MELCHIZEDEK, KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS!

KING OF PEACE! ALMIGHTY ELOHIM YAHWEH!

The Name of YAHweh is in the name of His Son, YAHshua! Yahweh bless you, and keep you: Yahweh make his face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you: Yahweh lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. "And they shall put MY NAME upon the children of Israel; and I WILL bless them." Numbers 6:24-27 * For Yahweh your Elohim has chosen him [Levi] out of all your tribes to stand to MINISTER IN THE NAME OF YAHWEH, him and his sons for ever. Deuteronomy 18:5

WORSHIP YAH! PRAISE YAH! YOU PEOPLE. HALLELUYAH! OUR MELCHIZEDEK, KING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, KING OF PEACE! HIS SON YAHSHUA WHO WILL REIGN AS PRINCE OF PEACE AND JUDGE IN HIS FATHER'S ORDER. In Genesis chapters 11 -- 13, we come to Abraham. It first speaks of him as "Abram." Then a promise is given onto Abram, and Yahweh changes his name from Abram to Abraham. But what is the sign of the covenant? When he changes his name. And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, YAHWEH (Holy Spirit of fire) appeared (Michael) to Abram, and YAHWEH said unto him, I am El-Shaddai*; walk before Me, and be thou perfect. And I will make My covenant between Me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face: (Worship) and Elohim talked with him, saying, As for Me, behold, My covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. Isaiah 9:6. Genesis 17:6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will establish My covenant between Me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be an Elohim unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their Elohim. And Elohim said unto Abraham, Thou shalt keep My covenant therefore, thou, and thy seed after thee in their generations. This is My covenant, which You shall keep, between Me and you and thy seed after thee and My seed; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. Genesis 17:1-10 * And Yahweh added: "You are not able to see My face, because no man may see Me and yet live." Exodus 33:20. No man has seen the Father at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared Him. John 1:18. Study: Acts 1:4-19; 2:17,25,37-47, Galatians 3:1-16,17-29.

Remember, all of Yahweh’s promises to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and David were that Israel would be a nation before Him forever. The promise never was that there would be only a few righteous people among their descendants. The promise was that there would be a great nation and a company of nations. Although incapable of good in itself, the nation could be Yahweh’s servant under the leadership of Yahweh’s righteous remnant. In Isaiah 1:9 we are told, " Except Yahweh had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like Gomorrah." In Genesis 18:26-32 Yahweh revealed to Abraham that even a small righteous remnant in Sodom, even as few as ten persons, could have saved it. Yet Yahweh has always found a way to use His remnant for His own purposes, in Genesis 3:15 Yahweh declared that the redeemer would be one of Eve's descendants. Abel was presumably as sinful as other men, yet we are told in Hebrews 11:4, " By faith Abel offered unto Yahweh a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, Yahweh testifying of his gifts; and by it, being dead, he yet speaks." We are told in Hebrews 11:7, " By faith, Noah, being warned of Yahweh of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith." Abraham also had his sins, but Romans 4:3 says, "For what is said in the scriptures: Abraham believed Yahweh, and it was counted unto him for righteousness."

This was Yahweh’s plan from the beginning. He knew that even the best of His people would not be able to achieve righteousness by man’s own goodness. So, Yahweh prepared to give them His own Righteousness as KING! In Isaiah 54:17 Yahweh promises, " No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of Yahweh, and their righteousness is of Me, says Yahweh." All men have sinned, even the remnant, and have justly earned the penalty of death. However, Yahweh has paid that penalty for us through the death of His Son the Messiah Yahshua upon the stake. If we believe Yahweh in this, He imputes to us the perfect righteousness of Yahshua as Yahshua shall judge.

And Elohim said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, YAHWEH Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is My Name for ever, and this is My Memorial unto all generations. Exodus 3:15. Blessed is His Name: Yahweh heard my cry and inclined unto me. Yahweh lifted me up, and has not made my foes to rejoice over me. Psalms 30:1, 40:1 Blessed be the Name of Yahweh... Blessed be Yahweh, who daily loads me with benefits, the Elohim of our Salvation. Psalms 68:19. For I say unto you, You shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of YAHWEH. Matthew 23:39. Critics have charged that passages such as John 1:18, Exodus 33:20, and Genesis 32:30 contradict one another. In John 1:18, the apostle wrote: "No man has seen the Father at any time." In Exodus 33:20 Yahweh said to Moses: "You cannot see My face; for no man can see Me and live." But Genesis 32:30 records Jacob as saying: "And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen Elohim face to face, and my life is preserved." Have John and Moses--two of the most influential writers in the Scriptures—contradicted each other as infidels and skeptics have suggested? No, they have not. The Scriptures are internally consistent, and does not contradict itself. The "contradiction" is the result of the passages being taken out of the context in which they were written originally. For example, consider the following two statements. Joe is rich; Joe is poor. Do these statements contradict one another? Not necessarily. Is it not possible that Joe could be rich spiritually but poor physically? We must remember first of all that two statements which in terms flatly contradict one another may be both of them absolutely true, for the reason that the two terms are not used in the same sense in the two statements. Yahweh has spoken, but on many occasions He sent His angels, messengers to speak in the first person for Him, as Michael who is like El, did on many occasions in the Scriptures, but again, NOT ONE OF MANKIND HAS SEEN YAHWEH! Adam and Eve only heard Yahweh's voice and surely Michael's :o)..

Then I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered. "Then Abram removed his tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and built there an altar unto Yahweh" (Genesis 13:16,18). The connection between this statement and the immediate context is also full of instruction. "Mamre" signifies fatness and "Hebron" means fellowship. Notice the opening word "then": it was not until Lot had left him and Abram was fully (Holy Spirit) in the will of Yahweh that Hebron- fellowship- is now mentioned for the first time! It is disobedience that hinders full fellowship with Yahweh. And, note, too, that Abram "built there an altar unto Yahweh." Fellowship resulted in Worship! This is ever the order: obedience, fatness of soul, fellowship, Worship. Confirmatory of these remarks, is it not significant that this very "Hebron" became the inheritance and portion of Caleb who "followed Yahweh fully!- "Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day; because that he wholly followed YAHWEH Elohim of Israel." Joshua 14:14. So Abraham, in his righteousness allowed Lot to take the greater part and him the lesser. In this, I believe that Abraham was blessed. Yahshua said: Matthew 5:9 - Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of YAHWEH. .what does this mean mean?"..in Acts 1:4,5 ". . .wait for the promise of the Father," Yahshua said, "which you heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence."

After that a man who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. He was then tabernacling among the big trees of Mamre the Amorite, the brother of Eshchol, and brother of Aner: and they were confederates of Abram. Thus Abram got to hear that his brother had been taken captive. With that he mustered his trained men, three hundred and eighteen slaves born in his household, and went in pursuit up to Dan. And by night he resorted to dividing his forces, he and his servants, by night against them, and thus he defeated them and kept in pursuit of them up to Hobah, which is north of Damascus. And he proceeded to recover all the goods, and he recovered also Lot his brother and his goods and also the women and the people. Then the king of Sodom went out to meet him after he returned from defeating Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, to the Low Plain of Shaveh, that is, the king’s Low Plain. And Melchizedek KING of Salem YAHWEH brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest Michael (connection to the Son of El-Elyon)*. And (Michael) he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of El-Elyon, Creator of heaven and earth: And blessed be El-Elyon, which has delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. After that the king of Sodom said to Abram: "Give me the souls, but take the goods for yourself." At this Abram said to the king of Sodom: "I do lift up my hand [in an oath] to 'YAHWEH, 'El-Elyon, 'Most High El, "Creator of heaven and earth", that from a thread to a sandal lace, no, I shall take nothing from anything that is YOURS, in order that you may not say, ‘It was I who made Abram rich. Save only that which the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men which went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their share. 'Most High El! Genesis 14:13-24. Study Genesis 22:3-24 & Judges 9:7-57;14:8,9 & 2 Chronicles 9:22-28 & Psalms 89:22-29 & John 15:1-8. For our Elohim is a consuming fire. Hebrews 12:29. Abraham was blessed by Ruach HaKodesh ka'sher dibber (ROO-akh hak-KOH-desh ka-a-SHER deeb-BEIR) that day by Holy Spirit Of Promise. Ephesians 1:13. Michael/Yahshua who is like El was there that day with Abraham.

"What is the "baptism of fire"?" The "baptism of fire" is only mentioned in two places in the Scriptures: "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me will come one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not fit to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire." Matthew 3:11. Now as the people were in expectation and all were reasoning in their hearts about John: "May he perhaps be the Messiah?" John gave the answer, saying to all: "I, for my part, baptize you with water; but the one stronger than I am is coming, the lace of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize You people with Holy Spirit and with fire'. Luke 3:15,16. Yet the first scriptures in Genesis didn’t say anything at all about relating to water baptism? The answer is that every Scripture told, every subject talked about, every battle fought in the Old Testament had a spiritual revelation in the New Testament. YAHWEH said unto my (Master Yahshua), Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. YAHWEH shall send the rod of thy strength out of Zion: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of thy power, in the beauties of holiness from the womb of the morning: thou hast the dew of thy youth. YAHWEH has sworn, and will not regret, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. YAHWEH at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. Psalms 110:1-7. Isaiah 66:1-11, Until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Matthew 5:34; 22:44, Mark 12:36, Luke 20:43, Acts 2:35; 7:49, & Romans 11:8-36 & Hebrews 1:13; 10:13.

Did the Messiah Yahshua use the Holy Name of YAHWEH? Our Father...Hallowed be THY NAME! Therefore pray after this manner: 'Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.' Matthew 6:9. And Yahshua was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when he had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: "The Spirit of Yahweh [is] upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to [the] poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to [the] captives And recovery of sight to [the] blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of Yahweh." Then He closed the book, and gave [it] back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all who were in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing." Isaiah 11:1-4 * Luke 4:17-21 * "O Righteous Father, the world has not known you: but I known YOU, and these (disciples) have known that YOU have sent me. And I HAVE DECLARED YOUR NAME to them, and I will declare it so that the love with which YOU have loved me may be in them, and I may be in them. John 5:43; 17:5,25,26. Can Messiah Yahshua's usage of the Divine Name be documented in history? OH YES IT CAN! The Master Yahshua did not, would not, could not, use HaShem and Adonai as substitutes for his Father's Name because that would have been bringing the Name to naught, a 3rd commandment Torah violation that would have disqualified him from being the SPOTLESS FAULTLESS LAMB. As the LAMB OF YAHWEH he never stopped using the Name Yahweh and now in his high priestly role, He has not stopped using it.There are some who believe that the Messiah only referred to Yahweh as "The Father" or believe that Yahshua also followed the doctrine that states Yahweh's Name is too holy to pronounce. But this was one of many false teachings coming out of that era. Yahshua rightly judged those who would rather do things according to the "tradition of the elders" rather than the way Yahweh wanted them done. "Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? Against whom have you raised your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? The Holy One of Israel." Isaiah 37:23. It should be obvious to anyone that when Yahweh does something nearly 7,000 times.. that is the way He wills it to be done. He doesn't want us to come in later and change the way He has done things. Yet Yahweh placed His name in scripture nearly 7,000 times and the "tradition of the elders" is to replace His name each one of those 7,000 times with a title of man's own choosing (e.g. LORD, GOD, Adonai, HaShem, etc). And although the Hebrew word ‘elohiym was nearly always translated, God, god, gods, goddess and goddesses in our English versions, Brown-Driver-Briggs’ Hebrew Lexicon correctly tells us that the number one meaning of the word ‘elohiym is, 1a) rulers, judges. Strong’s Hebrew and Chaldee Dictionary tells us that the Hebrew word translated covenant means compact, thus MELCHIZEDEK OUR KING OF RIGHETEOUSNESS AND PEACE YAHWEH! ~ is telling us that we are not to enter into a compact with the rulers, or judges, of other nations. Genesis 1:26,28 ~Then Yahweh said: Let My House at Abel (which no human hand will be allowed to destroy) make mankind in our image, according to our likeness; they will have rulership over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the cattle, and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the Earth. Then Yahweh blessed him, and Yahweh said to him: Be fruitful and multiply; fill the Earth and subdue it: have rulership over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the Earth. Proverbs 8:22-31. The world has never been completely without war. However, in approximately of His will those who remain alive will see a world without war. Yahweh's 574 Laws are His strength which will turn mankind from the way of the GODS, to total Righteousness and peace through His Prince of Peace Yahshua. Yahshua said "I have come IN MY FATHER'S NAME YAHWEH, and you do not receive me: if another shall come in his own name, you will receive him." John 5:43.

