KEY OF DAVID

Does the KEY OF DAVID have anything to do with the name, the oil, or the door?

Is olive oil the name?

Sng 1: v2. Let him (The Bridegroom YahwehShua) kiss me (Bride, 144k Saints) with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love [is] better than wine

V3. Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name [is as] ointment (olive oil) poured forth, therefore do the virgins (Bride/144k Saints) love thee.

James seems to say so:

Jas 5: v14. Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the assembly; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the YahwehShua Messiah:

The ten virgins all started out with oil in their lamps (Yahweh), but the five wise virgins had additional oil (YahwehShua).

Mat 25: v3. They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

V4. But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

V5. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

V6. And at mid night there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

V7. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

V8. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

V9. But the wise answered, saying, [Not so;] lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

V10. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

V11. Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Master, Master, open to us.

V12. But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

Olive oil is physical, however, the name YahwehShua is spiritual and greater than the physical.

Ecc 7: v1. A good name (YahwehShua) [is] better than precious ointment (olive oil); and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.  

Messiah’s physical human name was Yah'shua (6 hebrew letters YHWSWA/6 is the number of man/6000 years of Satan’s kingdom until Millennial Sabbath). His resurrected spiritual name is YahwehShua  (7 Hebrew letters YHWHSWA/7 is the number of perfection). The small flocks or assemblies being perfected now by the perfectionist know the name of the perfectionist.

Rev 1: v4. John to the seven churches (assemblies being perfected) which are in Asia: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from him which is (YahwehShua), and which was (Yahweh/Melchizedek/ Yahshua), and which is to come (YahwehZidkenu); and from the seven Spirits (perfect spirit = Holy Spirit) which are before his throne;

V5. And from YahwehShua, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

V6. And hath made us kings and priests unto YahwehShua and his Father (Yahweh); to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

V7. Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.

Keys unlock doors. The assemblies being perfected have the key.

Rev 3: v6. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches (assemblies being perfected).

V7. And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;

V8. I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name (YahwehShua).

What is this key of David?

Isa 22: v22. And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

What door does the key go to?

Jhn 10: v1. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.   

V2. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

V3. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

V4. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

V5. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

V6. This parable spake Messiah unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

V7. Then said Yah'shua unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

V8. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

V9. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

V10. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.

V11. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

V12. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

V13. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

V14. I am the good shepherd, and know my [sheep,] and am known of mine.

V15. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

V16. And other sheep I have (Old Covenant Saints), which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold (144k Saints), [and] one shepherd (YahwehShua).   

The key that unlocks the physical door of the Messiah is adding the Hebrew letter hey to his physical name (six letters) giving us his current spiritual name, YahwehShua (7 letters) [brother Albert Smith speaking by the Holy Spirit to brother George Gabler. and brother Bob Bondurant.} 

Beloved Brother Albert Smith at the direction of the Holy Spirit came up with above pearl.

Albert’s Favorite Mitre!

Luk 7: v30. But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of Yahweh against themselves, being not baptized of him.

Luk 11: v52. 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.

Without the right key you will not enter in. If you find this most important key don't lose it!

HalleluYahwehShua!

WHAT'S IN YOUR ARSENAL?

My sister sent me some good information regarding different translations of the Bible, especially Rotherham's Emphasized Bible.

This Bible was used extensively by Elder Bob Bondurant in many of the articles on this website. For example, most Bibles including the King James Bible changed the gender of the word pneuma or Holy Spirit.

Jhn 14: v16. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

V17. [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Rotherham's Bible has it right The Holy Spirit or pneuma is gender neutral. Instead of calling the Holy Spirit a him, it should be an it. This is confirmed in the Companion Bible’s appendices where the Holy Spirit is described as the invisible presence of the Father through the Son to the seen and unseen world! See article on this website regarding pneuma.

Rotherham's also has Revelation chapter 14 verse 1 correct. The King James renders the following:

Rev 14: v1. And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty [and] four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.

