Aleph Beginning First Taw End Last!

The word made of the letters, Aleph, Taw is written between the word Elohim and the word translated: "the heavens" in Genesis 1:1. It also appears before the word translated: "the earth" where it contains the conjunction "and." There are other places in Scripture where it appears untranslated. It is classed as a "particle." For example, "Enoch walked with Yahweh after he begat, Methusaleh." Genesis 5:18-21. In this it is translated "with" and left untranslated where it appears before Methusaleh. In other places it is translated: of, on, into, from, for, against.The Aleph and TaW, is none other than YAHWEH, the Elohim of Israel! Elohim's absolute perfection is expressed in Isaiah 41:4 and 44:6 by the phrase, "I am the First(Aleph) and I am the Last(Taw); apart from Me there is no Elohim. As the first letter of Emet, Aleph denotes that Yahweh is the First of all beings. There was no one before Him of whom He could have received the fullness of truth. The Taw, or Last letter of the Hebrew alephbeth, in like manner, signifies that Elohim is the Supreme Ultimate being. There is no one higher than He, and there will be no one after Him, since He is Forever Yahweh. The fear of YAHWEH is the beginning of wisdom: all those doing His commandments have good understanding, in applying His commandments: His Praise Endures Forever. Psalms 111:10. HALLELUYAH! Thus Emet is a Sacred word expressing that in Elohim, truth dwells absolutely and fully. Ancient Rabbis called the Taw, the Last letter of the Hebrew alephbeth, "The Seal of Truth", The NAME OF YAHWEH is Kodesh (Holy) and setapart and it is above all names. Revelation states that the angelic Messenger has the seal of the Living One Almighty. Aramaic dialect unique to the Assembly. The Igeret (Epistle) begins with the phrase "Sha'ar Emet Aish d'Miltha", which means "Gate of Truth Fire of the Word", and is followed with a single verse from the Sh'ma. The Igeret is often times referred to as the "Sha'ar Emet". Sha'ar Emet Aish d'Miltha Hear, Israel! Yah is our Elohim. Yah is One. 1 Corinthians 8:6. But, regardless, though the angelic Messengers are the instruments of sealing, the prime Sealer is none other than Yahweh, the Almighty, Himself. Consider this, "Now He which established us with you in the Anointed, and Has anointed us, is Yahweh; who has also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts." 2 Corinthians 1:22.

The origin of the name Enoch is Hebrew :The meaning of the name Enoch is Dedicated: Only a few people will listen to the warning, the same as in the days of Methuselah and the Flood. Read Matthew 24:38, 39. Enoch and Methuselah warned the people before the Flood. Methuselah’s name is made up of the Hebrew words Met, U, and Shelakh, which mean "he shall die," "and," and "it shall be sent." Methuselah’s name was a prophesy in itself of judgment! Today we need more people like Enoch and Methuselah to warn the world of the coming end of this wicked age. Hebrews 11:5; 2 Peter 2:5; Jude 14. Loshon ha’kodesh – the Hebrew language – is of Divine origin. El is Hebrew for EloHim-Shaddai is Hebrew for Almighty.> And El-Shaddai bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and you will certainly become a assembly of peoples. And He will give to you the blessing of Abraham, to you, and to your seed with you, that you may inherit the land of your alien residences, which Elohim has given to Abraham." He is from the El of your father, and he will help you; and he is with the Almighty, and he will bless you with the blessings of the heavens above, with the blessings of the watery deep lying down below, with the blessings of the breasts and womb. Genesis 28:3,4; 49:25 "Thou shalt not have no Elohim before Me. "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.Thou shalt not take the Name of YAHWEH thy Elohim in vain; for YAHWEH will not leave the one guiltless that takes His Name in vain. Exodus 20:3,4,7. "Hashem looked into the letters of the Torah." Having been created by the Almighty, the letters of the alef-beis are inherently Holy; they are the spiritual building blocks of creation and contain infinite depth and wisdom. Baruch HaShem is Hebrew and literally means "Blessed Be the Name". It is the Hebrew way of acknowledging the Divine presence of Yahweh. In other words it a way to say "Blessed be Elohim."Hashem = "fat" a Gizonite, father of some sons who were members of David's mighty warriors. In the Book of Ezekiel and in Daniel chapter 12 verse 3: "And the ones having insight will shine like the brightness of the expanse; and those who are bringing the many to righteousness, like the stars to time indefinite, even forever. "To treat, understand, or merely employ the letters of the Hebrew alephbeth – in the same manner we would any other language – would be an error of immense proportion. The Hebrew alephbeth contains 22 letters. Five letters are written differently at the end of words. The 22 letters plus the final form of the five letters combine to form a complete alephbeth of 27 letters. The 27 letters are divided into three groups of nine characters each in alephbethical order. The letters are given the numbers 1–9,10 – 90, and 100 – 900. The letters and groups are also given special meanings. The first group represents the time before the beginning. The second group represents the time commencing with the manifestation of all things through the Creation process and is our time. The third group represents the final manifestation of Life following the resurrections. This group contains the final form of the five special letters. In other words, each group of letters represents a different phase of a Master plan for Life.

Each of the letters in each of the groups has a meaning that pertains specifically to the state of the process and to archetypes in that group. The first group of letters shows the different aspects of the meditative creation of the grand plan: the creation of Knowledge. The second group of letters shows the archetypes of the creation wherein exists a plurality of both life and death, and good and evil. This represents the time that we live in now. It can be considered the time of the creation of potential and the prototype. The third group of letters shows the reality of the final manifestation of Life, where there is only good and abundance of Life. It shows a future with no death and no evil that is the final Manifestation of that which was conceived before the beginning in the Grand Plan. Aleph(1), Beth(2),Gimel(3), Daleth(4),He(5),Vau(6),Zayin(7),Cheth(8), and Teth(9) contain the original pattern or knowledge (archetype) of what is to be manifested. All ideas and knowledge behind the creation of all things was first formed and is represented by the first nine letters. Yod(10), Caph(20), Lamed(30), Mem(40), Nun(50), Samekh(60), Ayin(70), Pe(80), and Tzaddi(90) are higher states of the first nine. This is middle or temporary manifestation of what is contained in the plan. This state was never intended to last forever and so contains life and death, good and evil. In this time that which is good will pass through this "fire" and be proven to surpass both evil and death. This is the time of Mankind (male and female.) Qoph(100), Resh(200), Shin(300), Taw(400), Final Caph(500), Final Mem(600), Final Nun(700), Final Pe(800), and Final Tzaddi(900) represent the most exalted state conceived of in the first nine. Since a day is like (1,000) years to Yahweh (Psalms 90:4; 2 Peter 3:8) we can see that to Yahweh Adam died physically in a day (Yahweh's Day of 1000 years) as He had warned Adam "..for in the day that thou eat thereof thou shall surely die" (Genesis 2:14,17) but Adam and Eve didn't die immediately, in their own earthly day, but did in their conscience. Through Adam and Eve the stage was set for the eventual birth of a righteous (sinless) Messiah Yahshua the anointed one of Yahweh, to pay for Adam and Eve's disobedience (which is sin) to Yahweh and for every other human being who ever walked the earth (except the Messiah) thus opening the door (John 10:9) back to everlasting life by partaking of the (Tree of Life which is the Living Elohim Yahweh which is also in His Son Yahshua the Messiah (Holy Spirit-Ruach HA Kodesh) and thus enabling a few to enter into the true Paradise of Elohim that is the Most Holy Place in the spiritual plane better known as the Kingdom of Heaven. who serve that which is a copy and shadow of the heavenly things, even as Moses is warned of Elohim when he is about to make the tabernacle: for, See, he said, that thou make all things according to the pattern that was showed thee in the mount. Hebrews 8:5*Revelation 2:7. Those that pass through the middle state and come out purified will shine like the stars and lead the rest of human kind (Man:male and Female:woman) to deathless existence. This is the time that all of creation waits for. It is the time of the Kingdom of ALMIGHTY ELOHIM MELCHIZEDEK KING OF PEACE AND RIGHTEOUSNESS YAHWEH, and the revelation of the Sons and Daughters of Elohim. And it shall come to pass in that day, that YAHWEH shall JUDGE the tsava of the ones on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth. Isaiah 24:21-23. The Millennium is the 1,000 year period when Michael/Yahshua the Son of Yahweh who is Our KING of Peace, will reign from heaven over the new earth with our Prince of Peace who comes in his Father's order to judge as High Priest! Michael is a given name that comes from the Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל / מיכאל‎ (Mikha'el), meaning " Who is like El? Isaiah 9:6. A Prince is a Son of a KING! Revelation 1:17; 20-1:3,4-7. This writing ends the way it begun, side by side, Father and Son..the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." Revelation 22:12,13.

My brothers, as an example of suffering and patience, of the prophets, who spoke in the Name of YAHWEH. See, we call those blessed who endure. You have heard of the endurance of Job and saw the purpose of YAHWEH, that He is very tender in affection and merciful. James 5:10,11. Who Do You Worship? There is no NAME like YAHWEH the Creator of heaven and earth and you. It is an excellent NAME and YAHSHUA came in his ABBA's (FATHER'S) NAME. For their service and their faithfulness, Yahweh promises His Protection to them. Revelation 3:10. Therefore His mercy, patience, is above all a Strong Tower. YAHWEH is the only Name that saves through YAHSHUA. There is no other name that can save. YAHWEH'S NAME is to be Honored and Worshiped in Spirit and Truth above all names and is not to be used or taken in vain or esteemed lightly because he or she will not be held guiltless.

The true pronunciation of YHWH has been lost: The Israelites and the Samaritans use a substitute name for YHWH. The true pronunciation of this name, by which Elohim was known to the Hebrews, has been entirely lost, they scrupulously avoiding every mention of it, and substituting in its stead one of the other of the words with whose vowel-points it may happen to be written. Adonai was substituted for Yahweh. This custom , which had its origin in reverence, and has almost degenerated into a superstition, was founded upon an erroneous rendering of Lev. xxiv. 16, from which it was inferred that the mere utterance of the name constituted a capital offence. In the Rabbinical writings it is distinguished by various euphemistic expressions; as simply "the name," or "the name of four letters" The Samaritans followed the same custom, and in reading the Pentateuch substituted Jehovah ( שׁימא, shema ) "the name," at the same time perpetuating the practice in their alphabetical poems and later writings ( Geiger, Urschrift,&c., p. 262 ). According to tradition, it was pronounced but once a year by the high-priest on the day of Atonement when he entered the Holy of Holies; but on this point there is some doubt, Maimonides ( Mor. Neb. i. 61 ) asserting that the use of the word was confined to the blessings of the priests, and restricted to the sanctuary, without limiting it still further to the high-priest alone. On the same authority we learn that it ceased with Simon the Just ( Yad. Chaz.c.14, §10 ), having lasted through two generations, that of the men of the Great Synagogue and the age of Shemed, while others include the generation of Zedekiah among those who possessed the use of the shem hammephorash ( Midrash on Ps. xxxvi. 11, quoted by Buxtorf in Reland's Decas Exercit. ) But even after the destruction of the second temple we meet with instances of individuals who were in possession of the secret. A certain Bar Kamzar is mentioned in the Mishna ( Yoma iii. §11 ) who was able to write the name of Elohim; but even on such evidence we may conclude, that after the seige of Jerusalem the true pronunciation almost if not entirely disappeared, the probability being that it had been lost long before. Josephus, himself a priest, confesses that on this point he was not permitted to speak ( Ant. ii. 12, §4 ); As for the Father’s Name, the hybrid “Jehovah” came into existence through the ignorance of Christian translators who did not understand the Old Testament Hebrew or NT Hebrew when Yahweh sent forth His Son.

In the Beginning Elohim created the heaven and the earth. Genesis 1:1 - HE'S ETERNAL AND THE BEGINNING AND THE END - The noun ALEPH has 1 sense the 1st letter of the Hebrew alephbeth, named after the sign used to denote them, the Hebrew letter aleph ."You" in Hebrew is: (spelled: aleph, taw) aleph is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, and taw is the last (the TAW Word). First Word alphabetically in the Old Testament Hebrew Abba Father. Abba in Aramaic is an intimate form of "Father" [YAHWEH Elohim the Abba Father, ALEPH & TAW First and Last]. Then Elohim said once more to Moses: "This is what you are to say to the sons of Israel, ‘YAHWEH the Elohim of Your forefathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac and the Elohim of Jacob, has sent me to You.’ This is "MY NAME YAHWEH", this is "MY NAME FOREVER", and this is "MY MEMORIAL"; unto all Generations. Exodus 3:15.

Hebrew is the traditional language of the Hebrews. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alephbeth (commonly referred to as the aleph-beth, after the first two letters, aleph and bet). In addition, the language includes five final letters: When the letters khaf, mem, nun, pey, and tzade are the last letters of a word, they are written differently. Hebrew is a Semitic language -- also like Aramaic--and like most ancient Semitic languages it has no vowels. However, sometime between the middle and end of the first millennium, rabbis known as the Masoretes instituted a system of dots and dashes to indicate how words were to be pronounced. Torah scrolls and most contemporary Hebrew writing are still written without vowels. Unlike English, Hebrew is read and written from right to left. There are numerous types of Hebrew script. The most familiar is the block letters used in Torah scrolls and most printed texts. This was originally referred to as ktav ashuri, or Assyrian script. It is contrasted with ktav ivri, which was an earlier script probably used until a few hundred years prior to the Common Era. The earliest Hebrew texts date from the end of the second millennium BCE. Hebrew was employed as both a written and spoken language until the fall of Jerusalem in 587 BCE. After that, Hebrew was used primarily as a literary and liturgical language and also Aramaic, (except for parts of Ezra and Daniel) is written in Hebrew, as is the Mishnah, the corpus of the Law edited during the second and third century CE. ??? The Gemara--books of rabbinic legal discussions interpreting the Mishnah--is largely written in Aramaic with some Hebrew, while during the medieval period, literature is written primarily in a combination of Hebrew and Aramaic. Exodus 5:22-6:8: YAHWEH Names His Purpose, Yahshua YES AND HE BEARS THE NAME! Exodus 23:20,21 AND AGAIN Zechariah 14:1-4. Joshua meaning (YAHWEH SAVES) ! in Numbers 11:28 and also in the book of Joshua in the OT. Also as one with Yahshua which the name of the Messiah Yahshua means (YAHWEH IS SALVATION)! The time period of this book is immediately after the captivity in Babylon. Babylon’s language is Aramaic. [For this reason part of Daniel was written in Aramaic. This is why the high priest of that day, in Ezra and Nehemiah was called by his Aramaic name (Joshua) rather than Yahshua which is Hebrew. Later in Zechariah 3 when this same high priest is referred to, he is called Joshua (Yahshua) the Hebrew equivalent for Yahshua will reign as High Priest not Joshua. Since Hebrew began to use the Aramaic script during their captivity in Babylon, it is hard to know when they are using an Aramaic spelling rather than a Hebrew spelling, especially since Hebrew does have a word spelled the same way. Elohim is not a man, that He should lie; Neither the Son of mankind that He should feel regret. Has He Himself said it and will He not do it, And Has He spoken and will He not carry it out? Numbers 23:19. Vengeance is Mine, and Retribution. At the appointed time their foot will move unsteadily, For the day of their disaster is near, And the events in readiness for them do make haste.’ For YAHWEH will Judge His people And He will feel no regret over His servants, Because He will see that support has disappeared And there is only a helpless and worthless one. Deuteronomy 32:35,36. "YOU are YAHWEH alone; YOU Yourself made the heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their tsava', the earth and all things through him the heaven and earth all that is upon it, the seas and all that is in them; and YOU are preserving them alive; and the tsava of the heavens Worship YOU. Nehemiah 9:6. For the Father judges no man, but has committed all judgment unto His Son. They that reject Me, and receives not My words, has One that judges them: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. John 5:22;12:48 * Because He has appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom He has ordained; whereof He has given assurance unto all men, in that He raised him from the dead. Acts 17:31 * but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurers up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of Elohim; Romans 2:5 * which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of Elohim; to the end that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of Elohim, for which you also suffer: if so be that it is righteous with Yahweh to recompense affliction to them that afflict you, and to you that are afflicted rest with us, at the revelation of the Master Yahshua from heaven with the angels of his power in flaming fire, rendering vengeance to them that know not Yahweh, and to them that did not obey our Master Yahshua: 2 Thessalonians 1:5-8.

