Translation Problems
Our English language is quite weak when it comes to representing the words of
the scriptures. We only have one word for Lord, whereas in Hebrew, they can
easily distinguish between Lord Adonai (the Almighty) and Lord Adoni (one who
is an appointed ruler). Greek is a fair vehicle for carrying Yahshuah’s words, but
even Greek is limited for it too only has one word for Lord: Kurios.
Another thing that we have lost in translation is the idea of Zoe-life (eternal life).
In English we only have one word for life, whereas in Greek they at least
distinguish between two kinds of life: psyche-life (physical) and Zoe-life (eternal).
Jesus said we must hate our psyche-life to gain zoe-life. People mistakenly think
that Yahshuah came to give us an abundant psyche-life, but he came to give us
an abundant Zoe life. We must actually despise our psyche-life in this world.
Greek’s greatest weakness is in the area of prepositions, it very hard to know if
something is “for”, “by”, or “at”.
Some believe Yahshuah spoke Greek and the Greek Gospels we have came
directly from his lips. I reject that concept because it was a sin for Hebrews to
speak the names of foreign gods.


Exodus 23:13 The name of other gods let it not be heard out of thy mouth.
Joshua 23:7 neither make mention of the names of their gods
Greek ripples with the names of their imagined gods. And so I don’t think
Yahshuah would have used words like Theos (Zeus), or Pater (Father) a name
associated with many demons like Dis Pater (god of the underworld (hell)), or
Ouranos. Ouranos was the first Greek god. He was a sky and storm god who
devoured his children. According to Mark14:61-62 Yahshuah tells Kayafa, the
High Priest, that he is indeed the Messiah, and if you believe he spoke Greek,
he said “furthermore you will see this mortal coming on the cloud of Ouranos Ho
nephele ho Ouranos.” No Jew would have used the name Ouranos in public, or
he would have been stoned.
It is imperative however that we understand when we speak of ancient
Empires that we not think of them as modern empires. They were not political
in the way our modern empires are, but they were religious empires.
To understand the world of Yahshuah, we must understand the
Greek/Roman/Egyptian/Canaanite/Babylonian mythologies and the mystery
religions to fully understand how Yahshuah differed from their mythic heroes
and fought against their Satanic cults.
"Eight early writers assert that Matthew wrote his Gospel in Hebrew: altogether
there are over thirty formal assertions that this was so in the works of Papias,
Hegesippus, Irenaeus, Origen, Eusebius of Caesarea, Cyril of Jerusalem,
12
Epiphanius and Jerome" (Jean Carmignac, "Studies in the Hebrew Background
of the Synoptic Gospels," Annual of the Swedish Theological Institute 7 (196869), p. 88
"Matthew collected the oracles (ta logia) in the Hebrew language, and each
interpreted them as best he could." - Papias (Eusebius, H.E. 3.39.16)
"Matthew also issued a written Gospel among the Hebrews n their own dialect
while Peter and Paul were preaching at Rome and laying the foundations of the
church." - Irenaeus, Adv. Haer. 3.1.1
"As having learnt by tradition concerning the four Gospels, which alone are
unquestionable in the Church of God under heaven, that first was written
according to Matthew, who was once a tax collector but afterwards an apostle of
Jesus Christ, who published it for those who from Judaism came to believe,
composed as it was in the Hebrew language." - Origen (Eusebius, H.E. 6.25.4)
“Matthew, also called Levi, apostle and aforetimes publican, composed a
gospel of Christ at first published in Judea in Hebrew.” Jerome's De Viris Illustribus
chapter 3
“José O'Callaghan has argued that one fragment ( 7Q5) found among the Dead
Sea Scrolls is a New Testament text from the Gospel of Mark, chapter 6, verses
52–53. A successful identification of this fragment as a passage from Mark would
make it the earliest extant New Testament document, dating somewhere
between A.D. 30 and 60”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Sea_Scrolls#Christian_connections
One reason I believe the Gospel (and other New Testament writings) were
written much earlier than current scholars believe, is that no writer in the New
Testament records the destruction of Jerusalem which took place in 70 AD. Such
a cataclysmic event from which the Jews have never recovered, would have
been mentioned by any writer after 70 AD. I believe the four Gospel writers
wrote what they personally witnessed shortly after 30 AD, but no later than 69
AD. John A. T. Robinson (Redating the New Testament, The Priority of John)
dates John’s writings before 40 AD.
I further believe, to really get to the heart of the Gospels, we need to ask
ourselves “how would this be said in Hebrew?” I believe Yahshuah spoke
Hebrew and not Aramaic. Aramaic was a mix of Babylonian and Hebrew.
“M.H. Segal who in 1909 suggested that the Jewish people in the land of Israel at
the time of Jesus used Hebrew as their primary spoken and written language.
Segal was an authority on Mishnaic Hebrew. The discovery of the Bar Kochvah
letters have since confirmed his conclusions.
13
Professor Shmuel Safrai, also of the Hebrew University, a founding member of
the Jerusalem School, concluded that Hebrew, not Aramaic, was the primary
spoken language of Jesus. He has since written several articles on the subject,
some of which may be found in the periodical Jerusalem Perspective
(www.JerusalemPerspective.com).”
“The Rabbis of Jesus day and for hundreds of years after him delivered their
parables, legal rulings, prayers and sermons entirely in Hebrew.” (Safrai 1991)
The Maccabean Revolt, in 168 BC, was a revolt against all things Greek. It was
said, “the day on which the Bible had been translated into Greek was as fateful
as that on which the golden calf had been worshiped.” (Soferim i.)
“After the war with Titus no Jew was allowed to permit his son to learn Greek.”
(Soṭah ix. 14)
With this in mind, I have tried to retell the Gospel based on the Hebrew
subtext. I do not claim to be a teacher, or a prophet or an expert, I am just a
student-scholar sharing his notes.
Author’s Technical Notes
The word Gospel is loosely translated as Wisdom, Words of Yah, Deeds,
Message, Good News from the Battle Field, Teaching, in Hebrew “Davar” or
Memra (instructions) and in Greek “Logos” (sayings, commands, words).
I will use Hebrew names and call Jesus by his Hebrew name Yahshuah
( ‫ ישועה‬-Salvation). I will call God by his Hebrew name Yah, or “Abba,” or
“Father,” or if God is used as a noun I will use Eloah (singular for Elohim
meaning the one high God), Aloha in Aramaic, or Adonai (Lord Almighty)., or by
his full title Yah Eloah Tsebaoth -Yah the God of Angel Hosts, (Tsebaoth is
pronouncedTseb-aw-aw).
Since the word “Spirit” in both Greek (Pneuma) and Hebrew (Ruach) can
also mean angel, sometimes I will use the word angel where traditionalists used
Spirit. Since spirit is neuter I will translated it as it, not he or she. Wisdom in
traditional translations is called “ a Lady”, “a bride”, and “she”, but those are
poetic metaphors, and I will render Wisdom with the neuter “it”.
Sometimes I will call “Yahshuah” by the Jewish title “Rabbi” (teacher, master)
and sometimes “Adoni” (an appointed ruler, or judge, or lord). The Hebrew
writers sometimes called Moses, the Judges, and angels “Elohim” (gods), but
only in the sense that they were standing in the place of Yah as his appointed
representatives, therefore one time I will call Yahshuah an Elohim.
14
Yah’s “Presence” (his special angel) appeared as a cloud, which I will call the
Shokeyn (Shekinah) Glory. The Angel of the Presence is also the arm, hand,
finger, or voice (Bat Kol), of Yah.
I have used many Hebrew Proper names, but not for Mary, Peter, and Judas
and John the Baptizer . I will call the devil “Azazel”.
I have added some special comments in parentheses, or in bold font. I have
tried to stay as close as possible to the four stories told by the four Gospel writers
as I harmonized them.
In addition to the many English translations, I used several Greek, Hebrew ,
Syriac, Coptic and Aramaic texts. If I used a phrase or two directly from another
translator, it was unintentional. Whenever I quoted large sections, I have tried to
note from which translation it was taken. I do have many direct phrases from the
Authorized King James version, and I do have copyright permission for it from
Thomas Nelson Company of Nashville, TN. I also have permission from William
Zeitler to quote from the Faithful New Testament http://faithfulbible.com .
I also used many OT quotes from http://home.aol.com/kwdo/gospelspreface.html
Where you will find extensive footnotes on the texts used for Keith Winterowd’s
Concordant Study of the Gospels based on the Leningrad Codex (the oldest
complete New Testament). In all these versions I substituted the word Yah, or
the Eloah, when Lord referred to God, and Master, or Rabbi, when it referred to
Yahshuah.
As this project was nearing completion I discovered www.biblebureau.com
which has over 100 English translations online. I quoted somewhat randomly
from various Old Testament translations looking always for the one that gave the
clearest translation of a verse.
I produced this book because I feel our English translators since the 17 th
Century have translated many of their preconceived doctrines into the texts
creating a Yahshuah who is not the same as the one who rose from the grave,
and a Gospel contrary to the one he taught.
Prior to Yahshuah, Yah was seen an angry deity who wanted an endless
supply of blood. Yahshuah said Yah does not want sacrifice, but mercy.
Yahshuah ordered his followers to lead meek lives of love, peace, mercy,
kindness and forgiveness in imitation of the Father.
This is Not a New Translation
I have not tried to render the four gospels word for word, so this cannot be
called a translation.
This is More than a Paraphrase
15
A paraphrase is a retelling of the something in your own words, without
adding or taking away much, so this is not a true paraphrase. I have taken the
liberty to go beyond and embroider. By embroider I mean I have at times
enhanced the dialogue with what sounded like the next logical thing a speaker
would say. I have added and taken away. Please, do not say I have altered the
word of Yah for I am sharing notes on the word of Yah and not the word of Yah
itself.
This is like a Commentary
This is not a normal commentary where you look at what someone said and
make comments. At times, I put the commentary in speakers’ mouths and it
reads like it is part of the text.
A good friend warned me that putting words in God’s mouth is risky business
and highly dangerous, so I will say at the beginning. This is not the word of God.
This is one man’s years of study, with flair for poetry, retelling the Gospel as he
understands it and hears it. Think of it as a devotional.
A Dynamic Equivalent
A dynamic equivalent is an attempt to convey the meaning behind the text. So
instead of looking at the literal Greek, Hebrew, Aramaic, Syriac, Latin and
English, the interpreter asks “What is the thought being conveyed and how much
can I stretch it to say what I think the text is saying?” Therefore, this is a dynamic
equivalent.
In short, what I have produced is a paraphrased, dynamic equivalent with
commentaries that reads like a translation. Assume that everything you read here
is poetic license.
Yahshuah said, “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not
pass away.” (Mt.24:35).
So whatever translation you read, you will find the words of Yahshuah intact.
When translations vary, they vary mainly in the Old Testament and the writings of
the Apostles, but so far, all the translations still preserve the heart of Yahshuah’s
message. If you want to know, the Father’s will focus on the words of Yahshuah.
He said his words were spirit and life. He is the way, the truth and the life. His
words will set you free and all those who obey them will find eternal life. I
recommend you diligently study the red-letter words of Yahshuah before you
even begin to read other authors. He alone is the Messiah and his words must be
the standard by which all else is measured. Everything that does not line up with
what he said, can be used for inspiration, but not for doctrine. If you build your
theology solely on the words of Yahshuah, you will be on a rock that will never
fall.
I am only one man who has sinned often and do not present this work as the
final, or best word. I have studied for many years and this is the fruit of my study.
I hope it will help you in yours. Please write me if you see errors.

INTRODUCTION
This is the life and message of Jesus (Yahshuah) as found in the four Scrolls
that circulated shortly after his death.
Before I Begin, a Word About the Kingdom
The expressions “the kingdom”, “the Kingdom of the father”, “the kingdom of
God”, “the kingdom of heaven,” or “the Kingdom of the heavens” (Malchut
Samayim), are interchangeable. In context it can be a name for Yah, a location,
or Yah’s Dominion. For example Matthew quotes Yahshuah saying ,
"I solemnly tell you that it is with difficulty that a rich man will enter the
Kingdom of the Heavens. Yes, I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the
eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God." Mt 19:23-24
As a location, the Kingdom is the place where humans and Yah dwell together in
love and harmony. Yah is the King and Father and the citizens are his beloved
children. The Gospel of the Kingdom tells how humans who have lost the
connection with the Father can be reunited to him. Yahshuah was the first man to
achieve the reunion and therefore is the Prince of the kingdom. He left us
instructions with the promise that if we follow his instructions, we can make the
connection now in this life and reach the full reunion on the Resurrection Day.
One way to translate the Kingdom of Yah, or Kingdom of Heaven, or the
Heavens, is to call it the Imperial Reign of Yah Over Our Lives. By following
the commandments of Yahshuah today, we can already enter the Kingdom by
submitting to Yah’s reign over our lives. We do this by obeying the
commandments taught by Yahshuah.
(See The 215 Commandments of Yahshuah in the Appendix)
The best thing about this imperial reign is we do not become citizens as
slaves, but as beloved children of the king; brothers and sisters and friends of the
prince.
A Word About the Angel of Yah
Yahshuah said he was the only human to ever see Yah. That means that
wherever Yah seems to have appeared in the Old Testament it was either a
17
vision (a trance-like dream state in which things are symbols and not the real
things), or they saw his special angel. The Jews called the angel by the name
“Yah” but they never worshipped him knowing that he was only an ambassador
of Yah. According to the Jewish Online Encyclopedia he was called the Memra,
Word of Yah, or Chokma, Wisdom of Yah, the arm of Yah, the hand of Yah, or
Ruach, Spirit of Yah. Yah spoke through him in the burning bush (although the
voice heard was the angel’s and not the Father’s). He plays a major role in the
New Testament although our English translators have translated him out.
Yahshuah said you have never heard Yah’s voice nor seen his form (Jn
5:37) so he only appeared in the Old Testament through his angel, his
ambassador and in the New Testament, through his angel and human
ambassador Yahshuah.
The Gospel of the Kingdom Began with Adam
When the first man, Adam, sinned, he was put out of Yah’s Kingdom, but was
given a promise that one day his descendants would be restored to the Kingdom.
Adam was the first man to hear the good news about the restoration of the
Kingdom.
Abraham and the Kingdom
Abraham was the next man to hear the good news about the Kingdom. Yah
told him that people from all over the earth would call him father, and his sons
and daughters from every nation would live as princes and princesses in the
coming Kingdom. Abraham rejoiced to learn that one of his descendants would
be the one to restore the Kingdom. Yahshuah was that descendant, and this is
his story.
Background
As I said, the story began with Adam and Abraham. Then it moved to
Abraham’s grandson Yah-kov (nicknamed Israel) and the line of his son Yahudah
whose chief descendant was King David. In 586 BC, the last King of Yahudah,
Coniah (a.k.a. Jechoniah, Jehoiachin or Joachin) was so wicked, he was told that
no descendant of his would ever again sit on the throne.
This curse came down in 7 BC to a named Yosef of Netzeret. Yosef was
legally the King of Israel, but because of the curse on Coniah was not allowed to
ascend the throne. Yosef was not the blood father of Yahshuah, but raised him
as his own son. In Hebrew he would be called a Charash which means a
craftsman, a skilled fabricator, a workman in wood or stone or many objects.
Since Antipas was building the city of Sepphoris about five miles from Netzeret it
is likely that Yosef and Yahshuah both worked among the Romans and Greeks
who had many mansions there.
A Note About Malaks
18
Yah, the Eloah Teb-aw-aw, is a ruach (spirit). Yah is called Elohim el
Shadday (the highest God-El).
Yah is the father of minions of spirits also called Elohim; specifically (bene
(sons of) Elohim)
The bene Elohim spirits were created good, but some rebelled and became
evil.
The many Elohim spirits have many roles. Some are sent to earth with
messages from Yah. The messengers are called Malaks. Every Elohim Malak
is a spirit son of Yah. Yah is the father of all spirits but not all are Malaks.
Yah also used men as malaks, but they were not Elohim Malaks, but mortal
men and women.
Malak ben Elohim (was translated as agellos in the Septuagintgint and
angels, or holy ones in English)
Michael appears to be the chief Malak bene Elohim. Yahshuah could not
have been a Malak bene Elohim (an angel) for it is written:
To which of the angels (Malak ben Elohim) did Yah ever say you are my son,
this day I have begotten you? The answer is none.
“Yah has never said to any of the angels, "You are my Son, because today I
have become your Father!" Neither has God said to any of them, "I will be
his Father, and he will be my Son!" Heb.1:5
“Yah never said to any of his angels: "Sit here at my right side until I put
your enemies as a footstool under your feet." Heb. 1:13
Yahshuah was a flesh and blood and bones man without a trace of angel, or
elohim in him; a man born from a womb like all men.
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him
with glory and honor. Psalm 8:5

The Gospel of the Kingdom: Retold
1.
Z’kharYah, the Father of John, the Baptizer
Lk. 1:1-80
In 8 BC, Yahshuah’s uncle Z’kharYah went into the Temple to burn incense.
The priests chose him that year to represent them. He was alone praying at the
Altar of Incense, where only priests were allowed to go. Outside, a large crowd
was waiting. Z’kharYah and his wife Eliseva were both righteous and kept all the
laws, commandments and ordinances of the Mosaic Law. For many years, they
had been praying to have a baby, but now were beyond the age of conception.
As Z’kharYah was placing incense on the altar, the angel Gabriel appeared to
him. He was standing to the right of the altar and he said,
“Do not be afraid. I have a message from Father. He has heard your prayers,
and you will have a child. When the child is born, you are to name him John. You
will be filled with delight and many will rejoice at his birth, for he will be great in
Father’s sight. However, he must never eat grapes, grape juice, raisins, or wine,
or any intoxicants, for he will be filled with a pure spirit (the angel that was in
Elijah) even in the womb.
John has all the markings of a Nazarite
Numbers 6:1-4 GOD spoke to Moses: "Speak to the People of Israel; tell
them, If any of you, man or woman, wants to make a special Nazirite vow,
consecrating yourself totally to GOD, you must not drink any wine or beer, no
intoxicating drink of any kind, not even the juice of grapes—in fact, you must
not even eat grapes or raisins. For the duration of the consecration, nothing from
the grapevine—not even the seeds, not even the skin—may be eaten. Also, for the
duration of the consecration you must not have your hair cut. Your long hair
will be a continuing sign of holy separation to GOD.
Jdg 13:5 For, lo, thou shalt conceive, and bear a son (Samson); and no razor
shall come on his head: for the child shall be a Nazarite unto God from the
womb: and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.
20
Amos 2:11-12 ) And I raised up some of your sons as prophets and some of
your young men as Nazarites; is this not so, O children of Israel? says Yah.
Luke 1:16 and many of the sons of Israel will he (John) turn back to Yah their
Eloah.
Luke 1:17 Also, he will go before him with Elijah's( Angel) spirit and power,
to turn back the hearts of fathers to children and the disobedient ones to the
practical wisdom of the righteous ones; to get ready for Yah a prepared people.
John will turn many people’s hearts back to Father. The same guiding angel
that was in Elijah will be in John, and he will turn the hearts of the parents to the
instruction of their children. He will cause sinners to seek wisdom from the wise
and prepare them for the arrival of the Messiah.”
Z’kharYah replied, “How can I be sure of this? Can you give me a sign? We
are too old to produce children.”
The angel said, “I am Gabriel (“the mighty man of Yah”), I stand in the
presence of Father and he sent me to bring you this wonderful news. But since
you asked for a sign, and have not believed my word, you will now be unable to
speak until the boy is born.”
Meanwhile outside the crowd was getting restless. They wondered what was
taking Z’kharYah so long. When he finally came out, he was gesturing excitedly,
and they saw that he was unable to speak. They realized that he had seen a
vision.
A few weeks after he returned home, Eliseva brought the joyous news that
their attempt to conceive had been successful. She did not tell anyone for about
five months, but rejoiced that Father had finally heard their prayer.
Luke 1:25 This is the way Yah has dealt with me in these days when he has
given me his attention to take away my reproach among men.
Eliseva remembered the scriptures about Rachael and Hannah
Gen 30:23 And she (Racael) became pregnant and brought a son to birth.
Then she said: God has taken away my reproach!
1Sa.1:11 And she (Hannah) went on to make a vow, and said: O Yah
Tsebaoth of (angel) hosts if you will without fail look upon the affliction of
your servant girl and actually remember me, and you will not forget your
servant girl and actually give to your servant girl a male offspring, I will give
him to You all the days of his life, and no razor will come upon his head.

The Angel Gabriel Appears to Mary
Lk. 1:26
At about that time, Father sent Gabriel to Netzeret to see Mary. Yosef, the
Charash (craftsman, skilled fabricator of many objects like wood and stone) was
her fiancée. When Gabriel appeared to her, he said,
“Do not be frightened Mary, for you have found favor with Father.”
Mary was amazed to see an angel and to hear his words.
“You are the most favored of all maidens for Father has chosen you to bear a
special child. Moreover, when the boy is born, you must name him “Salvation”
Yah-shuah. He will be great, and be called the Son of Yah Eloah-Tsebaoth , and
Yah will place him on the throne of King David and he will rule over the House of
Yah-kov forever, and his kingdom will never end.”
Mary asked Gabriel, “How can I have such a child? I am a virgin and have
never lain with any man.”
Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, “the Breath of Yah shall
come over you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore
also that holy one which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of Yah”.
(Father is a spirit and by speaking, he created all things. His spoken
word, carried by his breath, will create a human sperm within your womb.
Yahshuah was 100% human DNA with real flesh, blood and bones. He was not
an angel or re-existent spirit. Spirits cannot become humans. They can appear
as humans and other shapes like clouds, fire and doves, but they only appear as
these things for spirits are incorporeal and except for a few on missions,
invisible). Yahshuah was a real human, not a pre-existent angel, or spirit.
He.1:5 For example, to which one of the angels did he ever say: You are my
son, today, I have become your father?
“Six months ago your barren cousin Eliseva conceived in her old age. You
see with Father nothing is impossible.”
Mary humbly replied. “I am the handmaiden of Yah; whatever He wishes to do
in my life, He may do it.”
22

Mary Visits Her Cousin Eliseva
Lk.1:39
The next day Mary packed a few things and hurried to the village in the
mountains where Z’kharYah and Eliseva lived. As she entered their house, she
called out “Shalom.”
The baby who was six months developed, who would become the Baptizer,
leapt in Eliseva’s womb and immediately Father filled Eliseva with a his holy
breath, and she began to prophesy,
“Mary you are the most blessed of all maidens. What an honor it is that the
mother of my Messiah should come to me. The minute I heard your voice, the
baby within my womb leapt for joy.
It is written in the Scroll of Isaiah:
Listen to me, O coastlands,
pay attention, you peoples from far away!
Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth called me before I was born,
while I was in my mother’s womb he named me.
He made my mouth like a sharp sword,
in the shadow of his hand he hid me;
he made me a polished arrow,
in his quiver he hid me away. Isaiah 49:1 (NRVS)
I am so happy that you believed the angel who came to you, for now the
restoration of the house of Yah-kov has begun.”
Mary too began to prophesy and she said,
“My life cries out in praise to Yah for he is my savior. I cannot believe he
chose me, a lowly maiden from Netzeret, to be his servant. All generations and
nations will say how happy I was. The Holy One, Yah, has done great things for
me, moreover, not just for me, but for all generations and nations who reverence
him. With his strong arm, he will scatter the proud and sweep them from their
self-made thrones. He will lift up the poor and the humble and fill them with good
things to eat, but the wicked rich, he will send away empty-handed.
Sirach 10:14 The thrones of the arrogant God overturns and establishes the
lowly in their stead.
Enoch 46:1 There I beheld the Ancient of days (The Angel of Yah) , whose
head was like white wool, and with him another, whose countenance resembled
that of man. His countenance was full of grace, like that of one of the holy
angels. Then I inquired of one of the angels, who went with me, and who showed
23
me every secret thing, concerning this Mortal; who he was; whence he was and
why he accompanied the Ancient of days.
2 He answered and said to me, This is this mortal, to whom righteousness
belongs; with whom righteousness has dwelt; and who will reveal all the
treasures of that which is concealed: for Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth of spirits
has chosen him; and his portion has surpassed all before Yah the Eloah of the
Tsebaoth of spirits in everlasting uprightness.
3 This Mortal, whom you behold, shall raise up kings and the mighty from
their dwelling places, and the powerful from their thrones; shall loosen the
bridles of the powerful, and break in pieces the teeth of sinners.
4 He shall hurl kings from their thrones and their dominions; because they
will not exalt and praise him, nor humble themselves before him, by whom their
kingdoms were granted to them. The countenance likewise of the mighty shall He
cast down, filling them with confusion. Darkness shall be their habitation, and
worms shall be their bed; nor from that their bed shall they hope to be again
raised, because they exalted not the name of Yah the ruler of spirits.
He is now pouring out mercy to those who love him, as he said he would, just
exactly as he had promised Abraham and his seed forever.”
Is.44:21 Remember these things, O Yah-kov, and you, O Israel, because you
are my servant. I have formed you. You are a servant belonging to me. O Israel,
you will not be forgotten on my part.
Ps.98:3 He has remembered his loving-kindness and his faithfulness to the
house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our Eloah.
Is.41:8 But you, O Israel, are my servant, you, O Yah-kov whom I have
chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
Mary stayed three months with Eliseva, and then returned home to Netzeret.

