Did you know Abraham and Noah did this?

A lot of believers today have been lied to by saying that all the commandments are for the Jews, however we know that Abraham begot Isaac, Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob begot the 12 Tribes of Yisra’el and one of his sons names was Judah, this where the Jews come from. So the Jews are just one of the 12 Tribes of Yisra’el and we see that Abraham existed before them all. People will also tell you that Abraham lived by faith alone and will point to Hebrews 11 which some called the “Hall of Faith.” So is this true that he lived by faith alone?

In the 66 Books of the Bible we see that Abraham kept the commandments, but the Book of Jubilees goes into greater detail about it. And we know that Paul writes in Galatians 3:27-29

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

Since we are the seed of Abraham and heirs according to the promise; then shouldn’t we be following in the footsteps of Abraham and our ancestors by keeping the commandments and living by faith?

 YESHUA is fulfilling the role of our High Priest in heaven taking over the function that the earthly priests did from the tribe of Levi, but I want to point out that Abraham and Noah were obedient to the Torah even down to doing priestly functions before the Levites, which will be will be an eye opener for most. I just wanted to point out some interesting parallel scriptures to show that Abraham was obeying the Torah the very thing which Christianity says is “done away with” and that he did not just live by faith alone. Which further proves the Torah is eternal (lasting forever). Enoch 99:2 “Woe to them who pervert the words of uprightness, and transgress the ETERNAL LAW (lasting forever Law).

 We will look at the parallels between the 66 Books and Jubilees:

Genesis 18:19

“For I have known him, so that he commands his children and his household after him, to guard the Way of YAHWEH, to do righteousness and Right-Ruling…”

What is the Way of YAHWEH and righteousness according to scripture?

Psalms 119:1

“Blessed are the perfect in THE WAY, who walk in the TORAH of YAHWEH?” We see that Abraham guarded the Torah of YAHWEH and this is confirmed in the book of Jubilees with exact same wording.

Deuteronomy 6:25

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

Jubilees 20:1-2

“And in the forty-second Jubilee, in the first year of the seventh week, Abraham called Ishmael, and his twelve sons, and Isaac and his two sons, and the six sons of Keturah, and their sons. And he commanded them that they should observe The Way of YAHWEH; that they should work righteousness, and each love his neighbor, and act in this manner among all men; that they should each so walk with regard to them as to do Right-Ruling and righteousness on the earth.”

So we see the key words from Genesis 18:19 which are The Way of YAHWEH, righteousness, and Right-Ruling are found in Jubilees 20:1-2.

Genesis 26:5

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

Sirach 44:19-20

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

Before the Levites followed Levitical Law Abraham was doing it!

Testament of Levi 9:6-14

“And Isaac called me (Levi) continually to put me in remembrance of the Torah of YAHWEH, even as the messenger of YAHWEH showed me. And he taught me the Torah of the priesthood, of slaughterings, ascension offerings, first-fruits, freewill offerings, and peace offerings. And each day that he was instructing me, he worked on my behalf before YAHWEH, and said to me, beware of the spirit of whoring; for this will continue and by your seed will pollute set-apart place. Therefore, take to yourself a wife without blemish or pollution, while you are still young; and not the race of strange nations. And bathe before entering into the set-apart place. And when you offer the slaughterings, wash, and then again when you finish. And when you finish the slaughtering, present twelve leafy trees, and offer them to YAHWEH, as ABRAHAM also taught ME. And every CLEAN BEAST and BIRD offer a slaughtering to YAHWEH. And of all your first-fruits and of wine offer the first, as an offering to YAHWEH ELOHIM; and every slaughtering you will season with SALT.”

As we see Abraham showed his son Isaac and Isaac showed Jacob’s son Levi everything that he was shown to prepare him. Even Noah followed this command of offering every clean beast and every clean bird for an offering as we saw from the Testament of Levi:

Genesis 8:20

“And Noah built an altar to YAHWEH, and took of every CLEAN beast and of every CLEAN bird, and offered BURNT OFFERINGS on the altar.”

Jubilees 6:1-3

“And on the new moon of the third month he (Noah) went out from the ark, and built an altar on the mountain. And he made atonement for the earth, and took a young goat and made atonement with its blood for all the guilt of the earth; for all that had been on it had been destroyed, except those that were in the ark of Noah. And he placed the fat of it on the altar, and he took a bull, and a goat, and male goat, and SALT, and a turtledove, and the young pigeon, and placed a burnt offering on the altar, and poured an offering on it mixed with oil, and sprinkled wine and spread frankincense over all, and caused a sweet fragrance to arise, acceptable before YAHWEH.”

Firstly, notice how Noah knew which animals were clean and unclean before the dietary laws in Leviticus 11? This is clear evidence that Noah was already observing the Torah. Scripture makes it clear to us that Noah offered only the clean beasts and birds just as Abraham and Isaac provided the same offering to YAHWEH. Furthermore, notice how Noah offered a “Burnt Offering” to YAHWEH? That means that he was following Torah and offering sacrifices before we see it mentioned in Leviticus. So Noah, Abraham, and Isaac all obeyed the Torah well before there ever was a mention of a Jew.

Leviticus 1:3

“If his offering is a BURNT offering of the herd, let him bring a male, a perfect one. Let him bring it at the door of the Tent of Appointment, for his acceptance before YAHWEH.”

Jubilees 7:20

“And in the twenty-eighth Jubilee Noah began to command his sons’ sons the LAWS AND COMMANDS, and all the Right-Rulings that he knew, and he urged his sons to observe RIGHTEOUSNESS, and to cover the shame of their flesh, and to bless their creator, and honor dad and mother, and love their neighbor, and guard their beings from whoring and uncleanness and all wickedness.”

Again, we not only was Noah obeying the commandments but he also taught his sons’ sons the laws.  We can see that Noah was telling them to observe the Torah of YAHWEH which is righteousness. There is also further proof found in Enoch that the Torah was being obeyed during Noah’s time:

Enoch 106:9-13

“And he (Methusaleh)  answered and said, “I have come to you (Enoch) because of great anxiety, and have approached because of a disturbing vision. And now my dad, hear me. A son (Noah) has been born to my son Lamek, the like of whom there is none, and his nature is not like man’s nature, and the color of his body is whiter than snow and redder than the bloom of a rose, and the hair of his head is whiter than white wool, and his eyes are like the rays of the sun, and he opened his eyes and lit up the whole house. And he arose in the hands of the midwife, and opened his mouth and blessed the Master of heaven.  And his dad Lamek became afraid and fled to me, and did not believe that he was sprung from him, but thought that he was born in the likeness of the messengers of heaven. And behold I have come to you that you may make the truth known to me.” And I, Enoch answered and said to him, YAHWEH will RENEW HIS TORAH ON THE EARTH, just as I saw, and made known to you that in the generation my dad Jared some of the angels of heaven transgressed the word of the Maser, the law of heaven.”

So the Torah existed before the flood and after the flood it was to be renewed starting with Noah. HalleluYAH! This how Noah already knew what to do regarding the Torah because he was already obeying it.

Peace offering parallels

Jubilees 21:8-9

“And you shall offer the fat of the slaughtering of thanksgiving on the fire which is upon the altar, and the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them by the loins, and the appendage on the liver you shall remove together with the kidneys. And offer all these for a sweet fragrance before YAHWEH, with its grain-offering and with its drink-offering, for a sweet fragrance, the bread of the offering to YAHWEH.”

Leviticus 3:3-4

“And from the peace offering he shall bring an offering made by fire to YAHWEH, the fat that covers the entrails and all the fat that is on the entrails, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them by the loins, and the appendage on the liver which he removes with the kidneys. And the sons of Aaron shall burn it on the altar upon the burnt offering, which is on the wood, which is on the fire, as an offering made by fire, a sweet fragrance unto YAHWEH.”

Peace/voluntary offering parallels

Jubilees 21:10

“And eat its meat on that day and on the second day, and do not let the sun on the second day go down on it till it is eaten, and let none be left over for the THIRD DAY; for it is not acceptable and let it no longer be eaten. And all who eat of it shall bring sin upon themselves; for thus I have found it written in the Books of my forefathers, and in the words of Enoch, and in the words of Noah.”

 Leviticus 7:15-18

“As for the flesh of the slaughtering of his peace offering for thanksgiving, it is eaten the same day it is offered, he does not leave any of it until morning. And if the offering he brings is a vow or voluntary offering, it is eaten the same day that he brings his slaughtering, and what is left of it is eaten the next day, but whatever is left of the flesh of the slaughtering on the THIRD DAY is burned with fire. However, if any of the flesh of his peace offering is eaten at all on the third day, it is not accepted. It is not reckoned to him who brings it, it is unclean to him, and the being who eats of it bears his wickedness.”

Salt on offerings

Leviticus 2:13

“And season with SALT every offering of your grain offering, and do not allow THE SALT OF THE COVENANT OF YOUR ELOHIM TO BE LACKING FROM YOUR GRAIN OFFERING. WITH ALL YOUR OFFERINGS YOU BRING SALT.”

Jubilees 21:11

“And you shall put SALT on ALL your offerings, AND DO NOT LET THE SALT OF THE COVENANT BE LACKING IN ALL YOUR OFFERINGS BEFORE YAHWEH.”

Jubilees 6:1-3

“And on the new moon of the third month he (Noah) went out from the ark, and built an altar on the mountain. And he made atonement for the earth, and took a young goat and made atonement with its blood for all the guilt of the earth; for all that had been on it had been destroyed, except those that were in the ark of Noah. And he placed the fat of it on the altar, and he took a bull, and a goat, and male goat, and SALT, and a turtledove, and the young pigeon, and placed a burnt offering on the altar, and poured an offering on it mixed with oil, and sprinkled wine and spread frankincense over all, and caused a sweet fragrance to arise, acceptable before YAHWEH.”

So again, we see that Noah and Abraham both did the exact same instructions when it comes to offerings, they offered every clean beast and bird, they seasoned the offerings with salt which are all instructions of the Torah.

Testament of Levi 9:12-14

“And when you finish the slaughtering, present twelve leafy trees, and offer them to YAHWEH, as ABRAHAM also taught ME. And every clean beast and bird offer a slaughtering to YAHWEH. And of all your first-fruits and of wine offer the first, as an offering to YAHWEH ELOHIM; and every slaughtering you will season with SALT.”

Washing of Hands and feet

Jubilees 21:16

“And at all times be clean in your body, and wash yourself with water before you approach to offer on the altar, and WASH YOUR HANDS AND YOUR FEET before you draw near to the altar; and when you are done offering, WASH YOUR HANDS AND FEET again.”

Exodus 30:18-19

“And you shall make a basin of bronze, with its stand also of bronze, for washing. And you shall put it between the Tent of Appointment and the altar, and shall put water in it. And Aaron and his sons shall wash from it their HANDS AND THEIR FEET.”

Covering blood with dust

Jubilees 21:17

“And let no blood appear upon you nor on your clothes; be on your guard, my son, against blood, be on your guard exceedingly; COVER IT WITH DUST.”

Leviticus 17:13

“And any man from the children of Yisra’el, or from the strangers, who sojourn among you, who hunts and catches any beast or bird, which is eaten, shall pour out its blood and COVER IT WITH DUST.”

I point this scripture out to show that Abraham knew what YAHWEH’s expectations were about blood that it is to be covered with dust. These scriptures are just further proof that the Torah is for all and clearly not just for the Jews and that Noah and Abraham were already obeying the Torah from the very beginning. It is not too late to repent and ask for forgiveness and begin to walk in the ancient paths as our ancestors did.

As always, I pray this clears up any misconceptions or lies that have been told and that some eyes have been opened.

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

Does the Book of Enoch belong in the Bible?

There have been many debates about the authenticity of the Book of Enoch or Hanok in Hebrew pronounced (Ha-knock) and many scholars and theologians have made it forbidden to read this book. Some say that these books are too Jewish! And my question is how can they be too Jewish when our Savior YESHUA was a Jew (Yehudi) from the Tribe of Judah (Yehuda)? Let us examine the scriptures as always to reveal the truth and also discuss the fallen malachim (angels) discussed in Genesis 6.

Proof there are missing books

Jubilees 4:17

“And he (Enoch) was the first among men that are born on earth who learned writing and knowledge and wisdom and who wrote down the signs of the heavens according to the order of their months in a BOOK, that men might know the seasons of the years according to the order of their separate months."

Jubilees 21:10

“And eat its meat on that day and on the second day, and do not let the sun on the second day go down on it till it is eaten, and let none be left over for the third day; for it is not acceptable and let it no longer be eaten. And all who eat of it shall bring sin upon themselves; for thus I (Abraham) have found it written in the Books of my forefathers, and in the words of ENOCH, and in the words of NOAH.”

Jubilees confirms that Enoch and even Noah wrote a book which is the very book that the world is being told not to read. Enoch helps us to understand the years and months of the solar calendar, and as Jubilees confirms, this is why he wrote it all down a book. Is this part of the reason why it was removed to hide it?

2 Esdras 14:38-48

“And the next day, see, a voice called to me saying, Ezra, open your mouth and drink what I give you to drink. Then I opened up my mouth, and see, he brought me a cup, which was full of water, but the color of it was like fire. And I took it, and drank; and when I had drunk from it, my heart spoke with understanding, and wisdom grew in my breast, for the remembrance in my spirit strengthened; and my mouth was opened, and no longer closed. And the Most High gave understanding to the five men, and they wrote the extraordinary night visions there were related, which they did not know; and they sat forty days, and wrote in the day, and ate their bread at night. As for me, I spoke during the day, and did not keep silent by night. In forty days they wrote TWO HUNDRED and FOUR BOOKS (Some translations say 94). And it came to be, when the forty days were complete, that the Most High spoke, saying, “The first that you have written publish OPENLY, that the worthy and unworthy may read it; but guard the seventy last, that you may deliver them only to those who are wise among the people; for in them is the spring of understanding, the fountain of wisdom, and the river of knowledge.” And I did so.”

Enoch 104:12

“Then, I know another mystery, that BOOKS will be given to the righteous and the wise to become a cause of joy and uprightness and much wisdom. And to them shall the books be given, and they shall believe in them and rejoice over them, and then all the righteous who have learned from them all the paths of uprightness shall be recompensed (compensation or reward given for loss or harm suffered or effort made).”

There are many passages in scripture that allude to there being other books that are in the Bible that are not included in the 66 Book canon. For example:

Joshua 5:13

“So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself upon their enemies. It this not written in THE BOOK OF JASHER?...”

1 Samuel 1:18

“Then David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son, and he ordered “The Bow” to be taught to the children of Judah. See, it is written in the BOOK OF JASHAR…”

It is very important to note that Enoch prophesied about our Messiah and Savior YESHUA the Son of YAHWEH, which is very important because the Pharisees who wrote the Masoretic text 1100 years after the Septuagint deleted passages and tried to hide prophecies about the coming of YESHUA! They do not believe that YESHUA already came as Lamb to take away the sins of the world. They believe when He comes that it will be His first time coming and therefore be deceived. Is this another reason why this book was banned?

 So let us examine some scriptures proving the authenticity of the Book of Enoch and why all believers should be reading it. Jude quoted from the Book of Enoch

Jude 1:14

“And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied of these, saying, “See, YAHWEH comes with myriads (countless) of saints, to execute judgment on all, to punish all who are wicked among them concerning all their wicked works which they have committed in a wicked way, and concerning all the harshness which wicked sinners have spoken against Him.”

Enoch 1:9

“And see! He comes with ten thousands of His saints to execute judgment up all, and to destroy all the wicked, and to convict all flesh of all the works of their wickedness which they have committed wickedly, and of all the harsh matters which wicked sinners have spoken against Him”

Enoch was righteous and was taken from earth without dying!

Mathew 18:16

“At the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.” There is at least four witnesses that testify of Enoch being taken without dying.

Genesis 5:24

“And Enoch walked with ELOHIM. Then he was no more, for ELOHIM TOOK him.”

Hebrews 11:5

“By belief, Enoch was TRANSLATED (to move from one place to another/ from earth to heaven) so as not to see death, “and was not found because ELOHIM had TRANSLATED him.” For before his translation he obtained witness, that he pleased ELOHIM.”

Sirach 44:16 (Included in 1611 KJV)

“Enoch pleased YAHWEH, and was TRANSLATED, being an example of repentance to all generations.”

Sirach 49:14

“But no man on the earth was created like Enoch; for he was TAKEN FROM THE EARTH.”

Jubilees 4:23

“And he (Enoch) was TAKEN FROM AMONG THE CHILDREN OF MEN, and we conducted him into the Garden of Eden in majesty and honor, and see, there he writes down the condemnation and judgment of the world, and all the wickedness’s of the children of men.”

Enoch 60:7-8 (A fragment of the Book of Noah) Noah speaking (My emphasis in parenthesis):

“And on that day were two monsters parted, a female monster named Leviathan, to dwell in the abysses of the ocean over the fountains of the waters. And the male is named Behemoth, who occupied with his breast a waste wilderness named Dawidayin, on the east of the garden where the elect and righteous dwell-WHERE MY GRANDFATHER (ENOCH) WAS TAKEN UP-the SEVENTH FROM ADAM, the first man whom YAHWEH of host created.”

Enoch 70:1-4

“And it came to be after this, that his name (Enoch) during his lifetime was raised above to the Son of Man and to YAHWEH of Hosts from amongst those who dwell on the earth. And he was raised above on the CHARIOTS of the spirit and his name vanished among them. And from that day I was no longer numbered amongst them: and he placed me between the two winds, between the North and the West, where the messenger took the cords to measure for me the place for the elect and righteous. And there I saw the first ancestors and righteous who from the beginning dwell in that place.”

Notice that Enoch was taken by chariots of the spirit? This reminds me of the chariots that took Elijah into the heavens in 2 Kings 2:11

“And it came to be, as they continued on and spoke, that see, a CHARIOT of fire with horses of fire which separated the two of them. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind into the heavens.”

Enoch 71:1-2

“And it came to be after this, that my spirit was translated and it ascended into the heavens: and I saw the holy sons of ELOHIM. They were stepping on flames of fire: their garments were white and their faces shone like snow. And I saw two streams of fire, and the light of that fire shone like jacinth, and I fell on my face before YAHWEH of hosts.”

So based off the few passages so far we can see that Enoch was special and that there was no man on earth like him, who pleased YAHWEH and was taken from the earth without dying. So far we have four witnesses (Genesis, Hebrews, Sirach, Jubilees and even his own book) all agree that he was taken after walking with YAHWEH for 300 years! So wouldn’t it make sense that Enoch would have instructions to give to the end time generations after being shown the end from the beginning by the mercy of YAHWEH?

Enoch 1:1-2

“The words of the blessing of Enoch, with which he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be living in the day of tribulation, when all the wicked and unrighteous are to be removed. And he took up his parable and said, Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by ELOHIM, saw the vision of the Holy One in the heavens (YESHUA), which the angels showed me. And from them I heard all matters, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a DISTANT (FUTURE) one which is to come.”

