Vayikra (And He Called)

VAYIKRA (And He Called) Leviticus 1:1–5:26; Isaiah 43:21 - 44:23; Hebrews 9:1–28 “The L-rd called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting.” (Lev 1:1) וַיִּקְרָא אֶל־מֹשֶׁה וַיְדַבֵּר יְהוָה אֵלָיו מֵאֹהֶל מוֹעֵד

JOIN ME LIVE ON SUNDAY NIGHTS @ 7PM Eastern time here 

Last week, Parasha Pekudei was the final Torah portion in the book of Exodus. This Shabbat, we begin studying the Book of Leviticus.  In Hebrew, Leviticus is called Vayikra after its opening word וַיִּקְרָא, which means and He called.

It can be stated with confidence that the book of Vayikra/Leviticus is one of the most important books in the entire Bible! From a Jewish perspective, the book of Leviticus is among the first books studied by a Jewish child. The significance of this book is found within these highly detailed directives where we discover the holiness, the separateness, the distinction, and the utter “otherness” of G-d. We also learn how sin devastates humanity’s relationship with their Creator. We also learn of G-d’s great mercy providing a way to draw near to Him in the sacrifice of atonement. In the opening chapters of the book of Vayikra/Leviticus, it is important to understand to whom this book was written!

This book was written to a covenant people, to those who have joined themselves to the L-rd G-d of Israel, and who by faith have entered into a covenant agreement with G-d. The important point is that salvation was a matter of entering into the covenant of G-d and the khatat korban (קָרְבַּן חַטָּאת, sin offering) was not meant to earn a man’s way into the covenant of G-d or to earn one’s salvation. The covenant of G-d was entered into by faith. Our being in a covenant relationship with G-d and being a covenant people, we are told how we are to live our lives and how we are to approach the L-rd G-d Almighty.

The overall message of Leviticus is sanctification. This book communicates a message of receiving G-d’s forgiveness and acceptance to the one who comes before Him seeking these things according to His Word. One goes before G-d in Teshuvah (Repentance) and what follows is holy living and spiritual growth. Because Israel has been delivered from bondage, brought to the mountain of G-d, enter into a covenant relationship with G-d by faith, they are then purified into a people worthy of their G-d. This is how Moshe describes G-d’s people according to Vayikra 19:2 “You shall be holy, for I the L-rd your G-d am holy.” 

This fantastic book on the grace [חסד chesed H2617] and love אהבה ahavah H157] of G-d details for us how the L-rd G-d יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים of Israel wants to be approached, but we must do so on His terms. 

What we are being provided here in the opening chapters of the Torah is related to the theme of the holiness of G-d’s people. When we study the Apostolic Writings, we see these themes of holiness being extended to G-d’s people today. The Apostle Peter in 1 Peter 1:15-16 cites Vayikra 19:2 when he states “like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, ‘You shall be holy, for I am holy.’” דַּבֵּר אֶל־כָּל־עֲדַת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם קְדֹשִׁים תִּהְיוּ כִּי קָדוֹשׁ אֲנִי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם

Notice how this is consistent with the Torah in the sense that those who are redeemed by the grace of G-d offer sacrifices unto G-d. Sha’ul wrote one example may be that we offer our bodies as living sacrifices unto G-d. (Romans 12:1) According to the Apostolic Writings, Yeshua offered himself as the perfect sacrifice on our behalf, taking the punishment we deserved, just as we see in the animal sacrifices according to the book of Leviticus. The people of the day placed their trust in G-d and their faith in the sacrifice of atonement. Today we place our trust in G-d and our faith in the sacrifice of atonement, Yeshua the Messiah.

Placing our faith [אמונה emunah] in G-d’s Messiah we enter into a covenant relationship and become G-d’s children. As His children He wants us to reflect His character. He sanctifies us much like he did the nation of Israel as is being described here in the text. In a sense, the sacrifices were a foreshadow of Yeshua the Messiah. They direct us to what was to come, a future expectation of G-d’s chosen one. 

The Relevance of Offerings                                                                                                     “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When any man of you brings an offering to the L-RD, you shall bring your offering of animals from the herd or the flock.  דַּבֵּר אֶל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל וְאָמַרְתָּ אֲלֵהֶם אָדָם כִּֽי־יַקְרִיב מִכֶּם קָרְבָּן לַֽיהוָה מִן־הַבְּהֵמָה מִן־הַבָּקָר וּמִן־הַצֹּאן תַּקְרִיבוּ אֶת־קָרְבַּנְכֶֽם (Leviticus 1:2)

"If his offering is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer it, a male without defect; he shall offer it at the doorway of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted before the L-RD.”  אִם־עֹלָה קָרְבָּנוֹ מִן־הַבָּקָר זָכָר תָּמִים יַקְרִיבֶנּוּ אֶל־פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מוֹעֵד יַקְרִיב אֹתוֹ לִרְצֹנוֹ לִפְנֵי יְהוָֽה  (Leviticus 1:3)

The Torah portion, Vayikra, presents the laws of korbanot (קָרְבָּנוֹת offerings), including the korban olah (קָרְבַּן עוֹלָה) or burnt offerings. The Hebrew noun olah means goes up because the priest would burn the offerings on the wood of the altar, the aroma would go up to be accepted by the Lord. The Hebrew word korbanot comes from the root word k-r-v (קרב), which means to be close (karov).  The sacrifices, once accepted by G-d, restore closeness and intimacy between Him and His people.

It is our iniquities and sins that separate us from G-d and prevent us from establishing or maintaining a close relationship with Him. “But your iniquities have separated you from your G-d; your sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear.” (Isaiah 59:2)                                                                                 כִּי אִם־עֲוֺנֹֽתֵיכֶם הָיוּ מַבְדִּלִים בֵּינֵכֶם לְבֵין אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם וְחַטֹּֽאותֵיכֶם הִסְתִּירוּ פָנִים מִכֶּם מִשְּׁמֽוֹעַ

Although some New Covenant Believers consider the laws in Leviticus irrelevant and obsolete, they remain relevant and are indeed extremely important. For instance, without them we cannot grasp the concept of blood sacrifice to atone for sin. That core concept in G-d’s plan for redemption helps us rightly understand the sacrificial death of Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah. Attempting to understand Yeshua’s death on the Roman execution stake without comprehending the blood sacrifices is like trying to build a house without a foundation.  The home may last for a time but will not withstand the fierce storms without that solid base. Likewise, we must have a solid foundation in the Word of G-d to rightly understand the Word of G-d, as well as successfully navigate through the storms of life.

For some people, a guilty conscience over past sins causes them to be alienated from G-d, despite having received forgiveness. The blood sacrifice of Yeshua, however, was shed to restore us to right relationship with G-d and to completely cleanse us of any trace of a guilty conscience: “How much more will the blood of Messiah who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to G-d, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living G-d?” (Heb 9:14)

Despite this, some followers of Yeshua still struggle with guilt and condemnation, even though the Word of G-d promises that those who are in the Messiah are free: “There is therefore no condemnation to those in Yeshua the Messiah who do not walk in the flesh.”  (Romans 8:1) Just as the blood of the lamb had to be applied to the doorposts of our homes in Egypt, so must the blood of Yeshua be applied to our hearts, by faith, to wash us clean from every trace of guilty conscience and shame over our past sins. “Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.” (Hebrews 10:22) 

The pure waters refer to the mikvah, the ritual water immersion, which is symbolic of our new spiritual birth. Only when our hearts have been cleaned (sprinkled with the blood of Yeshua) and our bodies immersed in the mikvah, can we have this full assurance of faith that allows us to draw near to G-d. A guilty conscience over our past will separate us from intimacy with G-d, as well as with other Believers in the Body of Messiah. Once we have drawn near to G-d (Hebrews 10:22), we are to "consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds."  Instead of isolating ourselves, we are exhorted to meet with others where we can encourage others and be encouraged. (Heb 10:24–25) Since each of us has been given the "ministry of reconciliation," (2 Cor 5:18) we should be agents of healing and restoration through Messiah Yeshua. (Gal 6:1-2)

The Blood of Sprinkling                                                                                                                  “He shall slay the young bull before the L-RD; and Aaron’s sons the priests shall offer up the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the doorway of the tent of meeting.”  (Leviticus 1:5) וְשָׁחַט אֶת־בֶּן הַבָּקָר לִפְנֵי יְהוָה וְהִקְרִיבוּ בְּנֵי אַהֲרֹן הַֽכֹּֽהֲנִים אֶת־הַדָּם וְזָרְקוּ אֶת־הַדָּם עַל־הַמִּזְבֵּחַ סָבִיב אֲשֶׁר־פֶּתַח אֹהֶל מוֹעֵֽד