How John Got His Name
Lk. 1:60
When Eliseva gave birth to John, they took him on the eighth day to the
priests for the circumcision ceremony. The priests were in the process of naming
him Z’kharYah after his father, when Eliseva interrupted them. She said,
“No his name is to be John (Yah-chAnanus ).”
The priests were upset with her for breaking tradition, and said,
“None of your relatives are named John.”
24
Z’kharYah was still mute, but using sign language, he asked for writing
implements and wrote HIS NAME IS JOHN. At that moment, Father lifted his
muteness, and Yah’s breath filled him and he began to prophesy and praise
Father. He said,
“Blessed be Yah, the Eloah of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his
people. He is raising up a savior in the house of his servant David, just as he said
he would when he spoke through the prophets. He is sending the deliverer to
save us from our enemies who hate us. Yah has not forgotten his covenant. This
is the mercy, and the oath, he swore to Abraham coming to pass.
(Editors note: When we speak of Yahshuah as a savior we must
reconcile it with Isaiah 43:11
I, even I, am Yah; and beside Me there is no savior.
In the Old Testament Yah’s angel was sent to be the savior, the ambassador.
So he became their savior...the angel of Yah saved them; in his acts of love
and in his pity he redeemed them; he carried them and lifted them up all the days
of old. From Dead Sea Scrolls Isaiah 63:8
Yahshuah is also Yah’s ambassador, his appoint viceroy, his appointed savior.
Just as in Judges 3:9 it is written: And when the children of Israel cried unto
Yah, the Eloah, he raised up a savior to the children of Israel, who saved them,
even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.
But when the children of Israel cried unto Yah, Yah raised them up a savior,
Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite. Jdg 3:15
And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the Eloah of (angel) hosts in
the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto Yah because of the oppressors, and He
will send them a savior, and a defender, who will deliver them. Isa 19:20
We must keep in mind that Yah is the only true savior, but he raises up
men to do his saving work. Yah is likewise the only true Redeemer.
Thus say Yah, the king of Israel, and its Redeemer, the Eloah Tsebaoth of
(angel) hosts is his name. I am the Alef and the Tav (the first and the last) and
apart from me there is no Eloah. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Isaiah 44:6
there is no other Eloah besides Me, a righteous Eloah and a Savior. There is
none except Me. Turn to Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth; For I am the
one Eloah, and there is no other. I have sworn by myself. The word has gone
25
forth from my mouth in righteousness And will not turn back. That to Me every
knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance. (NASB) Is 45:21
so shall my word (the Ma’mar- wisdom-angel-ruach-logos) be that goes out
from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that
which I purpose, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it. Is 55: 11
Once set free from our enemies, we will worship him in peace all the days of
our life. You John will be the prophet of Yah, and you will go before him to
prepare the people. You will give knowledge of salvation to them and call them to
repentance as part of the forgiveness of their sins. Yah’s light like the dawn is
breaking on us who sit in the shadow of death. His light will guide our feet into
the paths of peace.”
Look! I am sending my messenger, and he must clear up a way before me.
Mal.3:1 Even though I walk in the valley of the deep shadow of death, I fear
nothing bad, for you are with me; your rod and your staff are the things that
comfort me. Ps.23:4
There are those dwelling in darkness and deep shadow, prisoners in affliction
and irons. Ps.107:10 ;
The people that were walking in the darkness have seen a great light. As for
those dwelling in the land of deep shadow, light itself has shone upon them. Is.
9:2
Some sat in darkness and deep gloom slaves in misery and chains for they
had rebelled against the words of Yah and despised the counsel of the most high.
Their hearts were subjected to bitter labor; they stumbled with no one to help.
They cried out to Yah in their trouble and he saved them from their distress; and
he brought them out of darkness and deep gloom and broke their chains…20 he
sent out his word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction.
From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 107:10
And he (the Messiah) shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong
nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their
spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation,
neither shall they learn war any more. Mic 4:3
A sense of awe fell on everyone, as word spread through the hill country and
all of the land of Yahudah. The people wondered what kind of a marvelous child
John would be. Indeed, he was marvelous because Father was with him. He was
a child who loved Father greatly and he grew strong and was straightened in his
spirit. He grew to manhood in the eastern deserts until the day came for Father to
show him to Israel.

Yosef, the Charash, Dreams of the Angel of Yah
Mt. 1:20
When Mary returned to Netzeret, and Yosef, the Charash, learned of her
pregnancy, being a Tzaddik (a sage), he chose to divorce her quietly so as not to
cause a scandal that might result in her execution.
If on the wedding night a man discovers his new bride was not a virgin
“If no evidence that the girl was a virgin can be found, they must take the
girl to the entrance of her father's house. The men of her city must stone her
to death because she has committed such a godless act in Israel.” (Deut.22:2021)
While Yosef, the Charash, was making his plans, the angel of Yah (Gabriel)
appeared to him in a dream and said,
“Do not to be afraid to wed Mary.. The baby will be a boy, and you are to
name him Yahshuah (Salvation) for through him Yah will save the people from
their sins.
This fulfills the prophecy that a young woman (approaching puberty about age
13) will give birth to a child who will be indwelt by the presence of Yah and she
will call him . Emmanuel (meaning Yah has returned to watching over his people)
“ Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: behold, the young woman
shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” (Isaih 7:14)
Editor’s note: So Yahshuah’s full name is “The Salvation of El is Here”.
Yahshuah (Salvation) Immanuel (is here El)
Immanu (is here)
El (the most high Eloah), the Supreme Being .
This has often been interpreted by traditionalists to say that Yahshuah is The
Supreme Being born among us. But what it says is the Supreme Being is offering us
salvation through this baby.
And we (demons) shall lead astray the inhabited world for a long season,
until the Son of God is stretched upon the cross. For never before doth arise a
king like unto him, one frustrating us all, whose mother shall not have contact
with man. Who else can receive such authority over spirits, except he, whom the
first devil will seek to tempt, but will not prevail over? The number of his name
is 644, which is Emmanuel… the Greek letters of Emmanuel's name also add
up to 644. (From the Testament of Solomon 66).
Originally Yah asked Moses to build a tent where He and Moses could
meet. When the tent was ready, Yah's Angel of his presence (his Shokeyn)
27
descended and remained on the tent. When they entered the Promised
Land 40 years later, the tent was erected on Mount Gerizim and for 400
years the Shokeyn was there. In the days of the wicked High Priest Eli
(1106 BC), when his evil sons took the ark out of the Tabernacle and
carried it to battle, the Shokeyn (Angel of his Presence) departed.
On Sept. 11, 988 BC, when Solomon erected the first Temple the Shokeyn
returned and descended upon the temple, but, the people began putting
idols in the temple. In 593 BC, Ezekiel saw the Shokeyn depart by the
eastern gate.
Seven years later, In 586 BC, the First Temple was destroyed by the
Babylonians and most of the unfortunate survivors were taken as slaves to
Babylon (Babylon means “change”, as in to change sides and desert over
to the enemy).
Seventy years later, after the captives were released from Babylon, they
returned to Yerushalayim and built another temple (515 BC). This temple
was later improved upon by King Herod, and is called the Second Temple,
or Herod's Temple. The Shokeyn never came to this Second Temple.
At the Jordan River Yahshuah fulfilled the destiny of his name as the
Shokeyn came down and filled Yahshuah. Yah via the angel of his
Presence was once again with Israel. Yahshuah brought the Shokeyn
Presence with him when he came to the second temple. Yahshuah’s body
was the Third Temple.
Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me:
and the Elohim –Angel of Yah, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple,
even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in. Mal 3:1
When Yahshuah came to the Second Temple. there was no presence of
Yah in it. It was a hideout for robbers. Yahshuah announced its destruction,
he ended the sacrifices, tithes and offering and declared his own body the
living temple which if they destroyed it would spring back to life.
Therefore, Yosef, the Charash, married Mary, but did not have sex with her until
after Yahshuah was born.
And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called
his name (Salvation) as Gabriel had instructed him. Mt.1: 25
(Editor’s note: The Hebrew word for Salvation is “Yahshuah” . ‫ישועה‬It
comes from the root word YAHSHA (yaw-shah)' to be open, wide or free,
that is, (by implication) to be safe; causatively to free or succor: avenging,
28
defend, deliver (-er), help, preserve, rescue, be safe, bring (having)
salvation, save (-iour), get victory (From Strong’s Concordance #3467).
English is such a weak language that it needs four other words to define
Salvation:
a. Deliverance (also Yahshuah),
b. Redemption (Gehullah), and
c. Ransom (Peduth)
d. Life (Olam, in Greek “Zoe”) Everlasting or Eternal Life.
Yahshuah works our salvation, our deliverance, our rescue, by submitting
himself as a ransom to redeem all who come to him. We are instantly
redeemed from the curse of Death, and the power of sin, when we unite
with Yahshuah Immanuel. We have been set free, our freedom was
purchased in a prisoner exchange. Yahshuah presented himself to Satan
as a sinless man. On sinless man Adam by sinning gave death the right to
slay and hold every sinner in the land of death and so one sinless man
Yahshuah agreed to hand himself over alive to Azazel, if Azazel would
relinquish his right to hold Yahshuah’s followers forever in the land of
death. Azazel snapped at the chance, certain that he would lose nothing for
he ahd never met a human he could not tempt into sin. He pushed
Yahshuah to the limit, had him tortured and hung on an execution stake,
but in the end he failed, for Yahshuah never broke. He won the battle with
sin, and in doing so a curse fell on Azazel for he had killed an innocent
man. He lost the right and power to hold believers in the land of death. I
want to stress that Yahshuah did not sacrifice himself, he was murdered.
He rescued us as a living ransom, not a dead one. He rescued us not by
dying, but by defeating sin to the point of death.
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death.
(Hos 13:14 )
“He sent the ransom to his people. (Psalm 111:5).
the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his
life a ransom for many. (Mat 20:28)
On the Judgment day the ransomed will come out of the grave, those Jews
who died before Yahshuah will be judged by the Torah of Moses, and those
who died without hera the Torah will be judged by their deeds,. Those who
died after Yahshuah who died without hearing the Gospel will be judged by
their deeds. Those who died as Christians will be judge by the words of the
Gospel.
“ the narrow gate and the road that lead to life are full of trouble. Only a few
people find the narrow gate.” (Mt.7:14)
"Strive to enter through the narrow gate. I can guarantee that many will try to
enter, but they won't succeed.” (Lk.13:24)
“He who endures to the end shall be saved.” (Mt.24:13)
29
As Christians, we are ransomed from Death and the power of sin, but we
must walk the narrow path of obedience:
Mat 19:16 And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good
thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? … if thou wilt enter into life,
keep the commandments.”
The 10 Commandments? No
Yahshuah’s Commandments, the fully revealed Torah, the Gospel.
“If you love me keep my commandments.” (John 14:15)
(to read the 215 Commandments of Yahshuah go to
http://robertroberg.com/writings/commandments6.pdf)
And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? Luk 6:46
But anyone who hears my words and does not obey them is like a man who built
his house without laying a foundation; when the flood hit that house it fell at
once---and what a terrible crash that was!" Luk 6:49
When you are fathered from above, you are in the Kingdom (the
kingdom is here now, but the full kingdom is coming). You are a child of
the father, but not yet in the father’s house. You do not yet have
immortality (everlasting life). You must have immortality to live in his
house. Immortality awaits those who have won the battle with sin.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever commits sin is
the slave of sin. And the slave abides not in the house forever.”( Joh 8:34)
Sin-slaves cannot live in Father’s house.
Granted there are scriptures that say we have eternal life now, but for 2,000
years every Christian has died and gone to their graves, so we do not yet
have immortality. Yahshuah said we will receive eternal life on the
Judgment Day:
"For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who beholds the Son and
believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last
day." John 6:40. We will have
in the age to come, eternal life. Mark 10:30
and will inherit eternal life. Mt.19:29
Romans 2:7 says we do not have it yet, but we are seeking it
“ To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour
and immortality, eternal life.”
Titus 1:2 says we have the hope of eternal life.
30
Jude says we are waiting anxiously for it:
“ But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in
the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the
mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.” Jude 1:20-21
So, we must walk the narrow path and battle sin. But we do not walk the
path alone, our guardian angel and the Pure Angel (if we ask for it) go with
us, and Yahshuah shepherds us and camps many angels round about us.
No one can snatch us out of his hand, but we can go astray. We have a
choice:
If we don’t abide in the vine, we will be cut off.
If we don’t bear fruit, like the fig tree, we will be cut down.
If we allow the cares of this world and deceitfulness of riches to choke us,
we will wither and die.
If we remain slaves to sin, we cannot live in the Father’s house.
If we build our house on the sand of disobedience, it will fall.
If we become like the elder brother of the prodigal, we will find ourselves
outside the father’s house.
Eternal Life (immortality) comes on the Judgment Day.
At the end of our lives, we will die and sleep in the dust until the last
trumpet of Judgment sounds, and then if we have persevered, we will
awake to salvation, where we receive immortality and be welcomed into
Father’s house, where we shall see him face to face, and feel his lavish
love.
It will happen in an instant, in a split second at the sound of the last trumpet.
Indeed, that trumpet will sound, and then the dead will come back to life.” (1
Cor 15:51)
“the dead in the Messiah shall rise first.” (1Th 4:16)
“ So when this takes place, and the mortal has been changed into the immortal,
then the scripture will come true: "Death is destroyed; victory is complete!" (1
Cor.15:53-54)
It’s clear to me from the verses above that we are born as mortals awaiting
immortality. We receive that immortality (Eternal Life) on the final day.

Angels Send Shepherds to See the New Born Messiah
Lk. 2: 1
At the time that John was born, Publius Suplicius Quirinius was a ruler in
Syria, The Roman Emperor Augustus Caesar ordered a registration to be taken
in that small part of the empire to collect taxes.
31
Augustus (the Shining One), we get our month August from him, he was
the first Roman Emperor. He was born in 63 BC as Gaius Octavius
Thurinus . He was the adopted son of his great-uncle Julius Caesar and
after he came to power in 27 BC was known as Gaius Julius Caesar
Octavianus. The Roman senate conferred the title “God” on Augustus, and
Romans thereafter worshipped all the Caesars as “Gods”. He died in 14
AD.
Voltaire wrote that Augustus was one of the most infamous debauchees
in the Roman commonwealth. He implies that he was his great uncle’s
lover. He committed incest with his sister. “he proscribed more than three
hundred senators, two thousand knights, and one hundred obscure but
wealthy heads of families, whose only crime was their being rich. Antony
and Octavius had them killed, solely that they might get possession of their
money… the world was ravaged, from the Euphrates to the extremities of
Spain, by this man without shame, without faith, honor, or probity, knavish,
ungrateful, avaricious, bloodthirsty, cool in the commission of crime, who,
in any well-regulated republic, would have been condemned to the greatest
of punishments for the first of his offences." (Retrieved from the Internet
Nov.19, 2007 http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/v/voltaire/dictionary/chapter65.html)
By the decree of Augustus every male Jew had to report to the place of his
birth to register. Yosef, the Charash, and Mary traveled to Bethlehem (the House
of Bread) where their ancestor King David was born. Mary was in the last days of
her pregnancy, and it was there that she gave birth to Yahshuah. She wrapped
him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a (new, unused), animal, feeding trough
because she had no cradle, for they were in a stable, because there were no
guest rooms available in any of the homes.
Yahshuah was 100% human with no trace of divinity. He had 24 Male
chromosomes and 23 female. He never existed anywhere prior to his mortal
birth.
It is written in the Scroll of Wisdom:
I too am a mortal man, the same as all the rest, and a descendant of the first
man formed on earth. And in my mother's womb I was molded into flesh ….
And I too, when born, inhaled the common air, and fell upon the kindred earth;
wailing, I uttered that first sound common to all. In swaddling clothes and with
constant care I was nurtured. For no king has any different origin or birth, but
one is the entry into life for all; and in one same way they leave it. Therefore I
prayed, and prudence was given me; I pleaded and the spirit of Wisdom came to
me. Wisdom 7:1
On a hill outside of Bethlehem, some shepherds were watching their sheep.
Suddenly the Angel of Yah, Gabriel, appeared in their midst, and he engulfed
them as Father’s Shokeyn Glory. They were terrified. The angel said,
32
“Do not be afraid. I have come to give you some great news, news for you
and for the whole world. The long awaited savior, the Messiah has been born in
Bethlehem. Go and visit him. This is how you will know him: he will not be in a
bed, but in an animal’s feeding trough.”
Immediately a group of angels surrounded the shepherds. They were all
praising Father saying,
“Glory to Father in the highest. Peace on earth. Show kindness to all men.”
Then as suddenly as the angels appeared, they were gone. The shepherds
looked at each other in amazement until one said,
“What are we waiting for, let’s go into Bethlehem and find this child.”
They ran to the village, and in no time, found Yosef, the Charash, and Mary,
and the baby Yahshuah who was indeed lying in a new, unused animal’s feeding
trough. The shepherds spread the news far and wide, and all who heard the
story, were thrilled and marveled at the wonderful birth.
The visit of the shepherds surprised Mary. She often recalled their story of the
angels. The shepherds also never forgot, and when they returned to their sheep,
they no longer grumbled, but were God-fearing. They often thanked Father for
leading them to the child.
7 Two Prophets in the Temple Verify that the Baby is the Messiah Lk. 2:25
Eight days later, they took Yahshuah to the Rabbis for the circumcision ritual.
They named him “The Eloah’s Salvation is here” (Yahshuah Immanu El), just as
the angel Gabriel had said.
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: If a woman be delivered, and bear a
man-child, then she shall be unclean seven days; as in the days of the
impurity of her sickness shall she be unclean. And in the eighth day the flesh
of his foreskin shall be circumcised. (Lev 12:2)
Thirty-three days later, they brought him to the Temple to dedicate him to
Father. They brought two doves for a sacrifice (the required offering for the poor).
And she shall continue in the blood of purification three and thirty days; she
shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of
her purification be fulfilled. (Lev.12:3-4)
There was a Tzaddik (Sage) in the Temple whose name was Shimon. Father
had told Shimon that before he died, he would see the Messiah, and so he
waited every day in the Temple. The angel of Yah came upon him.
33
When they brought in baby Yahshuah Immanuel, Shimon went to him
immediately and took him lovingly in his arms. His heart overflowed with love for
Father and he said,
“Thank you Father, now I can die in peace for my eyes have seen your
salvation. He will shine the Shokeyn Glory on Israel, and be a light of revelation
to the whole world. He will also remove the blindfold from the eyes of many NonJews in many nations.”
It is written in the Scroll of Isaiah:
And he proceeded to say: It has been more than a trivial matter for you to
become my servant to raise up the tribes of Yah-kov and to bring back even the
safeguarded ones of Israel; I also have given you for a light of the nations, that
my salvation may come to the extremity of the earth. Is.49:6
Yosef and Mary were speechless. Shimon turned to Mary and prophesied,
“This child will mark the destruction and restoration of many in Israel. He will
be misunderstood and contradicted. And you Mary will feel like a long sword is
piercing your heart, for most of the people will reject him, for Father through him
will expose the secrets of their hearts.”
There was also a righteous prophetess who lived in the Temple named
Hannah Bat Penuel of the tribe of Asher. After seven years of marriage, her
husband died and she had been living in the Temple for 84 years, and was well
known for her prayer life, fastings, and purity. She heard the prophesying of
Shimon, and when she saw Yahshuah, she erupted in loud praise telling
everyone in the Temple that this baby was the Messiah.
It is written ion the Scroll of Isaiah:
This is what Yah has said: In a time of goodwill I have answered you, and
in a day of salvation I have helped you, and I kept safeguarding you that I may
give you as a covenant for the people, to rehabilitate the land, to bring about the
repossessing of the desolate hereditary possessions. Is 49:8
He (Yahshuah the Messiah) will likewise startle many nations. At him kings
will shut their mouths, because what had been recounted to them they will
actually see, and to what they had not heard they must turn their consideration
to. Is.52:15
When Yosef and Mary had carried out all the things required in the Torah
concerning the purification and newborns, they returned to the Galil province to
Netzeret.
And Yahshuah went on progressing in wisdom and in physical growth and in
favor with Yah and men. Lk.2:52
34
As it is written in the Scroll of Isaiah:
A shoot shall come out from the stock of Jesse,
and a branch shall grow out of his roots.
The spirit (Angel) of Yah shall rest on him,
the angel of wisdom and understanding,
the angel of counsel and might,
the angel of knowledge, piety, and the fear of Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth.
His delight shall be in the fear of Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth.
He shall not judge by what his eyes see,
or decide by what his ears hear;
but with righteousness he shall judge the poor,
and decide with equity for the meek of the earth;
he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth,
and with the breath of his lips he shall annihilate the wicked.
Righteousness shall be the belt around his waist,
and faithfulness the belt around his loins. Is.11:1-5
8 Two Year Later, Jewish Priests from the Wisdom School of the East
Come Seeking the Baby Mt. 2:1
About two years later, we find Yosef, the Charash, Mary and Yahshuah
Immanuel again living in Bethlehem.
Certain Jewish priests from the order of the Magi in Persia came to the palace
of King Herod, the Great (nicknamed by historians “the great pervert”). They
asked,
“Where is the child who was born to be the King of the Jews? We have seen
his star in the East and have determined that he was born here, and we have
come to worship him.”
When Herod heard these things, he was troubled, along with all his
henchmen in Yerushalayim. So he called together all the illegal chief priests
(Gamaliel and Shammai) and rogues among the scribes (lawyers) and
demanded that they tell him where the Messiah would be born.
The Illegal Chief Priests
The priesthood was suppose to stay in the family of Aaron (the Levites)
and in the line of Zaddok (the Zaddokites). In 140 BC when the Hasmonean
family led a revolt against the Syrian Greeks, the Maccabean family illegal
took over the priesthood. When Herod’s father ended the Hasmonean rule
he replaced the illegal priesthood with illegal Edomites (Sadducees). The
High Priest’s position was sold to the highest bidder.
35
The Scribes
The Scribes (Soferim) trace their roots to Ezra. When the 6,000 Jews
and 200 slaves returned from their 70 year captivity in Babylon, they had
forgotten how to speak and write Hebrew and spoke a corrupted form of
Hebrew mixed with Babylonian called Aramaic. Under Ezra, the Scribes led
a revival back to the original Hebrew language. They developed the square
lettered Hebrew alphabet. They copied the scriptures and interpreted and
taught them to the masses in Hebrew, not Aramaic.
In Acts 21:40 when Paul wants to address a crowd trying to stone him in
Jerusalem it says he spoke to them in Hebrew
“And when he had given him licence (to speak), Paul stood on the stairs, and
beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great
silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue.”
The Scribes were the experts of the Law (lawyers) and their name
Soferim means “wisemen”. They were the founders of the Oral Law and
this is what disturbed Yahshuah. He rejected the entire Oral Law of these
“wisemen”. The Scribes also had a lucrative business writing divorce
contracts, something Yahshuah saw as dividing what Yah had joined
together. Yahshuah called the Scribes hypocrites and accused them of
taking the key of knowledge and locking the door to Yah’s kingdom. He
said they devoured widow’s houses and loved seats of honor, special
clothing to announce their wisdom and holiness, and loved to be greeted
in public by fancy titles. Their main sphere of influence was Jerusalem.
Some laymen Pharisees were scribes, but they were mainly priests from
the tribe of Levi.
They said to Herod, “In Bethlehem, for it is written:
“ Bethlehem, in the land of Yahudah, you are not the city of a lowly prince:
for out of you will come the (chief) ruler, who will shepherd my people.
Then Herod, when he had privately called the Magi priests, asked them when
the star had appeared. Then he sent them to Bethlehem, and said,
“Go and when you have found the child, send me word, so that I may come
and worship him also.”
9
The Wisdom Priests Visit the Baby and Give Him Gifts
Mt. 2:11
When the Magi left the King, they saw the star in the sky that they had seen in
the East. It was shining down on Bethlehem. When they saw the star, they
rejoiced with exceeding joy. When they entered Yosef, the Charash’s house, and
36
saw Mary and the baby Yahshuah, they bowed (prostrated) before him and gave
him gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh (lote – ladanum-opium)
“3910 lot lote probably from 3874; a gum (from its sticky nature), probably ladanum:-myrrh.” (from Stong’s concordance http://www.eliyah.com/cgi-
bin/strongs.cgi?file=Hebrewlexicon&isindex=3874)
The Angel of Yah appeared in a dream to the Magi and warned them about
Herod, so they departed secretly to their own country, and did not report to Him.
The Magi remain a mystery. Many commentators have said they were
astrologers (forbidden in the torah), or magicians/sorcerers (also forbidden
in the Torah), Zoroastrians, Babylonian Jews or Persian Jews. I lean
towards the latter since from the days of Daniel there were Jewish sages in
Persia who were trained in the wisdom schools and would have been
studying the Messianic prophecies which all point to Yahshuah.
10
Flee
In Another Dream, The Angel of Yah Warns Yosef, the Charash, to
Mt. 2:13
When Herod saw that the Magi Priests were not coming back, he was furious,
he sent his henchmen to kill all the baby boys that were in Bethlehem and in all
the coastal towns who were two years old, and younger.
This fulfilled the words of Jeremiah the prophet, saying, “In Rama was there a
voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for
her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.”
That same night, the Angel of Yah, Gabriel, appeared to Yosef, the Charash,
in a dream saying, “Arise, and take the young child and his mother, flee into
Egypt, and stay there until I tell you, for King Herod the Great (pervert) will try to
kill the child.”
They were not in Egypt very long, when they heard that Herod the Great
(pervert) died. They were there just long enough to fulfill the prophecy: “I have
called my son out of Egypt.”
11
In a Third Dream, The Angel of Yah Tells Yosef, the Charash, to Return to
Israel Mt. 2:20
When Herod died, The Angel of Yah, Gabriel, appeared in a third dream to
Yosef, the Charash, and told him it was safe to return to Israel saying, “Arise and
return to Israel for Herod, the one who wanted to kill the child is dead.”
37
(Editor’s notes: Herod (hero) was born in 73 BC and died in 4BC. That
means Yahshuah Immanuel must have been born in 6-5 BC. Luke says
Yahshuah was “about thirty” when he was spirit baptized at the Yardan
River.
Luk 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age”
That would place his baptism at 24-26 AD. Luke says John the Baptizer
began his ministry in the 15th year of Tiberius (Luk 3:1-2). Tiberius became
a co-emperor in 11 or 12 AD which means John began baptizing in 26 AD.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronology_of_Jesus) Yahshuah’s ministry
appears to have lasted three years so he would have been murdered
around 27-29 AD. After 2,000 years and many calendar changes with over
80 days added to the Western Calendar and even a possible space of 165
years missing in the Jewish Calendar, we can’t really pinpoint it.
Herod’s family was not Jewish, but Edomite. In 140 BC John Hyrcanus,
of the Hasmonean family, illegally claimed the rule in Israel and forced all
Edomites to convert to Judaism. So although Herod claimed to be Jewish,
the traditional Jews called him an Edomite. His mother was a Nabatean
(FArab) which made his claims of Jewishness even more untenable . His
father Antipater, the first, ended the Hasmonean dynasty. He made Herod
the governor of Galilee. In an effort to be seen as more Jewish, Herod cast
out his wife Doris and young son, Antipater II, and married his niece
Mariamne, a Hasmonean princess, whom he later would kill and keep her
body in a large jar of honey. He also killed her mother, Alexandra, and
drowned the High Priest Aristobulus, Mariamme’s brother and also killed
her grandfather Hyrcanus. He had 10 wives and 15 children and killed most
of them.
Herod murdered any Jews who were opposed to bringing Greek culture
into Israel. He built Greek theaters, gymnasiums, amphitheaters and
hippodromes and even temples to Greek and Roman gods. In 40 BC, he
traveled to Rome and the senate gave him the title “King of the Jews,
One of the marks of the Messiah is that he was to be the king who would
rebuild the temple. In his descent into insanity Herod devoted his life to
rebuilding the temple. He kept up his murderous ways to the very end. Five
days before he died, he killed Antipater II. It was said “It is better to be one
of Herod’s pigs than one of his sons.”
During his reign of terror, Herod replaced most of the rulers in Israel
with Edomites and placed Edomites in the positions of chief priests
(Gamaliel and Shammai) . The party of the Herodians and the Sadducees
were almost one and the same (see Mark 7:15 and Matt.16:6). The charge
that the Jews killed Yahshuah needs to be re-examined in light of this.
Edom is the name that was given to Esau when he sold his birthright for
a bowl of lentils. Esau has come down to us as “the evil twin”, but honestly
38
Yahkov tricked him out of his birthright and the blessing of the first born.
Years later when the scoundrel (Yakov) returns home fearful that Esau
might retaliate, Esau forgives him. Esau appears to be the good twin here
and Yakov the evil twin. So why does Yah hate Esau and love Yahkov?
Esau was not a man devoted to wisdom, but spent his days hunting. Only
those who love wisdom find favor with Yah.
“All who cling to Wisdom will live, but those will die who forsake it.” (Baruch
4:1)
“The mouth of the just brings forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut
out.” (Prov.10:31)
Esau made a show of loving wisdom when he built his home in Teman, the
desert of Paran on Mount Seir (Sinai), but he did not obey the wisdom of
Yah (the Torah), he married Canaanite and Hittite wives who bore an evil
brood of children whose descendants eventually took over Israel under
Herod the Great (pervert) and killed the Messiah.
Habbakuk prays that Yah will come again from Sinai as in the days of old,
from Edom, the land of the hunters, and destroy the wicked.
“Come again from Teman (Edom); O holy one. Come from the hills of Paran
(where Mount Sinai is). His splendor covers the heavens, and the earth is full of his
praise. He comes with the brightness of lightning; light flashes from his hand,
there where his power is hidden. He sends disease before him and commands
death to follow him. When he stops, the earth shakes; at his glance the nations
tremble. The eternal mountains are shattered; the everlasting hills sink down,
the hills where he walked in ancient times. … You rode upon the clouds; the
storm cloud was your chariot, as you brought victory to your people. You got
ready to use your bow, ready to shoot your arrows. Your lightning split open the
earth. When the mountains saw you, they trembled; water poured down from
the skies. The waters under the earth roared, and their waves rose high. At the
flash of your speeding arrows and the gleam of your shining spear, the sun and
the moon stood still. You marched across the earth in anger; in fury you
trampled the nations. (Hab 3:3-12)
Yah answers that he will come and he will begin with Edom.
“Upon Edom do I cast my shoe.” (Psalm 60:6)
“My sword has drunk its fill in heaven and upon Edom will it come down.”
(Is.34:5)
“Yah hath a holocaust in Bozrah (Capital of Edom), and a great slaughter in
the land of Edom.” (Is.34:6)
“Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan (Edomites); For I do
bring the calamity of Esau (Edom) upon him, the time that I shall punish him. “
(Jerm.49:8)
39
“And Edom shall become an astonishment; every one that passeth by it shall be
astonished and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.” (Jer.49:17)
“Behold, he shall come up and swoop down as the vulture, and spread out his
wings against Bozrah; and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day
shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.” (Jerm. 49:22)
“He will punish thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom (that would be Jerusalem in
33 AD), He will uncover thy sins.” (Lam.4:22)
“therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: I will stretch out My hand upon Edom,
and will cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Teman,
even unto Dedan shall they fall by the sword. “ (Ezek.25:13)
“Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of
Judah, because they have shed innocent blood (the Messiah) in their land. “ (Joel
3:19 (4:19)
Edom “did pursue his brother (Yahshuah) with the sword, and did cast off all
pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever.” (Amos
1:11)
“And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one
may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter.” (Obadiah 1:9)
“They (the Edomites) shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall be
called The border of wickedness, and The people whom Yah execrateth for ever.”
(Mal.1:4)
Yah says to his people, "I have always loved you." But they reply, "How
have you shown your love for us?" Yah answers, "Esau and Jacob were
brothers, but I have loved Jacob and his descendants, and have hated Esau
and his descendants. I have devastated Esau's hill country and abandoned
the land to jackals." (Mal.1:2-3)
“I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.”
(Amos 1:2)
Another name for Esau/Edom was Mount Seir.
“Moreover the word of Yah came unto me, saying:
'Son of man, set thy face against Mount Seir (Edom), and prophesy against it,
and say unto it: Thus saith Yah the Eloah: Behold, I am against you, O
Mount Seir, and I will stretch out My hand against you, and I will make you
most desolate. I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate…
Because thou hast had a hatred of old, and hast hurled the children of Israel
unto the power of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time of the
iniquity of the end; therefore, as I live, saith Yah Eloah, I will prepare you
unto blood, and blood shall pursue you; surely thou hast hated thine own
blood, therefore blood shall pursue you.
Thus will I make Mount Seir (Edom) most desolate, and cut off from it him
that passes through and him that returns. And I will fill his mountains with
40
his slain; in thy hills and in thy valleys and in all thy streams shall they fall
that are slain with the sword. I will make you perpetual desolations, and thy
cities shall not return…As thou didst rejoice over the inheritance of the house
of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto you; thou shalt be
desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom.” (Ezek.35:1-15)
Herod the Edomite, appointed the illegal priests who called themselves
Sadducees (from Zaddok, although they had no real connection to Zaddok
either by blood or belief). Herod put Edomites, in every sphere of power
and they bear the guilt for Yahshuah’s death more than the Jews. Not that
some rogues among the Jews were not complicit; especially those rogues
among the Pharisees, but the reins of power were not in the hands of the
Pharisees or Essenes, but held by the Edomite Sadducees. Yah’s fire fell
on the Edomites in 70 AD when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem. The
Sadducees disappeared from the pages of history (end of Editor’s notes).
Therefore, Yosef, the Charash, brought them back to Israel, but decided it
was not safe to return to Bethlehem for Herod’s son Archelus was ruling there.
For the fourth time the Angel of Yah, Gabriel, came to him in a dream and told
him to go back to Netzeret in the Galil. Therefore, they returned to Netzeret to
fulfill the prophecy, he will be called a Netzer (a branch).
As it is written in the Psalms:
And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that
thou madest strong for thyself. Psalm 80:15
In that day shall the branch of Yah be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the
earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. Isaiah
4:2
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall
grow out of his roots: Isaiah 11:1
Behold, the days come, saith Yah, that I will raise unto David a righteous
Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and
justice in the earth. Jeremiah 23:5
In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to
grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the
land.” (Jeremiah 33:15)
As it is written in the Scroll of Zechariah:
“And he showed me Yahshuah the high priest standing before the Angel of Yah,
and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. And the angel said unto
Satan: Yah rebuke you, O Satan, yea, Yah, the Eloah that has chosen
Yerushalayim rebuke you; is not this man a brand plucked out of the fire?” (Zec
3:1 )
“ Now Yahshuah, the high priest, was clothed with filthy garments, and
stood before the angel. And he answered and spoke unto those that stood before
41
him, saying: 'Take the filthy garments from off him.' And unto him he said:
'Behold, I cause thine iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with
robes.' And I said: 'Let them set a fair mitre upon his head.' So they set a fair
mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments; and the angel of Yah stood
by.
And the Angel of Yah forewarned Yahshuah, the high priest, saying: 'Thus
saith Yah, the Eloah of (angel) hosts: If thou wilt walk in My ways, and if thou
wilt keep My charge, and wilt also judge My house, and wilt also keep My
courts, then I will give you free access among these that stand by. Hear now, O
Yahshuah the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before you; for they are
men that are a sign; for, behold, I will bring forth My servant the branch…And I
will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
And speak unto him, saying, Thus says Yah, the Eloah of (angel) hosts, saying,
Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his
place, and he shall build the temple of Yah. Zechariah 6:12
12
When Yahshuah Was Twelve
Lk. 2:39
When Yahshuah Immanuel was twelve years old, they went up to
Yerushalayim for his Bar Mitzvah and to celebrate the feast of the Passover. At
the end of the feast, when the crowds left to go home, Mary and Yosef thought
Yahshuah was in the group of relatives returning to Netzeret, but after a day,
they realized he was not. They returned to Yerushalayim and found him sitting in
the Temple asking question of the sages. The learned sages, and all that heard
him, were astonished at his understanding and answers.
As it is written in the Scroll of the Psalms:
I have More insight than all my teachers for your decrees are my meditation.
I hold back my feet from every evil path, so that I may keep your word. Through
your precepts I get understanding therefore I hate every false path. Your words
are a lamp to my feet, a light to my path. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm
(Ps.119:99)
When Mary found him, she asked, “Son, why didn’t you tell us you were
staying behind? Yosef, your father, and I have been very worried. We were
looking everywhere.”
He replied, “Why were you worried? Didn’t you know I would be here doing
my Father’s work?”
Yahshuah repudiates Mary’s statement that Yosef is his father, pointing
out that Yah is his father.
42
Mary did not understand what he meant at the time, but never forgot the
event.
This is a puzzling statement for Mary knew Yah was his father and that
Yosef was not. She knew Yahshuah was the Messiah. She could not have
forgotten how she got pregnant, and say what you will, no boy who stays
behind without telling his parents can be seen as sinless. This whole
incident feels fabricated.
Yahshuah returned with them to Netzeret and grew in wisdom and stature
and in favor with Yah and the community.
Wisdom’s children show their royal breeding Mt 11:19.
“The fear of Yah is the crown of wisdom” - From the Dead Sea Scrolls
version of the Scroll of Yahshuah ben Sirach 1:18
“Wisdom will exalt her children.” (Sir.6:11 Septuagint)
“Thou hast placed the spirit of holiness into my heart and hast taken away from
me the eyes of fornication…thou hast removed from me the stiff neck and
replaced it with humility. Thou hast taken away from me rage and anger and
placed in me a spirit of patience. A haughty heart and lofty eyes thou hast taken
away from me. Thou hast blotted out the spirit of lies.” From the Dead Sea
Scrolls version of Sirach 4Q436 -435