My fellow brothers and sisters Enoch saw visions of the Holy One YESHUA in heaven before He came to die for us on earth. Then he goes on to say that he heard all matters that wasn’t for his generation BUT A DISTANT ONE TO COME.” So Enoch had one of the oldest prophecies about end times shown to him in a dream and was shown heaven, the place of torment and so much more. And the Book of Jubilees which is another book that was removed confirms this:

Jubilees 4:16-24

“And in the eleventh Jubilee, Jared took a wife, and her name was “Blessing”, the daughter of Rasuyal, a daughter of his dad’s brother, in the fourth week of this Jubilee. And she bore him a son in the fifth week, in the fourth year of the Jubilee, and he called his name Enoch. And he was the FIRST among men that are born on earth who learned writing and knowledge and wisdom and who WROTE DOWN THE SIGNS OF THE HEAVENS according to the order of their months in a BOOK, that men might know the seasons of the years according to the order of their separate months.”

This is huge because YAHWEH used Enoch to write down important information for the future generations concerning the calendar. YAHWEH commanded us in Leviticus 23 and Deuteronomy 16 to observe His Appointed Times/Holy Days (Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Shavuot (Pentecost), Yom Teruah (Trumpets), Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement), Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), and the 8th Day Closing Assembly. Appointed Times are Appointments on a certain day that YAHWEH wants to meet with His people forever.

And the Book of Enoch along with Jubilees helps us to determine what fixed day the Appointed Times on YAHWEH’s calendar will fall on our Gregorian calendar. We know that Satan confused the set times as laws, so for example the 14th day of the 1st month which is Passover falls on April 6th on the Gregorian calendar; however, in YAHWEH’s eyes it’s the 14th day of the 1st month, it never shifts days using the correct method. Enoch tells you how many days are in a year and also talks about the orbit of the sun and moon and also how the moon falls behind 80 days in 8 years (Enoch 74) which is a warning to those who follow the lunar calendar. But let’s continue on with verse 18-24

“And he was the first to write a witness, and he witnessed to the sons of men among the generations of the earth, and recounted the weeks of the Jubilees, and made known to them the days of the years, and put in order the months and recounted the Sabbaths of the years as we (angels) made known to him. And what was and what shall be he saw in a vision (a vision that declared the end from the beginning) of his sleep, as it shall happen to the children of men throughout their generations until the Day of judgment. He saw and understood all, and WROTE his witness, and placed the witness on earth for ALL THE CHILDREN OF MEN and for their GENERATIONS (Which is the Book of Enoch), and in the twelfth Jubilee, in the seventh week, he took a wife, and her name was Edni, the daughter of Danel, the daughter of his dad’s brother. And in the sixth year in this week she bore him a son and he called his name Methushelah.”

Genesis 5:21-22

“And Enoch lived sixty-five years, and brought forth Methushelah. And after he brought forth Methushelah, Enoch walked with ELOHIM three hundred years, and brought forth sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.”

Jubilees 4:21-24 continued “And he was furthermore with the angels of ELOHIM these six Jubilee of years, and they showed him all which is on the earth and in the heavens-the rule of the sun-and he wrote it all down. And he witnessed to the Watchers, who had SINNED with the daughters of men; for these had begun to UNITE themselves-so as to be defiled-with the DAUGHTERS OF MEN, and Enoch witnessed against them all.

Fallen angels:

This scripture from Jubilees 4:21 is a direct reference to the account of Genesis 6, Jude, and 2 Peter:

Genesis 6:1-4

“And it came to be when men began to increase on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of ELOHIM (Angels/Watchers) saw the daughters of men, that they were good. And they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. And YAHWEH said, “My Spirit shall not strive with mankind forever in his going astray. He is flesh, and his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of ELOHIM came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, the men of name.”

Job 1:6

“And the day came to be that the sons of ELOHIM came to present themselves before YAHWEH, and Satan also came among them.” As we see these same sons of ELOHIM that are mentioned in Genesis 6 were present when Satan appeared before YAHWEH, so this was a spiritual meeting and not a physical one. There is no way that these sons of ELOHIM are the sons of Seth or any human being for that matter.

Enoch 13:8 (The fallen angels asked Enoch to petition for them for their sins)

“And see, a dream came to me, and visions fell down upon me, and I saw visions of rebuke, and a voice came bidding, to tell it to the SONS OF THE HEAVENS, and reprimand them.”

The fallen angels asked Enoch to intercede for them to YAHWEH after they mated with human women and brought forth giants and YAHWEH told them that angels intercede for man and not man for angels. We are about to go over Enoch 6 which directly correlates with Genesis 6.

Enoch 6:1-3

“And it came to be, when the children of men had multiplied, that in those days were born unto them good looking and lovely daughters. And the messengers (angels), the children of the heavens, saw and lusted after them, and said to one another: “Come let us choose wives from among the children of men and bring forth children. And Shemyatsa, who was their leader, said to them, “I fear you will not indeed agree to do this deed, and I alone shall have to pay the penalty of A GREAT SIN.”

So we see the fallen angels (sons of ELOHIM/Watchers/fallen angels) also called the children of the heavens, left there dwelling in heaven and took wives then mated with human women and defiled themselves. The leader of those fallen angels says plainly that he knew it was a GREAT SIN and Jude and Peter agree with this.  Jude and Peter knew what SIN it was they committed, because there is no mention of the angels sinning in the Bible OUTSIDE of Genesis 6! So Enoch 6 and Genesis 6 agree what that sin was!

Jude 1:6

“And the messengers (angels) who did not keep their own principality (domain), but LEFT THEIR OWN DWELLING (heaven), He has kept in everlasting shackles under the darkness for the judgment of the great day.”

Jude says that the messengers (angels) left their own dwelling/abode/home and are kept in chains in darkness. What did the angels do when they left the heavens? And how did Jude know that what they did was a sin?

Enoch 12:4-5

“Enoch, you scribe of righteousness go, declare, to the watchers (angels) of the heavens, WHO HAVE LEFT THE HIGH HEAVENS, THE ETERNAL PLACE, and have defiled themselves with women, and have done as the children of earth do, and have taken unto themselves wives, ‘You have wrought great destruction on the earth. And you shall have no peace nor forgiveness of sin…”

Notice again that Jude 1:6 says that they are held in chains in darkness until the great Day of Judgement? Where did Jude get this from?

Enoch 10:4-6

“And again YAHWEH said to Repha’el, “BIND Azaz’el HAND AND FOOT, and cast him into the DARKNESS: and make an opening in the desert, which is in Duda’el (Egypt), and cast him in there. And place upon him rough and jagged rocks, and cover him with DARKNESS, and let him abide there forever, and cover his face that he may NOT SEE LIGHT. AND ON THE GREAT DAY OF JUDGMENT he shall be cast into the fire.”

2 Peter 2:4

“For if YAHWEH did not spare the angels who SINNED, but sent them to Gey-Hinnom, and delivered them into CHAINS OF DARKNESS, to be kept for judgment..”

Peter also says that the angels sinned and we see that Genesis 6, Jubilees 4, and Jude agree with Enoch, that they defiled themselves with human women and this ties in to what Jubilees 4:22 that Enoch witnessed to the Watchers, who had SINNED with the daughters of men. We know that the angels are not recorded to having sinned any other time than what Genesis 6 records. But Enoch chapter 6 tells us exactly from the mouth of one of the angels what the sin was.

Enoch 15:1-11

“And He answered and said to me, and I heard His voice, “Fear not, Enoch, you righteous man and scribe of righteousness, approach there and hear My voice. “And go, say to the watchers (sons of ELOHIM, angels) of the heavens who have sent you to intercede for them, ‘You should intercede for men, and not men for you. Why have you left the high, holy, and eternal heavens (Jude 1:6 “Left their own dwelling”), and LAIN WITH WOMEN, and defiled yourselves with the DAUGHTERS OF MEN and taken to yourselves WIVES, and done like the children of earth, and BEGOTTEN GIANTS (Genesis 6:1-4) as sons? And though you were holy, spiritual, living the eternal life, you have defiled yourselves with the blood of women, and have brought forth with the blood of flesh, and, as the children of men, have lusted after flesh and blood, as those also do who die and perish. Therefore have I given them wives also that they might impregnate them, and bring forth children by them, that thus none might be lacking to them on the earth. But you were formerly spiritual, living the eternal life, and immortal for all generations of the world. And therefore I have NOT appointed wives for you; for as the spiritual ones of the heavens, in the heavens in THEIR DWELLING (And we already noted Jude says they left their dwelling.). And now, the giants who are produced FROM THE SPIRITS upon the earth, and on the earth shall be their dwelling. Evil spirits have proceeded from their bodies; because they are born from men and from the holy watchers is their beginning and primal origin; they shall be evil spirits on the earth, and evil spirits they shall be called. As for the spirits of the heavens, in the heavens shall be THEIR DWELLING, but as for the spirits of the earth which were born upon the earth, on the earth shall be their dwelling. And the spirits of the giants afflict, oppress, destroy, attack, do battle, and work destruction on the earth, and cause trouble. They take no food, but nevertheless hunger and thirst, and cause offences. And these spirits shall rise up against the children of men and against the women, because they have proceeded from them.”

Enoch 19:1

“And Uriel said to me, “Here shall stand the messengers (angels) who have CONNECTED THEMSELVES WITH WOMEN (SEXUALLY)- and their spirits ASSUMING MANY DIFFERENT FORMS  are defiling mankind and shall lead them astray into sacrificing to demons as mighty ones.”

YAHWEH says the giants were produced from the spirits because angels are heavenly immortal bodies, but they went into human women and brought forth giants. All of this is to further prove that authenticity of the Book of Enoch, and we see there are more than three witnesses concerning this.

What are messengers (angels) able to do? Keep in mind the coming alien deception with this following scriptures.

I think most believers lose sight of what Paul said in Ephesians 6:12

“Because we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against authorities, against the world-rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in the heavens.”

 We are at war with spirits and not humans; therefore, we should look at everything spiritually. Demons for example are evil spirits that need to possess a human being to interact in the physical realm, but what about messengers/angels? They appear to have both a spiritual body and physical body that they can manifest into.

The following scriptures will show how messengers are able to take on material or human form and interact with humans in the physical realm.

Enoch 19:1

“And Uriel said to me, “Here shall stand the messengers (angels) who have connected themselves with women- and their spirits ASSUMING MANY DIFFERENT FORMS  are defiling mankind and shall lead them astray into sacrificing to demons as might ones…”

Enoch 64:1

“And OTHER FORMS I saw hidden in that place. I heard the voice of the messenger saying, “These are the messengers who DESCENDED (From heaven) to the earth, and revealed what was hidden to the children of men and seduced the children of men into committing sin.”

Testament of Rueben 5:5-8

“Therefore my children, flee from whoring, and command your wives and your daughters that they adorn not their heads and faces to deceive the mind of men, because every woman who plots such has been reserved for eternal punishment. For in this way they enticed the Watcher (Messengers) who were before the flood. For as these continually looked upon them, they lusted after them, and they conceived the act in their mind; for THEY CHANGED THEMSELVES INTO THE SHAPE OF MEN, and appeared to them when they were with their husbands. And the women, lusting in their minds after their forms, gave birth to giants, for the Watchers appeared to them as reaching even to the heavens.” Them being able to change forms is consistent with the Book of Enoch which stated and even the Testament of Rueben agrees with every other account I covered that the messengers/angels went into the daughters of men and brought forth giants.

We know that in Genesis 18 that YAHWEH which had to be YESHUA because no one has ever seen the face of the Father at anytime (1 John 4:12) and two men appeared to Abraham, but then later in Genesis 19:1 we discover that the two men were two angels:

Genesis 18:1

“And YAHWEH appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, while he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day. So he lifted up his eyes and looked, and saw THREE MEN standing opposite him. And when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground.”

Genesis 18:16-22

“And the MEN rose up from there and looked toward Sedom, and Abraham went with them to send them away. And YAHWEH said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, since Abraham is certainly going to become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? For I have known him, so that he commands his children and his household after him, to guard the Way of YAHWEH, to do righteousness and Right-Ruling so that YAHWEH brings to Abraham what He has spoken to him.” And YAHWEH said because the outcry against Sedom and Amorah is great, and because their sin is very heavy, I am going down now to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me, and if not, I know.” So the MEN turned away from there and went toward Sedom, but Abraham still stood before YAHWEH.”

The very next chapter reveals who these TWO MEN are:

Genesis 19:1

“And the TWO MESSENGERS (ANGELS) came to Sedom in the evening, and lot was sitting in the gate of Sedom. And when Lot saw them, he rose up to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground…”

So can angels interact and do physical things that humans can do?

Genesis 18:4-8

“Please let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree. And let me bring a piece of bread and refresh your hearts, and then go on, for this is why you have come to your servant.” And they said, “Do as you have said.” So Abraham ran into the tent to Sarah and said, “Hurry, make ready three se’im of fine flour, knead it and make cakes.” And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hurried to prepare it. And he took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and put it before them, and he stood by them under the tree as THEY ATE.”

So we see that YESHUA and to two messengers/angels ate food and drank milk, but it doesn’t end there. Lot was confronted by all the men and young men at Sedom telling him to send the messengers out so that they could have sex with them and when Lot refused they rushed towards the door and what did the messengers/angels do?

Genesis 19:10

“But the men (angels) reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.”

Genesis 19:16

“And while he lingered, the men (angels) took hold of his hand, and his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters, YAHWEH having compassion on him, and they brought him out and put him outside the city.”

2 Maccabees 3:22-36

“Then they called upon YAHWEH the Almighty to guard the matters entrusted safe and secure for those that had committed them. Nevertheless Heliodorus executed that which was decreed (to take the gold and silver out of the Temple of YAHWEH). Now as he was there present with his guard around the treasury, YAHWEH of Spirits and the Prince of all power (YESHUA), caused a great appearance, so that all that came in with him were astonished at the power of ELOHIM and fainted and were greatly frightened. For there APPEARED (meaning they weren’t there at first) to them a horse with a fearsome rider upon it, and adorned with a very attractive covering. And it ran fiercely and smote at Heliodorus with its forelegs and it seemed that he that sat upon the horse had a harness completely of gold. And two other young men APPEARED before him, notable in strength, excellent in beauty and splendid in apparel, who stood by him on either side and FLOGGED him continually and gave him very many stripes. And Heliodorus fell suddenly to the ground and was surrounded with great darkness, but those that were with him picked him up and put him into a palanquin. So he, that recently came with a great procession and with all of his guard into the treasury, they carried out, being unable to help himself with his weapons, and making it clear they acknowledged the power of ELOHIM. For he, by the hand of ELOHIM was thrown down, and lay speechless without any expectancy of life. And they praised YAHWEH who had MIRACULOUSLY honored His own place, for the Temple-which shortly before was full of fear and trouble-when YAHWEH the Almighty appeared, was filled with joy and gladness. Then immediately some friends of Heliodorus who lay ready to breathe his last, pleaded with Onyah that he would call upon the Most High to grant him his life. So the high priest, suspecting lest the king should wrongly think that some treachery had been done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered an offering for the health of the man. Now as the high priest was making an atonement, the same young men in the garments APPEARED and stood beside Heliodorus saying, “Give Onyah the high priest great thanks, because for his sake YAHWEH has granted you life. And seeing that you have been FLOGGED FROM THE HEAVENS, declare to all men the mighty power of ELOHIM.” And when they had spoken these words, they NO LONGER APPEARED.”

So we see that angels could eat food, close doors, and physically pull Lot into the house and then take Lot, his wife, and his two daughters by the hand and bring them outside of the city! We also see that they were able to physically flog a human for the great sin that he committed and then disappear. So if they can do all of these things, then who is the say they cannot do more?

I think it’s interesting to note that in Tobiyah a book removed from the Bible shows how a messenger (angel) interacted with men and they didn’t know he was a messenger.

Tobiyah 5:3-7

“Then he (Tobiyah) gave him (his son Tobi) the handwriting, and said to him, “Seek a man who would go with you while I still live, and I shall give him wages, and go and receive the silver.” Therefore when he went out to seek a MAN, he found Repha’el who was MESSENGER (ANGEL). But HE DID NOT KNOW; and he said to him, “Would you go with me to Rhages, and do you know those places well? To whom the ANGEL replied, “I shall go with you, and I now the way well, for I have stayed with OUR brother Gaba’el.” Then Tobi said to him, “Wait for me till I tell my dad.”

Tobiyah 12:12-16

“Now therefore, when you and Sarah your daughter-in-law prayed, I brought the remembrance of your prayers before the Holy One. And when you buried the dead, I was with you also. And when you did not delay to rise up and leave your dinner to go and cover the dead, your good deed was not hidden from me, but I was with you. And now ELOHIM has sent me to heal you and Sarah your daughter-in-law. I am Repha’el, one of the SEVEN HOLY MESSENGERS (ANGELS), who present the prayers of the saints, and who go in and out before the esteem of the Holy One. Then they were both troubled, and fell upon their faces; for they were afraid.”

And look what Repha’el was able to do:

Tobiyah 12:1-3

“Then Tobiyah called his son Tobi, and said to him, “My son, see that the man who went with you receives his wages, and you must give him more.” And Tobi said to him. Dad, it is not trouble for me to give him half of that which I have brought, for he has brought me to you again in safety, and healed my wife whole, and brought me the silver, and also healed you.” Tobi made a promise to his dad and law not to leave the wedding feast even though Tobi knew he had to get the silver from the man that his dad Tobiyah sent him to get, so Tobi sent Repha’el the messenger to get the silver for him:

Tobiyah 9:1-6

“Then Tobi called Repha’el, and said to him, “Azaryah (the name Repha’el gave him) my brother, take a servant and two camels with you, and go to Rhages of Madai to Gaba’el and bring me the silver, and bring him to the wedding, for Ragu’el has sworn that I shall not depart. But my dad counts the days, and if I stay long, he shall be very grieved.” So Repha’el departed and stayed with Gaba’el and gave him the handwriting; who brought out bags which were sealed, and gave them to him. And early in the morning they both went out together, and came to the wedding, and blessed his wife.”

Hebrews 13:1

“Let the brotherly love continue. Do not forget to receive strangers, for by so doing some have UNWITTINGLY ENTERTAINED MESSENGERS (ANGELS).

Messenger/angels can take on the form of men and interact in the physical realm as we see from the scriptures of above. So for the nay-sayers who disagree with what happened in Genesis 6 and for those who reject the Book of Enoch can now see evidence contrary to their beliefs.

Enoch prophesied about YESHUA and parallels with 66 Books

Enoch 48:2-3

“And at that hour the Son of Man was Named in the presence of YAHWEH of hosts, and His Name before the Head of Days. Even BEFORE the sun and the signs were created, BEFORE the stars of the heavens were made, His Name was Named before YAHWEH of hosts.”

This further proof that YESHUA existed with His Father YHWH from the very beginning before the earth, sun, and stars were ever created, which makes perfect sense why YESHUA says in

John 17:4-5

“I have esteemed You on the earth, having accomplished the work You have given Me that I should do. And now, esteem Me with Yourself, Father, with esteem which I HAD WITH YOU BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.”