The Cohen HaGadol not only sprinkled the blood around the altar, he dipped his finger in it and sprinkled it seven times before the Lord, in front of the veil.  (Leviticus 4:17)

Some suggest that, likewise, the blood of Yeshua, who was the Cohen HaGadol of the New Covenant, was also sprinkled before the Lord seven times:                                                                          1. Yeshua perspired drops of blood in the Garden of Gethsemane when He prayed to the Father: “And being in anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground” (Luke 22:44)

2. He was struck in the face until it was “marred beyond recognition” (Isaiah 52:14)

3. His back was scourged with a whip (Isaiah 50:6; Matthew 27:26)

4. The soldiers put a crown of thorns on His head (John 19:2)

5. They plucked out His beard (Isaiah 50:6)

6. They pierced His hands and feet (Ps 22:16; Lk 24:39; John 20:27)

7. They pierced His side with a spear and blood and water came out (Psalm 22:14; John 19:34)

Satanic Counterfeit                                                                                                                   Animal rights activists are likely appalled to read of all the sacrifices that the Torah requires. Some people, even Believers, are uncomfortable with the whole idea of blood sacrifices.  One of the reasons is our natural human aversion to blood.  Another reason is because of the association with evil satanic rituals. Satanism observes its own system of blood sacrifices to the powers of darkness. As well, hasatan often attempts to twist and pervert the Word of G-d, using it for his own evil purposes.  Luke 4 gives us an example of how he did this with Yeshua when He was tested in the wilderness where hasatan misleads by substituting wicked counterfeits for the holy things of G-od, such as blood sacrifices. People of various pagan religions have practiced the ritual killing of animals to appease their false gods.  Many cultures used animal sacrifice in purification ceremonies.  Some of these include (in addition to the Hebrews): Greeks, Romans, Ancient Egyptians, Aztecs and Yoruba.

Is animal sacrifice still practiced today?  Not currently in Judaism, as the korbanot cannot be offered without the Temple in Jerusalem.  And there has not been a Temple for nearly 2,000 years. However, outside of Judaism, it is practiced.  Followers of Santeria (a religion of Caribbean origin) to this day offer up some sacrificial animals to cure the sick or give thanks to their god (Orisa) as part of their ritual activities. There are also some Christians in certain Greek villages who, in a practice called kourbània, sacrifice animals to Orthodox saints.

Human Sacrifice                                                                                                                     Another Satanic counterfeit to G-d’s sacrificial system is found in some cultures and religions in which human beings were sacrificed as a way of giving their very best to their god. In times of natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, or volcanic eruptions, which have historically been understood as evidence of their deity’s anger or displeasure, other cultures have offered up human sacrifice in the hopes of appeasing the wrath of their gods. Even in the West, worshipers of hasatan and his demonic entities have been performing human blood sacrifice since ancient times, so it is likely that this practice continues to this very day, especially within secret communities just outside of mainstream culture.

Judaism, on the other hand, abhors the concept of human sacrifice, because it is abhorrent to G-d, as it is written: “Never give your children as sacrifices to the god Molech.  If you do, you are dishonoring the name of your G-d.  I am YHVH.”  (Leviticus 18:21) וּמִֽזַּרְעֲךָ לֹא־תִתֵּן לְהַעֲבִיר לַמֹּלֶךְ וְלֹא תְחַלֵּל אֶת־שֵׁם אֱלֹהֶיךָ אֲנִי יְהוָֽה

It is for this reason that most Jewish people find it so difficult to believe in Yeshua—human sacrifice has always been associated with paganism and is strictly forbidden. The One True G-d completely forbade His people from pagan worship customs and especially the practice of human sacrifice: “You must not worship the L-RD your G-d in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the L-RD hates.  They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.” (Deuteronomy 12:31)                                          לֹא־תַעֲשֶׂה כֵן לַיהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ כִּי כָּל־תּוֹעֲבַת יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר שָׂנֵא עָשׂוּ לֵאלֹהֵיהֶם כִּי גַם אֶת־בְּנֵיהֶם וְאֶת־בְּנֹתֵיהֶם יִשְׂרְפוּ בָאֵשׁ לֵֽאלֹהֵיהֶֽם

Knowing that G-d detests human sacrifice, especially of a son or daughter at the hand of a parent, the Jewish people naturally assume that our G-d would never allow someone to die a substitutionary death the way animals do. This is a significant stumbling block to receiving salvation through Yeshua the Messiah for the Jewish People.  However, the ancient prophet Isaiah revealed that long ago  G-d planned to lay all of our sins and iniquities upon the Messiah: But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him, and by His scourging we are healed.  

וְהוּא מְחֹלָל מִפְּשָׁעֵנוּ מְדֻכָּא מֵעֲוֺנֹתֵינוּ מוּסַר שְׁלוֹמֵנוּ עָלָיו וּבַחֲבֻרָתוֹ נִרְפָּא־לָֽנוּ (Isaiah 53:5)

"All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; But the L-RD has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on Him.”  (Isaiah 53:6)                  כֻּלָּנוּ כַּצֹּאן תָּעִינוּ אִישׁ לְדַרְכּוֹ פָּנִינוּ וַֽיהוָה הִפְגִּיעַ בּוֹ אֵת עֲוֺן כֻּלָּֽנוּ

G-d did not intend for His korbanot to be performed by a people who were determined to live lawless lives. They were never a substitution for living in fellowship with Him and being right-hearted. Likewise, Yeshua’s sacrifice was meant to restore fellowship with our Father upon a person seeking to draw near to Him, sincerely repenting of their sins, and accepting the sacrifice as a free gift on their behalf. The blood of the Lamb of G-d (Yeshua) takes away the sins of those who believe in who He is (John 1:29, 3:18), what He did (1 Cor 15:1-8), turn from their sin (Lk 24:47) and follow Him (John 10:27).

G-d does not delight in the sacrifice but in the right heart of the person who offers it. All of the Hebrew prophets warned the people that offering sacrifices without returning to the principles of righteousness our G-d laid out for us in His Word would be in vain. Ultimately, what G-d requires of each one of us is to practice justice, mercy and humility toward G-d and man.  “It has been told to you, O man, what is good, and what the L-RD does require of you: only to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God.”  (Micah 6:8)  הִגִּיד לְךָ אָדָם מַה־טּוֹב וּמָֽה־יְהוָה דּוֹרֵשׁ מִמְּךָ כִּי אִם־עֲשׂוֹת מִשְׁפָּט וְאַהֲבַת חֶסֶד וְהַצְנֵעַ לֶכֶת עִם־אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ      

                                           

And Yeshua, who has set us free from the evil master of sin through His death and resurrection, has given us the power to be just, love mercy, and walk humbly with our G-d. This is ONLY available through the Ruach Elohim which is in us (Rom 8:4), with us (Deut 31:6, 8) and has sealed us until the day of redemption (Eph 4:30)

TORAH & YHWH

I AM YAHUAH!

This is my Name from Everlasting to Everlasting

יהוה

I AM YAHUAH – This is My name from time everlasting!  The Eternal Father is calling His people to the ostentatious significance of restoring His set-apart name “YAHUAH” (#3068 – יהוה). It also applies to the name of His Son “YAHUSHA” (H#3091 – יהושׁע) haMashiach (the Messiah), wherever either are referred to in Scripture as the “Lord God, Adoni, and Jesus Christ.”  Only then will the nations of earth know that He is the supreme Alahim/Elohim (sovereign).

The Rabbinical Pharisees (Jews), Romans, and Greeks, over the last 2,000 years, have managed to change the correct and original set-apart name of the Eternal Father over 7,000 times throughout the pages of the Kadosh (sacred) Scripture.  Additionally, His Son, our Messiah’s name has been changed 981 times in the Brit Hadasha (N.T.).  As a result, this has caused all the world to worship a replacement or false deity, and a watered-down knowledge of this Supremely Divine duo.  How did this occur? It was accomplished by way of a calculated attack on the translations of Scripture as we know them.

These lies have been sustained on the wings of tradition. They have served well to hide YAHUAH’S magnificent set-apart name and how it relates prophetically to His promised one true Son, our Messiah.  For the real Messiah was to come in His Father’s Kadosh (sacred) NAME and teach exclusively from the Tanakh (O.T.) and to fulfill all that pertained to Him.  In its entirety, it contains the eternal Torah Laws, Statutes of Time, Judgments, and the Temple services.  It is these that bear witness of YAHUSHA haMashiach, for, in this regard, the Eternal Father’s compassionate love was to be manifest.