Before I go on lets reason: If we're to Worship the Father and the Son is it not any different than the blasphemous Satanic Trinity Doctrine? Now the true question is, is Yahweh still calling? Of course He is. If He is still calling then, the baptism it of Holy His Spirit also for today? People say that, that was 2000 years ago, we have the Bible today so we don’t need the baptism of the Holy Spirit any more. Satan doesn’t want you to know that so you don’t go and learn anything new and you can’t interpret scripture without the baptism of the Holy Spirit. For it says in 1 Corinthians 2:14 "But a physical man does not receive the things of the Spirit of YAHWEH, for they are foolishness to him; and he cannot get to know [them], because they are examined spiritually." Defining Worship: To the Hebrew and Aramaic ~ Alright, so the Scriptures voice all about Worship right? The word shows up hundreds of times. What did it mean to the apostles and the OT father's? Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, "What is your occupation?" So they said to Pharaoh, "Your servants are shepherds, both we and our fathers." Genesis 47:3..etc. 49:18 I have waited for thy Salvation, O YAHWEH. I was over-joyed by what I found. Let's start with the OT: Abraham Worshipping Yahweh with Issac on Mt. Horeb (Genesis 22:5) Abraham was old, and well stricken in age. Yahweh had blessed Abraham in all things. Genesis 24:1. [1] And Abraham - The book of the generation of Yahshua the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Matthew 1:1. - The entire chapter is highly aweinspiring: (1) Abraham, type of a certain king who would make a marriage for his son. Matthew 22:2; John 6:44. (2) the unnamed servant, type of the Holy Spirit, who does not "speak of himself," but takes of the things of the Bridegroom with which to win the bride. John 16:13,14. (3) the servant, type of the Spirit as enriching the bride with the Bridegroom's gifts. Galatians 5:22, 1 Corinthians 12:7-11. (4) the servant, type of the Spirit as bringing the bride to the meeting with the Bridegroom. Acts 13:4 16:6,7; Romans 8:11; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-16. (5) Rebekah, type of the assembly the ecclesia, the "called out" virgin bride of the Messiah. Genesis 24:16; 2 Corinthians 11:2; Ephesians 5:25-32. (6) Isaac, type of the Bridegroom, "whom not having yet seen," the bride loves through the testimony of the unnamed Servant. 1 Peter 1:8 (7) Isaac, type of the Bridegroom who goes out to meet and receive His bride. Genesis 24:63; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-16.

My praise shall be of thee in the great assembly: I will pay my vows before them that fear Him. The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise YAHWEH that seek Him: your heart shall live forever. All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto YAHWEH: and all the kindreds of the nations shall Worship before thee. For the Kingdom is YAHWEH'S: All they that be fat upon earth shall eat and Worship: all they that go down to the dust shall bow before Him: and none can keep alive his own soul. A seed shall serve Him; it shall be accounted to YAHWEH for a generation. Psalms 22:25-30. A generation to live for a 1000 years... of Peace! Shalom! ABBA YAHWEH'S DISCIPLINE AS YAHSHUA'S FATHER AND OUR FATHER! A son is wise where there is a father’s discipline, but the ridiculer is one that has not heard rebuke. The one holding back his rod is hating his son, but the one loving him is he that does look for him with discipline. Proverbs 13:1,24. However, when we are judged, we are disciplined by YAHWEH, that we may not become condemned with the world. 1 Corinthians 11:32. The key to the knowledge of the Almighty and His Word has been taken away. "Woe unto you, lawyers! (or Scribes) for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in you hindered", Yahushua said to them, in Luke 11:52. The Interpreter's Dictionary of the Scriptures says in Vol. 2 p 407, "The Name of (the Mighty El one) is the key to understanding the True Worship and of (the Almighty El One)." The confusion had started: the Name, the key to understanding the Scriptures and its Author, had been taken away and the Scribes tried to justify this change by misinterpreting and twisting the Third Commandment. In that same period, we read in the Mishna how they added 39 additional, unscriptural laws on Sabbath keeping - adding to the Word of Yahweh as He clearly prohibited in Deuteronomy 4:2 ~ You shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish ought from it, that you may keep the commandments of YAHWEH your Elohim which I command you. These 39 laws contributed to Satan's plan to make the Sabbath a burden instead of it being a delight. Indeed "teaching for doctrines the commandments of men." Yahushua warned the lawyers against burdening the people with man-made laws in Luke 11:46, "woe unto you also, You lawyers! for you lade men with burdens grievous to be borne ..." When reading Parshas VeZos HaBerachah in the course of the Tikkun on the night of Hoshana Rabbah, its Hebrew text only is recited [as with all the other parshiyos], once. The reading of each verse twice in Hebrew and once in the Aramaic rendition called Targum Onkelos [569] takes place on the eve of Simchas Torah. [570] A gartl is worn for the reading of the entire Book of (Psalms) Tehillim after midnight on Hoshana Rabbah. This reading is customarily not lengthy. At the completion of each of the [five] sefarim of the Book of Tehillim, one reads the brief prayer (beginning yehi ratzon) [571] which is read on Hoshana Rabbah, as well as the similar prayer which is read after the moon has risen, [572] but not the prayer [573] which is said on Yom-Tov. [574] Torah Laws which Our KING YAHWEH gave unto Moshe. A Message to Hebrews and Gentiles.

206-196 B.C.E. was another turbulent period of transition for Judea. The struggle between the Seleucid and Ptolemaic kingdoms boiled over once again and resulted in Antiochus III driving the Egyptians out of the region by 198 B.C. By this time, the Hellenized priesthood were nothing more than rich politicians choosing sides and playing the two kingdoms. It is about this time that the Sanhedrin was first formed. The Sanhedrin was an organized religious body made up of mostly laymen and a few minor priests who were sick of the liberal priesthood and their politics. They claimed they wanted to get back to ‘pure religion’? Some rabbinical writings claim the Sanhedrin was a continuation of the ‘Great Assembly’ from the Persian period but this appears to be a fabrication in an attempt to legitimize the Sanhedrin and had nothing to do with the True Worship of Yahweh it was pure mire religion. There is no historical evidence to support any such continuity between the two religious bodies. Besides that is the fact that the Sanhedrin could not possibly be a continuation of the Great Assembly because the Great Assembly was made up of Levitical priests only. In 175 B.C., Antiochus Epiphanies ascended to the Seleucid throne. Antiochus led several successful but extremely costly campaigns against Egypt. When he prepared to assume the spoils of Egypt, he was blocked by threats from Rome. After a Jewish rebellion against his appointed high priest and frustrating intervention from Rome, Antiochus took out his fury on Judea and attempted to snuff out Judaism altogether which was the right thing to do. This extremely violent treatment on the Jews is recorded in the book of Maccabees as well as in Josephus historical accounts. Daniel foretold this time in Daniel 11:21-39. The Levitical priests sided with Antiochus but leaders of the Sanhedrin gave their support to Judas Maccabee, whose family lead armies to victory over Antiochus. Jewish independence was declared and Judas purified the Temple in 165 B.C. still is Yahweh's temple on earth? The Sanhedrin felt completely justified in becoming the authoritative religious body of Judea. The people of the land agreed with the Sanhedrin lay-members. This caused two political factions to form within the Sanhedrin. The Pharisees made up the vast majority and were the self-appointed lay-teachers and minor priests. The Sadducees were a tremendous minority and tried to form Levitical priests. Matthew and Levi were also names in the family of Joseph, Mary's husband. The Mother of Yahshua the Son of Yahweh. Another individual who is mentioned in the Gospels and the book of Acts (Matthew 10:3; Mark 2:14, 3:18; Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13), Alphaeus, had sons named Levi, James (Jacob), and possibly Judas. The similarity of these names with those in Joseph's family, and the relative uncommonness of the name Jacob, suggests that Alphaeus was, like Clopas, a kinsman of Joseph, possibly a younger brother. Alphaeus was another uncommon name in first century Palestine: Aramaic, signifying "Yahweh has replaced," such as a dead child. Levi the son of Alphaeus (Mark 2:14) is confused with another tax collector named Matthew (Matthew 9:9), quite possibly because the latter was also a relative. Paul, and his visit to Athens in Acts 17:18,23 - Then certain philosophers of the Epicureans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him. And some said, What will this babbler say? other some, He seems to be a setter forth of strange mighty ones: because he preached unto them Yahshua, and the resurrection. "Paul then stood up in the meeting of Areopagus and said: 'Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious and superstitious. For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN MIGHTY ONE. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you. 'YAHWEH that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Ruler of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though He needed any thing, seeing He gives to all life, and breath, and all things; And has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined the the appointed times, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek Him, if possibly they might feel after Him, and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us: For in Him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also His offspring. Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of YAHWEH, we ought not to think that the Most High El is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. Idolatry is usually defined as worship of any cult image, idea, or object, "Unrighteous idolaters! as opposed to the Worship of Yahweh, Yahweh's breath and fingers: "You must not make for yourself a carved image or a form like anything that is in the heavens above or that is on the earth underneath or that is in the waters under the earth. You must not bow down to them nor be induced to serve them, You shall not make with Me an elohim of silver, neither shall you make unto you elohim of gold. Exodus 20:4,5,23. "For thou shalt worship no other el: for YAHWEH, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous El" (Exodus 34:14) An Elohim of exclusive devotion, not the evil jealousy of Satan and the world of the wicked. "All the earth shall Worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy Name." Selah. (Psalm 66:4). Virtually every time it appears, it is the Hebrew word Shachah - to bow down or prostrate oneself. It's used 100 times as "Worship" and ~ 50 times as bow or stoop, but still is it accurate knowledge that we are to worship Yahshua?: "Therefore, let us leave the elementary teachings about the Messiah and go on to maturity; not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in Yahweh, instruction about baptisms, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment." Hebrews 6:1,2.The correct teaching about the laying on of hands is clear from the Scriptures. By close contact, the righteous can transmit some spiritual power to another person. We're going to consider four ways that the laying of hands is used in Scripture: 1.To impart blessing. 2. For healing. 3. To pass on the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) of Yahweh, and spiritual gifts. 4.To commission ministers. These gifts are given to those who Worship Yahweh in Spirit and Truth! HalleluYah!