Rotherham's mentions the name of the Father and Son. YahwehShua contains the name of Father Yahweh and his resurrected son YahwehShua.

Rotherham's also has Isaiah 42:8 correct. The King James renders the following:

Isa 42: v8. [I am] the LORD: that [is] my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.

Rotherham's translation is correct: I am Yahweh that is my name. Our Creator was the Yahweh of the Old Covenant Melchizedek and has been carrying out the plan of the Father from beginning to the end when he hands the kingdom over to the Father and the new heavens and new earth (Heaven comes to earth).

No Bible translation is completely accurate! The word of Yahweh is sharp as a two edge sword!

Heb 4: v12. For the word of Yahweh [is] quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and [is] a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Other weapons you may need in your arsenal.

I like the King James keyed to a Strong's Concordance as an app on the phone.

Pray to Father Yahweh in the name of his resurrected Son YahwehShua for wisdom and truth. Read all the articles on this website and then consider the most important step which is getting baptized in the name of YahwehShua and having hands laid on you to receive the down payment of the Holy Spirit of Messiah. This is the key that will unlock the mysteries or sacred secrets (Rotherham’s again). Then you must overcome the adversary which allows the growth of Messiah in you. Get ready for spiritual warfare!

Try to let the Bible interpret the Bible. The Bible can't contradict itself as a sister once said, the scriptures must “harmonize”

We are a small flock as we are all struggling to overcome physical and spiritual obstacles. We are at war. We can help you fight that war with the help of YahwehShua Messiah!

Luk 12: v32. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

As Eddie A. once said, “you have to have an arsenal since no single translation is correct”

What's in your arsenal?

WAVE SHEAF

When Joshua (true name was Yahshua; there was no J in the Hebrew language at that time) brought the Israelites into the promised land, he was instructed by our Creator to circumcise those who needed circumcision for the first day of unleavened bread which was the 15th (when the Israelites killed the lambs on the daylight portion of the 14th, painted their doors and went inside at the end of the 14th and beginning of the 15th. They ate the roasted lamb and were instructed not to leave until morning. They left Egypt at the end of the 15th

{Num 33: v3. And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover [day after the preparation day or the day the lamb was slaughtered] the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians}.

 Jos 5: v2. At that time Yahweh said unto Joshua [Yahshua], Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the children of Israel the second time.

V3. And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins

V4. And this [is] the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, [that were] males, [even] all the men of war, died in the wilderness by the way, after they came out of Egypt.

V5. Now all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people [that were] born in the wilderness by the way as they came forth out of Egypt, [them] they had not circumcised.

V6. For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people [that were] men of war, which came out of Egypt, were consumed, because they obeyed not the voice of Yahweh: unto whom Yahweh sware that he would not shew them the land, which Yahweh sware unto their fathers that he would give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey.

V7. And their children, [whom] he raised up in their stead, them Joshua circumcised: for they were uncircumcised, because they had not circumcised them by the way.

V8. And it came to pass, when they had done circumcising all the people, that they abode in their places in the camp, till they were whole (New Covenant circumcision is baptism in the singular name of the Father and Son {YahwehShua contains the name of the Father Yahweh and the resurrected Son YahwehShua} 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 Messiah: V12. Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with [him (YahwehShua)] through the faith of the operation of Yahweh the Father, who hath raised him from the dead).

 V9. And Yahweh (Son) said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you (15th the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread). Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal (rolled) unto this day

V10. And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even (start of the 15th) in the plains of Jericho.

V11. And they did eat of the [old] corn of the land on the morrow after the passover (morrow after the Passover is equivalent to the day after the preparation day or the day after the 14th which is the 15th, the first day of Unleavened Bread), unleavened cakes, and parched (roasted) [corn] (barley) the selfsame day (Lev 23: v14. And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto Yahweh : [it shall be] a statute for ever (period of time in Old Covenant throughout your generations in all your dwellings).