In Vain They Worship Me

Every time we read in our English Scripture translation the name for our Eternal Father as “Lord,” in reality, it should say YAHUAH (#3068 יהוה). The word “Lord” is a replacement term, and only carries the generic meaning and title of “master,” and can not make a distinction between two or more entities.  Satan and all the mythical gods of the heathen are also called “Lord” and “master.” Brilliantly, a foundational testimony is also borne out by the very names of most of the patriarchs, prophets, and authors of Scripture.  These names announce “YAHUAH” as Elohim/Alahim’s correct Kadosh name, all the while identifying their preordained divine and prophetic calling.

Vocalized Hebrew Names

Names are always to be distinctly translated, especially Hebrew names, as they manifest contextual significance to the promise of salvation.  While Scriptural text is transliterated to bring concepts between languages into harmony, Hebrew names were designed to retain their vocalized sound, no matter how each language spelled them.  They are never to be transliterated to something that sounds altogether different.  Here are several examples from the Tanakh (O.T.) illustrating that the sound of the names of these called leaders of Yasharal (Israel) carries a message of YAHUAH, the MOST HIGH, to His people. Removing the vocalized sound and replacing it with anything else, wholly eliminates the connection to the ETERNAL FATHER.

    Joshua – Real name is YAHUsha (H#3091 – יהושׁע) = “YAHUAH saves by way of the Lamb”

    Isaiah – Real name is YeshaYAHU (H#3470 – ישׁעיהו) = “Salvation is YAHUAH”

    Jonathan – Real name is YAHUnathan (H#3129 – ויונתן) = “YAHUAH has given”

    Jeremiah – Real name is YirmeYAHU (H#3414 – ירמיהו)= “The resurrection/rising is YAHUAH”

    Ezekiel – Real name is YAHchezq’AL (H#3168 – יחזקאל) = “YAHUAH is a righteous Alohim”

    Daniel – Real name is Dani’AL (H#1840 – דניאל) = “The decision is  Alohim’s”

    Obadiah – Real name is ObadYAHU (H#5662 – עבדיהו) = “The servant of YAHUAH”

    Zephaniah – Real name is TsphanYAHU (H#6846 – צפניהו) = “The secret is YAHUAH”

    Zechariah – Real name is ZacharYAHU (H#2148 – זכריהו)= “YAHUAH remembers”

    Nehemiah – Real name is NechemYAH (H#5166 – נחמיה) = “Consoled by YAHUAH”

One might ask where this problem of name changing originated, and the answer may surprise you. It began in Yasharal (Israel)! It started before the first century A.D. The Hebrew word “Adonai” does exist in Scripture as a sign of respect, meaning “master, sir, or my lord.” Yet, this word was never intended to replace the most sacred name of YAHUAH or His Son. 

Rabbinical Jewish Fables

Incredibly, with all this said, the Rabbinical Pharisaical Yahudim (Jews) from Yarushalom (Jerusalem) proactively have for thousands of years cultivated a Babylonian, yet Jewish fable.  They teach their Hebrew language students that while reading Scripture, “every time they come to the Tetragrammaton (name of the Eternal)“יהוה” (YAHUAH), they are to replace it with the word ‘Adonai.’” Strikingly, the English translation for “Adonai” is “THE LORD,” or Babylonian/Greek pagan god named Adonai, Adonis, and Adon.  Is this a mere coincidence?

    Not giving heed to Jewish fables and commandments of men, that turn from the truth. Titus 1:14

Rabbinical Pharisee Lie

Today, each Rabbinical (Babylonian Talmud Pharisee) professor continues to teach their naive students that this practice is done to ensure that they never take YAHUAH’S name in vain. So, the idea is perpetuated that by not actually saying the real name out loud, they will never break the third commandment.

Yet stunningly, this is contrary to the explicit direction of YAHUAH ALAHIM, the ETERNAL FATHER, who requires His people to call on His specific divine vocalized and spelled out NAME.  Changing His name, and never vocalizing the original, is a man-made and witty invention, which has become the convention. This tradition started by the Rabbi’s has caused all to oppose and stand in conflict with the Eternal Father.  This is very much like the first lie in Eden, it discounts and places in question, the desire of the Most High for all to call upon His divine name. Thus, the world has been sold the methodology of having the appearance of truth but denying its power, as they call upon and even worship foreign and pagan gods vainly. 

This Rabbinical tradition has been perpetuated throughout most of the modern Scripture translations. The world’s Bible translations have all been compelled to comply with the replacement terminology of names, continually feeding unsuspecting humanity, a lie.  You can verify this for yourself with the help of a Hebrew dictionary/concordance.  This seemingly small name removal allows for Satan to be worshiped as Sovereign LORD and MASTER of the Universe and undermines all true worship of our Creator YAHUAH ALAHIM. 

    “. . . and in vain they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.” MatithYAHU (Matthew) 15:9

     

    “Remember this, the adversary has defamed YAHUAH יהוה, and the foolish (wicked) people despise His NAME.”  Tehillim (Psalms) 74:17

Crisis of Truth

Name changing in Scripture is a crisis of TRUTH and a large stone in the wall of replacement theology.  Even Wikipedia weighs in, identifying that by worshiping in the name “Adonai or the Lord,” both references give our worship to another god.  It refers to one who is none other than the Babylonian god “Adonis.” Strikingly, this is also an alternate name for Tammuz, the sun god, who also stands as the representative of Satan.  Besides, “Adonai/Lord” is not a title for our Eternal Father and Creator, as many have erroneously believed, but merely a pagan name for Baal and Satan.  Through the Latin influence, it has been translated as “Lord” in all the English Scripture translations.  Folks, the only one laughing is SATAN.  You must obligate yourself to research this subject and commit to Yahuah Alahim alone, to walk in His truth, as it is revealed. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adonis.

There is also historical documentation on how the Messiah’s name was proactively corrupted. And yes, this is hard to take in as well, but if you are committed to seeking the truth and obeying it, then a change of terms may be on your immediate horizon.  You must be proactive on this subject, for Yahuah Alahim is calling His obedient set-apart followers to WAKE UP!  On that coming great day, only those who have done their due-diligence will awake from their slumber with the lamps full of oil, trimmed, and burning. 

    “Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of the shamayim; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of the shamayim.”  MatithYAHU (Matthew) 5:19

Reasons Why it Mattersi-am-yahuah

It is natural at first consideration to question, why does it matter what we call the Eternal Father, as He knows with whom we refer?  Does the Eternal Father and Son care if I continue using Rabbinical Pharisee, Greek, or Roman manufactured replacement terms of “Adoni,” “Lord God and Jesus Christ?”  According to His purposes, He desires to restore His divine TRUTHS, that His people may be victorious unto salvation.

Take a few moments to discover below what Scripture declares on this subject that has been in crisis for thousands of years. Today is your opportunity to be amazed by the Scriptural evidence and turn it all around.

    The Eternal Father has asked that we call Him by His authentic and original name, and not by an improvised title or the name of a fictional god. He is disgusted by the replacement terms as in “the Lord, God, Adoni, or a pagan superhero of antiquity.

Scripture’s Authoritative Question and Answer

    The question requires a NAME:

     

    WHO has ascended into the shamayim (heaven), or descended? WHO has gathered the wind in His fists? WHO has bound the waters in a garment? WHO has established all the ends of the earth? WHAT IS HIS NAME, AND WHAT IS HIS SON’S NAME, IF YOU KNOW?  Mashali (Proverbs) 30:4

     

    The answer provides the NAME:

    Name of the Father

    For behold, HE WHO forms mountains, and creates the wind; WHO declares to man what His thought is; and fashions the morning LIGHT out of darkness, and walks above the high places of the earth— YAHUAH (H#3068 – יהוה) ALAHIM OF APPOINTED TIMES, IS HIS NAME.  Amos 4:13 

    Name of the Son

    And He showed me YAHUSHA (H#3091 – יהושׁע), the high priest standing before the angel of YAHUAH, and Satan standing at His right hand to resist Him.  ZachariYAH (Zechariah) 3:1

YAHUSHA haMashiach Announced by Name

It is no secret that throughout Scripture, profound spiritual truths are portrayed through its detailed record of real-life illustrations.  For example, in YeshaYAHU (Isaiah) chapter 14, verses 1-23, the reference begins describing the King of Babylon but is then transformed into a metaphor and parable for Hillel (H#1966 – הילל – Satan/Lucifer). This depicts his stunning proclamation about gaining dominion over all the earth and receiving the worship due Yahuah Alahim. These verses reveal the heart and intent of Satan to set His throne above YAHUAH Alahim by way of a new Babylonian worship assembly rhythm in opposition to the pre-ordained TIME-MEASURING calendar revealed by the east-west flow of the trinity of LIGHTS (sun, full moon, and stars).

