FOREVER SETTLED IN HEAVEN - Come, Enter the Mikvah



FOREVER SETTLED IN HEAVEN!

CONSISTENT, UNCHANGING FAITHFULNESS

It happened again this morning! It happened yesterday morning, and by the best calculations, it will happen tomorrow morning too. It’s been happening for a long time, and it doesn’t appear that anything is going to change. In fact, the word on it is that it will never change.

It woke up at what has become my usual time--between 5:15 and 5:45AM--to watch what I call “the event”. It takes about 60 seconds to happen, but it is consistent. For one solid month I have been watching this morning event, but today it “dawned on me” why I was awakened every morning to watch it. I sat in my chair on the balcony crying as the event happened once again. I’ve been watching this event in Tiberias, Israel, and in Jerusalem during the Festival of Tabernacles (Sukkot) for a solid month now. In Tiberias, the event happens over the Golan Heights, from behind the mountains that line the Sea of Galilee.

In Jerusalem, the event happens from behind the Mt. of Olives.

This consistent, unchanging faithfulness of the Creator gives us a solid picture of His nature. Once He sets something in motion, it never changes. “The event” has been going on since creation, since Genesis 1:14. It had a beginning, but it will never end.

By this we can understand that when He gave us His eternal teachings and instructions (Torah) as a covenant sign that we belong to Him, He never changed it. As with the universe, He expanded it, but never changed it.

Man, on the other hand, is unstable. He changes like the wind. His soul is in flux constantly like water—his mind, his emotions, his will, his reasoning, and his personality--all based on the world around him and how it affects him.

But, those that are anchored in Yahuweh with Yahushua Messiah as their Rock, know Their unchanging nature—as unchanging as the dawn.

All of creation reeks with obvious intelligent design, showing the nature of that intelligence in everything—beauty and wisdom, purpose and intelligent result.

The greatest continuous show on earth happens each morning and each evening, when the morning event becomes the evening event.

Yahuweh’s Morning Show! The message is clear: “I am Yahuweh; I change not!” (Malachi 3:6a)

Psalm 119:89-90: “Forever, O Yahuweh, Your Word is settled in the heavens. Your faithfulness is to all generations. You established the earth and it stands”.

Ecclesiastes 3:14: “I know that whatever Elohim does is forever. There is no adding to it, and there is no taking from it. Elohim does it that men should fear before Him”.

As I positioned my chair on the balcony this morning to watch “Good Morning Israel” Yahuweh-style, I was reminded of the words of the great hymn:

Page 1

“Great Is Thy Faithfulness”, taken from Lamentations 3:21-23: “This I recall to my mind, therefore I hope: It is because of Yahuweh’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning—GREAT IS YOUR FAITHFULNESS!”

He is as faithful as the dawn—which never fails. If it did, we’d all be dead. If His universe was out of sync just 1 second, it would fall apart. But, in all these thousands of years, and it has not changed. The intelligence, wisdom and power of the designer continues to hold everything He made in place. The planets move in their orbits, the stars form the constellations, and the moon has its cycles, as it was from creation.

The waters do not come over their boundaries, except when the sin of man causes havoc in creation.

Jeremiah 5:22: “`Do you not fear Me’? Declares Yahuweh. `Do you not tremble at My presence, who have placed the sand as the boundary of the sea, by an everlasting law, and it does not pass over it? Though the waves toss to and fro, they are not able; though they roar, they do not pass over it’ ”.

“The event” each morning has made a deep impact on my life. The Creator’s message is clear: If I do not allow to fail the sun and the moon, the stars, the seeds that grow, the rain that falls, the earth that brings forth life, will I fail in taking care of you?

Deuteronomy 31:8, Moses said: “And it is Yahuweh who is going before you. He Himself is with you. He does not fail you nor forsake you. Do not fear nor be discouraged.”

To “forsake” means to “strand along with roadside with no help”. I have so many stories of His miraculous intervention when my old cars have broken down along the roadside, or I’ve run out of gas. He never left me without some almost immediate help, even in the night, and in the early morning hours in icy winter.

The very nature of our Father is displayed in His consistent, never-changing faithfulness in creation. And this daily event happens without most of the earth’s people thinking one thing about, yet without it no life would be sustained on the earth. And think about it: No human being can do anything to control it. No one can make it happen, no one can stop it, no one can arrange it to fit their schedule. It is a sovereign act of a mighty Creator—no one can add to it, or take from it. He does it to preserve life on a planet were the majority of the people He created have rejected Him and His Torah. Yet, for the sake of a remnant who love Him and know Him and are in covenant relationship with Him, and are obedient to His Torah, He allows what He started to continue.

Excerpts from Isaiah 40:21-26; and 44:6: “Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been declared to you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is He who sits

Page 2

above the circle of the earth and its inhabitants are as grasshoppers, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in...`To whom then do you liken Me, or to whom am I compared’? Says the Set-Apart One. `Lift up your eyes on high and see. Who has created these things? He who is bringing out their hosts (stars) by number--He calls them all by name, by the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, not one of them is missing’…Thus says Yahuweh, Sovereign of Israel AND His Redeemer, Yahuweh of hosts, ` I am the First and I am the Last, besides Me there is no Elohim.’ ” (Italics mine)

[Note: Here the Redeemer is distinguished from Yahuweh the Father. The Redeemer is Yahushua Yahuweh—our Messiah.]

Isaiah 55:7-11: “`Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return to Yahuweh, who has compassion on him, and to our Elohim, for He pardons much. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways’, declares Yahuweh. `For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain comes down, and the snow from the heavens, do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, and give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so My Word that goes forth from My mouth does not return to Me void, but shall do what I please and shall certainly accomplish what I sent it for’ ”.

Has the Father stopped sending rain and snow? – No! -- Then He has not stopped sending His Word either, for the eternal, never-changing Word is what causes His people to grow and flourish in the spirit and soul and body.

Yet, even those who claim to be His people do not stop to take notice of His greatness, and so put their faith in man, and do not know Him well enough to trust Him. By creation we can know the greatness and the tender heart of our Father, who brings the sun up each morning, but also paints the tiniest flower and the littlest sea shell with such gorgeous splendor.

Isaiah 45:5-6: “I am Yahuweh, and there is none else—there is no Elohim besides Me. I girded you, though you have not known Me, so that they know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none but Me. I am Yahuweh, and there is none else.’ ”

Psalm 113:1-6: “Praise Yah! Praise, O servants of Yahuweh, Praise the Name of Yahuweh! Blessed be the Name of Yahuweh now and forever! From the rising of the sun to its going down, the Name of Yahuweh is to be praised! Yahuweh is high above all nations. His glory is above the heavens. Who is like Yahuweh our Elohim, who is enthroned on high? He looks down on the heavens and in the earth, He raises the poor out of the dust, and the needy from a dunghill…”

Page 3

Isaiah 66:1-2: “Thus says Yahuweh, `The heavens are My throne, and the earth is My footstool….and all these My hand has made and all those that exist’, declares Yahuweh, `Yet to such a one I look: on him who is poor and bruised of spirit, and who trembles at My Word’ ”.

Isaiah 46:9-10: “Remember the former things of old, for I am El and there is no one else—Elohim, and there is no one like Me, declaring the end from the beginning and from of old that which has not yet been done, saying `My counsel shall stand and all My delight I do’ ”.

[Note: “Elohim”: The “im” makes the word a plural—“Let US make man in Our image – Genesis 1:26) “In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the Earth”.]

Speaking of Messiah: Colossians 1:14-17: “…in whom we have redemption

through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, who is the likeness of the invisible Elohim, the first-born of all creation (speaking of the resurrection). Because in Him were created all that it in the heavens and things that are on earth, visible and invisible…all have been created through Him and for Him. And He is before all, and in Him all hold together.”

As the sun rises each morning in its appointed times, and the earth’s cycles and seasons remain unchanged, it is Messiah who holds all together. His eternal Word keeps the universe from falling apart into chaos. Is He not sufficient to keep our lives intact? Is He not powerful enough to take care of us?

After the flood of Noah’s day, He said: “…Never again shall I curse the ground because of man, …and never again smite all living creatures as I have done, as long as the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and winter and summer, and day and night shall not cease.”

We see from the whole of Scripture that the earth and the heavens will be renewed by Yahuweh, but they will never cease—they will remain forever.

Ecclesiastes 12:1: “Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come”… What a high privilege we have to know the Creator—Yahuweh and Yahushua Yahuweh!

Revelation 3:14: “And to the messenger of the assembly in Laodicia write, `The

Amen, the Trustworthy and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of Elohim says to you…’ ”

John 1:1-3, 14: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim And things were made by Him and without Him nothing was made that was made…And the Word was made flesh and pitched His tent among us…”

At Sukkot in the Old City of Jerusalem, I watched the Orthodox Jewish children walking along holding their Abba’s (Daddy’s) hand. A father would push the baby carriage with the right hand, and with the left he would hold the hand of

Page 4

another little child. If there are more children, older ones, they might hold onto Abba’s coat. Is this not a picture of holding onto our Abba Father?

“Unless you turn and become as little children, you cannot enter the Kingdom of Elohim”. (Matthew 18:3)

What security for a little child to hold the hand of his Daddy! -- Total faith that nothing can happen to hurt him because Daddy is all-powerful and all knowing, and all protecting and loving. By holding on and letting Abba lead, we have no fear, for Abba knows where he is going. He does not fail us—He is our Daddy.

The intellects of the world system, in creating the religion of secular humanism, has dismissed Yahuweh and His creation in their doctrines of evolution, the big bang theory, and etcetera, all in the name of science.

I Timothy 6:20: “O Timothy, keep that which is committed to your trust, avoid profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science so-called, which some professing have erred concerning the faith…”

Many so-called Christians of the West believe in evolution, yet still hold onto their free ticket out of hell they say they got when they prayed “the prayer of salvation” sometime in childhood. They have no relationship with a Creator.

Then I hear the one who proudly and haughtily, with self-righteousness, sneers: “We’re not under law, we’re under grace—the law was nailed to the

cross”. At the root of this teaching is Satan’s despising of Yahuweh and His good Torah. This false teaching does not come with humility. In fact, all false teachings do not come with humility or contriteness, but come with arrogance and intellectual pride about what man has taught them. Some false teachers appear sweet and lovely, but cross them and you’ll find the coiled snake lurking inside. The intellect of man creates what man wants to believe, and so to convince them otherwise is impossible without the working of the Ruach Yahuweh. (John 6:44) This is why we must submit to the teaching of the Ruach Yahuweh, so that His teaching can go into our eternal spirit, which touches eternity.