The above is a depiction of gathering manna

V12. And the manna ceased on the morrow after they had eaten of the [old] [corn] (barley) of the land; neither had the children of Israel manna any more; but they did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

The Passover or preparation day or the daylight portion of the 14th can fall on any day of the week. In this particular scenario, the preparation day fell out on the weekly Sabbath. The phrase morrow after the preparation day always refers to the Feast of Unleavened bread day one. In this case the Feast of Unleavened Bread occurred on a Sunday, the same day as the Wave Sheaf (the start of the count to Pentecost).

The word [old] grain was added to Joshua. It was the first year in the Promised Land they would have not had any stored grain from the previous year. Our Creator knew this and planned for the first day of the Feast of Unleavened bread to also be the Wave Sheaf so they could immediately enjoy the new barley harvest. The Wave Sheaf always follows the weekly Sabbath and must be within the Feast of Unleavened Bread day 1 through 7. In some years, it can be the last day of the Feast of Unleavened bread in which case Israelites would have to eat old grain from the previous year's harvest until the omer (sheaf) was waved.

The true Wave Sheaf (YahwehShua) is like his Father! He has perfect timing!

HalleluYahwehShua!

WAVE SHEAF/LOAVES

The Old Covenant mentions two grain offerings.

Lev 23: v9. And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,

V10. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf (omer/handful) of the firstfruits (best part/chief) of your harvest (barley) unto the priest

V11. And he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you: on the morrow (next day) after the Sabbath (weekly) the priest shall wave it (1st day of week Sunday).

V12. And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf (future resurrected YahwehShua) a he lamb (future defilement of Messiah and his human name) without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto Yahweh.

V13. And the meat (grain) offering thereof [shall be] two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto Yahweh [for] a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof [shall be] of wine (future defilement of Messiah’s blood), the fourth [part] of an hin.

V14. And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto Yahweh: [it shall be] a statute for ever (a period of time in Old Covenant) throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

V15. And ye shall (start) count unto you from the morrow (next day) after the (weekly) Sabbath, from the day (within the days of Unleavened Bread) that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven (weekly) Sabbaths shall be complete:

V16. Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days (stop count); and ye shall offer a new meat (grain) offering unto Yahweh.

V17. Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves (future 2 Witnesses) of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour (best of the wheat harvest/144k Saints); they shall be baken with leaven (like bread of the Last Supper); [they are] the firstfruits (best of the 144 thousand Saints) unto Yahweh.

 V20. And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits [for] a wave offering before Yahweh, with the two lambs (they are both killed like Messiah): they shall be holy to Yahweh for the priest.

V21. And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day (Pentecost when the Ten Commandments were given at Mount Sinai and when the 12 apostles received the Holy Spirit at the start of the New Covenant), [that] it may be an holy convocation (set apart Holy Assembly and one of the annual Sabbaths) unto you: ye shall do no servile work (usual occupation or toil) [therein: it shall be] a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

V22. And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I [am] Yahweh your Creator.

When our Creator finished his 3 & 1/2 year ministry he was killed Wednesday at 3 pm during the daylight portion of the 14th of Abib (The same time the Passover lambs were being slaughtered on the preparation day, then just prior to sunset was laid in the tomb just prior to 15th (annual Sabbath Feast of Unleavened Bread day one). He was resurrected (72 hours later) just prior to sunset on Saturday night the end of the weekly Sabbath. He ascended to the Father as the Perfect Wave Sheaf (YahwehShua) on Sunday approximately 3 &  1/2 days after his death.

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 (1st day of the week) unto my Father, and your Father; and [to] my Father Yahweh, and your Father Yahweh.   

The two witnesses, who likely are Elijah and Moses that have their physical life extended, will testify against the world for 3 and 1/2 years to complete Messiah's ministry.

They will be killed by the false Messiah at the direction of the adversary and will lay physically dead three and a half days, and then they will be resurrected into spiritual bodies and ascend to YahwehShua at the Seventh Trump (Feast of Shouting) as part of the 144 thousand Saints.