So it should come as no surprise then, as presented in the 3rd and 6th chapter of ZachariYAH, that YAHUSHA, YAHUAH’S RIGHTEOUS SON, is our Messiah and Melchizedek High Priest, presented in metaphor and prophetic parable format, and specifically by NAME. These verses reveal the Messiah’s place of honor, crowned as ruler and judge over all creation. He alone was to come to earth as a man, and together with His FATHER, was to provide THE ONLY WAY OF SALVATION through the real temple, not made with human hands.  This verse may be the most profound description of our Messiah in the Tanakh (O.T.) even though it is somewhat camouflaged within the story-line of another high priest and translated with the use of a letter “J” that does not exist in Hebrew.  

    Name of the Son

    “Then take of silver and gold, and make crowns and place them upon the head of YAHUSHA (H#3091 – יהושׁע), YAHU-ZADOK (YAHUAH’S RIGHTEOUS) SON, THE MESSIAH, THE MELCHIZEDEK HIGH PRIEST, THE GREAT.  And you shall speak concerning HIM, to declare “THUS SAYS YAHUAH OF APPOINTED TIMES, saying:

    ‘Behold, a MAN, THE BRANCH, shall come forth, and for the sake of HIS NAME, HE shall grow up and establish the first and last temple of YAHUAH. But by HIMSELF, HE shall establish the first and last temple of YAHUAH.  And HE shall magnify it with divine splendor and majesty, and shall abide and rule according to HIS FULL MOON (#3677 keceh  כסא – full moon) seat of authority. And HE shall be the MESSIAH, THE MELCHIZEDEK HIGH PRIEST according to HIS FULL MOON SEAT OF AUTHORITY.  And the COUNSEL OF SHALOM (peace and prosperity) shall be established between the two [YAHUSHA and the Full Moon as New Moon].” ZachariYAH (Zechariah) 6:11-13 (New Restored Hebrew Interlinear Text) (Take a moment to compare this to the KJV)

Full Moon, Icon of our Messiah

These verses reveal a nearly lost and forgotten reality that our Messiah is intrinsically linked to the full moon as the genuine and original New Moon to accurately synchronize ALL TRUE SACRED WORSHIP ASSEMBLIES to the shamayim (heavenly) clock.  ALL the work of the Messiah is EVENT related, and the full moon as the original start of the lunar month was ordained to synchronize those EVENTS to precise and prophetic moments in TIME. So it appears that all along, the full moon as the New Moon has been the icon of our Messiah. This dual revelation of both HIS NAME and His FULL MOON, as found in the original Hebrew text, are huge puzzle pieces for the restoration of YAHUAH’S TRUTHS.  All this is made plain for His obedient people in preparation for His soon return and up-coming kingdom government. 

But most striking of all, both verses found in ZachariYAH (Zechariah) 3:1, and 6:11, unveil before our eyes, with two witnesses, the TRUE Kadosh (sacred) NAME of our long promised REDEEMER, as YAHUSHA haMashiach (the Messiah). He alone is YAH-ZADOK (YAHUAH’S RIGHTEOUS), SON.  For in striking contrast, we know that among  mankind, “There is no other name under the shamayim (heaven), whereby we must be saved.” P’yilut Hashaliachim (Acts) 4:12

The Importance of Utilizing the Set-Apart Names

You would not be human if you did not question the necessity of using the original and authentic Kadosh name of YAHUAH and YAHUSHA exclusively. And you are in good company, as we were all trained to utilized and trust in the replacement names. But the last call to come out of Babylon, for the END TIME set-apart people, must include the restoring of the original and authentic sacred names. Babylon represents rebellion to the Most High, the mixture of truth with error, creating chaos and corruption.

The Most High, YAHUAH Alahim continues to lead those ever upward, who seek to follow Him with all their hearts. And although all the world has wandered after the BEAST of Revelation, there will remain a remnant few, who will escape the punishment meted out to those who receive its mark.  These are they who awaken and obey explicitly in two areas, and by extension, obey in all.

    For herein is the shalom (peace)of the righteous, who 1) keep the Torah Law and have the 2) Testimony of Yahusha.  Hagilu Naton Alahim (Revelation) 14:12

     

    “But when the fullness of the time was come, Alahim sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the TORAH LAW, to redeem them that were under the TORAH LAW, that we might receive the adoption of sons.”  Galatians 4:4-5

Note that the Messiah was made under the Torah Law, to redeem them that continue to honor it. 

Forward Movement on the Pathway

The way I see it, the path of TRUTH and GRACE remain in place.  Each of us can claim one portion of the pathway, using squatter’s rights to stake out our doctrinal real estate. But that is missing the point. The purpose of the pathway was designed to provide progressive growth, a moving toward a more excellent and still greater knowledge of the truth as it is in our Messiah and the Eternal Father.  For example, a man who loves his wife and children after being away at war; he doesn’t just decide that his honorable discharge is all the further he will move toward home.  No, he must go to the airport, board the plane, and arrive in his home town. Then he must continue to advance homeward in His enthusiastic joy of seeing them again. He doesn’t see this as a burden, but as joyous and with great anticipation. This is how the true believer feels. They want to get as close to Yahuah and Yahusha and the truth, as possible.  Remaining on the path in a proactive and forward motion is a lifetime experience.  No one who sits down assuming squatters’ rights, will ever arrive at a destination beyond that point.  Organized “Christian” churches are well known for creating a creed of beliefs that tend toward producing squatters rights, and thereby short circuits their congregation’s thirst for truth and movement forward. Add to this a Rabbi, a presumed modern prophet, or Reformer, and it is next to impossible for these to have ears to hear the Ruach’s (presence, power, promise of Yahuah) still small voice guiding them further still. 

Yahuah does not expect a man without legs to compete in a 100-yard sprint. But as far as a person can learn the truth, that person is accountable for seeking, knowing, and sharing it.

    My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being Kohenim (Priests) for Me. Because you have forgotten the Torah of your Alahim, I also will forget your children.  HoshaYAH (Hosea) 4:6

YAHUAH would not require the same accountability from a mentally challenged individual as from one with full mental competence.  But for those who know to do good, but refuse, or use excuses like closing their eyes or plugging their ears:

    Therefore to him that knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin. James 4:17

Called to a Higher Standard

All of us must consider the ramifications of each decision we make.  We are being called to a higher standard today as we near our Messiah’s Second Coming, than the religious denominations and their leaders that have come before us.  Let us not be as a dog that returns to its vomit.  YAHUAH is calling those who will be obedient out of all religious organizations.  It is no different than drawing a line in the sand and saying, “who is for me and who is against me.”  The choice belongs to you, but only because Yahuah provided the choice through His Son.

Is this unfair and judgmental?  Some will accuse of this, but YAHUAH defines things in black and white and with much compassion for ignorance.

Remember, the only Scriptures YAHUSHA haMashiach (the Messiah) and His disciples read and studied from was the Hebrew Torah (first five books of Mosheh), the Tanakh (entire O.T.), and the Nevium (writings).  Their study was in the Hebrew Scriptures and not what we call the New Testament (translated from Greek).  At the time of our Messiah, Hebrew was the primary language among the Jews, not Greek. Their names were Hebrew, as was their very culture. Thus, to be YAHUSHA’S faithful followers, anciently as well as now, means that we are to read what He read, we must believe what He believed.  And in contrast to the modern Rabbinical Pharisees (Jews), we must accept YAHUSHA as our Messiah, because He alone was the fulfillment of the Torah/Tanakh prophecies.

Our Messiah is the Beginning of Torah Prophecies and Not the End

Contrary to popular understanding, it is the reality of the Messiah that gives life to the Torah/Tanakh. The reverse is equally valid as in them we recognize the true Messiah by NAME and by the appointed Kadosh FULL NEW MOON TIME.  At that time, the sacred name of YAHUAH Alahim had not yet been overwritten in Scripture with the Latin terms “Lord God.”  And it was not until the council of Nicaea (c. C.E. 321-325) that the actual name of the Messiah was replaced in the Brit Hadasha (N.T.), with the name “Jesus Christ.” 

Our Well-groomed Paradigms Flawed

It is natural to compare new LIGHT with a standard of our current paradigms.  I know, because I did that for 50 years.  Shocking as it may be, our well-groomed and individual paradigms can be seriously flawed even though it may represent hundreds or even thousands of years of denominational thought and practice. Then I had an awakening!

