PREPARATION

What does the Bible say about the end times? Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 lay out our Creator’s own words.

Mat 24: v3. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? And what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?

V4. And Messiah answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

V5. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Messiah; and shall deceive many.

V6. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all [these things] must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

V7. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

V8. All these [are] the beginning of sorrows.

V9. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

V10. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

V11. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

V12. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

V13. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

V14. And this evangel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

V15. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand) [the name Yahweh Shua is not in the Bible, you will be hated for knowing the true name of our resurrected Creator]

V16. Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

V17. Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

V18. Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

V19. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

V20. But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

V21. For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

V22. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.

V23. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here [is] Messiah, or there; believe [it] not.

V24. For there shall arise false Messiah, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders (Rev 13: v13. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men), insomuch that, if [it were] possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

V25. Behold, I have told you before.

V26. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, [he is] in the secret chambers; believe [it] not (you won't have to go anywhere or turn on any device to see our Creator’s return because when he returns at the 7th Trump every eye we'll see him simultaneously around the world).

V27. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

V28. For wheresoever the carcase (body/assembly) is, there will the eagles (angels) be gathered together.

V29. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken (Rev 8: v12. And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten [famine for the word, the darkness below or this life seems even darker], and the third part of the moon [third of the Saints are likely martyred], and the third part of the stars [1/3 of the angels follow Adversary]; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise, Rev 6: v12. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth [YahwehShua mourning the loss of his Saints] of hair, and the moon became as blood [martyred Saints].

V30. And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

V31. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet (7th trumpet), and they shall gather together his elect (see article: Wherever the carcass is the eagles will be gathered) from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.

V32. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer [is] nigh:

V33. So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, [even] at the doors.

V35. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

V34. Verily I say unto you, This generation (The people alive during the end times will witness things rapidly progressing. For example, once the two witnesses start prophesizing in Jerusalem there will be only three and a half years to the 7th Trump and YahwehShua's return) shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.

V36. But of that day and hour knoweth no [man] not the angels of heaven, but my Father only (preparation not calculation).

V37. But as the days of Noe [were,] so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

V38. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,

V39. And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

V40. Then shall two be in the field; the one (Saint) shall be taken, and the other left.

V41. Two [women shall be] grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken (Saint), and the other left.

V42. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour YahwehShua doth come.

V43. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.

V44. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

V45. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Master hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?

V46. Blessed [is] that servant, whom his Master when he cometh shall find so doing.

V47. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.

V48. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My Master delayeth his coming;

V49. And shall begin to smite [his] fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;

V50. The Master of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for [him,] and in an hour that he is not aware of,

V51. And shall cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Mrk 13: v3. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives over against the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately,

V4. Tell us, when shall these things be? And what [shall be] the sign when all these things shall be fulfilled?

V5. And Messiah answering them began to say, Take heed lest any [man] deceive you:

V6. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Messiah;] and shall deceive many.

V7. And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for [such things] must needs be; but the end [shall not] [be] yet.

V8. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these [are] the beginnings of sorrows (seals).

V9. But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.

V10. And the evangel must first be published among all nations.

V11. But when they shall lead [you,] and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.

V12. Now the brother (physical family not spiritual family) shall betray the brother to death, and the Father, the son; and children shall rise up against [their] parents, and shall cause them to be put to death.

V13. And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name’s sake (YahwehShua): but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

The false messiah is beautiful.

V14. But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet (human false Messiah calling himself the son of Yahweh), standing where it ought not (rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem for 3 and 1/2 years at the same time the two witnesses are prophesizing and are being accused of being devils or sorcerers), (let him that readeth, understand,) [you won't find the name Yahweh Shua in the Bible] then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:

Two witnesses that are not beautiful, will be called devils (our Creator was not beautiful and accused of having a devil)

V15. And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter [therein,] to take any thing out of his house:

V16. And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment.

V17. But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

V18. And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter.

V19. For [in] those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which Yahweh created unto this time, neither shall be.

V20. And except that YahwehShua had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.

V21. And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here [is] Messiah; or, lo, [he is] there; believe [him] not:

V22. For false Messiahs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if [it were] possible, even the elect.

