Message to ALL CHRISTIANS!

Proverbs 28:9

“He who turns away his ear from hearing the Torah, even his prayer is an ABOMINATION.”

Yes, Christians this is a powerful scripture that you must take heed to. If you turn away from the Torah which includes the 7th Day Sabbath on Saturday, the dietary laws in Leviticus 11, the Holy Days found in Leviticus 23 (Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Shavuot/Pentecost, Yom Teruah/Trumpets, Yom Kippur, and Feast of Tabernacles, then your prayers are an abomination! Why would this be? Because you are walking in rebellion to the guidelines and instructions of our Father YAHWEH!

This is a message and warning to Christian churches to wake up and see the truth as time is running out. The biggest problem is that Christians say The Torah which they call the Law is done away with. The Torah is YAHWEH’s guidelines and instructions of how we should lives and it all constitutes love, how to love Him and how to love our neighbor as ourself.

 One example is that Christianity says that YESHUA did not keep the Shabbat on the 7th Day! How can this be? Wouldn’t YESHUA have to be keeping the Shabbat in order to have been accused of breaking it? We have to look at scripture in it’s context to know that YESHUA rebuked the Pharisee’s for THEIR version of the Shabbat with their added traditions that are not found in the Torah and making it a burden upon men, YESHUA rebuked them for the “traditions of the elders” man-made laws that they placed above the written Torah of YAHWEH! And there is no escaping this scripture:

Mathew 5:17-18

“Do not think that I came to destroy the Torah or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to complete. For truly, I say to you, till the heavens and the earth pass away, one yod or one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done.”

Christians will then replace the world complete or fulfill with destroy or abolish which does not make sense. The scripture when then read “I did not come to abolish/destroy the Torah but abolish/destroy it.” That does not even make sense. Furthermore, YESHUA says until heaven and earth pass away none of the Torah abolished, and we know that heaven and earth don’t pass away until:

Revelation 21:1-2

“And I saw a renewed heaven and a renewed earth, for the former heavens and the former earth has passed away, and the sea is no more. And I, John, saw the holy city, renewed Jerusalem, coming down out of the heavens from ELOHIM, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.”

The heavens and earth have not passed away, nor has the New Jerusalem come down out of the heavens; therefore, the Torah and commandments REMAIN and must be kept.

We will be discussing are you a slave to sin or righteousness? What is righteousness? Will ELOHIM leave Christians in the plagues? What is the Way of YAHWEH? All righteous men performed works! And it’s about faith and works and being a doer of the word and not a hearer!

Are you a slave to sin or slave to righteousness?

James 1:25

“But he that looked into the PERECT TORAH, that of FREEDOM, and continues in it, not becoming a hearer that forgets, but a doer of work, this one shall be blessed in his doing.”

Psalms 19:7

“The Torah of YAHWEH is PERFECT, bringing back the being; The Witness of YAHWEH is trustworthy, making wise the simple…”

Christians say that the commandments are bondage and legalism, yet James says that the Torah is freedom, and both David and James agree that the Torah is PERFECT! Are we to believe David who was king in Yisra’el, a man after YAHWEH’s own heart, and the bloodline that YESHUA came through? And James the half-brother of YESHUA and head of the Jerusalem Council? Or are we to believe the modern Christian pastors who are viewing scripture through the westernized mindset and not the Hebraic mindset? The answer should be obvious!

How does the bible define sin?

1 John 3:4

“Everyone doing sin also does lawlessness (transgression of Torah), and sin is lawlessness.”

So how can the law be done away with when the Biblical definition of sin is breaking the commandments of the Torah? Every time you sin you have broken a command of our Father YAHWEH. Now doesn’t it make sense when YESHUA says

Mathew 7:23

“And then I shall declare to them, I never KNEW you, depart from me, you WORK LAWLESSNESS.”

These are believers that YESHUA is talking to because we know that atheists or any type of non-believer is not casting out demons, prophesying or doing works in YESHUA’s Name, yet YESHUA tells these believers to depart, because they were LAWLESS because they break the Torah which is the Biblical definition of sin by saying “It has been done away with!”

If sin is defined as breaking the commandments of Torah, then what are the wages of sin?

Romans 6:23

“For the wages of sin is DEATH, but the favorable gift of ELOHIM is everlasting life in Messiah YESHUA our Master.”

Now armed with the Biblical definition of sin you can now get a better understanding of what is being said when sin is referenced in scripture.

John 8:34

“YESHUA answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone doing SIN is a servant of sin.”

A servant is not greater than his Master, so it’s only logical to know that Paul would agree with his Master YESHUA’s statements!

Romans 6:16

“Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves servants for obedience, you are servants of the one whom you obey, whether of SIN TO DEATH, or of obedience to righteousness?”

Being a slave to sin by breaking the commandments of Torah leads to death which will be lake of fire!

Romans 6:1-2

“What, then, shall we say? Shall we continue in SIN (breaking commandments of Torah), to let favor (grace) increase? Let it not be! How shall we who died to SIN still live in it?

Paul is saying the exact opposite of what Christianity teaches in this scripture. Paul says you cannot continue being lawless to be saved by grace! The definition of grace literally means UNMERITED FAVOR! This means you did not earn it, you did not deserve it, but it was simply out of the love of our Father YAHWEH that He sent His Son to die, so that we may live! So how can you take something you did not earn or deserve and use that as a ticket to sin all you like and then inherit eternal life? Let it not be! Now that YESHUA gave Himself up for us, we are to strive to leave righteous lives by being obedient to His commandments out of love and knowing Him. In other words you need to be trying harder not trying less, ELOHIM expects more out of us!

Sirach 5:4-6

“Do not say, “I have sinned, and what harm has befallen me? For YAHWEH is patient, He shall by no means let you go. Concerning atonement, do not be without reverence to add sin unto sin; and not say, “His kindness is great; He shall be appeased for the multitude of my sins.” For kindness and wrath come from Him, and His wrath rests upon sinners.”

This scripture paints the picture of Christianity, they say they can continue in sin by being lawless and nothing will befall them because YAHWEH sees YESHUA’s blood and not us. So “do as thou wilt.” They believe that YAHWEH is appeased with the many sins and continue to add sin unto sin which means they have no fear of YAHWEH and they feel YAHWEH is so kind that He will forgive all. YAHWEH does forgive and He is patient wanting you to come to repentance and come to the truth, not to live a lawless life and then expect the eternal reward!

Jubilees 30:21-22

“All this account I have written for you, and have commanded you to say to the children of Yisra’el, that they should not commit sin nor transgress the judgements nor break the covenant which has been ordained for them, but that they should fulfill it and be recorded as FRIENDS. But if they transgress and work uncleanness in every way, they will be recorded on the heavenly tablets as ADVERSARIES (Satan means adversary), and they will be blotted out of the book of life, and they will be recorded in the book of those who will be destroyed, and with those who will be uprooted from the earth.”

Ask yourself, do you want to be counted as a friend to YAHWEH and inherit eternal life? Or do you want to be counted as an adversary which Satan is and have your named blotted out of the book life? The answer should be obvious, but the only way to avoid eternal torment is to accept YESHUA and keep the commandments.

1 John 4:9-10

“By this the love of YAHWEH was manifested in us, that YAHWEH has sent His only begotten Son into the world, in order that we might live through Him. In this is love, not that we loved YAHWEH, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be an atoning offering for our sins.”

1 John 3:8-9

“The one doing SIN is of the devil, because the devil has SINNED from the beginning. For the purpose the Son of YAHWEH was manifested: to destroy the works of the devil. Everyone having been born of ELOHIM does not sin, because His seed stays in him, and he is powerless to sin, because he has been born of ELOHIM.” Which also ties in with 1 John 2:29 which is the opposite of sin and will be covered in the next section.

Since the wages of sin is death and ALL of us have sinned against a holy ELOHIM, YAHWEH sent His Son YESHUA to die for us and bear the wrath of our sins that we deserved and wiped the slate clean. So, being that He traded places with us for breaking His Commandments, do we go on continuing to break them and be lawless? YESHUA has set us free from being slaves to sin to being slaves to righteousness.

Hebrews 10:26-31 (Parenthesis mine)

“For if we SIN PURPOSELY (As Christianity purposely disregards the commandments) after we have received the knowledge of the truth (everyone has been told the law is not done away with), there no longer remains a slaughter offering for sins, but some fearsome anticipation of judgment, and a fierce fire which is about to consume the opponents. Anyone who has DISREGARDED THE TORAH of Moses dies without compassion on the witness of two or three witnesses. How much worse punishment do you think shall he deserve who has trampled the Son of YAHWEH underfoot, counted the blood of the Covenant by which he was sanctified as common, and insulted the Spirit of favor. For we know Him who has said, “Vengeance is Mine, I shall repay, says YAHWEH.” And again, “YAHWEH shall judge His people.” It is fearsome to fall into the hands of the living ELOHIM.”

How does the Bible define righteousness?

Deuteronomy 6:24-25

“And YAHWEH commanded us to DO (action) all these Laws, to revere YAHWEH our ELOHIM, for our good always, to keep us alive, as it is today. And it is RIGHTEOUSNESS for us when we GUARD to DO all these Commands before YAHWEH our ELOHIM, as He has commanded us.”

This one passage alone from YAHWEH Himself flies in the face of what Christianity teaches. They say there is no work for the believer to do because they feel they you are trying to earn salvation through works. Not true! The commandments are how we KNOW AND LOVE YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA and shows us righteous behavior, the ways of YAHWEH! We are only saved by YESHUA’s atonement for our sins in His blood, but He doesn’t want you to be LAWLESS like Satan is either. Just as Paul and James both said its faith and works, do not be a hearer of the Torah but a DOER.

Galatians 3:24

“Therefore the Torah became our trainer unto Messiah, in order to be declared right by faith.”

The Torah trains us up in the ways of righteousness in order to be given over to the Living Torah YESHUA, to walk in His Ways just as He did; and to show us the true essence of Torah the way YAHWEH intended for it to be and not the way the Pharisee’s taught it; and to declared right by faith in Him that we will be resurrected unto eternal life as He promised in John 6:40. No one who is trained in something disregards the training they received, rather they maintain the training and continue to grow in it, Everything points us to the sinless YESHUA. So, belief in YESHUA the Living Torah and obedience to the Torah is our GOAL to righteousness and Paul writes in Romans 10:4, it’s not the end of the law. The word used in Greek for “end” is Telos which means “goal.”.

1 John 2:29

“If you know that He (YESHUA) is RIGHTEOUS, you know that everyone DOING (action) RIGHTEOUSNESS has been born of Him.”

Acts 10:34-35

“And opening his mouth, Peter said, “Truly I see that ELOHIM shows no partiality, but in every nation, he who reveres Him and WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS is accepted by Him.”

So John is saying that anyone who DOES righteousness is born of YESHUA! And Peter said everyone nation who reveres YAHWEH and WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS. WORKING AND DOING are ACTION words! So in order to WORK and DO righteousness means there is action required on the part of the believer of keeping the commandments of the Torah.

Genesis 18:19

“For I have KNOWN him (Abraham), so that he commands his children and his household after him, to guard THE WAY OF YAHWEH, TO DO RIGHTEOUSNESS, and RIGHT-RULING..”

Jubilees 20:1-2

“And in the forty-second Jubilee, in the first year of the seventh week, Abraham called Ishmael, his twelve sons, and Isaac and his two sons (Esau and Jacob), 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.”.

The Way of YAHWEH

Psalms 103:6-7

“YAHWEH is doing righteousness and right-ruling for all the oppressed. He made known His WAYS to Moses.”

Psalms 119:1

“Blessed are the perfect in THE WAY, who walk in the Torah of YAHWEH!”

So YAHWEH revealed His Ways to Moses which we know is the Torah or the Law as Christians say, and The Way of YAHWEH is the commandments which Christianity speaks evil of. Do you see how this can get many in trouble with YESHUA on judgement day for speaking evil of what He has made good? Peter said this would happen:

2 Peter 2:1-3 (Parenthesis mine)

“But there also came to be false prophets among the people as also among you there shall be false teachers (those teaching lawless Christianity), who shall secretly bring in destructive heresies (opinion, doctrine, or practice contrary to the truth) and deny the Master who bought them (rejecting the ways of our King by doing so), brining swift destruction on themselves. And many shall follow their destructive ways (As 99.9% of the world aka the Christians churches have done), because whom the WAY OF TRUTH SHALL BE EVIL SPOKEN OF (Saying the Torah is a curse, legalistic, bondage), and in greed, with fabricated words, they shall use you for gain (Like lawless Christianity and prosperity teachers.)

Wake up Christian churches and realize you need the blood of YESHUA to save you and keeping His commandments. The Christian pastors have taught their churches that the commandments of YAHWEH are a curse, legalistic, and bondage. Did you know that by doing so you have just spoken EVIL of the character of YAHWEH since He is the One who gave it?

 I’ve said in previous messages that ALL believers are supposed to be citizens of Yisra’el and that is native-born with gentiles grafted in through belief in YESHUA, but the problem is that the Christian churches do not know their identity because the many lives of “Replacement theology” that the church as replaced Yisra’el as YAHWEH’s chosen people and that is a complete lie!

Genesis 18:19

“For I have KNOWN him (Abraham), so that he commands his children and his household after him, to guard THE WAY OF YAHWEH, TO DO RIGHTEOUSNESS, and RIGHT-RULING..”

Mathew 11:29

“Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am meek and humble in heart, and you shall find rest for your beings. For My yoke is gentle and My burden is light.”

The yoke YESHUA is referring to is the Torah and obedience to it and He is saying to learn from Him because He is the Written Word that became Living Flesh! In those days when ploughing a field they would pair an older experienced ox with a younger inexperienced ox, and that younger inexperienced ox would learn from the older experienced ox, and that is how the Israelites viewed ELOHIM. We are the younger inexperienced ox learning from YESHUA and His Ways. YESHUA also says His burden is light, the Torah is not a burden as we read from John:

1 John 5:3

“For this is the love for YAHWEH, that we guard His Commands, and His Commands are not BURDENSOM (HEAVY).”

Deuteronomy 30:10-11

“If you obey the voice of YAHWEH your ELOHIM, to guard His Commands and His Laws which are written in this Book of the Torah, if you turn back to YAHWEH your ELOHIM with all your heart and with all your being. For this Command which I am commanding you today, it is NOT TOO HARD FOR YOU, NOR IS IT FAR OFF.” As YESHUA said my burden is light, which matches what Moses said, is that the commandments are not too hard for you!

John 8:31

“So YESHUA said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you stay in My Word, you are truly My disciples.”

The only way to truly be a disciple of YESHUA is to obey the commandments! YESHUA is doing the heavy lifting as we learn from His Ways and you just need to follow suite and learn to walk as He walked.

1 John 2:6

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

Which means YESHUA kept the Torah and is the true essence of the Torah, because He is the Living Torah and He set the example for how we should walk in obedience to the Torah, and if you claim to follow Him, then you have to walk in obedience just as He did.

All men of Scripture had work to do! Action is required with faith!

 Even Adam before he fell was told to till and guard the garden, he didn’t just sit back and do nothing as a lot of Christians want to do, by laying everything on YESHUA’s blood alone, we are to die to self and die to sin as He died on the execution stake for us!

Genesis 2:5

“Now no shrub of the field was yet on the earth, and no plant of the field had yet sprung up, for YAHWEH ELOHIM had not sent rain on the earth, and there was NO MAN TO TILL THE GROUND.” Verse 15 “And YAHWEH ELOHIM took the man and put him in the garden to Eden to WORK IT AND GUARD IT.”

What was he working? Tilling the ground! What was he guarding? From animals! (Notice how tilling and guarding our both ACTIONS?)

Jubilees 3:16

“And he tilled the garden, and was naked and was not aware of it, and was not ashamed, and he PROTECTED the garden from the birds and beasts and cattle and gathered its fruit, and ate, and put aside the remainder for himself and for his wife.”

Moses had the faith that YAHWEH would part the Red Sea, but he had to stand before the sea and wave the rod of ELOHIM over it, not just stand there and watch YAHWEH do it all. Even though YAHWEH is in control, He is showing that man has his role to play in the physical realm as He does the miracle in the spiritual realm.

Exodus 14:15-16

“And YAHWEH said to Moses, why do you cry to Me? Speak to the children of Yisrael and let them go forward. And you, LIFT UP YOUR ROD, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and let the children of Yisra’el go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.’ Verse 21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea. And YAHWEH caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.”

Another example of Moses having a part to play in the physical realm while YAHWEH provides the miracle or victory in the spiritual realm is:

Exodus 17:9-13

“And Moses said to Joshua, ‘Choose for us men and go out, fight with Amaleq. Tomorrow I am stationing myself on the top of the hill with the rod of ELOHIM in my hand.” And Joshua did as Moses said to him, to fight with Amaleq. And Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And it came to be, when Moses HELD UP HIS HAND, that Yisra’el prevailed. And when he LET DOWN his hands Amaleq prevailed. But Moses’s hands were heavy, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it. And Aaron and Hur supported his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. And his hands were steady until THE GOING DOWN OF THE SUN. And Joshua defeated Amaleq and his people with the edge of the sword.”

Noah had to build the ark

YAHWEH told Noah that He was going to destroy all flesh because of the sins of the world and the fallen angels going into the daughters of men. However, YAHWEH didn’t just snap His fingers to make an ark appear, although He could have! However, He chose to have Noah build the ark, which again shows men have to work to do and action to accompany their faith.

Genesis 6:14-17

“Make yourself an ark of gopher-wood. Make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and outside with tar. And this is how you are to make it: The length of the ark is three hundred ammah, its width fifty ammah, and its height thirty ammah. Make a window for the ark, and complete it to an ammah from above. And put the door of the ark in its side. Make it with lower, second, and third decks.”

Hebrews 11:7

“By BELIEF (FAITH), Noah having been warned of what was yet unseen, having feared, PREPARED AN ARK (WORKS/ACTION) to save his house, through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to BELIEF.”

It's faith and works, being a doer not a hearer!

John 14:21

“He who possesses My Commands and GUARDS 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.”

If you love our Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA you will guard His commands! These are action words, in other words don’t talk with your lips, but show Him through your actions that you love Him because lip service means nothing!

Mathew 15:8-9

“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.”

If you are married and you tell your spouse that you love them with your lips and immediately walk out of the house and have orgies, did you just show your spouse that you loved them through your actions? Your actions showed that you don’t love them regardless of the flowers that came out of your mouth when you spoke, and YESHUA is saying the same thing.

Romans 2:13

“For not the HEARERS of the Torah are righteous in the sight of ELOHIM, but the DOERS of the Torah shall be declared right.”