Yahuah called me to turn over every doctrinal stone and prove each from Scripture alone. I was to use the weight of evidence and not a single verse or paradigm of a so-called modern-day “prophet” or church creed. As I did this, I discovered the truth resides in the original Hebrew text, minus the vowel points. These vowel points were non-existent before the twelfth century A.D when the Mazorites under the direction of Rabbinical Pharisees added them to bring all the world under their own unity of thought.  Only then was I set free from many erroneous beliefs that had held me captive.  By this, I mean that some false doctrines kept me from knowing the truth or being willing to look at new light. 

Is it Possible to Come Far Enough?

No doubt, I will continue to discover more areas that require change.  It is how we are to grow deeper rooted in truth and knowledge of YAHUAH and HIS SON.  Along this pathway, everyone is at a different place based upon many factors such as denominational paradigms, Scriptural foundation, study time, personal ability, and years in the word, etc.  But the key to all of this is in remaining steadfast on the path and not merely declaring, “Yahuah, I’ve come far enough.”

All the apparent conflict found among the masses of professed believers, is because they continue walking the broad road of Rabbinical Pharisee Jewish fables and commandments of men (Titus 1:14), who mix Egyptian, Babylonian Oral Traditions, and Roman doctrine with those of Scripture. The modern Rabbinical Pharisee (Jews) have not only replaced the set-apart name of YAHUAH in their Torah but they have systematically denied the Messiah, and fully corrupted their original calendar.  It is now based upon a complete 180-degree reversal of time reckoning from that of Scripture.  This change from the original took place over 400 years, between the 1st and 4th centuries A.D.  Today, the modern Jewish calendar and Feast Days are off by a minimum of 2 weeks to a maximum of 1.5 months on any given year.  And the Rabbinical Pharisee Jewish Saturday Sabbath is only a Roman calendar myth.

Alahim/Elohim – Name or Title?

From my research, I have found that Alahim/Elohim (God) is a plural term that represents our CREATOR & REDEEMER, the FATHER and SON duo deserving of our praise andi-am-yahuah worship. It is Scripture’s identifying title of introduction to YAHUAH and YAHUSHA, provided in Genesis 1:1.   Alahim is applied to Yahuah in the same way as the title Mr., Mrs., Ms., or Dr., designate status, but is a plural term referring to both the Father and Son.  

Case in point.  You may recall the famous exchange that took place on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, Africa, in 1871, when Henry Morton Stanley finally found the man he was seeking and declared, “Doctor“ Livingston, I presume.”  The term “Dr.” was NOT his Name, as it is used as a title for countless other folks, rendering it generic in nature. Instead, the name David Livingston clarifies the specific Dr. who went to Africa as an Explorer/Missionary. Titles identify groups, but not specifics, while names define specifics and not groups.  In contrast, Scripture identifies YAHUAH and YAHUSHA as the specific distinguished names of our Creator and His Son, who bear the first plural TITLE of “Alahim/Elohim (God).”

Here are two inspirational quotes by Dr. David Livingston:

    “I am prepared to go anywhere, provided it be forward.”

     

    “If you have men who will only come if they know there is a good road, I don’t want them. I want men who will come if there is no road at all.”

To which God Do You Refer?

There are some who have believed that if a word was ever used by the pagans then we cannot use it, as in the case of Alahim/Elohim.

    “This issue hinges on one pivotal question: who used the title Alahim/Elohim first, the Hebrews who spoke the language of Hebrew, or the Canaanites who spoke a related Semitic tongue?”  http://www.yrm.org/elohim-proper-pagan.htm

From this one sentence, there is evidence that pagan gods were commonly referred to as Alahim/Elohim (god).  For it carried a generic concept of one deserving of worship.  But when the specific names of the particular gods are applied in addition to Alahim, it is then that we can recognize who that Alahim (god) is referring to.  While we have been conditioned to believe that the term god is referring to our Creator, it simply was not so among all pagan nations.  When they heard the term “god/Elohim,” it meant god Baal, god Marduk, god Dagon, or god Adonai, etc.  So we find that merely using the term “god” is incorrect.   But also solely using Elohim or Alahim in prayer or praise is not sufficient to distinguish who we worship. 

You may be tempted to say, “well, I think ‘God’ knows who I mean,” and that is all I need.” But this response takes us back to the idea of “knowing to do good and not doing it.”  For Yahuah wants to hear humankind call Him by His actual name!  Might this even be a test of servant-hood?

I Am Yahuah – This is my Name from Time Everlasting

For all those seeking obedience to the ETERNAL FATHER, He has declared through the weight of evidence in Scripture that we are to call upon His specific set-apart NAME, YAHUAH ALAHIM. Stunningly, this same set-apart name is the very framework of our Messiah’s name.  For He did not come in the name of the mere title Alahim, or an altogether different name such as the replacement name. The name of “Jesus Christ,” as has been falsely placed in our Scripture translations, carries no Hebrew meaning, other than “the horse.” Instead, He came in the most critically important and majestic NAME of His Father “YAHUAH יהוה.”  The only difference is the added “S” after the U to complete the sound of His name YAHUSHA יהושׁה.  

    I [YAHUSHA] am come in my Father’s name [YAHUAH], and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name [JESUS CHRIST], him ye will receive. YAHUchanon (John) 5:43

     

    YAHUSHA answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me.  YAHUchanon (John) 10:25

     

    For I say unto you, you shall not see me henceforth, till you shall say, barakah (blessed) is he that comes in the name of YAHUAH.   MatithYAHU (Matthew) 23:39

In His Father’s Name

The correct name of YAHUAH is multi-dimensional!  It greatly mattered to YAHUSHA, our Messiah! So by extension, this should matter much to all of the Messiah’s obedient followers.  For the “SHA” sound in “YAHUSHA” describes the intrinsic promise from Eden that YAHUAH, the Eternal Father, would SAVE humanity by way of the LAMB. It was the Messiah alone who would lay down His life as the PROMISED LAMB.”  The “SHA” (שׁה) means LAMB!   Salvation is only possible by way of the promised LAMB. And not just any LAMB, His name testifies that He is the LAMB of YAHUAH יהוה, all within His set-apart name YAHUSHA יהושׁה.

    “NEITHER IS THERE SALVATION IN ANY OTHER: FOR THERE IS NO OTHER NAME UNDER THE SHAMAYIM (heaven), GIVEN AMONG MEN, WHEREBY WE CAN BE SAVED!”  P’yilut Hashaliachim (Acts) 4:12

So why is it so difficult to accept the actual SET-APART NAMES of YAHUAH and YAHUSHA, who alone are deserving of worship? Our frame of reference is faulty because our paradigms were corrupted.  We have all been conditioned to believe the replacement terminology of Lord, Adoni, and Jesus Christ.  FOLKS, THESE TERMS ARE NOT TRANSLATION WORD OPTIONS BUT ARE IN FACT PAGAN “GOD” SUBSTITUTES. Next, these have been, proactively and consistently printed in our English Scriptures, to wholly replace the authentic and original names of the Eternal Father and Son. Consequently, these pagan terms have no business being utilized for prayer, praise, or worship of the Eternal Father and Son. Period!

Either Alahim or Elohim are the correct term to use in combination with YAHUAH and YAHUSHA, as it designates which Alahim (God).  I might add that our compassionate Eternal Father does not hold this against anyone who simply does not know. Instead, it is only those who are accountable, who do know, or have been given ample opportunity to both know and understand.

Why are the Father and Son’s Names So Important?

You may be thinking, “What’s the big deal as He knows my heart?”  Does the Eternal Father and Son care if I continue using the Roman manufactured names or Rabbinical Pharisee Jewish traditional replacements?  Now that you know what Scripture declares on this subject, take it to YAHUAH and YAHUSHA in prayer.  Today is your opportunity to turn this buried treasure into a treasure trove that changes lives.

For only those who LOVE the Eternal Father and Son unto Salvation, will STOP desecrating their Kadosh (set-apart) NAMES, and STOP BREAKING the THIRD COMMANDMENT found in Shemot (Exodus) 20:7 and Devarim (Deuteronomy) 5:11.  We take His name in vain when we: 1) Claim to be His obedient followers, yet reject or dishonor His correct Kadosh name; 2) Pretend to be one of His, yet live a life that is out of harmony with His will.