John, the Baptizer, Begins His Mission
Luke 3:1-2
th
In the 15 year of the third Caesar (Tiberius Claudius Nero), when Pontius
Pilate was the Roman ruler in Yahudah, Antipas (the son of Herod the King of the
Jews) took over in the Galil region, his half-brother Philip (Herod Philip the First,
the son of Cleopatra) took over Iturea and Trachonitis. Lysanias, the third brother
ruled over Abilene, The two illegal High Priests were Ananus (the supposedly
retired High priest) , and his son-in-law Kayafa. They had purchased their office.
(Bullinger dates this 26 AD).
Ananus (Annas, or Ananias) purchased his office from the Roman
Legate, Quirinus, governor of Syria, and ruled officially from 6 AD to 15 AD.
Yosef Kayafa bought his office from the Roman Prefect, Valerius Gratus.
“Valerius Gratus was the Roman Prefect, or procurator of Judah, AD 15
- 26. He succeeded Annius Rufus and was replaced by Pontius Pilate.
The government of Gratus is chiefly remarkable for the frequent
changes he made in the appointment of the high-priesthood. He deposed
Ananus, and substituted Ismael, son of Fabi, then Eleazar, son of Arianus,
then Simon, son of Camith, and lastly Joseph Caiaphas, the son-in-law of
Ananus.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valerius_Gratus) It would appear
Gratus was selling the post to the highest bidder and made a fortune.
Ananus was determined to keep his family in power and in addition to
Kayafa, had five sons who became the High Priest.
43
The Logos (word, message) of Yah (via the same angel that was on Elijah)
came to John, the Baptizer, where he was living in the desert. John began to
teach that repentance was necessary to enter the coming Kingdom of Yah.
Tsebuah is the Hebrew word for “repentance” and means a complete
change in spiritual orientation.
John used water as a symbol that sins, and guilt, were being washed away
by a complete turning away from the world to Yah Eloah Tsebaoth .
He that is covering over his transgressions will not succeed, but he who
confesses and leaves them will be shown mercy. Pv.28:13
John wore a leather cloak, over a camel hair tunic. He ate wild honey and
sweet carob pods from the Carob Locust tree (he was a vegetarian).
Since the days of the evil Hasmoneans, 165 BC, the office of High Priest
had been bought and sold to the highest bidder. John, the Baptizer, as a
descendant of Aaron, legally should have been the High Priest of Israel at
that time.
John, the Baptizer, went up and down both sides of the flowing Yardan River
telling people to let repentance wash away their sins. Those who repented, he
dipped in the river. In the words of Isaiah the prophet, John, the Baptizer, was the
messenger who would come first to prepare the people for the coming of the
Messiah. He was a voice crying in the wilderness
“Prepare yourself for the Messiah’s arrival. Make the road smooth and
straight for him. Fill up every hole and smooth down every bump. Decorate the
road for the victory procession. He is coming with salvation.”
For Yah has commanded that every lofty mountain be made low, And that
the age-old depths and gorges be filled to level ground, that Israel may advance
secure in the glory of Yah. (Baruch 5:7)
He has turned darkness into light before them and crooked places into level
ground. He has revealed to them abundance of peace and truth. - From the Dead
Sea Scrolls version of 4Q434 fragment 1
Many people came to the river to see John, the Baptizer. For some it was the
latest religious fad. John, seeing the shallowness of their hearts, yelled at them,
“You children of the serpent, (Azazel), who warned you to flee from the
coming Judgment Day? Why are you sons of the serpent slithering down into the
river? Do you think you can escape the fires of hell just by getting wet? Your life
must change, not just your snake skins. Do not think things will go well for you
44
just because Abraham was your blood ancestor? That means nothing. The Blood
ancestors of Abraham are plentiful and wicked. Father can create blood children
for Abraham out of these stones on the riverbank. It is how you live that is
important. Are you tender and blossoming like a living tree? On the other hand,
are you dry wood and dead branches? If you are dry wood and dead branches,
you are going into the fire. Here comes the woodsman with the axe in his hand,
he is cutting up dead trees right down to their roots. You are either bearing fruit,
or going into the fire. It is that simple.
The crowds asked John, the Baptizer, “What should we do?”
John, the Baptizer, replied, “If you have two coats, and you see a brother
shivering who needs one, give him your extra one. If you see someone who is
starving, share your food.” Luke 3:11
Some Jews, who collected taxes for the temple, asked him, “What about us?”
He said, “Only collect what the Law requires and stop gouging people.”
Some soldiers asked him, “What about us?”
They were either Temple soldiers or part of Antipas’ army.
John said, “Stop arresting innocent people, stop complaining about your pay,
and give up all violence.” (no killings, wounding, hitting, shaking, shouting,
intimidating, harassing, threatening, stealing, robbing, bribing, etc) (in other
words quit your job.) Luke 3:14
Many Jews felt that the Messiah would be coming any day; they began to
wonder if John, the Baptizer, might be the Messiah. Some priests were sent from
Yerushalayim to ask him if he was the prophet predicted by Moses, or a
reincarnation of Elijah, or if he was the Messiah.
John said, I am not a reincarnation of Elijah. (The angel that was on Elijah,
and later on Elisha, was on John, but he was not Elijah reincarnated).
John said, “the prophet, that man predicted by Moses, is the Messiah, and I
am not the Messiah. However, soon you will see him, for he is alive, and is in one
of our towns today. He is so mighty I am not worthy to untie his sandals. You see
me here baptizing people with water, but when he comes, he will bring two
baptisms- the Spirit Baptism for those who love Abba
I will pour out my spirit upon your seed, and my blessing upon your
descendants Is.44:3
And after that it must occur that I will pour out my spirit on every sort of
flesh; and YOUR sons and YOUR daughters will certainly prophesy, YOUR old
men will dream dreams, YOUR young men will see visions: Joel 2:28
For I will pour water (my words of wisdom) upon thirsty ground and streams
on parched land. Just so will I pour my spirit upon your descendants and my
blessing upon your posterity. They will spring up like that which grows in the
green grass, like willows. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Isaiah 44:6
45
and the Fire Baptism (a fire that cannot be put out) for those who love life.
Like a farmer who winnows his wheat, the Messiah will sift out the chaff and let
the wind blow it away.
It is written in the Scroll of Isaiah:
See I will make you into a new sharp multi-edged thresher. You will thresh
and crush mountains (often a symbol for powerful religious leaders) and turn the
hills to chaff. You will winnow them and the wind will carry them away. And
the whirlwind will scatter them. You will rejoice in Yah and you will glory in
the Holy One of Israel. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Isaiah 41:15
Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the Yah chase them.
Psa 35:5
The messiah will then put the good grains in his wheat sack.

Yahshuah Receives the Spirit Baptism
Jn. 1:29
And it came to pass in those days, that Yahshuah came from Netzeret to the
river to be baptized. When John, the Baptizer, saw him, he said to those nearby,
“Behold the Sin-bearing goat who will take away the sins of the world. This is the
Messiah, who is mightier than me, who I said was coming.”
The word lamb in Hebrew can mean a sheep, or a goat. In the
Atonement ritual, it was always a goat. John expected the Messiah to be
sacrificed and is clearly identifying him as the goat of the Atonement which
plays the key roll in sin removal.
Yahshuah, however, repudiated the atonement sacrifice saying, Yah
does not want sacrifice. He never identified himself as a goat. He said the
goats would go into the fire. He identified himself as a shepherd of sheep,
not a sheep. Furthermore, Moses said human sacrifice was an abomination
to Yah, so the idea that Yah sacrificed his human son is detestable, or that
somehow Yahshuah made himself a human sacrifice is despicable.
Moses wrote in the Scroll of Deuteronomy:
Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them [the Gentile
nations] . . . for every abomination to Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth which he
hates have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters
have they burnt in the fire to their gods. (Deut. 12:30-31)
Andres and another disciple of John, the Baptizer, approached Yahshuah and
asked, “Rabbi, where are you lodging?”
Yahshuah said, “Come and see.” It was 4:00 PM. In the afternoon.
46
A word about Zoroastrianism
Some writings appeared about 250 years after Yahshuah claiming that
they were the writings of a man named Zoroaster who lived (some say
6,000 years) before Yahshuah. The writer named Tonsar is supposed to be
the High Priest of an ancient cult. Much of what he writes mimics the
teachings of Yahshuah. Here’s an example:
Son of a Vedic priest, Zoroaster immerses himself in the river for
purification, and as he comes up from the water, the archangel Vohu
Mana appears to him, proffering a cup and commissions him to bear
the tidings of the one God Ahura Mazda, whereupon the evil one
Ahriman tempts him to abandon this call.
http://www.robertmprice.mindvendor.com/art_midrash1.htm
There is no way for the followers of Zoroaster to prove that they
didn’t copy from the Gospels for they have no ancient texts prior to
the 3rd Century AD.
The opponents of Yahshuah have been playing this game for 2,000
years claiming that Christianity copied from other religions, but all of
the texts that make these claims were written hundred and even
thousands of years after Yahshuah.
There are far fewer witnesses to classical texts than to the Bible,
so scholars can use stemmatics and, in some cases, copy text editing.
However, unlike the New Testament where the earliest witnesses are
within 200 years of the original, the earliest existing manuscripts of
most classical texts were written about a millennium after their
composition. Other things being equal, textual scholars expect that a
larger time gap between an original and a manuscript means more
changes in the text. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textual_criticism
So those who claim the Gospels copied from Homer are forced to
admit there are no copies of Homer’s writing within a thousand years
after Yahshuah. So who copied whom?
Until the discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls, the oldest copies of the
Old Testament were 800 years after Yahshuah. The Jews were elated
to find fragments of their scriptures in the Dead Sea caves, but also
distressed to discover that for the most part those fragments showed
that the texts of 2,000 BC differ from all their current texts. Of
particular note to me, they show that books like Jubilees, Enoch,
Baruch and the Wisdom of Ben Sirach were widely considered to be
part of the Bible. All of these books were removed from the Jewish
canon and with good reason; they clearly point to Yahshuah as the
Messiah and state that the kingdom would be taken from the Jews
and given to non-Jews.
47
John’s Disciples spent the night with Yahshuah and asked him many
questions. The next day when Yahshuah waded into the river to John, John
protested saying, “I shouldn’t baptize you, you should baptize me.”
Yahshuah replied, “Just do it, for it is right.”
Several things are becoming right here:
A. John is another Solomon at the dedication of the Temple.
Yahshuah’s body is the temple.
B. John is the High Priest ordaining Yahshuah to his ministry. (this is
right.)
C. John is an Elijah type passing the power to Yahshuah who is an
Elisha type. Elisha surpassed Elijah as Yahshuah will surpass John
(this is right.)
D. John is a type of Moses passing his ministry to Joshua.
E. Everyone approaching Yah must be washed "to bring them under
the wings of the Shekinah" (Yeb. l.c.) (this is right.)
F. It is a metaphor for being filled with the Words of the Gospel (this is
right.)
G. It is a parable for what happens when the Words of the Gospel find a
home in our hearts. First come the words and then comes the Spirit
to birth us (this is right.)
H. It marks the transition between Water baptism and the beginning of
Spirit Baptism. From this point on water Baptism declines and Spirit
Baptism increases (this is right.)
What is not happening here is Yahshuah is not repenting of sins for he
has so far in his life remained sinless.
Therefore, John, the Baptizer, immersed him in the muddy river. Father told John
that when the Messiah appeared, he would see an angel descending upon the
Messiah the way a dove descends. When Yahshuah came up out of the water,
the sky was ripped open and the Angel of Yah (the ruach, the holy one Ha
Qodesh) descended as gently as a dove and Father’s voice (Bat Kol) echoed.
Remember that when the scriptures say Father’s voice is heard it is an
echo through the voice of his chosen angel, for Yahshuah said no one has
ever heard Father’s voice. This was Yahshuah’s born-again, spirit-baptism,
spirit-birth, being fathered from above moment, the same one we must all
experience.
You are my Son; I this day have become your father. Ps.2:7
My chosen one, whom my soul has approved! I have put my spirit (angel) in
him! He will bring about justice to the nations. Is.42:1
48
“And the spirit of Yah shall rest upon him.” (Is. 11.2)
Umberto Ecco (1996) says, the dove was known for its swiftness, and
reliability, and conjugal faithfulness to its mate. It spends its day
kissing. It remains chaste in widowhood. It was used as a courier to
deliver messages. It is a fitting symbol of salvation for it was a Dove that
Noah released from the Ark that found dry land. The dove is the only
fowl that has no poisonous gall attached to its liver. It is associated with
heaven for it flies higher than any other bird. It is the most persecuted of
birds and always surrenders submissively to death. It is the symbol of
peace. Its claws do not scratch and it does not bite. It pulls out its own
feathers to make a soft nest for its young. It weeps, or moans, instead of
singing.
“Jews said that the dove is an oracle, and it is no
accident that the Hebrew word tore, dove, recalls Torah,
which is their Bible, sacred book, origin of all
revelation.” Umberto Ecco