John 1:1-3

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with ELOHIM, and the Word was ELOHIM. He was IN THE BEGINNING WITH ELOHIM. ALL came to be through Him, and without Him not even one came to be that came to be.”

Colossians 1:14-17

“In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, who is the likeness of the invisible ELOHIM, the first-born of all creation. Because in Him were created all that are in the heavens and that are on the earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or ruler ships or principalities or authorities-all have been created through Him and for Him. And He is BEFORE ALL, and in Him all hold together.”

Hebrews 1:1-4

“YAHWEH, having of old spoken in many portions and many ways to the ancestors by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by the Son, whom He has appointed heir of all, THROUGH WHOM ALSO HE MADE THE AGES, who being the brightness of the esteem and the exact representation of His substance, and sustaining ALL BY THE WORD OF HIS POWER, having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness on high, having become so much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent Name than them.”

Revelation 3:14

“And to the angel of the assembly in Laodicea write, “The Amen, the Trustworthy and True Witness, THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF YAHWEH..”

Enoch 48:5

“All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before Him (YESHUA), and will praise and celebrate YHWH of hosts with song. And for this reason He has been chosen and hidden before Him (YAHWEH), before the creation of the world and for eternity.”

Philippians 2:8-10

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

Enoch 1:3-6

“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 come forth from His dwelling, and the eternal ELOHIM will TREAD UPON THE EARTH, on Mount Sinai, and appear from His camp and appear in the strength of His might from the heaven of heavens. And all shall be smitten with fear and the watchers shall quake, and great fear and TREMBLING SHALL SEIZE THEM UNTO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. And the high mountains shall be shaken, and the high hills shall be made low, and shall MELT LIKE WAX BEFORE THE FLAME.”

Micah 1:3-4

“For look, YAHWEH is coming out of His place, and He shall come down and SHALL TREAD ON THE HIGH PLACES OF THE EARTH. (Enoch 1:4) And the MOUNTAINS SHALL MELT LIKE WAX under Him, and the valleys be cleft as wax before the fire, as waters poured down a steep place.”

Psalms 97:3-5

“Fire goes before Him, and burns up His adversaries round about. His lightning’s shall light the world, THE EARTH SHALL SEE AND TREMBLE. THE MOUNTAINS SHALL MELT LIKE WAX BEFORE THE FACE OF YAHWEH, BEFORE THE FACE OF THE MASTER OF ALL THE EARTH.”

Enoch 51:1

“And in those days shall the earth also give back that which has been entrusted to it, and the grave also shall give back that which it has received, and Gey-Hinnom shall give back that which it owes. For in those days the Elect One (YESHUA) shall arise..” This passage correlates with Revelation:

Revelation 20:13

“And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, and death and the grave gave up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works.”

Enoch 51:2-5

“And He shall choose the righteous and holy from among them, for the day has drawn near that they should be saved. And the Elect One shall in those days sit on My (YAHWEH) throne, and His mouth shall pour forth all the secrets of wisdom and counsel, for YAHWEH of hosts has given to Him and has esteemed Him. And in those days the mountains shall lead like rams, and the hills also shall skip like lambs satisfied with milk, and the faces of the angels in the heavens shall be lit up with joy. And the earth shall rejoice, and the righteous shall dwell upon it, and the elect shall walk upon it.”

2 Peter 3:13

“But according to His promise we wait for the renewed heaven and a renewed earth in which righteousness dwells.”

I pray that after this study you will see that we absolutely should be reading the book of Enoch and that men are trying to hide the truth. The book of Enoch not only gets us insight or heaven and hell, but also helps us to determine the true solar calendar which we should be using, which also includes the Torah and Jubilees.

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

You will never question YAHWEH again!

Often times in our lives we pray for something and when you don’t get it within the time period that you think you should, then you start to question if YAHWEH has heard your prayer or you begin to think that you did something wrong. You ask YAHWEH why He is taking so long to move in your life? We have all been there, but the thing is that YAHWEH has declared the end from the beginning and His timing is always perfect. He is working even when you don’t think He is working, you just have to trust Him and wait for His kindness. This purpose of this is to wait for YAHWEH and understand that He is doing things behind the scenes that you cannot do or even fathom, it’s beyond human comprehension.

But first, I would like to go over scriptures that prove that we can never know the mind of YAHWEH nor does He need any counselor.

Which is why YAHWEH says:

Isaiah 55:8

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares YAHWEH. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.”

Then YESHUA said:

John 8:23

“And He said to them, “You are from below, I am from above. You are of this world, I am not of this world.”

And other writers agree that we can never fathom His ways:

2 Esdras 5:33-35

“And I said, “Speak on, master.” Then he said to me, “You are greatly troubled in heart for the sake of Yisra’el. Do you love that people more than He who made them? And I said, “No, master, but of very grief I have spoken, for my kidneys pain me every hour, while I labor to understand the Way of the Most High, and seek out part of His Right-Ruling.” And he said to me, “You CANNOT.” And I said, “Why, master?” For what was I born then, or why has my mother’s womb not my grave, that I might not have seen the trouble of Jacob, and the wearisome toil of the race of Yisra’el?

Ecclesiastes 11:5

“As you do not know what is the way of the wind, or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, so you do not know the works of ELOHIM who makes all.”

Isaiah 40:27-28

“Did you not know? Have you not heard? The everlasting ELOHIM, YAHWEH, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His UNDERSTANDING IS UNSEARCHABLE.” Paul agrees with Isaiah that YAHWEH’S understand is unsearchable:

Romans 11:33

“Oh, the depth of riches and wisdom and knowledge of ELOHIM! How UNSEARCHABLE the judgments and UNTRACEABLE HIS WAYS! For who has known the mind of YAHWEH? Or who has become His COUNSELOR?

Enoch 14:22

“The flaming fire was around Him, and a great fire stood before Him, and none around could draw near Him. Then thousand times ten thousand stood before Him, yet He needed NO COUNSELOR.”

Enoch 93:11-12

“For who is there of all the children of men that is able to hear the voice of the Holy One without being troubled? And who can think His thoughts? And who is there that can behold all the works of heaven? And how should there be one who could behold the heaven, and who is there that could understand the things of heaven and see a being or a spirit and could tell thereof, or ascend and see all their ends and think them or do like them?”

2 Esdras 7:19

“And he said to me. “There is no judge above ELOHIM, and none that has understanding above the Most High.”

Sirach 42:17-25

“YAHWEH has not given power to the saints to declare all of His marvelous works, which YAHWEH the Almighty firmly settled, that whatever exists might be established for His esteem. He seeks out the deep, and the heart, and considers their crafty schemes; for YAHWEH knows all that may be known, and He looks upon the signs of the world. He declares the matters that are past, and those to come, and reveals the path of that which is hidden.” Sirach agrees with Isaiah that YAHWEH declares matters that are past, and those to come.

Isaiah 46:9-10

“Remember the former of long ago, for I am EL, and there is no one else-ELOHIM, and there is no one like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from of old that which has not been done, saying, “My counsel stands, and all My delight I do.”

How awesome is YAHWEH? No human can do these things!

So I want to present some scriptures about what YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA are doing behind the scenes that you are unaware of. We cannot even begin to fathom all that He does and after reading this you will never question Him again.

2 Esdras 4:1-11 (Parenthesis is my emphasis)

“And the messenger that was sent to me, whose name was Uri’el, answered me and said, “Your heart has gone too far regarding this world, and do you think to understand the way of the Most High? Then I said, “Yes, my master.” And he answered me, and said, “I have been sent to show you three ways and to put forth three situations before you; of which if you declare to me one, I shall also show you the way that you desire to see, and I shall show you from where the wicked heart comes.” And I said, “Speak on, my master.” Then he said to me, “Go your way, WEIGH THE WEIGHT OF FIRE, OR MEASURE THE BLASTS OF WIND, OR RECALL THE PAST DAY.” Then I answered and said, “What MAN is able to do this, that you should ask such matters of me?” (Ezra couldn’t answer not one of three questions, which is why we should never question YAHWEH.)  And he said to me, “If I should ask you how many dwellings are in the midst of the sea, or how many springs are in the source of the deep, or how many fountains are above the expanse, or which are the exits of She’ol, nor did I ever climb up into the heavens.” Nevertheless I have only asked you of the fire and wind, and of the day through which you have passed, and of that from which you CANNOT be separated, and yet, you give me no answer of them.” He said further to me, “That which is your own, and what you have grown up with, you cannot know. How then should your mind be able to know the way of the Most High, and the world being now outwardly corrupted, to understand the corruption that is clearly in my sight?”

Which is why we are told not to lean not to our own understanding:

Proverbs 3:5

“Trust in YAHWEH with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding…”

Ezra was not able to answer any of these questions because they were beyond human comprehension. No one has ever thought about weighing fire or measuring the blast of the wind because that seems impossible, yet YAHWEH can do it. Even every hair on your head is numbered which is something you cannot do either.

Mathew 10:29-30

“Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground without your Father. And even the hairs of your head are ALL numbered.”

2 Esdras 5:35-49

“And he said to me, “You cannot.” And I said, “Why, master? For what I was born then, or why has my mother’s womb not my grave, that I might not have seen the trouble of Jacob, and the wearisome toil of the race of Yisra’el? And he said to me, “Number for me that which has not yet come (those not even born yet); gather together for me the dross that is scattered abroad (some translations say count up for Me the rain drops), make the flowers that are withered green again, open for Me the places that are closed, and bring forth for Me the winds that in them are shut up, show Me THE IMAGE OF A VOICE; and then I shall declare to you that which you labor to know.” And I said, O YAHWEH who reigns, who may know these, but He whose dwelling is not with men? As for me, I am unwise; how may I then speak of these matters of which You ask me? Then He said to me, “As you are UNABLE to do any of these that I have spoken of, even so you cannot find out My judgment, or the love in the end that I have promised to My people.” And I said, “See, O YAHWEH, You are still near to those who are reserved till the end; but what shall they do who have been before me, or we who are here now, or those who shall come after us? And He said to me “I shall liken My judgment to a circle; as there is no slackness for the last, even so there is no swiftness for the first.” So I answered and said, “Could you not make those who have been made, and are now, and who are to come, at once; that You might show Your judgment sooner? Then He answered me, and said, “The creature cannot hasten more than the Maker; neither could the world hold at once those who shall be created within.” And I said, “As You have said to Your servant, that You, who gives life to all, have given life at once to the creature that You have created, and the creation bore it; even so it might also bear those who are now present at once.” And He said to me, “Ask the womb of a woman, and say to her, if you bring forth children, why not do them all together, but one after another? Ask her therefore to bring forth TEN children at once.” And I said, “She cannot; but must do it over a span of time.” Then He said to me, “Even so have I given the womb of the earth to those who are sown in it in their times. For as a young child cannot bring forth those that belong to the aged, even so have I subjected the world which I created.”

Sirach 1:1-3

“All wisdom comes from YAHWEH, and is with Him forever. Who may number the sand of the sea and the drops of rain, and the days of eternity?”

Counting the number of rain drops is impossible for a man to do, yet Esdras and Sirach making references to YAHWEH counting them and not only the rain but the sand and the days of eternity, This is awesome our ELOHIM is!

Sirach 43:13-33 (parenthesis my emphasis)

“By His command He makes the snow fall in place, and sends the lightning’s of His judgment swiftly. Through this the storehouses are opened; and clouds fly onward as birds. By His great power He makes the clouds pour out, and the hailstones are broken small. At His sight the mountains are shaken, and at His desire the south wind blows. The noise of thunder cause the earth to tremble; so does the northern storm and the whirlwind. As birds flying He scatters the snow, and its falling is as the settling of grasshoppers. The eye marvels at the loveliness of its whiteness, and the heart is astonished at its falling. He also pours the frost as salt upon the earth, and being hardened, it lays on the top as sharp icicles. When the north wind blows, and the water is hardened into ice, it remains upon every collection of water, and clothes the water like a breastplate. It devours the mountains, and burns the wilderness, and consumes the grass like fire. A mist coming speedily stands as a healer of all, a refreshing dew coming after heat. By His counsel He calms the deep, and plants islands within it. Those who sail on the sea tell of its dangers; and when we hear it with our ears, we marvel at it.” For in it are strange and wondrous works, differing kinds of all creatures and whales created. By Him the end of them has a benefit of good, and by His word ALL EXISTS. WE MAY SPEAK MUCH, AND YET COME SHORT (In other words we can’t even begin to fathom His esteem, power, and might not even with many words). Therefore in summary, He is all. How are we able to exalt Him? For He is great above all His works. YAHWEH is awesome and exceedingly great, and His power is marvelous. When you esteem YAHWEH, exalt Him as much as you may; for He shall even yet far exceed. And when you exalt Him, deliver all your strength, and do not be weary; for you shall never declare enough, who has seen Him, that he might tell us? And who could exalt Him as He is? THERE ARE STILL GREATER THAN THESE WHICH ARE HIDDEN, for we have seen but a FEW OF HIS WORKS. For YAHWEH has made all; and to the reverent has He given wisdom.”

Enoch 93:13-14

“And who is there of all men that could know what is the breadth and the length of the earth, and to whom has been shown the measure of all of them? Or is there anyone who could discern the length of the heaven and how great is its height, and upon what it is founded, and how great is the number of the stars, and were all the luminaries rest?”

2 Esdras 6:1-6

“And He said to me, “In the beginning, when the earth was made, before the borders of the world stood, or the winds ever blew; before it thundered and lightning struck, or before the foundations of paradise were laid; before the lovely flowers were seen, or ever the movable powers were established, before the innumerable multitude of messengers were gathered together, or before the heights of the heavens were lifted up, before the measures of the expanse were named, or before the footstool of Zion was established, and before the present years were sought out, and before the deeds of those who now sin were turned, before those who have gathered belief for a treasure were sealed. Then I considered these, and they all were made through Me alone, and through none other; by Me they shall also be ended, and by none other.” And we know the world was created through His Son YESHUA John 1, Hebrews 1, Colossians 1, because they are ONE!

Job 38

“Then YAHWEH answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, “Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge? Now gird up your loins like a man, and I ask you, and you answer Me. Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding. Who appointed its measurements, if you know? Or who stretched the line upon it? Upon what were its foundations sunk? Or who laid its corner-stone, when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of ELOHIM shouted for joy? Or enclosed the sea with doors, when it burst forth and came from the womb, when I made the clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band; and assigned for it My law, and put bars and doors; and said, “This far you have come, but no farther, and here your proud waves stop? Have you ever commanded the morning, and caused the dawn to know its place, to take hold of the ends of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it? It is changed like clay under a seal, and they stand out like a garment. And their light is withheld from the wicked, and the arm lifted up is broken. Have you come to the sources of the sea? Or have you walked about in the recesses of the deep? Were the gates of death revealed to you? Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death? Have you understood the breadth of the earth? Declare, if you know it all. Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And darkness, where is its place, that you should take it to its boundary, and know the paths to its home? Do you know? For you would have been born then, and the number of your days been many! (Eternal and here from the beginning!) Have you entered into the storehouses of snow, or have you seen the storehouse of hail, which I have kept for the time of distress, for the day of fighting and battle? Where is the way that light is divided, or the east wind scattered over the earth? Who has cleft a channel for the overflowing water, or a way for the thunderclaps, to make rain fall on land where no one is, a wilderness in which there is no man; to satisfy the wild and waste places, and to make the seeds of grass to sprout? Does the rain have a father? Or who has brought forth the drops of dew? From whose womb comes the ice? And who gave birth to the frost of the heavens? The waters harden like stone, and the surface of the deep is frozen. Do you bind the bands of Kimah, or loosen the cords of Kesil? Do you bring out the constellations in its season? Or do you lead the bear with its sons? Do you know the laws of the heavens? Or do you apply their rule over the earth? Do you lift up your voice to the clouds, so that floods of water cover you? Do you send out lightning’s, and they go and say to you, ‘HERE WE ARE!?”

This reminds me of Baruk which says:

Baruk 3:32-34

“He who prepared the earth forever has filled it with four-footed beasts; He who sends forth the light, and it goes, calls it again, and it obeys Him with reverence. The stars shone in their watches, and rejoiced; when He calls them, they say, “HERE WE ARE.”

(Job 38 continued) Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the heart? Who has wisdom to count the clouds, or to tip over the pitches of the heavens, when the dust hardens in clumps, and the clouds cling together? Do you hunt the prey for the lion, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions, when they crouch in dens sit in the cover of their hiding place? Who provides food for the raven, when its young ones cry to EL, wander about without food?”

YAHWEH then continues to question Job about His power and knowledge in Chapter 39 to prove that no one can question Him! We cannot do not one of these things that He does and Job realized it, just as Ezra did. YAHWEH is the perfect immortal One, we are mortal and our comprehension only goes so far and if that wasn’t enough we are told that we haven’t even seen all of His works, but only a few of them.

 None of us can count the hairs on our own head, none of us can count the rain drops, none of us can count the sand on the seashore, none of us can count the clouds, or feed the lions and ravens in the wild when they are hungry, none of us can weigh fire, none of us can show the picture of a voice, none of us were there to lay the foundations of the earth, none of us know the measurements of the earth, none of us know the measurements or the height of the heavens. None of us know the path of the wind or the laws of the heavens. So the next time you get ready to complain or doubt who YAHWEH is remember these scriptures and praise His Holy Name at all times! YAHWEH is worthy of praise and magnificent in all of His ways, we can never question anything that He does because His will is perfect. Most of us have never even contemplated all that He does daily and what He has done, so I pray this is an eye opener for you to know what Mighty ELOHIM we serve!

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

Important questions about the Sabbath!

Over the years I have been presented with some good questions regarding the Sabbath and I want to always look at scripture as we answer these questions. These are the common questions I have been asked regarding the Sabbath. But, as always I am not the final authority on the topic and just want to help shed some light on some of these questions. Make sure that you take everything to our Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA in prayer.

Question: What constitutes as work on the Sabbath?

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 had made. And ELOHIM blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all His work which ELOHIM in creating had made.

Exodus 20:9-11

“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 YAHWEH your ELOHIM. You do not do any work- you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days YAHWEH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. There YAHWEH blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it.”

Jubilees 50:12

“And every man who does ANY WORK thereon, or goes on a journey, or tills his field (garden work/farm work), whether in his house or any other place, and whoever lights a fire, or rides on any beast (horseback riding), or travels by ship on the sea (cruises), and whoever smites or kills whatever, or slaughters a beast or bird, or whoever catches an animal or bird or a fish (hunting and fishing) or whoever fasts or goes to battle on the Sabbath.”