Paradigm Shift in Names

A paradigm shift is necessary, but in name only, for our Savior, YAHUSHA, the Messiah, did walk this earth. Together with His Father, YAHUAH and YAHUSHA created all things.  Four thousand years later, the creative Word was made flesh and dwelt among us (YAHchanan John 1:1).  Indeed, He called the twelve and patiently instructed them in righteousness.  His arms were outstretched to heal the sick and feed poor and the 5,000 with five loaves and two fishes. He willingly laid down His life for all humanity, as a demonstration of His eternal love for His children.  His Father’s will He followed in joy and pain. Defeating death, Yahusha rose again in power and exaltation. His magnificent work on behalf of humankind continues today in His sanctified temple courts above. 

Soon, He will declare, “IT IS FINISHED,” ending His Zadok (righteous) Kohenim (priestly) work of forgiveness forever by laying down the smoking censer. He will return the second time to complete the prophetic mechanism called the plan of salvation.  It shall be worked out in real-time according to His Kadosh (set-apart) timeline of His seven prophetic appointed Feast Days. These Feast Days prophetically encompass the entire 7,000 years until His people are restored, and the earth is created new. 

Assurance of Salvation

Our salvation is assured as we can discern the truth from error by His Ruach (Yahuah’s Presence), and walk according to it.  He reveals this to us no matter your age or how long you have been entrenched in believing the lie.  It is only in finding truth that the heart that desires it above houses, land, money, or popularity, will humble themselves and seek YAHUAH’S face for forgiveness.  For there is no custom or tradition on the face of this earth, no matter how deeply seated, that is worth losing our salvation over.  No one said it would be easy either.  For every new truth, we come to accept, by its very design of cause and effect, predisposes that we must give up a previously held belief, and this can be downright painful at times.  The Messiah says:

    I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.  Therefore be zealous and repent.  Behold, I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.  To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My seat of power, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His seat of power.  Hagilu Natan Alahim (Revelation) 3:18

The Formula from the Beginning

No one who seeks an everlasting home beyond the pearly gates will be left untouched by the controversy over truth and error.  All have been naked, yet all must be clothed with YAHUSHA’S RIGHTEOUSNESS.  It is the formula from the beginning in Eden when the first lamb (שׂה-sha) was slain, and the Creator placed the white blood-stained woolen skins upon our first parents.  For this was the SIGN of the promise of our Messiah. For it is His eternal robes of righteousness that cover His obedient followers. (Genesis 3:21).

All have sinned, but YAHUSHA, our Messiah and promised LAMB, has made provision for each person who humbly asks. The choice is yours.  We are entering into the refining time.  Each of us must release our grip on all the things of this world that are not pure gold, tried, and proven to be of eternal weight.          

YAHUAH prosper you and guard you;

YAHUAH make His face shine upon you, and show favor to you;

YAHUAH lift-up His countenance upon you, and give you shalom (peace).

Thus I shall put My NAME [YAHUAH Alahim] upon the children of Yasharal,

And I, Myself, shall honor them.

B’midvar (Numbers) 6:24-27

And the DAUGHTER of ANY PRIEST, if SHE PROFANE HERSELF by PLAYING the WHORE, She PROFANES Her Father: 

"SHE shall be BURNT With FIRE".

 (LEVITICUS 21:9)

---------------

For EVERYONE that "CURSES" His Father or His MOTHER shall be SURELY put to DEATH: 

He has CURSED his Father or his MOTHER; his BLOOD shall be UPON him.  (LEVITICUS 20:9)

--------------

And the MAN that BREAKS WEDLOCK with Another MAN'S WOMAN, even he that BREAKS WEDLOCK with His NEIGHBOUR'S WOMAN, the Man and the WOMAN that BREAKS WEDLOCK SHALL SURELY be PUT to DEATH. 

 (LEVITICUS 20:10)

"The INSTANT DEATH PENALTY in The TURAH"

YAHUSHA MASHYAKH Delivered US From DEATH PENALTY in The TURAH:

-------------

And the SCRIBES and PARASHIYM BROUGHT unto "YAHUSHA" a WOMAN taken in ADULTERY; and when they had SET Her in the MIDST, They say unto YAHUSHA, Rabbi, this WOMAN was TAKEN in ADULTERY, in the VERY ACT. 

Now MUSHAH in the TURAH COMMANDED Us, that SUCH should be STONED:

 But What SAY YOU?  

(YAHUCHANAN  8:3-5):

So when they CONTINUED Asking HIM, YAHUSHA lifted   UP himself, and said unto them, He that is WITHOUT SIN AMONG YOU, let him FIRST CAST a STONE at HER.  (YAHUCHANAN 8:7)

"DEATH in The TURAH of YAHUAH ALuah; Before YAHUSHA Mashyakh CAME into The WORLD:

------------

Ye have HEARD that it has been said, An EYE for an EYE, and a TOOTH for a TOOTH: 

But I say unto you, That Ye RESIST not EVIL:

 But WHOSOEVER shall SMITE you on your RIGHT CHEEK, TURN to him the OTHER ALSO.  

(MatathYAHU 5:38-39):

"DEATH in The TURAH..

YAHUAH ALuah Gave  YAHUSHA The POWER & The AUTHORITY To FULFILL IT..

---------------

For the TURAH of the RUACH of the LIFE in MASHYAKH YAHUSHA has Made Me "FREE from the TURAH of SIN and DEATH". 

For what was IMPOSSIBLE UNDER the TURAH for the FLESH to do, YAHUAH did in SENDING HIS own SON in the LIKENESS of SINFUL FLESH, and for SIN, CONDEMNED SIN in the FLESH: 

(ROMANS 8:2-3):

"APOSTLE SHAUL is REMINDING US What YAHUSHA MASHYAKH Has DONE For ALL MANKIND:

YAHUSHA Took AWAY The INSTANT DEATH PENALTY in The TURAH..

SHAUL Did Not Say that The TURAH is DONE AWAY WITH:

YAHUSHA Said to the WOMAN Who COMMITTED ADULTERY; "Neither Do I CONDEMN You: Go & SIN No MORE:

(GO & STOP BREAKING WEDLOCK/ADULTERY..

GO & STOP BREAKING The TURAH of YAHUAH ALuah:

-------------

MASHYAKH YAHUSHA Has REDEEMED US from the CURSE of the TURAH, Being MADE a CURSE for US: 

For it is WRITTEN, CURSED is EVERYONE that HANGS on a TREE:

 (GALATIANS 3:13)

"This is The LOVE of YAHUSHA Mashyakh"

---------------

For ALL have SINNED, and COME SHORT of the ESTEEM of YAHUAH; Being JUSTIFIED Freely by HIS FAVOUR through the REDEMPTION that is in MASHYAKH YAHUSHA: 

Whom YAHUAH has SET FORTH as an ATONEMENT  Through BELIEF in HIS BLOOD, to DECLARE his RIGHTEOUSNESS for the REMISSION of SINS that are PAST, Through the FORBEARANCE of YAHUAH:

(ROMANS 3:23-25)

-------------

Seeing it is ONE YAHUAH, which shall JUSTIFY the "CIRCUMCISION by BELIEF", and "UNCIRCUMCISION Through BELIEF". 

Do we then MAKE "VOID" the TURAH by BELIEF? NEVER: Yea, WE ESTABLISH the TURAH.  

(ROMANS 3:30-31)

"Because We BELIEVE in YAHUAH ALuah & HIS BELOVED SON YAHUSHA MASHYAKH; The TURAH Does Not BECOME VOID: 

This is What APOSTLE SHAUL is Saying:

"CIRCUMCISION of The FLESH Was GIVEN UNTO "HEBREW YASHARAL/YAHUDYM:

UNCIRCUMCISION of The FLESH Was GIVEN to OTHER NATIONS Through APOSTLE SHAUL:

(Galatians 2:7=8)

---------------

And I IMMERSED also the HOUSEHOLD of Stephanas: 

Besides, I know not whether I IMMERSED any OTHER. 

For MASHYAKH SENT ME NOT to IMMERSE, but to PREACH the BESORAH: 

NOT with WISDOM of WORDS, LEST the STAKE of MASHYAKH should BE MADE of No EFFECT.  

(1 CORINTHIANS) 1:16-17):

"SHAUL Himself IMMERSED The HOUSEHOLD of STEPHANAS; As WRITTEN:

"SHAUL is Saying That; He Was NOT GIVEN The GIFT of IMMERSION...

SHAUL is NOT AGAINST IMMERSION:

"And He Says; We Should Not BOAST..

We Are Under ONE BODY; Which is YAHUSHA Mashyakh..

It Does Not Matter  Whom IMMERSED US; As Long As It's DONE in The NAME of YAHUSHA Mashyakh..