Still many of the OT and NT names had either YAHWEH'S name incorperated in them or titles of Him, also meanings of His Will. Many of the Scriptures in the OT and NT form out personification, doesn't mean it may refer to a person or people, as wisdom also cries out. Proverbs 1:20-23.......etc. Translators of the scriptures removed Yahweh's name and His Son's. Leading Bible scholars admit that today's translations are quite different from the original writings. They have found more than 20,000 errors in the most popular translations. In many of today's versions, words and phrases have been added or deleted, making it nearly impossible to understand the true meaning of many crucial verses. The Scriptures were first written in Hebrew, and then translated into Aramaic, then Greek, then Latin and finally to English. When translated from one language to another footnotes were added. The copyists, scribes, and translators would write footnotes in their manuscripts of the Bible which would later be included in the text by other copyists as their interpretations when there is no private interpretation? knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation. For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spoke from Yahweh, being moved by His Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:20,21. And YAHWEH created Michael/Yahshua before the heavens and the earth as the Beginning of His Way. YAHWEH created me in the Beginning of His way, before His works of old. I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. Proverbs 8:22,23. Personification is "A rhetorical figure of speech in which inanimate objects or abstractions are endowed or more specifically in Greatness the will of Yahweh. Personification is found throughout the Scriptures with endless examples of mountains clapping and stars singing. "Wind yells while blowing" is an example of personification because wind cannot yell. Only a living thing can yell, personification is also amplified in poetry. Personification of inanimate objects has been a part of humanity since the dawn of time. However, personification of inanimate objects was not only practiced by ancients; it is still practiced today as well. But in all these things we know by way of human experience that they are not at times really people. Indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed. Genesis 22:17,18. The Holy Spirit also is not a person as Yahweh does as He wills. When referenced, the Holy Spirit is always the masculine "HE". Not so with mountains and stars. The Holy Spirit is directly called the power of Yahweh. And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that which is holy shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of YAHWEH. Luke 1:35. In the Scriptures. Riches, avarice, and worldly gain personified as idol god's in the New Testament, often mammon Material wealth regarded as having an evil influence. Luke 16:13 * 1 Timothy 6:10,11 "But thou, O man of YAHWEH, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, reverence, faith, love, patience, meekness".

The fear of YAHWEH is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do His commandments: His praise endures forever. Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endures forever. Psalms 111:10; 119:60. Do not say: "Just as they did to me, so I am going to do to them. I Shall Repay to each one according to heart." Proverbs 24:29. I have seen the travail, which Elohim has given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. He has made every thing beautiful in His time: also He has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that Elohim made from the beginning to the end. Ecclesiastes 3:10,11. ABBA!

And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellers as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city. Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? Remember the former things of old: for I am El, and there is none else; I am Elohim, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure: For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O Elohim, beside thee, what He has prepared for them that wait for Him. Isaiah 1:26,27; 40:21; 46:9,10; 64:4. Read Matthew 20:8,16;22:14 & John 15:1-24,45-52 & 1 Thessalonians 4:16.

"Howl, you people, for the Day of YAHWEH is at hand; it shall come from the Almighty! Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth and I shall remove her out of her place, in the wrath of YAHWEH of Tsava', and in the day of His fierce anger. "But to whom can you people liken Me so that I should be made his equal?" Says the Holy One. "Lift up Your eyes high up and see. Who has Created these? It is the One who is bringing forth the tsava, of them even by number, all of whom He calls even by name. Due to the Greatness of His Almighty Name and to the abundance of His Sovereignty, He also being vigorous in Power, not one of them is missing. "For what reason do you say, O Jacob, and do you speak out, O Israel, ‘My way has been hid from YAHWEH, and my justice is passed over from my Elohim? Have you not come to know or have you not heard? YAHWEH, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not, neither grows weary? There is no searching of His understanding. He is our Elohim to time indefinite. Who has been and has done this, calling out the generations from the start? "I, YAHWEH, the First One; and with the Last One I am the same." Who has declared from the Beginning anything from the First, that we may know, or from times past, that we may say, He is the Last, ‘He is right’? Really there is no one telling. Really there is no one causing one to hear. Really there is no one that is hearing any sayings of You men." Isaiah 13:6,13; 40:22-28; 41:4,26.

"You are my witnesses," is the utterance of YAHWEH, "even My servant whom I have chosen, in order that You may know and have faith in Me, and that You may understand that I am the same One. Before Me there was no El formed, and after me there continued to be none, until I formed one, before the Creation of the heavens and the earth. I am YAHWEH, and besides me there is no Savior." "This is what YAHWEH has said the KING of Israel, and his Redeemer, YAHWEH of Tsava', ‘I am the First, and I am the Last; and besides Me there is no Elohim. Even to one’s old age I am the same One; and to one’s gray-headedness I Myself shall keep bearing up. "This is what YAHWEH has said, the King of Israel and the Redeemer of him, YAHWEH of Tsava', ‘I am the First and I am the Last, and besides Me there is no Elohim. I Myself shall certainly act, that I Myself may carry and that I Myself may bear up and furnish escape. Heed unto Me, O Jacob and Israel, My called; I am He; I am the First, I also am the Last. I have declared the former things from the Beginning; and they went forth out of My mouth, and I showed them; I did them suddenly, and they came to pass. I have even from the beginning declared it to thee; before it came to pass I showed it thee: least thou should say, Mine idol has done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, has commanded them. My hand also has laid the foundations of the earth, and he at My right hand also has spanned the heavens: when I called unto him, the 'kokaubeam' Praised Me and stood up together. Come you near unto Me, hear you this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Master YAHWEH, and His Spirit, has sent me. Isaiah 43:10,11; 44:6; 46:4,6; 48:3,5,12,13,16.

Based on what is revealed in the Hebrew Scriptures, "ALEPH BEGINNING! TAW END!" does certainly fit the ALMIGHTY YAHWEH. At Isaiah 55:8-13, we are told: For My Thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My Ways, says YAHWEH. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My Ways Higher than your ways, and My Thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returns not thither, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So Shall My Word be that goes forth out of My Mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where to I sent it. For you shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to YAHWEH for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. "How forcefully this emphasizes that whatever YAHWEH expresses will be brought to a complete perfect finish!

THE FIRST AND THE LAST! NO BEGINNING AND NO END! THE ALMIGHTY YAHWEH!

ALEPH BEGINNING! TAW END!

It is interesting how people will change someone’s name in translation. In France, a man who would introduce himself as Frank, would not be Francois. Frank is his name regardless of what country he is in, or how the language is written. It is possible when writing a name in another language that there are not equivalent sounds available. Thus, a name may be written slightly differently in that language. Even so, I would attempt to teach people how to say my name as it was given even to a child. One should not get hung up on another’s incapability. A friend of mine was raised in another country and her native language is not close to English. She never has pronounced my name correctly and it does not bother me. Accents do vary a pronunciation. When she "incorrectly" addresses me, I still know she is talking to me, and it would be rude to ignore her until she got it right. Most people are familiar with the fact that Jesus is not the given name of the Messiah. Jesus is an English transliteration of a Latin transliteration of a Greek transliteration. The literal translation of "Iesous" is "Hail, Zeus!" Tarsus means Sweat of Zeus ......Dionysus, the Son of Zeus......Ephesus......Jesus or Iesous. The word Jesus is the Latin form of the Greek Iesous. Origin of the word Christ. A look at the word "Christmas" indicates that it is a mixture. Though it includes the word Christ, it also mentions the "mass." Now the mass – with its rituals, elaborate ceremony, pagan prayers for the dead, transubstantiation rites, the Mass, is connected with the name and word Christ in the word "Christ-mas", we immediately see an attempt to merge two conflicting systems together! Actually, to attach the name Christ with the word "Mass", is a pagan and heathenistic ritual.Many people accept "Jesus" as the correct modern English translation of the name "Yahshua." The fact is that IF it is in fact a correct translation, then that's exactly what it is,... a TRANSLATION. Before the 1600's, "Jesus" was pronounced closer to the way the LATIN-OS (LATINOS) pronounce it today (Hey-ZEUS). This also begs a question as to why/when they decided to change the long "u" sound as in truth, (Zeus), to the short "u" sound, as in lust, (Jesus). In English or Hebrew, the name "Jesus" did not exist until the 1600's and Yahshua was the name that Miriam (Mary) received from Gabri-el, at the commandment of Yah, to name her son,... AND,... the name that the disciples preached in. This is a FACT whether we want to accept it or not. The Messiah is Yahshua. It is rather well accepted that Yahshua is the name given to the Messiah at birth. If the Peshitta was written in Hebrew that would settle the question; but the Peshitta is written in Syriac, a derivation of Aramaic. Thus, the transliteration into English is Eshoo. Syriac uses a different script than Aramaic, but the words are basically the same as the Aramaic of that time period. This brings to mind the verse Matthew 1:21 which the Messiah was named. It says, "..call his name Yahshua, for he shall save his people. For example, what did Yahshua and others mean by statements that don't make good sense in Greek (Or English) but are powerful in the Hebrew? Such expressions include: "If your eye is evil" (Matthew 6:23); "let the dead bury the dead" (Matthew 8:22); "for if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry" (Luke 23:31), and "thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head" (Paul in Romans 12:20). Numerous examples of Semitic poetry and reverse couplets (chiasmus) are dead giveaways to the original Hebrew of these books. Hebrew is also distinct for its colorful descriptions of simple, common acts. For example, a beautiful expression in classical Hebrew is found in Luke 16:23: "...he lift up his eyes...and saw..." Other sayings peculiar to Hebrew and found in the Gospels include: "Lay these sayings in your years," "Cast out your name as evil," "He set his face to go," and "The appearance of his countenance was altered." Whole sentences or paragraphs in the New Testament can be retranslated word for word back into the Hebrew. Luke 10:5-6 is just one example: "And into whatsoever house you enter, first say, Peace be to this house. And if the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again." This passage is a synthesis of vivid Hebrew idioms unknown in the Greek. Names should not be neither translated nor transliterated! When you transliterate a name from one language to another, then you're taking the letters/symbols of one language and replacing it with the letters/symbols of another language. In the second language, you end up having a word that has a very different meaning in that language. Names, especially Hebrew names have meaning. Here in America, news broadcasts always call foreign people by their original names in their own tongues. Sometimes names are contracted or shortened but it's shortened from it's own original tongue.

Yahshua said: the hour is coming, and now is, when true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeks such to worship Him. Elohim is Spirit: and they that worship Him Must worship Him in spirit and in truth. John 4:23,24. Yahshua also said:"If You love me, You will observe my commandments; and I will request of my Father and He will give You another Helper to be with YOU forever, the Spirit of the Truth, which the world cannot receive, because it neither beholds it nor knows it. YOU know it, because it remains with YOU and is in YOU. I shall not leave You bereaved. I am coming to You. A little longer and the world will behold me no more, but You will behold me, because I live and You will live. In that day YOU will know that I am in unity with my Father and YOU are in unity with me and I am in unity with YOU. Those that have keep these commandments and observes them, that one is who loves me. In turn those that love me will be loved by my Father, and I will love them and will plainly show myself to those." John 14:15-21. The Almighty Father seeks those that Worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, we must sincerely seek Him, praying for His Truth, which His Son shared.

The Almighty is described as the ALEPH & TAW, with no beginning and no end. Aleph Taw ~ ALEPH & TAW ~This would be similar to referring to someone in English as A to Z.,,,BUT IT TAINT IN ENGLISH...OR GREEK....Idiom and its meaning, based on the First and Last. The beginning and the end. In the New Testament, aleph is the first letter and taw is the last. We should know what the Greeks did, to the New Testament it's not Greek moreso, its (Religion traditions of men)......and what any other culture has done to the Truth of Father and His Son. The Jews reject the Messiah; the Christians reject the Law. Yet we read in Revelation 12:17 and 14:12 that faith in both is necessary for salvation. The Apostle John wrote in I John 3:4 that sin is the breaking of the Law. If the Law has been “done away,” as they suppose, then there would be no law to break, hence, no sin.

And when Yahshua had cried out with a loud voice, he said, Abba, into Thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, his spirit went back to the Spirit that gave him life, thence he expired. Luke 23:46. We must walk in all the truth we are given. When we fully accept the truth revealed to us, it is our responsibility to act. Abundant proof exists that Yahweh and Yahshua are the correct and only names of our Father and His Son. In the beginning Elohim created the heaven and the earth. And Elohim said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Genesis 1:1,26. The Messiah Yahshua said in a parable: A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, those that have ears to hear, let them hear. And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? And he said, Unto you it is given to know the sacred secrets of the kingdom of YAHWEH: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of YAHWEH. Those by the way side are they that hear; then comes the devil, and takes away the word out of their hearts, least they should believe and be saved. They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away. And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection. But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. No one, when they light a candle, covers it with a basket, or puts it under a bed; but sets it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light. For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad. Take heed therefore how You hear: for whosoever has, to them shall be given; and whosoever has not, from them shall be taken even that which seem to have. Then came to him his mother and his brethren, but were unable to come close to him because of the crowd. And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of YAHWEH, and do it. Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth. But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy. And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm. And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commands even the winds and water, and they obey him. Luke 8:5-25. In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with YAHWEH, and the Word was YAHWEH. He existed in the beginning with YAHWEH. Through (Michael/Yahshua) him all [other] things were made, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made. John 1:1-3. TRN-KJV & ISV. These are the names revealed in His Word through His inspired prophets and His Son. We cannot improve on the direct command to praise Him by the Name He Himself gave to us. "Salvation comes through no one else, for there is no other Name in the whole world, given to men, to which we must look for our salvation." Acts 4:12. For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. Romans 8:15. Last Word alphabetically in the Old Testament Hebrew Gift. [e.g. of Salvation.]. First Word alphabetically in the New Testament Aramaic. (1) First; (one) unity." Last Word alphabetically in the New Testament Helpful, propitious Hand (ALEPH AND TAW) majuscule: O, TAW) is the 24th and last letter of the Greek alphabet?

It is meaning the ending, the last and the completion finale, as in the book of Revelation. The Almighty is described as the ALEPH and TAW, beginning and end. Idiom and its meaning, based on the First and Last. The beginning and the end. In the New Testament, aleph is the first letter and taw is the last. "Hebrew was the language of Yudah and Galilee in the first century. The Hebrew letter "Yowd" (Y) and the "He' (hay) have always been a part of Yahudah's name, pronounced as "Yah." The Scriptural people of the tribe of Yahudah carried the name of the Creator YAHWEH "Yah" in their name meaning "Yah be praised" (Genesis 29: 35)." The word Jew(s), and the word Jewish, or the word Judaism, does not include the name of the Almighty Creator (YAH-WEH). Its sister language, Aramaic, remained the secondary tongue and the language of commerce. Hebrews in this area were not Greek-speaking. Their revulsion to the Greeks and the Greek language derives from the fact that the Maccabees had just defeated the Greeks and driven them and their pagan defilement from the Temple and Palestine.