V23. But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things (for now: Jhn 16: v12. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now).

V24. But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light,

V25. And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken.

V26. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

V27. And then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven.

V34. [For the Son of man is] as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.

V35. Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:

V36. Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping (be alert and understand the sign of the times such as when the two witnesses start prophesizing. There will be exactly three and a half years until the 7th Trump when YahwehShua returns).

Luk 21: v8. And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am [Messiah;] [Rev 6: v2. And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he [false Messiah] went forth conquering, and to conquer] and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

V9. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions [Rev 6: v3.] And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. V4. And there went out another horse [that was] red: and [power] was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword}, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end [is] not by and by.

V10. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

V11. And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines [Rev 6: v5. And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. V6. And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and [see] thou hurt not the oil and the wine}, and pestilences [Rev 6: v7. And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. V8. And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth] and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

V12. But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute [you,] delivering [you] up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.

V13. And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

V14. Settle [it] therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

V15. For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

V16. And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and [some] of you shall they cause to be put to death [Rev 6: v9.] And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of YahwehShua, and for the testimony which they held].

V17. And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name’s sake.

V18. But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

V19. In your patience possess ye your souls.

V20. And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh [likely Armageddon].

V21. Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

V22. For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

V23. But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! For there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

V24. And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

V25. And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity [Rev 6: v12. And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood] the sea and the waves roaring;

V26. Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

V27. And then (after the 7 seals and 6 Trumps at the 7th Trumpet) shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.   

V28. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

V36. Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

Preparation not calculation! Know the signs of the times! Everyone will be saying the Messiah has returned (actually false Messiah) and that there are two devils/sorcerers prophesizing in Jerusalem (actually 2 Witnesses) causing the curses!

HalleluYahwehShua !

ALL SIN?

All sins of everyone? Isaiah seems to say so:

Isa 53: v6. All we like sheep have gone astray (all have sinned); we have turned every one to his own way; and Yahweh the Father hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Jeremiah also:

Jer 33: v8. And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity (sin), whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned, and whereby they have transgressed against me.

V9. And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and an honour before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.

V10. Thus saith Yahweh; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say [shall be] desolate without man and without beast, [even] in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,

V11. The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say, Praise Yahweh of hosts: for Yahweh [is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever: [and] of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of Yahweh. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith Yahweh.

V12. Thus saith Yahweh of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, shall be an habitation of shepherds causing [their] flocks to lie down.

V13. In the cities of the mountains, in the cities of the vale (valley), and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that telleth [them,] saith Yahweh.

V14. Behold, the days come, saith Yahweh, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised unto the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.

V15. In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

V16. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this [is the name] wherewith he shall be called, Yahweh Our Righteousness  (YahwehZidkenu during the Millennium)

Ezekiel too:

Ezk 37: v1. The hand of Yahweh was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of Yahweh, and set me down in the midst of the valley which [was] full of bones,

V2. And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, [there were] very many in the open valley; and, lo, [they were] very dry

V3. And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Yahweh, thou knowest.

V4. Again he said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of Yahweh.

V5. Thus saith Yahweh unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live:

V6. And I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I [am] Yahweh.

V7. So I prophesied as I was commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone.

V8. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but [there was] no breath in them.

V9. Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, son of man, and say to the wind, Thus saith Yahweh; Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.

V10. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.

V11. Then he said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, Our bones are dried (physical death), and our hope is lost (because all sin separates you from Yahweh):

Isa 59: v1. Behold, Yahweh’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save (all); neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear: V2. But your iniquities have separated between you and Yahweh, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear) we are cut off for our parts.

V12. Therefore prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith Yahweh; Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

V13. And ye shall know that I [am] Yahweh, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves (physical life extended into the Millennium),

V14. And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I Yahweh have spoken [it,] and performed [it,] saith Yahweh.

Paul too:

Heb 9: v25. Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;

V26. For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away (all) sin by the sacrifice of himself.

Rom 5: v10. For if, when we were enemies (no repentance required=free), we were reconciled to Yahweh the Father by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life (salvation or entrance in the kingdom is not free).