--------------

ABRYT YASHARAL & OTHER NATIONS MUST "REPENT & BELIEVE & BE IMMERSED in The WATER; In The Name of YAHUSHA Mashyakh; & OBEY The TURAH of YAHUAH ALuah; Through BELIEF in YAHUSHA...

EVERYTHING To DO With PRIESTHOOD is FULFILLED by YAHUSHA Ha'Mashyakh:

DON'T LET CROOKS & FOOLS & THIEVES To COLLECT TITHES From YOU; & At The SAME TIME They REJECT The SHABBATH & They EAT UNCLEAN ANIMALS "PORK & FISH"...

(YashaYAHU 65 & 66):

---------------

Because YAHUSHA Mashyakh Has DELIVERED US From INSTANT DEATH PENALTY in The TURAH:

It Does Not Mean We Should Go On & START COMMITTING ADULTERY & BREAKING WEDLOCK:

It Does Not Mean We Should Go On & START EATING UNCLEAN PORK & FISH:

TRANSGRESSION OF DESOLATION AND THE ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION… THE TRUTH

TRANSGRESSION OF DESOLATION AND THE  ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION… THE TRUTH

 

by Rav Sha'ul

The Earth is polluted by its inhabitants - They have committed the Transgression of Desolation (transgressed the Torah, changed the Holy Feasts to Christopagan Holidays, and broken the Everlasting Covenant of the Sabbath changing it to the pagan Sunday) - Therefore the Curse found in the Torah devours the whole Earth, the inhabitants of Earth will be burned up, and few men left. - Isaiah 24: 1-6

Transgression of Desolation is the reason for the Great Tribulation but is NOT the Abomination of Desolation

Daniel 7

 21As I looked, this horn made war with the saints and prevailed over them(7) 

 25And he (false messiah) shall speak words against the Most High [YHWH] and shall wear out the saints of the Most High and think to change the time [of sacred feasts and holy days] and the law (Torah); and the saints shall be given into his hand for a time, two times, and half a time [three and one-half years].(8)

Why is are the sacred feasts, holy days, and the Saints of God GIVEN BY GOD over to the hand of the anti Messiah for judgment for 1,260 days?

Daniel 8

10And [in my vision this horn] grew great, even against the host of heaven [the chosen people of YHWH], and some of the host and of the stars [Priest/Prophets] it cast down to the ground and trampled on them,

11Yes, [this horn] magnified itself, even [matching itself] against the Prince of the host [Michael the Archangel see Dan 12:1]; and from Him (YHWH) the continual [defense of the saints provided by Michael the Archangel] was taken away [Daniel 12:1, Rev. 12, 2 Thess 2:7] and the place of [YHWH] sanctuary [Temple Mount] was cast down and profaned [by abominations].

12And the host [the chosen people] was given [to the anti Messiah] together with the continual [defense provided by Michael] because of the transgression of desolation [of God's people--their changing ordained feasts, changing the Holy Sabbath, and transgressing the Torah]. And righteousness and truth [of YHWH] were cast down to the ground, and it [the wicked horn] accomplished this [by Divine permission] and prospered.

13Then I heard a holy one [angel] speaking, and another holy [angel]one said to the one that spoke, "For how long is the vision concerning the continual [defense taken away], the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of both the sanctuary and the host [the Saints] to be trampled underfoot?(4)

14And he said to him and to me, For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed and restored.

The Transgression of Desolation leads to the Abomination of Desolation at the End of the Great Trib

Daniel 8

23And at the latter end of their [4th] kingdom [end of the Great Tribulation], when the transgressors [the apostate people of God who committed the Transgression of Desolation causing the Great Tribulation] have reached the fullness [of their wickedness, taxing the limits of YHWH's mercy], a [shadow] king of fierce countenance and understanding dark trickery and craftiness shall stand up [in the Holy Sanctuary and commit the Abomination of Desolation].

It is due to the Transgression of Desolation that Jerusalem finally falls at the LATTER END of the Great Tribulation to the anti Messiah.  And THEN he shall stand up…

Daniel 11

31And armed forces of his shall appear [in the holy land, against Israel] and they shall pollute the sanctuary [Temple Mount], the [Spiritual] stronghold, and shall take away the continual [offering]; and they [armed forces of false messiah] shall set up [in the sanctuary at the latter end of the 4th kingdom] the abomination that astonishes and makes desolate [probably an altar to a pagan god].

Now we see the Abomination of Desolation occur at the END.  VERY different from the Transgression of Desolation which is the reason for the Great Tribulation.  The Abomination of Desolation occurs at the LATTER END of the 4th kingdom of the anti Messiah!  It is the Transgression of Desolation perpetrated by the Holy People that cause the Great Tribulation and the fall of Jerusalem upon the 3rd siege resulting in the Abomination of Desolation… We see the false Messiah attack from both the North and South, and he prevails over them and enters Israel.  Major war in the Middle East ensues.  Many nations come against his army and utterly destroys them as he setup up his kingdom.  And at the very end he "pitches his palatial tents on the Holy Mount Zion" commits the Abomination of Desolation and quickly comes to his end with the immediate return of Yahusha.

Daniel 11

40And at the time of the end [of the 4th Kingdom and Great Tribulation] the king of the South shall push at and attack him [false Messiah], and the king of the North shall come against him [false Messiah] like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries and shall overflow and pass through.

41He shall enter into the Glorious Land [ Israel ] and many shall be overthrown, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom , Moab , and the main [core] of the people of Ammon.

42He shall stretch out his hand also against the [other] countries, but the land of Egypt shall not be among the escaped ones.

43But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver and over all the precious things of Egypt , and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall accompany him [compelled to follow his steps].

44But rumors from the east and from the north shall alarm and hasten him. And he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to sweep away many.

45And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the seas and the glorious holy Mount [ Zion ]; yet he shall come to his end with none to help him.(2)

Daniel defines the duration of the Transgression of Desolation as being 1,260 days, during which time Michael is removed from protecting the people of YWH and they are turned over, shattered, and crushed by the false Messiah for committing the Transgression of Desolation.:

Daniel 12

7And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right and his left hand toward the heavens and swore by Him [YHWH] Who lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half a time [or three and one-half years]; and when they have made an end of shattering and crushing the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

Then Daniel describes the distance between the beginning of the Transgression of Desolation and the Abomination of Desolation as being 1,290 days which is the 3.5 year Great Tribulation.

Daniel 12

11And from the time that the continual [defense provided by the Archangel Michael] is taken away [because of the Transgression of Desolation] and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days.(6)

Then Daniel gives the duration between the beginning of the Great Tribulation and the beginning of the Millennial Reign as 1,335 days.

Daniel 12

12Blessed, happy, fortunate, spiritually prosperous, and to be envied is he who waits expectantly and earnestly [who endures without wavering beyond the period of tribulation] and comes to the 1,335 days!

Conclusion…

The Transgression of Desolation is caused by the rebellion of the Holy People and defined as 2,300 “mornings and evenings” or rather 1,150 days which causes the Holy People to be given over to the anti Messiah during the great trib which is defined as 1,260 days.  This is the reason the two witnesses speak out for 1,260 days against the Holy People for their rebellion against the Feasts, Torah, and Sabbath of YHWH.

The Abomination of Desolation is committed at the End of the Great Trib 1,290 days after the Great Trib begins.  Prompting Yahusha's immediate response (Second Coming).

This is confirmed by Yahusha in Matthew 24

In Matthew Chapter 24, Yahusha gives the progression of End Events as follows:

Kingdom will rise against kingdom

Wars and rumors of war

Earthquakes

Tribulation and persecution of the Saints… mass martyrdom

Great Apostasy, Lawlessness and Iniquity (Transgression of God’s Laws… Transgression of Desolation)

He who endures ‘till the VERY END will be saved

The Good News will be proclaim to all nations (The Two Witnesses witness for 1,260 days)

THEN THE END COMES….

The End marked by the following prophecy…

The Abomination of Desolation!

Which causes the prompted return of the King, Armageddon, and the desolation of the planet. 

Yahusha is asked the sign of His Second Coming in vs. 3, and after giving details the question is finally answered in vs. 15 with The Abomination of Desolation.  Therefore, the Abomination of Desolation is listed as the final sign that brings Yahusha back to Earth.  

Matthew 24

Question... What is THE sign of Yahusha's immediate return?

3While He was seated on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately and said, Tell us, when will this take place, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end (the completion, the consummation) of the age?

4Yahusha answered them, Be careful that no one misleads you [deceiving you and leading you into error].

5For many will come in (on the strength of) My name [[2] appropriating the name which belongs to Me], saying, I am the the Messiah (the Messiah), and they will lead many astray.

6And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened or troubled, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.