he_day_before.txt
This moment, at the river, is the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prayer for Yah to
return to Israel. This is the at-one-ment moment when Yah by the Angel
of his Presence, the Dove of the Torah, has returned to Israel and
entered the temple of Yahshuah’s body. Now Yahshuah can truly be
called Immanuel “Yah is with us.”
Isaiah said:
Rip the heavens apart! Come down, Yah; make the mountains tremble.
Be a spark that starts a fire causing water to boil. Then your enemies will
know who you are; all nations will tremble because you are nearby. Your
fearsome deeds have completely amazed us; even the mountains shake when you
come down. You are the only Eloah ever seen or heard of who works miracles for
his followers. You help all who gladly obey and do what you want, but sin
makes you angry. Only by your help can we ever be saved. (Isa 64:1-5 CEV)
"And when Jesus was being baptized a great light flashed like fire from the
water, so that all who had gathered there were afraid." From the Diatessaron
and Romanos Melodos, First Hymn on the Epiphany, XVI.14.7-10:
The ripping of the sky is important for it means a new age has begun and the old
sky cannot be put back together again like it was.
15 Yahshuah’s Three Temptations in the Wilderness
Luke 4:1-15
49
The angel, then guided Yahshuah’s footsteps to a solitary place in the desert
filled with wild animals. The animals were tame in the presence of the New
Adam, and a circle of angels protected him.
“The angel of the LORD camps round about them that fear him, and delivers
them”. (Psalm 34:7)
He went forty days and nights without food.
for forty days and nights, and I ate no bread and drank no water, because my
food and my drink was to see the angel who was with me, and to hear his
speech. (The Apocalypse of Abraham 1:10).
The desert to the Hebrews was the abode of evil spirits (shedim) and
Yahshuah boldly invaded Azazel’s territory to engage him in the battle.
Azazel defeated the first Adam and turned the world into a desert. So it is in
the desert that the new battle begins.
and Yahshuah was weak and hungry when the devil (the chief fallen angel Azazel) appeared to him saying, “If you are really the son of Yah, turn these
stones into loaves of bread, and eat.”
Yahshuah answered, “It is written, ‘Man will not live on bread alone, but on
every word that proceeds out of the mouth of Father.’” Lk.4:4
As Moses wrote:
So he humbled you and let you go hungry and fed you with the manna,
which neither you had known, nor your fathers had known; in order to make
you know that not by bread alone does man live, but by every expression of
Yah’s mouth does man live. De.8:3
Then Azazel led him into Yerushalayim and up a staircase to the roof the
Temple. He said, “If you really are the son of Yah, you can throw yourself off and
his angels will catch you for it is written in the Psalms:
He will cover you with His wings. And under His wings you will be safe. He
is faithful like a safe-covering and a strong wall. You will not be afraid of
trouble at night, or of the arrow that flies by day. You will not be afraid of the
sickness that walks in darkness, or of the trouble that destroys at noon. A
thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand. But it will
not come near you. You will only look on with your eyes, and see how the sinful
are punished. Because you have made Yah your safe place, and the Most High
the place where you live, nothing will hurt you. No trouble will come near your
tent. For He will tell His angels to care for you and keep you in all your ways.
They will hold you up in their hands, so your foot will not hit against a stone.
You will walk upon the lion and the snake. You will crush under your feet the
young lion and the snake. Psalm 91:4
Yahshuah answered, “On the other hand it is written by Moses; you will not
put Father to the test.”
50
De.6:16 You must not put Yah your Eloah to the test, the way YOU put him
to the test at Mas'sah.
“Directed by Yah, the whole company of Israel moved on by stages from the
Wilderness of Sin. They set camp at Rephidim. And there wasn't a drop of water
for the people to drink The people took Moses to task: "Give us water to drink."
But Moses said, "Why pester me? Why are you testing Yah?" But the people
were thirsty for water there. They complained to Moses, "Why did you take us
from Egypt and drag us out here with our children and animals to die of thirst?"
Moses cried out in prayer to Yah, "What can I do with these people? Any minute
now they'll kill me!" Yah said to Moses, "Go on out ahead of the people, taking
with you some of the elders of Israel. Take the staff you used to strike the Nile.
And go. I'm going to be present before you there on the rock at Horeb. You are to
strike the rock. Water will gush out of it and the people will drink." Moses did
what he said, with the elders of Israel right there watching. He named the place
Mas’sah (Testing-Place) and Meribah (Quarreling) because of the quarreling of
the Israelites and because of their testing of Yah when they said, "Is Yah here
with us, or not?" (Peterson Translation) Exo 17:1
Wisdom is found by those who test it not, and it manifests him itself to
those who do not disbelieve it . Wisdom 1:2
Then Azazel led Yahshuah from Yerushalayim to a high mountain where he
could see many cities below. Azazel said, “I rule every city, and every kingdom in
the Cosmos, and I can give them to you now if you want. If you will bow your
knee one time to me, I will give them to you.”
Yahshuah answered, Get away from me Azazel for it is written by Moses
“You will bow the knee to worship only Father, for he is your only Eloah, you
must not bow nor serve any others”. (Lk 4:8)
You must not bow down to them or be led to serve them, because I your Eloah
am an Eloah exacting exclusive devotion. De.5:9
Azazel then departed until later, and the angels gathered round with heavenly
food and drink to strengthen Yahshuah.
If you work the good my children…
“The devil will flee from you; wild animals will be afraid of your and angels will
stand by you.” (Naphtali 8:3-4)
16
Yahshuah Begins His Ministry
Mark 1:15
From the mountain, Yahshuah journeyed to the Galil region telling everyone
he met “The time has been fulfilled. “repent” and believe the Gospel of the
Kingdom of Yah.
51
(Editor’s note: Azazel’s time of dominion is fulfilled and ended. The
reign of Yah is near for those who Repent (Hebrew “Nacham” to sigh and
Greek “Metanoio” to change your mind).
Every word or deed begins in the mind. Our minds either allow, or block
our words and deeds. Sorrow, regret and guilt play a role in mind
changing. But not all sorrow, regret and guilt lead to righteous mind
changing. In someone who is not focused on the Father, they lead to
depression, despair and suicide. Yahshuah’s Gospel of the Kingdom
focuses us on the Father. When you are Father-centered, sorrow, regret,
and guilt cause a change of mind that leads to freedom, renewal, and a
desire to live a right life. This inner change will only be fleeting if you do
not take the next steps that the Gospel points to. To achieve true Metanoio
you must go to all the people you have sinned against and confess, and
ask them to forgive you. Of course you won’t be able to find everyone, but
find all you can. Do not expect them, to forgive you. Only expect that your
actions and words will lead to freedom, and renewal as you draw nearer
and nearer to the heart of the Father. (End of Editor’s note).
Andres, who had passed the night listening to Yahshuah, went to BeitTzaidah, his village in the Galil region, to find his brother Shimon to tell him that
he had found the Messiah. When Yahshuah arrived, Andres brought his brother
to see him. Yahshuah looked at him and said, “You are Shimon (hearing), the
son of Jonah (the dove), you will be called Peter (which means Pebble).”
The next day in Beit-Tzaidah, Yahshuah found Philippos and said, “Follow
me.”
Philippos ran and found Nathaniel, and said, “We have found the Messiah
that Moses and the prophets foretold, it is Yahshuah of Netzeret, from the house
of Yosef, the Charash, the .”
Nathaniel asked, “can any good thing come out of Netzeret?’
Philip said, “Come and see.”
Netzeret was a small, insignificant village in the Galil region. Isaiah
called it “The Circle of the Heathens” (Is.9:1). Often commentators labeled
the Galileans as backwards, but actually they were the most cosmopolitan
of the Jews for the Galil had long been a region of many nations
intermingling; Greeks, Canaanites, Phoenicians, Syrians, and Babylonian,
Nabateans, Arabs and Romans. The backwater of the region was Jerusalem
which was a closed society. The Jewish Galileans spoke Hebrew with a lilt
and because the GalilI bordered Samaria, Galileans were often grouped
with the Samaritans. The wicked Hasmonean Dynasty came from the Galil.
In 140 BC, they usurped the government which was not theirs, but was
supposed to remain with the tribe of Judah, and they usurped the
priesthood which was to remain among the Zaddokites of the tribe of Levi.
52
They killed thousands of Jews especially among the Pharisees, they
changed the feast of Tabernacles, placed pagan 9 branched menorahs in
the temple and were thugs and terrorists killing as many of their
countrymen as they killed Syrians.
In 88 BC, Alexander Jannaeus the son of John Hyrcanus (in office 103-76
BC), ordered the crucifixion of 800 Pharisees.
"As he was feasting with his concubines, in the sight of all the city, he ordered
about eight hundred of them to be crucified; and while they were living, he
ordered the throats of their children and wives to be cut before their eyes."
(Jospehus Antiquities 13:14:2)
The Hasmonean dynasty was ended by Herod The Great (pervert). And
then the Galil became the center of the insane Herod family who were
Edomite/Hittites/ known for their murders and aggressive Hellenization.
They attempted to make Greeks out of the Jews, by reintroducing the
Greek mystery religions: Cybele and Dionysius-The Bull God cult.
“Wake up, YOU drunkards, and weep; and howl, all YOU wine drinkers (of
Dionysius), on account of sweet wine, for it has been cut off from YOUR
mouths. For there is a nation that has come up into my land (the Greeks),
mighty and without number. Its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it has the
jawbones of a lion. It has set my vine as an object of astonishment, and my fig
tree as a stump. It has positively stripped it bare and thrown [it] away. The
twigs of it have become white. Wail, as a virgin girded with sackcloth does over
the owner of her youth.” (Joel 1:5-8)
“And for my people they kept casting lots; and they would give the male child
for a prostitute, and the female child they sold for wine, that they might drink.”
(Joel 3:3)
The boys became castrated prostitutes in the temple of Cybele/Demeter
and the girls were deflowered, sacrificed and cannibalized by the Baal
(Bull) cult.
The Bacchanalia
The bacchanalia were wild and mystic festivals of the Roman God of
Wine Bacchus (Dionysisus in Greece). Originally it was a cult only for
women that celebrated the wine god in the Spring, but later it admitted men
and they had wild orgiastic revelries five times a month and focused on
teenagers; no one over 20 could join the cult. Because of their excesses,
and the murders and crimes associated with the cult, the Roman senate
tried to ban them, but it was not a ban that was enforced. During their
procession boys carried loaves of bread shaped like penises and girls
53
carried baskets. This cult would have surely been at play in Palestine
during Yahshuah’s day for the festival of Dionysius rivaled the Olympics in
popularity.
The Edomite Sadducees murdered any Jews who opposed them. By all
accounts, the Circle of the Heathens was a wicked place. It was the ideal
location for Yahshuah to do his work. The light begins at the darkest hour
in the darkest place. The Galil was a microcosm of the world, and it
foreshadowed that his Gospel was to be for all nations. Yahshuah turned
every expectation about the Messiah on its head, Netzeret of the Galil was
the last place anyone expected to see the Messiah.
When Yahshuah saw Nathaniel, he said, “Behold an Israelite who never lies.”
Nathaniel asked him, “How do you know me?”
Yahshuah answered, “Before Philippos called you, when you were under the
fig tree, I saw you.”
Nathaniel answered and said to him, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are
the King of Israel.”
Yahshuah said, “If you believe just because of what I said, you will see even
greater things. You will see heaven open, and the angels of Yah ascending and
descending on, the Messiah, this mortal man (the Son of Man).”
Yahshuah calls himself a mortal more than 80 times in the Gospels. The
Early English translators have used the obscure phrase “son of man”. In
Hebrew that would translate Ben Adam “son of Adam” –a human. Yah
addresses Ezekiel as Ben Adam (a mortal) over 90 times. David says not to
trust any Ben Adam (mortal) (Ps.146:3). Job said Ben Adam is “a worm”
Job 25:6). Gabriel calls Daniel “Ben Adam” and the famous scene in Daniel
where he has a vision of a Ben Adam who comes to the Ancient of Days
and is given a kingdom which shall never fail is in another language
Chaldean “Bar Enash” (a mortal). In Numbers 23:19 Moses puts to rest any
idea that Yah could become a man. “God is not an Ish (male) or a Ben
Adam “son of Adam” (mortal).
Yahshuah knew what he was doing when he called himself Ben Adam.
He also knew Azazel would try to make him into a God to lead men into
idolatry by worshipping a man as God. Yahshuah was doing everything
possible to tell us he was a mortal, and not God.
Not one Apostle ever went beyond Nathaniel’s confession “You are the
son of Yah.”
There is a vast difference between God the son and the son of God.
Yahshuah was never called God the son.

The Wedding in Kanah
John 2:1From
Yahshuah and his new disciples traveled to Kanah to meet his mother Mary
and his blood brothers and sisters at a wedding. During the reception, they ran
out of grape juice. Mary asked Yahshuah to perform a small miracle. He said,
“Dearest lady my time has not yet arrived.”
She nodded towards his disciples and asked, “Are you sure?”
Mary said to the servants, “Whatever he tells you to do, do it.”
There were six water Jars in the pantry, the kind used by the Jews for
household water, containing 445 liters (or 120 gallons)
(Editor’s note: seeing that the wedding guests had already drunk the
first batch, if it was alcohol, they would already have been quite tipsy. It is
beyond belief that Yahshuah would produce 120-180 gallons more of high
grade alcohol for them. He came to give us health and sanity not to destroy
our brain cells and cause us to slur our speech and fall to the ground
vomiting. This is my argument for grape juice. Yahshuah would never make
anything that destroyed
people, making them lose all control of
themselves as alcohol does. The Greek word used here for drunk is
Methuo which means inebriated. This one alien word has tied Christianity
to the Dionysian wine cult for 2,000 years. In Hebrew the word would have
been shatah which means to swallow a liquid.
Would the perfect, sinless man make a drink, or partake of a drink, that
causes the brain to shrink? Autopsies on alcoholics show that their brains
have shrunk considerably compared to people of their own age and
gender.There are two main Hebrew words in the Bible for wine Tirosh and
Yayin. Tirosh is always unfermented non-alcoholic grape juice and
gladdens the heart and is good for an upset stomach. Yayin is also nonalcoholic when it is fresh and is sometimes referred to as a blessing, but
55
when Yayin becomes fermented it becomes a poison and is severely
condemned. God's people were not to drink alcohol.

"Noah drank Yayin and was drunken in his tent" (Genesis 9:20).
"come let us make our father drink Yayin and we will lie with him."
(Genesis 19:30-38) spoken by the daughters of Lot.
"Do not drink Yayin nor strong drink when you go into the tabernacle
lest you die." (Leviticus 10-9-10).
"They have given a boy for a harlot and sold a girl for Yayin that they
might drink." (Joel 3:3)
"Awake ye drunkards, weep and howl ye drinkers of Yayin." (Joel
1:5)
"Yayin is a mocker , strong drink is a raging and whosoever is
deceived by it is not wise." (Prov.20.1)
"They assemble themselves for corn and Yayin and they rebel
against me." (Hosea 7:14)
"Whoredom and Yayin ..take away the heart." (Hosea 4:11)
"Woe to those that are at ease in Zion...that lie upon beds of
ivory…that drink Yayin (Amos 6:6)
"Be not among Yayin drinkers" (Prov. 23:20)
Look closely at the context when you are studying Yayin and remember it
was not always fermented. If Yayin is spoken well of in some scriptures it
will be the unfermented Yayin. The weakness of our English language of
the 21st Century is that when we see the word wine we automatically think
alcohol. This was not so in Biblical days.
There is even a warning about Tirsoh:
"Whoredom Yayin and Tirsoh...take way the heart" (Hosea 4:11).
Tirosh was expensive and a was considered the queen of beverages. Those
who are crazy about it fall into the category of gluttons; too much
attachment to anything of pleasure destroys the soul. In no uncertain terms
Yahshuah condemned drunkenness:
Yahshuah said,
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with
surfeiting, and drunkenness. (Lk.21:34)
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and
at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint
him his portion with the unbelievers. (Lk. 12:46)
56
It is my belief that Jesus made fresh grape juice, Tirosh, and not the
forbidden alcoholic wine. Would he who was sinless make a condemned
substance? He would never have made a drink that causes people to lose
visual acuity, mental acuity, bodily motor control and that leads to ravings,
fighting, vomiting, memory-loss, cirrhosis of the liver, black-outs and loss
of brain mass? It is unthinkable to suggest that he made alcoholic wine. It
says that the people at the wedding ran out of beverage. If they had drunk
all the alcohol they had, are we to believe that Jesus made 180 gallons
more? They would have been falling down and slurring their speech and
passing out. Would the lover of our lives really do that to people? Open
your eyes he came to set us free from alcohol, not make party animals out
of us.
What About Moderation?
Alcoholic Yayin is called "the poison of dragons, the cruel venom of asps"
that comes from the grapes that are grown on the terraces of Sodom and
Gomorra (Deut.32:33 NEB ).
Even in moderation, it is a poison. You wouldn't advocate adultery in
moderation, or murder in moderation so why would you advocate taking
Alcohol in moderation?
Yahshuah said to them,
“Fill the water jars with more water.” After many trips to the well, they filled
them up to the brim.
Then he said, “Draw out a cupful, and take it to the ruler of the feast”.
When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water, he did not know where it
came from, (but the servants who drew the water knew). The ruler of the feast
called the bridegroom, and said to him, “Every man at the beginning serves the
good juice; and as the party progresses, serves the worst, but you have kept the
best juice for the end.”
This the first miracle Yahshuah did in Kanah of the Galil, and his disciples
saw the first rays of the Shokeyn Glory of his Father shining from him and they
became believers.
On a symbolic level

The Mosaic Torah is like a Mother urging the servants (the Jews)
to do what her son Yahshuah says to do.

He turns the water (the first Torah) into wine (the complete Torah)
“He who fears Yah will do this; he who is practices in the Torah
will come to Wisdom. Mother-like she will meet him, like a young
bride, she will embrace him, nourish him with the bread of
learning, and give him the water of understanding to drink.”
(Sirach 15:1-3)
57
Wisdom said: “Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine
which I have mingled.” (Prov.9:5)

Cana, in the Circle of the Heathens (the Galil), represents how
Israel had united with the pagan cults of the Canaanites and their
wisdom (wine had run out).

Yahshuah is not the Bridegroom at this wedding, he appears with
new wine (wisdom) marking the beginning of a new, and better
age. His offer is a new covenant where people will marry a new
and pure Torah.

Judaism has failed, their wine is gone. Yahshuah came to mark
the end of Judaism, but not the end of the wedding. He rescues
the wedding from its disastrous course and offers the new and
perfect Torah –the best juice of all. Marry the Torah of Yahshuah
(his red letter words) and live happily ever after.

The idea that the Sabbath is a bride (Lecha Dodi) only dates to
1530 AD and is attributed to Moses Ha-Levi Alkabiz (Jewish
Encyclopedia
http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=171&letter=L&
search=bride )
A Word about Drugs
The Greek word for drugs is pharmakeia meaning sorcery There
are a dozen Hebrew words poorly translated as “strong drink”.
Almost every drug in the old world is condemned in the bible.
Drugs were used in every heathen cult. It takes a clear mind to
reach the kingdom.

The First Visit to Peter and Andre’s House
Mt.4:19
From the wedding, along with his family, they went to Peter and Andres’s
house in Kefer Nahum. There on the seashore Yahshuah found two fishermen
mending their nets. He said,
“Follow me and I will teach you to catch men alive, you’ll be fishers of people
(“ fishers of the Torah” -teachers).”
The Essenes said Azazel catches people with three nets. Yahshuah’s
fishermen would be pulling people out of Azazel’s net into Yah’s net, (regathering the lost flock).
They immediately left their nets with their father Zebedee and thus Yah-kov
and Yahchanan (John) Zebedee became his disciples. He nicknamed them the
sons of Thunder (these brothers were the hotheads who wanted to call down
fire on a Samaritan village).
58
They only stayed in Kefer Nahum a few days, and then traveled with his
family to Yerushalayim for the Passover.

Yahshuah’s First Notice that the Temple and Judaism were Doomed
Jn.2:11
Yahshuah braided some rush reeds together, made a small whip, and went
into the Temple. This whip could sting, but not injure.
Listen, an uproar from the city! A voice from the temple! The voice of Yah
(his representative), dealing retribution to his enemies! Is. 66 verse :6
As it is written in the Scroll of Malachi:
Behold I will send my messenger (John the Baptizer) and he shall prepare the
way before me. And they (Yahshuah and the angel of Yah) will suddenly come to
his temple, Yah (his angel) whom you seek, and my messenger of the covenant
(the Messiah) whom you desire; Behold he himself (the angel) comes says Yah
Tsebaoth . But who can endure them when they come? And who shall stand
when he (the angel) appears. For he is like a refiner’s fire and like a fuller’s soap,
and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver and he will purify the sons of
Levi and refine them as gold and silver. From the Dead Sea Scrolls version of
Malachi 3:1
Yahshuah drove out the sacrificial animals, and released the doves. The
cattle sellers and dove sellers fled. He wouldn’t let anyone bring in pots and
pans, garments for sale, musical instruments, or weapons.
The word in Hebrew is Keli (vessels), and can include arms, Jer_21:4; Eze_9:1; clothes,
Deu_22:5, and instruments of music, Psa_71:22.
He turned over the money-lenders tables scattering their coins and shouted,
“Father’s House is supposed to be a place of prayer
not a marketplace!”
It is written: Wail, you who live in the market district; all your merchants
will be wiped out, all who trade with silver will be ruined. Zephaniah 2:11
These money lenders were loan sharking and charging interest and anyone
who could not repay the loan, was sold into slavery.
(He thus ended the Temple services of tithes and offerings and animal
sacrifices, loan sharking and the buying and selling of humans -slavery).
He ended Religion; specifically Judaism. Later his disciples remembered the
Scripture, “My love for your House consumes me like fire.”
I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto my mother's
children. For the zeal of thine house hath eaten me up; and the reproaches of
them that reproached you are fallen upon me. When I wept, and chastened my
soul with fasting, that was to my reproach. I made sackcloth also my garment;
and I became a proverb to them. (Psalm 69:8)
59
The rogue Sadducean (Edomite) leaders came on the scene and demanded
to know, “What prophetic sign or miracle can you show us to convince us that
you had a right to do this? Show us why you have done this?”
Yahshuah answered, “Destroy this temple,” and in three days I will restore it.”
The rogue leaders replied, “It took forty-six years to build this Temple. How
can you rebuild it in three days?”
However, Yahshuah was talking about his body as Yah’s true temple (where
the Angel of Yah’s Presence, the Shokeyn glory now dwelled). Later, when he
rose from the Land of Death, his disciples remembered what he had said and
then it made sense.
This story is mistakenly called Cleaning the Temple. Yahshuah did not
come to cleanse or reform Judaism.. He came to end it.
20
How to Be Spirit Born
Jn. 3:1-16
That night Rav Nicodemus, a Senator, a sage, a Doctor of the Law, teacher of
teachers and a leader of the Sandhedrin, came to see Yahshuah. He said,
“Rabbi, I know Adonai is with you for I see him working in your words and deeds.
What message do you have for us?
Yahshuah replied, “You must be born again, or you will never be able to see
the coming Kingdom of Yah.”
Nicodemus asked, “How can a grown man be fathered again? Can he reenter his mother’s womb?”
There are two births, one is physical, and one is a spirit-birth. Father’s words
(logos) are water and seeds that Father uses to spirit-birth you by his breath.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of the breath is
spirit. Do not look so surprised Nicodemus. Father breathes and his breath
carries his words and those who hear them and obey them, become spirit born.
"The Spirit (angel) flows where he wants, and you are hearing his voice right this
minute; but you are unaware of from where the voice (Bat kol) comes or to where
it returns.
Nicodemus was astonished and asked, “How can this be possible?”
Yahshuah said, “Nicodemus you are a leader of the nation and you mean you
do not understand this fundamental truth of the scriptures? I have experienced it,
but whenever I try to explain it to you Pharisees, you cannot seem to understand
it. If I tell you this is something you can experience now on the earth, you cannot
seem to grasp it.
It is written in the Scroll of Isaiah:
60
I am about to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous
work and a wonder; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish and the
insights of their prudent men will be hidden. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Isaiah
29:14
If you cannot grasp earthly things, how will you grasp the higher things I learned
when I was taken up to heaven? Yah has not taken any of you up to heaven, but
he took me. I have ascended and have returned with gifts -heavenly revelations.
I am the only son of Adam who has ever seen Yah, or heard his voice.
Who has gone up to the heavens and taken it (Wisdom), or brought it down
from the clouds? Baruch 3:29
Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who hath gathered the
wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in his garment? Who hath
established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's
name, if you know? Pro 30:4
Wisdom is the Scroll of the precepts of God, the law that endures forever; all
who cling to it will live, but those will die who forsake it. Baruch 4:1
When I, the Messiah, a mortal man am lifted up, then my teachings will bring
restoration and healing, just as Moses lifted up a brass Saraph (angelic creature)
on a pole and his followers were healed by gazing upon it.
(Editor’s note: Most translations say Moses lifted up a brass serpent on
a pole. In view of the fact that serpents are associated with Azazel (Satan) it
always struck me as incongruous that Moses fashioned a serpent of brass
and that Yahshuah would equate his Gospel with a serpent image. However
according to the Jewish Encyclopedia, “The seraphim are frequently
mentioned in the Book of Enoch (xx. 7, lxi. 10, lxxi. 7), where they are
designated as δράκονες ("serpents").” The Saraphim (serpents) flew and
were made of fire. The Hebrew word describing these serpents is Saraphim
which links them with the highest class of angels who guard the throne.
Isaiah described them with some human parts like hands and feet and
animal heads; eagle, bull, lion and human. It makes more sense to me that
Moses made an angelic figure and put it on the pole and that Yahshuah
compares his Gospel to an angelic image rather than to a snake (end of
Editor’s note).
Yahshuah continues with Nicodemus:
Those who gaze upon my wisdom teaching, and unite with the words
(devarim, Memra , logos) I speak, and obey them, will find my revelations will
heal them of their sins and give them the Spirit-birth that leads to immortality and
the Father’s love.
61
As it is written in the Scroll of Wisdom:
For when the dire venom of beasts came upon them and they were dying from
the bite of crooked serpents, your anger endured not to the end. But as a warning,
for a short time they were terrorized, though they had a sign of salvation, to
remind them of the precept of your law. For he who turned toward it was saved,
not by what he saw, but by you, the savior of all… But not even the fangs of
poisonous reptiles overcame your sons, for your mercy brought the antidote to
heal them. For as a reminder of your injunctions, they were stung, and swiftly
they were saved… For indeed, neither herb nor application cured them, but your
all-healing word. (Wisdom 16: 5)
Father loves people so much that he uniquely fathered me, and all who unite
with me by faith and obedience will not taste permanent death, but gain
immortality. He did not father me to condemn humans, but to save them.
Whoever unites with me will not be condemned on the Judgment Day, but
whoever rejects me, already wears the mark of the condemned.
People, whose thoughts and deed are continually evil, will reject me, just as
darkness rejects light. Whoever does vile things hates the light and tries to put it
out before it exposes them. However, whoever actively produces truth and does
good, loves the light and gladly comes to it, so that the truth of his, or her, deeds
can be established. Whoever believes (unites with, loves, and obeys) the son,
will have Zoe-life, but whoever disobeys the son, will reap a bitter harvest of
vengeance.
For God formed man to be imperishable; the image of his own nature he made
him. But by the envy of the devil, death entered the world, and they who are in
his possession experience it. (Wisdom 2: 23)
(Editor’s note: The Hebrew word Faith, “Emun” only appears twice in
the Hebrew Scriptures and both times means “faithfulness”
“For they are a very perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.”
(Emun).” (Deut.32:20)
“The just shall live by his faithfulness” (firmness) (Emunah).” (Hab.2:4)
“The English word “feyth,” in Havelok the Dane (13th century); is akin to
fides and this again to the Sanskrit root bhidh, “to unite,” “to bind.” It is
worthwhile to recall this primeval suggestion of the spiritual work of faith,
as that which, on man's side, unites him to God for salvation”. (from the
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia).
In the New Testament, the weak Greek word Pistis, “Faith” can mean three
things
62
A. Miracle Faith: the power to move mountains, and be healed. “Thy
faith has made you whole.”
B. The Faith: as in are you a member of The Faith?
C. Salvation Faith: “Whoever believes in him has eternal life.”
The only way we can know which Pistis is meant is to translate it in
context. Unfortunately a tradition has emerged in Christianity which does
not get to the full meaning of Salvation Faith. By the 21st Century most
Christians believe Salvation Faith is a purely mental process. The preacher
asks, “Do you believe Yahshuah is your Lord and Savior?” If they say
”Yes”, they are told, “You are now “saved, you have eternal life
(immortality), and you can never lose it.”
Salvation Faith has five components
1.
2.
3.
4.
A mental acceptance: as in “I believe you. I believe it to be true.”
Love: “Faith works by love.”
Union: To “believe on his name” means to unite with him.
Obedience: “Why do you call me Lord, Lord and not do the things I
said to do?”
5. Inner Confidence in times or trials: “Why are you so fearful you
oligopistos (lackers of pistis)?”
Paul made Pistis the cornerstone of Salvation, but of the 20 times
Yahshuah used Pistis, he only used it one time in regards to Salvation.
Mainly he used in regards to miracles and healings as in Luke 17:5
And the Master said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say
unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted
in the sea; and it should obey you.
He used it 5 times in regards to having Inner Confidence rebuking his
Apostles for not having it. Once he used it in the sense of
“faithfulness.” He prayed that Peter would not lose his Pistis, and
wondered if when he returned at the end of the age there would be any
real Pistis on the earth. But Primarily he used Pistis in regards to
healing. He told several people it was their Pistis that healed them.
The only time Yahshuah connected Salvation to Pistis was when he told
a prostitute “Thy Pistis has saved you.” She had just washed his feet
with her tears. She demonstrated the five elements of Salvation Pistis:
1. Mentally she believed Yahshuah was the Messiah.
2. She loved him.
63
3. She united intimately with him washing his feet with her tears of
repentance, drying them with her hair, anointing them with perfume
and ardently kissing them.
4. She obeyed the laws of hospitality that the Pharisee had neglected.
5.
She was fearless to enter the house of a self-righteous
Pharisee fully confident that if she could reach Yahshuah, Yahshuah
would not throw her out. This does not mean she reached full
salvation and entered the Father’s house. If she went back to a life of
prostitution, her initial Saving Faith will have withered just like the
seeds that fell on the rocks. (End of Editor’s note.)