James 1:22-25

“And become DOERS OF THE WORD, and not HEARERS only, DECEIVING YOURSELVES. Because if anyone is a HEARER of the Word and NOT A DOER, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror, for he looks at himself, and goes away, and immediately forgets what he was like. But he that looked into the PERFECT TORAH, that of FREEDOM, and CONTINUES IN IT, not becoming a HEARER that forgets, but DOER OF WORK, this one shall be blessed in his doing.”

Joel 2:11

“And YAHWEH shall give forth His voice before His army, for His camp is very great, for mighty is the DOER OF HIS WORD. For the day of YAHWEH is great and very awesome, and who can bear it?”

Revelation 14:12

“Here is the endurance of the saints, here are those GUARDING THE COMMANDS OF YAHWEH, and BELIEF/FAITH of YESHUA.”

2 Esdras 7:24 YHWH says

“But they have despised His Torah, and denied His Covenants; they have not been trustworthy in His Laws, and have NOT PERFORMED HIS WORKS.”

James 2:20-22

“But do you want to know, O foolish man, that the BELIEF (FAITH) WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD? Was not Abraham our ancestor declared right by WORKS when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that the BELIEF (FAITH) was working with his WORKS, and the WORKS THE BELIEF (FAITH) was perfected?

2 Esdras 9:7 YHWH says

“And everyone that shall be saved, and shall be able to escape by his WORKS AND BY BELIEF(FAITH), by which you have believed.”

2 Esdras 13:23 YHWH says

“He who shall endure the danger in that time guards himself; those who have fallen into danger are those who have WORKS, AND BELIEF (FAITH) toward the Almighty.”

Revelation 20:12-13

“And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before the throne, and books were opened. And another Book was opened, which is Life. And the dead were judged from what was written in the books, according to their WORKS. 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.”

If you notice YAHWEH Himself and other witnesses Paul, James, and Ezra all say that it is FAITH AND WORKS that will save a man, meaning that there is ACTION on performing the commandments on the part of the believer and performing His works and deeds. You do not sit back and do nothing, which is why it’s called WALKING in the paths of YAHWEH and His Ways, even the word WALK is an action word, even the word GUARD means to protect, you cannot guard something while sleeping or doing nothing.  He didn’t say “sit down” in His Ways.

Leviticus 18:4-5

“Do My Right-Rulings and GUARD (action), to WALK (action) in them. I am YAHWEH your ELOHIM. And you shall GUARD My Laws and My Right-Rulings, which a man DOES (action) and lives by them. I am YAHWEH.”

Titus 1:16

“They profess to KNOW ELOHIM, but in WORKS they deny Him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unfit for any good work.”

They profess to KNOW YESHUA but by their lawless actions of NO works they deny Him, because scripture tells us how to KNOW HIM!

1 John 2:3-4

“And by this, we KNOW that we KNOW Him, if we keep His Commands. The one who says, “I KNOW Him,” and does not keep His Commands, is a liar, and the truth is NOT in him.”

Which is why YESHUA clearly says in Mathew 7:23 for the lawless to depart from Him. They had the faith, but did not have the works of the commandments of the Torah to go with it.

“And then I shall declare to them, I never KNEW you, depart from me, you WORK LAWLESSNESS.”

Lawlessness is a characteristic applied to Satan who rebelled and was cast out of heaven, is the lawless deeds of Satan someone who any believer should ever follow?

Everyone who studies the scriptures know that we are not appointed to the wrath of YAHWEH our Father, right?

1 Thessalonians 5:9

“Because ELOHIM did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain deliverance through our Master YESHUA HA’MASHIACH…”

We see this happen before YAHWEH flooded the earth during Noah’s day and left the righteous Noah behind with his sons to replenish the earth.

Jasher 4:20

“And all men who WALKED IN THE WAYS OF YAHWEH, died in those days, BEFORE YAHWEH brought the evil upon man which He had declared, for this was from YAHWEH, that they should NOT SEE THE EVIL which YAHWEH spoke of concerning the sons of men. And Noah found favor in the sight of YAHWEH, and YAHWEH chose him and his children to raise up seed from them upon the face of the whole earth.”

So, there are many Christians who are not walking in the WAYS of YAHWEH which we defined in an earlier section that the Way of YAHWEH is the Torah (Psalms 119:1), just as the days of Noah and we see YAHWEH destroyed them. So many Christians know we are not appointed to the wrath of YAHWEH, but look at what YAHWEH says you must do to avoid this:

2 Esdras 15:24-27

“Woe to those who sin, and DO NOT GUARD MY COMMANDS!” says YAHWEH. I shall NOT spare them. Go your way, you UNBELIEVING children, do not defile My Sanctuary!” For YAHWEH knows all those who sin against Him, therefore He gives them over to death and destruction. For now the plagues have come upon the whole earth and YOU SHALL REMAIN IN THEM; for ELOHIM shall not deliver you, because you have sinned against Him.”

This is why James says faith without works is dead, because without works of the Torah, actions, and deeds you are equated to an unbelieving child and does not separate you from an atheist. This is a powerful scripture and should be an eye-opener for many in this world. I pray this message will wake someone up to see that the hour is late and that time is running out. Repent! And give your life to YESHUA and be obedient to His commands!

May YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name.

Solar calendar or Lunar calendar?

The topic of which calendar to use has caused many debates and divisions amongst the Body of Messiah; it is definitely not a reason to stop fellowshipping with another brother or sister or hating one another. There is much confusion surrounding which calendar to use, so again it is not my intention to cause any fights over this topic, but to share why I use it and to shed some light on the topic, because there may be some information contained within this message that you were unaware of.

 This message also isn’t about covering the vernal equinox and when to start the next year, however I would like to share the things that jumped out to me and prayerfully make it easy to understand based on the scriptures I present. The goal of this message is simply to show the evidence of the use of the solar calendar. We will discuss did our ancestors use a solar calendar or a lunar calendar? There are 10 days missing on the lunar calendar, and is it really translated “New Moon” where we see it in scripture?

Did our ancestors use the solar calendar?

The Dead seas scrolls website states:

Calendrical Texts (חיבורים קלנדריים) – "Calendrical texts" found in the Qumran caves rely mainly on SOLAR rather than LUNAR calculations. The calendars are useful sources of information about festivals and priestly courses (mishmarot). The cryptic script (a type of unusual Hebrew writing) of some of the calendars may imply that the information was secret and (intended for or likely to be understood by only a small number of people with a specialized knowledge or interest.) These manuscripts are especially valued for their orderly and systematic lists of days and months, enabling scholars to recreate missing pieces of the calendar. The most prominent calendar consists of 364 days divided into 4 seasons of 13 weeks each.

At the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established and we see the Dead Sea Scrolls website verifies it and The Zadok Priestly calendar which is a solar calendar are referenced in Enoch, Jubilees, and the Aramaic Levi document of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which shows that our ancestors used this calendar.

Jubilees 2:8-9

“And on the fourth day He created the sun and the moon and the stars, and set them in the expanse of the heavens, to give light upon all the earth, and to rule over the day and the night, and divide the light from the darkness. And YAHWEH appointed the SUN TO BE A GREAT SIGN ON THE EARTH FOR DAYS, AND FOR SHABBATS, AND FOR MONTHS AND FOR FEASTS, AND FOR YEARS, AND FOR SHABBATS OF YEARS, AND FOR JUBILEES, AND FOR ALL SEASONS OF THE YEARS.”

This scripture tells us clearly that the sun aka the solar calendar is what we are to use to determine the Shabbats so that cancels out the lunar sabbath keepers, and also for days, feasts and years. If you have not please check out the written blog or video I did titled “The Lunar Shabbat deception”. Evening marks the end of a day and starts the beginning of the next; therefore, the SUN gets the last say in the day, but for those who follow the morning to morning days means the darkness gets the last say in the day. And we see clearly that the Book of Jubilees which is a malach aka messenger aka angel of YAHWEH speaking to Moses tells us to use the sun.

Jubilees 4:20-21

“And in the twelfth jubilee, in the seventh week, he (Enoch) took to himself a wife, and her name was Edna, the daughter of Dani’el, the daughter of his dad’s brother, and in the sixth year in this week she bore him a son and he called him Methuselah. And he (Enoch) was with the messengers of ELOHIM these six jubilees of years, and they showed him everything which is on earth and in the heavens: the RULE OF THE SUN; and he wrote down everything.”

Enoch 72:37

“As he (the sun) rises, so he sets and does not decrease, and does not rest, but runs day and night, and his light is seven times brighter than that of the moon; but regarding size they are both equal.”

Theapocryphalstone.com states: (Parenthesis mine)

“ALD (Aramaic Levi Document) uses a 360-day solar calendar (4 intercalary days added to make 364) of the type promoted by Jubilees and the Enochic Book of the Luminaries. Later, the same calendar was also advanced by the Dead Sea Sect. where it originated is still a mystery as is the question of its social location.”

So, the Aramaic Levi Document uses the 360-day solar calendar as the base year, just as Jubilees and Enoch does because 12 months X 30 days in a month= 360 days in a year and then Enoch explains that there must be four intercalary days added at the end of each season to equal a total of 364 days. The scriptures proving Jubilees and Enoch uses a 364-day solar calendar is in the next section (There are 10 days are missing on the lunar calendar).

Enoch 75:1-2

“And the leaders of the heads of the thousands, who are placed over the whole creation and over all the stars, have also to do with the FOUR INTERCALARY DAYS, being inseparable from their office, according to the reckoning of the year, and these render service on the FOUR DAYS which are not reckoned in the reckoning of the year (base year of 360 days). And owing to them men GO ASTRAY therein, for those lights truly render service on the world-stations, one in the first portal, one in the third portal of the heavens, one in the fourth portal, and one in the sixth portal, and the EXACTNESS OF THE YEAR is accomplished through its separate THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOUR STATIONS.”

So, there are 360 days in a base year and Enoch says that you have to add four intercalary days to get to 364 total days to bring in the year exactly.

Jubilees 6:23

“And on the first day of the first month, on the first day of the fourth month, and on the first day of the seventh month, and on the first day of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and THE DAYS OF THE SEASONS IN THE FOUR DIVISONS of the year. These are written and ordained as a Witness forever.”

So, the first month is spring, the fourth month is summer, the seventh month is fall, and the tenth month is winter. All we have to do is add the 1 intercalary day to the end of each season and you will get 364 days. So the days in a month are 30, 30, 31 and it repeats.

 We see the first example of proof of there being 30 days in a month is found in Genesis.

Genesis 7:24

“And the waters were mighty on the earth, one hundred and fifty days.”

5 months X 30 days in a month= 150 days, so we have proof of a steady 30-day count and not a 29 or 29.5 day count based on the lunar calendars. YAHWEH uses perfect math for all of His calculations and makes it easier for His children to follow.

10 days are missing on the lunar calendar

One of the biggest eye openers is the fact that the solar calendar as outlined in Enoch, Jubilees, and the Aramaic Levi document attest to the year consisting of 364 days and the Lunar calendar as a total of 354 days so there are 10 missing that needs to be accounted for and the Book of Enoch and Jubilees explain this.

Sciencing.com says (Parenthesis mine)

“A lunar year has approximately 354 days. A solar year has 365 days (But we have shown from scripture it’s 364 not 365). This leaves an 11-day difference (10 according to scripture) between one solar year and one lunar year, resulting from the difference in their definitions. The term epact describes this specific time difference. Over the course of 33 years, there will be a lag of one year between solar and lunar calendars because of the successive epacts.”

So, science is very close to backing up the word of YAHWEH as they are off by one day, there are 364 days not 365. The point that I’m proving is that even based on their calculations there are days missing on the lunar calendar. So, let’s look at Enoch and Jubilees are other witnesses.

Enoch 74:9-17 (Parenthesis mine)

Solar calendar 364 days:

“Thus I saw their position: how the moon rose and the sun set in those days. And if five years are added together the sun has a surplus of thirty days, and all the days which accrue to it for one of those five years, when they are full, amount to THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOUR DAYS. And the surplus of the sun and of the stars amounts to six days: in five years, six days every year come to thirty days: and the moon FALLS BEHIND THE SUN AND STARS to the number of thirty days. And the SUN AND THE STARS (Not the moon) BRING IN ALL THE YEARS EXACTLY, so that they do not advance or delay their position by a single day to ETERNITY; but complete the years with PERFECT JUSTICE IN THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOUR DAYS. In three years there are one thousand ninety-two days (3 years divided into 1,092 days equals 364 days), and in five years there are one thousand eight hundred and twenty days (5 years divided into 1,820 days equals 364 days), so that in eight years there are two thousand nine hundred and twelve days (8 years divided into 2,912 days equals 364 days”

Lunar calendar: 354 days

“For THE MOON alone the days amount in three years to one thousand and sixty-two days (When you take three years and divide them into 1,062 days you get 354 days on lunar) And in five years there are one thousand seven hundred and seventy days, so that for the moon the days in eight years amount two thousand eight hundred and thirty two days (8 years divided into 2,832 gives you 354 days). For in eight years she falls behind to the amount of eighty days, all the days she FALLS BEHIND IN EIGHT YEARS ARE EIGHTY. And the year is accurately completed in conformity with their world stations and the stations of the SUN, which rise from the gates though which it the sun rises and sets THIRTY DAYS.”

We see the sun and the stars bring in the year exactly in 364 days and do not delay or advance their positions at all, not even a single day to eternity. However, we see the moon goes her own way and falls behind the sun and stars. So, if you follow the moon aka the lunar calendar the days will off because the moon DOES delay and advance her position unlike the sun and stars. And we see that the moon falls behind 80 days in 8 years, so 8 divided into 80 is 10 days, which shows that on the lunar calendar there are 10 days missing and the book of Jubilees will drive this point home.

Jubilees 6:32-38 (Parenthesis mine)

“And command the children of Yisra’el that they guard the years according to this reckoning: THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOUR DAYS, and these will constitute a COMPLETE YEAR, and they will not disturb its time from its days and from its feasts; for everything will fall out in them according to their witness, and they will not leave out ANY DAY (Which will happen using the lunar calendar missing 10 days) nor disturb any feasts. They will corrupt appointed times, and the years will be moved from this order, and they will disturb the appointed times and the years will be moved and they will corrupt their ordinances. And all the children of Yisra’el will forget and will not find the path of the years, and will forget the new months, and appointed times, and Shabbats and they will go wrong as to all the order of the years. For I now and now will I declare it to you, and its is not of my own heart, for the book is written before me, and is ordained on the heavenly tablets of the division of days; lest they forget the feasts of the covenant and walk in the feasts of the nations; after their ERROR and after their ignorance. For there will be those WHO EXAMINE THE MOON DILIGENTLY (Those following the lunar calendar and the new moons which we saw were off according to Enoch’s calculations) because it (the moon) WILL CORRUPT THE APPOINTED TIMES and it will advance from year to year, TEN DAYS. Therefore, the years will come to them as they corrupt and make an abominable day the day of witness, and an unclean day a feast day, and they will mix all the days, the holy with the unclean, and the unclean day with the holy; for they will go wrong as to the months and Shabbats and feasts and Jubilees. Therefore, I command and witness to you that you may witness to them; for after your death your children will be corrupted so that they will not make the year only THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-FOUR DAYS. Therefore they will go WRONG as to the months and appointed times and Shabbats and festivals, and they will eat all kinds of blood with all kinds of flesh.”

Notice how the messenger of YAHWEH says that those who follow the moon will miss 10 days? This is another witness to what Enoch showed us through his calculations of the 364 days on the solar calendar versus the 354 days on the lunar calendar. So, both Enoch and Jubilees confirm that those who follow the lunar calendar the phases of the moon will go astray to all the appointed times, because of the 10-day differential with the solar calendar. The messenger of YAHWEH warns to follow the solar calendar of 364 days and not the lunar calendar, which we see recorded in Enoch, Jubilees, and the Aramaic Levi Document.

Is it really translated New Moon?

All over the scriptures we read “New Moon” to establish the beginning of the new month, but is that what it actually says? The Hebrew word for the moon is “yareach” and you will be surprised to know that wherever you see the word “New Moon” the Hebrew word for moon “yereach” is not there! So how can it be the new moon when the Hebrew word for moon is not there? This should be very startling to the lunar calendar community. Example:

Genesis 37:9

“And he dreamed still another dream and related it to his brothers and said, “See, I have dreamed another dream, and see the sun and the moon and the eleven stars bowed down to me.”

When you look up the etymology for the word moon in this passage it is #H3394 which is yareach. Now let’s look at the etymology for the word “New Moon”.

Ezekiel 46:3

“Likewise the people of the land shall worship at the door of this gate before YAHWEH in the Shabbats and the in the new moons.”

The etymology for the word “new moon” is #H2320 which is “Chodesh” which means month or first day of the month. As we can see the word “New Moon” doesn’t even contain the Hebrew word “yareach” for moon anywhere and it’s a completely different word being used, and also matches the truth presented by Enoch and Jubilees.

Numbers 10:10

“And in the day of your gladness, and in your Appointed Times, and AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR MONTHS (Chodesh), you shall blow the trumpets…”

Numbers 28:11

“And on the BEGINNINGS OF YOUR MONTHS (Chodesh) you bring near a burnt offering to YAHWEH…”

Now it makes more sense how David knew that the next day was “Chodesh” meaning month or new month, because all he had to do was count 30 days to get to the next month and not look for moon slivers etc. on the lunar calendar. As we read:

1 Samuel 20:5

“And David said to Jonathan, “See, tomorrow is CHODESH (Month/New Month), and I ought to sit with the king to eat. But let me go and I shall hide in the field until the third day at evening.”

This scripture is a clear indicator that David was aware of the solar calendar that our ancestors followed and now that we have already discussed that the word “new moon” is not the correct translation we can determine that David was counting the days and knew that the 30 days in that month had ended; and the next day was the first day of the new month.

Psalm 81:3

“Blow the trumpet at the new month (CHODESH), in the appointed times, on our solemn feasts day.” Again, they translate it as New Moon but the etymology says Chodesh for month.

And we see this same pattern throughout the scriptures such as: 1 Chronicles 23:30-31, 2 Chronicles 2:4, 2 Chronicles 8:12-13, Nehemiah 10:32-33, 2 Kings 4:23, Amos 8:5, Isaiah 1:13-14, Isaiah 66:22-23 and Hosea 2:11.

 \I know that this will hard for many to accept because of the traditions we have been taught and practicing for years. I too, was one who walked in Judaism, but I must admit that it never felt right to me. So, I prayed and two years later I was shown this, so I encourage anyone who is having a hard time accepting the information I presented to take it to our Father YAHWEH in prayer.