Interesting that this “the law was nailed to the cross” doctrine appeared strongly

in the churches in the 1940’s in America, along with other philosophies of man thrust on the American people, which created instability of mind and spirit. It was the time also when experiments began on our bodies, too. Many of these experiments were done on the Jews in Hitler’s concentration camps. The mind-control, mind-programming of Americans began with undermining our basic need for emotional security and love, from birth—mothers were told that breastfeeding was wrong, and to not pick up your baby when it screamed from the effects of whole cow’s milk, but to let it scream, because picking up the baby was not good. Because doctors were, and still are, considered gods, people began taking vaccines (part of the Hitler experiment program), untested drugs, and being obedient to what the doctor said. Pediatrics, a division of psychiatry,

Page 5

began telling mothers what to do with their babies, and obedient mothers have been obeying them ever since. Yet, the danger that lurks behind obedience to your doctor, or your baby’s doctor, is so diabolically horrible that I must write an article exposing it.

Mind programming in all ways—even religious programming--has been orchestrated and effectively executed by the masterminds of Lucifer’s world—the elite of the Illuminati, who hate Yahuweh and His Torah.

Who created the Illuminati in 1776, which has birthed approximately 200 sister organizations that rule the world system? – The Jesuit (Society of Jesus) Order of the Vatican. Therefore distortion in doctrine has come in from them to a great degree.

Since around 1994, the church system in general, including the Evangelical and Charismatic sectors, has re-established ties with the Vatican, and is moving strongly onto a New Age teaching-base. Many who say they are Evangelical or Charismatic Christians or Messianic people now are including Eastern mysticism and occult practices into the belief-system. Some are denying the equality of Messiah with the Father. Overall, the religious system is exposing its roots in paganism. The great whore of Babylon (Revelation 17) has risen to her world power. How does the whore ride the beast? – The religious Jesuit Order runs the world system by riding and controlling the political, economic and military forces of the earth.

But, the one who proudly touts “the law has been nailed to the cross” did not get that from studying the whole Word, Genesis to Revelation, with the Spirit of the Father to teach him. Man in the West has been taught to live out of his intellectual reasoning of the soul, not to hear the “still small voice” in his spirit. Man gets his false teaching from nowhere else but from some other proud, arrogant, self-righteous human-taught human, bent on being free from Yahuweh’s “bands”. (Psalm 2)

What “yoke” did Messiah say was light and easy? He said: “My yoke is light and easy”. His yoke is the Torah—the lifestyle of peace and balance, and right relationships that cause us to know Elohim and life in harmony with our neighbor. Satan wants man to take off Yahuweh light and easy yoke, and take on his neck-breaking yoke that will lead us into damnation in the eternal lake of fire. What deception!

I John 5:2-3: “By this we know that we love the children of Elohim, when we love Elohim and guard His commandments. For this is the love of Elohim, that we guard His commandments, and His commandments are not heavy” (“grievous”-KJV). (Italics mine)

I John 2:3-4: “And by this we know that we know Him, IF we guard His commandments. The one who says `I know Him’, and does not guard His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But, whosoever guards His Word, truly the love of Elohim has been

Page 6

perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. The one who says he stays in Him ought himself also to walk, even as He walked”.

The Torah is the eternal teachings and instructions of the Kingdom of Heaven, given to us for a wonderful life on earth. It is contained in the first five books of the Bible, but also the Prophets and Writings are called “Torah”—teachings.

In I John 3:4: “Whosoever commits sin transgresses the Torah, and sin is the transgression of the Torah”. The word for sin is “anomia”--Greek—“an illegality, violation of law, to be without law, without Yahuweh’s teachings”. We’re talking Father’s eternal law, not some man made ordinance.

The word “transgression” means: “a revolt, to break away, to rebel, apostasy, sin, and to transgress law”. Transgression of His eternal Torah, then, is to rebel in revolt and be in apostasy. This is why we see in Matthew 7:21-23 that no matter how great these guys are, they are not allowed in His Kingdom for they have rebelled against the Torah. Only one religion specifically calls for breaking away from the Torah—Christianity.

Matthew 5:17-19: Messiah says: “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 heaven and the earth shall pass away, one yod and one tittle shall by no means pass from the Torah till all be done. Whoever, then, breaks one of the least of these commands, and

teaches men to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of heaven,

but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the Kingdom of heaven”.

The “yod” is the smallest Hebrew letter, and the “tittle” is the little mark on the “tav” that distinguishes it from the “hey”.

In the days of Messiah, as today among the Jews, discussing the Torah was a continuous delightful practice among those who loved His Word. In that day, if there was a hearty discussion going, or a heated discussion, the priest or rabbi in charge might shout to one who was seemingly out of line and perverting the words of the Torah: “You are destroying the Torah”. But, to one who had a good revelation, which exalted the Torah, the one in charge might say: “You are completing the Torah”. This historical way of discussion is still going on among

Jews. Messiah, using the words of the Jews of His days, said that He was not “destroying” the Torah by His teachings, but making it “complete”—

complimenting its words, and expanding its understanding. To complete it also means “to put a magnifying glass to it and expand it into the realm of clear

understanding”. Do you see how the Greek mind has distorted this truth!

His disciples called Yahushua “Ha Torah”—the Torah.

The meaning of Torah, #8451 in James Strong’s Concordance--Hebrew Dictionary--is “yaw-raw”, from #3384, and means: “to flow like water, to rain, to teach, to point out the finer, to shoot an arrow, to anchor, to direct, to inform, to instruct, to show”.

Page 7

Number 3383 is “Yar-den”—to flow down—which is the name of the River in Israel that flows from Mt. Hermon, through the Sea of Galilee into the Dead Sea—English “Jordan”. His Torah flows down like rain to us—it is living water. It is a torrent of water, gushing up to water our lives, so that we bring forth “much fruit”.

Isaiah 55:10-11: “For as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven and returns not, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that is may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so is My Word that goes forth out of My mouth, it shall not return to Me void, but shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it”.

His Word, His Torah, is like rain that falls on the earth to bring forth life—it is the Tree of Life—it is His wisdom—yet religious people, influenced by Lucifer, have rejected His tree for Lucifer’s tree of the knowledge of good and evil—the mixture—the destroying fruit.

In Matthew 6:10, as part of the “Lord’s Prayer”, we read: “…Your Kingdom come; Your will be done on earth AS IT IS in heaven”. His will in heaven is Torah. In this prayer, we are asking Him to execute the rules of Torah onto the earth, so that His Kingdom will come here too. In Messiah’s Kingdom, Torah will be the binding rule, executed with a “rod of iron” by Messiah.

Even if one reads the Word with man’s doctrinal glasses on, they can’t hear from the Spirit of Truth because their minds have been programmed to see what man wants them to see. That is why we must be so careful as to who we listen to.

Messiah said in Mark 4:24-25: “Take heed what you hear…” Luke 8:18: “Take heed how you hear…”

People who tout man-made doctrines do not know the Elohim of the Word. They do not know His nature, because they have listened to man and rejected His Torah. And thus they cannot understand the Messiah-Savior, for He did nothing and said nothing except what He received from the Father.

Mark 7:7-9: “And in vain do they worship Me, teaching as teachings the commandments of men. Forsaking the command of Elohim, you hold fast the traditions of men…Well do you set aside the command of Elohim, in order to guard your tradition”.

Jeremiah 9:5-6: “`And everyone deceives his neighbor and no one speaks the truth. They have taught their tongue to speak falsehood…you live in the midst of deceit; through deceit they have refused to know Me’, declares Yahuweh”.

Religion defends its position, no matter what Yahuweh or Yahushua say, no matter what the words of the texts say, even ignoring the Hebrew words.

The great Sh’mah: “Hear O Israel: Yahuweh our Elohim , Yahuweh is one”. And you shall love Yahuweh your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might”. (Deuteronomy 6:4-5)

Page 8

The word for “one” is “echad”. Yahuweh and Yahushua are “echad”—a family word, which means “united together”, used in the relationship of husband and wife. Do the Orthodox Jews understand “echad”? Oh yes, they just won’t admit that Elohim is a plural and echad is a family word—but they know it, and if cornered they admit it, whether angry or humble.

Genesis 2:24: “For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother,

and cleave to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” This is the relationship of the Father and the Son—they are echad—united together with one mind-set, one purpose, one direction, and with one mind working together for the same goals. The church, with its Gnostic teaching from the lies of Lucifer

in the Garden of Eden, has made the Father and His Torah something to be avoided and ridiculed, and made the Savior into a Greek god with Greek Gnostic

characteristics. Thus, the Church has put a wedge between the Father and Son, so that it is difficult to know either. The Spirit has become a “third person” via Roman Catholic theology, taken from paganism, instead of known for who He is—the Spirit of the Father Himself.

II Corinthians 3:17: “Now Yahuweh is the Spirit and where the Spirit of Yahuweh is, there is freedom. And…we see as in a mirror the glory of

Yahuweh, and are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, as from Yahuweh, the Spirit”.

John 4:24: Yahuweh is Spirit, and those who worship Him need to worship in spirit and truth”.

In Genesis 1:1-2 we see that Yahuweh’s Spirit brooded over the face of the earth, and as Yahushua spoke the Word, creation sprung forth at His command.

(This trinity doctrinal thinking goes back to Nimrod—to ancient Babylon 5,000 years ago—and is totally pagan). Did you know that the dove was the symbol of the “Holy Spirit” clear back to Nimrod’s time, and that the “Holy Spirit” was linked to the Queen of Heaven? Thus Catholicism carries this doctrine forward.

Those who love truth are coming out of falsehood and the Ruach is leading them into “all truth” as Messiah promised (John 16:13). Man becomes a slave to whom he submits his mind and emotions. The bond slave of Yahushua Messiah has submitted his mind, emotions, reasoning, and will to the control of the Ruach Yahuweh, and thus He is made to understand and know the high and lofty things of Elohim that few even consider.

