THE FALL FEASTS: TRUTH AND LIES

As followers of the new covenant, we must be vigilant in seeking the truth and avoiding deception.  There are many sources of deception that can lead us astray.  Therefore, we must be like the Bereans who studied constantly for better understanding of the scriptures.  When we are grounded in truth, we are less likely to be deceived.  One prevalent deception involves the fall feasts. 

 

Leviticus 23 lists the spring and fall feasts of Yahweh. These were revealed as part of the old covenant. We are now approaching the time of the fall feasts for 2017.

These feasts are: Yom Teruah, (day of shouting), Yom Kippurim, (day of coverings) Sukkot, (feast of booths) and the Last Great Day. (Yom Gadol or Shemini Atzeret)

 

With the death of Messiah on the tree, the old covenant ended, and we are now observing the new covenant.  The sacrificial law of the old covenant was terminated as well as the Levitical priesthood. (Hebrews 7:12)

 

The new covenant presents some significant changes from the old covenant. Circumcision was changed from that of the flesh to that of the heart, or baptism. (Colossians 2:11)  The Passover service was also modified when Messiah washed the feet of his disciples.  He also instructed them to eat leavened bread and drink the fruit of the vine as symbols of his body and blood.

 

Paul introduced another significant difference between the old and new covenants. Remember that Messiah taught Paul for a three-year period following his conversion on the road to Damascus. In Hebrews 6: 1-2, he provided a revised list of feasts to be observed by the new covenant saints. The spring feasts were the same for both covenants.  However, the fall feasts introduced remarkable differences. The doctrine of Messiah lists only two feasts: Yom Teruah and Yom Gadol. Yom Kippurim and Sukkot are not included.

 

This change is very curious. Yom Kippurim and Sukkot are very significant feasts for the Jews, Messianics and Sacred Name groups.  Why the change?   Messiah may have given us some insight in these two scriptures:

 

Matthew 15: 3

“Why do ye also transgress the commandments of Yahweh by your traditions?”

 Mark 7: 7

“In vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.”

 

Messiah saw the future as he addressed the Pharisees and scribes.  They were teaching their oral traditions which were later written as the Talmud, Mishnah and other works. These traditions were heavily influenced by the Babylonian customs they encountered while in exile.

 

The Rabbinical Judaism of today is descended from the Pharisees who lived at the time of Messiah. The Universal Jewish Encyclopedia, 1943, states the following:

 “The Jewish religion as it is today traces its descent, without a break, through the centuries, from the Pharisees.”

 

The saints today are battling the same forces that existed at the time of Messiah. He foresaw the future and left his words of warning for us.  Paul and John further instruct the saints in Hebrews 6:1-2 and in 2 John 9-10.  The doctrine of Messiah provides significant instructions for the saints. The world is very distracted by the pagan beliefs of Babylon, but we are called to separate ourselves. Revelation 18:4 further warns us:  “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying ‘Come out of her, my people [the saints], that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not her plagues.’” 

 

My study of Yom Teruah has led me to a better understanding of how the rabbinical teaching about Rosh Hashanah has obscured the true meaning of this first feast of the seventh month. The Babylonian customs have redirected this date to become known as a new year for the Jewish religion. As you review the resources I am providing you, you will learn that the Babylonian Akitu festival has greatly facilitated this transformation. A good reference for insight into the significance of the Babylonian influence is found on Nehemia’s Wall, in the article titled, How Yom Teruah Became Rosh Hashanah.

http://www.nehemiaswall.com/yom-truah-day-shouting-became-rosh-hashanah

 

The author of this article clearly says, “The transformation of Yom Teruah (day of shouting) into Rosh Hashanah is the result of the pagan Babylonian influence upon the Jewish nation.”  It began with the adoption of the Babylonian names for the months and then worked its way deeper. The true meaning of Yom Teruah is masked by this Babylonian influence, which infects Yom Kippurim and Sukkot as well. Yom Teruah has significance for the saints, while Yom Kippurim and Sukkot have another purpose that does not involve the saints.  This lack of relevance to the saints allows for their surgical removal from the new covenant.