The Greeks simply transliterated the Hebrew word "Yahudah(s)" into the like-sounding letters of their Greek language. The meaning is generally one who is a resident of the Southern Kingdom, of any nationality (a subject), but in some cases it could mean one who is a literal descendant of Yahudah, depending on context. Modern Jewish people are called Jewish from their religion which is called Jewishism, or Judaism. There is no relationship of the Jews, by race or religion, with the Scriptural Yahudi of the tribe of Israel that was called Yahudah. The word Jew is not found in the Hebrew, Aramaic, but in many English Bibles the word Jewish has become associated with a rendering of the Latin word Judaeus, which was a translation of the Greek word Ioudaios, the Aramaic word Yahudain, and the Hebrew word Yahudah. Although not found in either the Hebrew, or Aramaic. Latin word Judaeus, a Latin translation of the Hebrew word Yahudah. As translated, it is referring to one of the tribes of Israel (Yisrael) named after one of the 12 sons of Jacob. The word Jews, the plural of the word Jew, is incorrectly translated most often from the word Hebrew Yahudi, descendants of the tribe named after Yahudah.

The fundamental flaw of the NWT is this insertion of the word Jehovah 237 times into the New Testament. The Watchtower justifies this insertion by claiming all known New Testament manuscripts are inaccurate. This is vitally important because such a claim undermines the integrity of the Scriptures. If YAHWEH was unable to prevent the removal of His own Name from the New Testament without trace, what else was He unable to prevent being changed? On the other hand, if this Watchtower claim is wrong and the word Jehovah never appeared in the New Testament this change makes Watchtower doctrine incorrect by: Creating a false sense of importance on using the word Jehovah. Changing the meaning of importantance of the Name of Elohim ie. YAHWEH in the Old Testament and the New Testament passages. The story changes when explaining why the Watchtower Society added the word Jehovah into the Old and New Testament, alleging the removal of YHWH from the New Testament during the second century? The Tetragrammaton is written in the ancient Hebrew (Paleo-Hebrew) script. There are other early fragments that also contain the Sacred Name in like manner. According to scholars, no copies of the Septuagint dated before the mid-2nd century CE/AD substitutes the Tetragrammaton (YAHWEH'S Name) with "Kyrios" (the Greek word LORD = BAAL) or for that matter giving Yahshua the Son of YAHWEH, also the Greek word Lord = baal. >>>>>> Link >>>>>> http://www.paleotimes.org/articles/BaalvsLord.htm

"We now know that the Greek text [the Septuagint] as far as it was written by Jews?.......for Jews did not translate the Divine Name by kyrios; but the Tetragrammaton, written with Hebrew or Aramiac letters, was retained in such MSS [manuscripts]. It was the Christians who replaced the Tetragrammaton by kyrios, when the Divine Name written in Hebrew letters was not understood any more? Which the Jehovah's Witnesses claim to be no part of Christiandom? (The Cairo Geniza, Oxford, 1959, p. 222). Thesaurus Terms beginning with Ku - Kz Melkite Greek Catholic......The words written in Greek, Latinized Anglicized, Latin, English, and Arabic Anglicized...... Kyrios. In both the East and West philosophers, mystics, and scholars have a concept behind the whole Universe. This concept represents what moves, governs, and holds all existence together. In the East they named this concept the “Tao” meaning “The Way”. In the West they called this concept “Logos” meaning “divine mind” (loosely translated). Bethel , meaning "House of El" or "House of Elohim", Hebrew: בֵּית אֵל, also transliterated Beth El, Beth-El, or Beit El; (Bethel) was a border city described in Hebrew in the OT as being located between Benjamin and Ephraim. Bethel is mentioned in vairious books in the OT. Amos 5:5 - But do not seek Bethel, Nor enter Gilgal, Nor pass over to Beersheba; For Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, And Bethel shall come to nothing. Also, Amos 7:13 - Don't prophesy anymore at Bethel, because this is the king's sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom. The prophets are believed to have called Bethel, Beth-aven > (Hosea 4:15; 5:8;10:5; Amos 5:5). If this is the case, then "in antiquity, > the location became confused." It's not the prophets that are confused. Bethel is the second most commonly mentioned OT city (after Jerusalem) so I doubt anybody confused it with anything. When Bethel is called "Beth Awen" it is a nickname used to highlight the spiritual state of Bethel; Bethel (= house of Elohim) has become Beth Awen (= house of iniquity, at least according to one meaning of Awen). House of El, or Sign of Apostasy? Is there a figurative golden calf and altar today at a place called Bethel that was conveniently placed to dissuade people from worshipping Elohim at His true temple? Is there a "man of the true Elohim" with class distinctions today that is being used by Elohim to express His disapproval of this false worship at Bethel and is courageously pronoucing Elohim's impending judgement against the altar podium used in connection with this idolatry? Is there a danger that this "man of the true Elohim" could be misled by an old false prophet of Bethel by means of a supposed "angelic" message and with disastrous consequences? Could Bethel today be viewed at Beth-aven (House of Hurtfulness) due to its religious corruption and its false prophet practices? Revelation 3:14-18

When the Messiah Yahshua said “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life” (John 14:6), he wasn’t claiming religious supremacy as many fundamentalist would claim, he was identifying himself as the Way to his Father Yahweh and His divine will or “ultimate truth” the world had already been searching for, but rejected. Many Bibles in Asia translate “Word” in John 1:1-5 as “Tao”. In fact, what we translate as “Word” comes from the Greek word “Logos”, so to translate “Logos” into “Tao” in Eastern Bibles is very inappropriate. As Christian mystics, the concepts of the Tao and Logos are associated with Greek and pagan myths unimportant as they do not illustrate the eternal nature of Father or the unique nature of His Son. The "Word" of YHWH was added as word of "God" and was substituted with the Greek Kurios (Lord) which means Baal, as in the Latin Vulgate where "the word" was substituted with Dominus. For years, this was accepted as a "title" ? How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal. Jeremiah 23:26-27

Now the Messiah is of the Hebrew lineage (Matthew 2:1; Hebrews 7:14; Revelation 5:5), so it follows that he must have a Hebrew name and title, as prophesied by the law and prophets. Generally the name of a baby born to a certain race and culture reflects the father’s name in that culture. For example, a Chinese baby born of Chinese parents would be given the father’s Chinese name; a Russian baby born of Russian parents would be given the father’s Russian name; and so forth. The mindful question to ask is, how could the Messiah, born a Hebrew, have the Greek name and title Lord or Jesus Christ? The Messiah spoke of this in John 5:43. "I am come in my Father’s name, and you receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive." "Then Yahshua said to the crowds and to his disciples, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat; therefore, do whatever they teach you and follow it; but do not do as they do, for they do not practice what they teach. "But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against mankind: for you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer you them that are entering to go in. Matthew 23:1-3,5,13 ......Sure sounds like religious zealots to me in all earthly temples. And Yahshua answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am the Messiah; and shall deceive many. And you shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. Then if any man shall say unto you, Look, here is the Messiah, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false messiahs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the (earthly temples)>>>>>> inner chambers; believe it not. Matthew 24:4-6,23-26. But he spoke of the temple of his body. John 2:21. Know you not that you are the temple of YAHWEH, and that the Spirit of YAHWEH dwells in you?

Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, You men of Athens, I perceive that in all things you are superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN MIGHTY ONE. Whom therefore you ignorantly worship, him declare I unto 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 anything, seeing He gives to all life, and breath, and all things; And Has made of one blood for all nations of mankind to dwell on the face of the earth, and Has determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek Him, if possibly they might seek 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 is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. And the times of such ignorance YAHWEH overlooked; but now commandeth all mankind everywhere to repent: Because He has appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world 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." Acts 17:22-31.

And YAHWEH has both raised up Yahshua, and will also raise up us by His own power through the Messiah. Know you not that your bodies are the members of the Messiah? Shall I then take the members of the Messiah, and make them the members of a harlot? By no means. What? know you not that he which is joined to a harlot is one body? For two, says He, shall be one flesh. But they that are joined unto YAHWEH be One Spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that mankind does is without the body; but they that commit fornication sin against their own body. What? know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have of YAHWEH, and you are not your own? 1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:14-19. And what concord has the Messiah Yahshua with Belial? or what part have they that believe with infidels? And what agreement has the temple of YAHWEH with idols? for you are the temple of the living Elohim; as YAHWEH has 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 you separate, says YAHWEH, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and you shall be My sons and daughters, says YAHWEH the Almighty. 2 Corinthians 6:16-18. And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Yahshua the Messiah himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an Holy temple in YAHWEH:In whom You also are builded together for an habitation of Elohim through the Spirit. Ephesians 2:20-22. And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, My people, that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of her plagues. For her sins have reached unto heaven, and YAHWEH has remembered her iniquities. Revelation 18:5,5. GET OUT OF RELIGION!

Yahweh-Nissi—Yahweh Is My Banner,Tent, or Yahweh Is My Refuge; Pronounced "Yäh-wey' Nis-si", the name and title appears in the Old Testament only once in Exodus 17:15: "Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Yahweh our Banner [Yahweh-Nissi]." Which is a Title for Yahweh! Yahweh-Nissi is undoubtedly the victory granted by Yahweh. Amoung many other titles..Moses built the altar to memorialize that Yahweh was Israel's banner under which they had defeated the Amalekites. In addition to the single employment of the compound title in Exodus 17:15, the word "nissi", meaning "banner", appears in.. Psalm 60:4 — YOU have given a banner [nissi] to those who fear YOU, that it may be displayed because of the truth. Selah. Song of Solomon 2:4 — He brought me to the banquet hall. His banner [nissi] over me is love. He will lift up a banner [nissi] to the nations from far, and He will sound the trumpet for them from the end of the earth. Behold, they will come speedily and swiftly. Isaiah 5:26.

It must be noted, that the letter 'J' was not in general use until after the 16th century as is now used in many English Bibles to form the incorrect Biblical word 'Jew' also as well as Jehovah and Jesus. In some English Bibles we have received from the translators, the word Juda. This is also an error in translation because the word derives from the Greek Iudaios, which in the English would be Judaios. Judaios was none other then a Greek pagan diety. "The name of YAHshua has been replaced by the names of G-zeus (Jesus), and Ea-zeus meaning healing zeus (Iesus, and Iesous) which are pagan in origin." "In 1944, W. G. Waddell discovered the remains of an Egyptian papyrus scroll, (Papyrus Fuad 266), dating to the first or second century C.E., which included part of the Septuagint. In no instance, however, was YHWH translated kyrios. Instead the Tetragrammaton itself-- in square Aramaic letters -- was written into the Greek text? This parallels the Qumran Covenanters' use of the paleo-Hebrew script for the Divine Name in a document which was otherwise written in square Aramaic script. . . " "The Divine Name, YAHWEH, was and is the most Sacred Name word in the Hebrew and Aramaic language.

"Hebrew was the language of Yudah and Galilee in the first century. Its sister language, Aramaic, remained the secondary tongue and the language of commerce. Hebrews in this area were not Greek-speaking. Their revulsion to the Greeks and the Greek language derives from the fact that the Maccabees had just defeated the Greeks and driven them and their pagan defilement from the Temple and Palestine. The eminent first century Jew historian, priest, and scholar Josephus admitted that he could not speak Greek fluently and that the Hebrews frowned on any Israelite who did. He said: I have also taken a great deal of pains to obtain the learning of the Greeks, and understanding the elements of the Greek language although I have so long accustomed myself to speak our own language, that I cannot pronounce Greek with sufficient exactness: for our nation does not encourage those that learn the languages of many nations" (Antiquities, 20:11:2). If this illustrious scholar was unable to speak Greek sufficiently, how could the uneducated disciples write their books in Greek? From what we've learned, why would they even want to do so? For the Word of YAHWEH is quicker, and powerful, and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is not a creation that is not manifest to His sight, but all things are naked and openly exposed to the eyes of Him with whom we have an accounting. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Yahshua the Son of YAHWEH, let us hold fast our professing of him. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of favour, that we may obtain mercy, and find favour to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:12-16.

Understanding basic truth is to know that YAHWEH in the Hebrew is He who made A Covenant and through (Yahshua) His Son in whom to bring the truth. How much of a Gentile should the True Worshiper be who is bathing in Scriptures first delivered to Hebrew patriarchs, Hebrew prophets, Hebrew apostles and lived by a Savior sent forth from the human lineage of king David? Paul was no champion of the Gentile cause. He was the champion of a Hebrew Messiah with great zeal YAHWEH saw in him to write 14 books or letters and he also quoted like the Messiah did, the Scriptures given in the Hebrew Old Testament. These were what he taught in his letters. Note: "But this I confess unto you, that after the way which they call heresy, so I worship the YAHWEH of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the Law and in the Prophets" (Acts 24:14). "Law and prophets" refers to the Old Testament and New Testament Scriptures. Which culture, world-view, and mentality should prevail among True Worshipers today? A Greek-gentile heritage? Or the birthright of those grafted into the promised of Israel established by our Heavenly Father YAHWEH Himself? Paul wrote to the assembly at Rome, "Who are Israelites; to whom pertains the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of YAHWEH, and the promises" (Romans 9:4). That they would ask for mercies of Elohim concerning this secret; that Daniel and his fellows should not perish with the rest of the men of Babylon. Daniel 2:18. But has lifted up thyself against the Master of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before thee, and thou, and thy masters, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou has praised the idols of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the Elohim in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, has thou not glorified: Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written. And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; Elohim has numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. Daniel 5:23-28.

Although Daniel 5:25-28 interprets this legendary handwriting on the wall as, to paraphrase, " Elohim YAHWEH, Has numbered (mene) your kingdom, weighed (mene) it and found it wanting (tekel - could be understood in Hebrew as found to be light-weight), and divided (u-pharshin) it among the Medians and the Persians," no one can be sure what was originally intended. The consensus is that both mene and tekel are Aramaic renderings of the Hebrew weight units mina and shekel; but upharsin could well refer to a yet smaller unit and also serve as a pun on the name "Persia" which to a native at the time was "Parsa." Monotheism was first consolidated in the nation of Judah by King Josiah (reigned 641-609 BCE). But soon thereafter, the Chaldeans sacked Jerusalem and forced the Hebrews into exile in Babylon (597-538 BCE), under king Nebuchadrezzar II (605-562 BCE) and his successors. This captivity culminated in the syncretion of proto-Judaism with the Zoroastrianism of their Persian liberator. Zoroastrianism, founded 750 BCE, is incidentally but one representative of the descendents of a common prehistoric Indo-European religion; among the other representative mythologies are Hindu, Norse, Greek, and Roman. Zoroastrianism contributes into saying Eden was a myth the very word “paradise”, deriving from the Avestan (Old Persian) pairidaēza. This was the term used in Zoroastrian Persia to refer to the king's enclosed garden parks. The Hebrew in Genesis 2:8 for “garden of Eden” is gan-be'Eden — gan signifies not just a garden, but a walled garden, and Eden is not just a proper name, but a Hebrew term for “delight”. The garden motif even draws direct inspiration from Nebuchadrezzar II, who (according to legend) built “hanging gardens” in Babylon to please his homesick wife Amyitis, daughter of Median king Cyaxares (625-585 BCE). The Medes commanded a vast and verdant pre-Persian, partly Zoroastrian empire east of Chaldea, and the marriage cemented an alliance of the two empires. In fact the Old Persian pairidaēza is believed to have its root in the Mede language, which was in any case quite similar to Old Persian and the other Indo-Iranian languages of the region.