Offer unto Elohim thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the Most High: And call upon Me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and Thou shall glorify me. But unto the wicked Elohim says, What has thou to do to declare My statutes, or that thou should take My covenant in thy mouth? Seeing thou hates My discipline, and cast My words behind thee. Whenever you saw a thief, you were even pleased with him; And your sharing was with adulterers. Your mouth you have let loose to what is evil, And your tongue you keep attached to deception. You sit and speak against your own brother, Against the son of your mother you give away a fault. These things you have done, and I kept silent. You imagined that I would positively become like you. I am going to reprove you, and I will set things in order before your eyes. Understand this, please, You forgetters of YAHWEH, That I may not tear [You] to pieces without there being any deliverer. The one offering Thanksgiving and as sacrifice is the one that Glorifies Me; And as for the one keeping a set way, I will cause them to see My Salvation." Because with thou You have made YAHWEH, YOUR refuge, You have made the Most High Himself, Your dwelling; There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling in His House. For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in hand, That you may not strike your foot against any stone. Thou shall tread upon the lion and cobra you will tread: the young lion and the dragon shall thou trample under feet. Because He has set His love upon me, therefore I will deliver him: I will set him on high, because he has known My Name. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in time of trouble; I will deliver him, and ask that You honour him. I shall rescue him and glorify him. With everlasting life will I be with him, and he knows I am his Salvation. Psalms 50:14-19; 91:9-16. Yahshua inherited the throne of David, still David was a man of sin, Yahshua is not, in the above Scriptures David voiced of the Messiah as Yahweh gave unto David who also witnessed of him and of his coming. AND TAKE NOTE ALSO OF SATAN .......The Messiah was born of the Most High through the virgin birth, Mary just as prophesied but however in his first coming Yahshua did not crush the head of Satan but dealt with the problem of sin by doing away with the damage that had been done by Satan by removing his plan of taking all mankind to hell (death) through their sin and giving us a solution to reconcile our relationship that broke in the garden with his Father. Yahshua was bruised died for the worlds sins. Through the shed blood of Messiah on the torture stake he allowed each one of us to regain the confidence that through forgiveness of sins we could be assured of everlasting life in him and that few would go to heaven, and that the meek inherit the earth. He also removed the works of the devil of healing the sick, blind and broken hearted by freeing them from disease. Matthew 9:6. The Messiah himself told us that he has the power to forgive sins, only Elohim has the ability to forgive sins, in this we see that the Messiah has his Father's divine qualities and also raised a few from the dead, as so did EliYah in the OT, but by the Holy Spirit of the Almighty One YAHWEH Himself, as well as Yahshua was born of Holy Spirit of the Most High EL and his Father gave him the authority. Isaiah 42:1;53:5;68:8 * Daniel 7:13-14 * Jeremiah 23:5,6 * Matthew 16:27; 24:3,44 * Luke 17:25;21:25 * Acts 1:6-7 * Revelation 19:9-21. No one knows the day of Yahshua's return only his Father, he doesn't even know. “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only. Matthew 24:36. Yahshua will reign for 1,000 years as he is a Submissive Son and did his Abba Father's will and will again, at the end of the 1,000 years Satan will be let out of the abyss, then Yahshua will crush Satan. The Book of Revelation places the final battle between good and evil in this place, the Hill of Megiddo, HarMegiddo in Hebrew or Aramaic. Armageddon is Greek and has no context in the NT, nor the Hebrew and Aramiac Book of Revelation. O give thanks unto YAHWEH; for He is good: because His Mercy Endures Forever. Let Israel Now Say, that His Mercy Endures Forever! Let the house of Aaron Now Say, that His Mercy endures Forever! Let them Now that fear YAHWEH Say, that His Mercy Endures Forever! I called upon YAH in distress: YAH answered me, and set me in a large place. YAHWEH is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? YAHWEH takes my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my (the earth) footstool upon them that hate me. It is better to trust in YAHWEH than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in YAHWEH than to put confidence in princes. All nations compassed me about: but in the Name of YAHWEH will I destroy them. They compassed me about; yes, they compassed me about: but in the Name of YAHWEH I will destroy them. They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thornsbushes: for in the Name of YAHWEH I will destroy them. Thou has thrust sore at me that I might fall: but YAHWEH helped me. YAH is my strength and song, is my might and Salvation. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of YAHWEH does justice. The right hand of YAHWEH is exalted: the right hand of YAHWEH Judges Majestically. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of YAH. YAH has
disciplined me: but He has not given me over unto death. Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will Praise YAHWEH: This gate of YAHWEH, into which the righteous shall enter. I will Praise thee: for thou has heard me, and YOU ARE my Salvation. The stone that the builders rejected Has become the head of the corner. This Has become to Be from YAHWEH Himself; it is wonderful in our eyes. Give thanks to YAHWEH, You people, for He is good; For His loving-kindness is to time indefinite. Psalms 118:1-23,29. I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That You may be the children of Your Father which is in heaven: for He makes the sun to rise on the wicked as well evil on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love them which love you, what reward have you? do not even the publicans the same? And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more than others? do not even the publicans so? Be therefore be perfect, even as Your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:44-48. Those who bear his name must be very careful what they choose to say to others for his Father's Name is in him. All the world watches to see the love for one another that Yahshua also said would be evident among his disciples. We must always remember that all that we write and say is written down for judgement! Matthew 12:36 - But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Rabbi, which is the great commandment in the law? Yahshua said unto him, Thou shall love YAHWEH thy Elohim with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the First and Greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shall love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22:36-40. True, YAHWEH overlooked the times of such ignorance, yet now he is telling mankind that they should all everywhere repent. Because He has set a day in which He purposes to Judge the inhabited earth in Righteousness by a man whom He has appointed, and He has furnished a guarantee to all mankind in that He has resurrected him from the dead." Well, when they heard of a resurrection of the dead, some began to mock, while others said: "We will hear you about this even another time." Acts 17:24-32. He Who Has delivered us from the power of darkness, and Has transferred us into the kingdom of His beloved Son of His love: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even for the forgiveness of our sins: Colossians 1:13,14. For even hereunto were you called: because the Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps: Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered, he threatened not; but submitted himself to Him that judges righteously. 1 Peter 2:21-23. The People who sat in Darkness (The Sin and ignorance of being SELF-SEEKING) ---Finally saw A Great Light (The wisdom of seeking The Righteousness of YAHWEH), To those who sat in the Region and Shadow of Death (Sin or separation from YAHWEH), To them did Light (The Gospel of Seeking YAHWEH'S Righteousness) spring up." From that time, Y'Shua (The Light Source) began to SHARE (The Gospel of Seeking YAHWEH'S Righteousness), and to say, "Repent for The (Coming) Kingdom of Heaven (On Earth) is at hand." NEW JERUSALEM!

I’m not talking about simply not realizing (yet) that some of Yahweh's Word has ramifications beyond its plain surface meaning—that Yahweh uses symbols and metaphors to communicate with us. We’ve all had scriptural epiphanies, where one minute we didn’t "get it" and the next minute we did. Our lives as believers is a journey from darkness into light, and we all take the trip at different rates of speed. No, I’m talking about willful ignorance, a determination not to explore the Scriptures in response to questions that are begging to be answered. And why would someone do this? Because of what they’ve read into a few scattered verses, taken out of context, of course: a perceived admonition against inquiry—don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t even think. Not knowing everything may not hurt you, but the fact remains, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 3:6. One of these areas of willful ignorance is the subject of Yahweh’s plan and time schedule. If you agree in the like , you were taught that Elohim doesn't hear all prayers and His knowing of the heart is very close to the vest: "We can’t discern anything about it," they say, because after all, Yahshua told his disciples, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority." (Acts 1:7) Or, "But of that day and hour no one knows [literally, perceives], no, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only." (Matthew 24:36) his point (in both places) was that we should not fixate on the hour of his return for His people, but rather that we should live our lives doing his Father's will as he did and will again, seeking perfection in his Father, serving in joy while remaining watchful. But it is too often taken as a command to ignore the obvious (or semi-obvious) clues Yahweh has left us concerning His schedule, His agenda, His plan, if only we’ll open our eyes. Even these "proof texts," recruited to encourage willful ignorance, don't teach us something significant: that the Father does have a schedule; He has put times and seasons under His own authority. But Yahweh exists outside of the restraints of time. The scriptural information explaining Elohim’s schedule, strewn from Genesis to Revelation, is there for our benefit and enlightenment, not His. Our focus in the present work is on the Torah, which Yahshua the Messiah observed perfectly, and more specifically, on those things within it that were not previously addressed in the Maimonides’ incredibly significant annual festival calendar Yahweh instructed Israel to observe, along with other periodic Laws. Where the Rambam mentioned these convocations at all, it was invariably in reference to the mechanical bits and pieces he could "safely" list (such as what to present as offerings) while remaining blissfully oblivious to what Yahweh was really telling His people. These seven annual observances, along with the weekly Sabbath, are like Yahweh's "to do" list, a schedule of events in Yahweh’s personal date planner. Through them He is delineating what He considers the seven most significant milestones in His plan for our redemption, as well as revealing the order of these events. Exodus 5:1 * Leviticus 23:1-4 (qodesh miqrym), * Nehemiah 8:8 *.. We ignore this information at our peril. But this attitude is seriously flawed: Yahweh here declares that "These are My feasts." We thus ignore them to our own detriment. For generations after these instructions were given to Israel, only two of the seven annual mo‘edim had any prophetic basis. To be sure, the object study inherent in these two (the initial Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread) marked a turning point, in the life of Israel. Before the exodus, they had been a rabble, a loosely organized assembly of Semitic clans with a common ancestral line, enslaved by their former hosts on the basis of biological prejudice and a lust for power. But after forty years under Moses’ leadership in the wilderness, they emerged a nation, unified by one thing above all others—the recognition of Yahweh as the One true Elohim. Of more fundamental importance, each of the remaining three mo‘edim can be expected to fulfill a Divine promise of sweeping consequence, something on the same order of magnitude as the first four. To briefly recap these, (1) Passover marked the sacrifice Yahweh made to atone for the sins of mankind; (2) The Feast of Unleavened Bread the removal of our sins from us; (3) The Feast of Firstfruits prophesied the resurrection of Yahshua from the dead, demonstrating his ability and intention to raise us who follow him into a new life as well; and (4) the Feast of Weeks fulfilled Yahshua’s John 14:16,17 promise (and David’s Psalm 51:11 prayer & song) that whereas he had been with his disciples, afterward he would be in them—And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it sees Him not, neither knows Him: but You know Him; for He dwells with You, and shall be in You. The Spirit of Yahweh indwelling and empowering every believer. The final three mo‘edim can be expected to enlighten with three as one, every bit as vital to our eternal relationship with our Creator as well as being one with Him and His Son. For he received from YAHWEH his Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the Excellent Glory, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 2 Peter 1:17. This is he who came by water and blood— Yahshua the Messiah; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. 1 John 5:6-8.

You couldn’t ordinarily keep manna leftovers. The Israelites found out the hard way that hoarding manna didn’t work. You couldn’t gather a double ration of manna today if you didn’t and don't trust Yahweh Yireh to supply your needs tomorrow, because the stuff would go bad overnight and stink up your tent, so what is the stuff that stinks the inside of the cup? You had to use what Yahweh provided, when He provided it, and will continue to provide once you have faith and actions, proof of. Yahweh was teaching us to Rely on Him day by day: each day’s provision was sufficient for that day alone. He would still be there on the morrow with precisely what we needed for that new day. This was why Jeremiah could write during the darkest days of Judah’s history, "Through Yahweh’s mercies we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:22-23) Yahshua was teaching the same truth when He said, "Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the nations seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of Elohim and His Righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble." Matthew 6:31-34. Joshua 2:4,6. By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace. Hebrews 11:31. Rahab (Joshua chapter 2) stands as one of the ones who had faith and put trust in Yahweh's Grace. She was one of the believers of the Divine goodness of Elohim. (James 2:25), and she lead many of her family to the Son of Elohim Yahshua the Messiah. Joshua 2:12,13. Rahab (Joshua 2; Matthew 1:5; James 2:25) - a prostitute for a long time and then seeked the Salvation she knew is only with our heavenly Father. Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? You behold that his faith worked along with his works and by his works his faith was perfected, And the scripture was fulfilled which says; Abraham put faith and believed YAHWEH, and it was counted to him as righteousness: and he came to be called the Friend of YAHWEH. James 2:21-23. Indeed, as the body without spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead. V. 2:26.