 

Michael Hoffman, a scholar who has exposed the evil behind the Talmud, addresses the negative Babylonian influence on Yom Teruah and Sukkot in his book, Judaism Discovered, page 940. He reveals a Babylonian superstition called tashlikh that has become connected to the myth of Rosh Hashanah. He further reveals a Babylonian influence on Sukkot called Hoshanah Rabbah, which he calls, “a sort of rabbinic Groundhog Day.”

 

The first day of the seventh month, a new moon, celebrates the return of Messiah. The rabbinical Jews have no interest in this understanding. They see themselves as the Messiah and soon-to-be rulers of the world.

 

The last great day, or eighth day of the feast of booths, celebrates the white throne judgment when the rest of mankind is resurrected and then judged by the saints. Rabbinical Jews also obscure the correct meaning of this day.

 

The two fall feasts in the doctrine of Messiah pertain only to the activities of the saints. The other two do not and are therefore easily not observed by the saints of the new covenant.

 

By following the doctrine of Messiah, the saints are able to avoid promoting the Babylonian Talmud and giving credence to its lies.  We are in the business of truth. I believe that observing Yom Kippurim and Sukkot, in opposition to the guidance from the doctrine of Messiah, is a deadly mistake for saints striving to overcome. We easily don’t promote Christmas, Easter, New Year’s Day and Halloween, but the two old covenant feasts have been quietly accepted. If we love Messiah, we will keep his Commandments. (John 14:15)

 

The Internet has some very good information about the Babylonian influence.

Jewish Religion: Its Influence Today by Elizabeth Dilling

http://www.comeandhear.com

 

Revelation 14:1 indicates that only 144,000 saints will be resurrected when Messiah returns. That is very small number out of billions. How do you become a saint?  Only the Father will call you. (John 6:44)  The Messiah will choose you. (John 15:16)  The rest of mankind will be resurrected after the 1000-year reign of Messiah. The saints will be judging the rest of mankind during this period.

 

We at the Light of YahwehShua are not looking for members. The Father sends those whom He is calling.  We are trying to be an assembly point for those Yahweh Is calling at this time. How do you know if you’re being called?  Pray to Yahweh for truth, study, and contact one of our elders for guidance.

 

If it is determined that you are being called to be a saint, what is next?  You should read all the articles on this website and allow an elder to help you learn more. The goal is to prepare you for baptism. You must be baptized in the name of YahwehShua.  Following immersion, an elder will lay his hands on you and at that time, the Spirit of the Father is freely given to you. (Acts 8: 17-18) During the rest of your life, the Spirit of the Son will be forming within you. (Galatians 4:19)

Your obedience to the commandments of Messiah YahwehShua nourishes the growth of His Spirit. It is only the presence of the Son’s Spirit within you that allows your resurrection when Messiah returns. (Romans 8:11)

 

Remember that many are called, but few chosen. (Matthew 20:16)  This is a unique opportunity. Following baptism and growth of the Spirit within, you will discover your mind is more open to spiritual truth. This is a very exciting discovery.

Obedience to the commandments of Messiah is fundamental. This is why the topic of this article is so important. You must strive to overcome everyday.

(1 John 5:4-5; Revelation, chapters 2 and 3 and 21:7)

 

Being baptized and receiving the Spirit is only the beginning. At any time you can be deceived.  (Matthew 24:24)  You must be open to learning, and growing in grace and knowledge on a daily basis.  We are available to pray for you, study with you and assemble with you. We are a resource to assist you in your journey to the better resurrection. (Hebrews 11:35)

 

Messiah is the mediator of a better covenant (new covenant) and better promises. (Inheritance of the firstborn or a double portion, Hebrews 8:6)  There is so much to learn and achieve.  Remember, you can do all things through Messiah that strengthens you. (Philippians 4:13)  Once you are chosen, Messiah will never leave you or forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5)

 

The world is being deceived. The religious organizations are also being deceived.  The truth is only available to those called and chosen to be saints.  Pray about this opportunity.  Be open to doing whatever it takes to walk in the footsteps of Messiah.

THE TRUTH ABOUT YOM KIPPURIM

The Jews and many other groups still observe Yom Kippurim. They have fallen for a deception that has been promoted as truth for hundreds of years.