 Everyone who is not a part of 144,000 will have their physical life extended into the millennium (Feast of Tabernacles) and get to know our Creator perfectly. All will get their chance to be in the family as part of the innumerable multitude when the adversary is let out the first hundred years of the Last Great Day. Overcoming the adversary is what allows the growth of Messiah in you which is hard work and is an integral part of salvation or a chance to be in the family.

Those who fail will nevertheless get the free gift of life or reconciliation (not salvation) and live outside the family eternally.

HalleluYahwehShua!

HEAD COVERINGS

Since Adam and Eve were naked before Yahweh, Eve’s only covering could be her hair.

Gen 2: v23. And Adam said, This [is] now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man

V25. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.   

Rebekah used a vail to conceal herself before Isaac. This had nothing to do with worship.

Gen 24: v64. And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.

V65. For she [had] said unto the servant, What man [is] this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant [had] said, It [is] my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered herself. 

Tamar used a vail to conceal herself from Judah.

Gen 38: v15. When Judah saw her, he thought her [to be] an harlot; because she had covered her face.

V25. When she [was] brought forth, she sent to her father in law, saying, By the man, whose these [are, am] I with child: and she said, Discern, I pray thee, whose [are] these, the signet, a mind bracelets, and staff.

V26. And Judah acknowledged [them,] and said, She hath been more righteous than I; because that I gave her not to Shelah my son. And he knew her again no more.

Moses took the vail off in the presence of Yahweh.

Exo 34: v34. But when Moses went in before Yahweh to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel [that] which he was commanded.

Yahweh took the bonnets off women.

Isa 3: v16. Moreover Yahweh saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing [as] they go, and making a tinkling with their feet

V18. In that day Yahweh will take away the bravery of [their] tinkling ornaments [about their feet,] and [their] cauls, and [their] round tires like the moon

V20. The bonnets (turbans), and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings.  

Samson's mother prayed to Yahweh uncovered.

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.

V12. And it came to pass, as she continued praying before Yahweh, that Eli marked her mouth (saw her lips move which would not be possible if she was wearing a vail.)

Why would Peter mention ornaments in the hair if it was covered up with a vail?

1Pe 3: v3. Whose adorning let it not be that outward [adorning] of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;

v4. But [let it be] the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, [even the ornament] of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of YahwehShua of great price.

Likewise, why would Timothy mention ornaments of the head if they were covered up with a vail?

1Ti 2: v9. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array.

Now, Paul’s scriptures:

1Co 11: v4. Every man praying or prophesying, having [his] head covered (with long hair unless he had taken a Nazarite vow), dishonoureth his head (YahwehShua).

V5. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with [her] head uncovered (no hair unless Nazarite vow) dishonoureth her head (husband): for that is even all one as if she were shaven (women captured in war or treatment for leprosy had head shaved = shame [Lev 13: v32. And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, [if] the scall {scab of leprosy} spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scall [be] not in sight deeper than the skin; V33. He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the scall seven days more: V34. And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, [if] the scall be not spread in the skin, nor [be] in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean], (completing Nazarite vow with hair shaved = no shame).

V6. For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn (Nazarite vow): but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven (as above), let her be covered (with her hair or cover).

V7. For a man indeed ought not to cover [his] head (with long hair unless Nazarite vow), forasmuch as he is the image and glory of (YahwehShua): but the woman is the glory of the man.

V9. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man (mutual voluntary submission to one another but with an orderly chain of command Yahweh the Father-YahwehShua-Husband-Wife).

V10. For this cause ought the woman to have power on [her] head (voluntary submission between husband and wife, typically with the husband having shorter hair than the wife with longer hair) because of the angels (angels at the direction of YahwehShua look over the assemblies being perfected:  Rev 1: v20. The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven assemblies: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven assemblies).

 V13. Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto Yahweh the Father uncovered (without hair unless Nazarite vow)?

V14. Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him (unless he's doing a Nazarite vow)?

V15. But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for [her] hair is given her for a covering (her hair is her covering!).

HalleluYahwehShua!