Lighting a fire in my opinion has a strong connection to the ritual in Judaism when they light the Shabbat candles to bring in the Sabbath; and saying a prayer saying YAHWEH commanded the lighting of the Shabbat candles when He didn’t. It seems to be an intentional lighting of a fire the same way the tradition in Judaism is to not eat lamb on Passover as YAHWEH commanded in Exodus, but they rather replace it with shank bone, which is the exact opposite of what YAHWEH commanded. Also, the man who was stoned for collecting sticks on the Sabbath must have been collecting sticks to build a fire. And building a fire requires work, he had six days to gather all of the sticks and get the fire started before the start of the Sabbath. Again, this is my opinion on the situation.

Jubilees 2:25-26

“He created the heavens and earth and all that He created in six days, and ELOHIM made the seventh day holy for all His works. Therefore He commanded for this reason, that whoever does any work on it shall die, and that he who defiles it shall certainly die. Therefore you shall command the children of Yisra’el to observe this day that they may sanctify it and not do any work on it, and not to defile it, as it is MORE HOLY THAN ALL THE OTHER DAYS.”

As we can see our Father YAHWEH wants us to get away from doing what we normally we do on the other six days. This day is set apart to Him, so no garden work, horseback riding, hunting, fishing, cruises, cooking, cleaning, shopping, paying bills are not permitted on the Sabbath. The goal is to rest as He commanded and get OUT of the world. The Sabbath is more holy than all of the other days; therefore, separating yourself from worldly activity, worldly talk, are ways to honor the Sabbath because it is the holiest day of the week.

We see that in Genesis our Father YAHWEH gave us the example that He expects us to follow and reinforces this by telling us to remember to rest on the Sabbath in the 10 commandments. The weekly 7th Day Sabbath and Yom Kippur all called “Shabbat Shabbaton’s” which means complete stopping and complete ceasing from all activity. Many have asked saying “YESHUA said that it is good to do good on the Sabbath, so isn’t working as a doctor or nurse considered doing good on the Sabbath?” Yes, YESHUA did heal on the Sabbath which is doing good, but He didn’t earn a wage nor did He heal with pharmakia, so if you were to go out and heal someone with natural medicines without receiving a wage for it, then this is a good thing, but we know most people don’t work for free, especially if it is their job. YESHUA’s examples were all about SUSTAINING LIFE and not earning a wage or personal gain. The problem is that the Pharisees were accusing YESHUA of breaking THEIR version of the Sabbath by adding many man-made traditions to it. Examples:

Mathew 12:5

“Or did you not read in the Torah that on the Sabbath the priests in the Sanctuary profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?”

So what is YESHUA saying here? They profaned the Sabbath yet they were innocent? That is because they were making slaughtering offerings for the forgiveness of sins on the Sabbath, which is doing GOOD because they were sustaining life on the Sabbath by making atonement for the people. The Book of Jubilees confirms this:

Jubilees 50:11

“This work alone shall be done on the Sabbath-Days in the Sanctuary of YAHWEH your ELOHIM; that they may atone for Yisra’el with offering continually from day to day for a memorial well-pleasing before YAHWEH, and that He may receive them always from day to day accordingly as you have been commanded.”

YESHUA wasn’t profaning the Sabbath by doing any work, He was merely showing the Pharisees that they were hypocrites that added to the Word of YHWH to make themselves appear more holy, but it was all works of the flesh and not the Spirit.

As YESHUA said in Mathew 23 “they lay heavy burdens upon men, but they themselves do not lift a finger.” However, if the command is from the Torah then you are to do it, just not according to their works. For example if they said to keep The Sabbath holy then you are to do it because it’s in the Torah, but not according to their works means that because of their man-made laws they added to the Torah like (you cannot tie your shoes on the Sabbath, you cannot write on the Sabbath, winnowing which plucking heads of grain that YESHUA’s disciples did in Luke 6)

 They held their added traditions to higher value than the Torah making the commandments of YAHWEH of no-effect. The Pharisees tried to accuse YESHUA of breaking The Sabbath; when in actuality they were measuring YESHUA up to their added prohibits to the Torah and not the actual words of YAHWEH, which is why YESHUA said in Mathew 15:6-10

“So you have nullified the Command of ELOHIM by your tradition. Hypocrites! Isaiah rightly prophesied about you saying, ‘This people draw near to Me with their mouth, and respect Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. But in vain do they worship Me, teaching as teachings the commands of men.”

Luke 12:1

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

An example of their hypocrisy is found in John 7:19-23

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

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

Luke 13:10-16

“And He was teaching in one of the congregations on the Sabbath, and see, there was a woman having a weakening spirit for eighteen years, and was bent over and was unable to straighten up at all. And YESHUA, seeing her, called her near and said to her, “Woman, you are loosened from your weakness.” And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was straightened up, and praised ELOHIM. But the ruler of the congregation, responding, much displeased that YESHUA had healed on the Sabbath, said to the crowd, “There are six days on which men should work, so come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day.” Then the Master answered him and said, “Hypocrite! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loosen his ox or his donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? “And this one, being a daughter or Abraham, whom Satan has bound, look, for eighteen years, should she not be loosened from this bond on the Sabbath?

Since, when is healing someone a bad thing or considered work? YESHUA was always showing the Pharisees their hypocritical teachings.  Furthermore, we can agree that there are thousands of other doctors or nurses who do not observe the Torah that will gladly work in your place, it’s just time to decide whether you will obey the commands of YAHWEH or not.  Doing good can also be helping the poor, a medical emergency in the family, stopping a dog or child from being hit by a car, saving them from drowning etc. All of these help SUSTAIN LIFE! Nowhere are wages being earned in any of the scriptures, the goal is to rest, to eat, read, pray, worship our Father YAHWEH who has blessed us with all of these things. He is simply saying give Him 24 hours away from the world and draw closer to Him and His ways, because this day is about Him and not ourselves.

We just have to make the decision to be obedient to our Father YAHWEH or not, it’s all a test. Will you pass the test in trust in the provision of YAHWEH or will you trust in yourself to provide while profaning the Sabbath? I personally, had a decision to make when it was “mandatory” to work on the Sabbath or be fired and I choose to stand for the commands of YAHWEH and I said I wasn’t going to work and I was blessed for trusting in Him.

Exodus 16:4

“And YAHWEH said to Moses, “See, I am raining bread from the heavens for you. And the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day. In order TO TRY THEM, whether they walk in My Torah or not.”

The purpose is to turn away from work and our own desires on this day, to rest, praise and worship of Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA on this day.

Question: Who are the male and female servants? Can you children work?

Exodus 20:9-11

“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 YAHWEH your ELOHIM. You do not do any work- you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days YAHWEH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. There YAHWEH blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it.”

We see a part of the instructions that our ELOHIM gives is not only for you not to work, but also your sons and daughters, so if you have children living with you and they are working on the Sabbath it is your duty to make sure they stop because it’s our duty as a parent to raise up children according to YAHWEH’s word:

 Deuteronomy 6:6-9

“And these Words which I am commanding you today shall be in your heart, and you shall impress them upon your children, and shall speak of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up, and shall bind them as a sign on our hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.”

What about the male and female servants? To apply this in modern day, if you go to a restaurant or even a drive through window of a fast food place, they have to work in order to prepare your food and ring up your order which means that they have provided a service for you; therefore, they have become your male or female servants for the time period which would violate the Sabbath. Even going to the grocery store and going through a check out or even a self-checkout is still causing someone else to work for you. Someone had to open the store, stock the shelves, ring you up, or even caught on the self-check-out machine. Also, if you own a business and keep the business open and pay employees to work on the Sabbath then this is also violation of the commandment, because they are your male and females servants that you are paying to conduct a service for you and others. Make sure you close down shop on the Sabbath day.

Question: Buying or selling on Sabbath?

This correlates with the question about the modern day servants. But it also includes that we are not supposed to buy or sell on the Sabbath Day. This includes anything for your business, buying something on Amazon, Craigslist, yard sales, flea markets, or paying bills online. We have six days to do all of these things, but the seventh day is holy unto YAHWEH.

Jubilees 50:8

“And the man that does any work on it shall die. Whoever lies with his wife or whoever says he shall do whatever on it- that he shall depart on a journey thereon in regard to ANY BUYING OR SELLING…”

Buying and selling is so serious that we can look to Nehemiah’s example:

Nehemiah 13:15-21

“In those days I saw in Judah those treading wine presses on the Sabbath, and brining in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, and figs, and all kids of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. So I warned on the day they SOLD FOOD. And men of Tsor dwelt there, bringing in fish and all kinds of goods, and sold them on the Sabbath to the children of Judah, and Jerusalem. Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, “What EVIL matter is this that you are doing, PROFANING the Sabbath day? Did not your ancestors do the same so that our ELOHIM brought all this evil on us and on this city? Yet you bring added wrath on Yisra’el by PROFANING the Sabbath.” And it came to be, at the gates of Jerusalem, as it began to be dark before the Sabbath, that I commanded the gates to be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the Sabbath. And I stood some of my servants at the gates, so that no burdens would be brought in on the Sabbath day. And the merchants and sellers of all kinds of wares spend the night outside Jerusalem once or twice, and I warned them, and said to them, “Why do you spend the night around the wall? If you do so again, I lay hands on you!” From that time on they came no more on the Sabbath.”

Nehemiah was literally referring to what YAHWEH spoke in:

Jeremiah 17:21-27

“Thus said YAHWEH, “Guard yourselves, and bear no burden on the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Jerusalem, not take a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath day, nor do any work. And you shall sanctify the Sabbath day, as I commanded your ancestors (10 commandments.) But they did not obey, or incline their ear, and they made their neck stiff not to hear and not to receive instruction. And it shall be, if you diligently obey Me,” declares YAHWEH, “to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, and sanctify the Sabbath day, to do nor work in it, then kings and heads sitting on the throne of David shall enter in through the gates of this city, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their heads-the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall be inhabited forever. And they shall come from the cities of Judah and from the places around Jerusalem, and form the land of Benjamin and from the low country, from the mountains and form the Negev, bringing burnt offerings and slaughtering’s, grain offerings and incense, brining offerings of praise to the House of YAHWEH. But if you do not obey Me to sanctify the Sabbath day, and not to bear a burden when entering the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I shall kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall consume the palaces of Jerusalem, and not be quenched.”

So as we see that buying or selling on the Sabbath is so serious that Nehemiah not only closed the gates to prevent people from buying or selling, but also place guards to stop them.

Question: Can you cook on Sabbath?

The ultimate goal is to rest as our ELOHIM did on the Sabbath and get everything prepared, chopped and cooked, which is why Friday is called “Preparation Day.”

Luke 23:54-56

“And it was Preparation day, and the Sabbath was approaching. And the women who had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and saw the tomb and how His body was laid. And having returned, they prepared spices and perfumed. And they rested on the Sabbath according to the Command.”

Exodus 16:23-29

“And he said to them, “This is what YAHWEH has said, ‘Tomorrow is a REST, a Sabbath holy to YAHWEH. That which you bake, bake; and that which your cook, cook (So no cooking). And lay up for yourselves all that is left over, to keep it until morning. And they laid it up till morning, as Moses commanded. And it did not stink, and no worm was in it. And Moses said, “Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to YAHWEH, 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 YAHWEH said to Moses, “How long shall you refuse to guard My Commands and My Torot? See, because YAHWEH has given you the Sabbath, therefore He is giving you bread for TWO DAYS ON THE SIXTH DAY. Let each one stay in his place, do not let anyone go out of his place on the seventh day.”

Just like we read in Luke 23 about Preparation Day, we see that our Father YAHWEH already instituted back in Exodus 16, by providing twice as much manna on the 6th day so they could rest on the Sabbath, and this pattern was established for 40 years in the wilderness. They did all of their preparation on the 6th day and laid it up until the Sabbath, the same way we should do today.

Jubilees 50:8-9

“And whoever draws water (if you have a well for example) thereon which he had not PREPARED for himself on the SIXTH DAY, and whoever takes up any burden to carry it out of his tent out of his house shall die. You shall DO NO WORK whatever on the Sabbath Day except that you have PREPARED for yourselves on the SIXTH DAY, so as to eat, and drink, and rest, and guard the Sabbath from ALL WORK on that day, to bless YAHWEH your ELOHIM, who has given you a day of Festival, and a holy day, and a day of the holy reign for all Yisra’el is this day among their days forever.”

As we can see Preparation is key and we must get everything done so we can rest. There were times when I would prepare my meals two days in advance for the Sabbath if I thought I would be pushing it before the sunsets, especially in the winter when the sunsets at 4:30 pm. I stated earlier that I do not use an oven, stove, or microwave on the Sabbath, but if I want something hot I’ll put a soup or chili in the crockpot and leave it on before the Sabbath begins. Just some ideas to give you. I personally do warm food as a personal conviction, so I encourage you to take everything to YAHWEH in prayer.

Question: Can you have sex on the Sabbath?

Jubilees 50:8

“And the man that does any work on it shall die. Whoever profanes that day, whoever lies with his wife or whoever says he shall do whatever on it…”

Isaiah 58:13

“If you do turn back your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on My holy day, and shall call the Sabbath ‘a delight,’ the sanctified of YAHWEH ‘esteemed,’ and shall esteem it, NOT DOING YOUR OWN WAY, NOR FINDING YOUR OWN PLEASURE (Sex is a pleasurable act), nor speaking your own words, then you shall delight yourself in YAHWEH. And I shall cause you to ride on the heights of the earth, and feed you with the inheritance of Jacob your ancestor. For the mouth of YAHWEH has spoken!”

We are to turn away from our pleasures, our desires and even not to speak our own idles words on the Sabbath, so that means refrain from worldly talk of politics or things that don’t esteem our ELOHIM! Plus, you can go a whole 24 hours without having relations with your spouse. Also, we can find more confirmation in Leviticus:

Leviticus 15:18

“And when a woman lies with a man, and there is an emission of semen, they both shall bath in water, and be unclean until evening.”

Therefore, having relations on the Sabbath means that you will be unclean on YAHWEH’s holy day. It would be best to wait until after the Sabbath passes.

Question: Can I fast on the Sabbath?

Jubilees 50:12

“And every man who does ANY WORK thereon, or goes on a journey, or tills his field (garden work), whether in his house or any other place, and whoever lights a fire, or rides on any beast (horseback riding), or travels by ship on the sea (cruises), and whoever smites or kills whatever, or slaughters a beast or bird, or whoever catches an animal or bird or a fish (hunting and fishing) or whoever FASTS or goes to battle on the Sabbath.”

Judith 8:6

“And she fasted all the days of her widowhood, EXCEPT THE SABBATH, and evenings of the Sabbaths, and the new moons, and the evening of the new moons and the Festivals and Appointed Times of the house of Yisra’el.”

A good question does arise when people want to know why YESHUA fasted for 40 days and 40 nights. And my opinion is that YESHUA was taken to the wilderness to be tried by the devil, but nowhere else in scripture is there record of YESHUA making it a habit to fast on the Sabbath, it is even recorded in Luke 6 about how His disciples plucked grain on the Sabbath to eat, and I personally have not seen it mentioned of any of the disciples fasting on the Sabbath. And another good question is what about when Moses fasted for 40 days and 40 nights while receiving the 10 commandments on Mount Sinai? I personal belief is what scripture says in:

Mathew 4:4

“But He answering, said, “It has been written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but every word that comes from the mouth of YAHWEH.” YESHUA was quoting Deuteronomy 8:3

“And He humbled you, and not let you suffer hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your ancestors know, to make you know that man does not live by bread alone, but by all that comes from the mouth of YAHWEH.”

So I believe that Moses was literally sitting in the presence of our ELOHIM and having a feast of the Living Words that were being spoken to him. He didn’t need earthly food, because He was eating the spiritual food of every word that was spoken out of the mouth of YAHWEH!

Question: Can I travel on the Sabbath?

This question isn’t so easily answered and again I am not the authority on it, but I will present four scriptures pertaining to it. So again, please take everything to our Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA in prayer and see how the RUACH HA’KODESH The Holy Spirit leads you.

Exodus 16:29

“See, because YAHWEH has given you the Sabbath, therefore He is giving you bread for two days on the sixth day. Let each one stay in his place, do not let anyone go out of his place on the seventh day.” So the people rested on the seventh day.”

Jubilees 50:12

“And every man who does any work thereon, OR GOES ON A JOURNEY…”

So the question then becomes what is constituted as a journey? What is the distance? Because we see this mentioned in the New Testament:

Acts 1:12

“Then they went back to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is NEAR JERUSALEM, A SABBATH DAY’S JOURNEY.”

There must be something here because YESHUA said in Mathew 24:20

“But pray that your flight may not be in the winter, nor on the Sabbath Day.”

So say its 2,000 feet and others disagree; however, for me I choose to stay in the house and refrain from traveling, but again, this is what I do, and I encourage anyone reading or listening to pray to see what He leads you to do. As always may our Father YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!

Forgive or you WILL NOT be forgiven!

Psalms 103:8-17

“YAHWEH is compassionate and showing favor, patient, and great in kindness. He does not always strive, nor maintain it forever. He has not done to us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our wickedness’s, for as the heavens are higher above the earth, so great is His kindness toward those who fear Him; as far as east is from west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. As a dad has compassion for his children, so YAHWEH has compassion for those who fear Him. For He knows how we are made; He remembers that we are dust. A man’s days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourishes. For the wind blows over it, and it is no more, and its place no longer remembers it. But the kindness of YAHWEH is from everlasting to everlasting upon those who fear Him, and His righteousness to children’s children.”

2 Peter 3:9

“YAHWEH is not slow in regard to the promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward us, not wanting that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.”

As we see our Father YAHWEH’s mercy endures forever. He is patient, kind, loving, and forgiving. He did not strike us down for or sins knowing that we are worthy of death. Paul said:

 Romans 6:23

 “For the wages of sin is death. But the gift of ELOHIM is eternal life through YESHUA HA’MASHIACH our Master.”

Since we all have sinned before a holy ELOHIM we are worthy of death, but YAHWEH chose not to kill us, but rather forgive us! YAHWEH sent His only begotten Son to become sin for us and FORGIVE US of our sins! To put this into perspective, just think of the worst thing that you have ever done in your life, and if you repent of that sin He will forgive you, and receive you with open arms just like the prodigal son parable that YESHUA told. How many of us could receive someone with open arms after they have done something to us that we deem is unforgivable? Like taking all of your money, not paying you back what they owe, stealing from you, talking about you behind your back, or catching your husband or wife committing adultery? Would you forgive them?

Mathew 18:21-22

“Then Peter came to Him and said, My Master, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times? YESHUA said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.”

1 John 3:15

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

Forgiveness is one of the hardest things for believers to overcome, because it requires humility and love to not hold a grudge against someone. Many people will lose friends and family over this because they have hardened their hearts and do not want to say the words “I forgive you.” The enemy has placed it on the hearts of believers to accept the mentality of pride when they are wronged by saying “You don’t want to see my bad side”, “You don’t want to try to me or get on my bad side”, “I wear my religion on my sleeve.” “If this person does this to me they are going to know about it.” This hardening of the heart has no room for repentance, nor does it allow you to forgive someone. Not forgiving someone and holding a grudge can destroy marriages, friendships, and families.