Aramaic is the language of the descendants of Aram, the fifth son of Shem, Noah’s eldest son. By the 7-8th century B.C.E. Aramaic was the "imperial language" of the Assyrian and Babylonian empires, and was used by the Persians who succeeded them for ruling their western provinces. During this period it was the predominant language of the Fertile Crescent. References to the use of Aramaic speech can be found in places such as 2 Kings 18:26, Ezra 4:7, Then Eliakim, Shebna and Joah said to the field commander, "Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it. Don't speak to us in Hebrew in the hearing of the people on the wall. "But the commander replied, "Was it only to your master and you that my master sent me to say these things, and not to the men sitting on the wall--who, like you, will have to eat their own filth and drink their own urine? "Then the commander stood and called out in Hebrew, "Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria! This is what the king says: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you. He cannot deliver you! Isaiah 36:11-14, and in Daniel 2:4. The eminent first century Jewish historian, priest, and scholar Josephus admitted that he could not speak Greek fluently and that the Jews frowned on any Jew who did.

If Christianity was supported in any era or if it was what "YAHWEH sought in His children," or even spoke of, it would of been mentioned and written as so in the OT and NT, but its not. The Messiah Yahshua nor his apostles, prophets or his earthly family, and his followers never mentioned the word Christian.....look into Constantine and Christianity be honest with yourself. Acknowledge that it does not derive its faith from Hebrew & Aramaic, and does from Greco-Latin Roman traditions and translations. That its salvation comes from a Savior who came as a Hebrew not to establish a new religion but to build on what went before. Yahshua and the Scriptures are Hebrew and he also spoke Aramaic. Seek this one pivotal truth that was taught by the Messiah, and the real understanding of the Scriptures! Isaiah 65:17-25. The true Hebrew Covenant of YAHWEH – everlasting life through His Hebrew named Son Yahshua ha’Meshiyah is at last being revealed." And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, and made white, but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the ones having insight shall understand." Daniel 12:9,10. 2 Peter 3:10-18.

Most scholars agree Aramaic, Greek, and Hebrew, were the common spoken languages in Palestine at the time of the Messiah. (Latin proclamations and inscriptions were utilized by the various Roman officials.) While the role of Greek during this period is undisputed and self-evident, the role of Aramaic is a bit foggy to some. Still more unclear is the rarely discussed Hebrew. The Scriptures in Aramaic and Hebrew are worthy of a closer look. A cursory look of the New Testament translations provides us with references to "Aramaic" and "Hebrew" such as the following: Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. When Pilate heard this, he brought Yahshua out and sat down on the judge's seat at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic is Gabbatha). It was the day of Preparation of Passover Week, about the sixth hour. "Here is your king," Pilate said to the Jews. But they shouted, "Take him away! Take him away! Impale him!" "Shall I impale your king?" Pilate asked. "We have no king but Caesar," the chief priests answered. Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be impaled. So the soldiers took charge of Yahshua. Carrying his own stake, he went out to the place of the Skull (which in Aramaic is called Golgotha). Here they impaled him, and with him two others-- one on each side and Yahshua in the middle. Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the stake. It read: Yahshua of Nazareth, the king of the Israelites. Many of the Israelites read this sign, for the place where Yahshua was impaled was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. Still Greek and Latin was not the tongue in which Yahshua spoke. Yahshua said to her, "Mary." She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means Teacher). John 5:2; 19:13-20; 20:16.

"YAHWEH has not given His Son," any other name other than Yahshua. The name Yahshua literally means "YAHWEH is Salvation." So, Yahshua's own name really just magnifies YAHWEH'S Name. Yahshua said that "YAHWEH loved the world so much that He gave His only-begotten Son." John 3:16. In other words, YAHWEH made the provision for Salvation by sacrificing Yahshua. That is how YAHWEH gave us the name of Yahshua. No one gave YAHWEH life, but He gives life to all others, including His firstborn and only-begotten Son. YAHWEH is the ultimate First and Last, in that He is the only One in existence that had no beginning nor end. No genealogy and, He alone innately possesses Immortality and Life in Himself.

Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but yield place to the wrath; for it is written: "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, says YAHWEH." But, "if your enemy is hungry, feed them; if thirsty, give them something to drink; for by doing this you will heap fiery coals upon their head." Do not let yourself be conquered by evil, but keep conquering the evil with the good. Romans 12:19-21. For if we practice sin willfully after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, but [there is] a certain fearful expectation of judgment and [there is] a fiery jealousy that is going to consume those in opposition. Anyone that has disregarded the Law of Moses dies without compassion, upon the testimony of two or three. Of how much more severe a punishment, do You think, will those be counted worthy who have trampled upon the Son of YAHWEH and who has esteemed as of ordinary value the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and who has outraged the Spirit of undeserved kindness with contempt? For we know Him that said: "Vengeance is mine; I will repay"; and again: "YAHWEH will judge His people." It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of "The Living Elohim." Hebrews 10:26-31. Many of the words and concepts as given and understood in the Hebrew Scriptures and subsequent teachings of the Messiah Yahshua and the Apostles have lost their original meaning to the many churchgoers who follow religion and their doctrines and traditions. As a result the overall message of Christianity is unclear and therefore the beliefs are unclear regarding basic questions such as: Who is the Almighty and what is His nature? Who is the Messiah and what is his relationship to the Almighty? What is the ultimate destiny of mankind? What is the central message, or "gospel" that we as the children of the Almighty are to share? Their are many beliefs, but only One Faith. "Old Testament," in fact, is an unfortunate and misleading name for that part of the Bible. Calling it the "Old" Testament implies to some people that it is done away with and no longer relevant. It should better be referred to as the Hebrew Scriptures, because there is more than the old covenant (i.e. the Mosaic Law) in the Hebrew Scriptures as well as the New in connection to the Hebrew and Aramaic Scriptures. For many years I thought that the Old Testament, the Gospels, and the Book of Revelation were addressed to Israel and did not concern me except as interesting information. I mentioned how Romans 15:4 was interpreted as "for our learning only" and not addressed TO us. Another verse that was used to prove that idea was Romans 15:8, which says, that Now I say that Yahshua the Messiah was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of YAHWEH, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: was a minister of the circumcision. We assumed it meant "of the circumcision only." However the word "and" in the very next verse indicates that he also had another purpose.

"Old Testament and New Testament..stand together as one in promise and purpose acting as a single drama. Act I points to its conclusion in Act II, and without it the play is an incomplete, unsatisfying thing. But Act II must be read in light of Act I, else its meaning will be missed. For the play is organically one. The Scriptures is one book. Had we to give that book a title, we might with justice call it 'The Book of the Coming Kingdom of YAHWEH.' That is, indeed, its central theme everywhere." I have to point out that the original language of the HOLY SEPHER=BOOK in Hebrew, was Hebrew OT/ & Aramaic/NT, and we saw up above that even Aramaic was spoken and written in the OT and the NT, is not Greek. It was only in the 3rd. century that the word Bible was translated into Greek by seventy scholars in Alexandria, Egypt. Hence the name "The Septuagint" for this translation, since the term "Septuagint" derives from the Latin numeral "septuaginta" just meaning ‘seventy’ and the text was so named to the credit of these 70 scholars or translators, its an altering of what is evident, the liar in the world.....Satan and his clones...... Bible is a Latin term for biblica. What we find in Truth of the Holy Sepher is the Truth that YAHWEH Spoke, as well the Truth that His Son the Messiah Yahshua spoke, UNITY!......Anything other than, is a deception. YAHWEH doesn't consider, idols, symbols, icons, earthly temples, religions, and politics etc. ;any part of Him or His Son. JERUSALEM -- What does a remote village in Syria, Sydney, Australia and the Old City of Jerusalem have in common? The answer: Aramaic, a language, which dominated the ancient world.

"Take good care not to practice your righteousness in front of mankind in order to be observed by them; otherwise You will have no reward with YOUR Father who is in the heavens. Hence when you go making gifts of mercy, do not blow a trumpet ahead of you, just as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be glorified by men. Truly I say to YOU, They are having their reward in full. But you, when making gifts of mercy, do not let your left hand know what your right is doing, that your gifts of mercy may be in secret; then YOUR Father who is looking on in secret will repay you.

"Also, when You pray, You must not be as the hypocrites; because they like to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the broad ways to be visible to everyone. When You pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Truly I say to You, They are having their reward in full. You, however, when you pray, go into your private room and, after shutting your door, pray to YOUR Father who is in heaven; then YOUR Father who looks on in the secret places of the heart will repay You. But when praying, do not say the same things over and over again, just as the people of the nations do, for they imagine they will get a hearing for their use of many words. So, do not make yourselves like them, for YOUR Father in heaven knows what Your needs are before You ask Him.

"YOU must pray, then, this way: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we are to forgive our debtors. And bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’ For thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, Forever and Ever. Amein. "For if You forgive others their trespasses, YOUR heavenly Father will also forgive You; whereas if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will YOUR Father forgive Your trespasses.

"When you are fasting, stop longing in the face, and being lofty eyed like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that they may appear to be fasting. Truly I say to YOU, They are having their reward in full. But you, when fasting, grease your head and wash your face, that you may be fasting, not to humankind, but to YOUR Father who is in secrecy; then YOUR Father who is looking on in secrecy will repay You.

"Stop storing up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break in and steal. Rather, store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. "The lamp of the body is the eye. If, then, your eye is simple, your whole body will be bright; but if your eye is wicked, your whole body will be dark. If in reality the light that is in you is darkness, how great that darkness is! No one can serve two masters: for either they will hate the one, and love the other; or else they will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve Elohim and mammon. "On this account I say to You: Stop being anxious about Your souls as to what You will eat or what You will drink, or about Your bodies as to what You will wear. Does not the soul mean more than food and the body than clothing? Observe intently the birds of heaven, because they do not sow seed or reap or gather into storehouses; still YOUR heavenly Father feeds them. Are You not worth more than they are? Who of You by being anxious can add one cubit to their life span? Also, on the matter of clothing, why are You anxious? Take a lesson from the lilies of the field, how they are growing; they do not toil, nor do they spin; And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Melchizedek, the Judge-KING of Salem mentioned in Genesis 14, is YAHWEH Himself and was clearly identified in Hebrews 7 as Michael who is the Messiah Yahshua who spoke with Abraham at Yahweh's request, who shall come in his Father's order to judge as High Priest. The writer of Hebrews Paul even quotes Psalm 110:4, where David said in the middle of a clearly Messianic passage, "..You are a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek." Abraham’s offering of Isaac on Mt. Moriah. The prohecy, related in Genesis 22, is the very image of YAHWEH'S offering up of His Son on the stake. The ABBA Father and the Promised Son go on a three-day journey. The mode of travel? A donkey. Their destination? One of the first things we should learn in our search for the true Savior is His Name. The importance of knowing this Man's Name cannot be overstated. Names were and are very important to the Hebrew people, and their meanings are of great significance, not only to individuals, but also to entire families. This source also points out to us that this Name, correctly pronounced Yahshua, is a compound name constructed with the Tetragrammaton YHWH, which is the Name: YAHWEH. The Name Yahshua follows the common practice among the true worshippers of YAHWEH, in forming and using compound names which brought and brings Glory to YAHWEH'S Name. Returning to the Aramaic NT, Yahshua the Son of YAHWEH (who came in His Father’s Name) or Abba YAHWEH. Matthew 5:3, Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven . They say that "theirs" is a classic mistranslation from the Greek, and is retained in all modern English versions. It should be translated "of these" or "of such as these." We cannot possess the Kingdom. It does not belong to us. Rather, Yahshua is describing the kind of people who make up that Kingdom. It is the "poor in Spirit," those who have no righteousness of their own, the meek, these who have overcome pride and vanity. Luke 23:31, For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry? Makes no sense whatever in Greek or English, but makes perfect sense when retranslated into Hebrew. Yahshua is referring to the "green tree" and the "dry tree" from Ezekiel’s prophecy against Jerusalem and the Temple. Ezekiel 20:45 to 21:7. The green tree is the righteous and the dry tree is the wicked. All will be burned up because of the intensity of the fire He will kindle. So Yahshua is saying, If you knew what is coming, you would not mourn for me, you would mourn for yourselves. If they do this to Me (the righteous), what will they do to you (the wicked)? This was a reference to the Roman destruction of Jerusalem , and the suffering and killing of many people, which took place in 69-70 CE. Matthew 11:12, From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force." Have you ever wondered about this seeming contradiction? Why would the meek, the passive, the "poor in spirit," resort to violence to take the Kingdom, and why would YAHWEH allow it? This Scripture as written, as we have it, does not agree with the rest of the Son of Yahweh, Yahshua’s teachings, does it?

Wherefore, if Elohim so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe You, thus also clothe the vegetation of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much rather clothe You, O' You with little faith? So never be anxious and say, ‘What are we to eat?’ or, ‘What are we to drink?’ or, ‘What are we to put on? (For after all these things do the Gentiles (nations) seek:) For all these are the things the nations are eagerly pursuing. For YOUR heavenly Father knows You need all these things. But seek First the Kingdom of Elohim, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto You. So, never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties. Sufficient each day is in its own badness. Matthew 6:1-34.

"Hallowed be Thy Name!" The Messiah Yahshua taught us to present this as our Highest petition to his Father and our Father in heaven; it characterizes the filial relationship we aspire to have with Him. A greater hope than this there is not, than to enter into an intimate and holy union with Elohim, for "the Holiness of YAHWEH is the "center unity of the Memorial of His Name Forever. "Asking the Father that His Name be made Holy draws us into His plan of loving kindness for the fullness of time, 'according to His purpose which He set forth in the Messiah,' that we might 'be holy and blameless before Him in love.'" Ephesians 1:9,14. This Hallowing of the Divine Name, which began by Yahshua - "Father, I have Glorified YOU on earth, I have accomplished the work YOU have given Me to do" (John 17:4) Paul affirms, "Thanks be unto YAHWEH manifesting through us the odor of His knowledge in every place. For we are the fragrance of the Messiah Yahshua for YAHWEH" (2 Corinthians 2:14). Truly, it is the elect, the chosen 'holy ones', who draw souls to YAHWEH by revealing the Perfection of (His) Holiness.

John to the seven assemblies which are in Asia: Favour be unto you, and peace, from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the Seven Spirits which are before His throne; I the ALEPH and TAW, the Beginning and the Ending, with no end, says YAHWEH, " the One which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." And the twenty-four elders, who were seated before YAHWEH on their seats, fell upon their faces, and Worshiped YAHWEH, Saying, We give to Thee thanks, O YAHWEH El-Shaddai, the Almighty; the One who is and who was, and who is to come; because YOU have taken YOUR Great Power, and have Reigned as KING. Revelation 1:4,8; 11:16,17; 16:13,14.

And YAHWEH shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And the One seated on the throne said: "Look! I am making all things new." Also, He says: "Write, because these words are from the faithful and true." And he said to me: "The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father." John 1:18;17:5. Therefore being by the right hand of YAHWEH exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has shed forth this, which you now see and hear. Acts 2:33. And because You are sons, YAHWEH has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of YAHWEH through the Messiah. Galatians 4:6,7. with which He has operated in the case of the Messiah when He raised him up from the dead and seated him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above every government and authority and power and dominion and every name named, not only in this age, but also in that to come. He also subjected all things under his feet, and made him head over all things to the assembly, which is his body, the fullness of Him who fills up all things in all. Ephesians 1:20-23. "They have come to pass! And to the One that sits on the throne I am ALEPH and TAW, the Beginning and the End. To anyone thirsting I will give from the fountain of the water of life free. Anyone conquering will inherit these things, and I shall be his Elohim and he will be my son. But as for the cowards and those without faith and those who are disgusting in their filth and murderers and fornicators and those practicing spiritism and idolaters and all the liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur. This means the second death." Revelation 21:4-8.

I the ALEPH and the TAW, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Revelation 22:13. As the ALEPH and TAW, Elohim YAHWEH Created the heavens and earth, all [other] things were created through His firstborn of all creation, it is YAHWEH as this means Beginning and End and we know the Messiah Yahshua had a beginning when YAHWEH created him whereas YAHWEH did not. Only YAHWEH is Almighty as it is in harmony with Revelation 1:8. How is it comprehensible that the Messiah Yahshua gave these things to himself? As thought of by the Trintarians, what part is not understood, What my Father has given me? John 10:29,30. When we go also to the beginning of Revelation it reads, A revelation by Yahshua the Messiah, which YAHWEH gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented it in signs through him to his slave John, Revelation 1:1.