Col 1: v20. And, having made peace through the blood of his stake, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say,] whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven (All creation including the fallen angels get the free gift of life since he took all their sins or curses upon himself).

Gal 3: v13. YahwehShua Messiah hath redeemed us (all) from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:

John the Baptist:

Jhn 1: v29. The next day John seeth Messiah coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of Yahweh the Father, which taketh away (all) the sin of the world.

Where did the blood of the sin offerings of the Old Covenant sacrifices go?

Lev 4: v25. And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out his blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering.

V34. And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and shall pour out all the blood thereof at the bottom of the altar:

The blood of the sin offering was poured out on the ground likewise Messiah's blood was poured out.

Jhn 19: v34. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

So all the sin past, present, and future ends up in the dirt or the earth. Who cleans that up?

Zec 3: v9. For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone [shall be] seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith Yahweh of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

Our Creator was a soldier for Father Yahweh and was paid a wage for taking all sins. What was that wage?

Rom 6: v23. For the wages of sin [is] death; but the gift of Yahweh the Father [is] eternal life through YahwehShua Messiah.

The Father also refined the sinless Messiah by the things he suffered and also gave him a new spiritual body with the new inherited name.

Heb 5: v8. Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

V9. And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Zec 3: v2. And Yahweh said unto Satan, Yahweh rebuke thee, O Satan; even Yahweh that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: [is] not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

V3. Now Yahshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.   

V4. And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

V5. And I said, Let them set a fair mitre (HOLINESS TO YAHWEH) upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Yahweh stood by.   

Heb 1: v4. Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.

Psa 148: v13. Let them praise the name of Yahweh: for his name alone is excellent; his glory [is] above the earth and heaven.

Psa 8: v9. O Yahweh, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth!

Psa 8: v1. O Yahweh, how excellent [is] thy name in all the earth! Who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

 When our Creator finishes the Father's plan, all creation will be saved and have eternal life!

 YahwehSavior is YahwehShua!

HalleluYahwehShua

NAZARITE VOW

A brother by the Holy Spirit today stimulated our fellowship and had many interesting things I'd never studied in detail, such as the Nazarite vow and Nazarene. I needed to learn more so what does the Bible say?

Num 6: v1. And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,

V2. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall separate [themselves] to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate [themselves] unto Yahweh.

V3. He shall separate [himself] from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.

V4. All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk .

V5. All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth [himself] unto Yahweh, he shall be holy, [and] shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow.

V6. All the days that he separateth [himself] unto Yahweh he shall come at no dead body.

V7. He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because the consecration (H5145 Nezer Nazariteship) of Yahweh [is] upon his head

V8. All the days of his separation he [is] holy unto Yahweh .

V9. And if any man die very suddenly by him, and he hath defiled the head of his consecration; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.

V10. And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

V11. And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make an atonement for him, for that he sinned by the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.

V12. And he shall consecrate unto Yahweh the days of his separation, and shall bring a lamb of the first year for a trespass offering: but the days that were before shall be lost, because his separation was defiled.

V13. And this [is] the law of the Nazarite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

V14. And he shall offer his offering unto Yahweh, one he lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish for peace offerings,

V15. And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and wafers of unleavened bread anointed with oil, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings.

V16. And the priest shall bring [them] before Yahweh, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering:

V17. And he shall offer the ram [for] a sacrifice of peace offerings unto Yahweh, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also his meat offering, and his drink offering.

V18. And the Nazarite shall shave the head of his separation [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put [it] in the fire which [is] under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.

V19. And the priest shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put [them] upon the hands of the Nazarite, after [the hair of] his separation is shaven:

V20. And the priest shall wave them [for] a wave offering before Yahweh: this [is] holy for the priest, with the wave breast and heave shoulder: and after that the Nazarite may drink wine.

V21. This [is] the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed, [and of] his offering unto Yahweh for his separation, beside [that] that his hand shall get: according to the vow which he vowed, so he must do after the law of his separation.

So no old or new wine, no haircut, no touching dead bodies, no fresh or even dried grapes. Our brother also mentioned the parents of Samson.