Most of mankind goes about the day like a rat on a wheel, never stopping to “smell the roses” or look at the beauty of the sky, nor see the handiwork of the loving Father who grieves, because He has made all these things for His highest creation—man--and yet most don’t notice, nor consider Him, nor seek His

Presence with their whole heart. Thus man runs to man for knowledge, and gets nothing but broken cisterns that hold no water. The religious are always seeking, always thirsty, but never coming to knowledge of the Truth because they put their trust in man, and ignore the Source of Truth. (II Timothy 3:7)

Page 9

Jeremiah 2:13, 27-28: “For My people have done two evils: they have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, and hewn out for themselves cisterns, cracked cisterns, which do not hold water…For they have turned their back to Me and not their face. But in the time of calamity they say, `Arise and save us’. But where are the gods you

have made for yourself? Let them arise, see if they save you in the time of calamity…”

There is a Jewish remnant (of the tribe of Judah) arising that is seeking Him with all their heart. The Ruach Yahuweh is leading them. He is revealing Himself to them, and revealing His Messiah. It is this remnant that will receive Messiah in

the greatest of all revivals, at the coming of Messiah (Zechariah 12:10). This causes great disturbance to Satan and to his human agents.

But the religion of Christianity recently, has taken a major turn towards the thinking of Lucifer. It has come more and more into a Harry Potter mentality—“I’ll get for me, me, me, in any way I can”. This is the pure satanic nature. The church is being lured into Eastern mysticism, and all other types of false

doctrine, for its false prophets are not warning the people. Because Christians tend to follow the big names of wealthy--famous gurus on TV that look like they are doing some for “God”--they are being drawn down the “broad road to destruction”.

The broad road is the road of the religion of man that leads to

destruction. The narrow road that leads to life, through the gate that opens into the Kingdom, is the road of following the Spirit of Yahuweh!

Proverbs 28:4; 9: “Those who forsake the Torah praise the wrong. Those who guard the Torah strive with them…He who turns away his ear from hearing the Torah, even his prayer is an abomination”.

We are in the time when people praise the wrong, and despise Torah. It is the time when people are being “tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine” (Ephesians 4:14; II Timothy 4:3-4)

II Timothy 4:3-4: “For there shall come a time when they shall not bear sound teaching but according to their own desires, they heap up for

themselves teachers tickling the ear, and they shall indeed turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to myths”.

Man has turned to human teachers to teach them (this is Secular Humanism—making man a god), and have heard lies, falsehoods and deceptions. Yet, they keep running to these “broken cisterns”, week after week, to hear their rhetoric,

when we have the privilege of entering into the Most Set-Apart Place with the Creators of the universe who gives us His Spirit to teach us pure, undiluted Truth, and who fellowships with us in a personal way, so we can become His friends.

The Messiah of Israel calls to us with passion: “Follow Me!”. -- “My yoke is easy and My burden is light”. (Matthew 4:19; 11:28-30)

In this article, not from an intellectual standpoint, though I could approach it like that, but from wisdom and Scripture, I want to show you that Yahuweh never did away with anything He started. Appealing to the intellect is not going to change lives—the Ruach must lead someone into all Truth, if they love truth.

If He never did away with the sunrise, and the sunset, with the seasons, with the laws of gravity, and other laws He set in motion at creation, He has not done away with His eternal Torah.

I want to show you that the only Word spoken of in the Word is the often despised misnamed “Old Testament”—the Tenach. “Tenach”(also spelled in English, “Tenak”) is an acronym for Torah, Prophets and Writings.

Who would promote the despising and the rejection of the eternal Word of

Yahuweh—His Kingdom teachings and Instructions for the most balanced and happy life on earth? Only one would do that—Satan! It is Satan who is

tormented by Yahuweh and His eternal Word. Thus, he lies and deceives and causes man to also reject Yahuweh and His Torah.

Has Yahuweh done away with the Levitical Zadok priesthood? Has taken the scepter from the house of Judah? Has He taken away the birthright of the house of Ephraim? Has He done away with the Torah--the Shabbat, the Festivals, and New Moon celebrations? Has He changed creation, allowing the garbage collectors He created--creatures not to be eaten, like the pig and the lobster and other defiled animals and sea creatures--to become meat for us now, so that we might eat flesh filled with worms, cancers, and other diseases, from the garbage they collect? Has He thrown out the eternal covenant laws of Leviticus 11, showing His people what He made for them to eat and what He didn’t make for us to eat?

The dietary rules of Leviticus 11 are part of our being set-apart to Yahuweh—part of our covenant with Him. Yet, the Word talks about those “whose god is their belly”, and what their belly demands, they give in to.

Man is dying from diseases caused by the eating of things Yahuweh did not create to be eaten, yet the religious Christian haughtily says, “I can eat what I want to eat; I am not under the law; I am under grace”.

Jeremiah 33:20-22: “Thus says Yahuweh, `If you could break My

covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that there be not day and night in their season, then My covenant could also be broken with David My servant—so that he shall not have a son to reign upon his throne—and with the Levites, the priests, My servants. As the hosts of the heavens is not counted, nor the sand of the sea measured, so I increase the descendants of David My servant and the Levites who

attend upon Me’…Thus says Yahuweh of hosts, `If my covenant is not with day and night, and if I have not appointed the law of the heavens and the earth, then I would also reject the descendants of Jacob (the twelve tribes from Jacob’s twelve sons) and David My servant so that I

Page 11

should not take of his descendants to be rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob…’ ” (Italics mine)

Isaiah 66:20b-23: “…`the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of Yahuweh. And from them, too, I shall take for priests--for Levites’, declares Yahuweh. For as the new heavens and the new earth that I make stand before Me’, declares Yahuweh, `so your seed and your name shall stand. And it shall be that from New Moon to New

Moon, and from Shabbat to Shabbat, all flesh shall come to worship before Me,’ declares Yahuweh”.

The eternal priesthood: Exodus 41:13, 15; Numbers 25:1-13; Jeremiah 33:17-

2; Ezekiel 44:15-28. The eternal Festivals: Leviticus 23:14; 31, 41. The eternal Shabbat: Exodus 31:12-18. The eternal “house of David”: Psalm 89:20-37; Jeremiah 33:17-26.

Eternity future: In the time when the Father brings the New Jerusalem to earth, and renews the earth and the heavens, we will still be celebrating each New (renewed) Moon, which marks the new month, the seven Festivals of Yahuweh determined by the New Moon (Leviticus 23:1-3), the Shabbat—forever! In Leviticus 23, we see that the Festivals (Feasts) are Yahuweh’s Feasts. They are set-apart gatherings to Him. They are determined by the new moon, which establishes when the new month begins. The harvests of barley, at Pesach

(Passover time, wheat at Pentecost time, and the five species of fruit at the Tabernacles time, are all determined by the stage of grain or fruit.

In Ezekiel chapters 40-48, we see the future—a restored Kingdom on earth, with a restored Torah and a restored Land inheritance to His people, a restored priesthood, a restored King, and a restored Covenant with Yahuweh!

Has Yahuweh done away with His eternal decrees? -- Not if the sun came up this morning!

Genesis 1:14: “And Elohim said, `Let lights come to be in the expanse of

the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for

signs, and appointed times and for days and years.’ ”

The words “appointed times” are captured in the Hebrew word “moed’im”—set appointments.

Psalm 23:3: “He restores my soul. He leads me in the tracks of righteousness for His Name’s sake”. What are the “tracks” that are cut deep into the paths of righteousness that we walk in? They are the seven Feasts of Yahuweh. This is our calendar year. Each year we walk in the springtime tracks from Passover, Unleavened Bread (which picture the death, burial and resurrection of Messiah), to Pentecost (when Messiah poured out the Spirit of

Yahuweh on His set-apart ones), to the autumn tracks of The Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles, picturing the second coming of Messiah, the judgment on the nations and the salvation of all Israel,

Page 12

and the setting up of the 1,000-year reign of Messiah over the earth, when He tabernacles with us. These are eternal festivals.

The weekly Shabbat is the major sign of identification with the Creator, the Almighty, Elohim, the Father and His Messiah, Yahushua.

(For more information on Shabbat, please ask for the articles “Shabbat is Eternal”--a complete study--and “The Sign of Identification”. For information on the seven Festivals of Yahuweh, and on Hanukkah and Purim, ask for the articles on these.)

This was the major sign that the Roman Catholic Church watched for during the three hundred years of Inquisition to drag Jews and Torah-guarding believers

before the Inquisitor to be tortured and killed if they did not convert to Catholicism. By watching for this sign, the guarding of the Feasts, and the not eating of pork, the Third Reich of Hitler hauled Jews to their death in the Holocaust.

Why is Satan so against the keeping of Yahuweh’s Torah? Why don’t the evil rulers of the world system just relegate the Jews to a religious group, and leave

them alone? It is not the Jews--a biological human tribal people from Jacob and Leah--who torment the Devil because they have guarded for us the Torah—the Covenant of Yahuweh? It is Yahuweh’s heavenly Kingdom instructions that

torment the evil one. For they are the right-rulings used to run His Kingdom of heaven, from which Satan/Lucifer was thrown out.

Romans 3:1-2, 31: “What then is the advantage of the Jews, or what is the value of the circumcision? Much in every way! Because firstly indeed, to them was entrusted the Words of Elohim…Do we then

nullify the Torah through faith? Let it not be so! On the contrary, we establish the Torah”.

Romans 9:3b-5: “…my relatives according to the flesh: Who are Israelites, whose is the adoption and the glory, and the covenants and the giving of the Torah, and the worship and the promises, whose are

the fathers, and from whom is the Messiah according to the flesh, who is over all, Elohim-blessed forever. Amen”.

Romans 7:12, 14, 16: “So that the Torah truly is set-apart, and the command set-apart, and righteous and good…for we know that the Torah is Spiritual…I agree with the Torah that it is good”.

This doesn’t sound like the replacement theology of the Church. Circumcision is valuable? The Torah is good? Yes—the eternal covenant with His people never changed. Circumcision of the heart by repentance is required for salvation, but circumcision in the flesh is still valid as the sign of identification with the people

of Yahwueh--the sign of identification with the biological seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It has to do with Covenant. In eternity future, we all will have

Page 13

inheritance based on what tribe we are in, or tribal territory we are, of the sons of Jacob. (Ezekiel 48)

If we are not identified with this biological seed, then we are outside the Covenant of Yahuweh. We are either in the tree of Israel or we are still broken branches that Messiah says the Father will burn in the fire. (John 15:1-7)

Circumcision has been found to prevent prostrate cancer. The barbarian tribes hated circumcision. This should tell us something.

Genesis 17:13: To Abraham Yahuweh says: “And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall become a sign of the Covenant between Me and you…So shall My covenant be in your flesh, FOR AN EVERLASTING COVENANT”.