I pray that this is helpful to many and that you can see the evidence that has been

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

Are you an ungrateful complainer?

Our Father YAHWEH is so good to us even when people think that He is not and yes this includes the atheists. The blessings are right in your face, but sadly many people take it for granted and take things that YAHWEH has given as if it were owed to them. We are underserving of what He has done for us, yet He loves us more than we can comprehend that He sent His only begotten Son YESHUA to die for us. We will discuss how YAHWEH feels about complaining and the ungrateful, what happens to the ungrateful, and make sure to always give thanks.

YAHWEH has given you the breath to wake up to go to work to make money to pay the bills, He has given you the ability to walk and raise your arms without you even having to think about it, but all of these get taken for granted. But sadly, with all of this many will grumble and complain against YAHWEH and speak evil of His goodness and love. People complain when it rains and say “Oh, how I wish the sun was out, I hate the rain!” Without rain you would not have water to drink and would die of dehydration? You need water to make that ice tea or coffee that the world loves to drink. Then when the sun comes out they say “Oh man it’s too hot outside!” The complaining never ends. If it was up to man we would have all four seasons at the same time and there would still be grumbling. Did you not know that complaining against what He has ordained and made good is an evil thing to do? How does YAHWEH feel about complaining and being ungrateful?

Exodus 15:23-25

“And they came to Marah, and they were unable to drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. So the name of it was called Marah. And the people GRUMBLED (Which means to complain about something in a bad-tempered way) against Moses, saying, What are we to drink? Then he cried out to YAHWEH, and YAHWEH showed him a tree. And when he threw it into the waters, the waters were made sweet.”

Despite the complaining in a bad-tempered way, YAHWEH provided water for them by making the bitter waters sweet. So that should have been enough to show the children of Yisra’el to stop complaining and realize that YAHWEH provides and to be grateful of Him sustaining them right? No! They continued in the next chapter as many do today. Whenever a new problem arises they complain and forget what YAHWEH has literally just done for them.

Exodus 16:2

“And ALL the congregation of the children of Yisra’el GRUMBLED (to complain about something in a bad-tempered way) against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. And the children of Yisra’el said to them, “If only we had died by the hand of YAHWEH in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to satisfaction! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to put all this assembly to death with hunger.” And 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.”

So we YAHWEH provide in Exodus 15 and Exodus 16 despite them being ungrateful, but immediately following those occurrences we see the exact same pattern in chapter 17.

Exodus 17:1-7

“And ALL the congregation of the children of Yisra’el departed on their journey from the Wilderness of Sin, according to the command of YAHWEH, and camped in Rephidim. And there was no water for the people to drink. Therefore the people strove (struggle or fight vigorously) with Moses, and said, “Give us water to drink.” And Moses said to them, “Why do you TRY YAHWEH?” And the people thirsted there for water and the people GRUMBLED (to complain about something in a bad-tempered way) against Moses, and said, “Why did you bring us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with thirst? Then Moses cried out to YAHWEH, saying, “What am I to do with this people? Yet a little and they shall stone me!” And YAHWEH said to Moses, “Pass over before the people, and take with you some of the elders of Yisra’el. And take in your hand your rod with which you struck the river, and go. “See, I am standing before you there on the rock in Horeb. And you shall smite the rock, and water shall come out of it, and the people shall drink.” And Moses did so before the eyes of the elders of Yisra’el. And he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the ‘strife’ of the children of Yisra’el, saying, “Is YAHWEH in our midst or not?”

Many TRY YAHWEH and put Him on trial as if that were possible to provide for them when He is already doing it, and has done it several times, but all He keeps hearing is complaints in every situation that comes up instead of trusting Him.

Numbers 11:1-4

“And it came to be, when the people were as COMPLAINERS, it was EVIL in the ears of YAHWEH. And YAHWEH heard it, and His DISPLEASURE BURNED. And the fire of YAHWEH burned among them, and consumed those in the outskirts of the camp. And the people cried out to Moses, and Moses prayed to YAHWEH, and the fire died down. Then he called the name of the place Tab’erah, because the fire of YAHWEH had burned among them. And the mixed multitude who were in their midst lusted greatly, so the children of Yisra’el also WEPT AGAIN and said. “Who is giving us meat to eat?”

Numbers 21:4-7

“And they departed from Mount Hor by the way of the Sea of Reeds, to go around the land of Edom. But the being of the people grew impatient because of the way. And the people spoke against ELOHIM and against Moses, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, AND OUR BEING LOATHES THIS LIGHT BREAD. (They loathed and complained about manna the bread of the angels they YAHWEH provided) And YAHWEH sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people. And many of the people of Yisra’el died. Then the people came to Moses, and said, “We have SINNED, for we have spoken against YAHWEH and against you. Pray to YAHWEH to take away the serpents from us.” So Moses prayed on behalf of the people.”

We see that YAHWEH hates it when people complain, especially because He is so good to us. The point is that people forget the goodness of YAHWEH and what He has done and then turn right around and grumble and complain, or the atheists of the world feel like YAHWEH’s provision was owed to them and blaspheme and curse Him by saying He doesn’t exist.

2 Esdras 7:22-23

“Nevertheless they were not obedient to Him; but SPOKE AGAINST HIM, and plotted in vain; and deceived themselves by their wicked deeds; and said of the Most High, that He did not exist; and did not know His ways.”

Numbers 14:27

“How long shall this evil congregation have this GRUMBLING against Me? I have heard the grumblings which the children of Yisra’el are GRUMBLING against Me.”

Enoch 1:9

“And see! He comes with ten thousands of His saints to execute judgment upon all, and to destroy all the wicked, and to convict all flesh of all the works of their wickedness which they have committed, and of ALL THE HARSH MATTERS WHICH WICKED SINNERS HAVE SPOKEN AGAINST HIM.”

Jude 1:14-16

“And Enoch, the seventh from Adam, also prophesied of these, saying, “See, YAHWEH comes with His myriads 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.” These are GRUMBLERS, COMPLAINERS, who walk according to their own lusts, and their MOUTH SPEAKS PROUDLY, admiring appearance for the sake of gain.

Enoch 5:4

“But you, you have not been steadfast, nor done the Commandments of YAHWEH, but you have turned away and SPOKEN PROUD AND HARSH WORDS WITH YOUR IMPURE MOUTHS AGAINST HIS GREATNESS. Oh, you hard-hearted! You shall find no peace.”

Luke 6:35

“Rather, love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. And your reward shall be great, and you shall be sons of the Most High. Because He (YAHWEH) is KIND TO THE THANKLESS AND WICKED ONES.”

Yet despite the complaining, grumbling, thankless, and wickedness of those who don’t follow His commandments, including atheist who do not acknowledge Him; YAHWEH still shows kindness and love to the ungrateful, they breathe fresh air, eat His food and drink His water without even giving it a second thought. Do you think this will go unpunished? This goes for both believers and non-believers because have both partaken in His goodness.

YAHWEH has provided food in abundance, just think of all the fishing from piers, boats, and commercial fishing, yet there is plenty of fish to go around and then some. The next time you eat a watermelon, honeydew, or cantaloupe look at all the thousands of seeds contained within it. One seed that was planted produces thousands of seeds so that you can eat and be satisfied. People can literally walk into a grocery store and buy groceries that a farmer has grown, which would not have been possible if YAHWEH did not bring forth His sun or bring the rains to make it all grow, the food did not just magically appear on the shelf for your enjoyment.

Once they are satisfied they forget YAHWEH!

Jubilees 1:7-9

“And write for yourself all these words which I declare to you today, for I know their rebellion and their stiff neck. Before I bring them into the land of which I swore to their ancestors, to Abraham and to Isaac and to Jacob, saying: To your seed I will give a land flowing with mild and honey. And they will EAT AND BE SATISFIED, and they will turn to strange elohim, to those who cannot deliver them from any of their affliction. And this witness shall be heard for a WITNESS against them. For they will forget all My commands even all that I commanded them, and they will walk after the nations, and after their uncleanness, and after their shame, and will serve their elohim, and these will become a stumbling block to them, and an affliction, and a torment, and a snare.”

As many will do today, once their stomachs are satisfied with food that YAHWEH has provided, they will go their own way forgetting the One who gave it! YAHWEH says they will turn to strange mighty ones, just think about it, how many are satisfied with YAHWEH’s provision of food and water and immediately turn to celebrate the pagan holidays of Christianity? It’s the exact same thing and qualifies as disobedience and being ungrateful!

Hosea 13:5-7

“I tended you as a shepherd in the wilderness, in an uninhabited land. According to their pastures so they were completely FILLED; and their hearts were exalted; therefore they FORGOT ME.”

Isaiah 44:13-17 (Septuagint)

“The carpenter having chosen a piece of wood, marks it out with a rule and fits it with glue and makes it as the form of man, and as the beauty of a man, to set it up in the house. He cuts wood out of the forest, which YAHWEH HAS PLANTED, even a pine tree and the RAIN MADE IT GROW, that it might be for men to burn: and having taken part of it he warms himself; yes, they burn part of it and bake loaves thereon; and from the rest they make for themselves elohim and they worship them. Half of it he burns in the fire and with half of it he bakes loaves on the coals; and having roasted flesh on it he eats and is SATISFIED and having WARMED HIMSELF HE SAYS, I AM COMFORTABLE, for I have warmed myself and have seen the fire. And the rest he makes a graven elohei and elohei.”

YAHWEH provides the wood and men make a fire to warm themselves and cook out or bake cakes upon the wood which YAHWEH planted and made it grow with His rain. Man turns around and forgets Him by making idols to worship with the very tree that He created, talk about being completely ungrateful! YAHWEH made the trees and man takes it and makes it into an xmas tree to worship it.

Isaiah 5:11-12

“Woe to those who rise early in the morning pursuing strong drink, who stay up late at night-wine inflames them! And the lyre and the harp, the tambourine and flute, and wine are in their feasts; but they do not regard the deeds of YAHWEH, nor see the work of His hands.”

They rose early to feast and drink wine and did not see that YAHWEH is the One who provided the food and the wine for them to drink, and not only did they not acknowledge Him, but they also abused what was given by getting drunk.

What happens to ungrateful?

Acts 14:12-17

“And they called Barnabas Zeus, and Paul-Hermes, since he was the chief speaker. And the priest of Zeus, being in front of their city, brought oxen and wreaths to the gates, and wanted to offer with the crowds. And when the emissaries Barnabas and Paul heard this, they tore their garments and ran in among the crowd, crying out and saying, “Men, why are you doing this? We also are men with the same nature as you, bringing to you the Good News: to turn from these worthless matters to the living ELOHIM, who made the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and all that is in them, who in the past generations allowed the nations to walk in their own ways, though, indeed, He did not leave Himself WITHOUT WITNESS, DOING GOOD-GIVING US RAIN FROM THE HEAVENS AND FRUIT-BEARING SEASONS, FILLING OUR HEARTS WITH FOOD AND GLADNESS.”

All the good that YAHWEH has done by providing the rain and food for everyone to eat will be used as a witness against those who reject Him, which ties perfectly in with the next scripture:

2 Esdras 9:9-12

“Then those who have ABUSED My Ways shall be in a wretched state; and those who have thrown them away in spite shall dwell in torture. For such have RECEIVED BENEFITS in their life, but have NOT KNOWN ME; and those who have loathed My Law, while they still had freedom, and when a place of repentance was still open to them, did not understand, but despised it; the same must acknowledge it in anguish after death.”

This is a vey powerful passage that needs to be broken down. YAHWEH says they have received His benefits in their life meaning the thankless, the complainers, the atheist all were given food, water, clothing and yet they did not acknowledge Him for all the good that He did. Then He says they loathed His laws and have not known Him, and how do we know Him?

1 John 2:3-4

“And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His Commands. The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His Commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”

And “even though they had freedom” meaning they had free-will to choose to give Him thanks and be obedient; however, they chose not to repent while they had a chance to do so, and being that they abused His ways and did not obey His commands they will dwell in torments after death.

Romans 1:20-21

“For since the creation of the world His invisibilities have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, both His everlasting power and mightiness, for them to be WITHOUT EXCUSE, because, although they knew ELOHIM, they did not esteem Him as ELOHIM, NOR GAVE THANKS, but became vain in their reasonings, and their undiscerning heart was darkened.”

No one on this earth will have an excuse for not giving thanks or accepting who YAHWEH is even though they have not seen Him, but His works are clearly seen by His entire creation. And from His beautiful creation He provides an abundance of what we need to survive so there will not be any reasons for not acknowledging Him or grumbling and complaining against Him.

Be grateful and give thanks!

Philippians 2:14

“Do all without grumblings and disputing’s; in order that you be blameless and faultless, children of ELOHIM without blemish in the midst of a crooked and corrupt generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world…”

1 Timothy 6:6-8

“But reverence with contentment is great gain. For we brought naught into the world, and it is impossible to take any out. When we have food and covering, we shall be satisfied with these.”

Sirach 29:21

“The necessities for life are water, and bread, and garments, and a house for privacy.”

Sirach 39:26-27

“The basic necessities for the whole use of man’s life are: water, fire, iron, and salt, flour of wheat, honey, milk, and the juice of grapes, and oil, and garments. All these are for good to the righteous.”

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

“Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in all give thanks, for this is the desire of ELOHIM in Messiah YESHUA for you.”

Philippians 4:11-13

“Not that I speak concerning need, for I have learned to be content in whatever state I am. I know what it is to have in excess. In any and all, have learned both to be filled, and to be hungry, both to have in excess, and to be in need. I have strength to do all, through Messiah who empowers me.”

Brothers and sisters let today be the day you stop complaining and grumbling and remember all the blessings that our Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA has provided for you. Remember that you are not obligated to receive this, but it is out of His love for you! Give our ELOHIM praises at ALL times for He is worthy to be praised!

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

Genesis 49: Jacob’s prophecy of YESHUA!

Continuing with the theme from last week concerning how many have been falling away from the faith and denouncing YESHUA and the New Testament, I wanted to offer more proof from the Old Testament found in Genesis proving that YESHUA is who He says He is. We will begin by looking at the text from the Masoretic and then compare it to the Septuagint to get a clearer meaning.

Genesis 49:8-10 (Masoretic)

“You, Yehudah (Judah), your brothers praise you; your hand is on the neck of your enemies; your father’s children bow down before you. Judah is a lion’s cub; from the prey you have gone up, my son! He bowed down, he crouched like a lion. And like a lion, who rouses him? The scepter shall not turn aside from Judah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to Him is the obedience of peoples.”

Genesis 49:8-10 (Septuagint)

“Yehudah (Judah) your brothers have praised you and your hands shall be on the back of your enemies; your father’s sons shall honor you. Judah is a lion’s cub: from the tender plant, my son you have gone up, having couched you lie as a lion as a cub; who shall stir him up? A RULER shall not fail from JUDAH nor PRINCE (KING) from his thighs, until there comes the things stored up for Him; and He is the EXPECTATION OF THE (NATIONS) GENTILES.”

We can see in the Septuagint version that the prophecy of YESHUA was clear that from the tribe of Judah there would not fail to be a Ruler/King and that this Ruler would be the expectation to the gentiles. This ties into another prophecy by the prophet Micah that matches what Jacob said.

YESHUA a King from Judah

Micah 5:2 (Parenthesis mine)

“And you Beyt Lehem (City YESHUA was born), house of Ephrathah, are few in number to be reckoned among the thousands of Yehudah (Judah); yet out of you one shall come out to me, to be a RULER of Yisra’el; and his goings out were from the beginning, even from the days of eternity.”

The prophecy of Micah shows the divinity of YESHUA that He is the Aramaic word “The Miltha” The Physical Manifestation of YAHWEH and the Substance of YAHWEH Who existed from the very beginning before the creation of the world and shows that He would become flesh. David understood that there would be a ruler of from his bloodline from his tribe of Judah to sit on the throne as Jacob prophesied over Judah because YAHWEH promised Him this, which means that YESHUA would descend from him to fill this prophecy:

2 Samuel 7:16-29

“And your house and your reign are to be steadfast FOREVER before you- your throne is established FOREVER. According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David. And King David went in and sat before YAHWEH and he said, “Who am I, O Master YAHWEH? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far? And yet this was a small matter in Your eyes, O Master YAHWEH. And You have also spoken of Your servant’s house FOR A GREAT WHILE TO COME. And is this the teaching of man, O Master YAHWEH? And what more does David say to You? For You, My Master YAHWEH, know Your servant. Verse 25 “And now, O YAHWEH ELOHIM, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish it forever and do as You have said. And let Your Name be made great forever, saying, ‘YAHWEH Sabaoth is the ELOHIM over Yisra’el.’ And let the house of Your Servant David be established before You. For You, O YAHWEH Sabaoth (Hosts), the ELOHIM of Yisra’el, have revealed this to Your servant saying, ‘I build you a house.’ Therefore, Your servant has taken heart to pray this prayer to You. And now, O My Master YAHWEH, You are ELOHIM, and your words are true, and You have spoken this goodness to Your Servant. And now, be pleased to bless the house of Your servant, to be before You, FOREVER. For You, O My Master YAHWEH, have spoken it, and with your blessings let the house of Your servant be blessed forever.”

Acts 13:22-23

“And having removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave witness and said, “I have found David the son of Jessie, a man after My own heart, who shall do all My desires.” From this one’s seed according to the promise, YAHWEH raised up for Yisra’el a Savior YESHUA.”

We see that YAHWEH established the house of David forever and of course David would not live forever, so this was a prophecy of our Messiah who would be King, which is why Ezekiel uses the colorful language to explain this end times prophecy:

Ezekiel 37:24

“And My servant David (YESHUA) shall be a Prince (KING) in the midst of them: there shall be one Shepherd for them all, for they shall walk in my decrees and keep my judgements and do them, and they shall  dwell in their land, which I have given to my servant Jacob, where their ancestors dwelt; and they shall dwell on it; and David (YESHUA) my Servant shall be their KING FOREVER. And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; and I will establish My sanctuary in the midst of them FOREVER. And My tabernacle shall be among them; and I will be to them ELOHIM and they shall be My people. And the nations shall know that I am YAHWEH that sanctifies them, when My Sanctuary is in the midst of them forever.”

Mathew 1:1

“The book of the genealogy of YESHUA HA’MASHIACH, Son of David, Son of Abraham…”

Here we see Mathew connects YESHUA to the lineage of David from the tribe of Judah showing that He is the rightful heir to the throne by calling Him the Son of David as YAHWEH promised him; and saying YESHUA is the Son of Abraham connects Him to being a Hebrew.

