WHEREVER THE CARCASS IS THE EAGLES WILL BE GATHERED

The above quote is from Matthew 24:28 and Luke 17:37. Many different commentaries on this scripture are available, but our Creator appears to be talking about the end of this age and the seventh trumpet when he returns to gather his 144,000 saints.  

In fact, Matthew 24:31 says, “he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”Psalm 34:7: the angel encamps around them that fear him, and delivereth them. Hebrews 1:13-14 says of the angels that they are “ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation.” Revelation 1:20 notes that the angels are looking over the ecclesia (or assembly) members that are being perfected. 

Exodus 19:4 our Creator told Moses that “you have seen what I did unto the Egyptians and how I bare you on eagles’ wings and brought you onto myself.”  Isaiah 63:9 notes the angel of his presence saved them.  In Revelation 12:14, “the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times and half a time from the face of the serpent.” My interpretation is that the assembly or saints will be taken to a place of safety in the last three and half years of this age likely by angels. Unfortunately, some of the assembly members will be martyred as they have been in the past, as noted in Revelation 6:9.  Thus the word carcass in Luke 17:37 and Matthew 24:28 could be referring to the assembly or body, and the eagles could be referring to the angels looking over the assembly and providing a hedge at our Creator’s direction. 

Revelation 11:3 notes that the two witnesses shall prophesy 1,260 days, which is exactly 42 months, (30 day months) in which the moon is not seen, thus darkness prevails. This is exactly 3 and a half years of 30-day months and it will be a difficult time for anyone alive at this point in history. Luke 21:36 states that we should pray always to be worthy to escape all these terrible things coming upon the end of this age (of the approximately  6,000 year plan of our Creator). Revelation 3:10 notes that if we keep his word, we can be kept from the hour of temptation. This is likely the last 3 and half years of this age. (Refer to our website article on the ages posted 10/27/16, titled, For ever or age abiding.)

One day with Yahweh Shua is equivalent to 1,000 years on earth.  One hour with our Creator is equivalent to 41.66 years on earth, switching a year for a month. One hour with our Creator is 42 months on earth,that is the hour of testing likely occurring  the last 3 and half years of the 42 months of darkness on this planet. Of course, this is only possible to those who have not denied his name, Revelation 3:8.  Thus it is essential to know our Creator’s current name. 

We suggest praying to the father, Yahweh, in the name of his resurrected son, Yahweh Shua, for truth. If you desire to learn more, we suggest reading the other articles under News on our website,. If you have questions, feel free to contact us before taking the first step..

THE DIVINE NAME

Due to unfounded Jewish fears of bringing upon themselves a possible retribution for breaking the third commandment, they began refusing to pronounce the divine name.  It became normal practice to substitute a title, “Lord” (Adonai) for the name Yahweh when reading aloud.  To indicate this replacement, the Masorites inserted the vowels from Adonai under the countenance of Yahweh resulting in a word, Yehovah, which came to be pronounced as Jehovah.  Scholars of the Renaissance period misunderstood the purpose of vowel pointing and began pronouncing the name as Jehovah.  This erroneous pronunciation became so common that many are still generally unwilling to accept the more correct pronunciation, Yahweh.  The reference to this is Appendix E, page 726, of the Old Testament study Bible Psalms, which is part of the complete Biblical Library, Copyright 1996 Springfield, Missouri USA.

This practice of substituting titles for the actual name led to Yahweh being found in the bible less and less.  Initially the word Yahweh was in the Bible nearly 7000 times, and by the time our Creator was in the flesh or incarnate, it was in the Bible less than 2000 times.  In fact, no language had the letter J until the last 500 years.   Is the family and personal name of the Creator and his Father important? What does the Bible say about the name?

“Is any sick among you?  Let him call for the elders of the ecclesia and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil in the name of the Master,” (currently Yahweh Shua) James 5:14.  Our Creator says in John 16:23, “Verily, verily, I say unto you whatsoever you shall ask the Father in My name he will give you.”  Thus, we should pray to Yahweh the Father in the name of his Son, Yahweh Shua, for healing.