Melchizedek is not so much a name as it is a title or designation of Honor and Worship of Our KING! It is also a position or office that is also filled by a worthy one. The term is a transliteration of two Hebrew words, melek and tsedeq. The Hebrew melek means KING and tsedeq means Righteousness. Therefore, the term "Melchizedek" means literally, "KING of Righteousness." Yahweh Is Our Heavenly Father And CreatorYahshua is Father Yahweh's Son Whom He Anointed And Appointed To Reign As King For 1,000 Years. In Psalm 119:172, David equates the keeping of Yahweh's commandments with righteousness. I will Praise thee with my whole heart: before the mighty will I sing praise unto thee. I will Worship toward YOUR Holy temple, and Praise thy Name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for YOU are magnified above all, thy Name, thy word. On the day that I called, YOU also proceeded to answer me; YOU began to make me bold in my soul with strength. All the kings of the earth shall Praise thee, O YAHWEH, when they shall hear the words of thy mouth. And they will sing about the ways of YAHWEH, For the Glory of YAHWEH is Great. For YAHWEH is on High, and yet the humble one he sees; But the proud one He knows only from a distance. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou will revive me: thou shall stretch forth thine hand against the hate of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall save me. YAHWEH will make perfect that which concerns me: thy mercy, O YAHWEH, endures Forever: Do not desert the WORKS OF YOUR OWN HANDS. Psalms 138:1-23. (Prophecy of the COMING Kingdom Of Yahweh on Earth) Isaiah 9:1-3,6,7. On the other hand, the apostle John relates unrighteousness to sin (1 John 5:17). Therefore, since sin and righteousness are opposites, complying with Yahweh's commandments defines righteousness and violating His commandments defines sin. "Whoever commits sin transgresses also the law, for sin is the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that YAHWEH is light and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Yahshua the Messiah His Son cleanses us from all sin. When I Yahshua said, "I am come as a light into the world," I meant that I came to share the light with you. Who is the light of the world except Yahweh's Son? Each of us as one should seek the light of the world, for Yahweh shares His light with His Son, and by joining our hearts and minds in this light we proclaim the Kingdom of Yahweh together and as one. As you will discover, there Is no difference between "The Kingdom Of Heaven", "The Kingdom Of Yahweh", "The Coming Kingdom of YHWH On Earth," "The Promised Land", "The Inheritance", "New Jerusalem", "Zion", "The Government of Yahweh" or simply "The Kingdom". All of these are the same Kingdom, and That Kingdom exists everywhere in the Universe of Heaven, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of YAHWEH through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last day.That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Yahshua the Messiah: (1 Peter 1:4,5,7), except wherever "Natural Man" exists, but will be established "On Earth" after the First Resurrection and at Messiah Y'Shua's Second Coming! If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:5-10. "If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us." Abraham and his descendants, in which Yahweh promised to multiply the descendants of Abraham, to give them the land of Canaan and to make them a blessing to the nations. Genesis 15:18; 17:2-21, etc.

Even as Abraham believed YAHWEH, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that YAHWEH would justify the nations through faith, preached before the glad tidings unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of YAHWEH, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that does them shall live in them. The Messiah has 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: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Yahshua the Messiah; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He says not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is the Messiah. And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of YAHWEH in the Messiah, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but YAHWEH gave it to Abraham by promise. Wherefore then serves the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but YAHWEH is One. Is the law then against the promises of YAHWEH? By no means: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture has concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Yahshua the Messiah might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto the Messiah, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For You are all the children of YAHWEH by faith in the Messiah Yahshua. For as many of you as have been baptized into the Messiah have put on the Messiah. John 14:13,14. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for You are all one in the Messiah Yahshua. And if You be the Messiah's, then are You of Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:6-29. Read Romans 8:1-16. For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to YAHWEH, that He may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins: Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that He Himself also is compassed with infirmity. And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins. And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of YAHWEH, as was Aaron. So also the 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. As He says also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 5:1-6.

How important is this name? In Joel 2:32 and Romans 10:13 it says "whosoever calls upon the Name of Yahweh shall be saved." By the time of the Messiah, very few people knew the Name of the Creator because they were using a permutation of the Name, "Havayah" or using Adonai or HaShem and so what Messiah did was reveal Yahweh's Name to the world so that the People in the world could choose to be saved. It appears we are living in just such perilous times. When the true name is restored to the Scriptures, the Sacred Writings have more meaning, greater clarity, and greater revelation, and seem to bring the Almighty closer to us. Scriptures tell us every believer should love and call on the name Yahweh. Psalms 5:11; 69:36; 119:132; Isaiah 56:6.

In the Encyclopedia Judaica under " Elohim, Names YHWH" we read, "At least until the destruction of the First Temple in 586 B.C.E, this Name was regularly pronounced as Yahweh! Yah-Wey - But at least by the third century B.C.E. the pronunciation of the Name YHWH was avoided and Adonai,'the Lord'?, was substituted for it-the custom was later introduced of saying simply in Hebrew 'ha-shem' - The avoidance of pronouncing the name YHWH as YAHWEH is generally ascribed to a sense of reverence? Would Yahweh put us on the stake for calling on His Name? His Son called on His Name and made it known! and he died for us on the torture stake. More precisely it was caused by a misunderstanding of the Third Commandment. The true pronunciation of the Name YAHWEH was never lost. Several early Greek writers......testify that the name was pronounced 'Yahueh'? If the Name, the very identity, of the One that we are to Worship, be hidden, then we start erring. And if His Name is eventually substituted by the name of an idol, then we find that error has led to idolatry! I will therefore put you in remembrance, though you once knew this, how that YAHWEH, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Transliteration from the Aramaic form of the Hebrew ge-hinnom, "valley of Hinnom, eternal death a cutting off from YAHWEH. "I have manifested thy Name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world. Holy Father, keep through thine own Name those whom thou has given me. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy Name. And I have declared unto them thy Name, and will declare [it]." John 17:6, 11,12, 26. "But the Master said unto him, Go thy way: for he (Rabbi Sha’ul) is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel." Acts 9:15. Our Faith does not prohibit writing or speaking the Name of Yahweh, it encourages it; it prohibits only obliterating or defacing the Name of Yahweh. We are to avoid writing or saying the Name of Yahweh casually because of the risk that the Name might be defaced, obliterated or destroyed on purpose or accidentally by one who does or does not know better. Be careful with Our Abba Father and His Name!

The New Covenant is a spiritual covenant where mankind Glorifies the Creator within their hearts and minds in spirit and truth. John 4:24. This means that there are no physical ceremonies, rituals, feast days, etc., to perform in order to Worship Elohim. Under the New Covenant the faithful must come to Him in Spirit and in Truth for He is Spirit through our mediator the Messiah Yahshua in pray. The knowledge of Yahweh and actual spiritual experiences to receive everlasting life and spiritual enlightenment. Prayer and study given mankind direct access to the Spirit. The New Covenant also FULFILLS the Promise that Yahweh made to Abraham, that in His seed (Yahshua the Messiah, Galatians 3:16); He would bless all the families of the earth (Jews and Gentile). The Holy Spirit RuachHaKodesh was also poured out on the Gentiles at Cornelius’ house in 40-41 Acts 10:44-45.

(1) Michael/ Yahshua the Messiah is, Abba KING Yahweh's Son Whom He Anointed And Appointed To Reign As King For 1,000 Years! Meshiach anointed one Messiah, Melek in Hebrew :N: king; V: govern, rule over. Aramaic dialect called Syriac. The Jews Worshiped YAHWEH, studied, and conversed in Aramaic for centuries; the eastern wing of the Assembly of people has used Aramaic as its official language from the 3rd century through the present day. As a result of their common interest in the language spoken, as well as Hebrew. Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. Abraham now said to his attendant young men: "You stay here with the ass, but I and the boy want to go on over there and Worship and return to You." Genesis 22:5. Old Testament prophecy of the Messiah's coming given to the prophets from Abba YAHWEH. Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down (obeisance) before thee. Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, My Son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, who shall rouse him up? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him (The Messiah Yahshua) shall the gathering of the people be. Tying his full-grown ass to a vine and the descendant of his own she-ass to a choice vine, he will certainly wash his clothing in wine and his garment in the blood of grapes. Dark red are his eyes from wine, and the whiteness of his teeth is from milk. Genesis 49:8-12. And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus says YAHWEH, Israel is My Son, My firstborn: And I say unto thee, Let My Son go, that he may Serve and Worship Me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn. Our cattle also shall go with us; there shall not an hoof be left behind; for thereof must we take to serve YAHWEH our Elohim Worship Him; and we know not with what we must serve YAHWEH, until we come thither. But YAHWEH hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go. Exodus 3:12,13; 4:21-23; 10:26,27. Yahweh Is Our Heavenly Father And Creator,’El berith covenantal Elohim: (1) And Moses went up unto Elohim, and YAHWEH called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; You have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto Myself. Now therefore, if you will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then You will certainly become My special property out of all [other] peoples, because the whole earth belongs to Me. And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the assembly of the people: and they said, All that YAHWEH has said we will do, and be obedient. Exodus 19:3-5; 24:7. WHEN ISRAEL WAS A CHILD, then I loved him, and CALLED MY SON OUT OF EGYPT. Hosea 11:1; Matthew 2:14-15; John 3:16. And Remember those that don't believe in the Messiah whom was sent forth by YAHWEH have been judged already. John 3:18. He that exercises faith in him is not to be judged. He that does not exercise faith has been judged already, because he has not exercised faith in the Name of the Only-Begotten Son of YAHWEH! John the Baptists' wilderness message was followed by the revelation that the "True Israel of YAHWEH" is the Messiah Yahshua.

And knew her (Mary) not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Yahshua. "Where is the one born king of the Jews? For we saw his star [when we were] in the east, and we have come to do him obeisance." And being warned in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. And when they were departed, behold, the angel Gabriel of YAHWEH appeared to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and stay there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. Matthew 1:25; 2:2,12,13. In the order of Melchizedek Yahweh is our KING who judges in Righteousness & Peace! One of His various Titles for He is our judge, Yahshua has been given the authority as high priest in His Father's order to judge! Mighty El. Isaiah 9:6. Our Prince of Peace! Then Yahshua was led by the Spirit up into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil. After he had fasted forty days and forty nights, then he felt hungry. Also, the Tempter came and said to him: "If you are the Son of Elohim, tell these stones to become loaves of bread." But in reply he said: "It is written, ‘Man must live, not on bread alone, but on every utterance coming forth from YAHWEH'S mouth.’" Then the Devil took him along into the holy city, and he stationed him upon the battlement of the temple and said to him: "If you are the Son of Elohim, hurl yourself down; for it is written, ‘He will give His angels a charge concerning you, and they will carry you on their hands, that you may at no time strike your foot against a stone.’" Yahshua said to him: "Again it is written, ‘Thou shalt not tempt YAHWEH thy Elohim.’" Again the Devil took him along to an unusually high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, and he said to him: "All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me." Then Yahshua said to him: "Go away, Satan! For it is written, Thou shalt Worship YAHWEH thy Elohim, and Him alone only shalt thou serve. Then the Devil left him, and, look! angels came and began to minister to him. Matthew 4:1-11.

Yahshua said: No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You can not serve Elohim and mammon. Matthew 6:24. But You, do not You be called Rabbi, for one is YOUR teacher, whereas all You are brothers. Moreover, do not call anyone Your father on earth, for One is YOUR Father, the heavenly One. Neither be called ‘leaders,’ for YOUR Leader is one, the Messiah. But the greatest one among You must be Your minister. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted. Matthew 23:8-12.'..a man ran up..and began asking him, ‘ Rabboni Yahshua Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?’ And Yahshua said to him, ‘Why do you call Me good? there is none good but One, that is, YAHWEH. Mark 10:17,18. Yahshua said to her, "Believe me, woman, The hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will YOU people worship the Father. YOU worship what YOU do not know; we Worship what we know, because salvation originates with the Jews. Nevertheless, the hour is coming, and it is now, when the true worshipers will Worship the Father with spirit and truth, for, indeed, the Father is looking for suchlike ones to Worship Him. Elohim is Spirit: and they that worship Him Must Worship Him in spirit and in truth. John 4:21-24. These "Blast's" of the shofar are to take place every Friday simultaneously with Jerusalem being blown at 6pm, just before Shabbat begins. LET ELOHIM YAHWEH ARISE IN JERUSALEM! Pray YOUR FLIGHT IS NOT ON THE SABBATH OR THE WINTER TIME! The Messiah Yahshua also said! Keep praying that Your flight may not occur in wintertime, nor on the Sabbath day; for then there will be great tribulation such as has not occurred since the world’s beginning until now, no, nor will occur again. In fact, unless those days were cut short, no flesh would be saved; but on account of the chosen ones those days will be cut short. Matthew 24:20-22.