I, too, was there myself not long ago. Satan relies on a mixture of the truth, half-truth, and lies. This was his approach in the Garden of Eden and he has continued with this strategy ever since.

Paul often tells us to prove all things. (1Thessalonians 5:21, Galatians 6:4, Romans 12:2)  We must avoid doctrines that seem right but have not been proven according to Yahweh’s word. (1Timothy 4: 1, 1 John 4:1)

I have often accepted beliefs because I trusted those who also believe them, not because I studied to prove them.  When I first joined the Worldwide Church of g-d, it was not because I performed an exhaustive study of their beliefs, but because Herbert Armstrong sounded so convincing.  I believed him rather than scripture.

I believed him about the seventh day Sabbath because my Christian education taught me about the 10 Commandments. These commandments proclaim the seventh day Sabbath. I was not able to accept the Christian teaching that the Sabbath had been changed. When Mr. Armstrong taught about the seventh day Sabbath, I assumed the other teachings would also be true. This was not the way to prove all things.

For example Mr. Armstrong talked about tithing. I found this in the Bible and thought it too must be true. I did not search deep enough to learn the truth about tithing. Eventually it was made known to me that the tithing under the old covenant was only for the Levites. (Numbers 18: 21, 24)  There is no tithing under the new covenant.  Free will offerings are encouraged, but not demanded.  I tithed a lot of money to Worldwide and sacred name groups for many years as a result of my ignorance and lack of study to prove what it is actually true.

For many years I kept the seven feasts revealed in Leviticus 23. Later I was able to learn that this was according to the old covenant sacrificial law. This law, but not the Royal law, ended with the death of Messiah on the tree.

Yahweh allowed me to learn His Son’s “name of inheritance”. I was able to do this by reading an excellent study prepared by George Gabler. (http://kahalyahweh.net/articles/nameofinheritance.htm)

Through this study I learned about a scripture I had never noticed before:  Deuteronomy 29:20:

Yahweh will not spare him, then the anger of Yahweh and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and Yahweh shall blot out his name from under heaven.

Yes, this was according to the added law of the old covenant that whoever died in sin had their name blotted out.  Only one man died in sin.  Messiah absorbed all sin. This law was in effect until Messiah died on the tree. Messiah had to live and die under this law. (Galatians 4:4)  Since he was under this old covenant sacrificial law, his given name at birth was blotted out.  This is why he had to inherit a new name. (Hebrews 1:4)  This understanding changed everything for me. Please read the “Name of Inheritance” for yourself and review the articles on this website to learn more about the importance of the name of YahwehShua, the name of inheritance.

For years I had recognized Jesus as the Son’s name. Later I accepted the teaching that the name was not Jesus, but Yahshua. When I came to the inherited name, I really had to study and pray for truth. This was truly the first time I studied to prove it to myself. The name is not found in the Bible like Jesus or Yahshua. It must be revealed. (John 6:44)

Along the way I have learned about the doctrine of Messiah as revealed in Hebrews 6:1-2.  Yes, this information had been there all along, just like Deuteronomy 29:20.  I then learned that the apostle John made a very strong statement about the importance of the doctrine of Messiah. He tells us this in his second letter verse nine: “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Messiah, hath not Yahweh. He that abideth in the doctrine of Messiah, he hath both the Father and the Son.” This really got my attention and caused me to study this doctrine more deeply.

My studies have revealed that this commandment from Messiah has replaced the old covenant teaching found in Leviticus 23.  In fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12) my brethren and I have chosen to fully commit ourselves to the doctrine of Messiah. By doing this we have truly left the old covenant. We have been told in Hebrews 7:12 that there was a change. Now we have accepted this truth and are practicing it.

I have left behind Sunday, circumcision in the flesh, Jesus, tithing and many other incorrect teachings. I invite you to take this same journey and discover the truth.

Through study and prayer I am convinced that the correct keeping of the fall feasts is by observing only Yom Teruah and Yom Gadol. Upon deeper study, Yom Kippurim as it is kept today is not scriptural. It is based on the traditions of men. The Talmudic rabbinical teachings have greatly contributed to this and have influenced the way Christians and sacred name groups have held onto this old covenant teaching.  Sukkot is not as sinister as Yom Kippurim but because Messiah left it out of his Commandments, we must not observe it as we have chosen not to observe Yom Kippurim.