Because Christian theology does not know the Father, they overlook the words

“forever” and “eternal” and “everlasting” in His Covenant with His people. The western Greco/Roman culture does not understand Covenant relationship. The highest of all covenants is made by the shedding of blood, thus binding the two making the covenant together forever. Our salvation is a blood Covenant in the blood of Messiah Yahushua. Circumcision is a blood covenant. The marriage covenant is a blood covenant, too, but because there is no understanding of covenant in the West, in America, for example, the divorce rate is now over 50%. Yet, among Torah-observant Jews, the divorce rate is miniscule.

Most of the earth’s people have some biological connection to the tribes of

Jacob—this has been proven, because the scattering of multi-millions of the northern ten tribes from 1000 – 722 BCE, into all the earth, has resulted in the fulfillment of the Covenant to Abraham, that his seed would be as the stars of the heavens and the sand of the sea. Judah and Levi can be DNA tested and numbered in the millions, but not the house of Israel/Ephraim/Joseph—the ten northern tribes. They number in the billions now. (For more information on this, please ask for the article “Who Are The Ten?”)

Christianity does not understand “Covenant”—this is an Eastern understanding, not a western one! The Father does not change, so the Son does not change either.

Hebrews 13:8 is often quoted by Christians but not Malachi 3:6!

Yahuweh gave us the Torah because He wanted a set-apart people to experience the balance, the peace, the justice and rightness of His Kingdom on earth. It is this that Satan hates. He does not want us to experience the peace of Yahuweh and Yahushua.

Few Christians know the peace spoken of in John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you—My peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be trouble, neither let it be afraid”.

The Greeks despised the Torah. Antiochus Ephiphanes (Greek Seleucid ruler

from Syria, about 167 BCE) outlawed the Torah--the Shabbat, the Feasts, the dietary rules, and the covenant sign of circumcision. He sacrificed a pig on the

Page 14

altar of the Temple in Jerusalem and set up a statue of Zeus in the Temple of Yahuweh. The Greek name, which they substituted for Messiah’s real Name, Yahushua, (Which means: “I Am Salvation”) was “Iesous”—connected to the god Zeus, Bacchus, Osiris, and Serapis. The name “Iesous” is transliterated into Latin

as Yesu, into Spanish it is pronounced as “Hey-soos”, and into English as “Jesus”. The “J” is only 500 years old as a letter in English, created by putting a tail on the Greek “I”, and thus hiding the truth that the Greeks substituted another god for the real Yahushua.

The Greeks hated the Torah, so they created a counterfeit, adding their own

Gnostic beliefs to the soup. Today the soup has 1.9 billion members in about 5,000 denominations and organizations, with 350 English translations of the Bible from the Greek, each having the taint of each translator’s theology.

Not too many years back a new Greek text was created in order to change the Messianic Writings still further—even making thousands of changes to fit the beliefs of the translators. The NIV has at least 1,000 changes in it, because it uses the newly created Greek text. The Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, used by students of the Bible for decades, was “redone” in 1995, and is called The New Strong’s Concordance. It uses the new Greek Text. If you have a Strong’s Concordance, make sure it is the one compiled before 1995. There is a real difference between the two, even changes in the meanings of the Hebrew and Greek words!

The chief translator of the popular New International Version (NIV), which uses the new created text, does not believe in the virgin birth, nor the equality of Messiah with the Father, nor in the blood for salvation, nor in anything except what is found in his own New Age Gnosticism. The chief editor of this version is an admitted lesbian, who changed words in the text to disguise any reference against homosexuality. She removed many Scriptures about the blood, and about warfare against Satan. Yet this version has become a major version used in Christian churches.

If the Messianic Writings do not line up 100% in all ways with the Tenach, we know that tampering has been done. The early Roman translators of John have made the Messiah a non-Torah-guarding Jew, who multiplies leavened bread during Passover, and who doesn’t even go up to Jerusalem for Passover. By inserting two extra Passovers in the wrong places to fit their eschatology, the Roman Catholic Church made Yahushua’s one-year ministry into a 3½-year ministry. He walked out the festival cycles, from Passover to Passover—over one year, that’s all. And of course, the King James’ blunder of inserting the word “Easter” for “Passover” in Acts 12:4 is well known. (As for my articles “Joyful Abominations” regarding Christmas, and “Passover or Easter? Which One Honors the Savior?” for more exposing of pagan roots.)

The Messianic Writings were originally written in Hebrew, so with each Greek

Page 15

translation, Latin translation, and on and on, no two were the same. Quite different from the Tenach, where scribes carefully wrote every word exactly from the previous copy, and if they made one error in a “yod or the tiny tittle marking on the tav”, they had to totally re-write the scroll. No “white out” in those days!

In the days of Constantine in the fourth century, there were only fragments of books of the Messianic Writings available, and he ordered a re-write of the text by the priests of the Roman Church. The Church “fathers” did not canonize the Messianic Writings until the fifth century. In going back to the Hebrew language, it has been found where additions were made that favored the Church’s theology. By the fourth century, there were only thousands of fragments left. Eusebius, the Bishop under Constantine, a historian, said that they only had one copy of Revelation left, and it had holes in it. Eusebius admitted to filling in the holes. But, with all the filling in, additions and subtractions by the Church, we

still have enough text to go by IF we study it from a Hebrew cultural understanding, being led in our study by the Ruach Yahuweh, always comparing it to the Tenach, which is the foundation of our faith. Once you know the Elohim and Messiah of the Hebrews, you can easily pick out the Greco/Roman tampering. I recently read of a rabbi who found Messiah Yahushua simply by primarily studying Isaiah, but also Deuteronomy, other Prophets and the Psalms. Our foundation is the eternal Word of Yahuweh!

All speak about Him – Luke 24:26-27, 44-45; John 6:46-47)!

But, because we are in the season of the restoration of all things (Acts 3:19-21), not too many years ago, a copy of Matthew in Hebrew was re-discovered—the Shem Tov copy from the 13th century—and it is creating a stir among the Jews—both secular and religious--for they are seeing a Torah-guarding man, who taught His disciples to guard the Torah. There is a big difference between the Greek Iesous and the Hebrew Yahushua! This difference is being brought to light more and more as those who love truth study.

Antiochus Ephiphanes forced the Jews to adopt Greek culture on penalty of death, even forcing the people to eat pork. Many refused to accept this, and so were mercilessly killed. The miracle of the festival of Hanukkah shows the triumph of those who guard the Torah over this great evil. Did Messiah observe Hanukkah? Yes – John 10:22.

In fact, if you are into the fad “What would Jesus do?”—then do as He did: Walk out the Festivals of Yahuweh throughout the year, guard the Scriptural Shabbat, eat as He did, talk as He did from the Torah. He was a Jew/Levite who guarded the Torah of His Father and who taught His disciples to do likewise. He did not start a new religion.

He came to renew the covenant of Yahuweh in His own blood, for “the house of Israel and the house of Judah” (Jeremiah 31:31-34)-- bringing the “lost sheep of

the house of Israel” back into the fold, to rejoin them with their elder brother, Judah. The story of the prodigal son is the story of the return of the ten tribes

Page 16

back to the Father and His family, and the upset it brings to the house of Judah, the elder brother. (Luke 15)

The Roman Emperor Hadrian stopped the teaching of Torah (133 CE). He

outlawed the Torah, the Shabbat, the Festivals, circumcision, and forced Yah’s people to eat pork on penalty of death.

The Roman Catholic Church established in 325 CE by their first pope, the Emperor Constantine, outlawed the Torah, circumcision, the Shabbat, the Festivals, and demanded that all become members of his Roman Church or die. Constantine substituted the Feasts of Yahuweh with the pagan festivals of Christmas and Easter. He replaced the guarding of Yahuweh’s Shabbat with the day of the worship of the sun god Mithra—Sun-day. He demanded that all worship on Sunday, or be killed. To his death, Constantine interchanged Yeshu

(Latin for Iesous) with Mithra—the god called “Sol Invictus”—the unconquerable sun, the god of Persia.

I know this might be hard teaching for some of you. I was in the church system for over 50 years. But, I decided to study to the roots of what I believed, and I found the root of the tree I had been eating from was deception, lies, paganism, Constantine, and Luciferic. He spoke to me one time: “If the root is defiled, the tree is defiled, and the fruit is defiled, and all who eat it are defiled”. Yah’s tree is the tree of life. We’ve all been eating from Lucifer’s tree—the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

(In my mini-book, The Foundation of Deception, I give my conclusions to my research. Ask for this if you’d like to read it)

I have great compassion for those who are coming out of this man-made system, so I write these things to encourage. But, for those who want to stay in the system, I can do nothing. All I can do is expose the system, and encourage the ones who love truth!

The Greek Iesous and the Jewish Yahushua are not the same person! A counterfeit bill is not a real bill—the two are different. They may appear the same, but they are not. The tares look like wheat, until the harvest, when the tares grow taller than the wheat and thus “stick out”.

Iesous is a Greek invented counterfeit of Yahushua, a pagan counterfeit—they are not the same. Oh the great mercy of the Father to save us—for in our ignorance we did not know! Matthew 13:24-42: The ones without the Torah are the tares that will be burned—verse 41, “anomia” in the Greek means “without the Torah”, just as in Matthew 7:23, these are rejected because they are “anomia”. Those “anomia” cannot enter the Kingdom ruled by Torah.

The Roman emperor Constantine, fashioning his sword into the shape of the “crux”—cross—a pagan fertility symbol of the goddess Ishtar (Easter), he proceeded to unite his empire by slaughtering Jews and Torah-guarding

believers in Messiah Yahushua, who followed the teachings of the early Apostles left to them by Yahushua Himself.

Page 17

History says that by the fourth century, the Church had destroyed anyone believing in the teachings of Messiah—including His mother and the Apostles. Now isn’t that twisted history! Yet, later in the 13th century, the Bishops of the Roman Church were trying again to kill off the “heretics” who believed in Messiah Yahushua and guarded the Torah of Yahwueh, who, they said, still had a copy of Matthew in Hebrew. My friends, there was always a thread of the original believers in the earth, and today we number in the tens of thousands. Yet, as always, the Vatican is out to kill those who believe like we do—and the world government, ruled by the Jesuit Order of the Vatican—is methodically working on another Inquisition!

Think about it! There are 5,000 plus denominations and organizations all under the banner of “Christian”--a 1.9 billion-member religion, and

none agree on all the same things except for one. They disagree on the Person of Messiah, the virgin birth, the accuracy of the Scriptures, eschatology, the doctrine of salvation, and etcetera, but this one thing they all agree on: That the Torah was done away with. This is the great rallying cry of the Church—anything Hebrew is Jewish, therefore to be rejected, and put away as obsolete, because the church replaced Israel. Therefore, they throw out the Hebrew Scriptures and the Jewish Messiah. They have created a god in their own image!