A Shofar-blow - A powerful catalyst to bring the Glory of our KING YAHWEH! "In unison when the Shofarers and the singers were to make themselves heard with one voice to Praise and to Glorify our Elohim, and when they lifted up their voice accompanied by Shofars and cymbals and instruments of music, and when they Praised YAHWEH saying, Also the Levites which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, with their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them an hundred and twenty four priests sounding with trumpets:) I believe the 24 elders could be angelic rulers as ancient as the 4 beasts (Revelation 4:6), who with the 4 beasts have always Worshipped YAHWEH (Revelation 4:8-11) and offered up with song the prayers of the elect fell down before the Lamb. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou was slain, and has redeemed us to YAHWEH by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; (Revelation 5:8,9;15:6;19:14). Of which, twenty and four thousand were to set forward the work of the house of YAHWEH; and six thousand were rulers and judges: 1 Chronicles 23:4. It came even to pass, as the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in Praising and Thanking YAHWEH; and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of musick, and Praised YAHWEH, saying, For He is good; for His mercy endures forever: that then the house was filled with a cloud, even the house of YAHWEH; So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the Glory of YAHWEH had filled the house of Elohim. "He indeed is good for His loving-kindness is everlasting." 2 Chronicles 5:12-14. The last trumpet: Trumpet--in Hebrew, a Shofar--is generally a Ram's horn. If you have never heard one blown, it is at once a fearful and exciting experience. It moves the emotions like few other sounds. Musically, it strikes you as being slightly off-key, yet perhaps on-key in a key you have never heard. It is filled with both pain and pleasure. It is not much like a modern, smooth trumpet. It is more like a very discordant fog-horn. The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining: And YAHWEH shall utter His voice before His army: for His camp is very great: for he is strong that executes His word: for the day of YAHWEH is great and very terrible; and who can abide it? Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Joel 2:10,11,15. And we are talking about the last trumpet. YAHWEH is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but His loving-kind-ness toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of YAHWEH will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great hissing noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought You to be in all holy speech and Worship unto Him. Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of YAHWEH, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwells righteousness. 2 Peter 3:9-13. This "thief in the night" image is connotative of the night in the Jews marriage tradition--an oft used type by the Messiah Yahshua the Son of YAHWEH. For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of Elohim, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is Elohim, who also has given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from YAHWEH: (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with YAHWEH. Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of Him. For we must all appear before the judgment seat of the Messiah; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he has done, whether it be good or bad. 2 Corinthians 5:1-10. But those who endure unto the end, shall be saved. Matthew 24:13. Let not your heart be troubled: believe in YAHWEH, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also. John 14:1-3. But take heed: behold, I have foretold you all things. But in those days, after the tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory. 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. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When its branch is yet tender, and puts forth leaves, you shall know that summer is near: So in like manner, when you shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done. Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and that hour knows no one of mankind, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but only my Father. Mark 13:23-32. Then, when the place is finished, the groom goes off to fetch his bride--who has been waiting all along. In the Jews tradition, this is generally done at night. Also a tradition is that the "best man" blows a Shofar on a nearby hill, only moments from the bride's chamber. This has two practical benefits: 1) it allows a moment--if just that--for the bride and her attendants to not be caught in an unattended state, and 2) it awakes the village to the start of the marriage banquet and invitation. The 144,000 are individuals who have kept themselves from being tainted by the world. Instead of being defiled by religious beliefs or practices, they have kept themselves morally and ethically pure. Each one has worked diligently to remain unblemished—ready to for the marriage of the Lamb Yahshua the Messiah upon his return. The 24 elders carry the same spirit of YAHWEH'S Angel that Paul calls "thrones" (Colossians 1:16). 24 Elders 6,000 to each seat = 144,000************************24 x 6,000 = 144,000*who will judge as one*with Father and His Son, with our High Priest the Messiah Yahshua the Son of YAHWEH, PRAISE YAH!

Genesis 12:1-3 Now YAHWEH said unto Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. "I will make you unto a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you. THE LAST DAY PROMISES WILL BE FULFILLED! But there is more! Just as YAHWEH kept all of His promises about the coming of the Messiah in Bethlehem, so too He will keep all of His promises concerning the second coming of His Son on the Last Day! On the Last Day, YAHWEH promises that Satan, his demons, and all evil, will be defeated and destroyed by the Messiah Yahshua. On the Last Day, YAHWEH promises that all of His people will be safe and sound and His Kingdom shall come in heaven and on earth. This is the image of the Messiah Yahshua in Revelation 19: After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: "HalleluYah! Salvation and Glory and Power belong to our YAHWEH and Elohim. I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of YAHWEH. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury and the wrath of the Almighty fierceness of El-Shaddai. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: King of Kings and Master of Masters. Revelation 19:1, 11-16.

MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL IS YAHSHUA THE MESSIAH AND THE ANGEL OF YAHWEH! Read in the OT: Genesis 16:7-13; 21:17,18; 28:20-22; 31:11,13. Here is a further text to consider, to also read and study - Genesis 48:14-16. Notice that Israel was talking about YAHWEH and then transitioned to an angel- This is referring back to Genesis 28:13-15 and YAHWEH'S promise to Jacob (Israel) - So in Genesis 48:16 Israel is speaking of YAHWEH and His redeeming angel that was sent forth by YAHWEH!

Again, angel in the sense of a created being, but also meaning messenger word. Redemption is found only in YAHWEH through the Messiah Yahshua, the very only beggotten Son of YAHWEH, and that is exactly who Jacob (Israel) had been speaking with (Michael/Yahshua) and about. Yahshua was, and is, that redeeming angel (messenger) sent from YAHWEH the Abba Father. A similar passage referring to Yahshua as a redeeming angel is in Isaiah 63:7-9.

Exodus 13:21; 14:19. Daniel 3:25-28; 12:1-13. In that day shall YAHWEH defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as Elohim, as the angel (Michael/Yahshua) of YAHWEH before them. Zechariah 12:8. There are so many Old Testament scriptures & NT, that reflect Michael as the only one Archangel and also as the angel of YAHWEH...study to show thyself approved. 2 Timothy 2:15. Read also in the NT: 1 Corinthians 10:1-9 ** and all ate the same spiritual food and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they used to drink from the spiritual rock-mass that followed them, and that rock-mass meant the Messiah. vss' 3,4. Nevertheless, on most of them YAHWEH did not express his approval, for they were laid low in the wilderness. vs 5. Again, the messenger Michael the archangel or the *angel of YAHWEH* is the same as the Messiah Yahshua.

The Hebrew word translated "secret" in the King James (H6383) also can mean "wonderful". Note that this is a title for Yahshua! Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, mighty El, everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Michael is a given name that comes from the Hebrew מִיכָאֵל / מיכאל (Mikha'el), meaning "Who is like EL?" For Elohim ie. YAHWEH, created Michael/Yahshua in His image or likeness. The messenger of the covenant spoken of here in Malachi is clearly a reference to the Messiah Yahshua, and His first and second coming. The word translated as messenger in Malachi 3:1 is the same word [H4397, mal'ak] used in the previous passages of the Old testament where we saw the phrase angel of YAHWEH. So this would also be a proper translation. The Angel of the Covenant Malachi 3:1-3. * Matthew 11:10; Mark 1:2; Luke 1:17; 7:27. Yah’s accounting to be accurate, the Messiyah had to arrive in mankind’s fourth millennia (The 1st began in 3968BCE. The 2nd began in 2968BCE. The 3rd began in 1968BCE. The 4th began in 968BCE. The 5th began in 33CE. The 6th began in 1033CE. And the 7th will commence in 2033.) in accordance with Genesis one, and then be around 33 years old (Luke 3:23’s 30 years plus three years of recorded ministry) when He fulfilled the Miqra’ey of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and FirstFruits in 33 CE. This timing represents forty Yowbel/Redemptive years from the initiation of the Covenant with Abraham and Isaac on Mount Mowriyah. And 33 CE is the only year during this period in which Passover began on Thursday at sundown, allowing Yahshua to celebrate it with his disciples while at the same time being the Passover Lamb the following day, in harmony with Matthew’s, Mark’s, Luke’s, and John’s testimony. It is also a perfect match for Daniel’s Messianic prophecy. As mentioned previously, Luke (3:23) explains that Yahshua was around 30 when he began his ministry. The Renewed Covenant records Yahshua observing three Passovers during his ministry, and Daniel dates the last one to April 1st, 33 CE (confirmed in the "Ma’sehyah" chapter of Yada Yahweh’s Salvation volume). These dates correlate the time "a child was born, a son was given" to the fall observance of the seventh Miqra’, that of Tabernacles in the fall of 2 BCE. And all of this serves to confirm that the Greater Light was indeed manifest in our presence as a sign to us in mankind’s fourth millennia in accordance with the Miqra’/Mow’ed as they are prophesied in Exodus, Leviticus, and Genesis and confirmed in Matthew, Luke, and John. The Holy Scriptures says that Satan has not just deceived a few; they say that he has deceived the whole world. Since the whole world is most definitely deceived by Satan, will worldly teachings bring you eternal life? "When Abraham was told to sacrifice Isaac, Satan said,...... [In other words: "If you give me a son I'll kill him for you. Satan spearheads the war of evil against good—in the heavenlies and on earth. Exodus 20:13: 6th commandment: Do not kill. However, since he can be in only one place at a time (unlike Yahweh's Holy Spirit, as it is everywhere at once— Psalms 139:7), Yahweh has granted him permission to utilize a host of spiritual beings to do his work. Evil spiritual entities are quite real, initially created to be officials of good (as was/Satan) but which were deceived by Satan (just as we are deceived by him) to turn away from good and to embrace evil instead. Thus, his kingdom is one in which internal corruption and lust for personal gain among the fallen angels cause many of Satan’s plans and undertakings to fail, as these angels often do what they feel will benefit themselves with little regard for Satan or other evil angels. (This, of course, is common among humans as well.) Although I believe that demons generally have their own spirit "bodies," I suspect that some lower-ranking demons may not, which I also believe Satan sent one of his demons to tell Abraham to kill his son Issac. They may need to inhabit (possess) the bodies of humans or animals to be "complete" or to gratify fully their base, depraved obsessions and desires. Mark 5:2-5,11-13, 9:17,18,20,26. Some demons presently may not be able to escape the earthly realm at all—"grounded" spirits, as it were—being completely restricted to activity in the world (Matthew 12:43) and having no access to heaven. Demons commonly and loosely are ascribed the term, "evil spirits," although all bad angels and demons, in fact, are evil spirits. Moses indicated that some of the children of Israel "...sacrificed to demons..." (Deuteronomy 32:17). This was because they "...forgot Yahweh who gave [them] birth" (32:18). David said, "They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to demons" (Psalms 106:37).

Gender: Masculine Usage: Sepher=Book OT & NT Other Scripts: צָדוֹק (Hebrew) Zadok Means "righteous" in Hebrew. This is the name of several characters in the Old Testament, most notably the high priest of Israel during the reigns of David and Solomon. Solomon was anointed by Zadok. From this time Zadok was unwavering… The history is in 1 Kings. From the time Zadok was chosen, he was unwavering …in his loyalty to David… Why to David? Because David was Yahweh's anointed. He was loyal because David was Yahweh's anointed and Yahshua inherited the throne of David. Samuel was the one who trained Zadok and they worked together in that area and brought forth righteous people in The House of Yahweh at Abel. That Work continued in Abel and continued to grow. The priesthood of Zadok is also charged with responsibility over the future temple NOT ON EARTH. Ezekiel 40:46. THE 144,000. The Zadok priesthood was the only true order of priests that should keep charge of the temple altar. And that they would one day minister to YAHWEH Himself in the future Kingdom AS Yahshua is the Way! TO YAHWEH!...Read Exodus 19:5-6 & 2 Peter 2:5-9 & Revelation 1:4-7.