Jdg 13: v3. And the angel of Yahweh appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou [art] barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.

V4. Now therefore beware, I pray thee, and drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean [thing:]

V5. For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and no razor shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto Yahweh from the womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.

V6. Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, A man of Yahweh came unto me, and his countenance [was] like the countenance of an angel of Yahweh, very terrible (revere, awesome, fearful): but I asked him not whence he [was,] neither told he me his name:

V7. But he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son; and now drink no wine nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean [thing:] for the child shall be a Nazarite to Yahweh from the womb to the day of his death.

V8. Then Manoah intreated Yahweh, and said, O my Yahweh, let the man of Yahweh which thou didst send come again unto us, and teach us what we shall do unto the child that shall be born.

V9. And Yahweh hearkened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of Yahweh (likely Gabriel or Michael) came again unto the woman as she sat in the field: but Manoah her husband [was] not with her.

V10. And the woman made haste, and ran, and shewed her husband, and said unto him, Behold, the man hath appeared unto me, that came unto me the [other] day.

V11. And Manoah arose, and went after his wife, and came to the man, and said unto him, [Art] thou the man that spakest unto the woman? And he said, I [am.]

V12. And Manoah said, Now let thy words come to pass. How shall we order the child, and [how] shall we do unto him?

V13. And the angel of Yahweh said unto Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman let her beware.

V14. She may not eat of any [thing] that cometh of the vine, neither let her drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean [thing:] all that I commanded her let her observe.

V15. And Manoah said unto the angel of Yahweh, I pray thee, let us detain thee, until we shall have made ready a kid for thee.

V16. And the angel of Yahweh said unto Manoah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread: and if thou wilt offer a burnt offering, thou must offer it unto Yahweh (not an angel). For Manoah knew not that he [was] an angel of Yahweh.

V17. And Manoah said unto the angel of Yahweh, What [is] thy name, that when thy sayings come to pass we may do thee honour?

V18. And the angel of Yahweh said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it [is] secret (probably Gabriel or Michael but perhaps our Creator didn’t want the Adversary to know who his replacements were in order to protect them at that time)

V19. So Manoah took a kid with a meat offering, and offered [it] upon a rock unto Yahweh: and [the angel] did wondrously; and Manoah and his wife looked on.

V20. For it came to pass, when the flame went up toward heaven from off the altar, that the angel of Yahweh ascended in the flame of the altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on [it,] and fell on their faces to the ground.

V21. But the angel of Yahweh did no more appear to Manoah and to his wife. Then Manoah knew that he [was] an angel of Yahweh.

V22. And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen Yahweh.

V23. But his wife said unto him, If Yahweh were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these [things,] nor would as at this time have told us [such things] as these.

V24. And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and Yahweh blessed him.   

Then came Delilah into Samson's life!

Jdg 16: v17. That he told her all his heart, and said unto her, There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I [have been] a Nazarite unto Yahweh from my mother’s womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any [other] man.

V18. And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and called for the lords of the Philistines, saying, Come up this once, for he hath shewed me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and brought money in their hand.

V19. And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.

V20. And she said, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And he awoke out of his sleep, and said, I will go out as at other times before, and shake myself. And he wist not (didn’t know) that Yahweh was departed from him.

V21. But the Philistines took him, and put out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with fetters of brass; and he did grind in the prison house.

V22. Howbeit the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven.

V23. Then the lords of the Philistines gathered them together for to offer a great sacrifice unto Dagon their so-called god, and to rejoice: for they said, Our god hath delivered Samson our enemy into our hand.

V24. And when the people saw him, they praised their god: for they said, Our god hath delivered into our hands our enemy, and the destroyer of our country, which slew many of us.

V25. And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry, that they said, Call for Samson, that he may make us sport. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars

V26. And Samson said unto the lad that held him by the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standeth, that I may lean upon them.

V27. Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines [were] there; and [there were] upon the roof about three thousand men and women, that beheld while Samson made sport.

V28. And Samson called unto Yahweh, and said, O Yahweh, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O Yahweh, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.