Speaking of the word “church”—where did it come from? The Greek word used is “ecclesia”, meaning an assembly or a congregation. The English translators went to the German “kirke”, bypassing the Greek, to find a word from which to take “church”. This word comes from the name of the daughter of the sun god, Circe, whose sun god dad was Helios. She earned a reputation among the

gods for turning men into pigs for fun. Why would the translators of the King James go to this German word, when the Greek word was correct? Why would Jerome go to “crux” when “stauros” is correct? Why would the English use “Christ” when the English word “Messiah” is the translation of the Hebrew “Machiach”? Why tamper with the Names and titles of the Father and Son at all? Only Satan would do that through his agents. If you use the word “assembly” or “congregation” for “church” it will be life changing.

The Messianic Writings, translated by pagan Greeks, from the original Hebrew, had no understanding of Hebrew things, and therefore, downplayed a lot of very important things. They also could not translate the Hebrew idioms, slang, plays on words, for Hebrew is a picture language. Hebrew cannot be translated across board. It is good to read the Messianic Writings from a Hebrew translation, which is available now.

To understand the Word more completely, substitute the Name “Yahuweh” for “Lord”. “Lord” is used 6, 823 times in the Word, where His Name should be

used. The word “Lord” in Hebrew is “Ba’al”. Substitute the word “Messiah” for

Page 18

“Christ”. Substitute “Elohim” for “God”. “God” is the name of a pagan god.

There are translations that do this substituting for you—a very few.

Hosea 2:16: “`And it shall be in that day’ declares Yahuweh, `that you will call me “Ishe” (my Husband), and no longer call Me “my Ba’al” ’ ”.

Why not call Him by His right Names now? (For more information on the Names of Yahuweh and Yahushua, ask for the article: The Hebrew Names and Titles of Elohim”.)

The Church went on a campaign to twist the words of the Apostle Sha’ul (who was “called Paulo” by the Romans/Acts 13:9 KJV) to make it appear as if he started a new religion that despised the Torah.

The Apostle Peter (Shimon Kepha) addresses this twisting in II Peter 3:15-16: “…and reckon the patience of our Master as deliverance, as also our beloved brother Sha’ul wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him, as also in all his letters, speaking in them concerning these matters, in which some are hard to understand, which those who are

untaught and unstable twist to their own destructions, as they do also the other Scriptures”.

This is talking about the Greek Jews (Hellenized from the time of Antiochus Ephiphanes) and Greek Greeks, whose Gnostic Christianity twisted Sha’ul’s words, and even denied the Torah of Yahuweh, teaching that Iesous did away with “the law” of Moses”. Maybe Iesous did away with it, but Yahushua did not.

Today, religious Christians, parroting their teachers, twist the Scriptures, picking a few verses from “Paul” to prove their theology. They are untaught by the

Ruach Yahuweh and unstable in belief—for they change their opinions according

to what teacher they hear, if the teacher has verses that are impressive.

From the first century, Rav Sha’ul fought this, for he was lied about over and

over by the Jews and the Greeks. Read Acts 21:17-26; 24:14-15 and 25:8—By Sha’ul’s own admission, he never sinned against the Torah. He fought the new Greek religion of “Christianity”, which was Gnostic (New Age occult paganism) and Platonic.

When Sha’ul talks about the Torah being replaced by grace in a few verses, the context shows that he is talking about the Torah of animal sacrifices, which were completed in Messiah’s death as the final Lamb of Elohim.

The word “Torah”, though it stands for the first five books of the Bible, simply

means “teachings”. In Greek, the word for Torah is “nomos”, which means “teachings”. In Ezekiel 43:10-12, Yahuweh tells Ezekiel to write the “Torah of the House”—the teachings about the Temple.

So, Sha’ul says that the teachings of animal sacrifice are not needed now, because we are in the blood covenant of the Messiah who is our Lamb. The teachings of animal sacrifice were added AFTER the teachings of the Covenant

with His people, because of sin. They were not a part of the original Covenant made between Yahuweh and His people. Yet, the untaught and unstable use a

Page 19

few verses from their Greek intellect, to throw out the whole of Scripture, which can only be fully understood from a Hebrew prospective.

This explains what Sha’ul is talking about in the book of Galatians. He is talking about the Gnostic teachers who had come into the assemblies. He is also talking about the Judaizers who came to say that their traditions were above the

Torah—like they do today. Many of these New Age teachers were women, who took over—thus usurping the authority of the male leadership. These were house assemblies. So, you can imagine the chaos they caused.

In Galatians Sha’ul is talking about the Torah—or teachings—of animal sacrifice being done away with…not the Torah Covenant of Yahwueh with His people.

But, the hair-tearing problems for Sha’ul were the Gnostic Greeks, whose counterfeit religion of “Christianity” taught “another Messiah”—the one who the people would follow rather than Yahushua. These Greeks brought in another gospel too (Galatians chapter 1). Their gospel was a gospel of belief, but it rejected the Torah. One could go to the ethereal pagan concept of heaven, but they didn’t have to obey Yahuweh nor enter any covenant with Him.

Yes, you read me right—Sha’ul fought Christianity. Christianity, invented in the mid-first century, was totally opposed to the teachings of the Apostles!

Thus we have today: Christianity, the world’s major religion, with the followers of

the Apostles’ teachings being a small remnant. Messiah came for a remnant! Christianity is the only religion that seriously and directly teaches its people that we do not have to obey the Torah of Yahuweh, but are under a Greek-style freedom they call “grace”. Yet, grace began in the Garden of

Eden, when Yahuweh made clothes from the bloody skin of an animal to clothe Adam and Hawwah. In the Tenach, the word for “grace” is “hased”—“loving-kindness; to nurture as a baby in the womb”. “His compassions, they fail not!” (Lamentations 3:22-23)

Yahuweh has saved His people from the beginning, without the gospel of Greece and Rome! Look up: Isaiah 43:11, 25; 44:22; Psalm 103:1-4, 12; and Micah 7:18-20—these are examples of His salvation before Messiah came.

A horrible misunderstanding by Christians is this: That the Jews were taught to trust in the death of the animal for their salvation. They were not! They were taught that through repentance and faith they received salvation from Yahuweh. The sacrifices were the action, which they did to show others that they had already been forgiven!

Habakkuk 2:4: “The just shall live by his faith”. Many Scriptures in the Tenach show that His salvation was not connected to the animal sacrifices, but to faith and obedience.

The twisting and lies, and deceptions, the falsehood and trickery taught by the

Greeks and Romans have indeed caused us to not know Him, “whom to know is life eternal”. The one major goal of the Orthodox Jews is to know Him. They

Page 20

are searching in wrong places, but their heart is to know Him. Therefore, He will save them with a mighty salvation, as Messiah is revealed to them by His Ruach.

John 5:43: “I have come in My Father’s Name, and you receive me not: If another shall come in his own name, him you will receive”.

In I Timothy 2:13, he says, “Adam was formed first, the Hawwah” (Eve). Gnostic, New Age teachings says that Adam was Hawwah’s little son—thus she was the first mother-goddess with her little baby son in tow, as in all the pagan statues and pictures of the mother-goddess, the Queen of heaven—from China to India, to the Catholic pictures of Mary. Hinduism has its mother and child gods too.

The Roman Emperor Hadrian reports that in the second century the Christians called themselves “Gnostic Christians”. Hadrian reports that they got the name “Christian” from the worshippers of the Egyptian-Hellenistic god Serapis, the sun god of Alexandria, Egypt, whose worshippers called themselves Christians and whose leadership called itself “the Bishops of Christ”. Did you know that the name of the religion of Greece and Rome came from Egypt?

The Roman Church father “St.” Jerome translated the Bible into Latin. Jerome was an admitted Gnostic. He inserted two words that have twisted the truth into lies. He inserted the Latin word for judicial “Law”, which did not carry

the meaning of Torah. If you will use the word “Torah” instead of “law”, it will change your life.

Jerome inserted the word “crux”—Latin for “cross”. The cross symbol was never used by the followers of the early Apostles. The “fish” symbol was never used by them either—it is a pagan symbol of the god Dagon. That was a symbol of the Greeks. The menorah was the symbol of the Hebrew assemblies of Yahushua. Look at the Pope’s hat—the open mouth of the fish god, Dagon.

Constantine used the sign of the cross, an ancient pagan fertility symbol attached to the Queen of Heaven, to form his sword, with which he went forth to

slaughter the Torah-observant believers and Jews. He made it law that anyone guarding anything Jewish would be killed.

Messiah Yahushua, as the Greek word “stauros” indicates, was nailed to a stake, pole, or tree – with hands overhead. Therefore, the Roman Church turned pagan symbols into Christian symbols, and thus perpetuated paganism. The symbol of the cross is ancient in paganism. It is found marked on rocks in all cultures. It is a fertility symbol of the sexual intercourse of the chief god with the Queen of heaven at Easter that produces the baby sun god, born on December 25th each year. The sun god, they say, dies in the winter and is resurrected on Easter Sunday morning to the cheers “he is risen; he is risen from the dead”. Oh my… even the Catholic Mass for Easter Sunday Morning is identical to the ancient ritual mass of the pagans worshipping the sun god.

This goes back to the original trinity of Nimrod, Samaramis, and Tammuz. The cross is also in the shape of the T—for the name of Tammuz—the first sun god.

Page 21

Tammuz was gored by a wild pig and died from it when he was 40 years old. Therefore, those “weeping for Tammuz” (Ezekiel 8:14) take the 40 days before his resurrection to weep, fast, and deny themselves their pleasures in honor of him. This is where the Roman Church got “Lent”. On Easter Sunday they eat ham to honor him again—killing the pig (boar).

But, in Protestantism, ham is also the traditional meat for Easter. The more you study on the pagan horrors of Easter and Christmas, the more your eyes will be opened.

The priests of Easter (Ishtar, Astarte, Asteroth; I Kings 18:19; Jeremiah7:18; 44:17-18), would impregnate young girls on Easter, then twelve months later,

take their 3 month-old babies and sacrifice them to the gods. The blood of these babies was used to dye the eggs, which represent the Queen of Heaven, who came to earth in an egg. To show her divinity, she turned bunnies into egg-laying bunnies. Thus, we have Easter Sunday morning Easter egg hunts, with dyed eggs, and Easter baskets filled with marshmallow and chocolate bunny rabbits. Do you see the horrors of being involved in this?