"Serve YAHWEH with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you perish from the way." Blessed is he who put his trust in YAHWEH. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him. In the Tanakh, Psalm 2:11-12 says: "Do homage in purity (nash-ku bar) lest He be angry and you perish." The meaning of the Hebrew word bar is pure or clear. Yes, in Aramaic, the word bar does mean son, but it's used only as a combination of two words-"son of." If in Aramaic, the author wanted to mean just the son, he would have used the phrase ber'a with the letter alef at the end. By simply leaving off one Aramaic word, the entire verse is altered. [And Yahweh] said, "Surely they are my people, sons who will not be false to Me"; and so He became their Savior. In all their distress, he too was distressed, and the angel of His presence saved them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old Isaiah 63:8,9. The "angel of His presence" can be none other than the "Archangel (Michael) of Yahweh," who became Israel’s (and the world’s) Savior and Redeemer. The Messiah Yahshua aptly stated, "Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined..." Matthew 12:25. We can fully depend upon Yahweh, Who inspired His Scriptures to be written, to bring anyone that obeys what He says through His Holy Scriptures to eternal life. It is very easy to prove the reliability of Yahweh's Word, but, what about the changes which have been made in today's translations of the Bible? What will you do about the mistranslations, the additions, and the deletions of the original Holy Scriptures when the facts of the truth are brought to you? Yahweh's Covenant between Himself and mankind, in a nutshell, is this: Mankind promises to obey each and every word that has proceeded out of the mouth of Yahweh, which is written in His inspired Holy Scriptures, then Yahweh promises to take them for His own, and to be their Heavenly Father. Yahweh, most assuredly, warned His people what would befall them if they ever turned from Him in order to serve GODS and LORDS, saying in: Deuteronomy 30:17-20__But if your heart turns away, and you are not obedient, and you are drawn away to bow down and worship gods (baals), and serve them; I declare to you this day that you will surely perish; you will not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Yardan to possess. I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Because you are free agents to make your own choice between righteousness and evil-therefore choose life, so both you and your children may live; So you may love Yahweh your Father, by listening to Him, and then obeying Him. Hold fast to Him, for He is your life. He will also give you many years in the land He vowed to give to your fathers; to Abraham, Isaac, and Yaaqob. Yahweh WARNED His people against the worship of GODS; warning them that IF they did such things, punishment would come. This LIE of causing the people in this world to forget HIS NAME will also continue to be in effect in the vast majority of the people in this world until the Second Coming of Yahshua. We also find that until that time the people will continue to call Yahweh by the NAMES OF BAALIM__LORD, God, El, Elohim. We find this in: Hosheyah 2:13-17.

The Hebrew word משיח (mashiyah/mah-shee-yah- where the "ah" is pronounced hard as in the name YAH! - Strongs #4899) is usually transliterated as Messiah. Let us first examine how this word is transliterated and translated. In the Tenach/Old Testament this word is usually translated in the Aramaic & Hebrew as "Anointed One" and transliterated as "Messiah".
For the Father has affection for the Son and shows him all the things He Himself does, and He will show him works greater than these, in order that YOU may marvel. For just as the Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes those alive whom he wants to. For the Father judges no one at all, but He has committed all the judging to the Son, in order that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He that does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. Most truly I say to YOU, He that hears my word and believes him that sent me has everlasting life, and he does not come into judgment but has passed over from death to life. "Most truly I say to YOU, The hour is coming, and it is now, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of YAHWEH and those who have given heed will live. For just as the Father Has life in Himself, so He Has granted also to the Son to have life in himself. And He Has given him authority to do the judging, because Son of man he is. John 5:20-27. Exalt YAHWEH our Elohim, and Worship at His (the earth) footstool; for He is Holy. Psalms 99:5. do not worship the Son, John 14:6, still those who make it and that are raised by Yahshua will still Worship Abba Father even during Yahshua's 1,000 year reign! Rejoice in YAHWEH always: and again I say, Rejoice! Let Your reasonableness become known to all mankind. The Master is at hand. Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let Your requests be made known unto YAHWEH. And the peace of YAHWEH that excels all thought will guard Your hearts and minds through the Messiah Yahshua. Philippians 4:4-7. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with YAHWEH as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2 Peter 3:8. So judgement can be one day! RELY ON YAHWEH!~through the Messiah Yahshua & his teachings of his Abba! AND REPENT! 1.The Father and the Son work together as one. 2.The Father loves the Son. 3.The Father works in and through the Son. 4.The Father and the Son raise up the dead and give them life. 5.The Father shares His honor with the Son by appointing the Son judge. "This is my beloved Son." Matthew 3: 17. "I and the Father are one." John 10:30. First is the fact that wherever the Father is at work, so also is the Son of YAHWEH: "Whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise." Michael/Yahshua who is like El. The apostle Paul wrote: "And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Master Yahshua, giving thanks to YAHWEH the Father through him" (Colossians 3:17). To do a thing "in the name of the Messiah" means to do it by his authority given to him by his Father for he came in his Father's Name.

"But we see Yahshua, Who was made a little lower than the angels. ... Scripture is clear that man was "created lower than the angels" in Psalm 8:5. YAHWEH also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and in divers places, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will? For unto the angels he has not put in subjection the world to come, where of we speak. But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the Son of Man, that thou visited him? Thou created him a little lower than the angels; thou crowned him with glory and honour, and did set him over the works of thy hands: Thou has put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. But we see Yahshua, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the favour of YAHWEH, that he should taste death for every man. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the chief corner of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both he that sanctified and they who are set apart are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the assembly will I sing praise unto thee. And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which YAHWHH has given me. Hebrews 2:4-8.

And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which YAHWEH has given me. 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; And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to YAHWEH, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. For in that he himself (Yahshua) has suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted. Hebrews 2:13-8.

Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; And looking upon Yahshua as he walked, he said, Behold the Lamb of YAHWEH! Yahshua answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. And he said again unto Nathanael, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of YAHWEH ascending and descending upon the Son of man. John 1:35,36,50,51.

And I saw in the right hand of Him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, look, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of YAHWEH sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne. Revelation 5:1-7.

Not only was Michael the archangel speaking to Moshe in the burning bush, but let's look at the return of Yahshua as he calls out with the voice of the archangel Michael? "For Yahshua himself shall descend from heaven with a shout [command], with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of YAHWEH: and the dead in the Messiah shall rise first:" (1 Thessalonians 4:16) So the archangel, whom we see in Jude as also Michael, calls the dead to life. Only one person has been given that authority. "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of YAHWEH: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father has life in Himself; so has He given to the Son to have life in himself; And has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, and come out, (Who CAME OUT OF HER)? those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment. (John 5:25-29) "Yahshua said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:" (John 11:25) "I [Yahshua] am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell [the grave] and of death." Revelation 1:18.

WHAT WAS THE SIGN OF JONAH? Then certain of the scribes and of the pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee. But he answered and said unto them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonah: for as Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men of Ninevah shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and behold, a greater than Jonah is here. The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and , behold, a greater than Solomon is here. Matthew 12:38-42. Just as Jonah was three days and nights in the belly of the whale, so the Son of man, Yahshua, would be three days and nights in the heart of the earth. Yahshua was telling them, that the vindicating sign they are looking for, is this. After his death, he would stay in the 'heart of the earth', or the grave (She'ol), for three days and three nights. After that period, he would come out ALIVE. He is telling them the precise time that he will be resurrected from the dead. This time period of three days was important for another prophetic reason. In Psalm 16:10, it states, "Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One (Messiah) to see corruption". It was a common belief among the Jews, that after death, the corruption of the body began to occur after three days. So by stating his resurrection would take place on the third day, he is telling the leaders that he will not 'see corruption', as the psalmist had prophcised. An excellent illustration of this is found in John 5:26. "For as the Father has life in Himself; so has He given to the Son to have life in himself".

Abraham could have looked at himself as the butt of the biggest cosmic joke of all time. He could have seen this command to kill his son as the bitterest twist of fate, the cruelest irony ever imposed upon a man. Or he could have imagined that this request of Yah was not Yah's request at all, but rather the voice of the enemy Satan disguised as Yah’s voice. "After all," Abraham could have reasoned, "Yahweh would not want me to kill Isaac. He’s the one that promised him to us and made it happen. It is the devil who seeks to kill and destroy." Abraham could have leaned to his own understanding. He could have argued with Yahweh and said, "Please, I don’t get it. I believed You to leave my country and to come into a strange hostile land. I believed Your promises about how You would give this land to me and my heirs. I believed You for the gift of Isaac’s birth. And now You want him to die? Your word is at stake here, Master. If I obey You and kill him, then I will not have an heir to inherit the land that You promised to me. Surely You don’t mean for me to take Isaac’s life! That would block you own plan from coming to pass! You are the one who said it, who promised it! You can’t mean this!" If there had been any shred of doubt about Yahweh in his heart, then he surely would have harbored thoughts similar to these. Abraham said in his heart, "Although heartbreaking, I am going to obey Him, for I know that He will raise Isaac from the dead. For Yah has already promised that it will be in Isaac that my seed will be called. So Yah has to raise him from the dead. I may not fully comprehend His purpose in all of this, but I don’t have to. He has a reason why He is having me sacrifice Isaac. But I know that He will raise him from the dead, for His word is good and cannot be broken. Isaac will be my heir, and if he dies by the edge of my blade, then Yahweh will raise him from the dead! "So we see that Abraham believed in the ultimate thing that anyone can believe in: the resurrection. That is the faith/belief of our father Abraham. His trust in Yahweh was so complete that he knew without a doubt that if Yahweh wanted Isaac dead at that particular point in time for some reason, then He would raise him up, still he did not question. That is the faith that pleases Yah. And through this kind of faith/belief Yahweh will count us right with Him along with our father of the faith, Abraham. It was ultimately Abraham’s belief in the Savior’s resurrection that anchored his walk with Yah-Is-Savior.

For instance lets take a look at Job also: There is a rebuke [here] for any person who, by complaining about particular events in his life, implies that he could propose to Yahweh better ways of running the universe than those Yahweh currently uses. Men are eager to use force to combat evil and in their impatience they wish the Almighty would do the same more often. But by such destructive acts men do and become evil. To behave and obey as Yahweh suggests in Job 40:8-14, Job would not only usurp the role of Yahweh, he would become another Satan. Only Yahweh can destroy creatively. Only Yahweh can transmute evil into good. As Creator, responsible for all that happens in heaven and on earth and what He will allow Satan to do. He is able to make everything (good and bad) work together into good. The reality of Yahweh's goodness lies beyond human justice. This is why the categories of guilt and punishment, true and terrible though they are, can only view human suffering as a consequence of sin, not as an occasion of grace. Obsession with our own rightness reduces the Almighty to our level and robs us of the opportunity to experience the fullness of His grace. Yahweh challenges in verse 10. "Overcome the proud and the wicked," If Job can pull off those accomplishments then Yahweh will listen to him. In fact, verse 14 points out that if Job can do such things then he can save himself. If Job were Yahweh he wouldn’t need Him. Our own need of Yahweh should be adequate confirmation of the fact that we are not Him and cannot fulfill Yahweh's role in our lives no matter how hard we try nor how much we want to do it. Knowingly, Knowing that He will provide, YAHWEH YIREH!