ALL The Glory Goes To The ALMIGHTY ELOHIM YAHWEH, whose will is that those who have been honored first shall be last to receive honors at the Messiah's coming; when he gives "honor more abundant to the part which had the lack" - by making the last first. When YAHWEH created Adam and Eve, He said: "Let us make man in our image." Genesis 1:26..The question is: Who was YAHWEH speaking with and inviting to share in creation? A Trinitarian would probably conclude that Elohim was just muttering to himself, or perhaps one head of the Trinity was conferring with the other two heads of the triune conglomerate. But, the more sensible and scriptural answer is that YAHWEH was speaking to His Only-begotten Son. The Remnant of YAHWEH accepts both the Old and New Testament Book. We are not to accept, however, the substituted names and common titles of our Heavenly Father and His Son. We should also object to the Hellenized names given to the Hebrew worthies in the New Testament, such Hezekiyah appearing as "Ezekias" (Matthew 1:9), and Judah (Yahudah) as "Judas" Matthew 1:2. Yahud (Aramaic) = corresponding to the Ancient Southern Kingdom and land area named after Yahudah a son of Jacob/Israel, - (incorrectly translated as Judea, or Judah in many English Bibles). Yahudain, Yahudean, Yahudyn, (like sounding) or Yahudim (Aramaic) = an inhabitant (of any race) living in the Southern Kingdom of Yahud, - (incorrectly translated as Jews, or sometimes Judeans, in many English Bibles). Yahudah (Hebrew) = "praised" a son of Jacob/Israel, or his descendants, - (incorrectly translated as Judah, Judah(s), Jew(s) in many English Bibles).

As the Word, of YAHWEH, Yahshua did indeed create all [other] things in existence, but it was not something that he took upon himself to do nor take credit for. YAHWEH endowed His Only-begotten heavenly Son to have that privilege. That's why Yahshua does not carry the title of Creator, because he himself was created by YAHWEH and then afterwards empowered by his Creator to create all [other] things. Put more simply, YAHWEH could have Created everything by Himself, but Yahshua could not have. Because of YAHWEH'S large-hearted nature He shared Himself completely with His very First creation. And, because Yahshua and YAHWEH are in complete unity, they act as one. What my Father has given me is something greater than all other things, and no one can snatch them out of the hand of my Father. I and the Father are one." John 10:29,30. YAHWEH'S saying that no one else was with Him means that Elohim does not recognize any peer.

Hence, in itself, the title "The ALEPH and the TAW" conveys the idea of the Beginning, Start FIRST! - and the Finish - LAST! or completion - END! The personage who is so designated would, therefore, be viewed as the Beginner and the One who brings all to will, the complete fulfilment of His Perfect will and Promises. He revealed Himself as El Shaddai (able to keep promise) to Abraham and His other faithful children. Because of YAHWEH’S ALMIGHTY GOOD nature as the ultimate Covenant-Keeper, He can swear by Himself. He uses His own Name because there is no one higher. By His oath He makes the unchanging nature of His purpose clear to the heirs of the promise. YAHWEH gives two unchangeable things- His promise and His oath Because of the promise and the oath, we have an anchor for the soul, firm and secure-The Messiah Yahshua. Read Hebrews 6:13-20.

And from Yahshua the Messiah, who is the Faithful Witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of peace. Unto Him that loved us, and gave us one who washed us from our sins in his own blood, And has made us priests and rulers unto his Elohim and Father; to Him be Glory and dominion for ever and ever. amein. Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, amein. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the Holy City, New Jerusalem, coming down from YAHWEH out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. Revelation 1:5-7;21:1,2.

Those that have an ear, let them hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies; To those who overcome will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of Elohim. And those that overcome, and keep my works unto the end, to them I will give power over the nations: And they shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father. And I will give those the morning star. Those that have an ear, let them hear what the Spirit says unto the assemblies. Revelation 2:7,26-29. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star" And the Spirit and the bride keep on saying: “Come!” And let anyone hearing say: “Come!” And let anyone thirsting come; let anyone whosoever will take life’s water free. Revelation 22:16,17.

Lion of Yahudah Yahshua

THE LAMB OF YAHWEH!
Read - Mt 20:8,16 & John 15:1-10
& 1 Co 15:20-24; 45-52 & 1 Th 4:16.

Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His Name, and what is His Son's Name, if you know? Proverbs 30:4 ~ Compare w/ Luke 24:25-53.

And YAHWEH said, Thou can not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and yet live. Exodus 33:20. YAHWEH can't die, He sent forth His Lamb the Messiah Yahshua to die for the world, so Yahshua can not be YAHWEH. Many saw Yahshua and didn't die. No man has seen the Father at any time; the only begotten Son, who is the bosom of the Father, he has declared Him. John 1:18. "Elohim who is Immortal and who lives in an unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see." Who is Immortal, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man has seen, nor can see: to whom be Honour and Power everlasting. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the Living Elohim, who gives richly all things to enjoy; 1 Timothy 6:16,17.

"Yahshua answered them, ‘Destroy this temple, AND I WILL RAISE IT AGAIN IN THREE DAYS.’ The Israelites replied, ‘It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and YOU are going to raise it in three days?’ But the temple he had spoken of was HIS BODY. After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Yahshua had spoken." John 2:19-22. "The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life--only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down OF MY OWN ACCORD. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from my Father." John 10:17,18.

Blessed be Elohim the Father of our master Yahshua the Messiah, which according to His abundant mercy has begotten as one unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Yahshua the Messiah from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fades not away, reserved in heaven for those who seek Him through Yahshua, Who are kept by the power of YAHWEH through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last day. Wherein we greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, you may be in heaviness through manifold temptations: 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: Whom many have seen, you love; in whom, though now you see him not, yet believing, you rejoice with joy and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the favour that should come unto those as one: Searching what, or what manner of time that He the Holy Spirit of Yahweh in the Messiah, which was in them did signify, when testified beforehand the sufferings of the Messiah, and the glory that should follow. But with the precious blood of Messiah, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot: Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was made manifest in these last times for you, Who by him do have faith in YAHWEH, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in YAHWEH. 1 Peter 1:3-11,19-21.

And Simon Kepha answered and said, Thou art the Messiah, the Son of the Living Elohim. And Yahshua answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood has not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Kepha, and upon this rock I will build my assembly; and the gates of sheol shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:16-19.

Yahshua said: Those that overcome will I make a pillar in the temple of my Elohim, and they shall go no more out: and I will write upon them the name of my Elohim, and the name of the city of my Elohim, which is New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my Elohim: and I will write upon those my new name. Revelation 3:12. Yahshua was indeed "the First" human to be resurrected to immortal spirit life. And he is the head of the body, the assembly: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Colossians 1:18. Moreover, he is "the Last" to be so resurrected by YAHWEH personally. Thus, he becomes "the living one . .living forever and ever." In this, he is like his immortal Father, who is called "The Living Elohim." My soul thirsts for Elohim, for the Living Elohim: when shall I come and appear before Elohim? Psalms 42:2. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the Living Elohim: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Revelation 7:2.

For all others of humanity, Yahshua himself is "the resurrection and the life." Yahshua said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that has faith in me, though were dead, yet shall live: John 11:25. Yahshua says to John: I am he that lives, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, amein; and have the keys of SHEOL and of death. Revelation 1:18. YAHWEH Has given him the authority to resurrect the dead. That is why Yahshua can say that he has the keys to unlock the gates of sheol. For those bound by death. Matthew 16:18. Paul, a disciple, (not of men, neither by man, but by Yahshua the Messiah, and YAHWEH his Father, who raised him from the dead;) Galatians 1:1. Beloved, let us love one another, for Love is of YAHWEH; and everyone who loves is born of YAHWEH and knows YAHWEH. Those that do not love do not know YAHWEH, for YAHWEH is Love. In this the Love of YAHWEH was manifested toward us, that YAHWEH has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved YAHWEH, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if YAHWEH so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has seen YAHWEH at any time. If we love one another, YAHWEH abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us. Whoever confesses that Yahshua is the Son of YAHWEH, YAHWEH abides in them, and those in YAHWEH. 1 John 4:7-12,15.

Revelation 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: & 18 is referring to Yahshua but it does not mean the Messiah was claiming to be equal to his Father, YAHWEH. We can also reference Colossians 1:18 which says (of Yahshua), "He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead" That never again will have to die. Yahshua has rightly claimed this "title" to be the first and the last..in terms that Yahshua was the First to be resurrected to immortal spirit life and the last to be personally resurrected by Elohim YAHWEH Himself, because for any resurrection to be done in the future it will be done through Yahshua, and the resurrection done in the past, Prior to Yahshua's resurrection; done by Yahshua example Lazarus and yet he and they died again years after. Yahshua has the keys to sheol and of death because his Father gave him this authority to release us from our enemy called death forever and release us from sheol, "meaning the resurrection hope", and have everlasting life.

But here those come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the Living Elohim, the Heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and assembly of the firstborn, which is written in heaven, and to YAHWEH the Judge of all, and to the spirits of the just made perfect, And to Yahshua the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaks better things than that of Abel. Hebrews 12:22-24. When referencing YAHWEH, He is the First and Last as He Is The Almighty Elohim, He has no beginning, no end as the ALEPH and TAW, There is no Elohim before Him, or equal to Him. I am ALEPH and TAW, the Beginning and the Ending, says YAHWEH, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Revelation 1:8. "The Name of YAHWEH" which means in Hebrew ‘The One who is and who will cause to be.’ In Exodus 3:14 the Hebrew uses a qal form "I shall [prove to] be what I shall [prove to] be" "I cause to become what I cause to become." In Revelation chapter 1, In talking about Yahshua it is referring to his death and resurrection. Since YAHWEH can't not die, and Yahshua did, Yahshua can not be Elohim. YAHWEH is Elohim, and Yahshua is His first creation. Who is the image of the invisible Elohim, the firstborn of every creature: Colossians 1:15. Thats why Yahshua is referred to as His "only begotten Son". For YAHWEH so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever has faith in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16. Yahshua by YAHWEH'S HOLY SPIRIT created every [other] thing along side of Him. Colossians 1:16; Genesis 1:26; Proverbs 8:22-31.

In Revelation, a parallel expression is used. The expression "The ALEPH and the TAW" is used exclusively with reference to THE ALMIGHTY ELOHIM YAHWEH, no authentic Scripture calls Yahshua by this title. The senseless one has said in his heart: There is no Elohim. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is no one doing good. Before the mountains were brought forth, before YOU formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, YOU are Elohim. Psalms 14:1; 90:2.

Yahshua answered the Israelites, My Father keeps working till now, and I work. Therefore they sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the Sabbath, but said also that Elohim was his Father, making himself equal with Elohim. Then answered Yahshua and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees his Father do: for what things soever He does, these also does His Son likewise. For the Father loves His Son, and shows him all things that He Himself does: and He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel. For just as my Father raises the dead up and makes them alive, so the Son also makes those alive whom he wants to. For my Father judges no one at all, but He has committed all the judging to His Son, in order that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. They that do not honor the Son do not honor the Father who sent him. Most truly I say to you, They that hear my word and believes Him that sent me has everlasting life, and they do not come into judgment but has passed over from death to life. 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 His 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, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. I cannot do a single thing of my own initiative; just as I hear, I judge; and the judgment that I render is righteous, because I seek, not my own will, but the will of Him that sent me. John 5:17-30.

In various places in the Gospels, Yahshua is very critical of the scribes and the Pharisees. Even before this time, there was severe criticism of the scribes, and Sanhedrin. In the eighth chapter of the Book of Jeremiah, the prophet relays the message of Yahweh in regard to these men. How do you say, We are wise, and the torah of Yahweh is with us? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has wrought falsely. The wise men are put to shame, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have rejected the Word of Yahweh; and what manner of wisdom is in them? Jeremiah 8:8,9 Yahshua never claimed to be equal to Elohim. That was an accusation the murder-breathing people made against the Messiah. Yahshua had already told them that they were liars and that they did the will of their father the Devil. Then said Yahshua to those which had faith in him and his Father, If you continue in my word, then are you my disciples indeed; And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, You shall be made free? Yahshua answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abides not in the house forever: but the Son abides forever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. I know that you are Abraham's seed; but you seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you. I speak that which I have heard my Father speak: and you do that which you have seen with your father. They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Yahshua said unto them, If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham. But now you seek to kill me, a man that has told you the truth, which I have heard of YAHWEH: this did not Abraham. You do the deeds of your father. Then they said to him, We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, Elohim. Yahshua said unto them, If Elohim were your Father, you would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from Elohim; neither came I of myself, but He sent me forth. Why do you not understand my speech? Even because you can not hear my word. You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do, he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:31-44.

Rabbinic Judaism, along with the pagan Christianity anti-messiahs' false Greek Jesus Zeus man-god "Christ," has been an integral part of the adversary's mission to prevent the Israelite people from recognizing their Messiah-Yahshua! Watch out counter missionaries and pseudo-Messianics that seek to impose Judiac "Oral" traditions upon all! Could that be because the Devil's truth-twisting influence is just as prevalent today as it was in Yahshua's day?..and don't call on him in his true name given to him by his Father, nor call on the name of his Father in truth either, just like the religious zealots of Yahshua's day? For this cause the people caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me. Having therefore obtained help of YAHWEH, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come: That the Messiah should suffer, and that he should be the first that should rise from the dead, and should show light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. Acts 26:21-23.

For we know that all creation keeps on groaning together and being in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, as children of Elohim, the redemption of our body. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love YAHWEH, to them who are called according to His purpose. For whom He did foreknow, He also foreordained to be conformed to the image of His Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. Further, if the [part taken as] firstfruits is holy, the lump is also; and if the root is holy, the branches are also. Romans 8:22,23;28,29; 11:16.

But if the Messiah has not been raised up, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Moreover, we are found false witnesses of YAHWEH; because we have born witness of YAHWEH that He raised up the Messiah: whom He raised not up? if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not the Messiah raised: And if the Messiah be not raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in the Messiah are perished. If in this life only we have hope in the Messiah, we are most miserable. But now is the Messiah risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by a man shall come also the resurrection of the dead. But every in his own order: the Messiah the firstfruits; afterward they that are the Messiah's at his coming. Then comes the end, when he shall have delivered up the Kingdom to YAHWEH, his Father our KING; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till He has put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy is death. For He has put all things under his feet. But when He says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that it is with the exception of the One who subjected all things to him. But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him, that YAHWEH may be all in all to whom is His. 1 Corinthians 15:14-21,23-29.

So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption, it is raised up in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised up in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised up in power. It is sown a physical body, it is raised up a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one. It is even so written: "The first man Adam was made a living soul." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. Nevertheless, the first is, not that which is spiritual, but that which is physical, afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is out of the earth and made of dust; the last Adam Yahshua came down from heaven and was made a quickening spirit. "Death is swallowed up forever." "Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?" The sting producing death is sin, but the power for sin is the Law. But thanks to YAHWEH, for He gives us the victory through our master Yahshua the Messiah. 1 Corinthians 15:42-47,51-56.

Lets be of one mind that was also in the Messiah Yahshua, who, although he was existing in the form of Elohim, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal with YAHWEH. No, but he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and came to be in the likeness of men. More than that, when he found himself in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient as far as death, yes, death on a stake. For this very reason also YAHWEH exalted him to a superior position and kindly gave him the name that is above every other name, so that in the name of Yahshua every knee should bend of those in heaven and those on earth and those under the ground, and every tongue should openly acknowledge that Yahshua the Messiah is master to the Glory of YAHWEH the Father. Philippians 2:5-11. Compare Colossians 1:13-18.