V29. And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.  

V30. And Samson said, Let me die with the Philistines. And he bowed himself with [all his] might; and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that [were] therein. So the dead which he slew at his death were more than [they] which he slew in his life.

John the Baptist was likely a Nazarite.

Luk 1: v7. And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were [now] well stricken in years.

V8. And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest’s office before Yahweh in the order of his course,

V9. According to the custom of the priest’s office, his lot was to burn incense when he went into the temple of Yahweh.

V10. And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the time of incense.

V11. And there appeared unto him an angel of Yahweh standing on the right side of the altar of incense.

V12. And when Zacharias saw [him,] he was troubled, and fear fell upon him.

V13. But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John.

V14. And thou shalt have joy and gladness; and many shall rejoice at his birth.

V15. For he shall be great in the sight of Yahweh, and shall drink neither wine (new wine/grape juice) nor strong drink (fermented wine/old wine); and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb (sounds like a Nazarite vow).

V16. And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to Yahweh.

Luk 7: v33. For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil (Nazarite vow).

Messiah was from Nazareth therefore he was a Nazarene but he likely did not take the Nazarite vow.   

Mat 2: v23. And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets (see below), He shall be called a Nazarene.

Isa 11: v1. And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch (Our brother also revealed that the word branch can mean Nazarene or from Nazareth as well as watchmen) shall grow out of his roots:

Jer 33: v15. In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch (Nazarene from Nazareth) of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.

Luk 7: v34. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber (thus no Nazarite vow), a friend of publicans and sinner.

Messiah may have started a Nazarite vow at the Last Supper.

Mrk 14: v24. And he said unto them, This is my blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for many.

V25. Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine (new wine = unfermented grape juice; possible nod to original sin Adam/Eve) until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of Yahweh.

 Paul was accused of being at ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes.  

Act 24: v5. For we have found this man (Paul) [a] pestilent [fellow,] and a mover of sedition among all the Jews throughout the world, and a ringleader of the sect of the Nazarenes (Messiah was born in Bethlehem but grew up in Nazareth):

Samuel was like Samson a warrior Nazarite able to touch a dead body.

1Sa 1: v11. And she vowed a vow, and said, O Yahweh of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then I will give him unto Yahweh all the days of his life, and there shall no razor come upon his head (Samuel).

1Sa 15: v33. And Samuel said, As thy sword hath made women childless, so shall thy mother be childless among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before Yahweh in Gilgal.

My brother schooled me today. He is a great addition to our fellowship. Iron sharpens iron, but his iron has a diamond edge! HalleluYahwehShua!

BAPTISM

What did Paul say about baptism on the second day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when Moses and the Israelites crossed the Red Sea?

1Co 10: v1. Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

V2. And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

V3. And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

V4. And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Messiah (Our Creator was Yahweh of the Old Covenant).

What did Messiah require of Abraham in the Old Covenant?

Gen 17: v9. And Yahweh said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep my covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations.

V10. This [is] my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised.

V11. And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you.

V12. And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which [is] not of thy seed

I'm glad I was circumcised at 8 days old. I'm sure it was extremely painful for Abraham. Medically speaking, circumcision is a healthier option for a man and is a blessing from Yahweh.

But what about the New Covenant? What does Messiah through Paul say is the new circumcision?

Col 2: v11. In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of YahwehShua (Paul met Messiah on the road to Damascus when Messiah was in his resurrected spiritual body):

V12. Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him] through the faith of the operation of Yahweh the Father, who hath raised him from the dead.

V13. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses (all sins);

V14. Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances (sacrificial law is placed on pause until the millennium, but not the Royal Law or Ten Commandments which are now magnified in the New Covenant) that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his stake (not cross);

So with the baptism all your sins are forgiven, says Paul. Our Creator was baptized by John. Did he sin? Yahweh forbid! So why did he get baptized? Matthew gives a clue.

Mat 3: v16. And Messiah, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Holy Spirit of the Father descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:

V17. And lo a voice from heaven (an angel speaking for the Father since no one has ever heard or seen the Father except the Son), saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

So Messiah received the seed of the Holy Spirit of the Father Yahweh and was begotten. He was perfected by the things he had to overcome and the suffering he endures. He was born again as YahwehShua when he received his inherited name and spiritual body at the resurrection.