Before going any further, it might be wise for us to do a quick refresher teaching about what Yahweh can and cannot do, and what Satan can and cannot do. Using the Holy Scriptures (The Old and New Testament) as our source of insight and light, we are told that Yahweh cannot tempt us: Let no one say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by YAHWEH;" for YAHWEH cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone. But each one is tempted by being drawn out and enticed by his own desire. Then the desire, when it has become fertile, gives birth to sin; in turn, sin, when it has been accomplished, brings forth death. Do not be misled, Do not err, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect present is from above, for it comes down from the Father of lights, and with Him there is not a variation of the turning of the shadow. Because He willed it, He brought us forth by the word of truth, for us to be certain firstfruits of His creatures. James 1:13-18. If then it is impossible for Yahweh to tempt us, then there are only two other places temptation can come from. (1): Satan (2): Our flesh We should know from these two passages of scripture that Satan, or the devil, is called the "tempter": Now when the tempter came to him (Yahshua), he said, "If you are the Son of Elohim, command that these stones become bread." Matthew 4:3. For this reason, when I could no longer endure it, I sent to know your faith, least by some means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor be in vain. 1 Thessalonians 3:5. Thus it is vitally important to know and believe that it is Satan, not Elohim YAHWEH, who tempts us to sin. Never YAHWEH!. Yet at times, there can be more to temptation than just the devil doing it. James 1:14 finishes a very important fact linked to the previous verse of James 1:13: But each is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed. However, I believe an important issue with mankind should be made regarding the topic being addressed here. I’m not convinced our flesh is tempting us when we begin to "feel" like YAHWEH has let us down. I believe it is the tempter himself behind it. Satan is launching an all-out attack on us, and if we don’t believe it’s him behind it ......Satan’s attack against us has much better odds of winning a victory for him. The devil will see to it! Trying to get us to "feel" like YAHWEH has let us down is the initial thrust of Satan’s attack against us that is why many people blame YAHWEH for the goings on in the world, instead of realizing Satan gains no victory in us . . . until we actually begin to believe that YAHWEH has let us down. Once we make the transition from "feeling" to believing that YAHWEH has let us down ------- we are walking in a very dangerous minefield! Once we begin walking in this dangerous minefield and setting off mines, we find our confidence in YAHWEH to answer our prayers begins to diminish. Our intense desire to feast on YAHWEH'S Word diminishes. Our intense hope to be a vessel of Him to minister to others decreases. In a nutshell, rather than walking in the intimacy that is so important to maintain in our relationship with YAHWEH – coldness and dullness of spirit begins and ultimately we can become prideful "separated from YAHWEH in our heart," yet tell everyone around us and even ourselves that we are not, in an attempt to keep our pain and frustration buried. We can be so thankful to YAHWEH for giving us the Book of Job to gain some very clear insight into what can be going on in the spiritual realm (behind the scenes) when we are suffering. (If you’ve never read the book of Job, I would highly encourage you to read it in its entirety). Do you suppose that Job ever "felt" like YAHWEH let him down as Satan was launching his vicious attack against Job? When you’re doing all you know to do to be pleasing to YAHWEH, and your world seems to be drastically falling apart … yes - I’ve got to believe there was some major temptation going on inside of Job to "feel" like YAHWEH had let him down, it wasn't YAHWEH who was tempting him, still Job didn't back down and was given all back and then some for his faith, love, and trust in Yahweh! Job 2:10. Romans 8:28 is where that promise is found: And we know that all things work together for good to those who love YAHWEH, to those who are the called according to His purpose. Every temptation you and I will ever be tempted with … Yahshua was tempted with also. Yahshua the Messiah could never have been the perfect, acceptable sacrifice for the sins of the world if you or I experience a temptation from Satan that Yahshua was exempted from. To do so would be grounds for calling YAHWEH a liar, which is blasphemy. Hebrews 4:15 says: For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in ALL points tempted as we are, yet without sin. All means exactly that: ALL! What are we assured of in this life if we don’t quit believing in the Messiha Yahshua? Salvation, right? Doesn’t that speak of eternity? Citizenship in heaven? The Judgment Day? (Reward day for the holy ones). The book of Hebrews in its entirety, and especially the 11th Chapter, assures us that those of the faith listed there did not receive their reward for their faithfulness to YAHWEH here on earth. In fact, their full reward is yet awaiting them in heaven in the future, YAHWEH'S firstfruits that were given to His Son for his submission unto his Father. And all these (listed Old Testament of the faith), They were stoned, they were tried, tempted sawn asunder, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; while they were in want, in tribulation, under ill-treatment, afflicted, tormented; (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: As YAHWEH foresaw something better for us, in order that they might not be made perfect apart from us. (complete; spiritually mature), "apart from us." (Hebrews 11:37-40). Precious one … don’t ever allow the devil to trick you into thinking that YAHWEH has obligated Himself to reward you to the fullest for your faithfulness to Him in this life, when in fact He never rewarded Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Sarah, Esau, Joseph, Moses’ parents, Moses, Joshua, Rahab, Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, and Samuel to the fullest … not to mention those of faith in the New Testament. YAHWEH does reward us with love, peace, comfort and hope for our faithfulness to Him in this life, sure. Has their giving of faith in Father and Son gone unnoticed and unrewarded by YAHWEH? Of course not. Their reward is simply being delayed and stored up for eternity.

Thus, the "son" that is given to Israel is the Son of the only Most High Yahweh. Genesis 14:22; 2 Samuel 22:14; Psalm 7:17; 18:13; 47:2; 83:18; 97:9. And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread, and wear our own apparel: only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach. In that day shall the branch the Messiah of YAHWEH be for a decoration and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remains in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: When YAHWEH shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the Spirit of judgment, and by the Spirit of Fire. And YAHWEH will create upon every dwelling place of mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence. And there shall be a tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge, and for a covert from storm and from rain. Isaiah 4:1-6; 9:6.

Regarding Mary's virginity, the term brothers or bretheren is an English interpretation of Greek that came from a society that spoke Aramaic and Hebrew. Terms used in our English bibles should be seen in light of the society they came out of. There is no common word used in Aramaic or Hebrew that meant cousin, so it is easy to see how brother or bretheren was used instead. Also, we use the same term for those who are brothers in the faith, yet are not "blood brothers". Second, the words used in Matthew that are quoted, "And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son", when you see their true meaning in light of the languages they came from (Hebrew and Aramaic), and not the Greek, they do not mean Joseph had any relations with Mary after Yahshua' birth. "Knew her not till" is used to prove Yahshua, in that he had no earthly father and that Mary was truly a virgin, it has nothing to do with any sexual relations after his birth. The term "firstborn" is applied to all male children who are the firstborn in the family of the Jew. It does not imply more kids after. The designation is for inheritance purposes as the firstborn has first rights to inheritance. Even an only child would be a "firstborn". The fact that the Scriptures speak of the brothers of the Messiah in fact does mean his kin on Mary's or Joseph's side of the family yet we are never explicitly told which side the kin comes from. The brothers and sisters listed in the gospels are said to be James, Joses, Simon, and Salome. Yet when we read that it was Mary the wife of Cleopas that was the mother of James and Joses and Salome, we can see that the Mary being spoken of is not the mother of the Messiah. In fact at the foot of the stake when we compare gospel accounts we see that Yahshua' mother Mary and her sister, Mary the wife of Cleopas, and Mary Magadalene were all present. Mary the wife of Cleopas was also known as "the other Mary" spoken of in the gospels. It was her children listed as the Messiah' brothers and sisters. Finally, every time Yahshua' mother was listed in the gospels she called just that. So we know that "Mary the wife of Cleopas" was not Mary the mother of the Messiah. The Scriptures are not definitive enough to say Yahshua had blood brothers, nor is it definitive enough to say he didn't with 100% assurity. I believe the evidence when interpreted in by the RuachHaKodesh Holy Spirit of Yahweh in light of the assembly and Tradition and the society the Scriptures came from point clearly in the direction of Mary's continued virginity even after Yahshua' birth.

There is no reason to add to and read into the scriptures that the Son of Yahweh is Yahweh of whom he is the Son. ARAMAIC GLOSSARY : Abba - Father (Head) But I would have you know, that the head of every man is the Messiah; and the head of the woman is the man; and the Head of the Messiah is YAHWEH. 1 Corinthians 11:3. Ba - (Ab). The Great Father - Abba. That mankind may know that YOU, whose Name Alone is YAHWEH, art the Most High over all the earth. Psalms 83:18. Bhir, Bhira - Elect, chosen. Bukra - Firstborn. And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name Yahshua. Matthew 1:25. This one will be great, and will be called the Son of the Most High. [Yahweh] will give to him the throne of his father, David. Luke 1:32. "[ Yahshua said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is Greater than I." And this is everlasting life, that they know thee, the only true Elohim, and Yahshua the Messiah, whom thou has sent. John 14:28; 17:3.

MELCHIZEDEK IS THE SON OF YAHWEH HAVING NO BEGINNING AND NO END..AND NO GENEALOGY.......YAHSHUA IS A PRIEST "FOREVER"!! AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK!

And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of El-Elyon*. And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of El-Elyon, possessor of heaven and earth: And blessed be El-Elyon, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. Genesis 14:18-20.

For the bread of Elohim is he which cometh down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. Then said they unto him, Rabbi, evermore give us this bread. And Yahshua said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst. But I said unto you, That ye also have seen me, and believe not. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no way cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. The Jews then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which came down from heaven. And they said, Is not this Yahshua, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how is it then that he saith, I came down from heaven? Yahshua therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves. No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of YHWH. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of YHWH, he hath seen the Father. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. I am that bread of life.

Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Then Yahshua said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever. These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? When Yahshua knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Does this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Yahshua knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Yahshua unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Kepha answered him, Rabbi, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art the Messiah, the Son of the living Elohim. John 6:33-69

For YHWH thy Elohim bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless YHWH thy Elohim for the good land which he hath given thee. Beware that thou forget not YHWH thy Elohim, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: Deuteronomy 8:7-11.

Many people assume from their experience with "communion" that wine is the proper liquid to represent the memorial shedding of the Savior's blood at Passover. But was it wine that was in the Passover cup? There was once a group that could not decide, so they offered both wine and grape juice at the Passover memorial. Are we not commanded to discern what is right and proper from what is not? According to 1 Kings 18:21, And EliYah came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? if YHWH be Elohim, follow him: but if the Baal, then follow him. And the people answered him not a word. we are. Have you ever investigated the meaning of the Passover cup and its symbolic contents? Life in the Blood ~ A basic principle in the Bible is that the only possible atonement for the act of sin is a giving up of life. And the ONLY way we can be free of sin's death penalty, which we have all earned because of our sins, is through blood, which contains life, For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Leviticus 17:11.

Israel's sins were covered under an elaborate system of sacrifices in which animal blood was shed. That system gave way to a better sacrifice in the New Testament. Yahshua shed His blood on the torture stake as the perfect sacrifice. His blood paid the death penalty for our sins, just as the blood of animals was shed under the Old Covenant merely to cover Israel's sins (but not take them away). For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of the Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to Elohim, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living Elohim? And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Hebrews 9:13-15.

Contrary to what many believe, the principle of sacrifice remains, only now instead of animal sacrifice, it is the sacrifice of the Savior and the shedding of His blood that we trust in. What Represents Blood? Our Savior instituted a new symbol at that New Covenant Passover--the cup. This symbol represented the blood of the perfect Lamb, which was He Himself. The question is, what liquid represented His pure, sinless life? Wine? Grape juice? Water? Is there any way we can know? Yes, there is! Does it really matter? It certainly does, because one is right and proper, the rest are wrong and of no effect. So Yahshua came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. John 4:46. SOME say the cup should contain water, because Yahshua changed water into wine at Cana. They also opt for water in the cup because both blood and water came out of the Savior's side when He was pierced by the Roman soldier while on the stake. But the cup must symbolize blood. At best, John 4:46 shows only an association between water and wine, not water and blood.

The connection between the priesthood and purity stands behind the entire Rabbinic treatment of those two subjects: there is no priesthood without purity, and there is no service of Yahweh without the Temple and the offerings presented by that priesthood. The reason is simple. The oral Torah, represented by the Mishnah, sets forth a theory of the life of Israel that centres on the sanctification of Elohim's people, and that is meant in a concrete way. Sanctification being the goal, purity is a principal means toward that end. This is stated in so many words in an account of the place of purity and of sanctification on the scale of the Torah’s requirements which Yahshua observed. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see YHWH. Matthew 5:8. And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit: And she spoke out with a loud voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. Luke 1:41,42.