You must decide if you really want the truth and do whatever it takes. If you are searching for the truth and what I have said here is of interest, then perhaps you are being called. We are here to help. Pray for truth to Yahweh and contact our elders for help.  If you wish to submit a question or comment, please email our Elder at john12e4567@gmail.com. 

THE DOCTRINE OF MESSIAH AND THE FALL FEASTS

The fall feasts of Yahweh are listed in Leviticus 23. They are part of the sacrificial law added in the second year following the covenant that was made on Mount Sinai.  The fall feasts listed in this chapter are as follows: Yom Teruah (trumpets), Yom Kippurim (day of coverings), Sukkot (tabernacles) and Yom Gadol  (the last great day).

 

These days are observed in the seventh month of the Hebrew year.  (Tishri)  Yom Teruah is a new moon and must be observed from Jerusalem.

 

These feasts are under the old covenant sacrificial law. This law ended with the death of Messiah on the tree. The new covenant was instituted with the arrival of the Spirit of the Father on Pentecost. (Shavuoth)

 

These feasts are listed differently in the doctrine of Messiah, which is found in Hebrews 6:1-2. Here you find the feasts that are for the saints only.  The saints are those called and chosen during this age. The new covenant includes only two fall feasts, Yom Teruah and Yom Gadol.

 

The apostle Paul reveals the doctrine of Messiah. But it is the apostle John in his second letter, verses nine and ten, who enlightens us further as to their importance. He also provides a warning about the necessity of this doctrine and the requirement of obedience.

 

The saints of the new covenant must be very familiar with the doctrine of Messiah. We are no longer under the old covenant and must focus our allegiance to the new covenant.

 

Remember, how circumcision was changed. Under the old covenant, circumcision was required to be able to participate in Passover. Then in Acts 15, the apostles revealed a change. Circumcision became of the heart and no longer in the flesh.

 

Paul just as suddenly and quietly introduced a change in the fall feasts. The apostle John added his support to this significant change. We must pay attention to this new commandment.

 

With the death of Messiah on the tree, Yom Kippurim ended. The Levitical high priests were no longer necessary. The Father installed a new high priest after Messiah’s death and acceptance. Paul provides this insight in Hebrews 9:23-28:

 

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.   For Messiah is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of Yahweh for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world; but now once in the end of the world [age] hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself.  And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So Messiah was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin onto salvation.”

 

Further information regarding this change was also provided by John in Revelation 11:19:  “And the Temple of Yahweh was opened in heaven, and there was seen in his temple the ark of his testament [in Greek: covenant]; and there were lightnings, and voices, and thunderings, and earthquakes, and great hail.”

 

The physical Ark of the Covenant is not in existence today and has not been seen since the siege of Jerusalem by the Babylonians. However, the spiritual reality of the Ark is available in heaven. This is the pattern given to Moses when he had the Ark constructed. Because there is a heavenly reality and a physical shadow, there is room for modification of the physical to more closely approximate the heavenly.

 

The Levitical high priest was required to enter the holy of holies once each year. With the termination of the old covenant and the installation of Messiah as the high priest of the order of Melchizidek, this ritual was no longer necessary. The annual entry into the holy of holies was displaced by this one act.

 

When Messiah returns on Yom Teruah at the start of his 1000-year reign on earth, we are told that Sukkot will be reinstituted, as will the Levitical priesthood. However, no scripture indicates that Yom Kippurim is reinstituted.

 

The Christian and Sacred Name groups’ understanding of Yom Kippurim is heavily influenced by the Talmudic Jews. It is the Talmud that provides the mythology behind the false understanding of Yom Kippurim. Many believe that Satan is actively involved during Yom Kippurim and we must continue to observe this feast day to counteract his activity. Messiah warned us about the traditions of men and influence of the Pharisees on Yahweh’s truth. For more background on this influence please refer to this article by Rabbi Dr. Raphael Zarum found at:

https://www.thejc.com/judaism/features/how-yom-kippur-can-silence-the-wounding-tongue-of-satan-1.48737

 

There is no need to fast. Messiah provides this insight in Matthew 9:14-15:

 

Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?