According to Leviticus 4, if we sin by mistake, or willingly, we must repent and come out of our sin totally. Yet, so many tag on Hebrew roots to their Jesus

worship, and thus are a mixture of good and evil. Yahuweh is calling: “Come out of her My people”… because His judgment on the great whore is near.

Excerpts from II Corinthians 6:14-7:1: “`Do not become unevenly yoked with unbelievers…Come out from among them ad be separate’, says Yahuweh, `and do not touch what is unclean and I shall receive you’…Having, then, these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of the flesh and the spirit, perfecting set-apartness in the fear of Elohim”.

“Be set apart as I am set apart”. (Leviticus 11:44-45; 19:1; 207-8; 26; I Peter 1:16)

The Romans hated anything Jewish or Hebrew. Historians say that Rome never died—it just hid in the Roman Catholic Church. The Pope became the Caesar. So Rome created a religion that also mocked, sneered at, and despised anything Hebrew. So Christianity, whether Roman Catholic, Anglican, or Protestant, Evangelical or Charismatic is on a foundation of deception, a foundation of paganism, and the doctrines have reflected the thinking of pagan Rome and Greece. The statue of St. Peter in front of the Vatican is an ancient statue of Jupiter, the chief god of the Romans.

The Church simply gave new names to pagan days, people and things, and presto, the religions of Zeus, Jupiter, and Mithra were disguised.

Look carefully at Colossians 1:13-14: It was our debt to Yahuweh that was

nailed to the stake—not the everlasting Covenant of the teachings of the Kingdom of heaven!

(For more information exposing the roots of the counterfeit pagan religion of

Page 22

Christianity, with excellent quotes from many sources, ask for my mini-book (86 pages) The Foundation of Deception.)

“And you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven all trespasses, having blotted out the certificate of debt against us—

by the dogmas that stood against us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the stake…” (Read that again carefully—being dead in sin and not being circumcised is put together! For the Covenants were made with those who would obey His Word.)

When Messiah died, He said: “It is finished”. This is a legal term, meaning “Debt

Cancelled—Paid in Full!” He paid the price for our transgressions—our breaking of His Torah.

Excerpts from Ephesians 2:11-19: “Therefore remember that you, being ONCE GENTILES in the flesh, called ‘the uncircumcision’ by what is called the `circumcision’ made in the flesh by hands, that at that time you were without Messiah, excluded from the citizenship of the promise, having no expectation and without Elohim in the world. But

now in Messiah Yahushua you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Messiah…So then, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the set-apart ones and members of the household of Elohim”.

I Corinthians 12:2: “You know that you WERE gentiles, led away to the dumb idols, even as you might be led”. You might say that in our sophisticated culture, we are not led away by “dumb idols”. Yet, the whole Greco/Roman culture of the West is based on the acquisition of “dumb idols”—money, money, money, materialistic possessions, college degrees for high-paying jobs, social positions and social standing with the elite, and always comfort and security. The house of Israel in 722BCE was scattered into all nations because of their worship of dumb idols—and the house of Israel still worships them.

The word “gentile” means: “Barbarian, pagan, heathen, stranger, foreigner, alien”. So, those uncircumcised in flesh and spirit, were outside of the Covenant of Yahuweh, and thus were brought into the “household of faith” by faith in Messiah. But, once in the household of faith, these ex-barbarians were to learn the Torah and begin to walk in His covenants. Those in Messiah do not seek dumb idols, they seek Him and follow Him wherever He leads them on!

Acts 15:17-21: “…`so that the remnant of mankind shall seek Yahuweh, even all the gentiles on whom My Name has been called’, says

Yahuweh, who is doing this…Therefore, I (The Apostle Ja’cob/James,

brother of the Apostle John, and head of the Jerusalem council) judge that we should not trouble those from among the gentiles who are turning to Elohim, but that we write to them to abstain from the

Page 23

defilements of idols, and from whoring and from what is strangled and from blood. For from ancient generations Moses has, in every city, those proclaiming him—being read in the congregations every Shabbat”. (Italics mine)

Verses 18-19 are used by the unstable who twist the Word to prove that the “gentiles” did not have to do anything except these four things…thus nullifying the Torah for “gentile Christians”. This myth is perpetuated today by Christians, Jews, and Messianic Jews. They say that there are two groups—Jews and

gentiles—those who practice the Torah, and those who do not have to practice the Torah.

As we read in Ephesians 2:11-12 and also in I Corinthians 12:2, no believer in Messiah is a gentile! Yahuweh made no covenant with gentiles. Jeremiah 31:31-34, talking about Messiah’s blood covenant, it is made with the house of Judah and the house of Israel – with the twelve tribes of Jacob.

In Matthew 15:24, Messiah says He was not called “except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel” (It would take an entire separate teaching to explain this

sufficiently, but it is explained in my article “Who Are the Ten?”), and in Matthew 10:5-6, He tells His disciples to only go to the “lost sheep of the house of Israel”.

Therefore, when the Apostles were scattered into the world, they only went to the house of Israel—not to “gentiles”. (Please read the article “Are You a

Gentile?”) Rav Sha’ul was called the Apostle to the gentiles. Yet, it is interesting that he found them mostly in synagogues! The Bible refers to basically three groups of people as “gentiles”—the Arabs, the Greeks and the Romans.

The ten tribes were not “lost” to the early Jews—only to themselves—as Hosea 2 and 3 points out. Thus the good news to the ten tribes scattered into all nations “AMONG THE GENTILES” between 1000-722 BCE was: Yahuweh has forgiven you--repent and return to Yahuweh and His Covenant through the blood of Messiah.

There is NOT ONE verse in the Tenach that calls the house of Israel/Ephraim/Joseph “gentile”. Always, Yahuweh says that He will bring them back from AMONG THE GENTILES. I have compiled a list of many Scriptures that talk about their return from “AMONG” the gentiles.

YAHUWEH NEVER CALLS HIS PEOPLE GENTILES! He says He will destroy the gentiles in order to free His children!

So, what was Ja’cob saying in Acts 15? These “gentiles” who were coming to Yahuweh from the nations, were coming with a past in idolatry and whoredom. Just as many Africans, when they become believers, they have to be delivered from those things that are attached to the witchcraft they had been steeped in.

They have to let go of certain things immediately—and then they can learn from the Word how to walk in the way of Messiah Yahushua and His Father.

Ja’cob was saying that these “gentiles”—returnees from the nations--must first immediately get rid of these practices attached to the temple worship of the

Page 24

gods, and then, go to synagogue each Shabbat and learn how to walk in the Torah of Yahuweh. This is the biggest theme in the whole Tenach!

Do you see how the leaving off of a verse can change the whole meaning of something? Christianity leaves off verse 21, in Acts 15, and therefore has a theology that denies the need for “gentiles” to guard the Torah of Yahuweh! The whole religion of Christianity is based on a verse here, a verse there, verses out of context, and theology that has come from pagan Greece and Rome.

Isn’t it time we got rid of the Greco/Roman from our lives, and learned His culture!

The manipulation of the Scriptures by those untaught and unstable has

perpetuated a religion that has kept multi-millions of people from knowing the real Father and the real Messiah of Israel.

I John 3:4: “Sin is the transgression of the Torah”. He paid the debt we owned for our transgressions (rebellion, revolt, break with His Torah). He did not do away with the Torah! He is the living Torah!

If sin is the transgression of something Yahuweh has thrown out—then there is no more sin, and no more need for a Savior! The Torah shows

us the standards of His Kingdom, so the transgression of it is to transgress the Kingdom rule. But, if there is no Torah observance

required anymore—then we don’t have to obey the rules of the Kingdom of heaven—we are free to do as we choose.

In 133 CE, Rabbi Akiva, disillusioned, because the man he thought was the messiah, Bar Kochba, had been killed by the Romans, began to start a new religion of his own. He canonized the Tenach, leaving out all books that referred to the coming Messiah as fulfilling Isaiah 53, being Elohim returning as the conquering King. Akiva almost excluded Daniel, but relegated it to the “Writings”. He taught that Yahuweh was just another rabbi, and so His opinion of the Torah was no better than any other rabbi’s opinion. Therefore, he started what is called Rabbinical Judaism—the religion of Jews today. Their Talmuds, and Oral Law, is considered above the Torah, just as the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church take precedence over the Word of Elohim.

Thus in 133 CE, two horrible things happened: 1) The Emperor Hadrian stopped the teaching of the Torah, and demanded all synagogues be closed, thus 2) the believers who had been going to the synagogues to learn the Torah were severed from their Hebrew roots. Only now, are the believers beginning to return to their roots in the Torah of Yahuweh.

In the 1700’s, there was a false Jewish messiah that arose named Shabbtai Tzvi.

He said that Yahuweh had thrown out the Torah and that, in fact, Yahuweh was demanding that all practice the opposite of the Torah. Thus sin of all types was

demanded by Yahuweh, he said. The Jews of that time, 75% of them, received this man as the messiah. Today, some of the followers of this man are well known leaders—like Shimon Peres of Israel.

Page 25

Shabbtai Tzvi was crowed the messiah in Gaza. Therefore, when the settlers were to be dragged from their homes in Gaza, August 15, 2005, Shimon Peres said: “Gaza first, for Shabbtai Tzvi”. The settlers were mostly Torah-guarding people. Therefore, the evil leadership in Israel, along with the evil leadership of America, is insisting that these Torah-guarding settlers be taken out of the Golan, the “West Bank” (Samaria) and East Jerusalem. The Torah is hated by the Luciferic world elite rulers, and the simpletons of religion who are taught to mock it.

Gnosticism is the religion of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The

Gnostics taught that in the Garden, Lucifer was the good god who illumined Eve, giving her knowledge (gnosis) of good and evil, and that Yahuweh was the dark

evil god who kept illumination from her. Today, this is the basic doctrine of the Masons and all Illuminati groups. It is basic New Age teaching. But, it is the underlying unspoken philosophy of Christianity. Therefore, Yahuweh and His Torah are still a thorn in the flesh of the Roman Catholic Church and the Vatican

is still trying to purge the earth of the Torah-observant Jews and the religious Jews. When the wrath of Satan goes out after the Torah-guarding ones, through

the edicts of the world ruler, what is referred to in Matthew 24:21-22, the horrendous world holocaust, will take place.

The faithful Creator gave us a way to live on this earth as close to His heaven as

possible. Because the evil one was thrust out of heaven, he wants vengeance on Yahuweh by trying to destroy His people who carry His Covenant, His Word, and His plans and purposes into the earth. He wants to destroy human beings, who are made in the image and likeness of Yahuweh. He wants to destroy the beauty of the earth, for it reflects the nature of the Creator.