John, the Baptizer, Rejoices about the Work of Yahshuah Jn. 3:29
Leaving Yerushalayim, Yahshuah’s family headed north to Netzeret, and he,
and his disciples went east to the Yardan River near Einayim Shalem where
John, the Baptizer, was baptizing and set up a camp on the river. The next day
some rogues among the Jews tried to stir up some division by saying to John,
the Baptizer,
“Rabbi, the man you said was greater than you, has set up camp down the
river and all your disciples are deserting you and going down to be baptized by
him.”
Now Yahshuah himself was not baptizing people in water, for he did not come
to water-baptize, but to spirit-baptize. He did however allow his disciples to
water- baptize as a sign of repentance for the time being, for the Spirit baptism
would not come until he rose from the dead, ascended to heaven and brought
back the Paraclete (spirit) angel.
John, the Baptizer, said to the rogues, “I am overjoyed that my disciples are
going to see him. I told you I am not the Messiah. He is. I was only his
forerunner. When a man finds his bride, his best friend is happy for him. That is
exactly how I feel about Yahshuah. He is like a bridegroom (Wisdom is his
bride) and I am like his best man. He must increase and I must decrease. This is
Father’s way. We live on the earth, and can only explain earthly things, but he
was taken to heaven and is now explaining what he saw and heard. He is
therefore above all humans. Yet almost no one believes him. Father ordained
him to speak his message. Father’s Presence, his angel, lives in Yahshuah
without measure. Father loves his uniquely birthed son, and has placed all
authority in his hands. You must believe, and follow the son, if you wish to gain
immortality. Those who reject the son, will never see life, but will reap a harvest
of vengeance.”
22 Yahshuah Travels Back to the Galil Region to Avoid Being Arrested Mrk.16:11
64
The next day, Antipas (the son of Herod the king of the Jews) had John, the
Baptizer, arrested, and imprisoned in the Fortress of Machaerus on the border of
Arabia north of the Dead Sea.
Antipas was the youngest son of Herod, “the King of the Jews” (the
great pervert) via a Samaritan wife, Malthace. Antipas grew up in Rome. He
was savagely cruel. He left his first wife, an Arabian/ Nabatean princess to
marry Herodias who was also his niece. She was still married to his halfbrother Herod Philip the First (not the tetrarch) her other uncle. She was a
royal princess from the Hasmonean family.
When Yahshuah, and his disciples, heard Antipas had arrested John, they left
the river. On their journey back to the Galil, they decided to cross the territory of
the despised Samaritans.
(Editor’s note: The following information is quoted mainly from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samaritan
The Samaritans were despised because they claimed to be the true
Israel of Yah and viewed the Jews as illegitimate. “The Samaritans
make their claim from the earliest times. They say when the twelve
tribes conquered the land of Canaan, Joshua, by Yah’s will, established
the tent (tabernacle of Moses) with the ark on Mt. Gerizim (where
Abraham attempted to offer Yitzak ). 400 years later, Eli, the wicked
priest, left the tabernacle established on Mount Gerizim and built
another one under his own rule in the hills of Shiloh (1 Sam 1:1-3; 2:1217). Thus, the Samaritan’s say he established both an illegitimate
priesthood and an illegitimate place of worship.
At this time the Children of Israel split into three factions. A loyal
faction on Mount Gerizim; a heretical faction that followed false Gods;
and the faction that followed Eli at Shiloh.
Those at Mount Gerizim were with the High Priest Uzzi ben Bukki, on
the chosen ground, Mount Gerizim (Bethel), in the holy city of Shechem.
They called themselves Keepers of the Torah Shamerim. They further
accuse the Jews of tampering with the scriptures that name Mt. Gerizim
as the permanent home of the tabernacle.
Deu 11:29 And it shall come to pass, when Yah thy Eloah hath brought you in
unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the
blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.
The Samaritan Bible reads
65
Jos 8:30 Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in mount
Gerizim
The Hebrew Bible reads
Jos 8:30 Then Joshua built an altar unto the LORD God of Israel in
mount Ebal.
The Samaritans have a good point that if Yah put a blessing on Mt.
Gerizim, and a curse on Mt. Ebal, why would Joshua build the altar on
the cursed mountain?
Following Solomon's death in c. 926 BC, tensions between the northern
part of Israel containing the 9 and one third northern tribes, and the
southern section dominated by Jerusalem reached a boiling point.
When Solomon's successor Rehoboam, dealt ruthlessly with the
economic complaints. In 920 BC, Israel split into 2 kingdoms: in the
north it was called Israel (it was also called Ephraim or Joseph, and later
Samaria. It included the cities of Shechem and Bethel.
Three tribes remained in the South (Judah, Benjamin and most of the
tribe of Levi ( eventually about two thirds as many returned when Israel
slipped deeper into idolatry.).
The Northern Kingdom
Abi-Yah, a prophet from the north, told young Jeroboam that Yah was
going to restore Israel through him. After Solomon died Jeroboam was
named king in the north and proclaimed Sheckem on Mt. Gerizim to be
the true site of the tabernacle from old. He also declared Mount Hermon
to be Mount Zion of old. He restored the feast of Tabernalces (Sukkoth)
from the 7th month to the 8th month. He further declared the Bull to be
the ancient symbol of Yah and built two gold bulls (because they were
small images they were called calves). He put one in Sheckem/Beth-El
(the house of El) and one on the ancient Mount Zion.
Bull worship was ubiquitous among Semites. The Bull was the ultimate
male symbol of fertility, and dominion. Even the Laver in the temple was
supported by 12 brass bulls (fertility statues). Aaron made a gold bull
before Mount Sinai and Moses tore it down and melted it.
If Moses had seen those twelve brass bulls in Solomon’s Temple, he
would have melted them down in fury.
The Bull has been identified with Moloch. It is not clear if the child
sacrifice was called Moloch or if the children were offered to a deity
named Moloch. Solomon sacrificed many children to Moloch. The
66
prophets in both the north and the south cried out against these idols
and the despicable practice of human sacrifice. Apparently children
were being sacrifice to Yah as the Bull God.
“The fact, therefore, now generally accepted by critical scholars, is that
in the last days of the kingdom human sacrifices were offered to Yhwh.
“(http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=718&letter=M&search=child%20sacri
fice)
In the Scroll of Jeremiah it is written, Thus says Yah:
And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of
Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto
Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that
they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin. Jer 32:35
Yahshuah came to end the Bull cult. Certainly Yah was against it.
“For in the day that I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt, I did
not speak to them or command them concerning burnt offerings and
sacrifices.” (Jer. 7:22-23)
“I do not delight in the blood of bulls.” (Is.1:11)
Do you realize the staggering import of this statement? It means if Yah
did not give the laws regarding sacrifice that fill about one third of the
Torah then someone else did. There is only one person who would want
to make Yah a God of sacrifices, -Azazel.
Jeremiah admits that the Torah had been falsified:
“How can you say that you are wise and that you know my laws? Look, the
Word of Yah has been changed by dishonest scribes.” (Jerm.8:8)
“How can you say, 'We are wise,
And the law of the LORD is with us'?
But behold, the lying pen of the scribes
Has made it into a lie.” (New American Standard Version)
Because we live in the 21st Century, we think the writings of Moses were
kept with the greatest care and no changes could have been made. But in
640 BC, almost a thousand years after Moses no one had a copy of his
writings, and had not had one for many years, and no one was even
looking for it. Hilkiah discovered a copy of it when he was poking in some
rubble as workmen were working on the temple. He rushed to King Josiah.
Who when he heard it tore his clothes and was terrified to see how far they
had departed from
67
"the book of the Torah of Yah written by Moses". (2 Chr. 34:14).
Two hundred years later, it was missing again. When the Babylonians
destroyed the Temple, they burned the Torah. When the Jews retuned from
Babylon around 440 BC, Ezra rewrote the Torah from memory and added
the books of Chronicles and his own book the He is called the “father of
Judaism” and the “Second Moses”.
“Ezra was worthy of being the vehicle of the Law, had it not been already given
through Moses (Sanh.21b). It was forgotten, but Ezra restored it (Suk. 20a)…
Ezra reestablished the text of the Pentateuch, introducing therein the Assyrian or
square characters, apparently as a polemical measure against the Samaritans (Sanh.
21b).” http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=578&letter=E&search=ezra
We can only conclude that somewhere in the hundreds of years when the
Torah was missing, the laws of sacrifices were added to it. Ezra looks like
the prime suspect. It took Yahshuah to give us the true Torah.
Yahshuah declared the temple a den of thieves. The Tent of Moses
had been usurped by the Bull cult.
On the cross Yahshuah quotes Psalm 22 which has this line:
“Many bulls have surrounded me.” (Psalm 22:12)
The Kingdom of Israel, or Northern Kingdom, existed as an independent
state for nearly 200 years, from about 930 BC until around 720 BC, when
it was conquered by the Assyrian Empire.
In 722 B.C., According to 2 Kings 17 and Josephus (Antiquities 9.277–
91), the people of Northern Israel (Samaria) were removed by the king of
the Assyrians (Sargon II- see special wording of 2 Kings 17 which
mentions Shalmaneser in verse 3 but the "king of the Assyrians" from
verse 4 onward), to Halah, to Gozan on the Habor River and to the towns
of the Medes. The king of the Assyrians then brought people from
Babylon, Cuthah, Avah, Emath, and Sepharvaim to place in Samaria in
northern Israel.
A plague of lions appeared among the pagan transplants, so the king of
the Assyrians sent one of the Samaritan priests from Bethel to teach the
new settlers about Yah's ordinances. The eventual result was that the
lions left, and many of the new settlers converted and worshipped Yah,
but many still worshipped their own gods from the countries from which
they came. The Shamerim called the new converts Shomronim .
The Jews, in Yahshuah’s day, considered the Shamerim and Shomroim
to be the same and considered all of them to be traitorous half-breeds
68
and idol worshippers and apostates. And the Samaritans saw the Jews
as Apostates.
The first recorded instance of Yahshuah saying “I am the Messiah”
takes place in Samaria. Perhaps he was honoring their claim to be the
true sons of Israel, although he clearly faulted them for rejecting the
prophets, and said they did not understand the plan of Salvation which
Yah revealed through the prophets of Judah. It was also to a woman
that he first revealed who he was, again turning the conventional
system on its head.
The Myth of the Ten Lost Tribes
The Samaritans reject the myth of the ten lost Tribes insisting that only
a small number of people were deported to Assyria. The Samaritans
have insisted that they are direct descendants of the Northern Israelite 8
1/4 tribes who survived the destruction by the Assyrians.
The inscription of Sargon II records the deportation of a relatively small
proportion of the Israelites (27,290, according to the annals), so it is
quite possible that a sizable population remained that could identify
themselves as Israelites, the term that the Samaritans prefer for
themselves. They to this day call themselves the Tribe of Joseph.
113 years after the deportation (when according to the legend all of the
northern tribes were missing), Josiah collected taxes from Ephraim and
Manasseh and the remnant of Israel.
“the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites that
kept the doors had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all
the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin; and they returned to
Jerusalem”. ( 2 Chron.34:9) So clearly remnants of the ten tribes were
still there.
At the birth of Yahshuah we read of Hannah from the tribe of Asher, and
James wrote a letter to the 12 tribes, so we must conclude none were
missing, or lost.
In 100 BC the Jews destroyed the Samaritan temple on Mount
Gerizim. Coins produced by a Roman mint situated in Nablus included
within their design a depiction of the temple; surviving coins from this
mint, dated to 138-161 CE, show a huge temple complex.
In 531 AD, the wicked Roman Emperor Justinian I, outlawed
Samaritanism and enlisted the help of the Ghassanids, to quash a small
uprising, and the surviving Samaritans were mostly enslaved or exiled.
69
The Samaritans say they are the true sons of Israel. To this day they
only follow the 5 books of Moses. in 2007 there were only 705 of them
remaining; almost all living on Mt. Gerizim.
The Southern Kingdom
The Kingdom of Judah, or Southern Kingdom, existed as an
independent state from about 930 BC until 586 BC when it was
conquered by the Babylonian Empire.
Question: So if Mount Hermon is the true Mount Zion, and Mount
Gerizim is the true home of the temple, why does Yahshuah say
Salvation comes from the Southern Kingdom of Judah?
Answer: Because Judah received, and some believed, the words of the
emerging prophets. Israel/Ephraim denied that the Yah was speaking
through the prophets. To this day the descendants of Israel/Ephraim
(the Samaritans) only believe the five books of Moses are Yah’s word
(like the Sadducees).
At noon, Yahshuah and the Apostles came to the village of Suchar
(modern Nablous where Abraham had pitched his tent and where
Joseph and the patriarchs have their graves at Mount Gerizim where
Joshua first placed the ark).
Yahshuah was tired and sat near a well, (a cistern that the patriarch Yahkov owned 2000 years earlier created from a Spring or fountain).
“Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches
run over the wall.” Gen 49:22
“the fountain of Yah-kov shall be upon a land of corn and wine.” Deu 33:28
The disciples went into the city to buy some food, and Yahshuah rested.
The Samaritan Woman at the Well
Jn. 4
A Samaritan woman came to the well to draw some water and Yahshuah
asked her, “Would you please draw me some water?”
The woman was surprised (for Jewish men, especially Rabbis, never
spoke to despised Samaritan women). She said,
“Is it possible a Jewish Rabbi is speaking to a Samaritan woman, and asking
for a gift of water?”
70
He replied, “Father has a better gift than your gift of water. If you knew who
you were speaking with, you would ask for the real gift: zoe (eternal), living
water.”
Rabbi, she asked, “you do not have a bucket and the well is deep (22.86
meters or 75 feet), where will you get this zoe (eternal) - living water? Are you
greater than our father Yah-kov who gave us this well that he procured for his
family and flocks?
He said, “Whoever drinks from Yah-kov’s well will get thirsty again, but
whoever drinks the zoe (eternal) living water I give, will never be thirsty again, for
my water will become a living well within them bubbling up to impart everlasting
life.
“The word of Yah on high is the fountain of wisdom.” Ecclesiasticus (from the
Latin Vulgate) 1: 5
“Wisdom is poured forth like water.” Enoch 48A:1
all the thirsty drank, and were filled with wisdom, having their habitation with
the righteous, the elect, and the holy. (Enoch 48:1)
“A wise man's knowledge wells up in a flood, and his counsel, like a fountain of
life.” Sirach 14:13
The words of a man's mouth are as deep waters; a flowing brook, a fountain of
wisdom. (Prov.18:4 JPS)
“O kind Rabbi,” she said, “please give me this zoe (eternal) living water so I
will never have to come here and draw water again.”
“I will,” he said, “but first go and bring your husband (Baal) to me.”
“I have no husband.”
“Well spoken. You have answered truthfully,” he said. “You have lived with
five husbands and the one you are with now is not your husband either.”
(He may be testing her to see if she worships Baal, the Bull God, whose
name means husband, for Samaria had been the center of Bull worship).
“Rabbi,” she said, “you are indeed a prophet. Please answer a question that
has long troubled me for many seasons. You Jews say that we must worship Yah
in Yerushalayim (on Mount Moriah), but our priests tell us we must worship him
on that mountain over there (Mt. Gerizim -called today Jabal al-Ṭur). Which
one is the correct mountain?”
(she may be toying with him by asking isn’t the Eloah of the Jews El, the
bull god?)
Yahshuah replied,
“Neither. Father is a spirit. (He is incorporeal, he is invisible and has no
body, or form) He is not limited to this mountain or that. The hour has arrived
when people no longer need go to mountains, but can worship him spiritually (in
their hearts). (Worship is not about external places or rituals. It is living a life of
truth. Your Samaritan priests have lost the truth about Yah, and even though the
Jews do not live it, we at least have preserved it). Knowledge of salvation still
71
comes from the Jews. So listen to this Jew who speaks to you. (Worship takes
place in the spirit realm, and to participate, you must be spirit-born –begotten
from above by the Father).
“Yah is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and
in truth” . John 4: 21
The woman said, “It is all so confusing. I wish the Messiah were here for he
will make everything clear to us.”
Yahshuah replied, “The Messiah is here. He is speaking to you. I am the
Messiah.”
Just then, his disciples returned with the food. They were amazed to see him
speaking with a Samaritan woman, but no one said a word. The woman was so
excited that she left her water jug by the well, and ran into the village. She ran up
and down every street crying, “Come and see a Jewish Rabbi at the well. He
spoke to me and told me everything I ever did. He said he is the Messiah. Come
and see.”
Meanwhile his disciples were puzzled when he refused to eat. “Do not worry,”
he said, “I am getting fed.” They thought someone else had brought him food. He
said, “I am fed by doing Father’s work. It energizes and nourishes me.”
A large crowd was emerging from the village and Yahshuah said,
“Most say it will be four more months until the harvest, but look the harvest is
coming to us. Are you ready to work? The pay is great. You are the lucky ones
for you did not have to plant or pull weeds. It is all been done in advance. You
get in on the best part.”
The crowd came because of the words of the woman, but when they heard
him speak, they became believers. They begged him to stay and teach them,
and so they stayed in Suchar two days. Then many of the Samaritans who came
to hear him became believers and said to the woman, “It is not that we did not
trust you, but now that we have heard him for ourselves, we know he is the
Messiah, the Savior of the Kosmos.”
The copy of the writings of Moses that the Samaritan’s have preserved
use a pre-Babylonian exilic alphabet and differs from the popular version
used by the Jews in 6,000 lines. The Septuagint and Dead Sea Scrolls are
closer to the Samaritan writings than the popular Jewish Masoretic text
used today. Is the parable of the dying man who is helped by a Samaritan,
and ignored by the Jewish priests, a hint that we should look to the
Samaritan text?
23
Yahshuah Heals the son of one of Antipas’ Officials
Jn. 4
As Yahshuah and his disciples (Talmidim) traveled through the Galil, he
stopped at every synagogue, and told everyone to repent, and believe his
message that the Promised Kingdom, the reign of Yah, was arriving.
72
(He had warned his followers that a prophet’s own people do not
welcome a prophet, but so far, the Galileans were happy to meet him
having learned of his words and deeds in Yerushalayim).
When they were a day’s journey from the village of Kanah, where the
wedding had been, one of Antipas’ officials found him, and begged him to come
to his house, for his son was at the point of death. Yahshuah asked him, “Can
you believe without seeing an outward manifestation?”
The official begged him, “Please come before my child dies.”
Yahshuah said, “Go home, I have healed your son.”
The official believed him and went towards his home. As he was nearing the
house, one of his servants ran to him with the good news that his son had
miraculously recovered. When he asked him what time he was healed. The
servant said, “At 1 o’clock yesterday afternoon.” The official knew that was
exactly the time Yahshuah said his son was healed. The official and everyone in
his household became followers of Yahshuah. This was the second miracle that
he performed in the Galil region.
24 An Attempt on Yahshuah’s Life by the Men of His Home Town
Lk. 4
The morning after they arrived in Netzeret, they went to the synagogue.
Yahshuah was invited to read, and was handed the Scroll of the Prophet Isaiah.
He stood up, opened the Scroll to Chapter 61 verse 1, and began to read,
The Angel of Yah is upon me. He has anointed me (Messiah means “the
anointed one”) with a message for the humble. He has sent me to end slavery.
From heaven Yah looked at the earth to hear the groans of the slaves. To free
those who are doomed to die. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 102:19
It is written in the Scroll of Isaiah:
Break the wicked chains, undo the thongs of the yoke, set the slaves free; pull
off every yoke? Is 58:6
He has sent me to open the eyes of the blind, to lift up all those who have
been trodden down, crushed, or bruised by the work of Azazel. Father has sent
me to declare that this is the commencement of his reign of, mercy, and favor.
LK.4:18
As it is written in the scroll of the prophet Isaiah:
“Behold My servant, whom I uphold; Mine elect, in whom My soul delights; I
have put My spirit upon him, he shall make the right to go forth to the
nations. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the
street. A bruised reed shall he not break, and the dimly burning wick shall he
not quench; he shall make the right to go forth according to the truth.”
(Is.42:3)
73
The teachers of the day, said the Messiah would be a shouting
conquering King. But Isaiah said he would not shout and would conquer
by gentleness.
He shall not fail nor be crushed, till he has set right in the earth; and the
isles shall wait for his teaching. Thus says Yah the Eloah, He that created
the heavens, and stretched them forth, He that spread forth the earth and that
which comes out of it, He that gives breath unto the people upon it, and
spirit to them that walk therein:
I Yah have called you in righteousness, and have taken hold of thy hand,
and kept you, and set you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the
nations; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the slaves from the dungeon,
and them that sit in darkness out of the slave-house. I am Yah, that is My
name; and My glory will I not give to another, neither My praise to graven
images… And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not, in paths
that they knew not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them,
and rugged places plain. These things will I do, and I will not leave them
undone. Isa 42:1 & 16
The angel (spirit) of Yah Eloah Tsebaoth is upon me,
because Yah has anointed me;
he has sent me to bring good news to the oppressed,
to bind up the broken-hearted,
to proclaim liberty to the slaves,
and release to the prisoners;
2 to proclaim the year of Yah’s favor,
and the day of vengeance of our Eloah;
to comfort all who mourn;
3 to provide for those who mourn in Zion—
to give them a garland instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness instead of mourning,
the mantle of praise instead of a faint spirit.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
the planting of Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth, to display his glory.
4 They shall build up the ancient ruins,
they shall raise up the former devastations;
they shall repair the ruined cities,
the devastations of many generations. Is 61: 1
The Old Testament sets rules that allows slavery (Leviticus 25:44-46;
Exodus 21:7-11), while at the same time forbidding one to return a runaway
slave (Deuteronomy 23:16-17). Hebrew slaves must be freed after six years
of servitude (Exodus 21:2). Non-Hebrews were slaves for life. If a master
74
beat his male or female slave so severely that the slave is killed
immediately, the master is to be punished. If the master beats the slave, but
the slave lives one, or two days, the master can go unpunished (Exodus
21:21).
It is also against Jewish Law to have, or permit, a sex slave. This was
expanded upon in Exodus with the guidelines for Jewish soldiers who went
to war in foreign lands and saw a beautiful woman who they wished to
marry. She was to be in mourning for her lost parents for one month, after
which the soldier was then free to marry her. The following excerpt said
"Later, if you decide you no longer want her as a wife, you have to let her
go free. Because you forced her into a sexual relationship with you; you
are not allowed to sell her as a slave."
Slaves were considered money (property). If a male Hebrew slave was
given a wife, his wife and children became the permanent property of the
slave owner. Hebrews could sell their daughters into slavery. Forced sex
with female slaves was not punished. Hebrews slaves were not to be ruled
over severely, but that rule only applied to Hebrew slaves. Hebrews did take
slaves during war.
"If they open the gates and surrender, they are all to become your slaves and
do forced labor for you - But if it does not make peace with you, and it actually
makes war with you and you have to besiege it, Yah your Eloah also will
certainly give it into your hand, and you must strike every male in it with the
edge of the sword. Only the women and the little children and the domestic
animals and everything that happens to be in the city, all its spoil you will
plunder for yourself." (Deut 20:11-14) Retrieved from the internet Sept.8, 2007
from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery_and_religion#Christianity
(Editor’s Note: The greatest shame of Christianity down through the
centuries is that they did not follow the words of Yahshuah and set all
slaves free. I hang my head in grief to think they kept the despicable
practice of slavery for nearly 2,000 years. Will it be another two thousand
before they renounce war?)
As it is written in the scroll of Isaiah: “I will cause the spirit of Wisdom to
rest upon him, the spirit of Understanding, Counsel, Strength, knowledge and
Piety and place the spirit of the fear of Yah in him”. (Is.11:2 Apostolic Bible
Septuagint.)
Yahshuah re-rolled the Scroll, handed it to the attendant (Chazan), and sat
down to explain what he just read. Every eye in the synagogue was fixed on him,
for they had all heard of what he had done in Yerushalayim. Some were very
impressed at how well he had read, and were whispering,
“Can this really be Yahshuah, the Charash, the son of Yosef, the Charash,
and Mary the brother of Yah-kov, Yosef, Shimon, and Yahudah? We know his
sisters too. Where did he get such wisdom and power in his hands.”
75
They were scandalized (suspecting it came from Azazel).
Yahshuah continued,
“the words I read, came true today as I was reading them. You will surely say
to me the old proverb “Physician, heal yourself.” In other words, some of you
have heard of my miracles, and will ask me to do some miracle here in Netzeret.
I will quote to you the old proverb that “a Prophet is not welcomed by his own
hometown, and relatives. For example, did (Eli-Yahu) Elijah’s neighbors believe
in him? No. However, a non-Jewish widow in the gentile city of Zarephath (the
modern Sarafend) in the land of Tzidon did, and she received a miracle. There
were plenty of Jewish widows during those three years and six months of famine
who also needed food and water, but none of them believed in Elijah. And what
about Elisha? No Jewish lepers believed in him, but a non-Jew named Na’ aman
came all the way from Syria and received a miracle.”
The synagogue erupted in shouting and anger. They thought he was saying
the non-Jews were better than the Jews. They grabbed Yahshuah and pulled
him a long distance to the brow of a cliff, and were ready to throw him from the
cliff, but he shook himself loose ,and boldly walked through the crowd, and no
one could lay a hand on him.
He left a few days later without doing any major exorcisms, he only laid hands
on a few sick folks and healed them.
25
4:31
Yahshuah Finds a Safe Haven in Kefer Nahum
Lk.
The next day, they left for Kefer Nahum (the village of Nahum), where he
taught safely, read, and expounded every Sabbath in the synagogue. There the
people hung on his every word for he spoke Father’s truth from his heart, and
was not dry and scholarly like most of the Sofrim (sages) who backed every
quote with quotes from other dead Rabbis. Thus, he fulfilled the prophecy:
The land of the tribe of Zabulon, The land of the tribe of Nephthali, land of
the inland sea, from which flows the Yardan River, Galil where many nations
mingle, your people which sat in darkness saw a great light; and to them, which
sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up. (Is.9:2)
“Look, a messenger is coming over the mountains with good news
(evangelizing) ! He is on his way to announce peace!” (Nahum 1:15)
26
Yahshuah Teaches Throughout the Galil Region Mrk. 1
Yahshuah went throughout the Galil region, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom.
76
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the Kingdom of
the Heavens is at hand. The time is fulfilled, the kingdom of Yah is at hand,
repent and believe the Gospel. (Mt.4: 17 & Mark 1:15)
Moreover, he was healing all manner of sicknesses and diseases among the
people. His fame spread through Syria: They brought him every sick person with
all kinds of diseases and torments, and those, which were possessed by demons
(fallen angels), and those, which were lunatics, and those that had the palsy; and
he healed every one of them. Great multitudes from the Galil, and from the
Decapolis region, and from Yerushalayim, and from Yahudah, and from beyond
the Yardan River followed him.
27
Peter’s Boat is Filled With Fish
Lk. 5
One day, he was speaking to a crowd by the Sea of Galil, the crowd pressed
forward to hear the Word of Yah (Logos Theos), they were pushing him out
deeper into the water. Peter had been out fishing and arrived in time for
Yahshuah to clamor aboard his boat, and from the deck, he finished his stories
for the day. Then he said to Peter,
“Sail out there where I am pointing and lower your nets.”
Peter began to whine, “But Master we have fished all night and caught
nothing. We’re tired, oh alright, if you say so.”
When they lowered their nets, the nets were soon jumping with fish. In fact,
there were so many fish, the nets began to break They called out to a near by
boat. “Come and help us.” Soon both boats were so full of fish that they were
nearly sinking. Seeing this, Peter fell to his knees and said,
‘Rabbi, depart me for I am a sinful man.” Astonishment fell on the crew of
both boats and Yahshuah said to him,
“Do not be frightened Peter, from now on you will be a fisher of men
(teachers).” As soon as the men reached the shore, they abandoned their fishing
business and followed Yahshuah full time.
28
An (angel) demon Identifies Yahshuah and is Told to be Silent
Lk. 4
One day when Yahshuah was teaching in the synagogue, a man with an
unclean (angel) demon came in and shouted in a loud, terrifying voice,
“Yahshuah you Netzerim, what are you doing here? I know who you are. You are
the Messiah, the holy one of Yah, the Branch of Yah. Is this the day of our
doom?”
Yahshuah commanded the (angel) demon to be silent. “Shut your lip and
leave the man”. The (angel) demon threw the man to the floor, tore the man like
a wild dog tears a rabbit, shrieked a loud death cry and withdrew. The people in
77
the synagogue were astonished. “Even the (angel) demons obey his voice,” they
said. The story spread quickly throughout the region.
29
Peter’s Mother-in-law is Healed
Mt. 8
When they left the synagogue they went to Peter’s house where they found
Peter’s mother-in-Law sick with a raging fever. Everyone asked Yahshuah to
heal her, so he went to her bedside and spoke to the fever and it left her
immediately. She felt so good; she got up and began preparing a meal for her
guests.
That night at the end of the Sabbath, after the sun set, the villagers brought
more sick people for him to heal. When he touched some of them, (angel)
demons came out of them screaming noisily and shouting,” You are the son of
Yah.” The (angel) demons knew exactly who he was, but he commanded them to
be silent, for he did not want his identity revealed yet, least of all by (angel)
demons.
As it is written in the scroll of Isaiah:
"He took away our weaknesses and removed our diseases. But we ourselves
accounted him as plagued, stricken by Yah and afflicted.” (Is.53:4)."
30
The Villagers of Kefer Nahum Beg Yahshuah to Stay
The next morning, he arose early (3:00 AM) and went to a hidden spot to
pray. When the villagers awoke, Peter and others from the village desperately
began searching for him. When they found him, they said ,”Everyone in the
village is looking for you.” They begged him to come back to Kefer Nahum and
never leave them again. He said,
The war is on, come on “I have been sent on a mission to explain the Gospel
of the Kingdom to other villages and cities as well.” And so they traveled using
Kefer Nahum as his base. He entered all the synagogues through the Galil
preaching the Gospel and casting out demons.
31
A Healed Man is Told Not to Tell Anyone, but the Priest
Mrk. 1:40
On the road, a man with a scaly skin disease approached him, him saying,
“Rabbi if you will, you can cleanse me.” Yahshuah felt compassion for him and
78
anger, he said, “I will.” Yahshuah put out his hand to hold the man back but the
man made contact, and immediately he was cleansed, and Yahshuah ordered
him away from him. Then told him not to tell anyone, but go and make the
offering prescribed by the Mosaic Law, and show himself to the priests. However,
as the healed man went on his way to the Temple, he told everyone. This made it
hard for Yahshuah to travel because immense crowds were following him
everywhere, and asking him for many favors.
Yahshuah was angry because he apparently saw that the man was
wicked and unwilling to repent, but only wanted healing. He forced himself
upon Yahshuah, violating the law to avoid contact with the clean, then he
appointed himself as an evangelist when he wasn’t sent. He told everyone
that Yahshuah touched him which would make Yahshuah a law breaker for
touching the unclean was forbidden.
A person can force himself, or herself, on Yahshuah and have a big
ministry, and even have bodily healings, but I doubt we’ll see this
disobedient man in the kingdom on Resurrection Day.
32
A Man is Lowered Through the Roof for Healing
Lk. 5:19
Once Yahshuah was in a house in Kefer Nahum, surrounded by a group of
critical Pharisees and Sadducees, they had come from Yerushalayim to trap him
in some sin, trying to prove that the healings were frauds. Nonetheless, Father’s
power was flowing through him. Outside four men had brought a paralyzed friend
on a cot, but there were so many people, they could not get near the door.
Finally, they hoisted the man to the roof, opened the thatching, and lowered him
down into the room where Yahshuah was sitting. Impressed by the man’s faith,
and the faith of his friends, he said to the man, who was paralyzed,
“My friend, your sins are forgiven.”
The Pharisees (Jews) and Sadducees (Edomites) were indignant and began
whispering among themselves that such a statement was blasphemy. “Who does
he think he is? Only Adonai can forgive sins.”
Yahshuah could read their minds and said, “You have come here with wicked
hearts. Why is this blasphemy? Which would be harder to say, “your sins or
forgiven, or to say, “Stand up, pick up your cot, and walk home?” Now I will prove
to you that the Messiah, a mortal man, has the power to forgive sins by healing
this man.” He then said to the paralyzed man, “Stand up, pick up your cot, and
walk home.”
Immediately the man jumped to his feet, lifted his bed, and walked through
the crowd praising the Father. A feeling of ecstasy seized everyone, including the
critical Pharisees and Sadducees who kept praising the father, and saying,
“Nothing like this has ever been seen before.”
79
33
Yahshuah Calls Levi Mattityahu the Son of Alphaeus
Lk. 5:27
Later, when Yahshuah was walking down to the sea, he saw a tax collector in
a booth. It was Levi (Mattityahu), Bar Alphaeus, Yahshuah said to him, “Come
and be my disciple, and follow me.” Mattityahu left everything and took Yahshuah
to his house.
34
The Party at Mattityahu’s House
Lk. 5:29
That night, Mattityahu had a dinner for Yahshuah, and many tax collectors
and sinners came.
The tax-collectors were seen as idolaters because they handled Roman
coins with the images of Augustus who was a god. So the coins were
idols.
Some Pharisees and Sadducees stood outside complaining saying, “If he was
a prophet, he would not eat with idolatrous tax collectors and sinners.”
“These are a smoke in my nose, a fire burning all day long.” Is.65:5
Just then, Yahshuah came out to them and said, “People who are sick need
kind, loving doctors, not doctors who condemn and rebuke them. I have not
come to heal those who think they are righteous, but I have come to help sinners
walk the path of healing, the path to Father’s Kingdom.”
It is written in the prophets: “I want mercy, and not sacrifice”. For I did not
come to call, the righteous people (Tzaddikim), but sinners. Go, then, and learn
what “mercy and not sacrifice” means. Mat 9:13
Jer. 7:22-23 For in the day that I brought your ancestors out of the land of
Egypt, I did not speak to them or command them concerning burnt offerings and
sacrifices.
Prov 21:3 To do righteousness and judgment, is chosen of Yah rather than
sacrifice.
Ho.6:6 For I in loving-kindness I have taken delight, and not in sacrifice; but
in the knowledge of Yah rather than in whole burnt offerings.
Ecclesiaticus 35:4 and he that does mercy, offers sacrifice. To depart from
iniquity is that which pleases Yah, and to depart from injustice, is an entreaty
for sins.
The ox knows its owner,
and the donkey its master’s crib;
but Israel does not know,
my people do not understand.
4 Ah, sinful nation,
80
people laden with iniquity,
offspring who do evil,
children who deal corruptly,
who have forsaken Yah,
who have despised the Holy One of Israel,
who are utterly estranged!
5 Why do you seek further beatings?
Why do you continue to rebel?
The whole head is sick,
and the whole heart faint.
6 From the sole of the foot even to the head,
there is no soundness in it,
but bruises and sores
and bleeding wounds;
they have not been drained, or bound up,
or softened with oil.
7 Your country lies desolate,
your cities are burned with fire;
in your very presence
aliens (Romans) devour your land;
it is desolate, as overthrown by foreigners.
8 And daughter Zion is left
like a booth in a vineyard,
like a shelter in a cucumber field,
like a besieged city.
9 If the Eloah of (angel) hosts
had not left us a few survivors,
we would have been like Sodom,
and become like Gomorrah.
10 Hear the word of Yah
the Eloah of the Tsebaoth,
you rulers of Sodom! (Zion)
Listen to the teaching of our Eloah,
you people of Gomorrah! (Jerusalem)
11 What to me is the multitude
of your sacrifices? says Yah;
I have had enough of burnt-offerings of rams
and the fat of fed beasts;
I do not delight in the blood of bulls,
or of lambs, or of goats.
12 When you come to appear before me,
who asked this from your hand?
Trample my courts no more;
81
bringing offerings is futile;
incense is an abomination to me.
New moons and sabbaths and calling of convocations—
I cannot endure solemn assemblies with iniquity.
14 Your new moons and your appointed festivals
my soul hates;
they have become a burden to me,
I am weary of bearing them.
15 When you stretch out your hands,
I will hide my eyes from you;
even though you make many prayers,
I will not listen;
your hands are full of blood.
16 Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;
remove the evil of your doings
from before my eyes;
cease to do evil,
17 learn to do good;
seek justice,
rescue the oppressed,
defend the orphan,
plead for the widow. (Is 1:3-17)
13
“I hate, I despise your festivals, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies.
Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not
accept them; and the offerings of well-being of your fatted animals I will not
look upon. Take away from me the noise of your songs; I will not listen to the
melody of your harps. But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness
like an ever-flowing stream. (Amos 5:21-24)
“With what shall I come before Yah, and bow myself before Yah on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Will Yah be
pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give
my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?"
He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what Yah require of you but to do
justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? (Micah 6:1-4,
6-8)
Whoever slaughters an ox is like one who kills a human being;
whoever sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
whoever presents a grain-offering, like one who offers swine’s blood;
whoever makes a memorial offering of frankincense, is like one who blesses
an idol. Is 66:3
82
Sacrificing lamb (goats) , the ox, the dog, the swine and human beings,
was all part of the Goddess cult; the lamb (Osiris), the Dog (the penisless priests of the goddess), the pig (Cybele) and human beings
(especially virgins were the main sacrifices).
The followers of Osiris ate him in a Eucharistic meal:
“ it was literally believed to be the body (bread) and blood (ale) of the
god. Since the ancient Nilotics believed that humans were whatever
they eat, this sacrament was, by extension, able to make them celestial
and immortal. The doctrine of the Eucharist ultimately has its roots in
prehistoric (symbolic) cannibalism, whose practitioners believed that
the virtues and powers of the eaten would thus be absorbed by the
eater. This phenomenon has been described throughout the world.”
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osiris
Isaiah uses the Hebrew word Sesay which could be a goat or a sheep,
so this may be a reference to the Goat god, the shepherd god, or horned
god, Baphomet, Satan, Tammuz. In all accounts Isaiah is rebuking Israel
for offering sacrifices when Yah did not require, or want them. The
Israelis had mixed the Bull cult with the Yahweh Cult and Isaiah
declares it an abomination.
Some of John, the Baptizer’s, followers were there and they said, “We believe
that fasting is necessary for a spiritual life, but you and your disciples seem to be
always feasting. What kind of spirituality is that?
Yahshuah asked them, “Do guests fast at a wedding? No, especially not
when the bridegroom arrives. I am on this earth like a bridegroom.
Note that believers are not the bride they are the wedding guests.
Wisdom is Yahshuah’s symbolic bride
(Editor’s note: remember wisdom is a spirit and spirits have no gender, so it
is a poetic way of speaking to call wisdom a lady and a bride. Poetry is not to
be confused with reality.)
He who is practiced in the Torah will come to wisdom. (She) (it)… will meet
him, like a young bride she will embrace him, Nourish him with the bread of
understanding, and give him the water of learning to drink. (Sirach 15: 1)
I loved her (it) and sought after her from my youth; I sought to take her for
my bride and was enamored of her beauty. She adds to nobility the splendor of
companionship with Yah; even the Eloah of all loved her. For she is instructress
in the understanding of God. (Wisdom 8:2)
83
For to men she is an unfailing treasure; those who gain this treasure win the
friendship of God… And passing into holy souls from age to age, she produces
friends of God and prophets… For there is nought God loves, be it not one who
dwells with Wisdom… For she is fairer than the sun and surpasses every
constellation of the stars. Compared to light, she takes precedence; for that,
indeed, night supplants, but wickedness prevails not over Wisdom”. (Wisdom
7:14 )
On the first day of the Shavuot Festival some Jewish congregations
celebrate a Ketubah le-Shavuot (marriage certificate for Shavuot). It is a
symbolical wedding contract between the Torah--the bride--and the people
of Israel, the bridegroom. In these versions, God as the bride's father gives
as dowry, the 613 commandments, the Scriptures, Talmud, and other
sacred writings. Moses presents as dowry to his son--the people of Israel-the prayer shawl and phylacteries, the Sabbath and festivals. The contracts
are witnessed by God and His servant Moses. (Retreived from
http://www.myjewishlearning.com/holidays/Shavuot/TO_Shavuot_Commun
ity/Hymns_424/Ketubah_868.htm November 5,2007.
On the last day of the festival they celebrate Simhat Torah. A wealthy
prominent, Torah scholar is chosen ( in some area he buys) the role of the
Bridegroom of the Torah (Hatan or Chatan Torah). He wears a silver crown
and is called a king, the Torah is his queen. He is greeted by people rolling
out banners and fringes, singing and dancing before him as he proceeds
to the front of the congregation to read the last 8 line of the last book by
Moses. He then offers money to the synagogue, and hosts a feast for all,
and the children are given gifts of fruit. The children then take down the
booths and burn the branches.
God’s Wife?
(Editor’s note: both Jews and Christians teach some kind of marriage
between Yah, or Yahshuah and their followers as a bride. Yahshuah
dispelled this false teaching by giving three parables about weddings. In
two of the parables Yah’s people are invited guests, and in the third they
are servants waiting at home for the Master to return from the wedding, in
none of parables are they the bride.
Yahshuah said: “When the bridegroom is ripped away, then the wedding
guests will fast. “
We are not the bride we are the wedding guests. Yahshuah is the tragic
bridegroom, John, the Baptizer, is the Best man, Wisdom (the full Torah as
revealed by Yahshuah) is the bride. Since Yahshuah calls his followers his
brothers and sisters there is no way for him to marry us. It’s even more
obtuse in the Hebrew scriptures where Yah calls his people his son.
84
“When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.”
Hos 11:1
There’s no way Yah, of the Old Testament, could be the husband of
Israel since Israel is his son.
35
The New Cannot Mix with the Old
Lk. 5:33
Yahshuah said,
“You can’t take a new coat and tear a piece from it to patch up and old coat?
No, for that would ruin the new coat and the patch will not match the old coat and
it will soon rip open again. Just as you can’t put fresh grape juice into old, dried
up wineskins, for as soon as the juice begins to ferment and expand, the old
wineskins will violently rip open and the new wine will leak out. You need new
wineskins for new juice. The new goes with the new.
The New order of heaven coming in will cause a violent reaction from
the old order of the earth. Yahshuah’s teaching marks the end of all
religions, exposes all hierarchies as Satanic, exposes the world as a pig
sty, breaks all worldly dreams, disarms all armies, under minds all
governments. The Old will try to kill the new but the darkness cannot put
out the light.
(The Pharisees and Sadducees are slaves of the old way. They say, just like
old wine, the old traditions of our old elders are better; nothing can convince
them otherwise. Father is offering a New Covenant and a new way of entering
zoe (eternal) life, but theywill reject it, insisting that the Old Covenant and old way
of life is better. In the new, Yah relates to people not as a stern judge to the
guilty, but as a loving father to his children. He doesn’t want the old rituals and
sacrifices, he wants mercy and tender hearts full of love and peace. Hearts
fastened on him and not the world.)
On seeing the crowds, Yahshuah was moved with compassion for them,
because they were like sheared sheep having no shepherd and buffeted this way
and that. Mat 9:36
And they were gradually scattered, because of there being no shepherd, so
that they became food for all the wild beasts of the field, and they continued to
be scattered. (Ezk.34:5)
36 Yahshuah Heals a Man at the Beth-zatha Pool on a Sabbath
Jn. 9
Yahshuah and his disciples attended the next feast in Yerushalayim. As they
were passing the Mercy pool (Beth-zatha) with its five shelters for the infirm, they
saw many sick people. According to an old superstition, every so often, an angel
would roil the waters and the first person in the pool received healing. Yahshuah
85
saw a man lying at the edge of the pool on a mat. Someone had carried him to
the pool every day for thirty-eight years. Yahshuah felt compassion for him and
asked him, “Do you wish to be healed?”
“Adoni,” said the man, “I have no one to help me into the pool. Every time the
water stirs, someone always gets into the pool before me.”
Yahshuah said to him, “Stand up, pick up your mat and walk.”
Immediately the healing took place. He picked up his mat and began to walk.
It was a Sabbath, and when some rogues saw him carrying his mat, they said. “It
is unlawful for you to carry your mat on Sabbath.”
He said, “The man who healed me told me to pick up my mat and walk.”
“Which man was that?” they asked.
The healed man looked around, but there were so many people that he could
not see Yahshuah.
A little while later, Yahshuah found him and said,
“Look at you, you are completely well now. Go now and sin no more or
something worse might happen to you.”
My son, if you have sinned, do so no more, and for your past sins pray to be
forgiven. Flee from sin as from a serpent. that will bite you if you go near it; Its
teeth are lion's teeth, destroying the souls of men. (Sirach 21: 1)
(However, the man did not avoid sin)
(Are you trapped and repeating sin? Keep on repenting day after day,
year after year. Father will forgive you seventy times seven).
37
Yahshuah Says Yah Works on the Sabbath
Jn. 5
The healed man went and found the rogues who were angry with him, and
said it was Yahshuah who had cured him. These rogues were furious because
he had healed a man on the Sabbath and began searching for him itching for a
chance to stone a lawbreaker. When they found him, they accused him of
breaking the Sabbath Law.
He replied, Yah, my father, and your Eloah, works on Sabbath, (babies are
born, old people die, the rains fall and the fields grow). If he works, then I too
may work. (John 5: 17)
Now they really thought they had all they needed to kill him, for not only had
he broken the Sabbath Law, but also referred to Adonai as “My father.” They
falsely reasoned that he was making himself equal to Yah.
Then Yahshuah said, “As Yah’s son, I can only do what I see my father doing.
Father loves me, and is revealing to me all the miraculous things he is doing
every day. You saw the healing of the man by the Mercy Pool, but you will see
even greater miracles, for Father can raise the dead and has given me that
86
power also. On the Resurrection Day, I will sit on a throne and separate the just
from the unjust. In addition, every knee will bend to me just as they do to Father.
Whoever refuses to bow to me will be dishonoring Father as well. Are you
listening? Whoever hears, and obeys my words, can gain immortality, and
escape the vengeance of the Judgment Day. Are you listening?
38
Yahshuah Says He Can Give Immortality
Jn. 5:21
Right now, you are dead in sin hearing the voice of the Father’s son. If you
respond, I will give you new life. Yah, your Eloah, my father, is the source of all
life and he has authorized me to give it to others. He has chosen me to sit on the
judgment seat on the Resurrection Day, for I, this mortal, a real human being, am
the Messiah. Do not act dumbfounded, soon all those in their graves will hear my
voice calling them to awake on the Resurrection Day. Those who have walked
the path of righteousness will awake to immortality, and those who walked the
path of evil will arise to damnation. This is not my plan, but Father’s plan. I am
carrying it out according to his will for he has commissioned me to do so.
Do not take my word for it. No one can witness to his own righteousness.
Nevertheless, I have three reliable witnesses. The first is John, the Baptizer. He
declared that I was the Messiah, and you all know he never lied. It is not that I
actually need a human witness. I am only telling you about John, the Baptizer so
that you will believe and be saved. You all agree that he was a burning menorah
of shining light for the short time that he was here. You all rejoiced in his light.
My second witness is my work. The miracles I have done are reliable
witnesses that should convince you that I am the Messiah.
Moreover, Father is my third witness. All the words he spoke through the
Prophets point right to me.
Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. And ye have
not his logos abiding in you.” (John 5:37-38)
I can see his (Logos) words have found no home in your hearts. You have
never listened for his voice, or tried to hear him in the scriptures. Oh, you make a
big show of studying the scriptures, just like your ancestors did, but you, just like
your ancestors, reject every one of his messengers. For if you truly had studied
the scriptures you would see they point right to me. You think you will find the
path to immortality in the scriptures, but you will not. They tell you that I am the
path. You must come through me to gain immortality. Nevertheless, you refuse to
come to me. I can read your minds. You think I am doing this to promote myself,
and gain a reputation as an important Rabbi. You have these misguided thoughts
because in your hearts, there is no love for Father. (You love the world and
believe everyone operates for his or her own good, just like you).
You will blindly follow any charlatan who comes promoting himself,
Sirach 7:22 It is not proper to honor any sinner.
87
But because I am true and actually worthy of Father’s name, you reject me.
You are so earthly-minded, that you weigh everything in terms of human
rewards, and the praises of men. That is why you cannot believe an honest man
when he stands right in front of you. You keep thinking I have a scheme, or an
angle like all the rest, and I am in it for what I can get out of it. As long as you are
seeking the approval of men, you will not gain Father’s approval.
Father did not send me to condemn, or accuse you. On the Resurrection Day,
you Jews and Edomites will have Moses as your accuser, because you claim to
follow him. However if you really loved Moses, you would welcome me, for I am
the Prophet he predicted would come. Moses said,
Yah, our Eloah will raise up from among your tribes one like me, and you
must obey him.
Well I am that prophet and if you ignore the words of Moses, he will condemn
you. He wrote about me. If you do not believe the writings of Moses about me,
then you will not believe me either.
Alas you do not believe the words of Moses, or the words of Yah.
“You do not have his word [ton logon] abiding in you, because you do not
believe him whom he has sent.” (John 5:38)
You waste your lives scheming how to honor each other and be honored by
others in return, but care nothing for the only honor that matters, the one that
comes from the one and only Eloah -Yah (doxa ho para Theos monos here is
where Yahshuah teaches monotheism. The father, his God, is the only God
–Ha Echad).
When Yahshuah finished speaking, he left the Temple untouched.
39 The Disciples Pluck Wheat on a Sabbath and Yahshuah Approves Mrk.2:23
When Yahshuah, and his disciples, walked to the synagogue one morning,
they were passing through a wheat field. The disciples had not eaten breakfast.
They were hungry. As they were plowing a path for Yahshuah, they began
plucking grain heads and eating them.
Moses wrote: In case you go into the standing grain of your fellowman, then
you must pluck off only the ripe ears with your hand; but you must not swing a
sickle in your fellowman's standing grain. De.23:25
Some nit-picking, rogue Pharisees saw them and stopped them, accusing
them of breaking the Sabbath law against harvesting.
Yahshuah replied, “When people must feed themselves, they may work on a
Sabbath. This is a new teaching from me the Messiah who is the Adoni (ruler) of
the Sabbath. And it is lawful to do good deeds on a Sabbath.
88
You must not see the donkey of your brother or his of his bull fall down on
the road and deliberately withdraw from them. You should by all means help
him raise them up. De.22:4
The Sabbath was made to help humans.
(The Sabbath is a compassionate gift to humans to allow them a day of
rest from their incessant toils. It is not a day of oppressive restrictions, nor
is it a day to seek entertainment. It is a day to seek, friendship, sharing the
Gospel of the Kingdom, and doing Father’s work of visiting the sick, the
prisoners, the broken hearted, widows and orphans. It is a day set aside to
study the scriptures and seek wisdom).
“whoever is free from toil can become a wise man. How can he become
learned who guides the plow, who thrills in wielding the goad like a
lance, Who guides the ox and urges on the bullock, and whose every
concern is for cattle. His care is for plowing furrows, and he keeps a
watch on the beasts in the stalls.” ( Sirach 38:24)
The desire for Wisdom leads up to a kingdom… honor Wisdom, that you may
reign as kings forever. ( Wisdom 6:20)
Humans were not made to help preserve Sabbath laws. Have you never read
what David did when he and his men were fugitives and were hungry one
Sabbath? David went into the tabernacle at Nob where Abiathar’s father,
Ahimelech, was the High Priest. David went right into the holy place where only
priests are allowed to go, and took the loaves of showbread, which only priests
are allowed to eat, and gave the loaves to his men. You hypocrites, you find no
fault with David’s actions, but you pounce on my disciples for eating a few grains
of wheat.
And besides, even the Law of Moses, permits some men to work on Sabbath.
Priests do their work in the Temple and perform sacrifices and ceremonies.
Before you stands one who is greater than the Temple. If you knew the meaning
of these words “I desire mercy and not sacrifice” you would not be so quick to
condemn others for little things (this infuriated the rogues, for they had no
compassion and believed holiness meant keeping Laws).
40
The Healing of the Man with the Withered Hand
Mt. 12:9
When they arrived at the synagogue, there was a man there with a withered
hand. The faultfinding Pharisees had followed them and were watching him
closely, hoping he would heal the man, so they could stone him for working on
the Sabbath. Yahshuah knew their thoughts and called the man with the withered
hand to the front. He asked, “Is it Lawful to heal a man on Sabbath? Can we do
well, or harm? Can we heal or destroy on Sabbath?”
He looked at each man in the synagogue, but no one said a word. He was
grieved at the hardness of their hearts. He said, “Every one of you will lift your
89
sheep out of a pit if he stumbles into one on a Sabbath. Is not this man more
valuable than a sheep? It is therefore Lawful to do good on Sabbath.”
He then said to the man with the withered hand, “Come to the middle of the
room. Stretch out your hand.”
The man obeyed, and his hand was restored to perfect health. The lawyers
(Scribes -Mosaic Law Experts), and the Pharisees, were livid with rage. They
went outside and began conspiring with their enemies, the Herodians (Edomites),
to kill Yahshuah. Yahshuah made the Sabbath holy, but by their plotting they
are desecrating it.
Knowing their intentions, Yahshuah left by the back door and went down to
the sea. A large crowd found him, and he healed everyone that was sick. He had
his disciples bring a ship near because so many people were pressing forward to
touch him. He healed many people of plagues and strokes and when (angel)
demons came out of people, the (angel) demons fell on their faces before him
and said, “Truly you are the son of Yah.” He ordered them to be silent and not
reveal his identity. Thus he fulfilled that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet,
saying,
"Take a good look at my servant. I'm backing him to the hilt. He's the one I
chose, and I couldn't be more pleased with him. I've bathed him with my
Spirit (angel), my life. He'll set everything right among the nations. He
won't call attention to what he does with loud speeches or gaudy parades.
He won't brush aside the bruised and the hurt and he won't disregard the
small and insignificant, but he'll steadily and firmly set things right. He
won't tire out and quit. He won't be stopped until he's finished his work--to
set things right on earth. Far-flung ocean islands wait expectantly for his
teaching." ( Isa 42:1 -Peterson)
41
Yahshuah Chooses the Twelve Apostles
Mt. 10
Many nights Yahshuah went alone into the mountains to pray. He would pray
all night. One morning when he returned to the village, he gathered all his
disciples and chose twelve to be Apostles (special viceroys). He chose Shimon
(Peter), Peter’s brother Andres, and Yah-kov (James) and Philippos, and
Mattityahu (Levi the ex-tax collector) and Toma, Yah-kov the son of Chafee, and
Shimon from Kanah ,who was an ex-member of the Zealot (dagger) party,
Yahudah the son of Yah-kov, Yahchanan (John), and Judas (Yahudah) Ben
Shimon the Moabite from Keriot, who would betray him. (Judas was a
descendant of Lot via drunken incest with one of his daughters) Yahshuah
ordained the twelve Apostles so he could send them forth to preach the Gospel
of the Kingdom, and he gave them power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out
(angel) demons.
The Zealots
90
The Zealots were a militant sect of super patriots who believed once
they started a full-fledged war against the Romans, Yah would rush to their
aid. It has been suggested that Judas of Kerioth was a secret zealot and by
turning Yahshuah over to the chief priests (Gamaliel and Shammai) , he
believed it would be the spark to set off the war. The Zealots and Dagger
Men (Sicarri) raided Jewish settlements and killed many Jews who were
seen as Roman collaborators. They drove the Romans out of Jerusalem in
66 AD.
“By the year 68, Jewish resistance in the North had been crushed. The
leaders of the collapsed Northern revolt, John of Giscala and Simon Bar
Giora, managed to escape to Jerusalem. Brutal civil war erupted: the
Zealots and Sicarii executed anyone advocating surrender, and by 68 the
entire leadership of the southern revolt was dead, all killed by the Jews,
none by the Romans.
During the infighting inside the city walls, a stockpiled supply of dry
food was intentionally burned by Jewish leaders to induce the defenders to
fight against the siege instead of negotiating peace; as a result many city
dwellers and soldiers died of starvation during the siege.
The Roman armies established a permanent camp just outside the city,
digging a trench around the circumference of its walls and building a wall
as high as the city walls themselves around Jerusalem. Anyone caught in
the trench attempting to flee the city would be captured, crucified, and
placed in lines on top of the dirt wall facing into Jerusalem. The two Zealot
leaders, John of Gischala and Simon bar Giora only ceased hostilities and
joined forces to defend the city when the Romans began to construct
ramparts for the siege. Tens of thousands of crucified bodies encircled
Jerusalem by the end of the siege. Josephus claims that 1,100,000 people
were killed during the siege, of which a majority were Jewish. 97,000 were
captured and enslaved.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Jewish-Roman_War
About a thousand Jews escaped and fled to Masada where they
captured a Roman fortress and left no survivors. The held out at Masada
for three years and as the Romans burned the walls, and stormed the city,
they committed mass suicide.
42
The Apostle John (Yahchanan ) Wrote:
Jn.
1
en arche en o logos, kai o logos en pros ton Theon kai Theos en o logos.
In the beginning was the word and the word was with THE God and A god was the word.
(Editor’s note: John’s obscure sentence can be translated two ways,
91
a. “In the beginning was the logos and the logos was with God and the
logos was God,” or
b. “In the beginning was the logos and the logos was with “the” God,
and “a” god was the logos.” (Benjamin F. Wilson’s 1864 Emphatic
Diaglott New Testament based on the Lenigrad Codex, the oldest entire
text.)
I believe the second way is correct and is copasetic with the rest of
scripture that teaches that Yah is only one person. As I said in the
Introduction, Greek and English are not suitable languages for carrying the
message perfectly. In Greek there are no indefinite articles “a” and “an”
so translators are free to put them where they please. There are however,
definite articles like “ton” and it is beyond unethical, to put them in where
they don’t exist and omit them where they do. It’s the little foxes that spoil
the vineyard and to add to or take away even the tiniest words from the
writings is to distort the truth. One article, as you can see above, changes
the entire meaning of a sentence. In one case the Logos is God and in the
other the Logos is a god with God. God has no partners, nor persons, nor
companions, so I believe Wilson’s translation is correct.
As I also said in the Introduction we must ask how would this be said in
Hebrew?
In the beginning was the Memra and the Memra was beside) Yah and an
elohim was the Memra.
Using Hebrew it would sound like this:
Bereshis (in the Beginning) was the Dvar and the Dvar was agav (along
with) Eloah, and the Dvar was an Elohim
We know that Yah is the father of many elohim (myriads of them), so
which elohim is John thinking of? looking at the Hebrew word Memra
(Ma’amar) will help us understand which elohim was beside Yah in the
beginning.
"With you [Yah] is wisdom, she (it) knows your works, and was present
when you made the world.” (Wis. of Sol. 9:9)
"Before the ages, in the beginning, he created me [wisdom]" (Sir. 24:9)
“Wisdom hath been created before all things.” (Sir.1:4 Septuagint.)
Wisdom said: I came out of the mouth of the most High, the firstborn before
all creatures: Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 24:5
Wisdom said: Yah created me as the first of his creations, before all of his
works. I was established from everlasting, from the beginning, before he made
the earth. When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no
fountains abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, before the
hills were formed was I conceived; While as yet he had not made the earth nor
92
the valleys nor the best soil of the world. When he established the heavens, I
was there; when he set a circle upon the face of the deep; When he made firm the
clouds above; when he strengthened the fountains of the deep; When he gave to
the sea its bounds, that the waters should not transgress his commandment;
when he laid down the foundations of the earth: I together with him was
establishing them; Prov 8: 22 (then I was beside him, like a master worker,
(craftsman, architect) ( RSV)
and daily I was his delight, rejoicing always before him, Rejoicing in his
habitable earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. (Peshitta –Lamsa
version Prov 8:31)
(Editor’s note: Wisdom was the Memra, the elohim John calls the Logos.
Since Yah is a spirit and has no body, he has no gender and thus Wisdom
has no gender. In poetry Wisdom is sometimes called a Lady, or a
daughter, or a she, but to understand what John is saying we must lay
aside poetry. Here’s what the Jewish encyclopedia says about Memra
(Ma’amar).
Memra
"The Word," in the sense of the creative or directive word or speech of God
manifesting His power in the world of matter or mind... "By the word of Yah
were the heavens made" (Ps. xxxiii. 6; comp. "For He spake, and it was done";
"He sendeth his word, and melteth them [the ice]"; "Fire and hail; snow, and
vapors; stormy wind fulfilling his word"; Ps. xxxiii. 9, cxlvii. 18, cxlviii. 8). In
this sense it is said, "For ever, O Yah, thy word is settled in heaven" (Ps. cxix.
89). "The Word," heard and announced by the prophet, often became, in the
conception of the seer, an efficacious power apart from God, as was the angel
or messenger of God: "Yah sent a word into Yah-kov, and it hath lighted upon
Israel" (Isa. ix. 7 [A. V. 8], lv. 11); "He sent his word, and healed them" (Ps. cvii.
20); and comp. "his word runneth very swiftly" (Ps. cxlvii. 15)… in the Book of
Jubilees, xii. 22, the word of God is sent through the angel to Abraham, in
other cases it becomes more and more a personified agency: "By the word of
God exist His works" (Ecclus. [Sirach] xlii. 15); "The Holy One, blessed be He,
created the world by the 'Ma'amar'" (Mek., Beshallaḥ , 10, with reference to Ps.
xxxiii. 6)… "Thou who hast made the universe with Thy word and ordained
man through Thy wisdom to rule over the creatures made by You" (Wisdom ix.
1; comp. "Who by Thy words causest the evenings to bring darkness, who
openest the gates of the sky by Thy wisdom"… In the Targum the Memra
figures constantly as the manifestation of the divine power, or as God's
messenger in place of God Himself… Like the Shekinah (comp. Targ. Num.
xxiii. 21), the Memra is accordingly the manifestation of God. "The Memra
93
brings Israel nigh unto God and sits on His throne receiving the prayers of
Israel" (Targ. Yer. to Deut. iv. 7). It shielded Noah from the flood (Targ. Yer. to
Gen. vii. 16) and brought about the dispersion of the seventy nations (l.c. xi. 8);
it is the guardian of Jacob (Gen. xxviii. 20-21, xxxv. 3) and of Israel (Targ. Yer.
to Ex. xii. 23, 29); it works all the wonders in Egypt (l.c. xiii. 8, xiv. 25); hardens
the heart of Pharaoh (l.c. xiii. 15); goes before Israel in the wilderness (Targ.
Yer. to Ex. xx. 1); blesses Israel (Targ. Yer. to Num. xxiii. 8); battles for the
people (Targ. Josh. iii. 7, x. 14, xxiii. 3). As in ruling over the destiny of man the
Memra is the agent of God (Targ. Yer. to Num. xxvii. 16).”