And Yahshua said unto them, can the children of the bride-chamber mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them?  But the days will come when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

 

This was during the time when the disciples were physically with Messiah and therefore there was no need to fast. Today, Messiah is with his saints.  Ever since Pentecost, Messiah has been formed within each of his saints. He is always with us. Therefore the ritual of fasting during Yom Kippurim is not necessary.  This is further confirmed in Matthew 1:23 where Messiah is given the name Emmanuel which means, “El is with us.”

 

Messiah entered the holy of holies in heaven ONCE. (Hebrews 9:12)  He did not use the blood of bulls and goats, but his own blood. This one act provided age-abiding redemption for all mankind. But in this age the only ones under judgment are the saints. (1Peter 4:17)  The saints will judge the rest of mankind during the last great day, or Yom Gadol.

 

The saints of this age are striving to overcome in order to qualify for the better resurrection when Messiah returns. Obedience to Messiah’s Commandments is necessary to be successful in this effort. If we love Messiah we must keep his Commandments. (John 14:15)

 

 Messiah said this to the Pharisees in Matthew 15:8-9: 

 

The people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.  But in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

 

Those who wish to overcome to the better resurrection need to heed this admonition. We do not want to be promoting the doctrines of men. There is only one way, the doctrine of Messiah.

 

The previous article I referred to will provide insight into the Talmudic influence regarding the observance of Yom Kippur. I wish to refer you to a second article that will provide insight into the Christian perspective of observing Yom Kippurim:

http://www.cogwriter.com/news/doctrine/the-day-of-atonement-does-picture-satan-being-bound/

 

As you read this resource, you will note that Leviticus 16 is used to support the continued keeping of Yom Kippurim.

 

On page two the author says this, “Christians note the parallels between the first of the two goats with Jesus and the second of the two goats with Satan [the Azazel goat.]”  This is a very dangerous misunderstanding of Yahweh’s truth.  A scriptural understanding does not support this interpretation.

 

In Leviticus 16:21, we are told Aaron laid both of his hands on the live Azazel goat imparting the sins of the children of Israel on that goat. How can this goat represent Satan?  Scripture tells us very clearly that only Messiah took the sin of all mankind on himself. Only Messiah became sin. (2 Corinthians 5:21)

 

The correct understanding of Leviticus 16 is that both goats represented Messiah. The first goat was slain, as was Messiah. The second goat received all of the iniquity of Israel. Only Messiah could take upon himself the sin of the world. Satan has no part in this. Only Messiah cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)

 

It is this kind of lie that John warned us against in 2 John 10:  “If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him g-d speed.” [Greek: health or success]

Brethren, we must examine our beliefs carefully. We do not want to lead astray any of the little ones. (Matthew 18:6)

 

The saints of the Light of YahwehShua do not observe Yom Kippur.  We will have nothing to do with it. It is an old covenant belief and it is no longer in effect. The mythology of the current beliefs regarding Yom Kippurim are being utilized by the Pharisees, Christians and members of the Sacred Name groups to persist in this false doctrine. Do not be deceived. Study the doctrine of the Messiah carefully and pray to Yahweh for truth.

The Importance of Words!

I was reviewing a website recently that provided some insight regarding the reality of what is happening in the world today. The problem is that the perception of reality varies so much from person to person. An opening quote gave insight into why these variations exist:

 

“The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.”  Philip K Dick

 

http://www.henrymakow.com/2017/08/ten-examples-of-illuminati-doublespeak.html.

 

Satan used this strategy from the very beginning when he interacted with Eve: (Genesis 3: 1-5) 

 

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which Yahweh Elohim had made.  And he said unto the woman, “Yea, hath Elohim said. Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?”  And the woman said unto the serpent, “we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden Elohim hath said, ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.”   And the serpent said unto the woman, “ye shall not surely die:  For Elohim doth know that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as Elohim, knowing good and evil.”