He wants to destroy the beauty of the life of Torah, the boundaries and absolutes that keep children secure, within proper roles, the discipline of the Word, and submission to Yahuweh. Oh the life of peace and joy in knowing the giver of the Torah. It is interesting that man thinks “Jesus” came to do away with what the Father instituted for the good of His people. Do they read more than one verse at a time?

Luke 24:26-27, 44-45: After His resurrection, Messiah says: “Was it not necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things and to enter into His glory? And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He was explaining

to them in all the Scriptures the matters concerning Himself…And He said to them, `These are the words that I spoke to you while I was still

with you, that all have to be fulfilled that were written in the Torah of

Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me. Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures”.

Matthew 7:21-23: “Many shall say to Me in that day, `Master, Master, have we not prophesied in Your Name and cast out demons in Your Name, and done many mighty works in Your Name?’ And then I will

Page 26

say to them, `I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness’ ”.

What is “lawlessness”? The Greek is true in its use of the word “nomos” for the Hebrew “Torah”. Both words mean “teachings and instructions”. But, lawlessness is “anomia”—which means “without the Torah”. Therefore, these who think they are doing such good things in His Name, are without the Torah—and therefore unable to enter into His Kingdom. This describes the bulk of Christian ministry—especially in America—proud of their accomplishment for “Jesus”, but teaching men to reject the Torah. There is one coming called “the man of lawlessness”. He will try to destroy all vestiges of the Torah. But, Yahuweh will have a remnant that will be a thorn in his flesh. (II Thessalonians 2:3-12) The world will run after this world ruler. In Revelation 11, the world ruler kills the two witnesses who torment him and the world’s people, because they uphold Torah. The world’s people send presents to each other to celebrate their death. To their horror, the two witnesses don’t stay dead.

In the Word, you will only find three reasons for the wrath of Yahuweh!

1) For rejecting Yahuweh and His Torah.

2) For transgressing the Torah—which is sin.

3) For harming His people and/or His Land

Christianity teaches that the only reason for “God’s” judgment is the rejection of Jesus. Yet, the real Messiah of the Word was the living Torah—therefore to reject the Torah is to reject the Messiah Yahushua of Israel. You

cannot separate the eternal Word of Yahuweh from the Messiah Yahushua! To deny Messiah is to deny the Torah, thus breaking the eternal covenant.

Many religious Christians use “Paul” to override Messiah’s teachings. It is because man is lawless in his sin nature. He is happy that he can go to heaven

and still live his life as he wants to on earth. Jesus the Greek threw away the rulebook, therefore he forgives whatever we do. After all, we’re just flesh—right? Nobody’s perfect—right? So what’s this command to be “set-apart as He is set-apart”, to be “perfect”—mature--and “blameless” teaching in the Word?

In the Greco/Roman religion there is no responsibility to Yahuweh or His Word, no responsibility to obey anything—even Messiah’s words. This is why the

majority of Christians do not even obey the Messiah’s rules, which outnumber the Father’s instructions.

They overlook: “If you love Me keep My commandments”. “You are My friends if you do whatever I command you”. (John 14:15 and 15:14)

There are 613 commandments in the Torah, given by Yahuweh. Many are for the priests, for husband and wife, for children, for landowners, and property owners, and for different groups of people. There are over 900 commandments in the Messianic Writings. It doesn’t appear that Yahushua, nor His Apostles did away with “Law”, now does it?

Page 27

It has been said that America has more laws controlling its people than any other nation. But, in all nations, people obey hundreds upon hundreds of man-made laws every day without thinking about it—Federal laws, State Laws, local Laws, traffic laws, laws at work, laws at school, laws of society, laws of organizations,

laws of man in the church, laws of rules for eating, talking, pushing the grocery buggy, ad on and on—yet to obey the good rules of the Kingdom of heaven—NO—that’s despised as “the Law of the Jews”. Do you see the trap of the enemy—who appeals to our sin nature, which is in rebellion against Yahwueh?

It is as silly as believing that Messiah died to remove all stop lights from all cities of the earth, so that mankind could crash into each other, hurting each other, all in the name of demanding their own rights.

The Church said that Messiah gave us one command—“to love one another”. Yet, this command is part of the Torah--Leviticus 19:18: “…you shall love your neighbor as yourself”. The Greek concept of love is mainly fleshy, soulish feelings. Yet, the Hebrew concept of love is that you submit and obey the one loved.

The Greek idea of faith is belief according to experience or mental acceptance. The Hebrew understanding of faith is that unless you prove your belief by your actions, your faith is hypocrisy and phony (Ja’cob 2).

There is no unconditional love of Elohim spoken of in the Word, no place where there are not conditions attached to being loved. This, again, is a Greek concept, and from it we have been told that some illusive being called “God” loves us no matter what we do. Therefore, you have Christian churches whose members are all homosexual or lesbian, saying that Jesus loves them just the

way they are. But, of course, Christianity is not be based on Hebrew cultural Scripture, any more than Catholicism is, but it uses the Bible to give credence to its theological whims. (Carefully read John 14:15, 21-24; 15:10, 14; I John

3:21-22, 24; 5:2-3.) There is no such thing as faith without the “works” of obedience to the Covenant of Yahuweh!

The Scriptures cannot be understood from a Greek mind-set. In II Samuel 7:22-26, we see that Yahuweh’s Covenant was never made with mankind as a whole,

but only with the descendants of Jacob—the twelve tribes. The twelve tribes have been scattered in among the gentiles for centuries, but now, as Zechariah

tells us, the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Levi have come home to His Land, and the other tribes are trickling in.

When Messiah comes, all the tribes will be united into one Kingdom again, under

Messiah—Ezekiel 37:15-28. This is THE major theme of the entire Bible—

this is what Yahuweh is now doing “with all My heart and with all My soul”--Jeremiah 32:41. There is more Scripture about the restoration of the entire family of Jacob back to the Land, than on any other subject. To Yahuweh, this is national redemption. This is why Messiah came, which is not

Pae 28

understood by the Church.

From Exodus 12:48-49, and in other places, we see that Yahuweh always

allowed the true gentiles (Sons of Ishmael, sons of Lot, sons of Esau and Ishmael’s daughter, barbarians of the nations—like Romans and Greeks—to come into the covenant IF they guarded the Passover, were circumcised, and kept the Shabbat. In other words, He left no one out, for the Torah that He gave was for all men—His judicial rule for the earth. (Isaiah 56:3-7; Ecclesiastes 12:13-14; Ezekiel 47:21-23) Just as Ruth came into salvation and so did Rahab, by faith in Israel’s Elohim—these women were true gentiles—they came into the “household of faith” and therefore were in the lineage of Messiah.

II Samuel 7:22-24: A prayer of King David: “You are great indeed, O Master Yahuweh. For there is none like You, and there is no Elohim but You, according to all that we have heard with our ears. And who is like Your people, like Israel, the ONE NATION on the earth, whom Elohim went to redeem for Himself, as a people, to make for Himself a Name, and to do greatness and awesome deeds for Your Land before Your people, whom You redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, from the nations and their gods. And You have established for Yourself Your people Israel as Your own people FOREVER, and You, Yahuweh, have become their Elohim”.

He only made covenant with the descendants of Isaac and Jacob--Read Genesis—it the root of everything that is happening now—for we are returning to our inheritance and the Covenant promises made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

In the midst of a passage used to teach the future tribulation time, we read:

Malachi 4:4: “Remember the Torah of Moses My servant, which I commanded him in Horeb (Sinai) for all Israel—laws and right-rulings”. The passage before it is taught in the church, and the two verses after it were

used to start “Promise Keepers”—an evangelical men’s organization--but this verse is ignored! That is why I say that Christianity only uses the Bible to pick and choose verses to back its teachings. If it were based on the Bible, it would not pick and choose, but obey the whole of it.

John 3:36 in its correct translation from the Greek: “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”. The words for “believe” and “obey” are two different Greek words!

Yahushua comes with the wrath of His Father—as stated in the Word. He comes with vengeance, with His clothes stained in the blood of the wicked. He comes to destroy the wicked by fire, and to gather, then, His own into His “barns”—His sheep fold. He is not the lollypop god of the Greeks! (Revelation 19; Revelation 11:15-19; Isaiah 63:1-4; 34:2-5 and 59:14-21, as examples)

Page 29

So What Word is the Word talking about? -- The Tenach! There was no “New Testament” compiled until about 425 CE. There was no Brit Chadasha--no Messianic Writings--that were considered equal to the Tenach until the Church canonized them. In the Messianic Writings, all references to the Word are referring to the Tenach—the Torah, the Prophets and the Writings. Therefore, in

order to know the real Messiah of Israel, you must be taught by the Father, and by Moses, and by the Prophets, for unless you know the Father, you cannot

know the Son!

John 5:46-47 and 6:45: Messiah said: “For if you believed Moses, you would have believed Me, since he wrote about Me. But, if you do not believe his writings, how shall you believe My words?…It has been written in the prophets, `And they shall all be taught by Yahuweh’. Everyone, then, who has heard from the Father and learned, comes to Me”.

This is opposite of what Christianity teaches!

Here’s something you never hear on a Sunday morning in church—the passage from Matthew 19:16-21. Verses 16-17: “And, see, one came and said to Him, `Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life’? And He said to him, `Why do you call Me good? No one is good except the One—Elohim. But, if you wish to enter into life, guard the commandments’. And he said to Him, `Which?’…” And Yahushua continued on to name commandments 5-10 of the Ten Commandments. The man said that he guarded those from his youth. Then, Messiah added, that for perfection, He needed to follow Him.

Why didn’t Messiah say: “Just hang on until my resurrection, and you can be saved by faith in Me”? Why didn’t Messiah say: “Just believe in Me, and you’ll go to heaven when you die”? -- Because obedience to the commandments is paramount to knowing Him! You can’t follow a Jewish Rabbi unless you understand what that entails.