Philo, a Jewish contemporary of Yahshuah writing in Egypt said the Greek
Logos was:
“ the archangel with many names -taxiarch” the expiator of sins, and the
mediator and advocate for men. He said the Logos is a kind of shadow cast by
God, having the outlines but not the blinding light of the Divine Being. The
Logos as "interpreter" announces God's designs to man.” (Taken from the
Jewish Encyclopedia).
So we now know these things about the Memra
1. It is an Angel (the angels were called elohim (gods)
2. It is the angel of Wisdom
3. It is called “The Word of Yah” as it announced God’s designs to
humans.
4. It was the first angel created and was Yah’s architect and craftsman in
creating the earth.
By the word (Memra ) of Yah were the heavens made; and all the stars of them
by the breath of His mouth. Psa 33:6
For he spoke and it comes into being. He gave the command and it stood firm.
From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 33:9
Eloah of my fathers, Eloah of mercy, you who have made all things by your
Memra word. Wisdom 9:1
The Memra came to Solomon 1 Kings 6:11 and spoke.
The Memra came to Jehu 1 Kings 16:1 and spoke.
The Memra came to Elijah 1 Kings 17:2 and told him to hide at the
Cherith brook, later it sent him to Zarrphath, then to Ahab. The memra
found him hiding in a cave as asked “What are you doing here Elijah?” The
second time the Memra come to the cave he is called an Angel:
And the angel of the LORD came again the second time, and touched him,
and said, Arise and eat; because the journey is too great for you. (1Kings 19:7)
94
Before we see what else John reveals. I want to state that I believe both
the old and new Testaments teach that only the Father is God.
“Hear O Israel, Yah, our Eloah, Yah is one.” (Deut 6:4)
“But for us there is only one God , the father.” (1 Cor 8:6)
(I pray) “that the God of our Rabbi Yahshuah, the Messiah, the Father
of Glory may give unto you the Spirit of Wisdom.” (Eph 1:17)
Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God (Monos
Theos), be honour and glory forever and ever. Amen. (1 Tim 1:17)
This is where the word Monotheism comes from. Monos means Alone
(Without Companion (Strong’s Concordance #G3441). It appears again
in Rom 16:27 clumbsily translated,
To God only wise (Theos Monos Sophos,) be glory through Jesus the
Christ.” And in Jude 1:25
“to the only God ( Monos Theos) our savior through Jesus the Christ our
Rabbi, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and
now and forever. Amen.”
I further believe that Yahshuah was not the logos but that the logos
lived in him as the shokeyn (Shekinah) that once lived in the temple. When
Yahshuah spoke, the logos spoke through him. He said,
“the words I speak are not my own.” (John 14:10)
He preached the logos and in the parable of the sower he said the
seeds the sower sows is the logos. (Luke 8:5-11)
Yahshuah said:
“If a man keeps my logos, he shall never see death.” (John 8:51)
“You do not have his word [ton logon] abiding in you, because you do not
believe him whom he has sent.” (John 5:38)