 

Eve had never experienced death. She didn’t realize there was a physical death as well as a spiritual death. Satan capitalized on her lack of knowledge and was able to manipulate her. He contradicted Yahweh by asserting that in fact she would not die, despite what Adam was told in Genesis 2:17:  “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:  for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”  Yahweh gave that instruction to Adam, not directly to Eve. She was at a disadvantage and was therefore open to manipulation. Satan took advantage of her lack of knowledge and supplemented this by appealing to her senses and not her reasoning.

 

By carefully creating a new understanding of reality, Satan was able to change Eve’s behavior.  This is happening worldwide today. What at one time was considered evil is now good. What was good is now evil. The evil has become natural and the good unnatural.  This is a play on our feelings which avoids the reality found in Yahweh’s word.

 

What kind of being manipulates words? A liar!  This is what Messiah called Satan. In fact, he said Satan was the father of lies. (John 8:44)

 

Messiah was executed on the basis of a lie. The world is in the stranglehold of a great deception. The Saints will eventually be overcome because of lies.  You too, are being lied to right now by your government, the educational system and religionists.

 

The key of knowledge has been hidden. Messiah chastised the Pharisees for their part in this theft. (Luke 11:52)  The Pharisees continue this charade today through the Talmud and Zionism. The Christian Church has a role in this deception as well.

 

The Bible translations we have today have been a source of misinformation that has kept mankind from receiving the truth of Yahweh’s word. The key of knowledge is Yahweh’s name.  When you look into the Old Testament of the King James Version, you find the capitalized word, LORD. This is not a translation of the Hebrew, but a substitution.

 

Go beyond the King James Version and open a Rotherham Emphasized Bible or a Catholic New Jerusalem Bible. In these you will find the Hebrew Tetragrammaton correctly translated as Yahweh. The King James Version of Genesis 3:1 builds on Satan’s deception of Eve by hiding the name of Yahweh.

 

Unless you are willing to go beyond just reading the Bible and actually study what is behind the words of the Bible, you will be deceived. I urge you to take a Strong’s Concordance and examine the English words for their Hebrew and Greek origins.  Take for example the Hebrew word olam.  It is used over 400 times in the Old Testament. It is often translated as for ever, everlasting, evermore or long. However, the Rotherham translation has correctly translated olam as age-abiding.

Why?  For more information read the article at the following website:

http://kahalyahweh.net/articles/forever-20160116.html.

What about the word, Gentile? We have been taught that the Old Testament uses this term only for non-Israelites. Not true!  Gentile is translated from the Hebrew word goy or Strong’s number H1471.  This word is found over 500 times in the King James Version of the Old Testament.  It is found to be translated as nations, heathen, Gentile or people. Yes, this one Hebrew word is translated by at least four different English words.

 

I am going to refer you to another website where the author has an article entitled, That Unfortunate Word, “Gentile”. This very intriguing article will help you see the value of manipulating words to promote a deception.

http://www.hope-of-israel.org/unfortunateword.html

 

The Pharisaical Talmud teaches that the goyim are animals and are bred for slavery. This next website will give you more information about this teaching and how it is able to exist because of the manipulation of words.

https://www.henrymakow.com/2017/07/talmudic-nwo.html

 

In fact, a Bible has been written that builds on the deception created by the mistranslation of the word goy. This is the Scofield Bible. Cyrus Scofield was recruited by Talmudic Jews to deceive Christians and elevate their status as the “chosen people”.  This has helped pave the way to the Talmudic definition of reality and the Noahide Laws. Please visit this website for more information about this dangerous reality:  http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/wolves/scofield.html

 

The word of Yahweh reveals that ALL mankind are goyim, even the Jews.   In Isaiah 1:1, Judah and Jerusalem are called a sinful nation. The Hebrew word from which nation is translated is goy. (H1471)  In Jeremiah 31:36 we are told that Israel shall cease from being a nation. (goy, H1471)  We also find in the book of Joshua 3:17 and 4:1 that the Israelites are described as being goy. (H1471)  All nations and people of the world are identified as goy in the word of Yahweh, including the Israelites and Jews.