Luke 1:31-33

“And see, you shall conceive in your womb, and shall give birth to a Son, and call His Name YESHUA. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High. And YAHWEH ELOHIM shall give Him the THRONE OF HIS ANCESTOR DAVID. And He shall reign over the house of Jacob FOREVER, and there shall be NO END TO HIS REIGN.”

Revelation 22:16

“I, YESHUA, have sent My messenger to witness these to you in the assemblies. I am the Root and the Offspring of DAVID, the Bright and Morning Star.”

Revelation 5:5-9

“And one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. See, the Lion of the tribe of JUDAH, the Root of DAVID, overcame to open the scroll and to loosen its seven seals. And I looked and saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders a Lamb standing, as having been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are seven Spirits of ELOHIM sent out into all the earth. And He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him sitting on the throne. And when He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a renewed song, saying, “You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals, because You were slain, and have redeemed us to YAHWEH by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, and made us kings and priests to our ELOHIM, and we shall reign upon the earth.”

Psalm 45:6-7

“Your throne, O ELOHIM, is forever and ever; the scepter of Your reign is a scepter of straightness. You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore ELOHIM, Your ELOHIM has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than our companions.”

Hebrews 1:5-9

“For to which of the messengers did He ever say, “You are My Son, today I have begotten You? An again, “I shall be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a son? And when he again brings the First-Begotten into the world, He says, “Let all the messengers of YAHWEH do reverence to Him.” And of the messengers indeed He says, “Who is making His messengers spirits and His servants a flame of fire.” But to the Son, “Your THRONE, O ELOHIM, is forever and ever, a scepter of straightness is the scepter of Your reign. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Because of this, YAHWEH, Your ELOHIM, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.”

Daniel 7:13

“I saw in the night vision and look, one coming with the clouds of heaven (See Mathew 26:64) as the Son of Man and He approached The Ancient of Days and was brought near to Him. And to Him was given the dominion and the honor and the KINGDOM; and all nations, tribes, and languages, shall serve Him: His dominion is an EVERLASTING dominion, which shall not pass away and His Kingdom shall not be destroyed.”

The prophecy of Jacob spoken back in Genesis 49 was all concerning YESHUA the Son of YAHWEH who will sit on the throne forever!

Light to the gentiles and He is the EXPECTATION OF THE (NATIONS) GENTILES

The other part of the prophecy that Jacob mentions outside of YESHUA being King is that He is the expectation of the nations/gentiles, meaning that His mission is to bring all people and nations to the truth and give them hope and salvation of the One true living ELOHIM, which would be through His blood drawing all unto Himself. And that they would walk in His Light and see this revelation. The beautiful thing is that we already see the gentiles being grafted into the nation of Yisra’el in the Old Testament. Ruth the Moabite, Caleb the Kezzinite, Elijah the Tishbite, Tamar the Caanite, etc. We also see the gentiles joining with Yisra’el in Exodus:

Exodus 12:37, 48-50 (Septuagint)

“And the children of Yisra’el having departed from Ramses to Sukkot, to the full number of 600,000 footmen, even men besides the baggage. And a GREAT MIXED COMPANY (Gentiles) went up with them and sheep and oxen and very much cattle.” Verse 48-50“And if any proselyte 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; no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. There shall be one Torah to the native and to the proselyte coming among you. And the children of Yisra’el did as YAHWEH commanded Moses and Aaron for them, so they did.

Now through YESHUA the entire world would be able to receive the RUACH HA’KODESH if they believe; and have repentance unto life as we know that YESHUA died for the world.

Galatians 3:26-29

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

Light to gentiles

Luke 2:29-32

“Now let Your servant go in peace, O My Master, according to Your word, for my eyes have seen Your deliverance, which You have prepared before the face of all the peoples, A LIGHT FOR THE UNVEILING OF THE GENTILES, and the esteem of Your people Yisra’el.”

Isaiah 42:6 (Septuagint)

“I YAHWEH have called You in righteousness and will hold your hand and will strengthen You and I have given You the covenant of a race, for A LIGHT OF THE GENTILES.”

Isaiah 49:6 (Septuagint)

“And He said to me, it is a great thing for You to be called My Servant, to establish the tribes of Jacob and to recover the dispersion of Yisra’el: see, I have given to You the covenant a race, as a LIGHT OF THE GENTILES, that you should be as salvation to the end of the earth.”

What is light?

Proverbs 6:23

“For the command is a lamp, and the Torah a LIGHT.”

John 3:19-21

“And this is the judgement, that the Light (YESHUA/TORAH) has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light (TORAH), for their works were wicked (Lawlessness). For everyone who is practicing evil hates the Light and does not come to the Light, lest his works should be exposed (Lawlessness). But the one doing the truth comes to the Light, so that his works are clearly seen, that they have been wrought in ELOHIM.”

John 8:12

“Therefore YESHUA spoke to them again, saying “I am the LIGHT of the world. He who follows Me shall by no means walk in darkness (lawlessness) but possess the light of life.”

This means that the gentiles would see the truth of YESHUA who is the Light aka The Living Torah and would have to walk just as the native-born obeying the commands of Torah, because the native-born were disobedient to YAHWEH, so He sent salvation to the gentiles because they would listen. Which is further evidence that the gentiles grafted in are not called to walk in darkness (law done away with) but to walk in the light (Torah the guidelines of instructions which Christianity calls the Law.)

Deuteronomy 32:21

“They made Me jealous by what is not EL, they provoked Me with their worthlessness. But I make them jealous by those who are no people, I provoke them with a foolish nation (gentiles).

2 Esdras 1:24, 35-37

“What shall I do unto you, O Jacob? You, Judah, would not OBEY ME. I shall turn Myself to other nations (gentiles) and to them I shall give My NAME, THAT THEY MAY GUARD MY LAWS. Verse 35 I shall give your houses to a people that shall come (gentiles) who having not yet heard of Me, SHALL BELIEVE ME; to whom I have showed no signs, YET THEY SHALL DO WHAT I HAVE COMMANDED THEM.” They have seen no prophets, yet they call their sins to remembrance (repentance) and acknowledge them. I call to witness the favor of the people to come, whose little ones rejoice in gladness, and though they have not seen Me with bodily eyes, yet in spirit they believe the Word that I say.”

Acts 13:46-48

“But speaking boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, “It was necessary that the Word of ELOHIM should be spoken to you first (Jews), but since you thrust it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, see, we turn to the GENTILES. For so the Master has commanded us, ‘I have appointed you to be a LIGHT TO THE GENTILES, that you should be for deliverance to the ends of the earth.” And when the gentiles heard this they were GLAD and praised the Word of YAHWEH. And as many as had been appointed to everlasting life believed.”

Acts 26:22-23

“Therefore, having obtained help from ELOHIM to this day I stand witnessing both to small and great, saying nil else than what the Prophets and Moses said would come- that HA’MASHIACH would suffer, would be the first to rise from the dead, He would proclaim LIGHT (TORAH) TO THE PEOPLE AND TO THE GENTILES.”

Enoch 48:2-6

“And at that hour the Son of Man was named in the presence of the Master Spirits, and His name before the Head of Days. Yes, before the sun and the signs were created, before the stars of the heaven were made, His Name was named before the Master of Spirits. He will be a staff to the righteous on which to steady themselves and not fall, and He will be THE LIGHT OF THE NATIONS, and the hope of those who are troubled in heart. All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before Him, and will praise and bless and celebrate the Master of Spirits with song. And for this reason He has been chosen and hidden before Him, before the creation of the world and forevermore.”

In conclusion we see that from the writings of Enoch that YESHUA was already prophesied to be the light to the gentiles from the very beginning, so Jacob was just speaking what was to happen through his son Judah’s lineage, that YESHUA the Son of YAHWEH would be King and a light to the gentiles. All proving again that all must accept YESHUA because the Old Testament is filled with prophecies concerning YESHUA!

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

Prophecy of YESHUA fulfilled: Isaiah 50!

It appears that there is a great falling away occurring as many are denouncing YESHUA, doubting His existence, His divinity, and others outright rejecting the New Testament. This is the time we need to be standing strong in the faith with everything that is going on in the world, because that means we are one step closer to the return of YESHUA and I don’t want to see those who rejected Him or those who once knew Him but denounced Him realize they were wrong. I have already done many messages concerning YESHUA and who He is and I felt led to share another prophecy contained in Isaiah 50.

If you believe in the Old Testament and have rejected the New Testament, I would like to show just from these three verses of YESHUA’s fulfillment of them in the New Testament.

Isaiah 50:4-7 (Septuagint)

“My Master YAHWEH gives Me the tongue of instruction, to know when it is fit to speak a word: He has appointed Me early, He has given Me an ear to hear: and the instruction of YAHWEH even YAHWEH, opens My ears and I do not disobey nor dispute. I gave My back to scourges and My cheeks to blows; and I did not turn away My face from the shame of spitting: But My Master YAHWEH became My helper; therefore I was not ashamed, but I set My face as a solid rock; and I know that I shall never be ashamed…”

When we break these verses down, we can see the fulfillment of them in the New Testament from prophecies that Isaiah wrote 700 years before YESHUA became flesh and walked the earth. And what is truly beautiful is that the One speaking in these passages is YESHUA Himself!

Verse 4 Tongue of Instruction

“My Master YAHWEH gives Me the tongue of instruction, to know when it is fit to speak a word…”

We actually see this prophecy first mentioned in the Torah which YAHWEH revealed to Moses in Deuteronomy which matches what Isaiah wrote:

Deuteronomy 18:18

“I shall raise up for them a Nabi (Prophet) like you out of the midst of their brothers (Tribe of Judah). And I shall PUT MY WORDS IN HIS MOUTH, AND HE SHALL SPEAK THEM ALL THAT I COMMAND HIM.”

Acts 3:22-23

“For Moses truly said to the ancestors, ‘YAHWEH your ELOHIM shall raise up for you a Prophet like me from your brothers (Tribe of Judah). Him you shall hear according to all of what He says to you. And it shall be that every being who does not hear that Prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among the peoples.”

Whoever does not listen to the words of YESHUA will be destroyed because they have rejected the life giving words spoken to Him from His Father YAHWEH! This is the tongue of instruction He was referring to written in Isaiah and we have other witnesses confirming this:

John 12:49-50

“Because I (YESHUA) spoke NOT FROM MYSELF, but the Father who sent Me has given ME A COMMAND, WHAT I SHOULD SAY AND WHAT SHOULD SPEAK. And I know that His Command is everlasting life. Therefore, WHATEVER I SPEAK, AS THE FATHER HAS SAID TO ME, SO I SPEAK.”

John 6:38

“Because I have come down out of the heavens, NOT to do My OWN DESIRE, but the desire of Him who sent Me.”

John 8:28

“So YESHUA said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you shall know that I am He, and that I do naught of Myself, but as My Father TAUGHT Me, these I speak.”

John 14:20-24

“In that day you shall know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who possesses My Commands and guards 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.” Judah-not the one from Qeriyoth-said to Him, “My Master, what has come about that You are about to manifest Yourself to us, and not the world? YESHUA answered him, “if anyone loves Me, he shall guard My word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our stay with him. He who does not love Me does not guard My Words. AND THE WORD WHICH YOU HEAR IS NOT MINE BUT OF THE FATHER WHO SENT ME.”

John 3:36

“He who believes in the Son possesses everlasting life, but he who does not OBEY the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of ELOHIM remains on him.”

If you don’t obey the words of YESHUA and obey them, then you have rejected the words of His Father YAHWEH Who gave Him those words to speak that lead to ever lasting life.

He has given Me an ear to hear: and the instruction of YAHWEH

John 5:19-20, 30

“Therefore YESHUA responded and said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is able to do naught by Himself, but only what which He sees the Father doing, because whatever He does, the Son also does likewise. For the Father loves the Son, and shows Him all that He Himself does. And greater works than these He is going to show Him, in order that you marvel. Verse 30 “Of Myself I am able to do naught. As I hear, I judge, and My judgement is righteous, because I do not seek My own desire, but the desire of the Father who sent Me.”

Verse 5 Opens My ears and I do not disobey nor dispute

John 8:28-29

“So YESHUA said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you shall know that I am He, and that I do naught of Myself, but as My Father taught Me, these I speak. And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I ALWAYS DO WHAT PLEASES HIM.” As He was speaking these words, many believed in Him.”

Mathew 26:36-39

“Then YESHUA came with them to a place called Gath Shemen, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zabdai, and He began to be grieved and deeply distressed. Then He said to them, “My being is exceedingly grieved, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.” And going forward a little, he fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I desire, but as You desire.”

Philippians 2:5-8

“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, 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.”

YESHUA being ELOHIM in the flesh never disobeyed nor disputed with His Father YAHWEH, instead He was always obedient and did what pleased Him even unto death and as Paul said that is a matter to be grasped, because we cannot fathom that kind of love that the Creator would die for us.

Verse 6 I gave My back to scourges and My cheeks to blows; and I did not turn away My face from the shame of spitting!

I gave My back to scourges

Mathew 27:24-26

“And when Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but rather an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this Righteous One. You shall see to it.” And all the people answering said, “His blood be on us and on our children.” Then he released Barabba to them, but having YESHUA WHIPPED, he delivered Him over to be impaled.”

Mark 15:15

“And Pilate, wanted to satisfy the crowd released Barabba to them, and having WHIPPED, he delivered YESHUA over to be impaled.”

My cheeks to blows:

Luke 22:63-64

“And the men who were holding YESHUA were mocking Him, beating Him. And having blindfolded Him, they were STRIKING Him on the face and were asking Him, saying, “Prophesy! Who is it that struck You?”

John 18:19-23

“Then the high priest asked YESHUA about His disciples and His teaching. YESHUA answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in the congregation and in the Sanctuary, where the Jews always meet, and I spoke naught in secret. Why do you ask Me? Ask those who have heard Me what I said to them. See, they know what I said.” And when He had said this, one of the officers who stood by SLAPPED YESHUA in the face, saying, “Do You answer the high priest this way?” YESHUA answered him, “If I have spoken evilly, bear witness of the evil, but if well, why do you STRIKE ME?

John 19:3

“And the soldiers plaited a crown of thorns and placed it on the His head, and they put a purple robe on Him, and came to Him and said, “Greetings, King of the Jews!” And they SLAPPED Him in the face.”

Shame of spitting:
Mathew 26:65-67

“Then the high priest tore his garments, saying, “He has blasphemed! Why do we need any more witnesses? See, now you have heard His blasphemy! What do you think?” And they answering, said, “He is liable to death.” Then they SPAT in His face and beat Him, and others slapped Him…”

Mathew 27:30

“And SPITTING on Him they took the reed and struck Him on the head.”

Mark 15:18-19

“And they began to call out to Him, “Greetings, King of the Jews! And they kept beating Him on the head with a reed and were SPITTING on Him. And bending the knee, they were bowing down to Him.”

Verse 7 But My Master YAHWEH became My helper And I know that I shall never be ashamed

John 8:28-29

“So YESHUA said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you shall know that I am He, and that I do naught of Myself, but as My Father taught Me, these I speak. And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father HAS NOT LEFT ME ALONE, for I ALWAYS DO WHAT PLEASES HIM.” As He was speaking these words, many believed in Him.”

Acts 2:26-36

“For this reason my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad, and now my flesh shall also rest in expectation, because You shall not leave my being in the grave, nor shall You give Your Kind One to see corruption. You have made known to me the Ways of life, You shall fill me with joy in Your presence.’ “Men and brothers, let me speak boldly to you of the ancestor David, that he died and was buried, and his tomb is with us this day. Being a prophet, then, and knowing that ELOHIM had sworn with an oath to him: of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, to raise up HA’MASHIACH to sit on his throne, for-seeing this he spoke concerning the resurrection of HA’MASHICAH, that His being was neither left in the grave, nor did His flesh see corruption. YAHWEH has raised up this YESHUA, of which we are all witnesses. Therefore, having been exalted to the right hand of YAHWEH, and having received from the Father the promise of the RUACH HA’KODESH, He poured out this which you now see and hear. For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself said, ‘YAHWEH said to My Master, “Sit at My right hand, until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.” “Therefore let all the house of Yisra’el know for certain that YAHWEH has made this YESHUA, whom you impaled both Master and Messiah.”

Acts 13:34-37

“And that He raised Him out of the dead, no more to return to corruption, He has said thus, ‘I shall give you the trustworthy kindnesses of David. For this reason He also says in another Psalm, ‘You shall not give Your Kind One to see corruption. For David, indeed, having served his own generation by the counsel of ELOHIM, fell asleep, was buried with his ancestors, and saw corruption, but He whom YAHWEH raised up saw no corruption.”

YAHWEH was YESHUA’s helper by strengthening Him to endure the persecution and death for the forgiveness of sins; and YESHUA defeated death by being raised up on the third day and was not put to shame. YAHWEH exalted Him as He now sits at His right-hand, and one day we will see YESHUA coming on the clouds of the heavens and we will see the esteem that He had with the Father before the foundation of the world as He prayed in John 17.

You have to ask yourself, what are the odds of the words that Isaiah wrote 700 years before YESHUA happening exactly as it was written? If YESHUA does not exist, then how was He the One speaking in those verses before He became flesh? That is because the Word of YAHWEH is living and true and His word will always come to pass. So, accept the New Testament as well as the old and give your life to YESHUA and repent if you have not already.

Isaiah 46:10 (Septuagint)

“Telling BEFOREHAND the latter events before they come to pass and they are accomplished together: and I said, all My counsel shall stand and I will do all things that I have planned…”

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

Wives submit to your husbands!

Sirach 26:23

“A wicked woman is given as a portion to a wicked man; but a reverent woman is given to him who reveres YAHWEH.”

Please listen or read this entire message before getting offended to see what the scriptures have to say on the topic. I know many will not like this message or get offended by the title alone, but let those who have hears to hear, let them hear. My goal has always been to speak scriptural truth and not my own opinion and back it up with several witness of scripture. And there are many scriptures that we will be covering today.

We will discuss scriptures about the role of a man and the role of a woman. Also, should women submit to their husbands? Should women be leaders? Should a woman be quarreling with her husband? I believe discussing this topic will help to build for better marriages or for those who will become future wives by defining roles as outlined in scripture and not allow Satan to gain a foothold in these marriages; because once the roles have been reversed you have just given Satan legal grounds to come in and destroy the marriage. This must be discussed because this topic gets avoided because of the hate that will come their way, after many years of deliberate conditioning and programming of women today to get them to act like the world. Why do you think the TV programs are pushing so hard for the feminist movement and role reversal?  TV pushes this role reversal as the right thing to do just as they do with homosexuality, cussing, and many other things that goes against scripture.