I will Praise thee, O YAHWEH, with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works. I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing Praise to thy name, O thou Most High. When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. For thou has maintained my right and my cause; thou sits in the throne judging right. Thou has rebuked the heathen, thou has destroyed the wicked, thou has put out their name for ever and ever. O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou has destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. But YAHWEH shall endure for ever: He has prepared his throne for judgment. And He shall judge the world in righteousness, He shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. YAHWEH also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, YAHWAH, has not forsaken them that seek thee. Sing Praises to YAHWEH, which He dwells in Zion: declare among the people His doings. When He makes inquisition for blood, He remembers them: He forgets not the cry of the humble.

Have mercy upon me, O YAHWEH; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that lift me up from the gates of death: That I may show forth all thy Praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy Salvation. The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. YAHWEH is known by the judgment which He executes: the wicked are snared in the work of His own hands. Higgaion. Selah. The wicked shall be turned into sheol, and all the nations that forget Elohim. For the needy shall not always be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. Arise, O YAHWEH; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. Put them in fear, O YAHWEH: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah. Psalms 9:9-20. This is an excerpt from a longer psalm originally consisting of Psalms 9 and 10. It is both a song of Thanksgiving for YAHWEH'S help (vss. 9-12); and an appeal for YAHWEH'S favour (vss. 13-14), and for judgment against wicked enemies (vss. 15-20).

We often forget that the praises of Israel arose out of life situations, most of which are now completely unknown and unknowable. The context of this excerpt appears to reflect a time of great national distress, perhaps of imminent danger from foreign invasion. The image of YAHWEH as a stronghold in vs. 9 of the above scriptures, suggests the need for something more than military defenses. In ancient times all cities and even small towns had a fortress into which the people retreated when invasions occurred. The preceding verses reflect a temporary victory of Israel over an unnamed enemy. The victory was attributed to YAHWEH who sits enthroned as Sovereign KING exercising judgment over the nations. As the firstborn Son of all Creation, Yahshua is unique among all of Elohim's children, in that he was the first and only creature directly created by YAHWEH. All [others] were created through His Son. In the sight of YAHWEH, who preserves all things alive, and before the Messiah Yahshua, who as a witness made the fine public declaration before Pontius Pilate, I give you orders that you observe the commandment in a spotless and irreprehensible way until the appearing of our master Yahshua the Messiah: Which in his times he shall show, who is the Blessed and only KING (YAHWEH), and He shall show who He exalted as King of kings, and Master of masters; him showing the One alone having Immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom not one of men has seen or can see. And who has given His Son the Messiah Yahshua immortality for giving Him the honor and power everlasting. Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the Living Elohim, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; 1 Timothy 6:13-17.

The verses above are speaking of Father and Son. Remember YAHWEH hands over all the "authority" to judge, of the living also those Yahshua raises from the grave, over to His Son. As the Messiah Yahshua said: "Call no one on earth your father; you have but One Father in heaven." Matthew 23:9. For whether we live, we live unto YAHWEH; and whether we die, we die unto YAHWEH: whether we live therefore, or die, we are YAHWEH'S. For to this end the Messiah both died, and rose, and revived, that he shall be called mighty El both of the dead and living. But why do you judge thy brother and sister? or why do thou set at nought thy brother and set cause unto your sister? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of the Messiah. For it is written, As I live, says YAHWEH, shall Worship unto me, and every tongue shall make acknowledgment to YAHWEH. So then everyone of us shall give account to YAHWEH. Romans 14:8-12.

So he has become better than the angels, to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs. For example, to which one of the angels did He ever say: "You are my Son; I, today have begotten thee, I have become your Father"? And again: "I myself shall become his Father, and he himself will become my Son"? But when He again brings His Firstborn into the inhabited earth, He says: "And let all the angels of Yahweh bow down to him." Hebrews 1:4-6.

Hence when he comes into the world he says: "‘Sacrifice and offering you did not want, but you prepared a body for me. You did not approve of whole burnt offerings and sin [offering].’ Then I said, ‘Look! I am come (in the roll of the book it is written about me) to do your will, O YAHWEH.’" After first saying: "You did not want nor did you approve of sacrifices and offerings and whole burnt offerings and sin [offering]"—[sacrifices] that are offered according to the Law—then he actually says: "Look! I am come to do your will." He does away with what is first that he may establish what is second. By the said "will" we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Yahshua the Messiah once for all time. in general assembly of the firstborn, which is written in heavens, and to YAHWEH the Judge of all, and to the spirit of just lives of righteous ones who have been made perfect, and Yahshua the mediator of the new covenant, and the blood of sprinkling, which speaks in a better way than Abel’s [blood]. Hebrews 10:5-10; 12:23,24.

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. If any one seems to be a formal worshiper and yet does not bridle their tongue, but goes on deceiving their own heart, this form of worship is futile. The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our Elohim and Father YAHWEH is this: to look after orphans and widows in their tribulation, and to keep oneself without spot from the world. James 1:17,18,26,27. Furthermore, the world is passing away and so is its desire, but he that does and did the will of YAHWEH remains forever. Little children, it is the last hour, and, just as YOU have heard that Anti-Messiah is coming, even now there have come to be many Anti-Messiah's, from which fact we gain the knowledge that it is the last hour. 1 John 2:18.

A revelation by Yahshua the Messiah, which ELOHIM gave him, to show his slaves the things that must shortly take place. And he sent forth his angel and presented [it] in signs through him to his slave John, who bore witness to the word of ELOHIM gave and to the witness Yahshua the Messiah gave, even to all the things he saw. Happy is he who reads aloud and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and who observe the things written in it; for the appointed time is near. Revelation 1:1-3. And when I saw him (Yahshua), I fell as dead at his feet. And he laid his right hand upon me and said: "Do not be fearful. I am the first and the last, and the living one; and I became dead, but, look! I am living forever and ever, and I have the keys of death and of SHEOL. Therefore write down the things you saw, and the things that are and the things that will take place after these. And unto the angel of the assembly in Smyrna write; These things says the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; Revelation 1:17-19; 2:8. And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. Isaiah 22:22. He that overcomes, shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the assemblies. And to the angel of the assembly in Philadelphia write; These things said he that is holy, he that is true, he that has the key of David, he that opens the door, that no man can shut, and no man open; Revelation 3:5-7.

HALLELUYAH!
RUACH HA KODESH!

"The two witnesses", of Revelation!

Moshe represented the Law. Eliyah represented the Prophets.

Yahweh's Truth The Torah means, "to point the way" and is also interchangeable with the word, "law." Genesis 1:1-50, Genesis 1:1-3;2:3..The 613 Mitzvot (Hebrew: תרי"ג מצוות: Taryag Mitzvot, "613 commandments") are statements in discipline and principles of the law. The Torah consists of the first 5 books of the bible: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, The Message of the Torah "He created to make" (2:3). As A Whole: Genesis, the Pentateuch, the Old Testament, and the New Testament. And Elohim said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Genesis 1:26. The faithful of Yahweh observed and continue to observe the Torah and they were declared righteous because of it, and will be by the refining fire of Yahweh's Holy Spirit that is also in the Messiah Yahshua for he shall judge. As a new creature, we do not live to please ourselves. Rather, we live to please YAHWEH. "And it shall be our righteousness if we observe to do all these commandments before YAHWEH our Almighty One, as He hath commanded us." Deuteronomy 6:25.

SEPHER=BOOK in Hebrew The OT and NT Scriptures: On this renewed heart that YAHWEH gives us, He writes His Law. Jeremiah 31:33 — "After those days," saith YAHWEH, "I will put My Law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts, and will be their Almighty One, and they shall be My people." "All Scripture is given by inspiration of YAHWEH, and is for our discipline, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of YAHWEH may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." 2 Timothy 3:16,17. Law (Torah) Prophets (Nevi’im) Writings (Kethuvim) The word "Tanakh" is an acronym for the three-fold division of the Hebrew Scriptures. "The Law The Prophets The Writings" And Yahshua said unto them, These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Luke 24:44. For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to Elohim: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause. For the love of the Messiah constraineth us; because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead: And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again. Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known the Messiah after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. Therefore if any man be in the Messiah, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. 2 Corinthians 5:13-17

Clearly to "know" the Messiah is to keep the commandments or teachings of Messiah (Torah!); therefore, those that rebelliously refuse to keep the Torah (Law or commandments) of Messiah do not "know" him or his Father, and will be told, "Depart from me, ye that work iniquity (lawless)!" Matthew 7:21-23; Luke 13:24-27. Thayer's Greek lexicon defines anomia as: anomia; 1. properly, the condition of one without law — either because ignorant of it, or because violating it. 2. contempt and violation of law, 3. iniquity, 4. wickedness: This is precisely the same Greek word used in Matthew 7:23 where we hear Yahshua say, "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness (anomia)." In fact, most cases of the word "iniquity" in the KJV are the same Greek word. Additionally, Apostate Christianity shows open contempt of Law (Torah) by brazenly teaching against it!

Our timeline is still somewhere back in the middle of the Tribulation. We aren’t done there yet. As you know, Yahshua's chosen are of 144,000, since the beginning of the Tribulation or even before that. We aren’t told how long their ministry is to last, but we are informed in Revelation 7 that they will be sealed, protected from the Tribulation’s lethality, before the Great Tribulation starts; and later we’ll see that all of them live through the entire time of Jacob’s trouble. But the highest-profile of Last Days witnesses are two people who prophesy right in the anti-messiah’s......(plural).....back yard for the whole second half of the Tribulation. John describes them like this: "And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the Elohim of the earth. And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they will." Revelation 11:3-6.

Here we have another instance of the use of the Greek term anomia. The "lawless" (Torah violators) are among those who are gathered first and cast into the fires of eternal destruction! Matthew 7:13. By the way, here and elsewhere the Messiah makes it clear that the wicked are gathered before the righteous - a clear and irrefutable contradiction of the silly, outrageous, and dangerous "rapture" theory. Of course, those clinging to a belief in the rapture do so because they want to, and they probably do not care that the person they worship as "Christ" proves the rapture is a false doctrine, considering also the Messiah is not Christ. A secondary, yet important teaching, relates to WHERE the Kingdom will be. Note that the wicked are gathered OUT OF the Kingdom, and the righteous, who were NOT gathered will THEN "shine forth as the sun IN the Kingdom." Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Matthew 13:43. Obviously, since the wicked and the righteous are right here on planet earth where the angels are sent to gather, the Kingdom from which the Torah violators are gathered is an EARTHLY Kingdom in which the righteous will then shine forth. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Matthew 5:5. So shall it be at the end of the age: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, Matthew 13:49.

Let’s start with what we know. Four hundred years before Yahshua’s first-century advent, Malachi recorded this intriguing prophecy: "Behold, I will send you Eliyah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of Yahweh. And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse." Malachi 4:5-6. The Jews of Yahshua’s day were well aware of this prophecy, and when it became apparent to a few of them, that Yahshua was indeed "the Son of the Living Elohim,"..Matthew 16:16..the Messiah explained that if the nation of Israel had been willing to accept him as their Messiah (though He knew they would not) the prophecy would have been fulfilled in the person and ministry of John the Baptist. "Assuredly, I [Yahshua] say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if you are willing to receive it, he is Eliyah who is to come." Matthew 11:11-14. John was a like Eliyah he was murdered before the Messiah's impalement.

John’s self-stated task was to prepare the hearts of the people of Israel to receive their Messiah. "Now this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, ‘Who are you?’ He confessed, and did not deny, but confessed, ‘I am not the Messiah.’ And they asked him, ‘What then? Are you Eliyah?’ He said, ‘I am not.’ ‘Are you the Prophet?’ [See Deuteronomy 18:18] And he answered, ‘No.’ Then they said to him, ‘Who are you, that we may give an answer to those who sent us? What do you say about yourself? He said: ‘I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness: "Make straight the way of Yahweh," as the prophet Isaiah said.’" John 1:19-23. The fact that John didn’t realize he was potentially fulfilling the prophesied role of Eliyah at the Messiah’s first-century coming, as prophesied in Isaiah 40:3 makes it true.

In pointing this out, John the Baptist was following an old family tradition: truth. Zechariah the priest had prophesied at the birth of his son John, And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of YHWH to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our Elohim; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. Luke 1:76-79. Giving light and guidance is the role of the true Messiah. John preached repentance, a change of mind and direction from darkness to light that would surely "turn the hearts of the fathers to the children" and vice versa. Like his prototype, Eliyah, and his antitype, the first witness of Revelation, John was always careful to be as meek and soft-spoken to the people, but he also knew how to open their ears and eyes some didn't like the truth of themselves.

"Ten Commandments" - And Elohim spoke all these words, saying, I am YAHWEH thy Elohim, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I YAHWEH thy Elohim am a jealous Elohim, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Thou shalt not take the name of YAHWEH thy Elohim in vain; for YAHWEH will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the Sabbath of YAHWEH thy Elohim: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days YAHWEH made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore YAHWEH blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which YAHWEH thy Elohim giveth thee. Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's. Exodus 20:1-17. HalleluYah!

"He [John] said to the multitudes that came out to be baptized by him, Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That YHWH is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. John answered, saying unto them all, I indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I cometh, the latchet of whose sandals I am not worthy to unloose: he shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire: his winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly clean out his threshing floor, and gather the wheat into his barn; but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire." Luke 3:7-9,16,17.

Needless to say, John’s preaching style tended to separate the room into two groups: (1) those who were ready to repent, and (2) those who were ready to kill him. He was saying what Yahweh had told him to, just like the prophets of old. But as Yahshua’s ministry progressed, John saw less and less of his own prophecies in him. And he began to wonder, "Is Yahshua really the Coming One, or should I look for another?" Matthew 11:2,3. The Messiah put his qualms to rest by demonstrating his being sent by Yahweh and having his Father's divine qualities: curing the blind, deaf, leprous, and crippled, and even raising the dead. But he never did tell John what we now know: his prophecies were true, but they were for another time, when the Messiah would return to rule the earth with a scepter of iron from heaven. John’s message, then, was indistinguishable from that of the two witnesses: the Messiah is coming. Still all through the OT it shares of the coming of the Messiah. He will separate those who are His from those who are not, and will judge those who reject Him. Repent!

For YAHWEH so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For YAHWEH sent not his Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not judged: but he that believeth not is judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of YAHWEH. Matthew 3:16-18. I charge thee therefore before YAHWEH, and the master Yahshua the Messiah, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Timothy 4:1,2.

But in John’s day the nation of Israel did not change their mind, leaving Yahweh with no choice but to "strike the earth with a curse," which is the message of "EliYah," the first of the two witnesses of Revelation. As far as I’m concerned, though, it’s a confirmation that EliYah performed one of the same miracles that the two witnesses will: the withholding of rain upon the earth. And EliYah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As YHWH Elohim of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 1 Kings 17:1. Elohim is not restricted as to whom He can empower to do what. If He wants to send a drought, He doesn’t necessarily need Eliyah; if He wants to turn water into blood, He doesn’t have to use Moses, but uses his servants as vessels. The fire of that bush was a transforming fire, doing something to the heart of Moses so that he became a servant to Yahweh and a vessel of Him unto the people.