 

The English word, hell, is found in the English translations of the Old Testament and New Testament.  However, when you go to the Strong’s Concordance you will find that this word in the Old Testament is translated from the Hebrew word sheol (H7585) or grave. The Old Testament does not reveal a burning place of eternal torment. Nor does the New Testament support this idea.  For more information about the true origin of the word hell and how its manipulation adds to this deception, please go to this website: tentmaker.org

 

How about the tradition that Messiah died on a cross? When you look up the word cross in Strong’s Concordance, you will find the Greek word stauros. (G4716) You will find that this word does not mean a cross. The word, cross, that you find in the New Testament is actually taken from the Latin Vulgate. Luke tells us that Messiah died on a tree.  (Acts 10: 39)  The apostle Peter supports this in first Peter 2:24.  This is another lie that comes from man’s tradition.

 

The cross is a pagan symbol that existed long before the Messiah walked the earth. When I visited the Philippines several years ago, I stopped at the island of Cebu. This is where Magellan landed and showed his Christian cross to the natives. However, he was surprised to see that they also showed him their crosses. Their crosses were not Christian, but were associated with their non-Christian beliefs.

 

We learn in Ezekiel 8:14 that some Jews worshiped the pagan deity Tammuz. The symbol for Tammuz was the cross.  The cross is a pagan symbol with a long history. Yes, even many Jews honored the cross as a symbol of their belief in Tammuz.  Please consider the history of the cross found at this website:  sabbathcovenant.com

 

Are you tired of the religious lies?  If this describes how you feel, please review this article entitled, Are Religious Lies Ethical?  It is found at this website:

You should desire the truth. Your eternal life is at stake. It will take some effort to unmask the lies and find the truth. Is it worth it to you?

 

A really big religious lie is that our Creator is named GOD! The English translation of the Old Testament uses the word God, but the Hebrew word that it is translated from is Elohim. (H430) While the English translation lies to us about the name of our Creator, the Hebrew tells us his name is Yahweh. The Talmudic Jewish tradition tells us the name of our Creator is ineffable or should not be spoken. The Catholics and Protestants have adopted this perspective.  They have chosen to use God, Theos or perhaps Jehovah. These are all false!  Please go to this website and articles for some eye-opening truth:

Please read the other articles on our website. You will find that the name of salvation is also hidden. Do you wish to know the truth about salvation?  Perhaps you wish to gamble and just see what happens!

 

The apostle Peter made a very strong declaration regarding salvation in

Acts 4: 12: “Neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

 

Do you know THAT name or just think you know? The other articles on our website reveal the true name of salvation. It is not what you think. The name of salvation is not seen in the Hebrew or Greek scriptures, and certainly not in the English translations. The name of salvation is only revealed by the Father. (John 6:44)

 

Do you really need the correct name of the Father Yahweh or his Son?  Perhaps you believe he knows your heart? Yahweh declares his name in Isaiah 42:8: “I am Yahweh:  that is my name:”

 

What about the Son’s name? By reading the other articles on our website you will learn that Messiah had two names. He was given a common human name at birth, Yahshua, and after his resurrection his Father gave him His name of inheritance. (Hebrews 1:4)  In Acts 2: 37 we read: “Now when they heard this, they were pierced in their heart, and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, men and brethren, what shall we do? “

 

Is that a question you should be asking? Peter provides the answer in verse 38: “repent and be baptized every one of you IN THE NAME OF__________________ [my emphasis] for the remission of sins and he shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

 

I have purposely left the name that Peter spoke blank. Why?  The name you find in all translations is incorrect. The name of salvation, the name of life, or the inherited name is not the name given to him at birth.  The name you need to know is the resurrected name or the name of the inheritance. The name that Messiah had when he died on the tree is not the name for baptism.

 

If you wish to be in the better resurrection, (Hebrews 11: 35) you must know the correct name for baptism. This is why there are so few saints in that resurrection (144,000). Many are called but few are chosen. Yes, there is a second resurrection where all the rest of mankind will be resurrected and given an opportunity to be in the kingdom. If you are being called in this present age, you are being given the opportunity to be a priest in the kingdom and not face a second death. Yahweh is truly loving. All mankind will be resurrected and be in the new heaven and earth. There is no eternal torment!