It seems most know what to expect out of a man, but the topic of women has been swept under the rug because you will be viewed as a dictator or a chauvinist. These tactics employed by the feminist movement has won over the masses and don’t see the Jezebel spirit disguised underneath it. During the days of the Bible this topic was not an issue at all because men and women understood what was expected, but over the years those waters have been muddied with lies and called what YAHWEH made good, evil.

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!”

Remember what Satan wants to destroy the natural order of things and get the world to obey him and not YAHWEH!

Revelation 12:9

“And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old called the Devil (Aramaic says Deceiver) and Satan, who LEADS ALL THE WORLD ASTRAY. He was thrown to the earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him.”

Because it’s Satan’s plan to destroy the hierarchy that YAHWEH set in place.

 This does not apply to women who already know the scriptures and have applied it to their lives. There are many women who have put their pride aside to obey the truth of the scriptures. But for those who have been deceived by the feminist movement, those who are argumentative, non-submissive, rebellious are being led astray by the western culture and not the Hebraic culture/mindset having one foot in the world and it’s view of marriage but yet claiming to know YAHWEH and walking with His Son YESHUA! This is about women who refuse to submit a man as it is written in the scriptures; and yes, even women who have disobedient husbands who are not walking in Torah as they know they should, you are to submit yourself to your husband so that you win him over by your righteous behavior and with prayer as Peter who walked with YESHUA says:

1 Peter 3:1 (Parenthesis mine)

“In the same way, wives submit to your own husbands, so that if any are disobedient to the Word (Not walking in righteousness), they without a word (through your actions), might be won by the behavior of their wives, having seen your blameless behavior in reverence.”

The world has gotten so far removed from YAHWEH’s word that these roles have been reversed and accepted. It should not be so with those of us walking in covenant with ELOHIM.

There are many women who follow YESHUA and observe Torah and say then want to be the Proverbs 31 woman, yet when it comes to the passages that I will discuss today many will get offended and feel like they are lesser than or want to ignore these scriptures all together! It reminds me of the way Christian’s react when they hear the word “law” they immediately get defensive and close their ears to the truth. In order to become that Proverbs 31 woman there must be obedience to the scriptures first. I get that some women were mistreated in their past relationships, but so have men. Neither should have the right to bring that baggage into the marriage, because if your spouse is truly walking with YESHUA then you should trust them not to act like someone in the world.

No one within in the Body of Messiah looks at a man as weak when he submits to YESHUA, so why is a woman submitting to a man frowned upon by women who say they are walking with YESHUA?  Remember the strongest person in the world is the one who can submit! YESHUA is The Son of YAHWEH, yet He submitted to the Father for our sakes! YESHUA said Himself that He could have called 12 Legions of angels to assist Him, but He did not call them, He acted in humility and obedience to the Father and our walk should be no different than His; otherwise, we would not have the forgiveness of sins if He chose to rebel.

Mathew 26:53

“Or do you think that I am not able to pray to My Father now, and He shall provide Me with more than twelve legions of messengers?”

 And to be clear this message is out of love so that we walk in the fullness of YAHWEH’s Word; so, before anyone takes my words out of context, a woman submitting to a man does not mean that the husband is running around with a whip and making commands towards his wife treating like a slave in chains, abusing her, yelling at her, ignoring her, not listening to her, demeaning her or being unfaithful to her in any way! A situation where she is a slave and not a wife saying things like make my dinner and wash the dishes too! While he sits back and gets drunk, hangs out with friends smoking weed (I’m completely against smoking weed, just making a statement from what I hear) and playing XBOX all day, that is not why I’m saying at all! Because I see nothing wrong with a man helping to cook and clean. I say this firmly, men, if you have a good wife who is walking in obedience to the scriptures DO NOT TAKE HER FOR GRANTED. A man is supposed to love his wife and respect her as Peter says in:

1 Peter 3:7

“In the same way, husbands, live understandingly together, giving respect to the wife, as to the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the favor of life, so that your prayers are not hindered.”

Colossians 3:19

“Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.”

The word bitter is the Greek word “pikraino (pe-kri-no) which means render anger or irritated.

We simply need to establish the order first before anything else can happen. The same way YESHUA submitted to YAHWEH so we can be forgiven, the same way a man submits to YESHUA with all humility is what should happen with the woman, then the others will fall into place. We must address the rebellion that is occurring first.

Role of a man?

The man must firstly be committed and submitted fully to YESHUA, he should be setting the example by praying, reading scripture, studying scripture, and applying the scriptures, so that he can lead the woman and children in the ways of YAHWEH!

Genesis 18:19

“And YAHWEH said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, since Abraham is certainly going to become 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.”

Deuteronomy 6:6-7

“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…”

The man is the voice of authority where he commands the household to walk in YAHWEH’s ways and teach His commands and laws to the family. He is the leader, provider and protector; he makes the decisions in the house, but that does not mean he won’t take his wife’s advice or ask her opinion. He is to have a vision and lay out the steps towards that goal and explain them to the wife so she does not become fearful of the unknown of a man who has no vision or goals at all, this way she can back you, support you, and pray for you.

And if he is in ministry and always working to help others then he doesn’t have to stop help others and being selfless, he just has to find the proper balance of being there for others, yet not neglect or disrespect his wife by not making time for her. Although, a loving wife who understands your calling will back and support your calling and not become bitter, there must be balance and she is not to be neglected but loved and shown love. A man who is led by the RUACH HA’KODESH will do YAHWEH’s will with the vison He has been given and the woman will help the man fulfill that vision with her creativity and nurturing gifts, this way you complement each other within the guidelines of scripture.

The man is the esteem of ELOHIM, so he is a representative of YESHUA which means He is to lead, love, protect, and not be a hypocrite, he is to lead by example.

Jubilees 3:15-16

“And in the first week of the first jubilee, Adam and his wife were in the Garden of Eden for seven years serving and guarding it, and we gave HIM WORK and we instructed him to do everything that is suitable for serving. And HE served the garden, and was naked, an did not know it, and was not ashamed. And HE PROTECTED the garden from the birds and beasts  and cattle, and GATHERED THE FRUIT, and ate, and put aside the remainder for HIMSELF AND FOR HIS WIFE, and PUT ASIDE THAT WHICH WAS BEING KEPT.”

We see that Adam was working in the field tilling the ground and protecting it as would be protecting his wife; and he provided fruit from the garden and brought it home for his wife Eve to eat. So we see the role of a man right here in the Garden of Eden.

Provide is spelled in the Otiot as (Beyt, Hey, Yad)

Yad means to work, throw, worship, actions

Hey means look, reveal, breath, behold

Beyt means family, house, In

A man works and looks to take care of his house and family.

Ephesians 5:25-31

“Husbands, love your wives, as Messiah also loved the assembly and gave Himself for it, in order to sanctify it, and cleanse it with the washing of water by the Word, in order to present it to Himself a splendid assembly, not having spot or wrinkle or any of this sort, but that it might be holy and blameless. In this way husbands ought to love their own wives as THEIR OWN BODIES. He who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but feeds and cherishes it, as also the Master does the assembly. Because we are members of His Body, of His flesh and of His bones. For this cause a man shall leave his dad and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.”

 Men are to love their wives as YESHUA loves Assembly, men are to respect their wives and not speak harshly to them and provide and protect and lead them.

Tobiyah 9:7-8

“And now, O YAHWEH, I do not take this my sister (his wife Sarah) for a whore, but uprightly; therefore, favorably allow that we may grow old together.” And she said with him, “Ahmein.”

Role of a woman?

Genesis 2:18

“And YAHWEH ELOHIM said, “It is not good for the man to be alone, I am going to make a HELPER for him, as his counterpart.”

Genesis 2:20

“So the man gave names to all livestock, and to the birds of the heavens, and to every beast of the field. But for the man there was not found a HELPER for him, as his counterpart.”

Jubilees 3:4

“And YAHWEH said to us, “It is not good that the man should be alone: let us make a HELPMEET for him.”

Tobiyah 8:5-7

“Then Tobi began to say, “Blessed are You, O ELOHIM of our ancestors, and blessed is Your holy and esteemed Name forever. Let the heavens bless You, and all Your creation. “You made Adam, and gave him Eve his wife for a HELPER and SUPPORT; from them came mankind. You have said, “It is not good for man to be alone, let Us make for him a HELPER as his counterpart.”

1 Corinthians 11:9

“For man is not from woman, but woman from man. For man also was not created for the woman, but woman for the man.”

The word helper in Hebrew is strong’s #H228 “ezer” which means to help, one who helps, aids. The Otiot (signs) which is the ancient Hebrew spells helper as Resh, zayin, ayin (Hebrew reads from right to left)

Ayin means to watch or know

Zayin means food, cut, nourish, plowing tool

Resh means first, top, beginning, thoughts

Putting them together we get a woman is a helper who watches over her husband and household, to nourish him and children, and pray for the weaknesses in your husband to be cut so that they become strengths. Nurture means to care for and encourage the growth or development of.

And this is done through prayer and not through your own strength of trying to nag or argue with him, remember Peter said that you may win him over with your behavior. She is also there to support her husband as it is written in Tobiyah, not to tear him down, but to build him up because she is a nurturer as most women naturally are and to help with the children with instruction:

Proverbs 1:8

“My son, heed the discipline of your dad, and do not forsake the Torah (guidelines and instructions) of your mother.”

The man provides the seed, and the woman births the children and nurtures them. Having children was something that women cherished in scripture as we see the many examples of barren women who longed for children, because it’s part of their design. In Genesis we see what YAHWEH said the man would provide by work and the woman would bring forth children even though it would be in pain as punishment for eating the fruit, but the point is she is still to bring forth children.

Genesis 3:16

“To the woman He said, “I greatly increase your sorrow and your conception-bring forth children in pain…”

1 Timothy 2:16

“But she shall be saved in childbearing if they continue in belief, and love, and sanctified, with sensibleness.”

Titus 2:3-5 (The Holy Aramaic Scriptures)

“And thus also, the Qashishatha (The female elders);  that they should be in the character which is proper to the reverence of ELOHIM, not being feeders of gossip, and not being subjected to much wine, and to be teachers of good things, such as modesty for the young girls, and to love their husbands and their sons, and to be sober and holy, to be careful to make good homes, and be subjected to their husbands, so that no man might blaspheme concerning The Word of ELOHIM.”

The female elders must be righteously walking with YESHUA to teach the younger women how to be properly love their husbands and to love their children, how to dress modestly and take care of the home. And in doing so no one can blaspheme against the Word of ELOHIM when they see things are not in order according to the roles defined in scripture.

The role of a woman can be summed up with what is recorded in Jubilees concerning Leah’s behavior:

Jubilees 36:22

“For she (Leah) was PERFECT AND UPRIGHT IN ALL HER WAYS AND HONORED JACOB, AND ALL THE DAYS THAT SHE LIVED WITH HIM HE DID NOT HEAR A HARSH WORD FROM HER MOUTH, for she was GENTLE AND PEACABLE AND UPRIGHT AND HONORABLE.”

Proverbs 31:21

“She shall do him good, and not evil, all the days of her life.”

Leah was a Proverbs 31 wife!

She is strong, a nurturer, and selfless! I remember when I was a child, I would procrastinate on doing a school project that I knew had to be done about 3 months in advance; however, I waited until the night before to get it done. Guess what? I did not have any of the supplies I needed nor the time to complete it. But my mom would make sure to help with the project and even stayed up until 3 or 4 in the morning to help me complete it knowing that she had to go to work in a few hours. She did this despite the fact that I was the one who messed up, despite the fact that it was me who procrastinated! I deserved to get a failing grade for my own actions, but I tell you these kind deeds were never forgotten.

Or whenever my brother, sister, or myself was sick with the flu, my mom would stay up all night to make sure we had water, soup, orange juice, and medicine. We cannot comprehend the love of a woman and their selflessness. If your husband does not see all the good that you are doing then he needs to repent and stop taking you for granted but keep going because YAHWEH sees your humility and selflessness.

Proverbs 31:10-31 (Parenthesis mine)

“Who finds a capable wife? For she is worth more than rubies. The heart of her husband shall trust her, and he has no lack of gain. She shall do him good, and not evil, all the days of her life. She shall seek wool and flax, and with delight she works with her hands. She shall be as the ships of Tarshish, she brings in her food from afar. She also rises while it is still night, and provides food for her household, and a portion for her girls. She shall consider a field and buy it; from her profits she shall plant a vineyard. She shall gird herself with strength, and strengthen her arms. She shall taste when her gain is good; her lamp does not go out by night. She shall stretch out her hands to the distaff (a stick or spindle onto which wool and flax is wound for spinning), and her hand hold the spindle. She shall extend her hand to the poor, and she shall reach out her hands to the needy. She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household is dressed in scarlet. She shall make tapestry for herself; she is dressed in fine linen and purple. Her  husband is known in the gates, when he sits among the elders of the land, she shall make fine linen and sell them, and shall give girdles for the merchants. STRENGTH (She is still strong even while submitting to husband) and splendor are her garments, and she rejoices in time to come. She shall open her mouth with wisdom, and on her tongue is the Torah of kindness. She watches over the ways of her household (this ties into to the ancient otiot I spelled out above: resh, zayin, ayin meaning a woman is a helper who watches over her husband and household, to nourish him and children, and pray for the weaknesses in your husband to be cut so that they become strengths) And does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children shall rise up and call her blessed; her husband, and he praises her: “Many daughters have done nobly, but you have risen over them all.” Loveliness is deceptive and prettiness is vain, a woman who reveres YAHWEH is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.”

Should a woman submit to the man?

The scriptures are clear on the matter, yet there is this ongoing debate about it when there should not be. There is clear order and hierarchy when it comes to YAHWEH’s creation, so we will examine those scriptures to get clarification. The first one was decreed by YAHWEH Himself in the Garden.

Genesis 3:16

“To the woman He said “I greatly increase your sorrow and your conception – bring forth children in pain. And your desire is for your husband, and HE RULES OVER YOU.”

Interesting to note that the George Lamsa Aramaic Old Testament translation includes that the woman will be “dependent” on her husband in this verse. For some reason many women hate this verse and men do not want to talk about it, but why? Is not YAHWEH’s word perfect? Did He not say this for a reason? The word “Rule” in Hebrew is “Mashal” means to rule, have dominion, reign, cause to rule. When Adam was given dominion to rule over the creation that is exactly what that meant. The animals were subject to man’s authority not the other way around. One of the clearest scriptures to show that a man has authority over his wife and that she should submit is found in:

Numbers 30:6-16

“But if she at all belongs to a husband, while bound by her vows or by a rash utterance from her lips by which she bound herself, and her husband hears it, and he has kept silent towards her on the day that he hears, then her vows shall stand, and her agreements by which she bound herself do stand. But if her husband FORBIDS HER on the day that he hears it, then he has NULLIFIED HER VOW which she vowed, and the rash utterance of her lips by which she bound herself, and YAHWEH pardons her. But any vow of a widow or a divorced woman, by which she has bound herself, stands against her. And if she vowed in her husbands house, or bound herself by an agreement with an oath, and her husband heard it, and has kept silent towards her and did not forbid her, then all her vows shall stand, and every agreement by which she bound herself stands. But if her husband CLEARLY NULLIFIED them on the day he heard them, then whatever came from her lips concerning her vows or concerning the agreement binding her, it DOES NOT STAND-her husband has NULLIFIED THEM, and YAHWEH pardons her. Every vow and every binding oath to afflict her being, let her husband confirm it, or let her husband nullify it. But if her husband is altogether silent at her from day to day, then he confirms all her vows or all the agreements that bind her- he confirms them, because he kept silent towards her on the day that he heard. But if he NULLFIES them after he has heard, then he shall bear her wickedness.” These are the Laws which YAHWEH commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a dad and his daughter in her youth in her dad’s house.”

We see that the husband can nullify the vow of a wife the same way that her dad could if she was living with her parents. If the husband does not say anything then the vow stands, but if he nullifies the vow, it does not stand, so this scripture alone nullifies the feminist spirit.

1 Corinthians 11:3-9

“And I want you to know that the head of every man is Messiah, and the head of woman is the man, and the head of Messiah is YAHWEH. Verse 7-12 “For a man indeed should not cover his head, since he is the likeness and esteem of ELOHIM, but woman is the esteem of man. For man is not from woman, but woman from man. For man also was not created for the woman, but woman for the man.”

1 Peter 3:1-6

“In the same way, wives submit (#G5292 means subordinate, obey, submit) to your own husbands, so that if any are disobedient to the Word, they without a word, might be won by the behavior of their wives, having seen your blameless behavior in reverence. Your world should not be outward-braided hair, wearing gold, or putting on dresses-but the hidden Man of the heart, with the incorruptible ornament of a meek (quiet, gentle, submissive, patient) and peaceable spirit, which is of great value before ELOHIM. For in this way, in former times, the holy women who trusted in ELOHIM also adorned themselves, being subject (submissive) to their own husbands, as Sarah OBEYED Abraham, calling him master, of whom you became children, doing good and not frightened by any fear.”

Sarah called Abraham the Aramaic word “Mari” which means “my master”, and She obeyed Abraham (strongs #5219 hupakouo) meaning to listen to, attend to, hearken, obey, or answer the same word was used in Luke 8:25 as the winds obeyed YESHUA! The point is that the righteous women of scripture obeyed their husbands and did not argue or rebel against them, she submits out of fear and obedience to YAHWEH!  The wife should not be in fear to submit to her husband and resist the urge to overthrow her husband’s decisions by contending and arguing with him.

We know that women worry and have anxiety because they want to make sure that everything goes well and that is understandable but trust your husbands. In these situations, a woman is to pray for her husband. Peter is saying don’t let fear take over but let him lead, and follow the good works of Sarah, in other words do what the righteous Sarah did. When Abraham said “say that you are my sister” she did not fight with him but she obeyed him and the end result was that she was delivered out of the hands of Pharaoh and they left with riches.

Notice Peter is not putting a woman down he is just defining the roles because a woman is the weaker vessel. This is the reason why Satan went after Eve because he knew that she was the weaker vessel and more vulnerable to his devices. Satan was able to convince her act outside of her role as helper into the role of a leader by making a decision. When the roles get reversed it allows for Satan to come in and wreak havoc in your lives.

1 Timothy 2:14

“And Adam was not deceived, but the woman having been deceived, fell into transgression.”