Testament of Zebulon 8:1-6

“Therefore, my children, you yourselves should have compassion towards every man with kindness, that YAHWEH also may have compassion and kindness upon you. Because in the last days ELOHIM will send His compassion on the earth, and wherever He finds bowels of kindness He dwells in him. For in the degree in which a man has compassion upon his neighbors, in the same degree has YAHWEH also in him. And when we went down to Egypt, Joseph bore no malice against us. To the ones on guard, you also, my children, approve yourselves without malice, and love one another; do not set down in account, each one of you, evil against his brother. For this breaks unity and DIVIDES ALL FAMILIES, and troubles the being, and wears away the face.”

Remember, YESHUA died for us to forgive us of our sins even though He committed no sin and He did not ask questions or hold it over our heads. He simply went to the execution stake and was obedient to the point of death because He loves us. How easy would it have been for YESHUA to say “You know what I remember that time you broke the Sabbath, I remember the time you celebrated pagan holidays, I remember every sin you did, so no I don’t forgive you and never will.” Not only would we be crushed knowing we have no salvation, but He would be completely justified. However He didn’t do this, nor did it ever enter into His mind; therefore, we must walk like YESHUA walked.

1 John 2:6

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

Mathew 6:14-15

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your Father of the heavens shall also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither shall you Father forgive your trespasses.”

I expect to be forgiven but I don’t have to forgive!

This seems to be the mentality of many who say they know YESHUA! If this is how you are thinking today, please repent and guard yourselves because YESHUA spoke on this very matter:

Mathew 18:23-35

“Because of this the reign of the heavens is like a certain man, a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. And when he had begun to settle, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand Talanton, but he was unable to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and payment to be made. Then the servant fell down before him, saying, “Master, have patience with me, and I shall pay you all.’ “And the master of that servant was moved with compassion released him, and forgave him the debt. And that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver pieces. And he laid hands on him and took him by the throat, saying, ‘Pay me what you owe! Then his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, saying, ‘Have patience with me, and I shall pay you all.’ “But he would not, and went and threw him into prison till he should pay the debt. And when his fellow servants saw what had been done, they were deeply grieved, and came and reported to their master all that had taken place. Then his master called him and said to him, ‘Wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt seeing you begged me. Should you not also have had compassion on your fellow servant, as I also had compassion on you? And his master was wroth, and delivered him to the torturers until he should pay all that was due to him. So also My Father of the heavens shall do to you if each of you, from his heart, does not forgive his brother his trespasses.”

As you can see the servant that was forgiven owed way more than the one who owed him. We can liken this to YAHWEH and YESHUA having compassion on us for our many sins, but still forgave us through the blood of His Son. But then we go out to someone who has wronged us and cannot forgive them for the small trespass against us when we are all guilty of greater debt of sins. YAHWEH forgave us therefore we shall certainly forgive others, and as we see this deed will not go unpunished on judgment day.

What commonly takes place is that if a person does something to offend someone else then they feel that the one they wronged is required to forgive them saying “I said I was sorry!”. But the moment that same person gets offended by what someone does to them, then they cannot find it in their heart to forgive them as they forgave you. Is this how a believer should act? Does our Father YAHWEH do this to us? Absolutely not! The first things believers will quickly say when they sin is “YAHWEH will forgive me!” So you automatically expect YAHWEH to forgive you, but that you are not automatically expected to forgive others? That is not how YAHWEH works!

Ephesians 4:31-32

“Let all bitterness, and wrath, and displeasure, and uproar, and slander be put away from you, along with all evil. And be kind towards one another, tenderhearted, FORGIVING one another, as YAHWEH also forgave you in Messiah.”

Sirach 10:6

“Do not bear hatred against your neighbor for every wrong; and do not act as an insulter at all.”

Sirach 28:1-5

“He who is vengeful shall find vengeance from YAHWEH, and He shall surely keep account of his sins. Forgive your neighbor the harm that he has done to you, so your sins shall also be forgiven when you pray. One man bears hatred against another; and should he seek forgiveness from YAHWEH? He shows no kindness to a man, who is like himself; and does he ask forgiveness of his own sins? If he who is but flesh maintains hatred, who shall pray forgiveness for his sins?

Testament of Simeon 4:1-6

“And my dad asked concerning me, because he saw that I was sad. And I said to him, I’ am pained in my liver.’ For I mourned more than they all, because I was guilty of the selling Joseph. And when we went down into Egypt, and he bound me as a spy, I knew that I was suffering justly, and I did not grieve. Now Joseph was a good man, and had the Spirit of ELOHIM within him; being compassionate and pitiful, he bore no malice against me; but loved me even as the rest of his brothers. Beware, therefore, my children, of all jealousy and envy, and walk in singleness of being with good heart, keeping in mind Joseph your dad’s brother, that ELOHIM may give you also favor and esteem, and blessing upon your heads, even as you saw in Joseph’s case. All his days he did not despise us concerning this thing (forgiveness), but loved us as his own being, and esteemed us beyond his own sons, and gave us riches, and cattle and fruits.”

We see that Joseph was hated by his brothers and they sold him into slavery, yet he did not hold it against them. Joseph forgave them and had them to live in the best part of Egypt and provided for them during the famine. How many people would be able to forgive their family for doing this to them? How many can forgive their mom or dad if they abandoned them at a young age? We all need to be like Joseph and forgive and like YESHUA said forgive seventy times seven. And always look to the greatest act of forgiveness and love that we cannot even comprehend, the blood atonement of YESHUA!

So if you are holding a grudge against a friend, neighbor or family member in your heart let today be the day that you tell them “I forgive you.” Because holding on to such weight will not only destroy you physically, but you will have to give an account for this on judgment day, so ask yourself this question is it worth it? The answer is NO!

May YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!

Choose LIFE or choose DEATH!

Saved by grace alone?  Are the commandments are done away with? Do all you have to do is a sinner’s prayer to be saved without being obedient to laws of the Torah? Is there a connection between keeping the Torah (the first five books of the Bible which are our Father YAHWEH’s guidelines and instructions) and life and death?

Many Christians today are walking in a false religion made up by men and think that they are walking in truth. They have twisted all of Paul’s letters to support a lawless doctrine by saying the commandments are done away with or just for the Jews! Even if Paul was hypothetically preaching a lawless doctrine he would need another witness outside of himself. Mathew 18:16 says “Out of the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.”  I have spoken on this topic many times that Paul was NOT a lawless man, but he did in fact keep the Sabbath and observed all of the Holy Days that many say are for the Jews! For further information on this please visit yeshuasavesall.com, click on the free store link and download the free article titled “Are Christians twisting Paul’s words to their own destruction?”

Have Christians chosen the broad path that leads to death and eternal torment? Instead of entering in through the narrow gate that YESHUA spoke of in Mathew 7:13? You have to ask yourself what is narrow or hard pressed about not being obedient to our Father YAHWEH, not sacrificing anything in this world, not dying to you flesh and desire, living in sin and doing whatever you want by breaking the commandments? Wouldn’t this qualify as the broad path that leads to destruction? We will examine scripture to see if keeping the commandments equates to life versus not keeping the commandments equating to death; also we will reveal that YESHUA is the Written Word that became Living Flesh. If you reject the Torah then you are indirectly rejecting YESHUA which is a dangerous thing to do.

Revelation 12:9

“And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old called the Devil and Satan, who leads ALL the world astray. He was thrown to the earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him.”

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

“For such are false emissaries, deceptive workers, masquerading as emissaries of Messiah. And no wonder! For Satan himself masquerades as a messenger of light! It is not surprising, then, if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.”

These are clear scriptures that show that Satan’s whole goal to destroy man-kind and lead the whole world astray. He appears an angel of light as if he is on your side to lead you to eternal life, but this is what we call deception! He doesn’t show up with devil horns and pitchfork, he has to approach you in a manner that you will accept. The whole point of being deceived is NOT KNOWING that you are deceived!  How does Satan do this? Through religion! There are over 51,000 different denominations of Christianity all created by men dating back as early as 1608 when he created the Baptist religion through John Smith. So my question is, YESHUA walked the earth over 2,000 years ago, how can anyone follow a religion created by a man 400 years ago? And many other religions came later in the 1800’s. Christians all over the world are part of a denomination each following its own version of the truth, all while neglecting the Torah, commandments, laws and decrees, the very Guidelines and instructions of our Father YAHWEH! Satan has convinced 99% of the world to reject the 7th Day Sabbath for worship of the SUN on SUN-day. Again, he has deceived many and sent them down the broad path of destruction through religion!

Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 11 that Satan can transform as a messenger of light and his servants masquerade as servants righteousness. How as he accomplished this? Satan has told Christians that they can break the commandments of YAHWEH by saying “There are for the Jews”, “They are saved by grace alone”, and all you have to do as say a “sinner’s prayer and you are saved.” By selling this lie to Christians he has told them that “they will not die for breaking the commandments” the same way he told Eve that “she would not die” for breaking the ONE commandment that He gave to Adam, and what happened when they disobeyed? Sin and death came into the world, and they were banished from the Garden of Eden. Satan is telling this exact same lie today to the masses, except this time he is telling it through the pulpit of churches and with false doctrine, and instead of being banished from the garden they will be banished from eternal life. The preachers that do this are masquerading as servants or righteousness.

The choice is yours to obey and live, or disobey and die!

From the very beginning a choice was given to man to choose life or death, and sadly many today are following in the footsteps of what happened to Adam.

Genesis 2:9

“And out of the ground YAHWEH ELOHIM made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food, with the TREE OF LIFE in the midst of the garden and the TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL. Verse 16 “And YAHWEH ELOHIM COMMANDED the man, saying, “Eat of every tree of the garden, but do not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for in the day that you eat of it you shall certainly die.”

We see two trees in the midst of the garden, one represents life and the other represents death. The same way we are also given a choice; and the tree of life is like YAHWEH’s Torah, which is His Son YESHUA who is Written Word that became Living Flesh; and the Tree of knowledge of Good and Evil is those who have chosen to be lawless and break the commandments! I want to be clear that we need the blood of YESHUA’s sacrifice to be washed clean and to be redeemed to our Father YAHWEH, but scripture clearly tells us that the commandments are how we know Him (1 John 2:2-4) and how we love Him (John 14:21).

Leviticus 18:5

“And you shall guard My Laws and My Right-Rulings, which a man does and LIVES BY THEM. I am YAHWEH.”

Ezekiel 20:20-21 (Parenthesis are my emphasis)

“And sanctify My Sabbaths, and they shall be a sign between Me and you, to know that I am YAHWEH your ELOHIM.” “But the children rebelled against Me (Just as 99% of the world has chosen to do today). They did not walk in My Laws, and My Right-Rulings they did not guard to do them, which, IF A MAN DOES, HE SHALL LIVE BY THEM. They profaned My Sabbaths, so I resolved to pour out My wrath on them to complete My displeasure against them in the wilderness.”

Deuteronomy 30:14-19 (Parenthesis are my emphasis)

“For the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart-to do it. “See, I have put before you today LIFE AND GOOD, and DEATH AND EVIL (Tree of Life and Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil), In that I am commanding you today to love YAHWEH your ELOHIM, to walk in His Ways, and to guard His Commands, and His Laws, and His Right-Rulings. And you SHALL LIVE and increase, and YAHWEH your ELOHIM shall bless you in the land which you go to possess.” Verse 19 “I have called the heavens and the earth as witnesses today against you: I have put before you LIFE AND DEATH, the blessing and the curse. There you shall CHOOSE LIFE, SO THAT YOU LIVE, both you and your seed.”

Sirach 15:10-20

“For praise shall be uttered in wisdom, and YAHWEH shall make it prosper. Do not say, “It is because of YAHWEH that I fell away.” For you ought NOT TO DO that which He hates. Do not say, “He has caused me to stray.” For He has no need of a sinful man. YAHWEH hates all abomination; and those who fear ELOHIM do not love it. He Himself made man from the beginning, and left him in the hand of his own counsel; so you shall guard the Commands, and act trustworthily. He has put fire and water before you; stretch out your hand to which you choose. LIFE AND DEATH is before man; and what he chooses shall be given him. For the wisdom of YAHWEH is great, and He is mighty in power, and sees all. And His eyes are upon those who fear Him, and He knows every work of man. He has commanded no man to do wickedly, neither has He given any man permission to sin.”

The book of Sirach says YAHWEH has not given any man permission to sin, and what is the definition of sin?

1 John 3:4

“Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness (or transgression of the law).” YAHWEH nor His Son YESHUA has given man permission to sin by being lawless and breaking the commandments He has given us to keep!

2 Esdras 7:125-129

“For while we lived and committed wickedness, we did not consider that we should begin to suffer for it after death.” Then He answered me, and said, “This is the condition of the battle, that man who is born upon the earth shall fight; that, if he is overcome, he shall suffer as you have said, but if he overcomes, he shall receive that which I say. For this is the life of which Moses spoke to the people while he lived, saying, ‘Choose life, that you may LIVE.” (Deuteronomy 30:15) Nevertheless they did not believe him, nor even the prophets after him, nor Myself who has spoken to them, that there should not be such grief in their destruction, as shall be the joy over those who are persuaded to salvation.”

Baruk 4:1-2 (Parenthesis are my emphasis)

“This is the Book of the Commands of ELOHIM, and the Law that endures FOREVER; all those who guard it shall attain LIFE (Those who obey the commandments), but those who leave it shall DIE (Those who say the commandments are done away with). Turn, O Jacob, and take hold of it; walk in the presence of IT’S LIGHT, that you may be illuminated.”

How does Scripture define light?

Proverbs 6:23

“For the Command is a lamp, and the TORAH A LIGHT.”

So going back to the scripture from Baruk we can read as: “This is the Book of the Commands of ELOHIM, and the Law that endures forever; all those who guard it shall attain LIFE, but those who leave it shall DIE. Turn, O Jacob, and take hold of it; walk in the presence of IT’S TORAH, that you may be illuminated.”

As we see that those who walk in the Light of The Torah shall live, but those who reject it as Christianity has done shall die. Walking in the Torah will illuminate your path on the narrow gate to eternal life. The following is from the 12 Patriarch’s which includes the final words to their sons before they passed away.

Testament of Levi 19:1

“And now, my children, you have heard all; CHOOSE, therefore, for yourselves either the LIGHT (TORAH) OR DARKNESS, either the TORAH OF YAHWEH or the works of Beliyya’al (wickedness or worthlessness).

Testament of Judah 26:1

“Therefore my children, guard ALL the TORAH OF YAHWEH, for there is hope for ALL them who hold fast to His ways.” Judah is letting us know that holiness and righteousness are the ways of YAHWEH and walking in His commandments is part of achieving that along with His Son YESHUA who IS the Word!

Testament of Issachar 5:1-2

“Therefore my children, guard the TORAH OF ELOHIM, and get singleness of heart…”

Testament of Issachar 6:1

“Therefore my children, know that in the last times your sons will forsake singleness of heart, and will cling to insatiable desire. And leaving innocence will draw near to malice. And forsaking the COMMANDS OF YAHWEH, they will cling to Beliyya’al.”

Testament of Zebulon 5:1

“And now, my children, I bid you to GUARD THE COMMAND OF YAHWEH, and to show kindness to your neighbors, and to have compassion towards all, not towards men only, but also towards beasts.”

Testament of Dan 5:1

“Therefore, my children GUARD THE COMMANDS OF YAHWEH, and guard His TORAH. Depart from anger, and hateful lying, that YAHWEH may dwell among you, and Beliyya’al may feel from you.”

Testament of Naphtali 2:6

“As a man’s strength, so also is his work; and as his mind, so also is his skill; and as his purpose, so also is his achievement; and as his heart, so also is his mouth; as his eye, so also is his sleep; as his being, so also is his word, either in the TORAH OF YAHWEH or in the works of Beliyya’al.”

Testament of Gad 3:1

“And now, my children, listen to the words of truth to work righteousness, and ALL the TORAH OF THE MOST HIGH, and go not astray through the spirit of hatred.”

Testament of Asher 6:1-3

“Therefore, my children, GUARD THE COMMANDS OF YAHWEH, following the TRUTH single-mindedly. For they that are double-minded are guilty of double sin; for they both do the evil thing, and they have pleasure in them that do it, following the example of the spirits of error, and striving against mankind. Therefore you, my children, GUARD THE TORAH OF YAHWEH, and do not pay attention to evil as to good; but look to the thing that is really good, and GUARD IT IN ALL THE COMMANDS OF YAHWEH.”

Asher said “do not pay attention to evil as to good.”  Which correlates with Isaiah 5:20 “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.”

Now remember we defined what Light is from Proverbs 6:23 as the Torah. So using this definition and plugging it in to Isaiah we can see that many put darkness (lawlessness) before light which is the Torah. Many say it’s a curse, legalistic, and bondage to keep the commandments which is a form of calling good evil!

Testament of Joseph 11:1

“Therefore my children, you also have the fear of ELOHIM in all your works before your eyes, and honor your brothers. For EVERYONE who DOES THE TORAH OF YAHWEH will be LOVED by Him.”

John 14:21

“He who possesses My Commands and guards (does) them, it is he who LOVES ME. And he who LOVES ME shall be LOVED by My Father, and I shall LOVE him and manifest Myself to him.”

Keeping the commandments is how we show our Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA that we LOVE THEM and when we do so He will LOVE us, so the Testament of Joseph agrees with what YESHUA said in John 14:21.

Testament of Benjamin 10:2-3

“And after he said these things, he said to them, “Therefore my children, know that I am dying. So do truth and righteousness each one to his neighbor, and judgment to confirmation and GUARD THE TORAH OF YAHWEH and His Commands.”

YESHUA is the Torah made flesh

YESHUA always declared who He was and many don’t catch it or choose to ignore it. So we will look scripture and break down some the words that He spoke to clarify this. YESHUA said in:

John 14:6

“YESHUA said to him, “I am THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

So how does Scripture define The Way, The Truth, and The Life?

THE WAY- Psalms 119:1 “Blessed are the perfect in THE WAY, who walk in the TORAH of YAHWEH.”

THE TRUTH- Psalms 119:142 “Your righteousness is righteousness forever, and Your TORAH IS TRUTH.”

THE LIFE- Proverbs 13:14 “The TORAH of the wise is a fountain of LIFE.”
                    Deuteronomy 32:46 “Lay your heart on all the words with which I warn you            today, so that you command your children to guard to do all the Words of this Torah. For it is not a worthless Word for you, because it is YOUR LIFE, and by this Word you prolong your days on the land which you pass over the Jordan to possess.”

Now, we can clearly see what YESHUA was saying when He said that He is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. He was saying that He is the Written Word that became Living Flesh. That He is the Living Torah, as all three that He mentioned, The Way, The Truth and the Life ALL point right back to the Torah. Another example is:

John 5:45-47

“Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, in whom you have put your expectation. For if you believed Moses, you would have believed Me since he wrote about Me. BUT IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE HIS WRITINGS (TORAH), HOW SHALL YOU BELIEVE MY WORDS?”