 This is just the tip of the iceberg.  Many other scriptures say that we are to give him glory, use his name, we are to dance to His name, lift our hands up to His name, we should bless His name, His name is our banner, we are to walk in His name, and we are to rejoice in His name.  His name alone is excellent, His name defends and helps us, His name endures forever, His name is great, His name is Yahweh.

The name Yahweh is the eternal name of the family and our Creator.  Luke 11:52 says “Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.” Our Creator’s father’s name is Yahweh, and the resurrected (inherited) name of the Messiah is Yahweh Shua. The name Yahweh is the key of knowledge and power.

If you find this interesting, pray to the Father Yahweh in the name of his resurrected Son, Yahweh Shua, for truth and read the scriptures regarding His name.

Three Concepts of Heaven and Hell

Many people are confused by the terms of heaven and hell, as used in the scriptures.  This article will attempt to aid your understanding.

       Three concepts for heaven include the first heaven, i.e., the sky or the clouds.  The second heaven is the stars and the universe, and the third heaven is the eternal seat of the Father and is unseen. Three concepts of hell include this life, which is the darkness below, the second is the grave or tomb, and the third hell is the lake of fire.

In Genesis 28:12, Jacob had a dream and saw a vision of a ladder going from the earth up into heaven, and angels ascending and descending.  In Deuteronomy 10:14, the heaven and the heaven of heavens are mentioned.  The Hebrew word, shammah, Hebrew 8064, can mean sky or can mean celestial bodies such as our universe. The heaven of heavens likely means the abode of the Father.  Heaven of the heavens is also mentioned in 1 Kings 8:27, and Ezekiel 1:4 that describes it as a throne coming from the far North.  In 2 Corinthians 12:2-4, Paul talks about being called up to paradise.  We know this is only a vision, as the book of John 3:13 notes that no one has been to heaven and returned to earth, except our Creator.  Also, since no one has seen the Father except the Son, (John 1:18, John 5:37, John 6:46) means that the vision of the third heaven or throne room by Ezekiel 1 and John, in Revelation 4 are visions of the throne room of our Creator.  Therefore, in Job 1, the adversary was dealing with our Creator, and take note that he had to get permission from our Creator to place evil thoughts into the Sabeans that slain the servants of Job in Job 1:15.  James 1:13 states: let no man say when he is tested, I am tested of Yahweh: for Yahweh cannot be tested with evil neither tempteth he any man.  Thus, the accuser, the adversary, is the one accusing the called out and gets permission to test us as he did accusing Job regarding his hedge, etc., Job 1:10-11.

Thus. the three concepts of heaven are the first heaven which would be the visible sky, clouds, thunder, and rain.  The second heaven would include the universe and visible stars, solar system, etc., and the third heaven would be the throne room of the Son, as we know the throne room of the Father has only been seen by the Son our Creator.

Like the concept of three heavens, there is also the concept of three hells.  The first hell being this life, the second hell being the grave and the third hell a burning fire.

John 8:12 notes that we should be the light of the world and this is repeated in Matthew 5:14-16. Proverbs 6:23 says that the commandments are a lamp, and the law is the light and reproofs of instruction are the way of life.  Luke 4:5-6 shows the adversary telling our Creator that all the kingdoms of the world are his and our Creator did not deny that this is Satan’s kingdom.  Thankfully, however, he must get permission to test people.

The second hell is the grave or tomb, Revelation 11:9.  In Mark 9:43, the word for hell is the Greek word, 1067, from a noun meaning “Gehennah.”  Gehennah was the garbage dump of Jerusalem to the south of the city that had a constant fire for trash, animals, and criminals, and was also a likely location for child sacrifices, 2 Kings 23:10 and Jeremiah 7:31-33.  

Thus, the second hell is physical death where our body returns to the dust of the earth and our mind, which is asleep, returns to the Father who gave it.  Thus, the second hell is the grave, Matthew 5:29-30.  Scriptures such as Mark 9:48 says the worm does not die and some translations say maggots never die.  However, we know that only two eternal beings are the Father and the Son.  Furthermore, Jonah was in the fish for just three days, however the scriptures say “forever” using the Hebrew word olam, 5769, (see the website article from 10/27/16 regarding the terms forever or age abiding). 