 Adam was not the first to eat the fruit, he was supposed be the leader and say “No! YAHWEH commanded us NOT to eat the fruit!” When things are out order a domino effect occurs, and it is all written for a reason so that we learn from them.

Genesis 3:17

“And to the man He said, “Because you have LISTENED (Hebrew word is Shama which means to hear, listen, obey, consent, agree) TO THE VOICE OF YOUR WIFE, and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, saying, ‘Do not eat of it: “Cursed is the ground because of you, in toil you are to eat of it all the days of your life, and it shall bring forth thorns and thistles for you, and you shall eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your face you are to eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are, and to dust you return”

1 Timothy 2:12

“But I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, rather to be in silence.”

The Greek word for woman here is #G1135 “Gyne” meaning a woman of any age, whether a virgin, married, or widow.

1 Timothy 2:12 (Aramaic Peshitta John Etheridge)

“For unto the wife to teach I permit not, neither to be authoritative over the husband, but to be in quietude.”

One Aramaic translation shows that a wife should not teach and other version of Aramaic such as (The Holy Aramaic Scriptures) says a woman in general, why? That would give her authority over the man or a wife having authority over her husband which goes against all these witnesses in scripture.

Colossians 3:18-19

“Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as IS PROPER IN THE MASTER. Husbands, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.”

Should a woman lead?

If children, see a woman running the house taking the role of a man then the children will be mixed up and confused. They will think this is the proper way a family should conducted and possibly carry that behavior into their relationships, or disrespect the dad, or even become a homosexual because the gender roles have not been properly established.

Isaiah 3:12

“My people! Youths exert pressure on them, and WOMEN RULE OVER THEM. O My people! Your leaders lead astray, and swallow the way of your paths.”

This example showed how bad the condition of Yisra’el was because children were their oppressors, and the women were ruling which throws things out of order. Notice the entire verse is filled with negative connotations. In other words women should not be ruling over men.

How about Deborah? This account is always brought up to prove that a woman can lead but the rest of the passage isn’t being read and is taken out of context. Let’s examine it:

Judges 4:5-9

“And she (Deborah) was dwelling under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beyth El in the mountains of Ephraim. And the children of Yisra’el came up to her for right-ruling. And she sent and called for Barak son of Abino’am from Qedesh in Napthali, and said to him, “HAS NOT YAHWEH ELOHIM OF YISRA’EL COMMANDED, ‘Go, and you shall draw towards Mount Tabor, and shall take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun, and I (YAHWEH) shall draw unto you Sisera, the commander of Yabin’s army, with his chariots and his company at the wadi Qishon, and shall give him into your hand? And Barak said to her, “If you go with me, then I shall go; but if you do not go with me, I do not go up.” And she said, I shall certainly go with you. ONLY, THERE SHALL BE NO ESTEEM FOR YOU IN THE JOURNEY YOU ARE TAKING, FOR YAHWEH IS GOING TO SELL SISERA INTO THE HAND OF A WOMAN.”

As we see Deborah herself says to Barak that he will not get any esteem out of this because YAHWEH will give Sisera into the hands of a woman, meaning that Barak was supposed to lead and get the esteem as a man should lead because it was uncommon for a woman to lead, she understood this. Barak failed as a man to step up and lead when he had the opportunity! YAHWEH will raise up a woman to lead IF a man fails to fulfill his role as the leader.

Sirach 26:23-25

“A headstrong woman shall be counted as a dog.”

Sirach 22:5

“She who is BOLD shames both her DAD AND HER HUSBAND, AND THEY SHALL BOTH DESPISE HER.”

A woman is not to lead nor have authority over her husband or a man. I know it seems like the thing to do for the feminist independent woman movement, but we see that it is frowned upon is scripture.

Ephesians 5:22-23

“Wives, subject yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Master. Because the husband is the head of the wife, as also HA’MASHIACH is head of the assembly, and He is Savior of the Body.”

Paul is saying for wives to submit themselves to their husband “As to YAHWEH” because YAHWEH has established the man as authority in the home which means he is to lead by example, be the leader. The decisions that your husband makes falls squarely on his shoulders as the head of the house and he will be held accountable. Why would a woman balk at this?

Stop arguing/quarreling with your husband!

Proverbs 21:9

“It is better to dwell in a corner of a roof, than in a house shared with a contentious woman.”

Proverbs 25:24

“It is better to dwell in a corner of a roof, than in a house shared with a contentious woman.”

This scripture is repeated word for word in two separate places and in the Hebrew culture when something is repeated over and over it means that ears should be opened to listen because the issue is important.

Contentious is defined by the oxford dictionary as “causing or likely to cause an argument, controversial.” “Disputable, heated, fierce, argumentative, or quarrelsome.”

Wives, please stop arguing with your husbands, pray for him and encourage him, be the comforting voice he needs to hear, fight for him not against him.

 Many women feel as though they can force change upon a man by arguing with him, but scripture calls this nagging. You will not gain his hear or attention with this behavior, instead you will get the opposite response and have him sitting on the roof top of the house for peace. Women are emotional and speak out of that emotion and say things that are inappropriate at times because of this. We will scriptures below that praise a quiet loving wife versus the loud argumentative one. This is more reason why a woman should think about what they are going to say before speaking and pray and ask the RUACH HA’KODESH for the words to speak.

Proverbs 31:26

“She shall open her mouth with WISDOM, and on her tongue is the Torah of KINDNESS.”

 For example, your husband is coming in the door from a stressful day at work and you start arguing with him and slicing him up with words is definitely not the way to go about it.

Sirach 26:14-15

“A SILENT and loving woman is a GIFT of YAHWEH; and there is naught worth as much as a mind well instructed. A humble and trustworthy woman is double favor, and her sober mind cannot be valued.”

1 Peter 3:4

“With the incorruptible ornament of a meek (quiet, gentle, submissive, patient) and peaceable spirit, which is of great value before ELOHIM.

Sirach 26:26-27

“A woman that esteems her husband shall be judged wise among all; but she that shames him in her pride shall be counted WICKED among all. A loud-mouthed woman and a nagger shall be sought out to drive away the enemies.”

A woman who shames her husband in any manner whether in public or in front of children shall be counted wicked. A woman who wants to usurp the authority of her husband, seeking to embarrass him in front of anyone, a woman yelling loudly or trying to talk over her husband is not righteous. And a nagging loud mouthed woman shall be used to run even enemies away. As we can see women have learned to become the version of a woman that is not accepted by scriptural standards. Take an example from Leah about how she treated Jacob:

Jubilees 36:21-22 (Parenthesis mine)

“And Leah his wife died in the fourth year of the second week of the forty-fifth jubilee, and he buried her in the cave of Machpelah near Rebecca his mother, to the left of the grave of Sarah, his grandmother and all her sons and his sons came to mourn over Leah his wife with him and to comfort him regarding her, because he was lamenting her. For he loved her exceedingly after Rachel her sister died; for she was PERFECT AND UPRIGHT IN ALL HER WAY AND HONORED JACOB, AND ALL THE DAYS THAT SHE LIVED WITH HIM HE DID NOT HEAR A HARSH WORD FROM HER MOUTH (no arguing and not trying to shame him), for she was GENTLE AND PEACABLE AND UPRIGHT AND HONORABLE.”

This scripture shows the exact opposite of a nagging, loud mouthed wife. Leah, even though she was the least loved wife between she and Rachel still showed humility, love, and support. Jacob recognized this after the fact but loved her dearly for it.

Proverbs 31:11-12

“The heart of her husband shall trust her, and he has no lack of gain. She shall do him good, and not evil, all the days of her life.”

I pray that this message was an eye opener and received with love as I want us all to walk in full obedience to the word of our Father YAHWEH and His Son YESHUA! If you are struggling with any areas mentioned in this message then pray to our Father YAHWEH to deliver you and the same goes for men. As always may our Father YAHWEH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name!

YESHUA and the 12 Disciples symbolism

We all know that YESHUA had 12 disciples that He chose out of the world, but what does the 12 represent?

Mathew 10:1-4

“And having called His twelve talmidim (disciples) near, He gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every bodily weakness. And these are the names of the twelve emissaries: Simon, who is called Kepha, and Adri his brother, James the son of Zabdai, and John his brother; Phillip and Barthalomew, Thomas and Mathew the tax collector; James of Heleph, and Labai, who last name was Thaddaeus, Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also delivered Him up.”

The number 12 often represented the 12 Tribes o Yisra’el as we see in:

Exodus 28:9-21

“And you shall take two shoham stones and engrave on them the names of the sons of Yisra’el, six of their names on one stone, and the remaining six names on the other stone, according to their birth. With the work of an engraver in stone, like engravings of a signet, engrave the two stones with the names of the sons of Yisra’el. Put them in mountings of gold. And you shall put the two stones on the shoulder pieces of the shoulder garment as stones of remembrance for the sons of Yisra’el. And Aaron shall bear their names before YAHWEH on his two shoulders, for a remembrance. And you shall make mountings of gold, and two chains of clean gold like braided cords, and fasten the braided chains to the mountings. And you shall make a breastplate of right-ruling, a work of skilled workman, like the work of the shoulder garment. Make it of gold, of blue and purple and scarlet, and fine woven linen. It is square, doubled, zereth its length, and a zereth its width. And you shall put mountings of stones in it, four rows of stones: The first row is a ruby, a topaz, and an emerald; and the second row is a turquoise, a sapphire, and diamond; and the third row is a jacinth, an agate, an amethyst; and the fourth row is a beryl, and a shoham, and jasper. They are put in gold mountings. And the stones are according to the names of the sons of Yisra’el, TWELVE according to their names, like the engravings of a signet, each one with its own name, for the TWELVE TRIBES.”

Leviticus 24:5-9

“And you shall take fine flour and bake TWELVE CAKES with it, two-tenth parts in each cake. And you shall put them in two rows, six in a row, on the clean table before YAHWEH.”

This reminds me of the two shoham stones with the names of the sons of Yisra’el that Aaron wore as high priest (Exodus 28) divided by putting six names on each shoulder just as the showbread is divided into two rows of six.

Revelation 21:12-14

“And having a great and high wall, having TWELVE GATES, and at the gates TWELVE messengers, and names written on them, which are the TWELVE TRIBES of the children of Yisra’el: three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west. And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the TWELVE EMISSARIES of the Lamb.”

So here we have the names of the twelve tribes and the twelve disciples mentioned as part of the New Jerusalem, which ties right into the point of the message.

YESHUA being present with the 12 disciples is a representation of the restored kingdom of Yisra’el, where the 10 tribes of the Northern Kingdom (Ephraim/Israel) and the 2 tribes of the Southern Kingdom (Judah and Benjamin) will be joined back together as One House with One King ruling over them and that King is YESHUA! To understand this concept, we have to look at what happened that caused this division in the first place and the future promise of the regathering.

1 Kings 11:1-13, 29-35 (parenthesis mine)

“And King Solomon loved many foreign women in addition to the daughter of Pharaoh: Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Tsidonian, and Hittite, women; from the nations of whom YAHWEH had said to the children of Yisra’el, “You do not go into them, and they do not go into you, for they shall certainly turn away your hearts after their mighty ones.” Solomon clung to these in love. And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines. And his wives turned away his heart. And it came to be, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other mighty ones. And his heart was not perfect with YAHWEH his ELOHIM, as was the heart of his dad David. And Solomon went after Ashtoreth the mighty one of the Tsidonians, and after Milkom the abomination of the Ammonites. Thus Solomon did evil in the eyes of YAHWEH, and did not follow YAHWEH completely, like his dad David. Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that is east of Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon. And so he did for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and slaughtered to their mighty ones. Therefore, YAHWEH was enraged with Solomon, because his heart had turned away from YAHWEH ELOHIM of Yisra’el, who had appeared to him twice, and had commanded him concerning this word, not to go after other mighty ones. But he did not guard what YAHWEH had commanded. And YAHWEH said to Solomon, “Because you have done this, and have not guarded My Covenant and My Laws, which I commanded you, I shall certainly tear the reign away from you and give it to your servant. Only, I do not do it in your days, for the sake of your dad David. Out of the hand of your son I shall tear it. Only, I shall not tear away all the reign but give ONE TRIBE (Judah and Benjamin) to your son for the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem which I have chosen.”  Verse 29-35 “And it came to be at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahiyah the Shilonite met him on the way. And he was wearing a new garment, and the two were alone in the field. And Ahiyah took hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it into TWELVE pieces, and said to Jeroboam, “Take for yourself TEN PIECES, for thus said YAHWEH, the ELOHIM of Yisra’el, ‘See, I am tearing the reign out of the hand of Solomon and shall give TEN TRIBES (Ephraim/Yisra’el) to you, but he (Solomon’s son Rehoboam) shall have one tribe for the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Yisra’el.”

When Solomon fell into idolatry the kingdom was split into two kingdoms, Solomons son Rehoboam received two tribes the southern kingdom and Jeroboam received the other 10 tribes the northern kingdom. Ever since then there were two separate houses with two separate kings to rule over them. Then throughout time both houses committed spiritual adultery against YAHWEH by worshipping false mighty ones; although it seems that Judah remained more faithful then Yisra’el; however, they would eventually go into exile themselves.

Hosea 11:12

“Efraim has surrounded Me with lying, and the house of Yisra’el with deceit. But Judah is still wandering with EL, and is true to the Holy One.”

2 Chronicles 18:3-7

“And Ahab king of Yisra’el said to Yehoshaphat king of Judah, “Do you go with me against Ramoth Gilead? And he answered him, “I am as you are, and my people as your people, even with you in battle.” And Yehoshaphat said to the king of Yisra’el, “Please inquire for the word of YAHWEH today.” And the king of Yisra’el gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Do we go against Ramoth Gilead to battle, or do I refrain? And they said, “Go up, for ELOHIM gives it unto the kings hand.” But Yehoshaphat said, “Is there not still a prophet of YAHWEH here, so that we inquire of him? And the king of Yisra’el said to Yehoshaphat, “There is still one man to inquire of YAHWEH from him’ but I hate him, because he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Mikayah, the son of Yimla.” And Yehoshaphat said, “Let not the king say so!”

This shows that Yisra’el had turned away from YAHWEH as Ahab called pagan prophets to inquire, which is why Yehoshaphat said “Is there not a prophet of YAHWEH?” This shows that the House of Judah was still following YAHWEH at this point.

The House of Yisra’el stumbled greatly because most of their kings walked in the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat:

1 Kings 12:26-33

“And Jeroboam said in his heart, “Now the reign shall return to the house of David. “If these people go up to do slaughtering’s in the House of YAHWEH at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people shall turn back to their master Rehoboam king of Judah, and they shall slay me and go back to Rehoboam king of Judah.” So the king took counsel and made two calves of gold, and said to the people, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. See, your mighty ones, O Yisra’el, which brought you up from the land of Egypt! And he put up one in Beyth El, and the other he put in Dan. And this matter became a sin, for the people went before the one as for as Dan. And he made the house of high places, and made priests from all sorts of people, who were not the sons of Levi. And Jeroboam performed a festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the festival that was in Judah (Sukkot), and he offered up on the altar. So he did at Beyth El, slaughtering to the calves that he had made. And he made offerings on the altar which he made at Beyth El on the fifteenth day of he eighth month, in the month which he had devised in his own heart. And he performed a festival for the children of Yisra’el, and offered on the altar and burned incense.”

As we can see Jeroboam committed a great sin against YAHWEH even after YAHWEH gave him 10 tribes and to walk in the ways of David, but he trusted in his own strength and did it his own way. So whenever you see in scripture where a king walked in the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat, this is what they were doing. Walking in his ways and not the ways of YAHWEH! Jeroboam not only made two calves to worship as the children of Yisra’el did when they came out of Egypt, he also made priests of any tribe that was not of Levi when YAHWEH ordained the Levites for the priesthood and no other tribe, and he made his own festival day that he devised in his own heart similarly to how Christianity has made up false days. And because of these abominations that the Kings of Yisra’el committed YAHWEH exiled them to Assyria:

2 Kings 17:16-18

“And they left all the Commands of YAHWEH their ELOHIM, and made for themselves a molded image, two calves, and made an Asherah and bowed themselves to all the hosts of the heavens, and served Baal, and caused their sons and daughters to pass through the fire, and practiced divination and sorcery, and sold themselves to do evil in the eyes of YAHWEH, to provoke Him. So YAHWEH was very enraged with Yisra’el and removed them from His presence-none was left, but the tribe of Judah alone.”

This is where the term “lost tribes of Yisra’el” comes from because they were taken by the Assyrians into exile and they eventually became mixed in with the gentiles and forgetting that they were even Yisra’elites because they became like the nations.

Hosea 7:8

“Efraim is mixed among his people, Efraim became a cake not turned.’

Hosea 8:8 (Septuagint)

“Yisra’el is swallowed up: now it has become among the nations as a worthless vessel. For they have gone up to Assyria: Efraim has flourished again against himself; they loved gifts. Therefore they shall be delivered to the nations: now I will receive them and they shall a little to anoint a king and princes.”

Then about 130 years later or so, Judah was taken into Babylonian exile.

Lamentations 1:3 (Septuagint)

“And it came to pass, after Yisra’el was taken captive and Jerusalem made desolate, that Jeremiah sat weeping and lamented with this lamentation over Jerusalem and said. How the city that was filled with people sits solitary! She has become a widow: she that was magnified among the nations and princess among the provinces, has become tributary. She weeps great in the night and her tears are on her cheeks; and there are none of all her lovers to comfort her: all that were her friends have dealt deceitfully with her, they have come her enemies. JUDAH has gone into captivity by reason of her affliction and by reason of the abundance of her servitude; she dwells among the gentiles, she has not found rest: all her pursuers have overtaken her between her oppressors.”

But we see in Ezra 1 that the Jews/Benjamin the southern kingdom survived because they were allowed to return to their homeland after the 70 years of Babylonian exile, while the other tribes remained lost; although, they say that some of those tribes have been found such, as Beta Yisra’el a tribe of Ethiopians, but for the most part they are still lost. That is why YESHUA said that He came for the lost sheep of the House of Yisra’el, because the southern kingdom that included Judah and Benjamin were not lost unlike the other 10 tribes.

Ezra 1:1-4

“And in the first year of Cyrus the king of Persia, that the word of YAHWEH by the mouth of Jeremiah might be accomplished, YAHWEH stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, to proclaim throughout all his reign, and also in writing, saying, “Thus said Cyrus king of Persia, ‘YAHWEH ELOHIM of the heavens has given me all the reigns of the earth. And He has commanded me to build Him a House in Jerusalem which is in Judah. Who is among you of all His people? His ELOHIM be with him! And let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the House of YAHWEH ELOHIM of Yisra’el-He is ELOHIM-which Is in Jerusalem. And whoever is left from all the places where he sojourns, let the men of his place help him with silver and gold, with goods and livestock, besides the voluntary offerings for the House of ELOHIM which is in Jerusalem.” And the heads of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin (southern kingdom) and the priests and Levites, with all those whose spirits ELOHIM had stirred, rose up to go up and build the House of YAHWEH which is in Jerusalem.”