 Moses wrote the written Torah that 99% of the world has rejected saying that it is done away with, yet YESHUA is that exact same Torah made flesh. YESHUA is saying that you cannot believe His Words since He is the Living Torah if you don’t believe the written Torah by Moses because They are One and the same, it’s a package deal. How can you believe the Words of the Living Torah when you rejected the Words of the written Torah? You simply cannot! So when people say that the Torah is done away with, that means they have indirectly rejected YESHUA the very One that they claim to follow! Do you see the deception here? This has been Satan’s goal and why infiltrated the world with religion to lead them astray with false doctrines, and telling the same lie that leads to death just as he did to Adam and Eve.

 Revelation 12:17

“And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to fight with the remnant of her seed, those GUARDING THE COMMANDS OF YAHWEH AND POSSESSING THE WTINESS OF YESHUA HA’MASHAICH (the Anointed One).”

To put this in perspective Satan is only threatened by those who keep the commandments and believe in YESHUA which is faith and works because they are the obedient saints. If you are not doing both you are not a threat to him, because he is saying that you are a disobedient servant. Why wage war on them when they lawless just as Satan is?

I pray this is an eye opener to the world to walk in obedience by keeping the Commands of the TORAH and believing in YESHUA who is the Living Torah made flesh.

May YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!

YAHWEH can use you!

When you look at this world and how they view and measure success it’s always based on your physical attributes, education level, jobs, cars, money, house, and other worldly things. But our Father YAHWEH doesn’t base what you can do for Him off of any of those things, because He can use anyone to bring esteem to His Name! And most of the time in scripture YAHWEH will use the unexpected people, things, and impossible looking situations of this world to show His power, so that you cannot take the credit for what is being done by saying “it was my strength, my money, my army, my plan, my wisdom, my education, etc.”

So therefore, He can use you too, just make sure it’s not your will but His will! Some people will look down on a poor man and that poor man can be filled with the wisdom of ELOHIM and shame someone who thought they were wise! Why? Because YAHWEH can use anyone!

1 Corinthians 1:27-29

“But ELOHIM has chosen the foolish of the world to put to shame the wise, and ELOHIM has chosen the weak of the world to put to shame the strong. And ELOHIM has chosen the low-born of the world and the despised, and the ones that are not, that He might bring to naught the ones that are, so that NO FLESH should boast in His presence.”

As we see from the words of Paul is that YAHWEH chosen the unexpected so that no one can boast in their own power or wisdom as if they are the reason they were victorious. In this way, YAHWEH can make His power known to the entire world. Peter, Andrew, John and James were fisherman (Mathew 4:18-22) and we know the disciples went on to spread the gospel, baptize, and perform healings and cast out demons, Moses felt that he wasn’t good enough to speak and YAHWEH sent his brother Aaron with him to deliver His people out of  Egypt. Let, YAHWEH do His work through you by The RUACH Ha’ KODESH. Let’s look at some examples from scripture:

Judges 6:12-16

“And the Messenger of YAHWEH appeared to him (Gideon), and said to him, “YAHWEH is with you, you mighty brave one!” And Gideon said to Him, “O my master, if YAHWEH is with us, why has all this come upon us? And where are all His wonders which our ancestors related to us, saying, ‘Did not YAHWEH bring us up from Egypt?’ But now YAHWEH has left us and given us into the hands of Midian.” And YAHWEH said, “Go in this strength of yours, and you shall save Yisra’el from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?” And he said to Him, “O YAHWEH, with what do I save Yisra’el? See, my clan is THE WEAKEST IN MANASHSHEH (Manasseh), AND I AM THE LEAST IN MY DAD’S HOUSE.” And YAHWEH said to him, “Because I am with you, you shall smite the Midianites as ONE MAN.”

Gideon said his clan was the weakest in the tribe of Manashsheh and that he was the least in his dad’s house, yet YAHWEH used Him to deliver Yisra’el from the hand of the Midianites.

Judges 9:15-21

“And YAHWEH had revealed to Samuel in his ear the day before Saul came, saying, “At this time tomorrow I shall send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him leader over My people Yisra’el, and he shall save My people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have seen My people, because their cry has come to me.” And when Samuel saw Saul, YAHWEH said to him, “See the man of whom I spoke to you. Let this one govern My people.” And Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, “Please inform me, where is the house of the seer? And Samuel answered Saul and said, “I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today. And tomorrow I shall let you go and make known to you all that is in your heart. “As for you donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not lay your heart on them, for they have been found. And on whom is all the desire of Yisra’el? Is it not on you and on all your dad’s house? And Saul answered and said, “AM I NOT A BENJAMITE-OF THE SMALLEST OF THE TRIBES OF YISRA’EL, AND MY CLAN THE LEAST OF ALL THE CLANS OF THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN? WHY THEN DO YOU SPEAK, THIS TO ME?”

As we can see, Saul said the exact same thing that Gideon did about his clan being the smallest and the least of all the other clans, yet YAHWEH chose to reveal His power through them. YAHWEH could have chosen to use the largest and strongest clans instead He chose NOT to so that they could not boast in their own strength. An example of this was when Gideon’s army was cut from 32,000 to 300:

Judges 7:2-7

“And YAHWEH said to Gideon, “The people who are with you are too many for Me to give Midian into their hands, LEST YIRSRA’EL BOAST AGAINST ME, SAYING, ‘MY OWN HAND HAS SAVED ME.” And now, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, ‘Whoever is afraid and trembling, let him turn back, and leave Mount Gilead.” “And twenty-two thousand of the people turned back, while ten thousand remained. And YAHWEH said to Gideon, “The people are still too many. Bring them down to the water, and let Me prove them for you there. And it shall be, that of whom I say to you,’ let him go with you. And of whomever I say to you, ‘This one does not go with you,’ let him not go.” So he brought the people down to the water. And YAHWEH said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, separate him from everyone who bows down on his to drink.” And the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was three hundred men, and all the rest of the people bowed down on their knees to drink water. And YAHWEH said to Gideon, “By the THREE HUNDRED MEN who lapped I save you, and shall give Midian into your hand. Let all the other people go, each to his place.”

Again, YAHWEH could have used the whole 32,000 men He had at His disposal, but He doesn’t need the strength of men! He cut the army down to 300 to show His power and do the unexpected! He wants to display to the world that He can take the least of something and make it great by His power!

1 Maccabees 3:13-23

“Now when Seron, a prince of the army of Suria, heard that Judah had gathered a multitude to himself and an army of the trustworthy to go out with him to battle; he said, “I will make myself a name and reign in honor; for I will go fight with Judah and those that are with him, who despise the king’s command.” So he prepared to go up, and a mighty army of the wicked went with him to help him, and to be avenged on the children of Yisra’el. And when he came near to the ascent of Beyth Horon, Judah went out to meet him with a small army, who, when they saw the army coming to meet them, said to Judah, “How shall we be able, being so FEW, to fight against SO GREAT A MULTITUDE AND SO STRONG, seeing we are ready to faint from fasting all this day? Judah answered them, “It is no hard matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few; and with the ELOHIM of the heavens it is all the same-to deliver with A GREAT MULTITUDE, OR A SMALL COMPANY, for the overcoming of battle stands not in the multitude of an army; but STRENGTH COMES FROM THE HEAVENS. They come against us in great pride and wickedness to destroy us with our wives and children, and to plunder us, but we fight for our lives and our Laws. Therefore YAHWEH Himself will overthrow them before our face. And as for you, do not be afraid of them” Now as soon as he had ended speaking, he rushed upon them suddenly, and so Seron and his army was overthrown before him.”

Judah Maccabee and his army not only was smaller than the opposition, but they were also faint from fasting all day, and YAHWEH delivered them by His power and Judah already knew that He would. Seron of Samaria was not expecting to lose this battle, but again YAHWEH did the unexpected.

Even YESHUA came from the small tribe of Judah:

Micah 5:2

“But you, Beyth Lehem Ephrata, you are FEW to be reckoned among the THOUSANDS OF JUDAH, out of you shall Once come forth to Me, to be a ruler of Yisra’el; and His goings forth were from the beginning, even from eternity.”

Furthermore, YESHUA did not appear on earth how Yisra’el expected Him to come, yet He is the One who saved us from our sins. Yisra’el was expecting a superhero riding on a white horse to destroy the Romans to restore the nation of Yisra’el, instead they got a suffering servant who took away the sins of the world, which again proves that YAHWEH does the unexpected. YESHUA’s death was a win for the world and many still don’t understand this.

Isaiah 53:1-4 (Septuagint)

“O YAHWEH, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of YAHWEH been revealed? We brought a report as a child before Him; He is as a root in a thirsty land: He has NO FORM NOR COMELINESS; and we saw Him, but He had NOT FORM NOR BEAUTY. But His FORM was IGNOBLE (which means not honorable in character or purpose) and INFERIOR to that of the children of men; He was a Man in suffering, and acquainted with the bearing of sickness, for His face is turned from us: He was dishonored, and not esteemed.”

Again, YAHWEH did the opposite of what the world expects by sending YESHUA in a form that mankind didn’t accept, just as we have been outlining in this entire message. We know the world flocks to what they consider to be beautiful and I believe that fleshly response was part of the reason why YESHUA was rejected so scripture would be fulfilled.

1 Samuel16:6-7

“And it came to be, when they came, that he (Samuel) saw Eliyab and thought, “The anointed of YAHWEH is indeed before Him.” But YAHWEH said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have refused him, for not as man sees, for man looks at the eyes, but YAHWEH looks at the heart.”

And continuing on with this same chapter from Samuel we see that David who was the smallest and the youngest of 8 brothers was the one to become king. So again YAHWEH chose the unexpected to rule over His people.

1 Samuel 16:8-13

“Then Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, “Neither has YAHWEH chosen this one.” Next Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, “Neither has YAHEWH chosen this one.” And Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, “YAHWEH has not chosen these.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are these all the young men?” And he said, “There remains yet the YOUNGEST, and see, he is tending the sheep.” And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him, for we do not turn round till he comes here.” And he sent and brought him in. and he was tanned, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And YAHWEH said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is the one! And Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers. And the Spirit of YAHWEH came upon David from that day and onwards. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.”

And just how we see that David was the youngest and became king, so was Jacob younger than his brother Esau, and YAHWEH chose the seed of Jacob as a holy people unto Himself and established a covenant with him, and through him came the 12 Tribes of Yisra’el (12 Patriarchs).

Genesis 25:21-23

“And Isaac prayed to YAHWEH for his wife, because she was barren. And YAHWEH answered his prayer, and Rebecca his wife conceived. And within her the children struggled together, and she said, “If all is right, why am I this way? So she went to ask YAHWEH. And YAHWEH said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples shall be separated from your body. And one people shall be stronger than the other, and THE OLDER SERVE THE YOUNGER.”

Joseph was the second youngest out of 12 brothers, and his brothers hated him because Jacob their dad loved Joseph the most and because of his dreams that he had they would bow down to him. And even though his brothers were older and even had battle experience, YAHWEH chose the least expected one to become second in command to Pharaoh in Egypt.

Genesis 45:7-8

“And ELOHIM sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to give life to you by a great escape. So then, you did not send me here, but ELOHIM. And He has appointed me for a father to Pharaoh, and master of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.”

Finally, we know the account of David going against Goliath. All of the army of Yisra’el was afraid of them as grown men, but David the young man was not afraid because He knew that YAHWEH was with Him. So, again YAHWEH use the smallest and the youngest to fight against a giant and prevailed. This was very unexpected especially by Saul.

1 Samuel 17:32-50

“And David said to Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him, your servant is going and shall fight with this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, you are NOT ABLE to go against this Philistine to fight with him, FOR YOU ARE BUT A YOUTH, and he a man of battle from his youth.” Then David said to Saul, “Your servant has been tending sheep for his father, and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock, I went out after it and smote it, and rescued from its mouth. And when it rose against me, I took hold of its beard, and smote it and killed. Your servant has smitten both lion and bear. And this uncircumcised Philistine shall be like one of them, seeing he has reproached the armies of the living ELOHIM. And David said, “YAHWEH, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He delivers me from the hand of this Philistine.” And Saul said to David, “Go, and YAHWEH be with you!” Verse 49-51 “And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone, and slung it and smote the Philistine on his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the ground. Thus David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and smote the Philistine and killed him, and there was no sword in the hand of David.”

So if the world makes you think you are too young or aren’t talented enough, tall enough, strong enough, smart enough, educated enough, rich enough, and not popular, take courage and know that if the world thinks poorly of you; that YAHWEH thinks highly of you, and wants to work through you. Even, if you have young children, continue to raise them up to follow YESHUA and keep the commandments because you don’t know what that child will become and how YAHWEH will use them for His purpose.

All of those mentioned above submitted to the will of YAHWEH and they were vessels that could be used, and as we have seen throughout scripture that YAHWEH will take the unexpected things of this world and do great things through them to bring esteem to His Name! So let YAHWEH do the same thing for you in your life today.

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

Were books removed to Hide YESHUA?

If you are currently reading the King James Bible, then some questions should arise. For example if the original 1611 King James Bible included the Apocrypha then why are you not reading the books it contained? And if they removed those books then what other books are they hiding from you? One thing for sure is that the 66 book canon that the world has accepted is not all of YAHWEH’s word. A book like 2 Esdras goes into great detail about eternal torment and flames for those who do not make it into the kingdom and have rejected YAHWEH’s ways, which would fly in the face of what Christianity is taught today.

I want to focus on the prophecies of YESHUA that are in these removed books that should give more evidence why these books should be read and included as Canon. I’ll read books from the Apocrypha and the Dead Sea scrolls and include some parallels from the 66 Books to prove again that YESHUA is our Savior, He was here from the beginning, He is The Son of YAHWEH, and that these books should be read. And ELOHIM willing soon I want to do a study of parallels with the 66 books with the Apocrypha.

The Book of Hanok (Enoch)

Enoch 1:1-2

“And he took up his parable and said, “Enoch a righteous man, whose eyes were opened by ELOHIM, saw the vision of the Holy One (YESHUA) in the heavens, which the messengers (angels) showed me. And from them I heard all matters, and from them I understood as I saw, but not for this generation, but for a DISTANT one which is to come.” End time prophecies who saw the end from the beginning.

The following scriptures from Enoch calls YESHUA the ELECT ONE which is the same as saying CHOSEN ONE OR ANNOINTED ONE as we will see first in Isaiah:

Isaiah 42:1-8

“See, My Servant whom I uphold, My CHOSEN ONE (YESHUA), My being has delighted in! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He brings forth Right-Ruling to the nations. He does not cry out, nor lift up, nor causes His voice to be heard in the street. A crushed reed He does not break, and smoking flax He does not quench. He brings forth Right-Ruling in accordance with truth. He does not become weak or crushed, until He has established Right-Ruling in the earth. And the coastlands wait for His Torah.” Thus said the EL, YAHWEH, who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it, ,who gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to those who walk on it: I, YAHWEH, have called You (YESHUA) in righteousness, and I take hold of Your hand and guard You, and give You for a Covenant to a people, for a Light to the gentiles (Luke 2:32) to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the prison, those who sit in darkness from the prison house.”

Enoch 39:3-6

“And in those days a whirlwind carried me off from the earth, and put me down at the end of the heavens. And there I saw another vision, the dwelling-places of the holy, and the resting-places of the righteous. Here my eyes saw their dwellings with His righteous messengers, and their resting-places with the holy. And they petitioned and interceded and prayed for the children of men, and righteousness flowed before them as water, and compassion like dew upon the earth. And so it is amongst them forever and ever. And in that place my eyes saw the ELECT ONE (YESHUA) of righteousness and of belief, and I saw his dwelling-place under the wings of YAHWEH of hosts. And righteousness shall prevail in His days, and the righteous and elect shall be without number before Him forever and ever.”

Enoch 45:1-6

“And this is the second Parable concerning those who deny the Name of the dwelling of the saints and YAHWEH of hosts. And into the heavens they shall not ascend, and on the earth they shall not come. Such shall be the lot of the sinners who have denied the Name of YAHWEH of hosts, who are thus preserved for the day of suffering and tribulation. On that day My ELECT ONE (YESHUA) shall sit on the throne of esteem and shall try their works, and their places of rest shall be innumerable. And their beings shall grow strong within them when they see My elect ones, and those who have called upon My magnificent Name. Then will I cause My ELECT ONE to dwell among them, and I will transform the heavens and make it an eternal blessing and light. And I will transform the earth and make it a blessing, and I will cause My elect ones to dwell upon it (New Jerusalem), but the sinners and evil-doers shall not place a foot upon it. For I have provided and satisfied with peace My righteous ones and have caused them to dwell before Me. But for the sinners, there is judgment impending with Me, so that I shall destroy them from the face of the earth.”

Enoch 46:1-3

“And there I saw One who had a Head of Days (YAHWEH), and His head was white like wool (Daniel 7:9 same description of YAHWEH’s hair), and with Him was another Being whose face had the appearance of a man, and His face was full of favor (YESHUA), like one of the holy messengers (angels). And I asked the messenger who went with me and showed me all the hidden matters, concerning the SON OF MAN, who He was, and where he was, why He went with the Head of Days (YAHWEH). And he answered and said to me, this is the SON OF MAN who has righteousness, with whom dwelt righteousness, and who revealed all the treasures of that which is hidden, because YAHWEH of hosts has CHOSEN HIM, and whose lot has the preeminence before YAHWEH of hosts in uprightness forever.”

Enoch 48:2-6

“And at that hour the SON OF MAN was Named in the presence of YAHWEH of hosts, and His Name before the Head of Days. Even before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of the heavens were made, His Name was named before YAHWEH of hosts. He shall be a staff to the righteous to brace themselves upon and not fall, and He shall be the light of the nations, and the hope of those who are troubled in heart. All who dwell on the earth shall fall down and WORSHIP before Him, and will praise and bless and celebrate YAHWEH of hosts with song. And for this He has been chosen and hidden before Him, BEFORE THE CREATION OF THE WORLD and for eternity.” This scripture from Enoch confirms a scripture that we all know:

John 1:1-2

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with ELOHIM, and the Word was ELOHIM. He was in the beginning with ELOHIM.”

Enoch 49:1-4

“For wisdom is poured out like water, and esteem failed not before Him for eternity. For He is mighty in all secrets of righteousness, and unrighteousness shall disappear as a shadow, and have no continuance; because the ELECT ONE stands before YAHWEH of hosts, and His esteem is forever and ever, and His might unto all generations. And in Him dwells the spirit of wisdom, and the spirit which gives insight, and the spirit of understanding and of might, and the spirit of those who have fallen asleep in righteousness. And He shall judge the secret matters, and none shall be able to utter a lying word before Him; for He is the ELECT ONE before YAHWEH of hosts according to His good pleasure.”