Heb 5: v5. So also Messiah glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

V8. Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

V9. And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Jhn 20: v17. YahwehShua saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and [to] my Father Yahweh, and your Father Yahweh.

Messiah does things in patterns, so what's the pattern for our baptism? Do we get a seed of Holy Spirit? Do we have to overcome? Like Messiah who received the seed of his Father's Holy Spirit when we're baptized, we receive the seed of Messiah's Holy Spirit.

Gal 4: v6. And because ye are sons, Yahweh the Father hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Rev 3: v19. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

Rev 2: v11. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the assemblies; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

Gal 4: v19. My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until YahwehShua be formed in you.

Well that's great now that you're baptized, you don't need to do anything else, right? Sorry, not sorry. You are just getting in the race and you're just getting started.

1Co 9: v24. Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.

V26. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:

V27. But I keep under my body, and bring [it] into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Php 3: v13. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but [this] one thing [I do,] forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

V14. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of Yahweh the Father in YahwehShua.

What's the prize or the reward? Moses knew about the reward.

 Heb 11: v24. By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter;

V25. Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of Yahweh, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season;

V26. Esteeming the reproach of Messiah greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence (payment) of the reward (becoming a Saint with a spiritual body as part of the 144,000 at the 7th Trump).

John spoke of it in Revelation.   

Rev 11: v18. And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the Prophets, and to the Saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

Rev 22: v11. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still (not much time to change!): and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.

V12. And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward [is] with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

V13. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

V14. Blessed [are] they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Messiah was baptized when he was 30 years old.

Luk 3: v21. Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that Messiah also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,

V22. And the Holy Spirit descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son (an angel speaking for the Father since no one has seen or heard the Father except Messiah); in thee I am well pleased.

V23. And Messiah himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was [the son] of Heli.

Why did Messiah wait so long to get baptized? Luke gives a clue.

Luk 14: v28. For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have [sufficient] to finish [it?]

V29. Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish [it,] all that behold [it] begin to mock him,

V30. Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.

V31. Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?

V32. Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.

V33. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath (forsake the ways of the world, have no idols before our Creator, even a heathen takes care of their family) he cannot be my disciple.

V34. Salt [is] good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned? (Mat 5: v13. Ye are the salt of the earth, Mrk 9: v50. Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another, Mrk 9: v49. For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt).,

So why do you have to count the cost? Why can't we just go right ahead?

Luk 9: v62. And Messiah said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of Yahweh

There is no turning back once you're baptized in the right name and have hands laid on you by an elder, you have a big target on your back. The adversary will let the fiery arrows fly. A brother mentioned the following scriptures recently.

Eph 6: v11. Put on the whole armour of YahwehShua, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

V12. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places.]

V16. Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

You thought your life was tough and difficult before baptism. Let the tribulation begin.

Act 14: v22. Confirming the souls of the disciples, [and] exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of Yahweh.

What about someone who's younger than 30 years of age who wants to be baptized? What does the Bible say?

1Ch 23: v24. These [were] the sons of Levi after the house of their fathers; [even] the chief of the fathers, as they were counted by number of names by their polls, that did the work for the service of the house of Yahweh, from the age of twenty years and upward.

The Earth was baptized with water (Noah/flood) and will be baptized with fire (7 seals/trumps/vials) leading up to Armageddon and also again leading up to Gog/Magog. Likewise we ought to be baptized with water and then fire.

Mat 3: v10. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

V11. I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit, and [with] fire:

Baptism is done by immersion in water.

 V39. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of Yahweh caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.

Mrk 1: v10. And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him:

In summary, count the cost, read all the articles on this website, pray to Yahweh the Father in the name of his resurrected Son YahwehShua and consider taking the first step.

HalleluYahwehShua!

SERPENT OF BRASS?

What is this serpent of brass that Yahweh told Moses to make?

Num 21: v5. And the people spake against Yahweh, and against Moses, wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For [there is] no bread, neither [is there any] water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.