7For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in place after place;

8All this is but the beginning [the early pains] of the [3] birth pangs [of the [4] intolerable anguish].

9Then they will hand you over to suffer affliction and tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for My name's sake.

10And then many will be offended and repelled and will [5] begin to distrust and desert [Him Whom they ought to trust and obey] and will stumble and fall away and betray one another and pursue one another with hatred.

11And many false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead many into error.

12And the love of [6] the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity,

13But he who endures to the end will be saved.

14And this good news of the kingdom (the Gospel) will be preached throughout the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then will come the end. (The End, or Second Coming occurs because of vs. 15)

Answer... The Abomination of Desolation sparks the 10 days of tribulation, 10 days of awe between the Feast of Trumpets (second coming) and day of Atonement.

15So when you see the appalling sacrilege [the abomination that astonishes and makes desolate], spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the Holy Place--let the reader take notice and [7] ponder and consider and heed [this]--(1)

16Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains;

Now that we see that Yahusha specifically stated and agreed with Daniel that the Abomination of Desolation occurs at the very end, then why do most scholars teach the Abomination of Desolation occurs 3.5 years BEFORE the End?  The reason is that Daniel was SEALED and scholars did not “see” the Transgression of Desolation.  Furthermore, scholars made the WRONG assumption concerning what is “taken away”.  Inserting “sacrifices” where the “defense” of the holy people was implied.

Hebrew/Aramaic Scriptures vs. English Translations

The Meaning of Italics in the English Translations of the Bible

When the original Bible was translated from Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek; the challenge for the translators was to correctly translate these languages into an English equivalent and make judgment calls when God made implications. 

Simply put, there was a need to ADD English words to the original texts in order to complete the meaning in English that was implied in the original text.  Words were added where the original text made IMPLICATIONS.

Therefore, when the original text IMPLIED a meaning, the translators had to make a judgment call as to the implication and ADD the English word that they believed the original text was implying.

As I will demonstrate, these translators did not always make the correct assumptions.

English Words ADDED to the Book of Daniel

In the book of Daniel, the word “sacrifice” was added to the King James Version in VERY important scripture which define the signs of the Great Tribulation and the duration between major end events.

“Sacrifice” was added after the word tamiyd which was translated “daily”.  The original text did not specify what was implied by the word tamiyd (daily) so the English translators assumed the original text was implying “sacrifice”.

Below are the scripture where the word tamiyd “daily” was used and the word “sacrifice” was added by the English translators assuming the “sacrifice” was the proper implication.  NOTE: the word “sacrifice” is in ITALICS which means the word was added and not originally in the text:

Daniel 8:11-14

10   And it (the anti Messiah) waxed great, even to the host of heaven (angelic realm); and it cast down some of the host (saints of God the Holy People) and of the stars (angles) to the ground, and stamped upon them.

11   Yea, he magnified himself (matching himself) even to the Prince of the host (Michael the Archangel ), and by Him (God) the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.

12   And an host (saint, the Holy People) was given (by God to) him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression (of the Holy People), and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

13   Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

14   And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

Daniel 11:31

31   And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

Daniel 12:11

11   And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

 

Hebrew Word translated “Daily”

In the above scriptures, only the word “tamiyd” occurred in the original text.  The word is translated “daily” and the word “sacrifice” was added in English to try and clarify what God implied.

Below is the actual word translated “daily” from the Strong’s Concordance:

8548

tamiyd

taw-meed'

from an unused root meaning to stretch out; properly, continuance (as indefinite extension); but used only (attributively as adjective) constant (or adverbially, constantly);

So the word “tamiyd” is an adjective used to modify a noun.  The word means to stretch out properly, stretch out continually or constantly.

The key is to try and determine “what noun” was implied by God when He used the adjective “tamiyd”.  Was it the “sacrifice” that was implied as the English translators assumed?  Or was it something else?  Possibly the DEFENSE of the Holy People namely Michael the Archangel ?

The translators determined it was the “sacrifice” based on Daniel 9:27.  However, Daniel 9:27 was referring to the mid-point of OSLO , the 7-year treaty, known in prophecy as the 7-Good Years of Joseph.  Daniel 9:27 WAS NOT referring to the mid-point of the Tribulation (7-Bad Years of Jacob) when the Great Tribulation begins.  Therefore the implication of “sacrifice” is INCORRECT.

Proper Implication of “Tamiyd”

EVERY verse listed above in context is speaking of the Archangel Michael, the Prince of the Angelic Host, the Commander of the Angelic Host, being taken away by God as a result of the Transgression of Desolation.  The Transgression of the Holy People against the laws, feast, and covenants of God.

Therefore, the proper implication is that the “daily defense” of the Holy People provided by Michael the Archangel will be “taken away” not the sacrifice.

Daniel 12 specifically answers this question and identifies that it is Michael that is taken away.  Paul confirmed it was Michael (the restrainer) that it taken away in 2 Thessalonians.  John confirmed it is Michael that is taken away in Revelation 12.

Paul makes reference to Michael the Archangel being Taken Away

In 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12, Paul describes the beginning of the Great Tribulation.  Paul agrees with Daniel 12 and John in Revelation 12 that the Great Tribulation begins when the Archangel Michael, the restrainer/defender of the Holy People is taken away by YHWH due to the Transgression of Desolation (transgression of the Holy People against the Feast, Torah, Sabbath see Isaiah 24:1-6).

2 Thessalonians 2:7-12

7 For the mystery of lawlessness (transgression of the Law or Torah) does already work (mystery began just before the sacrifice of Messiah Yahusha). Only there is one (the Archangel Michael) who restrains now, until he [Michael] is taken out of the way [from defending the Holy People because of this lawlessness] (reference Daniel 8:10-14, Daniel 12:1 and Revelation 12:1).

8 Then will the lawless (disobedient & without Love) one be revealed [false Messiah], whom the Lord [Messiah Yahusha] will kill with the 'Spirit of his Mouth' (Knowledge of The Truth), and bring to nothing by the brightness (Righteousness) of his coming;

9 even he (the "Make Believe" messiah - IHS) whose coming is according to the working (deception) of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 and with all deception of wickedness for those (The Many) who are being lost, because they (The Many) didn't receive [accept] the love of the truth [found in the Feasts, Torah, Sabbath, and Messiah of YHWH], that they might be saved (with The Few / Matthew 20:16).

11 Because of this ("Error" in unrighteous judgment), YHWH sends them (allows them to have) a working of error (false belief in deception or fables found in the Christopagan Church of pagan rituals, pagan gods, and pagan holy day), that they should believe a lie (follow Satan's false Messiah - IHS / mystery began just before the sacrifice of Messiah Yahusha);

12 so that they all might be judged who didn't (choose to) believe the truth, but had (taken) pleasure in unrighteousness.

Daniel specifically states Michael the Archangel is removed:

Daniel 8

10And [in my vision this horn] grew great, even against the host of heaven [the chosen people of YHWH], and some of the host and of the stars [Priest/Prophets] it cast down to the ground and trampled on them,

11Yes, [this horn] magnified itself, even [matching itself] against the Prince of the host [Yahusha]; and from Him (YHWH) the continual [defense of the saints provided by Michael the Archangel] was taken away [Daniel 12:1, Rev. 12, 2 Thess 2:7] and the place of [YHWH] sanctuary [Temple Mount] was cast down and profaned [by abominations].

12And the host [the chosen people] was given [to the anti Messiah] together with the continual [defense provided by Michael] because of the transgression of desolation [of God's people--their changing ordained feasts, changing the Holy Sabbath, and transgressing the Torah]. And righteousness and truth [of YHWH] were cast down to the ground, and it [the wicked horn] accomplished this [by Divine permission] and prospered.

13Then I heard a holy one [angel] speaking, and another holy [angel]one said to the one that spoke, "For how long is the vision concerning the continual [defense taken away], the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of both the sanctuary and the host [the Saints] to be trampled underfoot?(4)

14And he said to him and to me, For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed and restored.

Daniel 12

The Time of the End

   1"Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.

In Revelation 12, John confirms that Michael was removed from defending the Holy People on Earth to battle Satan in Heaven.  Satan is defeated and cast to Earth and wages war against the Holy People for 3.5 years.

Revelation 12

   1And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:

   2And she being with child cried, travailing in birth, and pained to be delivered.

   3And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

   4And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

   5And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

   6And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.

   7And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

   8And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

   9And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

   10And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

   11And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

   12Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

   13And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.

   14And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

   15And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.

   16And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth.

   17And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of YHWH [Feasts, Torah, Sabbath], and have the testimony of the Messiah Yahusha.