Then we know that the second temple was destroyed in 70 A.D. and the Jews have been scattered all over the world as well, although they were still able to maintain their identity. YAHWEH has made a promise to regather His people again and there will no longer be two houses with two kings! They will be restored back to one house with one king!

Isaiah 11:12-14

“And He shall raise a banner for the nations, and gather the outcasts of Yisra’el, and assemble the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. And the envy of Ephraim shall turn aside, and the adversaries of Judah will be cut off. Ephraim shall not envy Judah, and Judah not trouble Ephraim. But they shall fly down upon the shoulder of the Philistines towards the west; TOGETHER they plunder the people of the east, their hand stretching forth on Edom and Moab and the children of Ammon shall be subject to them.”

Ezekiel 37:15-25

“And the word of YAHWEH came to me, saying, “And you son on man, take a stick for yourself and write on it, “For Judah and for the children of Yisra’el, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘for Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Yisra’el, his companions.’ Then bring them together for yourself into one stick, and they shall become one in your hand. And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Won’t you show us what you mean by these? Say to them, “Thus said the Master YAHWEH, “See, I am taking the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Yisra’el, his companions. And I shall give them unto him, with the stick of Judah, and make them ONE STICK (One House), and they shall be ONE in My hand.” And the sticks on which you write be in your hand before their eyes. And speak to them, “Thus said the Master YAHWEH, “See, I am taking the children of Yisra’el from among the gentiles wherever they have gone (lost tribes), and shall gather them from all around, and I shall bring them into their land. And I shall make them ONE NATION in the land, on the mountains of Yisra’el. And ONE KING shall be King over them all, and let them no longer be two nations, and let them no longer be divided into two reigns. And they shall no longer defile themselves with their idols, nor with their filthiness, nor with any of their transgressions. And I shall save them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and I shall cleanse them. And they shall be My people, and I be their ELOHIM, while David My servant is King over them (YESHUA). And they shall all have one shepherd (YESHUA) and walk in My Right-Rulings and guard My Laws, and shall do them. And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt. And they shall dwell in it, they and their children and their children’s children, FOREVER, and My servant David (YESHUA) be their prince FOREVER.”

So going back to the beginning of the article, we have YESHUA with the 12 disciples which is symbolic of the 12 Tribes reunited together again with One King ruling over them YESHUA HA’MASHIACH!

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

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were NOT JEWS!

There are many who have been told or believe that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were Jews. Is this true according to the scriptures? Also, what is the definition of a Hebrew?

Firstly, the definition of Hebrew literally means “One from beyond” as Abraham came from beyond the Euphrates River to Haran. Hebrew also means to cross over like crossing a river as we saw our ancestors did in the scriptures and why it is speculated that they were called “Hebrews” which would make since why Abraham was called the first Hebrew.

Genesis 14:13

“And one who had escaped came and informed Abram the Hebrew…”

So Hebrew is a language and an action that is primarily based on crossing/traversing which means to travel across or through. Oneforisrael.org says the root letters of Hebrew are used to mean to “cross over, pass through.”

“As you can see, there are several mentions of watery crossings: Abraham coming from beyond the River Euphrates, the dramatic Red Sea crossing of the Exodus, and then the entry into the Promised Land as they crossed over the River Jordan. These Hebrews, these Ivrim, have sure done a fair amount of traversing! You can see why the Egyptians might have called them Hebrews – ones who came from beyond the river – and why Abraham was the ultimate Hebrew. As if to emphasize the point, the Hebrews went through not one but two rather miraculous water crossings; the first and most famous one being the parting of the Red Sea, but also when they finally reached their destination, the Jordan River piled up on either side as the priests set foot on the river bed, and the Hebrews crossed over on dry ground into their inheritance in the Promised Land.
But what is wonderful about this passage in Joshua is that it lines up the idea of leaving behind a life of idol worship and crossing over into worshiping the One True ELOHIM of Israel.”

Joshua 24:15

“Put away the mighty ones your fathers served in the region beyond the river… as for me and my house, we will serve the YAHWEH”.

For Joshua the symbolism was clear: on one side of the river is idol worship, but we have left that life behind when we crossed over to the other side. Now we will serve the YAHWEH.

So, we can also view this as us crossing over from Christianity into the true path of worshippers following YESHUA!  We see that the word Hebrew is for crossing over or passing through rivers and is also a language. So what ethnicity were Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Were they Jews? No! They were Arameans/Syrians!

Acts 7:2

“And he replied, “Men, brothers and fathers, listen: The ELOHIM of esteem appeared to our father Abraham when he was in ARAM NAHARAYIM, before he dwelt in Haran, and said to him, ‘Come out of YOUR LAND and from your relatives, and come here, into a land that I shall show you.”

This is scripture is clearly laid out where Abraham was from and his ethnicity, so question is where is Aram Naharayim? Aram is referred to as Syria and Mesopotamia, it is homeland of the Arameans, right along the border of Turkey; and Wikipedia says that various geographic and historical links also tie the two neighboring countries together. Since he was Aramean, it is believed that he spoke Aramaic hence the word Syriac text meaning Syrian another word for Aramaic. I can’t say it’s 100% fact, I’m just laying out the scriptures and wanting to piece them together. Jubilees shows that YAHWEH revealed the Hebrew language to Abraham after the Tower of Babel when He told Abraham to go to a land that He would show him, so was it possible Abraham spoke Aramaic up until this point when he was 75 years old? Jubilees 12 shows us that Abraham was 60 when he burned down his dad’s house of idols and we know that he did not depart from his dad Terah’s house until he was 75.

Jubilees 12:11

“And Nahor, his brother, took a wife. And in the SIXTIETH year of the life of Abram, that Is, is the fourth week, in the fourth year, Abram arose by night, and burned the house of the idols, and he burned all that was in the house, and no man knew it. Verse 16 And in the sixth week, in the fifth year, Abram sat up throughout the night, on the first day of the seventh month….” So, more time has elapsed since he was 60, then Abraham prayed to YAHWEH and He answered Him and this is where Abraham was 75 when he left.

Genesis 12:1-4

“And YAHWEH said to Abraham, “Go yourself out of your land, from your relatives and from your dad’s house to a land which I show you. And I shall make you a great nation, and bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing! And I shall bless those who bless you, and curse him who curses you. And in you all the clans of the earth shall be blessed.” So Abraham left as YAHWEH had commanded him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS old when he departed from Haran.”

Jubilees 12:22-27

“And he (Abraham) made an end of speaking and praying. And see, the word of YAHWEH was sent to him through me (messenger), saying “Get up from your land, and your clan and from the house of your dad, to a land which I shall show you, and I shall make you a great and numerous nation. And I shall bless you and I shall make your name great, and you shall be blessed in the earth, and in you shall all generations of the earth be blessed, and I shall bless them that bless you, and curse them that curses you. And I shall be an ELOHIM to you and your son, and to your son’s son, and to all your seed. Do not fear; from this time and to all generations of the earth, I am your ELOHIM. And YAHWEH ELOHIM said, “Open his (Abraham’s) mouth and his ears, that he may hear and speak with his mouth, with the LANGUAGE which has been revealed.” For it had ceased from the mouth of all the children of men from the day of the overthrow (Tower of Babel). And I opened his mouth, and his ears and his lips, and I began to speak with him in HEBREW in the TONGUE OF THE CREATION.” And he took the Books of his ancestors and these were written in Hebrew-and he TRANSCRIBED them, and he began from this time to study them. And I made known to him that which he could not understand, and he studied them during the six rainy months.”

Tying Genesis 12 and Jubilees 12 together we see that Abraham learned Hebrew when he was 75 years old, which ties into the this article which states:

Journals.uchicago.edu add this:

The Native Language of Abraham. -It would be reasonable to infer that the native language of Abraham was Aramaic, since he emigrated from Ur of the Chaldees to the land of Canaan (Gen. xI. 31)…”

Isaac

So we see that Abraham was Aramean and he took his wife Sarah while he was in his homeland which would make her Aramean/Syrian as well.

Genesis 11:28-31

“And Haran died before his dad Terah in the land of his birth, in Ur-Kasdim (Kasdim is identified with the site of Urkesh-the capital of the Hurrian Kingdom, now in northeastern Syria, Josephus believed Ur-kasdim to be in Northern Mesopotamia which is Syria or Turkey) And Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milkah, the daughter of Haran the dad of Milkah and the dad of Yiskah. And Sarai was barren, she had no child. And Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and they went out with them from Ur-Kasdim to go the land of Canaan. And they came to Haran and dwelt there.”

So being that Abraham and Sarah were Aramean they would give birth to a son named Isaac who would be Aramean. We see that Abraham sends his servant back to his homeland in Aram Naharayim to take a wife for his son Isaac, which would make Rebecca an Aramean.

Genesis 24:1-10 (parenthesis mine)

“And Abraham was old, advanced in years. And YAHWEH had blessed Abraham in every way. And Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, “Please, put you hand under my thigh, so that I make you swear by YAHWEH, the ELOHIM of the heavens and the ELOHIM of the earth, that you do not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell, but go to MY LAND (Birthplace) and MY RELAVTIVES (My tribe), and take a wife from my son Isaac. And the servant said to him, “What if the woman refused to follow me to this land? Do I then take your son back to the land from which you came? And Abraham said to him, “Beware lest you take my son back there! “YAHWEH, ELOHIM of the heavens, who took me from my dad’s house and from the land of my relatives, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, ‘To your seed I give this land,’ He sends His messenger before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there. And if the woman refused to follow you, then you shall be released from this oath; only, do not take my son back there.” Then the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter. And the servant took ten of his master’s camels and left, for all his master’s good were in his hand. And he arose and went to ARAM NAHARAYIM, to the city of Nahor.”

We have to remember that Nahor the brother of Abraham would have to be a Aramean since they were brothers, the same blood; and he took a wife Milkah which was his brother Haran’s daughter making her Aramean as well.

 Genesis 24:15

“And it came to be, before he had ended speaking, that see Rebecca, who was born to Bethu’el son of Milkah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, came out with her jar on her shoulder.”

So Nahor and Milkah would bring forth Aramean offspring which was Bethuel as we see Genesis 25:20

Genesis 25:20

“And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebecca as wife, the daughter of Bethu’el THE ARAMEAN OF PADDAM ARAM (Plain of Aram), the sister of Laban the ARAMEAN.”

So we see that Bethu’el the son of Nahor the brother of Abraham brought forth Laban and Rebecca who were both Aramean and the servant of Abraham went to get Rebecca the Aramean for Abraham’s Aramean son Isaac.

Jacob

So you guessed it! Isaac and Rebecca both being Aramean would produce an Aramean son named Jacob as we see in Deuteronomy 26.

Deuteronomy 26:5

“And you shall answer and say before YAHWEH your ELOHIM, My dad was a perishing ARAMEAN, and he went down to Egypt and sojourned there with a few men. And there he became a nation, great, mighty, and numerous. But the Egyptians did evil to us, and afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us.”

The context of this scripture shows us that this is Jacob because he and his sons went down to Egypt and sojourned there with a few men and increased greatly, the supporting scripture is:

Exodus 1:1-7

“And these are the names of the children of Yisra’el who came to Egypt with Jacob, each one with his household: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah; Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin; Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher. And all those who were descendants of Jacob were seventy beings, as Joseph was already in Egypt. And Joseph died and all his brothers, and all that generation. And the children of Yisra’el bore fruit and increased very much, multiplied and became very strong, and the land was filled with them.”

So, we see from scripture that Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were Arameans and not Jews; furthermore, the Jews did not even exist until Jacob begot Judah his fourth born son; and his tribe would later be called Jews. As always let us strive to walk in the truth of the scriptures and rejoice in the treasure that is discovered.

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

Divinity of YESHUA: A Treasure lost in Translation!

We will be looking at the deeper meaning of Isaiah 40:5 from the Septuagint and how it ties in with John 1 with YESHUA; then discuss the real meaning of the word “The Word” in John 1 from the Aramaic language and discover a true treasure contained within it; and it’s something that no one including those who doubt the divinity of YESHUA  will NOT want to miss.

One thing that I believe strongly in is etymology of the original words used and reading from translations that are closest to the original as we can get. We must dig for treasure because its not laying on the surface, but when you find it you will shout for joy.

Mathew 13:44

“Again, the reign of the heavens is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man having found it, hid, and for joy over it he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.”

This is the feeling that comes over me when I see treasure contained within older translations that helps to restore the true meaning of what YAHWEH wanted us to know and I would like to discuss the treasure of what is said of YESHUA. Although, we already know YESHUA is the Son of YAHWEH and was here from the beginning, it is still beautiful to see it written in ancient texts. Firstly, lets read Isaiah 40:3-5 in the Masoretic text and then compare it to the Septuagint.

Isaiah 40:3-5 (Masoretic)

“The voice of one crying in the wilderness, “Prepare the way of YAHWEH; make straight in the desert a highway for our ELOHIM. Let every valley be raised, and every mountain and hill made low. And the steep ground shall become level, and the rough places smooth. And the esteem of YAHWEH shall be revealed, and all flesh together shall see it. For the mouth of YAHWEH has spoken.”

Isaiah 40:3-5 (Septuagint)

“The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of YAHWEH, make straight the paths of our ELOHIM. Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be brought low: and all the crooked ways shall become straight and the rough places plains. And the esteem of YAHWEH shall APPEAR and all flesh shall see THE SALVATION OF YAHWEH: for YAHWEH has spoken it.”

The words “Appear” and “Salvation of YAHWEH” that is included in the Septuagint has more impact and I’ll explain why. Let’s break this prophecy down:

Verse 3-4 ““The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare the way of YAHWEH, make straight the paths of our ELOHIM. Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill shall be brought low: and all the crooked ways shall become straight and the rough places plains.”

This is a prophecy of Yochanan The Immerser (John The Baptist) preparing the way for YESHUA and the following scriptures match this prophecy.

John 1:20-23

“And he (John the Baptist) confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, I am not The Messiah.” And they asked him, “Who then, are you Elijah?” So he said, “I am not.” Are you the Prophet? And he answered, “No.” Therefore they said to him, “Who are you, so that we give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself? He said, I AM A VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, “MAKE STRAIGHT THE WAY OF YAHWEH,” as the prophet Isaiah said.” Which we just quoted from Isaiah 40:3

Luke 1:76

“And you (John), child, shall be called prophet of the Most High, for you shall go before the face of YAHWEH to prepare His ways…”

Acts 19:4

“And Paul said, “John indeed immersed with an immersion of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the One who is coming AFTER HIM, that is, in Messiah YESHUA.”

This is why John said in John 1:15 “John bore witness of Him and cried out saying, “This was He of whom I said, “He who comes after me has become before me, because He was before me.”

So John prepared the way for YESHUA to come with immersion to turn from sins to ELOHIM and to believe in YESHUA who came after him, although YESHUA was before him, meaning that YESHUA was here from the very beginning. I will go into greater detail when we discuss the Aramaic etymology of John 1. But now, lets look at verse 5 from Isaiah.

Isaiah 40:5

“And the esteem of YAHWEH shall APPEAR and all flesh shall see THE SALVATION OF YAHWEH: for YAHWEH has spoken it.”

Titus 2:11

“For the saving Gift of YAHWEH has appeared to ALL MEN…”

This is beautifully written in the Septuagint because the part about seeing the “Salvation of YAHWEH” is missing in the Masoretic text.  This important because the esteem of YAHWEH did physically appear in the flesh when YESHUA walked the earth taking on the form of a Man being without sin and dying for our sins .Then the part that says we shall see the Salvation of YAHWEH ties in with YESHUA’s Name because His Name literally means “YAHWEH is Salvation”. The prophecy makes more sense and makes an easier connection to the events that took place from the scriptures above.

Testament of Judah 24:1-6 (12 Patriarchs)

“And after these things will a star arise to you from Jacob in peace, and a man will arise, like the sun of righteousness, WALKING WITH THE SONS OF MEN in humility and righteousness. And NO SIN WILL BE FOUND IN HIM. The heavens will be open to him, to pour out the spirit, even the blessing of the Holy 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.”

The prophecy written by Isaiah in the Septuagint saying that the esteem of YAHWEH shall appear meaning that the One who appeared was here from the beginning and is ELOHIM in the flesh and the image of YAHWEH the Father who is invisible. So let’s now examine what the Aramaic Peshitta has to say about John 1. Aramaic is what many scholars believe to be the language that the New Testament was written in and is the language that YESHUA and His disciples spoke. So  looking at the etymology of the word that John in the Besorah (Gospels/message/report) we can get a deeper understanding of the message he was delivering to his audience. But first I want to cite two quote’s one from the head of the Holy Apostolic Church of the East and one from a website concerning Aramaic:

“With reference to…the originality of the Peshitta text, as the Patriarch and Head of the Holy Apostolic Church of the East, we wish to state, that the Church of the East received the scriptures from the hands of the blessed Apostles themselves in the ARAMAIC ORIGINAL. The language spoken by our Master YESHUA HA’MASHIACH Himself, and that the Peshitta is the text of the Church of the East which has come down from the Biblical times without any change or revision.” (Patriarch Mar Eshai Shimun, April 5, 1957).

Also, alephtavscriptures.com adds this:

The Aramaic language is a tongue whose origin is lost in the mists of antiquity. It appears early on in the book of Genesis (Genesis 31:47, in the words of Laban: Yegar Sahadutha – Aramaic for "Heap of Witness.) and is used again in several other places throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. Particularly, we see that parts of the books of Ezra ( Ezra 4:8-22; 5:1-6, 12; 7:12-26.)  and Daniel (Daniel 2:4 - 7:28) are actually written in the Aramaic language. I would like to add that Enoch has some Aramaic contained in it as well, I include this to show that Aramaic is not foreign to the text of scripture.