 

For even more truth, I’m going to refer you to this website to learn the significance of the name of inheritance:

Please go to Yahweh in prayer. Ask that He reveal his truth to you. Pray fervently.  This is vital knowledge that you must have to be in the better resurrection. The rest of eternity depends on what you do or don’t do now. If we can be of help, please contact us. We’re not looking for members, but only trying to identify those whom Yahweh sends. We are able to baptize those who request it. Please inquire if you are interested.  If you wish to submit a question or comment, please email our Elder at john12e4567@gmail.com. May Yahweh guide you. Remember, you must work out your own salvation in fear and trembling. (Philippians 2: 12)

Why Is Love Greater than Faith and Hope?

The following article was offered to us by a beloved brother in the Philippines.

1 Corinthians 13:13 declares, "Now these three things abide, faith, hope, and love, but the greatest of these is love."

 

According to Hebrews 13, both faith and hope are unrealized and do not exist as tangible ideals except through our deeds. Ya'acob, aka James, states,  "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."  And "show me your faith by your words and I will show you faith by what I do."

 

Abba Yahweh showed His eternal love (agape) by giving His only begotten son to die for the whole world's sins (not just those who believe) as seen in John 3:16. "For Yahweh loved the world so much that He sent His only begotten son to die for our sins, so that whoever believes in Him (Meshiach YahwehShua) may have age abiding life."

 

But have you ever considered the other John 3:16, which is 1 John 3:16? "Hereby perceive we the love (of Messiah), because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.” The manner of love Meshiach showed for us should be reciprocated by our willingness to do the same for our brethren!

 

To give one's own life for the sake of another person or group of people is highly esteemed and honored even among the people of the world of other faiths, or even lack of any sort of faith at all.  Our calling is to lay down our lives for the brethren, as Messiah was obedient even to surrender to death for us!  We may not think we could give our lives for our brethren, but when we realize what He has done for us, and our hope and faith come to perfection in Messiah, we will ultimately show our love by our death.  As Paul said, "...I die daily....", he was not just talking about a one time dying, but he set aside his own desires to accommodate the will of Yahweh, and obedience to Yahweh rather than follow after that which his flesh desired.  That is a daily sacrifice, which was continual until he said, "I have run the race; I have fought the good fight (spiritual warfare; not the wars or fighting the people of the world fight); I have kept the Faith!"  At that point he made his ultimate decision, because Love had become a reality to him, and soon thereafter he gave up his physical life and died in service for the Body of Messiah, the Brethren.

 

1 Corinthians 13 says, " When I was a child I spoke as a child, and did childish things, but when I became a man I put away childish things."  Paul was talking about growing in the grace of love, not putting away our gifts and talents.  Most people think it means to put off the gifts and talents he previously discussed, but it means rather to use them for the Body of Messiah, and not our own selfish desires.  Many cannot think of giving everything we own or our bodies to be burned as selfish acts, but if they are to promote our own desires or our own beliefs that is ALL self, and not sacrifice for others.  1 John 3:18 "My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue, but in deed and truth."

 

Matthew 24:12-13 says, "And because iniquity (iniquity is sin within us as part of our nature or character) shall abound, the love of many shall grow cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved."  Meshiach Yah'shua not only warns against sin in Matthew 24, but He also warns against allowing our love to grow cold whether it be because of our sins or the sins of people in the world, and even the sins of brethren who are not perfected in love.  Yahchonnan also warns against our denying that we have sin and iniquity, and tells us what to do with it in 1John 1:8-10, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (iniquity).  If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us."

 

We know from the scriptures that Yahweh is eternal love.  When Yahweh is all in all and all that is left is Love or the Yahwehkind, then that which we hope for, and that in which we have faith, will become a reality and no longer something intangible such as faith and hope.  In this age, scripture says that they [the world] will know us by our love for one another. 

 

Are we willing to selflessly offer ourselves for our brethren? If so, you are made perfect in love as Paul talks about.

 

Why is Love the greatest, because it is the realization and the reality of both faith and hope, because Yahweh is Love!

 

1 John 4:7-8 "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of Yahweh; and every one that loves is born of Yahweh, and knows Yahweh. He that loves not knows not Yahweh; for Yahweh is love."