V6. And Yahweh sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

V7. Therefore, the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against Yahweh, and against thee; pray unto Yahweh, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

V8. And Yahweh said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole  (notice our Creator said put it up on a pole, not a cross, poles are vertical unlike a cross): and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

V9. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole (vertical beam not a horizontal beam, not a cross), and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

The chief Angel Lucifer fell away (Father and Son foresaw this, it was part of the Father's plan and took a third of the angels with him and now is Satan ). He received permission to test Eve in the garden of the field which Yahweh had made. Gen 3: v1. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath Yahweh said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden.

V2. And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

V3. But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, Yahweh hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

V5. For Yahweh doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

V4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die (yet):

V6. And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

V7. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they [were] naked (ashamed/sin); and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

What is this tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

Gen 2: v16. And Yahweh commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat.

V17. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day (within a thousand years) that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

V24. Therefore, shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh (one body like Messiah and assembly are one body/one purpose).

V25. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed (without sin).

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is none other than the fallen angel Satan. He was once the sum total of perfection and knew good until sin (evil) was found in him.

Ezk 28: V3. Behold, thou [art] wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:

V6. Therefore, thus saith Yahweh; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of Yahweh;

V9. Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I [am] Yahweh? But thou [shalt be] a man (created being like man), and no Yahweh, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.

V12. Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus (symbolic of Satan, Tyrus is controlled by Satan), and say unto him, Thus saith Yahweh; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty (Lucifer the archangel or Chief Angel was beautiful, unlike our Creator and the two witnesses, Lucifer now replaced by Michael and Gabriel).

V13. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of Yahweh (was with Yahweh in the garden probably when he created the garden of Eden before Adam was even created); every precious stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

V14. Thou [art] the anointed cherub (Head Angel) that covereth; and I have set thee [so:] thou wast upon the holy mountain of Yahweh; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

V15. Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee (part of the Father's plan).

V16. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of Yahweh: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

V17. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

V18. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee (Our Creator likely takes the hedge down about Satan and the fallen Angels and a lake of fire consumes their spiritual bodies; see article Wrath of YahwehShua), it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

Isaiah and John in Revelation confirm the fall of Lucifer and the fact that he took a third of the angels with him (spiritual bodies must be a lot stronger than flesh bodies because he could only deceive a third of the angels, however, he deceives all in this world the darkness below).

Isa 14: v12. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations

V13. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Yahweh: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

V14. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

V15. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Rev 12: v3. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon (Satan), having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

V4. And his tail drew the third part of the stars (angels) of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

V5. And she brought forth a man child (Messiah), who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto Yahweh the Father (after his resurrection he ascended up to the Father as YahwehShua, the perfect wave sheaf offering), and [to] his throne.

V6. And the woman (much of the assembly will be taken to a place of safety in the last 3 and 1/2 years leading up to the 7th Trump) fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared by YahwehShua, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days (3 and 1/2 years of 30-day months leading up to the return of YahwehShua at the 7th trumpet).

Full circle back to the serpent of brass and what it could mean spiritually? Messiah gives us the clue:

Jhn 3: v14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man (Messiah) be lifted up (on a vertical pole not a cross or horizontal beam):

V15. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life (in the kingdom eternally, the rest of creation outside the kingdom with eternal life).

The people with Moses were cured when they looked upon this serpent of brass. But the serpent represents the devil or sin being lifted up on a beam! Messiah was lifted up on a beam into a tree, is he a devil? Yahweh forbid! What do the scriptures say?

Gal 3: v13. Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:

Jhn 1: v29. The next day John seeth Messiah coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of Father Yahweh, which taketh away the sin of the world (all sin /past /present/ future).

Our Creator is the only person to die in sin and the only sin sponge which has wiped away all sin (past, present, and future) to give life to all including all the fallen angels and all humans who fail to overcome. Like the serpent lifted up in the wilderness, our Creator was lifted up on a vertical beam or pole into a tree. That single greatest act of love of all time destroys death for all creation in the seen and unseen world.

Heb 2: v14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

HalleluYahwehShua!