Baruk (The scribe for Jeremiah)

Baruk 3:32-37

“But He who knows all knows her, and has found her with His understanding; He who prepared the earth forever has filled it with four-footed beasts; He who sends forth light, and it goes, calls it again, and it obeys Him with reverence. The stars shone in their watches, and rejoiced; when He calls them, they say, “Here we are.” And so with gladness they showed light unto He who made them. This our ELOHIM, and there is no other be counted in comparison of Him! He has found all the way of knowledge, and has given it unto Jacob His servant, and to Yisra’el His beloved. Afterward HE SHOWED HIMSELF ON THE EARTH, AND CONVERSED WITH MEN.”

John 1:10-11

“He was in the world, and the world came to be THROUGH HIM, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.”

YAHWEH and YESHUA are One! And we know that YESHUA is ELOHIM The Son who came in the flesh, pitched His tent, dwelt with us and conversed with men. Especially knowing that no one has ever seen the Father YAHWEH at any time.

2 Esdras (4TH Ezra)

2 Esdras 2:42-48

“I Ezra saw upon Mount Zion a great people whom I could not number, and they all praised YAHWEH with songs. And in the midst of them there was a young Man of tall stature-taller than all the rest; and upon every one of their heads He placed crowns, and was more exalted; at which I marveled at greatly. So I asked the messenger (angel), and said, “master, who are these?” He answered and said to me, “These are those who have put off the mortal garments, and put on the immortal, and have confessed the Name of ELOHIM; now they are crowned, and receive palms. Then I said to the messenger, “What young Man is this who crowns them, and gives them palms in their hands?” So he answered and said to me, “it is the SON OF ELOHIM, whom they have confessed in the world.” Then I began to greatly commend those who stood so steadfastly for the Name of YAHWEH.”

2 Esdras 5:4-6

“But if the Most High grants you to live, you shall see after the third trumpet that the sun shall suddenly shine again in the night, and a third of the moon in that day. And blood shall drip from wood, and the stone shall give its cry, and the people shall be troubled; and ONE shall rule, whom those who dwell the earth do not expect, and the birds shall take flight away together.”

This unbelieving world does not believe in YESHUA and He is the One who shall rule on earth for 1,000 years whom those on the earth do not expect. By that time it will already be too late.

2 Esdras 6:11-30

“Then I answered and said, “O YAHWEH who reigns, if I have found favor in your sight, please show Your servant the end of your signs, of which You showed me in part the last night.” So He answered and said to me, “Stand up on your feet, and hear a mighty sounding voice. And there shall be a great shaking; but the place where you stand shall not be moved. And so, when it sounds do not be afraid; for the word is of the end, and the foundation of the earth understands. ‘And why? Because the sound of these trembles and is moved; for it knows that the end of these must be changed.” And it came to be, that when I heard it I stood up on my feet, and listened, and see, there was a voice that spoke, and the sound of it was like the SOUND OF MANY WATERS.”

Revelation 1:13-15

“And in the midst of the seven lamp-stands One like the Son of Man, dressed in a robe down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. And His head and hair were white as white as wool, as snow, and His eyes as a flame of fire, and His feet like burnished brass, as if refined in a furnace, and HIS VOICE AS THE SOUND OF MANY WATERS.”

Verse 18 (2 Esdras continued) And it said, “See the days come, that I shall begin to draw near, and to visit those who dwell upon the earth, and shall begin to make inquiry of them, what harm they have done unrighteously with their wickedness, and when the affliction of Zion shall be complete; and when the world, that shall begin to vanish away, is finished, then I shall show these signs: The Books shall be opened before the expanse and they all shall see together. And children a year old shall speak with their voices, the women with child shall bring forth children prematurely of three or four months old, and they shall live, and be raised up. And suddenly the sown places shall appear unsown, the full storehouses shall suddenly be found empty; and the trumpet shall give a sound, which when every man hears, they shall be suddenly afraid. At that time friends shall fight against one another as enemies, and the earth shall stand in fear with those who dwell in it; the springs of the fountains shall stand still, and in three hours they shall not flow. Whoever remains from all these that I have told you shall escape, and see MY deliverance, and the end of your world. And those who are received shall see it, who have not tasted death from their birth; and the heart of inhabitants shall be changed, and turned into another spirit. For evil shall be blotted out, and deception shall be quenched. As for belief, it shall flourish; corruption shall be overcome, and the truth, which has been so long without fruit, shall be declared. And when He talked with me, see, I looked little by little upon Him before whom I stood. And these words He said to me, “I have come to show you the time of the night to come.”

2 Esdras 7:28-29

“For My SON YESHUA shall be revealed with those who are with Him, and those who remain shall rejoice within four hundred years. After these years ha’Mashiach (Messiah) My Son shall die, and all men who have life.”

2 Esdras 12:31-34

“And the LION (We know YESHUA is the Roaring Lion of Judah), whom you saw rising up out of the forest ROARING, and speaking to the eagle, and rebuking it for its unrighteousness with all the words which you have heard; This is ha’Mashiach (Messiah), whom the Most High as kept for them and for their wickedness unto the end; He shall reprove them, and shall reproach them for their cruelty. For He shall stand them before Him alive in judgment, and shall rebuke them, and reprove them. For He shall deliver the rest of My people with kindness-those who have been scattered from My borders, and He shall make them joyful until the coming of the Day of Judgment, of which I have spoken to you from the beginning.”

Revelation 5:4-5

“And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read the scroll, or to look at it. And one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. See, the Lion of tribe of Judah, the Root of David, overcame to open the scroll and to loosen its seven seals.”

2 Esdras 13:25-38

“This is the meaning of the vision: When you saw a Man coming up from the midst of the sea; He is the One whom ELOHIM the Most High has kept for a long time whom by Himself shall deliver His creation; and He shall lead those who are left behind. And when you saw, that a blast of wind and fire and storm came out of His mouth; and that He held neither sword, nor any weapon of battle, but that His rushing in destroyed the whole crowd that came to overcome Him; this is the interpretation: “See the days are coming, when the Most High shall begin to deliver those who are on the earth. And those who dwell on the earth shall be astonished at His coming. And one shall begin to fight against another, one city against another, one place against another, one people against another, and one reign against another. And the time shall be when these come to pass, and the signs take place which I showed you before, and then My SON shall be declared, whom you saw as a Man ascending. And when all the people hear His voice, every man in their own land shall leave the battle they have against one another, and an innumerable crowd shall gather together, as you saw them, coming with desire to overcome Him in battle. But He shall stand on the top of Mount Zion, and Zion shall come, and shall be shown to all men, being prepared and built, as you saw the mountain carved without hands. And He, My SON  shall rebuke the wicked deeds of those nations, who have fallen into the storm for their wicked life; and shall lay their evil thoughts before them, and the torture with which they shall begin to be tortured, which are like flames; and He shall destroy those without WORKS BY THE LAW which I comparable to Me.”

2 Esdras 13:51-52

“Then I said, “O YAHWEH who reigns, show me this: Why have I seen the Man coming up from the midst of the sea? And He said to me, “As you could neither seek out nor know that which is in the depths of the sea; even so no man on earth shall see My SON, or those who are with him, but in His time of day.”

2 Esdras 14:6-9

“These words you shall declare, and these you shall hide. And now I say to you: “Lay up on your heart the signs that I have shown, and the dreams that you have seen, and the interpretations which you have heard; for you shall be taken away from all and from now on you shall remain with my SON, and with those who are like you, until the times are ended.”

Sirach

Sirach 4:10

“Be as a dad to the dad less, and like husband to their mother; so you shall be AS the SON of the Most High, and He shall love you more than your mother does.”

Testament of Levi

Testament of Levi 2:10-11

“And when you have ascended there, you will stand near YAHWEH, and will be His minister. And you will declare His mysteries to men, and will proclaim CONCERNING HIM THAT WILL REDEEM YISRA’EL (YESHUA). And by you and Judah will YAHWEH appear among men, saving every race of men.”

Testament of Levi 8:11-14

“And they said to me, “Levi, your seed will be divided into three branches, for a sign of the esteem of YAHWEH who is to come. And the first portion will be great; yes, none will be greater than it. The second will be in the priesthood. And the third will be called by a RENEWED name, because a King will arise in Yehudah (Judah), and will establish a NEW Priesthood, after the fashion of the nations to all the nations. And His presence is beloved, as a prophet (Deuteronomy 18:18) of the Most High, of the seed of Abraham our ancestor.”

This is another prophecy of YESHUA which ties to Hebrews 7 that YESHUA rose from the tribe of Judah, a tribe which Moses never spoke of concerning the altar to perform the slaughter offerings, burning incense all the other functions because this role was reserved for the Levites. Therefore, there had to be a change in the Priesthood (As Testament of Levi says a Renewed name and New Priesthood). So even The Testament of Levi confirms that YESHUA would be a King/Priest. The only other king/priest in scripture was Malkitsedeq the priest of The Most High and King of Salem, which is why YESHUA is Priest according to the order of Malkitsedeq.

Genesis 14:18

“And Malkitsedeq king of Salem brought out bread and wine. Now he was the priest of the Most High EL.”

Zechariah 6:12-13

“And shall speak to him, saying, ‘Thus said YAHWEH of hosts, saying, “See, the Man whose name is the BRANCH! And from His place He shall BRANCH out, and He shall build the Temple of YAHWEH. It is He (YESHUA) who is going to build the Temple of YAHWEH. It is He who is going to bear the splendor. And He shall sit and rule of His throne (KING), and shall be a PRIEST on His throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between Them both.”

Testament of Judah

Testament of Judah 24:1-6

“And after thee things will a STAR ARISE to you from Jacob in peace like the sun of righteousness, WALKING WITH THE SONS OF MEN IN HUMILITY AND RIGHTEOUSNESS. And no SIN WILL BE FOUND IN HIM.”

I will list scriptures that correlate with what we read from Testament of Judah about the Star arising from Jacob, walking with the sons of men in humility and Him knowing no sin. This correlates with:

 Numbers 24:17 (Septuagint) which says

“I will point to Him, but not now; I bless Him but He draws not near: A STAR SHALL RISE OUT OF JACOB, a Man shall spring out of Yisra’el….”

And the portion explaining that YESHUA would walk with the sons of men in humility is similar to Philippians 2:5-8 (The portion in parenthesis is my emphasis)

“For, let this mind be in you which was also in Messiah YESHUA, who, being in the form of ELOHIM, did not regard equality with ELOHIM a matter to be grasped (humbled Himself knowing He was ELOHIM the Son to become a man a matter we can’t grasp), but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, and came to be in the likeness of men. And having been found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, death even of a stake.”

And the portion explaining that no sin would be found in Him:

Isaiah 53:5-9

“But He was pierced for OUR transgressions, He was crushed for OUR wickedness’s. 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 YAHWEH has laid on Him the wickedness’s of us all. “Verse 9 “And He was appointed a grave with the wicked, and with the rich at His death, because He had done no violence, nor was deceit in His mouth.”

Romans 5:21

“For He (YAHWEH) made Him (YESHUA) who KNEW NO SIN to be SIN FOR US, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of ELOHIM.”

Testament of Judah continued verses 2-6 “The heavens will be open to Him, to pour out the spirit, even the blessing of the Set-apart Father. And He will pour out the spirit of favor upon you. And you will be sons to Him in truth, and you will walk in His commands first and last. Then the scepter of my kingdom will shine forth; and from your root will arise a stem. And from it will grow a rod of righteousness to the nations to judge and to save all that call upon YAHWEH.”

Testament of Judah mentions walking in His commands which is found in:

John 15:10

“If you guard My Commands, you shall stay in My love, even as I have guarded My Father’s Commands and stay in His love.”

Jubilees

Jubilees 16:26

“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 for the everlasting generations, and from him HOLY SEED, so that it should become like HIM WHO MADE ALL MATTERS.”

The Branch of Righteousness and The Holy Seed is YESHUA who would become like Him who created all matters who is YAHWEH and we know that YAHWEH and YESHUA are One.

Jubilees 21:23-24

“Turn away from all their deeds and all their uncleanness, and observe the Law of the Most High EL, and do His desire and be upright in all matters. And He shall bless you in all your deeds, and shall raise up from you the BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS through all the earth, throughout all generations of the earth, and my name (Abraham) and your name (Jacob) shall not be forgotten under the heavens forever.”

Jeremiah 33:14-16

“See the days are coming,’ declares YAHWEH, ‘when I shall establish the good word which I have promised to the house of Yisra’el and to the house of Judah: ‘In those days and at that time I cause a BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS to spring forth for David. And He shall do right-ruling and righteousness in the earth. ‘In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem dwell in safety. And this is that which shall be proclaimed to her: YAHWEH our Righteousness.’

Prayer of Azariah (Abednego)

Prayer of Azariah 1:26

“But the Messenger of YAHWEH came down into the oven together with Azariah and his friends, and smote the flame of the fire out of the oven, and made the middle of the furnace as though it were a moist whistling wind, so that the fire did not touch them at all, neither harmed them or troubled them.”

Daniel 3:25

“He answered and said, “Look! I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire. And they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of Elah.” And Elah is Arabic for ELOHIM. YESHUA was there in Daniel’s day protecting them from the fire of the furnace.

As we can see the evidence is overwhelming from more than one witness from these books that were removed that YAHWEH has a Son and His Name is YESHUA and He was here from the beginning. YESHUA is our Savior and no one is saved without Him. I pray this has opened your eyes to start reading the books that were removed from scripture to find out the things that have been hidden from you.

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

Salvation is NOT just for Black Hebrew Israelites!

Disclaimer: I realize that not all the sects of The Black Hebrew Israelite movement have the belief that all Caucasians are the devil and that they don’t have a chance at salvation, so this doesn’t apply to you. This message is for those who believe that salvation is only limited to them. So we will be addressing if Scripture supports this belief that Caucasians and many are races don’t have a chance to make it into the kingdom and also defining who an Edomite really is. I pray you watch or this this in its entirety before coming based off the title alone, because this is a serious issue.

 I have seen many within this racist movement discourage other believers and make them feel like they aren’t worthy and that they have no hope in our wonderful Messiah YESHUA, and I this is a dangerous thing to do. It saw a very disturbing to video of this movement condemning white people and Ethiopians who were preaching the gospel and running them off of the corner. What if this kind of behavior discourages them from every preaching the gospel again?

Titus 3:9

“But keep away from foolish questions, and GENEOALGIES, and strife and quarrels about the Torah, for they are unprofitable and useless.”

Yet, many of them will ask people what tribe of you from? And if they aren’t black they will say “You aren’t Yisra’el and have no chance to make it into the Kingdom”. This is why Paul wrote this because he understood that your bloodline will not save you. Due to Yisra’els disobedience to His Commands He brought salvation to the gentiles as well.

Deuteronomy 32:21

“They have provoked Me to jealousy with that which is not ELOHIM, they have exasperated Me with their idols; and I will provoke them to jealousy with them that are no nation, I will anger them with a nation void of understanding (gentiles).”

Salvation is for anyone who keeps the commands of YAHWEH and believes in His Son YESHUA as we see the criteria written in Revelation 14:12:

Revelation 14:12

“Here is the endurance of the saints, here are THOSE (anyone) guarding the Commands of YAHWEH and belief of YESHUA.”

And John the Baptist understood this as well:

Mathew 3:7-10

“And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his immersion, he said to them, “Brood of adders! Who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Bear, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance, and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father.’ For I say to you that ELOHIM is able to raise up children of Abraham from these stones.”

John the Baptist told the Pharisees that it did not matter that they were the children of Abraham by blood if they did not bear fruits worthy of repentance, because ELOHIM could raise up the seed of Abraham from stones, and He did by allowing the gentiles to be grafted into the nation of Yisra’el.

Acts 10:9-15

“And on the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour. And he became hungry and wanted to eat. But while they were preparing, he fell into a trance and he saw the heavens opened and a certain vessel like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth, in which were all kinds of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping creatures, and the birds of the heavens. And a voice came to him, “Rise up Peter, slay and eat.” But Peter said, “Not at all, My Master! Because I have never eaten whatever is common or unclean.” And a voice came to him again the second time, “What ELOHIM has cleansed you do not consider common.” Verse 28 And he said to them, “You know that a Jew is not allowed to associate with, or go to one of another race. But ELOHIM has shown me that I should not call any man COMMON OR UNCLEAN.”

So here is a clear picture of a vision that YESHUA gave to Peter that the gentiles are to receive salvation along with the Jews and to not call a man that He has created common or unclean. So the question is, why is this Hebrew movement calling others common or unclean, which YESHUA clearly said NOT to do?

Salvation for ALL

Testament of Levi 2:9-12 (12 Patriarchs)

“And I said to the messenger, ‘Why is it like this? And the messenger said to me, ‘Do not marvel at this, for you will see another heaven more brilliant and incomparable. And when you have ascended there, you will stand near YAHWEH, and will be His minister. And you will declare His mysteries to men, and will proclaim concerning Him that will redeem Yisra’el. And by you and Judah will YAHWEH appear among men, SAVING EVERY RACE OF MEN.”

This is a clear prophecy that YESHUA would come to die and bring salvation for every race of men, not just the black race. But that’s not all there is plenty of evidence to support this.

Acts 10:34-35

“And opening his mouth, Peter said, “Truly I see that ELOHIM shows NO PARTIALITY, but in EVERY NATION, he who reverse Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.”

Peter says ELOHIM does not show favoritism towards the native-born, but in ANY NATION, as long as you fear YAHWEH and keep His commandments then you are accepted by Him.

Revelation 7:9-10

“After this I looked and saw a great crowd which no one was able to count, out of ALL NATIONS AND TRIBES AND PEOPLES AND TONGUES, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, and palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Deliverance belongs to our ELOHIM who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Again, we see a clear picture of ALL nations, tribes, and languages that have overcome the tribulation standing before YAHWEH and YESHUA, which agrees with The Testament of Levi and Peter. This scripture doesn’t say the Caucasian is excluded from this at all, and it doesn’t say that only black people are in the presence of our ELOHIM! We clearly see EVERY NATION!

2 Esdras 2:34-35

“And therefore I say unto you, “O you GENTILES that hear and understand, look for your Shepherd (YESHUA), He shall give you everlasting rest, for He is near at hand, who shall come at the end of the world. Be ready for the reward of the reign, for the everlasting light shall shine upon you forever.”

We see this scripture plainly says the gentiles who are grafted in need to look for The Shepherd and that He would give them rest and be ready for the reward of the reign which is everlasting life. This scripture ties in with what YESHUA said in John:

John 10:16

“And other sheep I have which are not of this fold (gentiles)-I have to bring them as well, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock and one Shepherd.”

Exodus 12:37

“And the children of Yisra’el departed from Ramses to Sukkot about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides the little ones. And a MIXED MULTITUDE WENT WITH THEM TOO, also flocks and herds, very much livestock.”

We see that when Yisra’el left Egypt that a mixed multitude of gentiles went with them, which would mean that when the 10 commandments were given at Mount Sinai that the native-born Yisra’elites and the gentiles were standing together to hear the words. Yes, they have been grafted in since the beginning.