Therefore, being in the grave “forever” can be just three days or even less.  It is a period of time, but we have no thoughts and no feelings and we are essentially asleep until our Creator awakens us again.  

The third concept of hell is the lake of fire in which the beast and false messiah are sent to, Revelation 19:20, and then later the adversary or devil plus any demons that fail to repent, Revelation 20:10.  Again, the terms forever and ever are incorrect.  The actual word is aion, 1625, meaning a period of time, and likely a short period of time such as with Jonah who was in the belly “forever and ever” but in reality, only three days.  It is possible that the lake of fire will only be a few microseconds as it will instantly destroy any physical or spiritual body. Though the body is instantly destroyed, the spirit or mind, which is asleep goes back to the Father (see article on life and death).  Thus no one is lost forever.  

Our Creator has a great plan that he is carrying out, which the Father and the Son designed before anything was created. If you are called in this present life and are able to overcome the adversary, you will be resurrected at the seventh trumpet, as part of the 144,000 saints.  If you are not called in this life, you will have a second chance after the one thousand years to overcome the adversary when he is let out for a 100-year period, during the Last Great Day. This group of of saints will likely be the innumerable multitude. Finally, if you fail to repent or overcome, you will be reconciled and live outside the Kingdom forever, and in this case, it will be eternal.  The Father and Son have a great plan for everyone and no one will be lost.  

If you find this article interesting, pray to the Father in the name of his resurrected son, Yahweh Shua, and consider taking the first step, which is baptism.

What is the role of women in the scriptures?

Recently we received an email that was questioning the role of women in scripture, as indicated in a previous article.  This short article attempts to address this question.

Perhaps it may help the reader to review some examples of women of faith found in scripture.  

A number of women have played a major role in Messiah’s lineage:

·      Miriam (aka Mary), the mother of Yahshua

·      Ruth:  her son was the father of Jesse who became the father of David

·      Rachel who was greatly respected as like Leah “built the house of Israel,” Ruth 4:11

·      Leah – see above

Esther, who had boldly violated the king’s law by entering the inner court without being called. By her subsequent actions, she saved all the Jews in the king’s provinces.

Next is Rahab, “the harlot” (there is some question as to whether Rahab was actually a harlot.)  She is mentioned in Hebrews 11, which is often referred to as the faith chapter, as she demonstrated her faith by works in sending the messengers the wrong direction.  James 2:25 supports this.

Hannah, the wife of Elkanah, who had been barren for many years and in her grief prayed earnestly for a male son and further promising that if her request were granted, her son would be dedicated to Yahweh’s service and would serve Eli, the priest.  After her son, Samuel, was weaned, she took him to Eli to begin his service.

In Judges 5:24, the following is said of Jael:  ‘Blessed above women shall Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite be, blessed shall she be above women in the tent.”

1Samuel 25 speaks of Abigail, the wife of a very evil man named Nabal.  David spoke to Abigail saying, “blessed be thy advice and blessed be thou which has kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand.”  After Nabal’s death, David married Abigail.

A nameless woman who poured ointment on Yahshua’s head was spoken of by Yahshua in Matthew 26:13 and in Mark 14:9, saying, “Wheresoever this evangel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.”

In Luke 7:44-50, a woman who washed Yahshua’s feet with her tears is mentioned.

The “poor widow” who gave a large donation is praised in Mark 12:41-44.

Proverbs 31:10-31 describes the virtuous woman, “favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain:  but a woman that feareth Yahweh, she shall be praised.”

Some may inquire about Deborah who is called a prophetess as well as a judge.  E. W. Bullinger, the biblical scholar and author of The Companion Bible, in his footnotes to chapter 4 of Judges, states that Deborah was not a judge in the strictest sense of the title, and questions whether she had ever received a divine appointment.  

It seems to me that the women that are praised in scripture played a supportive role to their husbands, the ecclesia, or directly to Yahshua. That is not to say they were unimportant, but simply that their roles were different than that of men.  Yahshua makes a point of praising their actions.  Women in the body of Messiah are co-inheritors and are thus given due respect.  In the ecclesia, elders are always men, as are deacons in large assemblies.  As Yahshua submitted to the Father’s great plan, these men in leadership roles submit to Yahweh Shua.