The fact that both water and blood issued from His pierced side proves nothing in relation to the Passover cup. If He had shed only water on the torture stake, then we could conceivably call water his shed "blood." But His blood is what saves us, not water. Therefore, we must find something other than water as the proper symbol for His blood. Grape Juice Analogous to Blood -The Old Testament never mentions a cup for Passover--only the lamb, unleavened bread, and bitter herbs. You might be wondering, but what about the drink offering? The drink offering used in regular Old Testament sacrifices comes from the Hebrew word "nacak," and it means to pour out. Although called a "drink" offering because it was liquid, it was not drunk but always "poured out" at the altar. Paul wrote to Timothy that he was ready to be offered (Greek "spendomai," poured out like a drink offering") at the end of his ministry. The drink offering, therefore, can give us no clue as to the contents of the cup that was drunk in the New Covenant Passover service. An important indication of the cup's contents, however, is found in the Hebrew word for blood, "dam." Strong's Exhaustive Concordance Hebrew Dictionary defines "dam" or blood: "(as that which when shed causes death) of man or an animal; by anal. the juice of the grape; fig. (especially in the plur.) bloodshed(i.e. drops of blood)."

The problem with baptismal regeneration (the belief that baptism is part of salvation and necessary for it) is that it contradicts other scriptures that state we are justified by faith. Justification is Elohim's declaration upon a sinner that the person is declared righteous in Yahweh's site. Please consider the following verses: For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed YHWH, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with YHWH through our Saviour Yahshua the Messiah: Romans 4:3; 5:1. And the scripture, foreseeing that YHWH would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the glad tidings unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. Galatians 3:8. And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of the Messiah, the righteousness which is of YHWH by faith: Philippians 3:9. For by favour are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of YHWH: Ephesians 2:8. See also John 5:24; Romans 4:5; 9:30; Galatians 2:16; 3:11-14.

‘Wine’ Never Used for ‘Cup’ ~ Both Yahshua and Paul referred to the Passover beverage simply as "cup" or "fruit of the vine." They NEVER used "wine" in referring to the cup. Fermented wine is the Greek "oinos," used 28 times in the New Testament, but NEVER for the contents of the Passover cup. What we can deduce, then, is that "fruit of the Vine" properly represents His blood. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. Luke 22:20. I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. John 15:1-10.

But is that fruit of the vine fermented, or is it the pure, unadulterated juice of the grape? Had the New Testament writers used "gleukos," the other word for fermented wine (occurring one time in Acts 2:13. The meaning again should be clear. But just as they did not use "oinos" (fermented wine), neither did they employ "gleukos" in reference to the Passover cup. Why? Is there a reason they did not use "wine" when speaking of the Passover cup? Wine Symbolic of Retribution, Celebration. Let's look at the symbolic attributes of wine and see whether this substance would be appropriate for the solemn, redemptive Passover observance. In the prophetic Book of Revelation we find clear, symbolic meaning in wine. In 14:8 wine represents wrath unleashed for Babylon's fornication. Verse 10 reads, "The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of Elohim, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation..." Wine ("oinos") symbolizes the fierceness of Yahweh's wrath in Revelation 16:19. He calls it "wine of her [Babylon's] fornication" in 17:2. The use of wine ("oinos") in other parts of the New Testament is significant as well.

In the New Testament wine is used in celebration, during times of rejoicing. The first miracle Yahshua performed was to change water to wine at a wedding feast, John 2. It is a celebration drink. Upon Abraham's victorious return from battle with the kings, Genesis 14:17,18 ~ Melchizedek greeted him with bread and wine ("yayin"--a fermented drink). Similarly, in Deuteronomy 14:26 we find that wine is expressly used for REJOICING at Yahweh's joyous Feasts ("wine" here is the Greek "shekar," an intoxicant, but we are commanded against drunkenness, And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Ephesians 5:18. Wine, therefore, would be inappropriate for the solemn, deadly SERIOUS and even frightening observance of the Passover (recall that the death angel struck absolute FEAR into the hearts of Israel). Paul chastized the once pagan Corinthian Assembly for coming together at Passover to gorge themselves on food and drink. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of Yahshua, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of Yahshua. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. He showed in 1 Corinthians 11:27,28 that the Passover was a solemn occasion and not a festive time. It is a time for sober introspection, v. 28.

Wine at the Passover would be inappropriate in light of what Paul was teaching about sobriety and humility at Passover. Both wine (yayin) and "strong drink" were expressly forbidden during worship services, "that you may put difference between holy and unholy, between clean and unclean." This was a statute Yahweh gave forever, for "all generations" Leviticus 10:9-11. Under the New Covenant, an elder is not to be "given to wine," 1 Timothy 3:3. Intoxicants simply have no place in a worship setting. Wine: Chemically Altered and Leavened. Wine is not a firstfruit of the grape. It is a byproduct. Wine is produced when yeast, a leavening agent, acts on the sugar molecule of fruit juice to produce ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide. Wine, then, is juice that has been chemically changed into something different. It is not the original, pure fruit of the vine, but a secondary byproduct. As a symbol for the pure, uncorrupted, sinless blood of Yahshua, a modified substance like wine would be inadequate. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of the Messiah? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of the Messiah? 1 Corinthians 10:16.

More importantly, wine has been leavened in the same way bread is leavened by yeast. The Passover was to be eaten only with unleavened bread, Exodus 12:8. Nothing leavened was to be used at the Passover Memorial. Unleavened bread represents Yahshua's body unchanged by the corruption of sin, Mark 14:22. Similarly, the cup represents His pure blood, untainted by outside influences of the sinful world. Would a chemically altered drink like wine best represent His pure, unadulterated blood, or would the virgin juice from the grape? Blood of the Grape ~ Biblically, the symbolism between blood and the pure juice of the grape is unmistakable. In Genesis 49:11 we find a reference to the "blood of grapes." A citation to drinking the "pure blood of the grape" is found in Deuteronomy 32:14. Isaiah 63:1 speaks prophetically of the returning Messiah Yahshua, who comes from Edom ("red") with dyed garments (red from blood) from Bozrah (meaning "vintage"--the yield of grapes from a grape crop). Verse 2 reads, "Wherefore are you red in your apparel, and your garments like him that treads in the winefat?" "Winefat" is the Hebrew "gath," which means to tread out grapes. It is not "yekeb," which would be a wine-vat or a container storing wine.

"I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with Me: for I will tread them in Mine anger and trample them in My fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garment, and I will stain all My raiment," Isaiah 63:3. "Winepress" is a misnomer. It is in fact a trough for squeezing grape juice, with a drain at one lower end. The grapes were pressed down and the juice flowed out the drain. Here, the juice that flows from the grapes is equated with the blood of those whom Yahshua will destroy when He returns. Their blood is equated with the "blood of the grape"--grape juice. The analogy is complete, And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress, even unto the horse bridles, by the space of a thousand and six hundred furlongs. Revelation 14:20, where "blood came out of the winepress." "Blood" here is the Greek "haima," and according to Strong's Concordance Greek Dictionary means: "Blood, lit. (of men or animals), fig. (the juice of grapes) or spec. (the atoning blood of [Messiah])."

Savior as a Firstfruits ~ Yahshua is the firstfruit sacrifice for man, But now is the Messiah risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 1 Corinthians 15:20. The people were to offer the firstfruits of their produce to the priests, Deuteronomy 18:4--"...the firstfruit also of your corn, of your wine..." "Wine" here is "tirosh." For more uses of "tirosh" as freshly pressed juice of the winepress, see 2 Chronicles 31:4-5 and Nehemiah 10:37-39; 13:5, 12. Just as the winepress is really a giant grape juice press, so wine is also used metaphorically for grapes. "As the new wine [Heb. "tirosh," fresh grape juice] is found in the cluster..." Isaiah 65:8. We don’t find wine in a cluster, but we do find grapes that way. "New wine" signifies the best--that juice which squeezes out by the sheer weight of the grapes in the winepress, before the treading. Thus, it is the firstfruits of the grape batch.

Yahshua is called the firstfruit of the dead, and the true vine. This pure firstfruit can only equate with the first of the freshly squeezed grape juice, not with a byproduct or wine, adulterated through chemical change. Pure, unadulterated juice is the only proper symbol of the pure, saving blood of Yahshua the Messiah in the Passover. Grape juice is the only symbol that fits all the criteria and offers the only symbolism that is unique to His pure, precious blood. Paul tells us that the Savior represents the first of the harvest: in 1 Corinthians 15:20. Firstfruits offerings were commanded of Israel in Deuteronomy 18:4: "The firstfruit also of your corn, of your wine, and of your oil..." "Wine" here is the Hebrew "tirosh," meaning freshly pressed juice. (see 2 Chronicles 31:4-5; Nehemiah 10:37-39; 13:5, 12. Yahshua is actually the first of the firstfruits, 1 Corinthians 15:23, and the true vine, John 15:1. This pure Firsfruit can only equate with the first of the freshly squeezed grape juice, not with the byproduct known as wine, which has been mixed with yeast spores and changed through aging and chemical action.

Can Grape Juice Be Preserved? Some years ago a number of wine producers and processors of grape juice were contacted with the question, "Could grape juice have been preserved in the Holy Land 2,000 years ago from the fall of the year until early spring?" The response was equally divided. Those producing wine expressed doubts that grape juice could be preserved. Those producing grape juice stated it was possible even under primitive conditions, to do so. Furthermore, grapes in Israel had a high content of sugar, which was an advantage in preservation, some pointed out. The Living Bible Encyclopedia in Story and Pictures explains how grape juice could be preserved: "The means for preserving grape juice were well known. Kato (De Agri Cultura CXX) has this recipe: ‘If you wish to have must [grape juice] all year, put grape juice in an amphora and seal the cork with pitch. Sink it in a fish pond. After 30 days take it out. It will be grape juice for a whole year’" (vol. 16, pp. 2088-2089). Another method of preserving grape juice was to concentrate the juice by boiling it into a syrup. Stored in a cool place, this concentrate would not ferment. Adding water later yielded a sweet, unfermented grape juice. This was common in ancient times. Still another way to have grape juice all year was to finely chop raisins, which are dried grapes--and then add water to produce the reconstituted juice.

Yahshua Kept His Promise ~ As Yahshua was participating in His memorial with His disciples, He said: "Drink you all of it; for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom" Matthew 26:27-29. About to die, Yahshua said He would not drink of the "fruit of the vine" until He was with them in the Kingdom. If the Passover cup contained wine, as some allege, then He broke that promise. Why is that? Simply this: John 19:28-29 reveals that Yahshua's thirst was satisfied when on the tree they gave Him "vinegar" ("oxos" in Greek), which is described as an inferior, common wine drunk by soldiers and laborers. (The Complete Biblical Library) "When Yahshua therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the Spirit" John 19:30. Yahshua had refused the wine ("oxos") four times, but just before His death He did receive the wine. Had the previous Passover cup contained wine instead of "fruit of the vine" (grape juice), He would have broken His word not to drink of it again after the Passover and before the Kingdom. Grape juice had to have been in the Passover cup. Pure, unadulterated "blood of the grape" is the only proper symbol for the pure, saving blood of Yahshua the Messiah in the Passover.

I will cry unto Elohim Most High; unto El that performeth all things for me. YHWH hath sworn, and will not feel regret, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. YHWH at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath. He shall judge among the heathen, he shall fill the places with the dead bodies; he shall wound the heads over many countries. He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up the head. Psalm 57:2; 110:4-7.

We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the favour of YHWH in vain. (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of Elohim, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by love unfeigned, By the word of truth, by the power of Elohim, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged. Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels. Now for a recompence in the same, (I speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged. Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath the Messiah with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of YHWH with idols? for ye are the temple of the living Elohim; as YHWH hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their Elohim, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith YHWH, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith YHWH the Almighty. 2 Corinthians 6:1-18.