and an elohim was the angel.
The Wisdom Angel was there in the beginning with Father. It was through
the agency of the Wisdom Angel that everything else came into being. Without
the Wisdom Angel not one single thing came into being. It (the Wisdom
Angel) was the mediator of life and that life gave light to humans. See how it
continues to shine and the darkness has no power over it.
“Against wisdom wickedness does not prevail.” (Wisdom of Solomon 7:30
Septuagint.)
Through the Wisdom Angel, Father enlightened a man named John ben
Z’kharYah and sent him to teach about the light. John was not the source of
the light, but a mediator of the light. He taught that Father was the source of
the light and encouraged all to believe, and turn to Father who gives life and
light to everyone born into the world. Through the agency of the Wisdom
Angel, Father was in the world, the world was made by him, yet the world was
ignorant of him. He came to his chosen people, the Hebrews, century after
century, but most of them did not believe in him.
Wisdom went forth to dwell among the sons of men, but (it) obtained not a
habitation. Enoch 42:2
However a remnant did believe in him, and to as many as received him,
and honored his name in their hearts, he gave them the right to become his
children; not children born of flesh and blood parents, but children “spiritborn,” “fathered from above” by Father who is the father of all Spirits.
Father’s name is “Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth ”. His name is holy.
Yahshuah taught his name and healed in his name. Yah put his name in the
Wisdom Angel. Father does not want his name hidden, but published to the
whole world. His name is “Yah”
Psa 68:4 Sing unto Yah, sing praises to his name: extol him that rides upon
the heavens by his name Yah, and rejoice before him.
Exo 3:15 And Yah said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the
children of Israel, Yah, the Eloah of your fathers, the Eloah of Abraham, the
Eloah of Yitzak , and the Eloah of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name
for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.
Psa 135:13 Thy name, O Yah, endures for ever; and thy memorial, O Yah,
throughout all generations.
Some insist that you must call God Yahweh, others say Yahve, others
Yahu, others Yahuweh, other Yahovah, some Jehovah, some Jah. There is
96
no J sound in Hebrew so we can eliminate the last two. What all these have
in common is they all contain his name Yah. Hallelu-Yah his name has not
been lost. Knowing his name is important. Yahshuah said:
“I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the
world”. ( Joh 17:6)
“While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name.” ( Joh 17:12)
“And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love
wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. (Joh 17:26)
Do you want to feel Father’s love? Call him by his name. Moses said:
“I will publish the name of Yah: ascribe ye greatness unto our Eloah”. (Deu
32:3)
In the Psalms it is written:
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set
him on high, because he hath known my name. (Psa 91:14)
Through you will we push down our enemies: through thy name ( Psa 44:5)
Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those
that love thy name. (Psa 119:132)
I am Yah: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither
my praise to graven images. (Isa 42:8 )
Therefore my people shall know my name. (Isa 52:6)
Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to
know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is Yah. ( Jer
16:21 )
The LORD'S voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy
name. ( Mic 6:9)
As wisdom grew to perfection in Yahshuah, we saw the Wisdom Angel
take up residence in him. The Logos was realized in a human person and
dwelt among us. We saw Father‘s full Shokeyn Glory glowing in him, and we
knew that he was the uniquely-birthed first one, the “chosen one”.
John bore witness to Yahshuah and cried saying, “This is he that came after
I was born, but is ahead of me in Yah’s eyes for he is the “Chosen One”. And
through his in-filling, we will all receive grace (the full Torah) to complete
the partial grace (the first Torah). For the first touch of Torah was given by
Moses, but the clear and final touch, the full message comes through
Yahshuah the Messiah.
No human has ever seen Yah only his uniquely-birthed human elohim,
(his representative) Yahshuah, has seen him and was held in his embrace.
Yahshuah has revealed Yah to us. No one else has ascended to heaven or come
97
down from heaven except the Mortal, Yahshuah, who once went there. (John
1:18)
Yahshuah was not the Angel of Yah, but a man, and as the Messiah, he is
superior to any angel.
For Yah never said to any of his angels, "You are my Son; today I have become
your Father." Nor did Yah say about any angel, "I will be his Father, and he will
be my Son." Hebrews 1:5 (GNB)
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I
make thine enemies thy footstool? Heb. 1:13 (KJV)
(Editors clarification: Although the Angel of Wisdom appeared often
throughout the Old Testament, at no time did it allow anyone to worship or
make sacrifices to itself, it always pointed people to the Father, and never
even revealed its own name.
And the angel of Yah said unto Manoah: 'Though thou detain me, I will not
eat of thy bread; and if thou wilt make ready a burnt-offering, thou must offer it
unto Yah.' For Manoah knew not that he was the angel of Yah. Jdg 13:16
Because The Memra, Angel of Wisdom, carried the authority of Yah and
represented Yah, he was frequently called Yah. Hebrews were able to call a
messenger representing God by the name Yah while also recognizing that
the messenger was only a messenger, and not Yah Almighty the most high
Eloah. Abraham used Yah to refer to three Yahs (the angels who visited
him) while knowing that they were only representatives and not the
Almighty Yah.
I want to make it perfectly clear that I am not saying that the angel of
Yah is Almighty God, or the Messiah. He is neither the Messiah nor
Almighty God, but is the viceroy of the one true Eloah. Yahshuah was born
the Messiah. The Messiah had to be a mortal man. I am saying that the
Angel lived in Yahshuah as one indwells a temple. He tented among us and
Yahshuah was his tent. His name has never been revealed to prevent Angel
worship.
“And the angel of Yah said unto him, Why askest thou thus after my name,
seeing it is secret?” (Jdg 13:18)
Yahshuah was a real man to make him a pre-existent angel destroys
who he was. Some cults say the angel was the Messiah and say the
Messiah spirit came down upon Yahshuah in the Jordan. I reject that.
Yahshuah did not carry the Messiah, he was born the Messiah. Moses said
the Messiah would be a man that Yah would rise up from the brethren.
Yahshuah was a man, not an angel.
98
Moses was a mortal man who also had power given to him through the
angel. It was the angel who spoke to him in the flaming thornbush. The
Torah was given to him by the angel. The angel led him through the
wilderness.
“Then the Lord (the angel of Yah) came down in the cloud and spoke to him
(Moses). He took some of the spirit he had given to Moses and gave it to the
seventy leaders. When the spirit came on them, they began to shout like
prophets.” (Num 11:25)
I believe the same Angel of Yah came down on Yahshuah at the Jordan
and Yahshuah could truly say, “Yah is in me, the father is in me”. For the
Father’s representative was in him. He could say, If you see me you are
meeting him face to face. Yah’s Angel of his Presence is here now, so you
are not far from the Kingdom. He speaks through me and does these
miracles through me. When Yahshuah sent out 70 disciples the angel’s
spirit was upon each of them, and they cast out demons by the angel.
But the Angel of Yah was not Yah the High Eloah, for Yahshuah said,
none of you has ever heard his voice, or seen his form. The wisdom Angel (the
first born of all creation) was Yah’s angel viceroy indwelling Yahshuah –
and Yahshuah became Yah’s human viceroy. So Father spoke through the
angel, who spoke through Yahshuah who delivered the Logos (full Torah)
(end of Editor’s note).

This is a Happy Time
Mt. 5
When Yahshuah, the Apostles, and disciples, left the village they came down
the mountain into a plain and a large crowd surrounded them. There were people
from all over Yahudah, even the seacoasts of Tsar and Tzidon, and many from
Yerushalayim. There were also many non-Jews in the crowd for they were in the
Galil region. They had come for healings, and to hear the message. Everyone in
the crowd wanted to touch him. No one that morning was disappointed, for he
healed everyone, who came to him, and cast out every (angel) demon. The
power flowed from him without fail.
And all the crowd were seeking to touch him, because power was going out
of him and healing them all. Luke 6:19
In the late afternoon, he took his disciples up on a small hill overlooking the
Sea of the Galil.
Ex. 19:3 And Moses went up to the (true) Eloah, and YAH began to call him
out of the mountain, saying: This is what you are to say to the house of Yahkov, and tell the sons of Israel;
and when they sat around Yahshuah, he said,
99
This is a happy time for the poor, destitute, homeless, beggars for there is no
charge to enter Father’s Kingdom.
Blessed be ye poor: for yours is the kingdom of Yah. Lk 6
“I am poor and needy, yet Yah thinks about me.” (Is.40:17)
When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue
faileth for thirst, I Yah will hear them, I the Eloah of Israel will not forsake
them.” (Isa 41:17)
This is a happy time for the humble, and mild-tempered for they will inherit the
Kingdom promised to Abraham.
The rich man does wrong and boasts of it, the poor humble man is wronged
and begs forgiveness. Sirach 13: 3
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Mt.5 5
Now therefore, my children, in patience and meekness spend the number of
your days, that you inherit endless life. (Slavonic Enoch (2 Enoch) 50: 3)
“My son, conduct your affairs with humility, and you will be loved more
than a giver of gifts.” (Sirach 3:3)
“Do not esteem yourself better than your fellows; remember, his wrath will
not delay. More and more, humble your pride; what awaits man is worms.”
(Sirach 8:16)
“But this is the one to whom I will look, to the humble and contrite in spirit,
who trembles at my word.” (Is 66:2)
“But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth; and they will indeed find
their exquisite delight the in the abundance of peace.” (Ps. 37:11)
“The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.”
(Ps 25:9)
“Yah lifts up the meek: he casts the wicked down to the ground.” (Ps 147:6)
“For Yah takes pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with
salvation. Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.”
(Ps 149:4)
The earth is the kingdom promised to Abraham, but he did not take it to be
a literal earth. He knew it was a spiritual kingdom not made by human
hands.
For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is
God. Heb 11:10
For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come. Heb 13:14
But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly (one). Heb 11:16
100
“Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of the Heavens.”
(Mt.5:3)
This is a happy time for those who are hungry for spiritual food, for heaven
will provide food that nourishes.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness (salvation) :
for they shall be filled.” (Mt.5: 6)
I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.”
(Psa 132:15)
From the Dead Sea Scrolls version of 4Q525 Fragment 2
 Blessed are those who seek (Wisdom ) with a pure heart
 Blessed are those who hold to (Wisdom’s) precepts and do not hold to the
ways of iniquity
 Blessed are those who rejoice in her (it) and do not burst forth in ways of
folly
 Blessed are those who seek her (it) with pure hands and do not pursue her
(it). with a treacherous heart
 Blessed is the man (or woman) who has attained wisdom and walks in
the law of the most high and directs his heart towards her (its) ways and
restrains himself by (its) corrections and always takes delight in (its)
chastisements . He does not forsake (it) when he sees distress nor
abandon (it) in time of strain. He will not forget (it) on the day of fear and
he will not despise (it) when his soul is afflicted. For he will always
meditate on (it).
Slavonic Enoch (2 Enoch) 52:1

Blessed is he who imparts peace and love.