Messiah did not preach a Greco/Roman church message. He said in Luke 14:25-

33 that to follow Him meant to take up our own execution stake of death to self, and to forsake all that we have—or we cannot be His disciples. Who preaches

on that? Ja’cob said that if we are friends of the world, we are enemies of Elohim (Ja’cob 4:4)

A careful reading of the Bible for yourself will reveal that many things we have been taught in the church are not even there. Just as there is no verse in the Bible that talks about a seven-year tribulation, there is no verse in the Bible that

says if we pray a prayer of faith, we spend eternity in heaven! Eternity is on this earth! Did you know that? After 1,000 years under Messiah, the Father brings His City down here, and we stay on the earth, because the Bible says: “The righteous will NEVER be removed from the earth…” (Proverbs 2:21-22; Psalm 115:16; Psalm 37:9, 11, 22, 29 34; Isaiah 60:21; 57:13; 45:18; Matthew

13:30-49; John 17:15, etcetera)

Let’s look at Scriptures about the Word in the Word:

Page 30

II Timothy 3:13-17: “But, evil men and impostors shall go on to the worse, leading astray and being led astray. But, you, stay in what you have learned and trusted, having known from whom you have learned, and that from a babe you have known the Set-Apart Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Messiah Yahushua. All Scripture is breathed by Elohim and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for setting straight, for instructions in righteousness, that the man of Elohim might be fitted, equipped for every good work”.

The Tenach is the “Scriptures” Sha’ul was referring to! The Tenach makes one wise in the salvation of Messiah! It is the Word of truth.

John 17:17: “Your Word is Truth”.

Psalm 119:142, 160: “…And Your Word is Truth…The sum of Your Word is Truth, and all Your righteous right-rulings are forever”.

II Timothy 2:15: “Do your utmost to present yourself approved unto Elohim, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly handling the Word of Truth”.

II Peter 1:20-21: “…no prophecy of Scripture came to be of one’s own interpretation, for prophecy never came by the desire of man, but men of Elohim spoke, being moved by the Set-Apart Spirit”.

Proverbs 30:5-6; Deuteronomy 4:2: “Every Word of Elohim is tried; He is a shield to those taking refuge in Him. Do not add to His Words, lest you be found a liar”. “Do not add to the Word, which I command you, and do not take away from it, so as to guard the commands of Yahuweh your Elohim, which I am commanding you”.

For real clarification in your life, substitute the word “Torah” whenever you see the word “Law”. The two do not mean the same thing—one is Hebrew, one is Latin-based.

Deuteronomy 32:46-47: “…Set your heart on all the words with which I warn you today so that you command your children to guard to do all the Words of this Torah. For it is not a worthless Word to you, because it is your life, and by this Word you prolong your days on the soil which you pass over the Jordan to possess”.

As said above, there is one people, the seed of Isaac and Jacob. There is one

Land—the land of Israel. There is one Covenant—the Covenant of Yahuewh for His people. There is one complete Word—the Word of Yahuweh in written form,

and in the Messiah Yahushua, who came to renew the covenant of Yahuweh with His people.

Psalm 19:7-11: “The Torah of Yahuweh is perfect, restoring the soul.

The witness of Yahuweh is trustworthy, making wise the simple. The orders of Yahuweh are straight, rejoicing the heart. The command of Yahuweh is clear, enlightening the eyes. The fear of Yahuweh is clean,

Page 31

standing forever. The right-rulings of Yahuweh are true, they are righteous altogether. More desirable than gold, than much fine gold, and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb. Also, your servant is warned by them. In guarding them there is great reward”.

The religious critics say, “The Torah is obsolete”. If it is obsolete, why does it talk about the future? Jacob gave prophecy over his twelve sons “in the latter

days”. (Genesis 49:1) Why do those who reject Yahuweh’s rules of the Kingdom, use the verses they like or that support their theories? They use what they want—and throw the rest out. No Christian is going to throw out Psalm 23, and yet within it, in Hebrew, is reference to the Festivals.

They call His Torah, “the law of the Jews” or “the law of Moses”, yet in all His giving of the Covenant, He refers to Himself as the One speaking. Yet, there would be a prophet raised up “like unto Moses”, and that Prophet is Messiah Yahushua. (Deuteronomy 18:18-19)

Growing up in the Baptist church, there were favorite verses that we all had. I

did not connect them together until recently, and found out that they make a

complete picture. Some of the verses came from Psalm 119, but the word “law” distorted their true meaning.

Excerpts from Psalm 119: “Blessed are the perfect in the way, who walk in the Torah of Yahuweh…I have treasured up your Word in my heart that I might not sin against You…Open my eyes, that I might see wonders from Your Torah…Remove from me the way of falsehood, and favor me with Your Torah…The Torah of Your mouth is better to me than thousands of gold and silver pieces…Forever O Yahuweh, Your Word stands firm in the heavens…If Your Torah had not been my delight, I would have perished in my affliction…O how I love Your Torah. It is my study all the day long. Your commands make me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever before me. I have more understanding than all my teachers…Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path…Your righteousness is righteousness forever, and Your Torah is Truth…The sum of Your Word is truth, and all Your righteous right-rulings are forever…Great peace have those loving Your Torah, and for them there is no stumbling block.”

Joshua (Yehoshua) 1:7-8: “Only be strong and very courageous to guard

to do according to all the Torah which Moses, My servant, commanded

you…Do not let this Book of the Torah depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you guard to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous and act wisely”.

Though the Baptists did not come out and say it, their interpretation of Scripture was that if the word “law” was good, then it meant the New Testament, but if

Page 32

the word “law” was distasteful, it meant the “law of the Jews” and was not for us.

Psalm 1:1-3: “Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wrong, and does not stand in the path of sinners, and does not sit in the seat of scoffers, but his delight is in the Torah of Yahuweh, and he meditates in His Torah day and night. For he shall be as a tree

planted by the rivers of water, that yields its fruit in its season, whose leaf does not wither, and whatever he does prosper”.

Who are the “sinners” who rebel against the Torah or Yahuweh, and who mock and ridicule those who guard the Torah of Yahuweh? -- Your family, your friends, your work associates, your church? Who takes notice and lists you as a negative

factor on the earth when you obey Yahuweh? – Those who are part of the Luciferic world system—think! Who are your true friends and your true family?

Psalm 89:15: “Blessed are the people who know Your Festival trumpet call! They walk, O Yahuweh, in the light of Your face. In your Name they rejoice all day long…”

How sad that Christians are taught that the Festivals have been done away with. There is no rejoicing in the tents of the Christians on His Festival days. There is no rest on His Shabbat.

But, more and more Christians are now coming to Jerusalem for the Feast of Tabernacles, joining in with Christian teaching and tours. Most come from the West, primarily America, but some come from poor countries in Asia and Africa, too. This is good that they are touching base with home, however, they stay together in groups—they never learn their Hebrew roots by their own study alone with the Ruach, but get bits and pieces from teachers in conventions. They do not go out into the Land on their own, led by Him, to be taught by Him. Therefore, they go home with pages of notes from teaching meetings, souvenirs and pictures and memories, but with no substance about the culture or the people.

Many fear riding the public buses, so never rub shoulders with the IDF troops who are deployed on the buses, never sit by a Jewish grandma on her way to the market, never smile at Jewish children on their way to school, never help out in soup kitchens or distribution centers to the poor, never visit the settlers who are refugees in their own country, never stay at the Wall to be with those calling for Messiah to come, never see the real Jews who live there in the midst of

terror, yet go about their lives as usual. There are so many lessons to be learned if we let the Ruach show us things!

Christians have no day of rest that they can spend 24 hours in the presence of the Master with His Word. Sunday is the busiest day of the week, driving dedicated Christians from morning to night to fulfill the demands of the church. I know—I was an ordained minister in the Assembly of God church.

Christians are driven to spend money and do and do and do, all in the name of

Page 33

“holy-days”. When Christmas is over, most Americans sigh a sigh of relief. But, when the Festivals of Yahuweh are over, there is a mixture of sadness that the week is over, and joy at the memories of the week. The greeting then is: “Next year in Jerusalem”. There is a longing for the next Festival. The joy of the Festivals of Yahuweh bring peace and rest, bring families together, and teach the children about their roots in the Word.

Isaiah 8:19-20: “And when they say to you, `Seek those who are mediums ad wizards…should not a people seek their Elohim? To the Torah and to the Witness! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because they have no light” (literally “daybreak”).” (The “Witness” is an expression for the Ten Commandments.) If we do not speak according to the Torah, our visions, dreams, words and beliefs are useless.

Proverbs 28:4, 9: “Those who forsake the Torah praise the wrong. Those

who guard the Torah strive with them…He who turns away his ear from hearing the Torah, even his prayer is an abomination”.

Oh how Christians are fooled into believing that what looks good must be good, what sounds good and holds a Bible and says, “God bless you”, must be good. Because they have no rock-solid foundation in the Torah, their belief system is unstable, and so they are gullible and terribly naïve, they are tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine that appears good--for the most part. Some study—and I am thankful for them.

What is the Rock that Messiah says we are to dig down into?

Luke 6:46-48: “But, why do you call me `Master, Master’ and do not do what I say? Everyone who is coming to Me, and is hearing My words and doing them I shall show you whom he is like: He is like a man building a house who dug deep and laid a foundation on the rock, and when a flood came, the stream burst against that house but was unable to shake it for it was founded on a rock”.

The rock is Torah!

Whether Christians realize it or not, their attitude towards the Father is tainted by “Replacement Theology”—which puts a wedge between the Father and the Son, the Original and Renewed Covenants, between anything Hebrew and the world of the Greeks. This predominant theology in both Catholicism and Protestantism is that the church replaced Israel. Some Christians are dabbling out of curiosity into Hebrew roots. Some are trying to “play Jews” because the

church and Jews and Messianic people have not taught the truth about the whereabouts of the tribes of Jacob. The house of Israel/Ephraim/Joseph is not a second-class citizen to the house of Judah. The nickname “Jew” refers to one tribe only—Judah. The house of Israel is returning home to the Torah, to the Covenant, to Yahuweh, to the Land, and to their roots.

The “wild olive branch” that is grafted back into the tree of Israel is an olive

branch—not a peace, apple or apricot branch. The ones being grafted back in are the house of Israel. (Romans 11:17)

Slowly read the Torah—Genesis to Deuteronomy. Slowly read the Prophets, Isaiah to Malachi. Let the Ruach teach you your roots, as He cross-references all Scripture together to make one wonderful whole. The Kingdom that is coming

will be ruled by the Torah. Eternity will be ruled by the Torah. Isn’t it silly to say it is outmoded, obsolete, and history only? It is eternal!

There is much more I could say. I can go over the arguments of stubborn religious people, explaining this verse and that. But why? Isn’t it better to obey Him and know Him than to run around trying to change people’s minds that are already made up? Unless the Ruach is dealing with someone, they are satisfied in their deceptions. We might change their head-belief, and convince them of some argument, but only the Ruach can change the person’s spirit, and thus draw them out of deception. We can’t do that. Let us be led by the Spirit of the Father, and give example by our lives of the peace and joy of guarding His Torah.

Love and Shalom,