(Article continued) “Of all tongues, it is the most similar to Hebrew. In fact, the two languages not only share the exact same alphabet, but they also use many of the same vocabulary words, and have scores of cognates between them. A careful reading of the Scriptures in Hebrew sees repeated instances where the Holy Tongue borrows an Aramaic word here or there – evidence of the close affinity shared by the languages due to the cultural exchange of that time. In this consonance of the languages, the Aramaic of the New Covenant text of the Peshitta provides the reader with transitions from the Hebrew Scriptures that are beautiful and near-flawless in execution. One reading the Hebrew text, and then moving to the Aramaic, will find that the same Spirit is truly at work in the composition of the source-texts. Unlike the Greek, in reading from the Aramaic Peshitta one cannot help but feel the natural, fluid continuation of the Hebrew Bible: the reader is introduced to the את Aleph-Tav in bodily form in the Aramaic texts (words) of the Peshitta in the linguistics that so powerfully mirror the Hebrew. Historically, Aramaic was known to some extent by the Israelites during the period of the kings, but it was not until the exile to Babylon and the long captivity in those eastern lands that Aramaic began to have a more dominant role in the lives of Abraham’s descendants – as evidenced by the use of it in the two aforementioned books written during Israel’s captivity in the east. By the time of the return of many Israelites to the promised land, it had transitioned to become the common language of the people7 – so much so that the Torah / Law was in need of being translated into the Aramaic tongue during the times when it was read publicly from the Hebrew Scrolls.”

John 1:1-3 (Aramaic Peshitta Etheridge translation, 1846) Parenthesis Mine!

“In the beginning was the Word (The Miltha), and the Word (Miltha) HIMSELF was with ELOHIM, and ELOHIM was the Word Himself. This was in the beginning with ELOHIM. Everything by HIS hand was made; and without Him also was not one thing made that was made.”

As you can see the Aramaic version completely removes the doubt of those who say YESHUA was not here from the beginning and that the Word was “spoken words” by YAHWEH and not literally YESHUA!

Revelation 19:13

“And having been dressed in a robe dipped in blood-and His Name is called: The WORD OF YAHWEH.”

Cleary, the Word is YESHUA and always was from the very beginning. However, there is still more treasure to uncover about the word “WORD” in the Aramaic. The word used for WORD in Aramaic is “Miltha” which has a way more deeper meaning than and there is no English equivalent for it. Miltha means PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION OF ELOHIM, THE SUBSTANCE OF ELOHIM and THE WORD OF ELOHIM. Which is why I was making the connection from Isaiah 40:5 with YAHWEH saying that His esteem would literally APPEAR because YESHUA is the Physical Manifestation of the Invisible ELOHIM and Paul agrees with this:

Colossians 1:13-17 (Aramaic Peshitta Etheridge translation, 1846)

“Who has delivered us from the authority of darkness and transferred us into the reign of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, who is the LIKENESS OF THE INVLISBLE ELOHIM (PHYSIFAL MANIFESTATION) The First-Born of all creation. And BY HIM was everything created that is in heaven and in earth; all that is seen, and all that is unseen, whether thrones or dominions or princes or powers; all things by HIS hand and through Him were created; and He is BEFORE ALL and everything by Him all hold together.”

Paul agrees with John that YESHUA was here from the beginning and created the heavens and the earth at the pleasure of His Father YAHWEH and that He is the physical manifestation, the image of the invisible YAHWEH! This is truly beautiful when reading the scriptures the way that our ancestors read and understood it especially the original churches in the East before the scriptures became westernized.

Peshitta.org adds this:

Other than the sacred words of the Shema (Deuteronomy 6:4), no other words in the Hebrew Tenakh are more moving to any Jew as Exodus 3:14. There, ELOHIM gives Moshe His Real Name, and He says: EHYEH ASHER EYHEH (a title), which can be translated as I AM THAT I AM or, I WILL BE WHAT I WILL BE. The fact is, both Hebrew tenses of past and future are inherent in the phrase, leading many sages to refer to ELOHIM simply as The Eternal, or the Pre-Existent One. Continuing then, the next line then ELOHIM  says, "You shall tell the Egyptians that I AM has sent you to them." As a result I AM (EHYEH) became a sacred title, and the ACTUAL NAME became revealed as YHWH, which is derived from EHYEH (is) and HWA (was).

Now in Aramaic, the word "I" is rendered as ENA, and 99.9% of the time the equivalent phrase of AM (NA) is implied. However, it is also correct to say ENA-NA, but most would not dare to utter that phrase. The reason for their reticence is because ENA-NA is the Aramaic equivalent of EHYEH. Or, to put it another way, humans can be ENA, but to say ENA-NA is to refer solely to the eternal aspect and existence of YHWH. But, when YESHUA speaks of himself, guess what? He says ENA-NA. Therefore, it was not just because YESHUA claimed to have been before Abraham that caused his opponents to pick up stones against him. No, YESHUA went a step further. By saying ENA-NA, YESHUA was saying that he is eternal and PRE-CREATION…”

Revelation 3:14 (Aramaic Peshitta Etheridge translation, 1846)

“And to the angel of the church which is Laodicea write: These saith the men, the Witness, the faithful, the true, the HEAD OF THE CREATION OF ELOHIM.”

John 1:3 (Aramaic Peshitta Etheridge translation, 1846)

“Every thing by His hand was made; and without Him also was not one thing made that was made.”

YESHUA being the Head of the Creation of YAHWEH  agrees with John 1, Colossians 1, and Hebrews 1; and further proves that YESHUA would have to have been present from the very beginning of time in order to create the heavens and earth. I pray this clears up the confusion of those who are denying who YESHUA is because without Him no one can be saved.

Enoch 48:2-6

“And at that hour the Son of Man was named in the presence of the Master of Spirits, and His Name before the Head of Days. Yes, BEFORE the sun and the signs were created, BEFORE the stars of the heaven were made, His Name was named before the Master of Spirits. He will be a staff to the righteous on which to steady themselves and not fall, and He will be the light of the Nations, and the hope of those who are troubled of heart. All who dwell on earth shall fall down and worship before Him, and will praise and bless and celebrate the Master of Spirits with song. And for this reason He has been chosen and hidden before Him, BEFORE the creation of the world and forevermore.”

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

Do you have to be immersed (baptized) in water?

I have heard some people say that being immersed (baptized) in water is not a requirement anymore and that believing in YESHUA is all that if you have to do. Again, this shows how the world is taught that YESHUA has done it all and there is nothing left for the believer to do but play church. So, we will look at scripture to answer, do you have to be immersed in water? Can you receive the RUACH HA’KODESH before water immersion? And also, do you have to speak in tongues when you receive the RUACH HA’KODESH?

Being immersed in water is a symbolic action that represents washing your sins away preferably in living water (mayim chayim) which is a body of water like a river, etc.

Acts 22:15-16

“Because you (Paul) shall be His witness to all men of what you have seen and heard. And now, why do you delay? Rise up, be IMMERSED, and WASH AWAY YOUR SINS, calling on the Name of YAHWEH.”

Although, we know that only ELOHIM can remove the sins from anyone, the act of water immersion is a part of the process, it is obedience to YAHWEH and is something that ALL believers should do. The water expresses the already repentant heart that the believer wants to turn away from their sins to YAHWEH! Peter says this in:

Acts 2:38

“And Peter said to them, “Repent, and let each of you be IMMERSED in the Name of YESHUA HA’MASHIACH for the forgiveness of sins. And you shall receive the gift of the RUACH HA’KODESH.”

 Water was always a way to purify ritual uncleanness by bathing in water (a mikveh) a bath that contained water from a water source. An example of this:

Leviticus 15:13

“And when he who has a discharge is cleansed of his discharge, then he shall count for himself seven days for his cleansing, and shall wash his garments, and shall BATHE his flesh in RUNNING WATER, and be clean.”

Being immersed in the RUACH HA’KODESH and with fire means that He will change your nature so that you are not the same person you were beforehand. The kind of change that people say “They don’t recognize you anymore” or they think you in a cult or are too extreme in your love and zeal for YAHWEH! And with fire is the divine purification process to purge you of sins and making you acceptable to ELOHIM! Even though the power of ELOHIM is working within us we see that immersion in water is a necessity.

The act of immersion brings a spiritual regeneration where you die to your old self and your sins as YESHUA died for us; and be raised a new creature living for YESHUA with the expectation to be raised to eternal life. As Paul says in:

Romans 6:1-6

“What, then, shall we say? Shall we continue in sin, to let favor increase? Let it not be! How shall we who died to sin still live in it? Or do you not know that as many of us were IMMERSED into Messiah YESHUA were IMMERSED into His death? We were therefore buried with Him through immersion into death, that as Messiah was raised from the dead by the esteem of the Father, so also, we should walk in newness of life. For if we have come to be grown together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also of the resurrection, knowing this, that our old man (sin nature inherited from Adam) was impaled with Him, so that the body of sin might be rendered powerless, to serve sin no longer.”

Make no mistake there is only ONE immersion, and that immersion is to be in the Body of Messiah as a citizen of Yisra’el with the native-born and gentiles grafted in as ONE; and Paul makes that clear as well as he addresses that there is only ONE belief/faith.

Ephesians 4:4-6

“One Body and One Spirit, as you also were called in one expectation of your calling, one Master, One belief, ONE IMMERSION, one ELOHIM and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.”

Do you have to be immersed in water?

The perfect scripture to show that immersion is a process involving water found in Acts when Phillip immersed the Kushite eunuch will set the stage for all the scriptures that follow:

Acts 8:35-39

“And Phillip opening his mouth, and beginning at this Scripture, brought to him (The Kushite eunuch) the Good News: YESHUA! And as they were going on the way, they came to some WATER. And the eunuch said, “Look, WATER! What hinders me from being IMMERSED?” And Phillip said, “If you believe with all your heart, it is permitted.” And he answering said, “I believe that YESHUA HA’MASHIACH is The Son of YAHWEH.” And he commanded the chariot to stand still. And both Phillip and the eunuch went down into the WATER, and he IMMERSED him.”

Mathew 28:19-20 (Parenthesis mine)

“Therefore, go and instruct ALL (not some) the nations, IMMERSING, them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the RUACH HA’KODESH, teaching them to guard all that I have commanded you.”

Mark 16:16

“He who has believed and has been IMMERSED, shall be saved, but he who has not believed shall be condemned.”

John 3:5

“YESHUA answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of WATER and the Spirit, he is unable to enter into the reign of ELOHIM.”

Acts 2:38

“And Peter said to them, Repent, and let each one of you be IMMERSED in the Name of YESHUA HA’MASHIACH for the forgiveness of sins. And you shall receive the gift of the RUACH HA’KODESH.”

Acts 8:12-14

“And when they believed Phillip as he brought the Good News about the reign of ELOHIM and the Name of YESHUA HA’MASHIACH, both men and women were IMMERSED. And Simon himself also believed. And when he was IMMERSED he continued with Phillip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which took place.:

Acts 9:17-18

“And Hananiah went away and went into the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Paul, the Master YESHUA, who appeared to you on the way as you came, has sent me, so that you might see again and be filled with the RUACH HA’KODESH.” And immediately there fell from his eyes, as it were scales, and he received his sight. And rising up, he was IMMERSED.”

Acts 16:14-15

“And a certain woman named Ludia, a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, worshipping ELOHIM, was hearing, whose heart the Master opened to pay attention to what Paul said. And when she was IMMERSED and her household, she begged us, saying, “if you have judged me to be believing in the Master, come to my house and stay.” And she urged us.”

Acts 16:30-33

“And having let them outside he said, “Masters, what do I have to do to be saved? And they said, “Believe on the Master YESHUA HA’MASHIACH, and you shall be saved, you and your household.” And they spoke the Word of YAHWEH to him and to all who were in his house. And taking them in that hour of the night, he washed their wounds, and immediately he was IMMERSED, he and all that were his.”

Acts 18:7-8

“And having left there he (Paul) came to the house of a certain man named Yustos, who worshipped ELOHIM, whose house was next to the congregation. And Krispus, the ruler of the congregation, believed in the Master with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were IMMERSED.”

Do you have to be immersed to receive the RUACH HA’KODESH?

Acts 10:44-47

“While Peter was still speaking these words, the RUACH HA’KODESH fell upon all those hearing the Word. And those of the circumcision (native-born Jews) who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the RUACH HA’KODESH had been poured out on the gentiles also, for they were hearing them speaking with tongues and extolling ELOHIM. Then Peter answered, “Is anyone able to forbid WATER, that these should not be IMMERSED, who have received the RUACH HA’KODESH- even as also we?”

Here we see that the gentiles received the RUACH HA’KODESH before being immersed in water; however, afterwards they were still immersed in water in obedience to the command. So regardless if you receive Him before or afterwards, immersion in water is still a requirement.

Sometimes required the laying on of the hands!

Sometimes even after the immersion process of water it took the laying on of hands for them to receive the RUACH HA’KODESH.

Acts 8:14-18 (Verse 13 shows they were already immersed in water)

“And when the emissaries who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the Word of YAHWEH, they sent Peter and John to them, who, when they had come down, prayed for them to receive the RUACH HA’KODESH, which had NOT YET fallen on any of them, but they had only been immersed in the Name of the Master YESHUA. Then they LAID HANDS on them, and they received the RUACH HA’KODESH, and Simon seeing that through the LAYING ON OF THE HANDS of the emissaries the RUACH HA’KODESH was given, he offered them money.”

Acts 19:1-6

“And it came to be, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper parts, came to Ephesus. And having found some disciples, he said to them, “Did you receive the RUACH HA’KODESH when you believed? And they said to him, “No, we have not even heard that there is a RUACH HA’KODESH. And he said to them, “Into what then were you immersed?” And they said, “Into John’s immersion.” And Paul said, “John indeed immersed with an immersion of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the One who is coming after him, that is, in Messiah YESHUA.” And when they heard this, they were immersed in the Name of the Master YESHUA. And when Paul had LAID HANDS on them, the RUACH HA’KODESH came upon them, and they were speaking in tongues and prophesying.”

Do you have to speak in tongues when you receive the RUACH HA’KODESH?

Most in Christianity teach that if you do not speak in tongues then you do not have the RUACH HA’KODESH! Is this true? Let’s look at examples from scripture to show why this is false.

Firstly, speaking in tongues means to speak in other languages that is unknown to the speaker, but known to the hearer. Examples of this:

Mark 16:17

“And these signs shall accompany the ones who believe: In My Name they shall cast out demons, they shall speak with renewed tongues…

The word renewed tongues is the Greek word “Glossa” #G1100, which means the LANGUAGE or DIALECT used by a particular people distinct from that of other nations. So this makes sense when we see what YESHUA said in verse 15 “Go into ALL THE WORLD and proclaim the Good News to every creature.”

So being that they were Galileans who spoke Aramaic, how could they preach the gospel to other nations, when there would be a language barrier? We see the fulfillment of this happen on Shavuot.

Acts 2:1-11 (Parenthesis mine)

“And when the Day of the Festival of Shavuot had come, they were all with one mind in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from the heavens, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and settled on each one of them. And they were all filled with the RUACH HA’KODESH and began to speak with other tongues (Glossa/languages), as the Spirit gave them to speak. Now in Jerusalem there were dwelling Jews, dedicated men from every nation under the heavens. And when this sound came to be, the crowd came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his OWN LANGUAGE. And they were all amazed and marveled, saying to each other, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans? And how do we hear each one in our own LANGUAGE (#G1259 Dialektos where the word dialect comes from) in which we were born? Parthians and Madites and Eylamites, and those dwelling in Aram Naharayim, both Judah and Kappadokia, Pontus and Asia, both Phrugia and Pamphulia, Egypt and the parts of Libue around Kurene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and converts, Kreteans and Arabs, we hear them speaking in our own TONGUES, the great deeds of ELOHIM.”

Another example is the Lashon Ha’kodesh (The Holy tongue is the Hebrew language):

Jubilees 12:25-26

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

Isaiah 36:11

“Then Elyakim and Shevna and Yo’ach said to him, speak to your servants in the ARAMAIC TONGUE; for we understand it: and do not speak to us in Yehudit (Hebrew): and why do you speak in the ears of the men on the wall?”

2 Kings 18:26

“And Elyakim the son of Chilkiyahu and Shevna and Yo’ach, said to Rav-Shakeh speak now to your servants in the ARAMAIC LANGUAGE, for we understand it…”

So as we see, the account in Isaiah is the same account found in 2 Kings, but notice how one passage says tongue and the other says language? That is because they are interchangeable! Tongues in scripture is always languages!

So do you have to speak in other languages when you receive the RUACH HA’KODESH? The following scriptures show that when they were immersed that there is no mention of them speaking in tongues at all.

Acts 9:17-18

“And Hananiah went away and went into the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Paul, the Master YESHUA, who appeared to you on the way as you came, has sent me, so that you might see again and be filled with the RUACH HA’KODESH.” And immediately there fell from his eyes, as it were scales, and he received his sight. And rising up, he was IMMERSED.”

Acts 16:14-15

“And a certain woman named Ludia, a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, worshipping ELOHIM, was hearing, whose heart the Master opened to pay attention to what Paul said. And when she was IMMERSED and her household, she begged us, saying, “if you have judged me to be believing in the Master, come to my house and stay.” And she urged us.”

Acts 16:30-33

“And having let them outside he said, “Masters, what do I have to do to be saved? And they said, “Believe on the Master YESHUA HA’MASHIACH, and you shall be saved, you and your household.” And they spoke the Word of YAHWEH to him and to all who were in his house. And taking them in that hour of the night, he washed their wounds, and immediately he was IMMERSED, he and all that were his.”

Acts 18:7-8

“And having left there he (Paul) came to the house of a certain man named Yustos, who worshipped ELOHIM, whose house was next to the congregation. And Krispus, the ruler of the congregation, believed in the Master with all his household. And many of the Corinthians, hearing, believed and were IMMERSED.”

Numbers 11:15 (When YAHWEH took from Moses’ Spirit and placed upon the 70 elders)

“And YAHWEH came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him (Moses) and placed the same upon the seventy elders. And it came to be, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, but did not continue.”

So here we see them prophesying and not speaking in tongues. I know that this was before the immersion process in the New Testament, but I wanted to make a reference of not everyone speaking tongues (languages) when the RUACH HA’KODESH falls upon them.

Lastly, I would like to add this concerning the tongues:

1 Corinthians 12:7-12

“And to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for profiting, for to one is given a word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another a word of knowledge according to the same Spirit, and to another belief by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the same Spirit, and to another operations of powers, and to another prophesy, and to another discerning of spirits, and to another KINDS OF TONGUES, and to another interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these, distributing to each one individually as He intends. For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is HA’MASHIACH.”

So, most in Christianity says that if you don’t speak in other languages that you don’t have the RUACH HA’KODESH and from the scriptures above that is shown not be true, but also that it is a gift that that NOT EVERYONE will receive. The RUACH HA’KODESH distributes these gifts as He intends, and we all will not have the same gifts.

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