To my mind, the following passage is more to the point in explaining why YAHWEH would bring EliYah back into the picture: So Ahab sent unto all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. 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. Then said EliYah unto the people, I, even I only, remain a prophet of YHWH; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men. Let them therefore give us two bullocks; and let them choose one bullock for themselves, and cut it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: and I will dress the other bullock, and lay it on wood, and put no fire under: And call ye on the name of your LORD, and I will call on the name of Elohim YAHWEH: and the Elohim that answereth by fire, let him be Elohim. And all the people answered and said, It is well spoken. 1 Kings 18:20-24. The issue here isn’t Yahweh’s "answer by fire," something He did on that day and is perfectly willing to do again. Rather, it’s telling the world to make a choice, to get off the fence. You’re impressed with the anti-messiah's? Fine—follow them. If he’s really your GOD LORD Baal's like he says, let’s see him bring you some rain. Prayers will not be heard during the Great Tribulation.

Okay, so we know from Malachi that EliYah is one of the two witnesses. Who’s the other one? It seems obvious to many, but it isn’t. Consider this: And after six days Yahshua taketh Kepha, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and EliYah talking with him. Then answered Kepha, and said unto Yahshua, my master, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for EliYah. And His disciples asked him, saying, ‘Why then do the scribes say that EliYah must come first?’ Yahshua answered and said to them, ‘Indeed, EliYah is coming first and will restore all things. But I say to you that EliYah has come already, and they did not know him but did to him whatever they wished. Likewise the Son of Man is also about to suffer at their hands.’ Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist." Matthew 17:1-4, 10-13, cf. Mark 9:1-13, Luke 9:27-36; 4:4.

Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you EliYah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of YAHWEH: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. Malachi 4:4-6. Here we are, getting a glimpse of the future glory of Yahshua. Moses and EliYah have been invited as honored guests, representing the Law and the Prophets-the heart of the Hebrew scriptural experience. And naturally, knowing of the Malachi prophecy, his disciples ask Yahshua about EliYah. Makes perfect sense: they’d just met him, which is something nobody had done for almost nine hundred years. It is at this point that many leap to the truth which sets us free: Moses must be the second witness! He’s seen here with EliYah. And remember, one of the plagues mentioned in Revelation 11 is that "they have power over waters to turn them to blood." That’s something Moses did in Exodus 7:14-25. And EliYah so it would not rain in 1 Kings 16:28. These men have power to shut up the sky so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want. Revelation 11:6. The Almighty hand of Yahweh!

EliYah never went to heaven he didn't die at that time, but was taken up in a whirlwind and saw the throne of Yahweh, before the very eyes of his astonished protégé. 2 Kings 1:1-18. Look at Psalms 146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish. Interesting that this verse says his spirit goes out in other bibles. The scripture doesn‘t say that his spirit perishes but man‘s thoughts do. If the spirit goes out, where is it going? Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto Elohim who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:7. The Restored name KJV.

Here the above Scriptures can’t be any clearer than this one as to where the spirit goes after a person soul dies. What's interesting too is that in Luke 8:55 it says and her spirit in the KJV, And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat. Where did her spirit go? It had to have gone some where in order for it to return back to her body. Ecclesiastes 9:5,6 is often used to prove that the dead know not anything: For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun. Note the next verse which says "under the sun." This passage has reference solely to what the dead can know or do "under the sun," that is in the world in which they once lived. After death ones activity ceases on earth, hence they know nothing about what is happening on earth. Yahshua said in Luke 23:46 "Father into your hands I entrust my SPIRIT. When he had said this, he expired. Scripture has shown us that the spirit leaves the body upon death. Before Yahshua died we see that He entrusted his Spirit into Yahweh's hands. Why? When Yahshua died, He knew too that his spirit was not going into the hands of the enemy, nor was his spirit leaving his body to later be remember by Yahweh. He knew too that his spirit was going to be instantly with in the Paradise of Yahweh's Kingdom. This Yahshua hath YAHWEH raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand of YAHWEH exalted, and having received of his Father the promise Holy Spirit, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, YAHWEH said unto my master, Sit thou on my right hand, Acts 2:32-34.

The meaning above here is sufficiently clear: Royal parks and gardens; the last quoted passage referring allegorically to the approaching "marriage of the Lamb", when "the righteous shall inherit the land and dwell therein for ever" Psalms 37:29, when it "is become like the garden of Eden" Thus saith the Sovereign YAHWEH; In the day that I shall have cleansed you from all your iniquities I will also cause you to dwell in the cities, and the wastes shall be builded. And the desolate land shall be tilled, whereas it lay desolate in the sight of all that passed by. And they shall say, This land that was desolate is become like the garden of Eden; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are become fenced, and are inhabited. Ezekiel 36:33-35. New Testament -- Luke 23:43, And Yahshua said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise. 2 Corinthians 12:4, "Caught up to paradise"; Revelation 2:7, He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the assemblies; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of Elohim.

The tabernacle reveals what its Designer meant for its function to be—in this case, an elaborate picture of Yahweh’s Plan for the redemption of all mankind. Now, factor in this: And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So the Messiah was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. Hebrews 9:27,28. Just as it is patently absurd for the Messiah to die multiple times to atone for our multiple sins, so it is nonsense to suggest that Adam’s curse should visit our mortal bodies more than once apiece. In Eliyah’s case, there’s no reason Yahweh couldn’t, without contradicting Himself, give the prophet the task of announcing Elohim's judgment on the anti-messiah, to his face. Not a fun assignment, but you’ve got to admit, there’s no one in history better qualified to do it, but the Son of Yahweh. Besides, he did die, and if he didn't the "you’re-gonna-die-once" passage in Hebrews would be rendered moot. Elohim would have been goofing up His own illustration - not likely. But take a closer look at the Hebrews 9 passage. The context emphasizes not that mortal men must die, but that that they will not die more than one time, just as Yahshua was "offered [only] once to bear the sins of many." In other words, nobody’s mortal body dies twice. For since by man came death, by a man will come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in the Messiah shall all be made alive. 1 Corinthians 15:21,22.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of YAHWEH, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of YAHWEH. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:12-14. What does that mean, anyway? It’s utter gibberish to those aligned with the new world order. But to the Tribulation chosen ones holy ones- people who want to follow YAHWEH and Yahshua even if they don’t quite know how, even if names are new and unfamiliar to them - it means hope and inner peace in a time of madness and death. To "believe in his name" is to be born anew into a divergent reality—not into the human race but into the very family of Elohim through His Son and the name He gave His Son.

After patiently explaining who YAHWEH and Yahshua is to the ignorant elite, Moses and Eliyah - in the same tactful and truthful way had when they walked the earth in centuries past - announce that unless the world repents, it will receive no rain and her plagues. Revelation 18:4,5. And only their word or witness will bring the rain back and only if they get out of her will they be saved. This, of course, is brushed off as the ravings of a matched pair of lunatics for a few weeks - until it becomes apparent that all over the globe, no precipitation is falling and Babylon the Great will fall, many haven't got a clue of its meaning. I could say more, but that is another subject. Sorry to pop your bubble, gals & guys, but actually, the Creator’s name is YAHWEH. Satan is nothing but a creature and a liar etc. And YAHWEH’S patience with a world that refuses to return His love—that even refuses to acknowledge His existence—is wearing thin. But there are a few bright spots. Gentiles are beginning to wake up from the nightmare they invited into the world, and many of them are turning to Yahshua as a result - even though they are bringing down a death sentence upon themselves for doing so. It is as Yahshua said less than a week before he offered himself up as their perfect Passover Lamb, "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; and assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of YAHWEH!’" Luke 13:34-35. Israel has never said those words in the entire two millennia since "He who comes in the name of YAHWEH" came—and left. But as the world hides in the wilderness from Satan, as they ponder the implications of all that has come to pass, they will slowly, inexorably, come to the realization that they were wrong. The time will come when they will say with a whole heart: "Blessed is Yahshua, who comes in the name of YAHWEH!"

The word Torah means "law" in Hebrew. Many Jews believe that Elohim YHWH YAHWEH inspired the Torah and gave it to Moses to give to the people. Many non Jews also believe the Torah has been passed down unchanged since ancient times. These two prophets are Moses and Eliyah, because their actions are a continuation of their previous ministry. Moses turned the waters into blood (Exodus 7:21) and smote the Egyptians with plagues. Exodus 8-11. Eliyah had the power to shut the heavens, and call both rain and fire down on command. 1 Kings 17:1, 18:38. Further, Eliyah stopped the rain for 3.5 years during the reign of Ahab. 1 Kings 17:1.

Moses represented the Law.The meaning of the name Moshe in Hebrew is Drawn Out Of The Water - Diminutive form of Moses. Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of Elohim, even to Horeb. And the angel..(Michael is Yahshua)..of YAHWEH appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. And when YAHWEH saw that he turned aside to see, Elohim called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Exodus 3:1-5. Then said YAHWEH unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no. And YAHWEH said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? See, for that YAHWEH hath given you the Sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. So the people rested on the seventh day. Exodus 16:4,28-30. EliYah represented the Prophets. (Hebrew meaning of EliYah: YAHWEH is my Elohim) he was a prophet in Israel in the 9th century B.M. who raised the dead, called fire from heaven, preached against idolatry, and went up in a whirlwind.

So, only if you keep the commandments of YAHWEH, shall you have access to this tree of life, AND the fountians of everlasting life in Yahshua to enter into the city that Yahshua has prepared for those who are one with him and his Father. New Jerusalem! The Pure Language ~ It is at this time that Yahshua commences to take charge of world affairs and will rule with a rod of iron. He will set up His rule over the earth and will continue to expand until it eventually encompasses the world. But in the last days it shall come to pass, "For the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of YAHWEH shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it". Micah 4:2. "For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of YAHWEH, to serve Him with one consent," Zephaniah 3:9.

Again, When considering the two witnesses of Revelation 11, look at the precedence already set! Two witnesses have already been associated with each other in scripture, and they are even called by their names -- Moses and Eliyah. There should be no confusion as to who is the partner of Eliyah when it comes to being a witness -- Eliyah and Moses will appear together as witnesses at the Mount of Transfiguration when Yahshua returns. The Word of Elohim is basically the beginning of a marriage, from start to finish. It is a love of a loving Father, seeking the perfect Bride for His Son, Yahshua--a Bride who is totally devoted, pure of heart, in love only to Him, submitted and perfect in His sight. Such a picture of this is found in Genesis 24:1-67--Abraham sending out his servant to find the perfect Bride for Isaac. There is so much joy and happiness in Yahshua's reign. Yahshua said: If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:15. The very same Law's and Commandments Yahshua's Father gave to the world which Yahshua observed, so if you love Yahshua you will love YAHWEH and Keep His commands applied to your heart in your actions.

And as they came down from the mountain, Yahshua charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead. And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that EliYah must first come? And Yahshua answered and said unto them, EliYah truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, That EliYah is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Matthew 17:9-12. In Matthew 5:17-19. Yahshua says that those who keep and teach Yahweh’s Law will have great treasures in Yahweh’s Kingdom: "Think not that I am come to destroy the Torah (Moses law), or the (EliYah) prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven."

" The Teachings of the Messiah according to the Scriptures." Very few are able to hear and see how effectively he shared the law. Its importance, however, cannot be underestimated. In John 5:46, for example, Yahshua confronts Jewish leaders and people, saying, "If you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me." Yahshua, then, staked his claims of being the Messiah on the right interpretation of Moses' writings.....(of the Torah). In fact, he based his entire teaching ministry on the simple truth that the Torah, Prophets, and Writings were principally about him. Luke 24. Paul, likewise, understood the Scriptures in this way. For instance, in Acts 17 Paul is carrying the Gospel into Berea, reasoning the good news of the Messiah Yahshua from the OT Scriptures also. The Bereans, we are told, examined the Scriptures carefully to see if they actually taught what Paul said they did: The Gospel of YAHWEH and the Messiah Yahshua. Acts 17:11. Yahshua and Paul, then, were able to do something that few can do nowadays, teach the Gospel only using the OT Scriptures. There are several reasons for this, but when push comes to shove, we have simply failed to properly understand the first two thirds of the scriptures. Through this class, however, I believe we will be able to break the stereotype, and begin to understand the Scriptures as Yahshua and Paul would have, and study.

But there were a few who were different and among them was an old priest named Zachariahs, Variant Of Yah'chariah, whose name means, "Yahweh Remembers." " Since the law of Moses insisted that a priest marry only a woman of good reputation, Zacharias had chosen the daughter of another priest to be his wife. Not only was she a descendant of Aaron, but she bore the name of Aaron’s own wife, Elisheba or Elizabeth, which means in Hebrew "the oath of Yahweh." Their names would spring alive with new significance before the sun set on their life together. There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth. Look, first of all, at their devoted example, And they were both righteous before YAHWEH, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of YAHWEH blameless. Luke 1:5,6.

Then Yahshua said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven. 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 wise 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? Yahushua therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

No man can come to me, except my 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 YAHWEH. 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 YAHWEH, he hath seen the Father. Verily, verily, I say unto you, they 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. John 6:32-51. The love of Yahweh and the Messiah Yahshua is fulfilled through a righteous life on the path to becoming the sons and daughters of Yahweh. Yahshua went right to the Torah and showed the Sadducees how wrong they were. He told them of Moses at the Burning Bush and how Elohim ie. Yahweh had said, speaking in the present tense, Moreover he said, I am the Elohim of thy father, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon Elohim. Exodus 3:6. OF Yahweh, Yahshua said, even the dead are alive unto Him. But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by Elohim, saying, I am the Elohim of Abraham, and the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob? Elohim is not the Elohim of the dead, but of the living. Matthew 22:31,32; Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37. How could the Sadducees have failed to see that, more so the world?

The meaning of the two witnesses, Peter, James, and John would not logically all have had exactly the same dream. Yahshua himself called what took place a "vision" Matthew 17:9, but not a mere illusion. Yahshua was actually there, though Moses and Eliyah, who were dead, not literally present. They were represented in a vision. The Greek word used for "vision" at Matthew 17:9 is ho′ra·ma, also rendered "sight." Acts 7:31. It does not imply unreality, as though the observers were laboring under a delusion. Nor were they insensible to what occurred, for they were fully awake when witnessing the transfiguration. With their literal eyes and ears they actually saw and heard what took place at that time. Luke 9:32.

As Moses and Eliyah were being separated from Yahshua, Peter, "not realizing what he was saying," suggested the erecting of three tents, one each for Yahshua, Moses, and Eliyah. Luke 9:33. But as the apostle spoke, a cloud formed, Luke 9:34, evidently (as at the tent of meeting in the wilderness) Yahweh's presence there on the mountain of the transfiguration. Exodus 40:34-38. From out of the cloud there came Yahweh's voice, saying: "This is my Son, the one that has been chosen. Listen to him." Luke 9:35. Years later, with reference to the transfiguration, Peter identified the heavenly voice as that of " YAHWEH the Father ." 2 Peter 1:17, 18. In the transfiguration, evidently Moses and Eliyah represented the Law and the Prophets, both of which pointed toward and were fulfilled in the Messiah. Wherefore the law (Torah) 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 ye are all the children of YAHWEH by faith in the Messiah Yahushua. Galatians 3:24-26. Elohim, who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the world; Who being the brightness of His glory, and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on High; Hebrews 1:1-3. It was a vision of the Future not what was going on in heaven nor on earth, it shall be at the time when the dead in the Messiah rise it will be reality.

Romans 7:25 - Thanks be to YAHWEH through Yahushua the Messiah our Saviour. So then with the mind I myself serve the law (Torah) of YAHWEH; but with the flesh the law of sin. So then with THE MIND I MYSELF SERVE THE LAW (TORAH) OF ELOHIM; but with THE FLESH THE LAW OF SIN. But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith YAHWEH, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their Elohim, and they shall be my people. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know YHWH: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith YAHWEH; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Jeremiah 31:33,34.