Romans 11:24

“For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more shall these who are the natural, be grafted into their own olive tree? For I do not want you to be ignorant of this secret, brothers, lest you should be wise in your own estimation, that hardening in part has come over Yisra’el, until the completeness of the gentiles has come in. Verse 32 For ELOHIM has shut them all up in disobedience in order to have compassion on ALL.”

Ephesians 2:17-20

“And having come, He brought as Good News peace to you who were far off (gentiles), and peace to those near. Because through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. So then you are NO LONGER STRANGERS AND FOREIGNERS, but FELLOW CITIZENS with the saints and MEMBERS OF THE HOUSEHOHLD OF ELOHIM, having been built upon the foundation of the emissaries and prophets, YESHUA ha’Mashiach Himself being chief cornerstone…”

Do you see the correlation? In both scriptures YESHUA is referred to as a Shepherd that will lead the gentiles; and YESHUA tells us that there will be one flock (one faith) and one Shepherd (which is YESHUA leading and guiding the flock of native-born and gentiles grafted in as one.)

Exodus 12:48 (Septuagint)

“And if any proselyte (a person who has converted from one religion to another) comes to you to keep the Passover to YAHWEH, you shall circumcise every male of his and then he shall approach to sacrifice it and he shall BE EVEN AS THE ORIGINAL INHABITANT OF THE LAND (native-born); no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.”

Deuteronomy 29:10-15

“All of you are standing today before YAHWEH your ELOHIM: your leaders, your tribes, your elders and your officers, all the men of Yisra’el, your little ones, your wives, and your SOJOURNER who is in the midst of your camp, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water, so that you should enter into Covenant with YAHWEH your ELOHIM makes with you today, in order to establish you today as a people for Himself, and He Himself be your ELOHIM, as He has spoken to you, as He has sworn to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”

As we see Moses was talking to the native-born and sojourning gentiles who were in the midst of the camp when YAHWEH made a Covenant with them all. The first thing Moses said is “All of you are standing before YAHWEH”

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.”

All Caucasians going to hell?

So firstly, let us address the fact that they claim that all Caucasians are going to hell. The main crutch of their belief is that they call Caucasians “Edomites” saying that they are descendants of Esaw and they will quote the following scripture:

Genesis 25:25

“And the first came out reddish all over, like a hairy garment, so they called his name Esaw.”

So we Esaw was red and hairy which is how he received his name and there is no mention of the word Edomite until we go down to verse 30 of the same chapter which says:

Genesis 25:29-30

“And Jacob cooked a stew, and Esaw came in from the field, and he was weary. And Esaw said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” THAT IS WHY HIS NAME WAS CALLED EDOM.”

Esaw was called Edom due to the red stew that he ate and despised his birthright AND NOT because of the color of his skin and the Book of Jubilees confirms this:

Jubilees 24:5-6

“And Jacob said, “Swear to me today,” and he swore to him. And Jacob gave his brother Esaw bread and soup, and he ate until he was satisfied, and Esaw despised his birthright; FOR THIS REASON ESAW’S NAME WAS CALLED EDOM, ON THE ACCOUNT OF THE RED SOUP WHICH JACOB GAVE HIM FOR HIS BIRTHRIGHT.”

So after reading the scripture in context the whole doctrine of a white man being Edom based off the color of his skin is false. We can see this scripture had nothing to do with race but food; and that Esaw despised his birthright that is why he was called an Edomite.

Deuteronomy 23:7

“Do not LOATHE AN EDOMITE, for HE IS YOUR BROTHER. Do not loathe an Egyptian, because you were a stranger in his land.”

That means they are doing the opposite of what YAHWEH told them to do by loathing their brother. Furthermore, how did YESHUA define a brother or sister?

Mathew 12:50

“For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”

So how can any racist Hebrew Israelite disqualify a Caucasian man or woman who is doing the will of YAHWEH who is considered a brother or sister?

 And since they say the Edomites are white and cursed, then why does YAHWEH call the Edomites their brother? So even if the Hebrews are black, then that means Esaw is a different shade of black like being light skinned for example, because Jacob and Esaw are blood brothers, so it doesn’t make sense that one brother would be born white and the other clinging to his heal would be black. The Black race has many shades of black one can be light skinned and the other can be a darker brown within the same family. Furthermore, how does YESHUA define a brother?

Can you be racist and enter into the Kingdom?

In scripture racism did not exist, man created it. People in scripture were known by their tribes or nation and not the color of their skin. They were called Yisra’elites, Ammonites, Moabites, Philistines or that is “David son of Jessie etc.” Our Father YAHWEH and His Son are not racist; therefore, no man on this earth should be.

The Oxford English Dictionary (2nd edition, 1989) defines racism as “belief in the superiority of a particular race.” And we know that those that are racist have a hate and disgust for the race they are directing it towards because they feel like they are better than the other. Look no further than the KKK as a clear example for this. Racism is hatred, and hatred is an act of the flesh, and the flesh will not inherit the reign of ELOHIM as Paul quotes:

Galatians 5:19-21

“And the works of the FLESH are well-known, which are: adultery, whoring, uncleanness, indecency, idolatry, drug sorcery, HATRED, QUARRELS, jealousies, fits of rage, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy, murders, drunkenness, wild parties, and the like- of which I forewarn you, even as I also said before, that those who practice such as these SHALL NOT INHERIT THE REIGN OF ELOHIM.”

We see Paul lists hatred as an act of the flesh which racism qualifies as; and further he says “quarrels” which is a heated argument or debate as well. You can pull up videos and see them quarreling with others and provoking others that are not of their race telling them they are going to hell. Neither one of these actions they are doing are considered righteous.

Romans 5:18-19

“So then, as through one trespass there resulted condemnation to ALL MEN, so also through one righteous act there resulted righteous declaring of life to all men. For as through the disobedience of one many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One many shall be made righteous.”

Paul says that the trespass of Adam brought condemnation to ALL MEN not some men, meaning that other nations of people had to be included into this group. Paul does not say that Adam’s transgression brought condemnation to “all black men”. The entire human race was made sinners but through the blood of YESHUA we all were redeemed.

Acts 17:26

“And He had made from ONE blood EVERY NATION of MEN to dwell on all the face of the earth, having ordained beforehand the times and boundaries of their dwelling…”

We are all descendants of Adam as YAHWEH has man all men from one blood, therefore there is no race but the HUMAN RACE. Repent and let the truth of the scriptures speak and realize that YAHWEH shows no partiality! Any nation, tribe, or language of people including Caucasians can be saved as long as they keep the commandments of YAHWEH and believe in His Son YESHUA!

Revelation 14:12

“Here is the endurance of the saints, here are those guarding the Commands of YAHWEH and belief of YESHUA.”

I plead with anyone who is involved with this movement to think about the soul that was lost by condemning them; when we are called to help win souls by bringing to them into the knowledge of the truth of our Savior YESHUA. If that person goes home and gets discouraged over thinking they have no hope at eternal life and they commit suicide, then that is a life that you will be held accountable for. Let the love of YESHUA speak and let the racism go and love your neighbor as yourself.

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

GET OUT OF THE WORLD!

My fellow brothers and sisters we do not belong to this world because YESHUA has called us out to be separate from the world. We live in the world but we are not supposed to be a part of the world. It’s time for followers of YESHUA to realize that we are sojourners which means a temporary stay, pilgrims, strangers, and aliens in this present life and will not be accepted by those who are of the world. Don’t seek acceptance from men but seek acceptance from our Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA!

Life on this earth is temporary and the sooner you recognize that this world is not our permanent home the better off you will be. Embrace and accept the fact that you will be rejected friends, coworkers even by family members who think that following our Father YAHWEH’s commands is bondage, legalistic, or even a cult. Those who speak such words are spiritually blinded and do not truly know our ELOHIM, but He is merciful, so continue to pray for them because on He can change their hearts. But to those who feel alone and feel like you are doing this in vain, keep going, remove yourself completely from the world and its ways and seek the citizenship of heaven and not the citizenship of the earth. The reward in the end is something the human mind cannot even fathom nor put into words.

Titus 2:11-13

“For the saving Gift of YAHWEH has appeared to all men, instructing us to RENOUNCE WICKEDNESS AND WORLDLY LUSTS, and live sensibly, righteously, and reverently in the present age, LOOKING for the blessed EXPECTATION and esteemed appearance of the great ELOHIM and our Savior YESHUA ha’Mashiach…”

James 4:4

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

1 John 2:15-17

“Do not LOVE THE WORLD nor that which is in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. Because all that is in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-is NOT OF the Father BUT IS OF THE WORLD. And the world passes away, and the lust of it, but the one doing the desire of ELOHIM remains forever.”

Romans 12:1-3

“I call upon you, therefore, brothers, through the compassion of ELOHIM to present your bodies a living offering-holy, well pleasing to ELOHIM-your reasonable worship. And do not be conformed to THIS WORLD, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of ELOHIM.”

Enoch 108:6-15

“And he said to me, “This place which you see: here are cast the spirits of sinners and blasphemers, and of those who work wickedness, and those who pervert everything that the Adon (Master) has spoken through the mouth of the prophets-even the things that shall be. For some of them are written and inscribed above in the heaven, in order that the messengers may read them and know what will happen to the sinners, and the spirits of the humble, and of those who have afflicted their bodies, and been repaid by ELOHIM; and of those who have been put to shame by wicked men, who LOVE ELOHIM AND DID NOT LOVE GOLD NOR SILVER NOR ANY OF THE GOOD THINGS WHICH ARE IN THE WORLD, but gave over their bodies to torture. Who, since they came into being, DID NOT Long AFTER EARTHY FOOD BUT REGARDED EVERYTHING AS A PASSING BREATH, AND LIVED ACCORDINDLY, and the Master tried them much, and their spirits were found pure so that they should bless His Name. And all the blessings destined for them I have recounted in the books. And he has assigned them their repayment, because they have been found to be such as LOVED HEAVEN MORE THAN THEIR LIFE IN THE WORLD, and though they were trodden under foot of wicked men, and experienced abuse and reviling from them and were put to shame, yet they blessed Me. And now I will summon the spirits of the good who belong to the generation of light, and I will transform those who were born in darkness, who in the flesh were not repaid with such honor as their faith deserved. And I will bring forth in shining light those who have loved My Holy Name, and I will seat each on the throne of his honor. And they shall be magnificent for times without number; for righteousness is the judgment of ELOHIM.  For He will give faith to the faithful in the habitation of upright paths. And they shall see those who were born in darkness led into darkness, while the righteous shall be magnificent. And the sinners shall cry aloud and see them magnificent, and they indeed will go where days and seasons are prescribed for them.”

2 Timothy 4:10

“For Demas, having LOVED THIS PRESENT WORLD, has deserted me and went to Thessalonica, Kreskes to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.”

Don’t be like Demas who loved this world as many people do. There are many snares that believers get trapped in whether its sports, secular music, drunkedness, porn, cursing, horror movies, cars, clothes, money, fornication, partying, celebrating pagan holidays, dress half naked, cell phones, gluttony and all kinds of modern day idols. Keep your eyes toward those blessings and rewards that are laid up for those who forsake this world to receive better things in the next world! Let this be a reminder to seek the citizenship of heaven and not the citizenship being friends of the world.

Philippians 3:14-20

“I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of ELOHIM in Messiah YESHUA. Verse 14-20 “For many-of whom I have often told you, and now say to you even weeping-walk as enemies of the stake of Messiah. Their end is destruction, their mighty one is their stomach, and their esteem is in their shame-they MIND THE EARTHLY. For OUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN THE HEAVENS, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Adon YESHUA ha’Mashiach.”

2 Esdras 8:38-39

“For indeed I shall not think upon the works of those who have sinned before death, before judgment, before destruction; but I shall rejoice over the works of the righteous, and I shall also remember their SOJOURNINGS, and the deliverance, and the reward, that they shall have.”

Hebrews 11:9-16 the parenthesis are my commentary notes

“By belief, he (Abraham) SOJOURNED in the land of promise as a STRANGER, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise, for he was looking for the city having foundations (just as we await the New Jerusalem), whose Builder and Maker is ELOHIM. Verse 13-16 In belief all these died, not having received the promises, but seeing from a distance, welcomed and embraced them, and confessed that they were ALIENS AND STRANGERS ON THE EARTH. For those who speak this way make it clear that they seek a home country (just as we are in the New Jerusalem). And yet, if they had indeed kept remembering that from which they had come out, they would have had the chance to return (not looking back after you have gotten out of the world). But now they long for a better, that is, of the HEAVENS. Therefore, YAHWEH is not ashamed to be called their ELOHIM, for He has prepared a city forth them (The same way He has prepared a city for us to dwell for those who overcome, we all seek the same promise.)

Psalms 39:12

“Hear my prayer, O YAHWEH, and give ear to my cry; do not be silent at my tears; for I am a STRANGER with You, A SOJOURNER, as ALL MY ANCESTORS WERE.”

If we are citizens of Yisra’el and the seed of Abraham and heirs according to the promise, then that means we should be embracing that fact that ALL of our ancestors were strangers and sojourners on this earth. They all recognized that this is not their permanent home for they all sought the promise of what is to come. Keep your minds focused on that.

Psalms 119:19

“I am a SOJOURNER in the earth; do not hide Your Commands from me.”

1 Chronicles 29:15

“For we are SOJOURNERS and PILGRIMS before You, as were ALL of ancestors; our days on earth are as a shadow, and without permanence.”

Colossians 3:1-2

“If, then, you were raised with Messiah, seek those which are above, where Messiah is, seated at the right hand of YAHWEH. Mind those ABOVE, NOT THOSE ON THE EARTH.”

2 Corinthians 4:7-18

“And we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the excellence of the power might be of ELOHIM, and not of us-being hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; being perplexed, but not in despair; being persecuted, but not forsaken; being thrown down, but not destroyed; always bearing about in the body the dying of the Master YESHUA, that the life of YESHUA might also be manifested in our body. Verse 16-17 “Therefore we do not lose heart, but even if our outward man is perishing, yet that within is being renewed day by day. For this SLIGHT MOMENTARY PRESSURE, is working for us a far more exceeding and EVERLASTING WEIGHT OF ESTEEM. WE ARE NOT LOOKING ON WHAT IS SEEN, BUT ON WHAT IS NOT SEEN. For what is seen passes away, but what is not seen is EVERLASTING.”

2 Corinthians 5:1-7

“For we know that if the tent of our earthy house, is destroyed, we have a building from ELOHIM, a house not made with hands, everlasting in the heavens. For indeed in this we groan, longing to put on our dwelling which is from heaven, so that, having put it on, we shall not be found naked. For indeed, we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to put it off, but to put on, so that what is to die might swallowed up by life. Now He who has prepared us for this same purpose is ELOHIM, who has given us the Spirit as a pledge of WHAT IS TO COME. Therefore being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Master-for we walk by belief, not by sight…”

2 Esdras 7:1-16

“And when I had finished speaking these words, the messenger who had been sent to me the nights before was sent to me. And he said to me, “Rise, Ezra, and hear the words that I have come to tell you.” And I said, “Speak on, my master.” Then he said to me, “The Sea is put in a wide place, that it might be deep and great. But if it were that the entrance were narrow, and like a river; who then could go into the sea to look upon it, and to navigate it? If he did no go through the narrow, how could he come to the wide? There is also another example: a city is built, and put on a broad field, and is filled with all good. Its entrance is narrow, and is put in a dangerous place to fall, so there is a fire on the right hand, and a deep moat on the left, and only one path between them both, even between the fire and the water, so narrow that only one man could go through at once. If this city now were given to a man as an inheritance, if he should never pass the danger placed before it, how shall he receive his inheritance? And I said, “It is so, master. “Then he said to me, “So also is Yisra’els portion. Because for their sakes I made the world; and when Adam transgressed My Laws, then what is now done was established. Then the entrances of this world were made narrow, full of sorrow and hardship. They are but few and evil, full of dangers and very laborsome. For the entrances of the greater world were wide and sure, and brought for incorruptible fruit. If then those who live do not strive to go through these distresses and futilities, they shall NEVER RECEIVE THAT WHICH IS LAID UP FOR THEM. Now therefore why do you worry yourself, seeing you are but a corruptible man? And why are you disturbed, for you are only mortal? Why have you not considered in your heart THAT WHICH IS TO COME, rather than that which is present?”

How can you receive your inheritance of eternal life, if you don’t go through the hardships in this life by entering the narrow gate that YESHUA spoke of in Mathew 7:13? Having one foot in the world and one foot serving YAHWEH is luke warmness and there is nothing distressing about that. Endure the hardships and reject the things of the world because there is treasure laid up for you. Due to Adams sin we became strangers in this life and we have to overcome through YESHUA and be led by the RUACH ha’Kodesh.

This will cost everything!

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.”

By no longer living for yourself, but rather living for YESHUA who died and rose again, means you have died to your fleshly desires and refrain from the thought of living your best life now because you have become a new creature.. No one who is a new creature and transformed by the blood of YESHUA continues to live in the world as the unbelievers do. Rather, they reject the things of this world to be filled with the guidelines and instructions that please our Father YAHWEH!

We choose to die to self in this life to gain the better reward in the next life, so choose the heavenly food!  Even if you have to separate yourself from family and friends because they think you are crazy; or they believe that you are in a cult simply for being obedient to our ELOHIM. When you remove yourself from this world and its evil holidays and the lusts of this world, you can expect to be rejected and possibly be alone. This walk isn’t easy and you will never be alone because YESHUA is with you every step of the way. YESHUA words should pierce the hearts of many who are still holding on to this world or the people in it more than Him:

Luke 14:26-33

“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his dad and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and his own life too, he is unable to be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his stake and come after Me is unable to be My disciple. Verse 33 “So, then, every one of you who does not give up all that he has is unable to be My disciple.”

You have to make this decision to get out of the world and stick with it for life. Most of your family and friends won’t understand why you have chosen this hard pressed path that leads to life because most people mainly Christians can’t fathom giving up everything in this life and completely dying to their own desires to completely live for YESHUA! How can this be?

1 John 3:1-2

“See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of ELOHIM! For this reason the world does not know us because it did not know Him. Beloved ones, now we are children of ELOHIM. And it has not yet been revealed what we should be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone having this expectation in Him cleanses himself, as He is clean.”

John 15:18-19

“If the world hates you, know that it hated Me before you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. But because you are not of the world, yet I chose you out of the world, for that reason the world hates you.”

John 17:13-14

“And now I come to You. And I speak these in the world, so that they have My joy completed in them. I have given them Your Word, and the world hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.”

In conclusion, expect to be hated in this world, expect to give up everything in this world, and expect to be a stranger and sojourner because we are not of this world. But know that citizenship in the next world will be no comparison to those who hold onto to the present world.

2 Esdras 4:24-27

“And we pass away out of the world as grasshoppers, and our life is astonishment and fear, and we are not worthy to obtain kindness. What shall He then do for His Name by which we are called? Of these matters I have asked.” Then he answered me, and said, “The more you search, the more you shall marvel; for the world hastens to pass away, and cannot understand that which is promised to the righteous in time to come; for this world is full of unrighteousness and sickness.”

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