Matthew 7:21-23 ~ Not every one that saith unto me, My Master!, my master, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, My master, my master, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. All of these people have taken the name of YAHWEH and Yahshua the Messiah, and have performed all of these wonderful works in the name of the "them". But not as one, instead of getting the reward of the righteous...) And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Hear the ancient call of the Shofar!!! It is a sound of WARNING and PREPARATION!!! The sound of the Shofar should take us all the way back to a father that was obedient to the point of offering up his only son!!! Remember the RAM because the LAMB was for the future. Every time we hear this sound, may it remind us of the Son that was offered on the same mount!!! MASHIYAH YAHSHUA AND TORAH OF YAHWEH IS FOR ALL PEOPLE!! But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the Holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Yahshua the Messiah. All scripture is given by inspiration of YAHWEH, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of YAHWEH may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:14-17. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, And have tasted the good word of YAHWEH, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they impale to themselves the Son of YAHWEH afresh, and put him to an open shame. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from Elohim: Hebrews 6:4-7.

(Yet, another example of those who have taken the name of YAHWEH in vain.) But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. For YAHWEH is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have showed toward His name, in that ye have ministered to the holy ones, and do minister. And we desire that every one of you do seek the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end: That ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. For when YAHWEH made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he swore by himself, Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Wherein YAHWEH, willing more abundantly to show unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath: That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for YAHWEH to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil; Whither the forerunner is for us entered, even Yahushua, made an high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 6:8-20.

Moses, even though he died, appeared on the Mount of Transfiguration as one of two witnesses to that event. There is already a precedence for the pairing up of Eliyah and Moses as the two witnesses. The Transfiguration of Yahshua the Messiah is a foreshadowing of when the elect will be transfigured, when the dead in the Messiah rise first and are gathered together with Yahshua's remaining of the 144,000 on earth. Revelation 11:1-3. The Gentiles will trample the holy city under foot for 42 months. John visioned the measuring of the temple. These are visions which John saw, not the literal temple that he was to measure, and it was not the literal city of Jerusalem that was to be trodden underfoot for a literal forty-two months. Ezekiel 22:26.40:1-4.42:20.43:10,11. Focus is on Yahshua and the 144,000 who reign with him from heaven, who will clearly and carefully explain YAHWEH'S way of life. Isaiah 30:20,21. New Jerusalem comes down from heaven! Here we see a measuring of Jerusalem in Zechariah 2:1-5 after the captivity, Zechariah 1:1 and was designed to show that Elohim would preserve and protect His suffering people. Thus, the measuring of the temple in Revelation 11:1-2 was to separate and protect His people, and is parallel to the sealing of the 144,000 in chapter 7. They were sealed and measured for the same purpose. The temple sanctuary represents the spiritual temple, Elohim YAHWEH'S Spirit of Truth the same Spirit His Son Yahshua the Messiah shares. 1 Corinthians 3:16, 2 Corinthians 6:16; Ephesians 2:21; & 1 Timothy 3:15.

The temple was to be measured but the outside court was to be left out. The courtyard outside the temple would receive Divine recognition and protection, while the outer court the nations wicked would not. In other words, YAHWEH'S chosen annoited ones in the Messiah Yahshua and those witnessing would be trodden under foot or persecuted by the world, but not touched in their relation to Elohim. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the Elohim of the earth. Revelation 11:4. Greater meaning is in reading Zechariah 4:2-6.The two olive trees and the two lampstands refer to this prophecy given to Zechariah. Elohim's answer indicates that the two olive trees, which bear oil, and the lampstands, which bear light, meaning something resulting from the work of the Holy Spirit of Elohim ie. YHWH YAHWEH, and not from the power of men. For YOU know this first, that no prophecy of Scripture springs from any private interpretation. For prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of YAHWEH spoke as they were moved by Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:20,21.

There is, indeed, something which bears light as lampstands do, and which results not from the power of men, but rather from the work of YAHWEH'S Holy Spirit the oil taken from the two olive trees it is the Word of YAHWEH. The two witnesses thus emphasizes the two parts of the Word of YAHWEH..The OT and the NT. Similar to a lampstand, the Word of YAHWEH is a source of light. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalms 119:105. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: Proverbs 6:23. For YAHWEH, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the Glory of YAHWEH in the face of Yahshua the Messiah. 2 Corinthians 4:6. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 2 Peter 1:18, 19. Yahshua said: Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I will I be in the midst of them. Matthew 18:19,20. One witness shall not rise up against a man for any iniquity, or for any sin, in any sin that he sinneth: at the mouth of two witnesses, or at the mouth of three witnesses, shall the matter be established. Deuteronomy 19:15.

Yahshua said: "YOU are searching the Scriptures, because YOU think that by means of them YOU will have everlasting life; and these are the very ones that bear witness about me. And yet YOU do not want to come to me that YOU may have life. I do not accept glory from men, but I well know that YOU do not have the love of Elohim in YOU. I have come in the name of my Father, but YOU do not receive me; if someone else arrived in his own name, YOU would receive that one. How can YOU believe, when YOU are accepting glory from one another and YOU are not seeking the Glory that is from the Only Elohim? Do not think that I will accuse YOU to my Father; there is one that accuses YOU, Moses, in whom YOU have put YOUR hope. In fact, if YOU believed Moses YOU would believe me, for that one wrote about me. But if YOU do not believe the writings of that one, how will YOU believe my sayings?" John 5:39-47.

Both the OT and the NT bear witness to the Messsiah and his work, one announcing his coming, and the other confirming that he truly came. These two witnesses agree to establish this fact Yahshua is the Messiah promised by Elohim, and His sacrifice gives us access to everlasting life. John 8:17-19, Acts 13:30,31. "In the Last Days," Elohim said, "I will pour out My Spirit upon my men slaves and women slaves in those days, and they will prophesy. Acts 2:18-21. It has been the last day's since Yahweh's Son's death. Acts 20:26-28-35, 22:15. Revelation 11:3-13, The Two Witnesses "Two" show strength. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12. Revelation 11:2, 12:6,14; Daniel 7:21-26 clothed in sackcloth a coarse sack fabric which was worn by ancient people in time of mourning; thus, they were prophesying through a time of affliction or persecution, Revelation 11:3 forseeing a future event. Then the end will come. Matthew 24:14. The two witnesses appear only once in the NT, in the book of Revelation, And I will cause my two witnesses to prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days dressed in sackcloth." Revelation 11:3. Genesis 37:33,34.

The two witnesses are Moses and Eliyah their witnessing work done of YAHWEH and the good news of His Kingdom, and the Gospel of the Messiah Yahshua, and complied of the annoited 144,000 who will reign with Yahshua for 1,000 years. Revelation 11:5-10; 11:13-15; 14:8. Babylon the Great has fallen. 16:19; 17:5,6,18; 18:2,10,16,18,19,21,24; 19:2, And you will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my name. Matthew 24:9-51. Yahshua's prophecy originally forecasted events that were fulfilled in a general way in the first century, but only in a general way. However, it does establish a pattern of how events will ultimately unfold in the finale. Some believe that all the essential elements of Yahshua's prophecy have already been realized over the course of the past century. Has there been an increasing of criminal lawlessness in recent decades? Without a doubt. Also, it is easy to point to clerics and cults of apostate Christianity, that many false prophets have arisen to mislead the masses many don't realize that they are part of apostate Christianity also. As far as the gospel good news of the kingdom being witnessed throughout the earth, Yahshua said in Matthew 24:9-14. Seems, that the witness work will stop. Except! for the outbreak of the Great Tribulation the words of the Messiah have already come to pass. Upon closer examination, there are compelling reasons to believe that these events have fulfilled prophecy. Take the matter of the foretold increasing of lawlessness and the cooling off of love of greater number. Matthew 24:12.

"Lawlessness," as it is used in the Scriptures, does not necessarily relate to criminal activity; but, rather, to apostasy and hypocrisy in not keeping of the law (The Torah) Yahshua said: that he would tell all religious hypocrites who spoke falsely in his name to "get away from me you workers of lawlessness." Matthew 7:23. Then there is the "man of lawlessness," 2 Thessalonians 2:7-12 who promotes apostasy among the children of Elohim and sits down in Elohim's temple, pretending to be Elohim. As for the cooling off, that must pertain to all religion's all people and their apostate earthly temples as well. Revelation 2:4; 3:14-18. Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious. For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN MIGHTY ONE. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto 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; Acts 17:22-24. Yahshua said to the seven assemblies thence, which are not earthly temples today, they are the people on earth, and all are told to REPENT! Only one assembly seems worthy. Revelation 3:7. It shows that some allow their love for Elohim to grow cold. So, it is evident that the increasing of lawlessness and hypocrisy, along with a cooling off of love for Elohim, takes place all over the world. After Yahshua was resurrected things changed. Prior to Yahshua's death the disciples had been instructed to go out preaching, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of YAHWEH is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. Mark 1:15. But after Yahshua's ascension to heaven and the out pouring of Holy Spirit ten days later, the apostles and disciples began preaching a slightly different message. They no longer announced that the kingdom was near, but instead they bore witness to the Messiah's resurrection and that the kingdom was "here".

The Hebrew institution that Elohim had used and that the Messiah recognized and supported had suddenly become irrelevant. It was the continued witness to Yahshua's resurrection that aroused the hatred and animosity of the Jewish establishment, who were the very ones who had killed the Messiah. The apostles were hauled before the high court and ordered to stop preaching. Afterwards, a great persecution arose and some of the apostles were killed. The book of Acts reports that all of the disciples living in Jerusalem were scattered. Paul was hauled before governors and kings. But since all of the original were Jewish and they did not at first renounce Judaism they followed into apostate Christianity, thence when they became believers, the "brothers" who persecuted them were their own Hebrew country men. After assemblies sprang up outside of Palestine the Jewish people also took to persecuting believers. What does the first century pattern establish for us? True Children of YAHWEH, today among those who share the good news are in a similar position relative to the Messiah's parousia as were the apostles before Yahshua's death and resurrection. Then, as now, the apostles and 70 whom Yahshua sent out to preach did not fully grasp how Elohim's purposes were going to work out. They could not comprehend what Yahshua was saying when he spoke of his death and resurrection nor the transfiguration.

Is anyone paying attention to what's going to occur? Yahshua told them that they would not complete the cities of Israel until the Son of man arrived. Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. Matthew 10:23,26. See Isaiah 42:18-22 & Ezekiel 33:1-33. Further, brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise up against parents and will have them put to death. Matthew 10:21,22. A future event to come the first resurrection then the complete sealing of the remaining 144,000 on earth who go together with Yahshua caught away. Daniel 12:1-13, Zechariah 4:10-14, Matthew 24:36, Luke 1:32,33; 1 Corinthians 15:51,52; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-18; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12.

But before that, when Yahshua was arrested and executed, all of the apostles and disciples were stumbled. But when Yahshua appeared to them after his resurrection, he first rebuked them for being slow of heart to believe, but then he fully opened up their minds to understand the prophecies as they related to him. The transformation of the apostles was astounding.The above establishes a pattern to be fulfilled during Yahshua’s parousia. Just as those apostles were originally entrusted with a preaching work, even though they were in a state of ignorance that was not remedied until after the Messiah Yahshua appeared to them. All religions including the JW's have been preaching about Elohim's Kingdom in a similar state of ignorance and disbelief that will not be dispelled until the actual revelation of the Messiah. Pay Attention to Daniel’s Prophecy in chapter 12. Just as Yahshua literally appeared before his disciples after his resurrection, we should not suppose that the manifestation and revelation of Yahshua the Messiah in glory will be anything less. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his master hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Matthew 24:45. And shall not YAHWEH avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? Luke 18:7,8.

Refreshment: The strong witness of YAHWEH will eventually triumph, though bitterly opposed. The two witnesses being raised and taken into heaven indicates New Jerusalem the 144,000. John's vision compares with Isaiah's vision of the figurative in Isaiah 26:13-19 and with Ezekiel's vision of the valley of dry bones. Ezekiel 37:1-14 Daniel 7:21-27; Revelation 11:15. The purpose of John's words was to give comfort and encouragement to those suffering in persecution of any age or era. Revelation 13:5-7. [The beast] will be unrestrained and given authority to continue for forty-two months. And it will be granted to him to make war with the remaining holy ones and to conquer them. These 1260 years will be a time of persecution for the believers faithful to YAHWEH, and those who followed His Son Yahshua, and those remaining ones until the end. And if anyone wants to harm them, fire issues forth from their mouths and devours their enemies. Revelation 11:5, Jeremiah 5:14.

Emphasizing the two witnesses, the Word of YAHWEH is a fire devouring its enemies. But this action also calls to mind the two. Numbers 16:28,35. 2 Kings 1:2. The deeds of the two witnesses remind us of Moses' and Eliyah's. Similar to Eliyah, the two witnesses have power to shut heaven for a prophetic period, of three years and six months, that is; for 1260 years (3½ years x 360 days). Leviticus 26:18,19; Deuteronomy 28:15,23; Proverbs 28:9; Luke 4:25; & Revelation 11:6. Within those chapters in the Scriptures during the 1260 years, which has to be calculated from and to, the two witnesses, shut heaven, to mankind's prayers, because of their great apostasy, even their prayers are something detestable. Psalms 105:26,29-32,34,36. Revelation 11:6. The two witnesses, have power to strike the earth with all kinds of plagues. Revelation 2:22,23; Deuteronomy 33:4 1 Kings 16:31; 18:22. Eliyah and Moses: Eliyah to symbolize the Book is not only due to the nature of their deeds. Moses is closely associated with the law (Torah), and Eliyah with the prophets. Matthew 5:17. Luke 24:44,45; John 1:45; Acts 13:15; 24:14; 28:23; & 1 Corinthians 3:14,15.

Finally, the Word of Elohim YHWH associates the name of Moses with the OT. In fact, Moses symbolizes the people of Elohim under the Old Covenant, that is, the people of Israel; and Eliyah symbolizes the people of Elohim under the messenger of the New Covenant. Malachi 3:1; 4:4,5. Daniel 7:23. Shortly before the end of the 1260 years, the Word of YAHWEH suffers an attack of the beast, symbolizing Sod´om and Egypt. Revelation 9:2,3. The fifth trumpet Revelation 9:1-11. In fact, the locusts of the fifth trumpet and the beast of Revelation chapter 11, which kills the two witnesses, both symbolize the same power. Revelation 11:7,8 while they stand at a distance because of their fear of her torment and say, ‘Too bad, too bad, you great city, Babylon you strong city, because in one hour your judgment has arrived!’ Revelation 18:10. See Exodus 5:2; Isaiah 14:4,13; Ezekiel 16:49,50, Yahshua identifies with his people the 144,000 and his ministry. By indicating that the two witnesses were killed where also our Messiah was impaled, this prophecy testifies to the abominations committed against his name and his Father's cause. Psalms 79:1,2; Daniel 12:1-13; John 7:7; Acts 2:21; 4:10-12; Revelation 11:9,10, 20:9.

This period of persecution will last forty-two months-the same length of time for the event of Revelation 11:3; 12:6,14; 13:5. This is the same amount of time Daniel in his vision said the fourth kingdom, would persecute the holy ones. Daniel 7:21-27, Matthew 24:6, 14; Luke 21:9; 21:24..which meant that it would have its "end". Revelation 11:2,3; 12:6; 13:5,7 and Daniel 7:13-15 all referring to the same time period." Daniel 7:23,25, Revelation 11:14-19. But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the Sacred secret of YAHWEH should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Revelation 10:7. This is precisely as Daniel the prophet declared. Daniel 2:44,45; 7:21-27. Will bring victory for the holy ones, and will demonstrate that the Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom. Ezekiel 37:5-14. And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from YAHWEH entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud; and their enemies beheld them. And the same hour was there a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake were slain of men seven thousand: and the remnant were affrighted, and gave Glory to the Elohim of heaven. The second woe is past; and, behold, the third woe cometh quickly. And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the Kingdoms of our Elohim, and of His Messiah; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Revelation 11:11-15.