Cursed is he who disturbs those that love their neighbors.

Blessed is he who speaks with humble tongue and heart to all.

Cursed is he who speaks peace with his tongue, while in his heart
there is no peace but a sword.
This is a happy time for those who have broken hearts, and are weeping, for they
are perfect candidates for Father’s Kingdom. They will laugh when they enter it.
Mt.5: 4: Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Yah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a
contrite spirit. Psa 34:18
The sacrifices of Yah are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O
Yah, thou wilt not despise. (Psa 51:17)
(We mourn to see the people of the world enslaved to sin and the longer we
live the more we mourn)
101
But I am poor and sorrowful: let thy salvation, O Yah, set me up on high. Psa
69:29
“For in much wisdom is much grief; and he who increases knowledge
increases pain.” Eccl.1:18
“The sound of weeping is better than the sound of singing; for sorrow and
weeping, if the fear of Yah be in them, are better than the sound of singing and
rejoicing.” (Haiqar 2:48)
Be not wanting in comforting them that weep, and walk with them that
mourn. Be not slow to visit the sick: for by these things thou shalt be confirmed
in love. ( Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 7: 38)
LK.6:21 Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh.
“It is better to go to the house of mourning than to the house of feasting, For
that is the end of every man, and the living should take it to heart. Sorrow is
better than laughter, because when the face is sad the heart grows wiser. The
heart of the wise is in the house of mourning, but the heart of fools is in the
house of mirth.” From the Dead Sea Scrolls version of Ecclesiastes 7:1
(You will find true happiness if you are persecuted for following me). Be
happy when men will revile you, and persecute you, and will say all manner of
evil against you falsely, for my sake. Do not be discouraged when it happens, but
leap for joy. Persecution piles up rewards for you in Father’s Kingdom. It makes
you fit to sit with the early prophets, for they too were perfected by persecution.)
Mt.5: 10:
Walk, my children, in long-suffering, in meekness, honesty, in provocation, in
grief, in faith and in truth, in reliance on promises, in illness, in abuse, in
wounds, in temptation, in nakedness, in privation, loving one another, till you
go out from this age of ills, that you become inheritors of endless time.
(Slavonic Enoch (2 Enoch) 66:7)
Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you
from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for
this mortal's sake. Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy: for, behold, your
reward is great in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the
prophets. LK.6: 22
“Blows and reproofs bring wisdom.” (Prov.29:15)
“For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable people in the furnace of
adversity. “ (Sirach 1:2 Septuagint)
However, woe to those, on the earth, who are seeking wealth, their
possessions will be the only reward they will get. Those who were well fed, and
have everything in this life, will not get anything good in the next life.
But woe unto you that are rich! for ye have received your consolation. Lk.6: 24
102
Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
Psa 73:12
and if thou be rich, thou shalt not be free from sin.” Ecclesiasticus (from the
Latin Vulgate) 11:10
And have no fellowship with one that is richer than thyself. Ecclesiasticus
(from the Latin Vulgate) 13:2
Those who live for jokes and laughter in this age will find only sorrow in the
next.
A fool lifts up his voice in laughter: but a wise man will scarce laugh low to
himself. Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 21: 23
This is a happy time for the merciful for they will receive mercy. Mt.5: 7:
For wisdom is a kindly spirit. Wisdom 1:6
But you have mercy on all, because you can do all things; and you overlook
the sins of men that they may repent. For you love all things that are and loathe
nothing that you have made; Wisdom 11:23
But you, our God, are good and true, slow to anger, and governing all with
mercy. Wisdom 15:1
This is a happy time for those who clear their hearts to pursue salvation, for
they will see Father face to face. Happy are pure thinkers.
Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see Yah.
Mt.5: 8
Flee wickedness; let your hands be just, cleanse your heart (mind) of every sin;
Sirach 38:10
This is a happy time for peacemakers for they will be called the children of
Yah.
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of Yah. Mt.5:9
Philo quotes the Logos As saying: “I am an ambassador of peace to creation
from the God who has determined to put down wars, who is ever the guardian of
peace. http://www.socinian.org/philo.html (Marian Hillar 1998)
Look out if everyone likes you and is praising you, for that is what happens to
false prophets.
“Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers
to the false prophets.” (Lk.6: 26)
You are the salt of the earth. Do not lose your saltiness. Salt that has lost its
essence of saltiness will be thrown into the street and trampled to dust. So as
salt preserves, preserve the peace with others. Mt.5: 13:
You are the light of the world. Do not hide your light. Let your light shine to
give Glory to Father. Be a candle in a candlestick (menorah) placed in a helpful
103
location. Be a bright city of light on a hill that a weary pilgrim in the dark can see
from a distance. (Mt.5: 14)

The Revelation of the True Law
Mt. 5:17
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come
to destroy, but to fulfill. 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. Mt.5:
17
(Editor’s note: Yahshuah is saying he has come to correctly interpret,
and reveal the Torah. The Torah is in heaven. Moses had a revelation of it
on a dark night on Mount Sinai. He had an imperfect view of it. The
Prophets had glimpses of it, seeing only fragments. However Yahshuah
was transported to heaven where he saw it in the full light of Yah’s glory.
He is not replacing what Moses saw, but driving back the shadows to
reveal it in the light of day. He did not come to destroy it but to reveal it. If
you want to see what the Torah Moses was aspiring to reveal, look at the
Torah Yahshuah revealed.) Yahshuah said:
Whoever will break one of the least commandments (of my Revealed
Torah), and will teach others to break them, will be called the least in the
Kingdom of Yah, but whosoever will do and teach them, the same will be called
great in the Kingdom of Yah. (He was not talking about the Mosaic
commandments, but His commandments.)
(I Follow only the Torah revealed by Yahshuah. I read the Torah of
Moses. I read the Prophets. I read the Apostles, but consider only the
words of Yahshuah to be my guiding light. He is my only teacher, the rest
are imperfect witnesses. I build no doctrine on their words. I am connected
to only the vine of Yahshuah. I am a One-viner.)
I say to you, That except your zeal for righteousness will exceed the zeal for
righteousness of the Scribes (Mosaic Law Experts) and Pharisees, you will in no
way enter into the Kingdom of Yah. Mt.5: 20
Almsgiving is part of righteous living so let your almsgiving exceed that
of the rogue Pharisees, who loved money, but nevertheless gave alms as a
religious duty.
A hungry man grieve not, a needy man anger not. Do not exasperate the
downtrodden; delay not to give to the needy. A beggar in distress do not reject;
avert not your face from the poor. From the needy turn not your eyes, give no
man reason to curse you; For if in the bitterness of his soul he curse you, his
Creator will hear his prayer. To the fatherless be as a father, and help their
mother as a husband would; Thus will you be like a child to the Most High, and
he will be more tender to you than a mother. Sirach 4:2
104
46
Harsh Words are as Cruel as Knife Wounds
You have heard the elders say, you shall not kill; and whoever will kill, must
be executed.
Anyone shedding man's blood, by man will his blood be shed, for in Yah's
image he made man. Ge.9:6
You must not murder. Ex.20:13
You must not murder. De.5:17
He who works the killing of a man’s soul, kills his own soul, and kills his
own body, and there is no cure for him for all time.
However, I say to you, that whoever is angry with his brother, without a
cause, will be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever will say to his brother,
Raca (stupid, idiot, empty-head, possibly soft, as in effeminate or gay), will be in
danger of the council: but whosoever will say, you fool, will be in danger of hell
fire. For
He who works crookedly or speaks evil against any soul, will not make
justice for himself for all time. Slavonic Enoch (2 Enoch) 60:1 & 4
A blow from a whip raises a welt, but a blow from the tongue smashes bones.
Many have fallen by the edge of the sword, but not as many as by the tongue.
Sirach 12 :17
You must not hate your brother in your heart. Lv.19:17
Be agitated, but do not sin. Have YOUR say in YOUR heart, upon your bed,
and keep silent. Ps. 4:4
The insight of a man certainly slows down his anger; and it is beauty on his
part to pass over a transgression. Pv.19:11
47
Love Your Enemies (No exceptions)
Josephus says the Essenes swore an oath twice a day before meals to
hate their enemies. (War 2:139)
I think we can rule out the idea that Yahshuah or John the Baptizer were
Essenes. Yahshuah taught:
“But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which
hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use
you. And unto him that strikes you on the one cheek offer also the other.”
“Endure for the sake of Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth every wound, every injury,
every evil word and attack. If ill-requitals befall you, return them not either to
neighbor or enemy, because Yah will return them for you and be your avenger on
105
the day of great judgment, that there be no avenging here among men”. Slavonic
Enoch (2 Enoch) 50: 4
“A man that is prudent and well instructed will not murmur when he is
reproved. Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 10:28
“Take all that shall be brought upon you: and in thy sorrow endure, and in thy
humiliation keep patience. For gold and silver are tried in the fire, but
acceptable men in the furnace of humiliation”. Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin
Vulgate) 2:4
“And him that takes away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also. Give to
every man that asks of you; and of him that takes away thy goods ask them not
again. And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love
those that love them. And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what
thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. Luke 6: 28
“He who vents anger on any man without injury, Yah’s great anger will cut him
down, he who spits on the face of man reproachfully, will be cut down at Yah’s
great judgment. Blessed is the man who does not direct his heart with malice
against any man, and helps the injured and condemned, and raises the broken
down, and shall do charity to the needy”. Slavonic Enoch (2 Enoch) 44:2
“Rejoice not in the calamities of thy neighbors. If your enemy wrong you, show
him kindness.” Haiqar 2: 19
“Rejoice not in the death of thine enemy, for after a little while thou shalt be his
neighbor.” Haiqar 2:58
If you bring a gift to Yah at the altar, and suddenly remember that your
neighbor, (or brother, or enemy), has a just reason to be angry with you, turn
around and go seek out that person and be reconciled to him, or her. Then come
and draw near to Father. This is true repentance.
Yahshuah was fond of quoting the prophets and even common
proverbs of his day. This sounds like such a proverb. The idea of giving
gifts to Yah is very primitive and childish. Yah cannot be bribed. He is not
an angry Eloah that needs to be appeased. Yah does not want animals,
grains, or vegetables, or gold. Surely you cannot buy his favor with such
earthly gifts. What pleases Yah is loving-kindness. Yahshuah said that Yah
does not want sacrifices (Korban- gifts, offerings), but mercy. This
statement about bringing a gift to the altar must be seen then as a moral
proverb, not an endorsement of continuing sacrifices. Korban literally
means, “drawing close to Yah.”
“For you desire not a sacrifice; else would I give it: you desire not burnt
offerings. The sacrifices of Yah are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart.
Psalm 51:18
106
but Yah demands pure hearts, and with all that only tests the heart of man.
Slavonic Enoch (2 Enoch) 48:3
Therefore, what I hear Yahshuah saying here is:
You cannot draw close to Yah, if you are culpable of estrangement from
even one human being . Apologize and fix your relationships if you wish to
draw close to Yah.
Yahshuah is not promoting Korban here, but refuting it. Don’t even
bring your broken, repentant heart to Yah, until you attempt to heal
relationships that you have ruined.
48
Stay out of Court at all Costs
Agree with every adversary quickly, before the adversary takes you to court,
and the judge sentences you to jail. You will not get out until they have taken
your last lowliest coin.
Contend not at law with a judge, for he will settle it according to his whim.
Sirach 8:14
Do not go forth to conduct a legal case hastily, that it may not be a question
of what you will do in the culmination of it when your fellowman now
humiliates you. Pv.25:8
49
Sex Laws; It’s Worse Than You Think
You have heard that it was said by the elders, you shall not commit
fornication, or adultery. However, I say to you, that whoever continuously looks at
another person lustfully, has already committed the sin in his, or her, mind. Get
control of your thoughts. Stop mental sins. Stop anything that causes you to sin.
If your right eye offends you, pluck it out, and throw it away. It is better that one of
your members should perish, rather than your whole body should be thrown into
the pit of annihilation. Moreover, if your right hand offends you, cut it off, and
throw it away. It is better that one of your members should perish, rather than
your whole body should be thrown into the pit of annihilation.
Gaze not upon a maiden, lest her beauty be a stumbling block to you.
Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 9:5
Entertain no thoughts against a virgin, lest you be enmeshed in damages for
her. Avert your eyes from a comely woman; gaze not upon the beauty of
another's wife-- Through woman's beauty many perish, for lust for it burns like
fire. With a married woman dine not, recline not at table to drink by her side,
107
Lest your heart be drawn to her and you go down in blood to the grave. Sirach 9:
5
Go not after your lusts, but keep your desires in check. If you satisfy your
lustful appetites they will make you the sport of your enemies. Sirach 17:30
Rottenness and worms will possess him, for contumacious desire destroys its
owner. Sirach 18:3
Moses said: Neither must you desire your fellowman's wife. De.5:21
Gaze not upon another man's wife, and be not inquisitive after his handmaid
(slave), and approach not her bed. Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate)
41:27
50
No Divorce. No Exceptions
Yahshuah said: The Mosaic Law said, whoever wants to divorce his wife must
give her a written divorce paper. However, I say that whoever divorces his wife,
except for (a violation of the Zanah sex code of Leviticus 16), will push her into
adultery for she will remarry. In addition, whoever will marry her that is divorced,
will be committing adultery.
Mt.5: 31: It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give
her a writing of divorcement: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put
away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication (Zanah), causes her to commit
adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced commits adultery.
The Zanah Sex Code from Leviticus
1. You may not marry- your father or mother
2. You may not marry- Your Step-Father or Step-Mother
3. You may not marry- Your Grandfather or Grandmother
4. You may not marry- Your step-grandfather or step-grandmother
5. You may not marry- Your Brother or Sister
6. You may not marry- Your half brother or half sister
7. You may not marry- Your step-brother or step-sister (if they are
your blood relatives)
8. You may not marry- Your step-daughter or step-son
9. You may not marry- Your Uncle or Aunt
10. You may not marry- Your In-Laws (Mother-in-law, father-in law
sister-in-law, brother-in-law, daughter- in- law, son-in-law).

(Lev.19:29, 21:14)
12. You may not marry- anyone married, or divorced, whose first mate

14. You may neither have sex with nor marry an animal (lev.18:23)
15. You may not marry- Your Father or Mother
51
No Oaths nor Swearing
Yahshuah said: again you have heard that it has been said by the elders, if
you make an oath to Yah, you must fulfill it,
Moses wrote in the Scroll of Deuteronomy:
“ If you make a vow to Yah your Eloah, do not postpone fulfilling it; for Yah
your Eloah will surely require it of you, and you would incur guilt. But if you
refrain from vowing, you will not incur guilt. Whatever your lips utter you must
diligently perform, just as you have freely vowed to Yah your Eloah with your
own mouth.” Deut 23:21
that is why I say do not swear any oaths to Yah whatever. Do not swear by
anything, not on heaven (Yah’s throne), or the earth (his footstool), not on
Yerushalayim, and not on your own head. Do not swear at all. When you speak,
let your yes be a yes, and your no, be a no. (Swearing just lets evil people
gain false credibility.)
He that uses many words shall hurt his own psyche-life. Ecclesiasticus (from
the Latin Vulgate) 20:8
The heart of fools is in their mouth: and the mouth of wise men is in their
heart. Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 21:29
A fool multiplies words Ecclesiastes 10: 14
A man that swears many vows, shall be filled with iniquity, and a scourge
shall not depart from his house. Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 23:12
Let your yea mean yea and your nay mean nay, anything more is from the evil
one. Mt 5:37
If there is no truth in men, let them swear by the words, Yea, yea, or else, Nay,
nay. Slavonic Enoch (2 Enoch) 49: 3
52
No Retaliations Ever
Yahshuah said: you have heard that it has been said, an eye for an eye, and
a tooth for a tooth: But I say to you, that you resist not evil, nor evil doers, but if
someone strikes you on you right cheek, turn to him your left cheek also.
“Avoid wickedness, and it will turn aside from you.” Sirach 7: 2
109
Moses taught: Eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot,
Ex.21:24
Fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; the same sort of defect he
may cause in the man as he may cause, that is what should be caused in him.
Le.24:20
In such cases show no mercy; the punishment is to be a life for a life, an eye
for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a hand for a hand, and a foot for a foot, wound
for a wound, a blow for a blow. Deut 19:21
Yahshuah taught just the opposite saying Yah will revenge:
“Say not say: I will pay back evil.” Pv.20:22
“To no man shall I return evil for evil: I shall pursue a man only for good; for
with Yah resides the judgment of the living, and he shall repay each man his
recompense.” From the Dead Sea Scrolls 1QS 10:17
“You must not take vengeance nor have a grudge against the sons of your
people; and you must love your fellow as yourself: I am YAH.” Lv.19:18
If you blow upon a spark, it quickens into flame, if you spit on it, it dies out;
yet both you do with your mouth! The vengeful will suffer Yah’s vengeance, for
he remembers their sins in detail. Sirach 12 :1
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. De.32:35
O YAH our Eloah, you yourself answered them. An Eloah granting pardon
you proved to be to them, and executing vengeance against their notorious deeds.
Ps.99:8
YAH is exacting exclusive devotion and taking vengeance; YAH is taking
vengeance and is disposed to rage. YAH is taking vengeance against his
adversaries, and he is resentful toward his enemies. Na.1:2
When the Messiah comes, “he shall judge among the nations, and shall
rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their
spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither
shall they learn war anymore.” Isaiah 2:4
53
Surrender Your Property Rather than Fight
Yahshuah said: In addition, if anyone wants to take you to court to take away
your coat, offer him your shirt too.
54
Accept Slavery Rather than fight
110
Moreover, if anyone enslaves you and forces you to go a kilometer, go with
him two kilometers.
And every grievous and cruel yoke that come upon you bear all for the sake of
Yah, and thus you will find your reward in the day of judgment. Slavonic Enoch
51: 4
But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite you on
thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue you at the
law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall
compel you to go a mile, go with him twain. (Mt.5: 39)
Do not say: Just as he did to me, so I am going to do to him. I shall repay to
each one according to his acting. Pv.24:29
My back, I gave to the strikers, and my cheeks to those plucking off [the hair].
My face I did not conceal from humiliating things and spit. Is.50:6
Let him give his cheek to the very one striking him. Lam.3:30
55
Laws of Giving
Give something to everyone who begs from you (unless they are with an
anti-Christ organization)
No good comes to him who gives comfort to the wicked, nor is it an act of
mercy that he does…, give nothing to the proud man. No arms for combat should
you give him, lest he use them against yourself; With twofold evil you will meet
for every good deed you do for him. Sirach 13:2
Loan something to everyone (unless they are with an anti-Christ
organization), do not send anyone away empty handed. In addition, do not
demand interest, and do not give expecting to be repaid, that is the way sinners
think. Give, and it (spiritual blessings) will be given to you; good measure,
pressed down, and shaken together and running over. For with the same
measure that you dole out aid to the needy, gifts (spiritual gifts) will be measured
and sent back to you. Lk.6: 38
“whatever you lend, count it as lost.” (Sirach 8: 12)
The bread of charity is life itself for the needy; he who withholds it is a man
of blood. Sirach 34:21
Cast your bread upon the waters (the common folks) , for after many days
you will find it again. Ecclesiastes 11: 1
Do not take interest and usury from him, but you must be in fear of your
Eloah; and your brother must keep alive with you. Le.25:36
You must not make your brother pay interest, interest on money, interest on
food, interest on anything that on which one may claim interest. De.23:19
111
Some preachers try to get around this prohibition on charging interest
saying you may charge usury to stranger, but not family. Remind them we are
all members of the family of humans on spaceship earth.
56 Father is Loving, Merciful, and Kind to Evil People Too. He is Not a
Wrathful Judge
“ A person may be merciful to their neighbor, but Yah’s mercy reaches to all
flesh.” (Sirach 18:13)
Yahshuah said: so love your enemies, and you will be the children of Yah: for
he is kind even to the unthankful and to the evil-doers. So be kind and merciful to
the unthankful and evil-doers, as Father also is kind, and merciful to them.
You have heard the elders say you shall love your neighbor, and hate your
enemy. However, I say, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good
to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and
persecute you. That is how to love like your Father, which is in heaven: for he
causes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and
on the unjust. For if you love only those who love you, you will not get a reward,
even the worst sinners do that. In addition, if you are only friendly to your own
clique, you will not get a reward; even the worst sinners do that. Moreover, if you
do good only to those who will do good back to you, you will not get a reward,
even the worst sinners do that.
No matter the wrong, do no violence to your neighbor, and do not walk the
path of arrogance. Sirach 10:6
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again;
and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he
is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Lk.6: 35
Yah is good to all. Ps. 145:9
Should you come upon your enemy's bull or his ass going astray, you are to
return it without fail to him. Ex.23:4
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened
against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue. They compassed
me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause. For
my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer .And they have
rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love. Ps. 109:2
I am praying continually for them in their misfortune. Ps. 141.5
Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, And do not let your heart be glad when
he stumbles. Prov 24:17
If the one hating you is hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he is thirsty, give
him water to drink, Pv.25:21
112
57
How Sins are Removed
Judge no one’s final destination, and you will not be judged: condemn not,
and you will not be condemned: forgive, and you will be forgiven.
Forgive your neighbor's injustice; then when you pray, your own sins will be
forgiven. Sirach 12:2
Seek not to become a judge . Sirach 13:6
Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be
condemned. Lk.6: 37
O Yah you yourself pay back to earthling man according to his activity.
Ps.62:12
Therefore each one according to his ways is how I shall judge You. Ezk.18:30
Moreover, why are you judging the wood speck that is in your neighbor’s eye,
but not judging the chunk of wood that is in you own eye?
How can you say to your neighbor, let me pull out the wood speck that is in
your eye, when you cannot even see the chunk of wood that is in your own eye?
You hypocrite, work on your own chunk before you are concerned with your
neighbor’s speck.
forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.
Lk 6:37
You must not take vengeance nor hold a grudge.
Lv.19:18
Although her sins are many she is forgiven for she love much. Luke 7:47
Repent or perish. Luke 13: 5
For as the heavens are far above the earth so great is his steadfast love
towards those who fear him as far as the east is from the west so far he removes
our transgressions from us. Just as a father has compassion for his children, Yah
has a compassion for those who reverence him. For he knows how we were
formed and remembers that, we are but dust. From the Dead Sea Scrolls
Psalm103:11
Do Not Attack False Teachers
Can the blind lead the blind? Won’t they both fall into a ditch? “Leave them
alone”.
It is not our duty to attack and fight false prophets. In attacking blind
leaders, we too will become blind.
Do not send a blind man to bring vision to the upright. From the Dead Sea
Scrolls 4Q424 fragment
Strive for Perfection
113
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Mt.5: 48
To be Perfect, Imitate Yahshuah as He Imitates the Father
Moreover, remember the disciple is never greater than the master.
Furthermore, if they call me, Satan, Beelzebub, Azazel, Satan, Lucifer, the
Devil, Imposter etc. and many other abusive names, they will do the same to
you. Lk.6: 40
Beelzebub, or Baal zebul was the Canaanite name for Azazel.
“He is the white bull god from the North “Lord of the Mansion”
connected with Amanita Muscaria (Magic Mushrooms) “ermords” or
“little foxes” . He derived his title from his mother Baaltis Zapuna.”
(Graves 1948)
58
The Best Way to Do Good
When you do kind, loving deeds, like helping the poor, do them in secret.
Hypocrites like to be seen doing kind deeds and have someone blow the trumpet
and praise them. Do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing and
then Father will reward you.
“Almsgiving frees one from death, and keeps one from going into the dark abode.
Alms are a worthy offering in the sight of the Most High for all who give them.
Tobit 4:10
"Give to the hungry some of your bread, and to the naked some of your clothing.
Whatever you have left over, give away as alms; and do not begrudge the alms
you give.” Tobit 4: 16
“But do not share them with the wicked (those who are anti-Christ, or anti-Yah,
unless they are on the point of abject starvation).” Tobit 4:17
“Prayer and fasting are good, but better than either is almsgiving accompanied
by righteousness.” Tobit 12:8
“Visit the poor in his affliction, and speak of him in the ruler's presence, and do
thy diligence to save him from the mouth of the lion. “ Haiqar 2:57
“In case some one of your brothers becomes poor among you in one of your
cities, in your land that YAH your Eloah is giving you, you must not harden
YOUR heart or be closed fisted toward your poor brother.” De.15:7
“You should by all means give to him, and your heart should not be stingy in
your giving to him, because on this account YAH your Eloah will bless you in
every deed of yours and in every under taking of yours.” De.15:10
He that is showing favor to the lowly ones is lending to YAH and his
treatment he will repay to him. Pv.19:17
114
59
Stop that Public Worship, Father Does not Want it.
Pray in secret. Hypocrites like to pray in big crowds at meetings, or on street
corners hoping to be seen. They will not like it when their prayers get the rewards
they have earned. So when you pray, go to a private place where no one can see
you. Prayer does not have to be long and do not read someone else’s
prayers, or repeat the same words repeatedly the way the primitives pray.
Father knows what you need even before you ask him. You don’t have to pester
him. Mt.6: 7
“Make not much babbling when thou prayest.” (Sirach 1:2 Septuagint)
Say, “Our Father in Heaven” the one and only true Eloah whose holy name is
Yah”.
Pray for the coming of the Kingdom promised to Abraham, and the subjection
of all things visible and invisible to Father. Ask for healthy food in proper portions
and shelter, but most of all ask for forgiveness of your sins. Remember he can
only forgive you as far as you forgive others. Moreover, ask him for added help in
times of temptations from Azazel.
Sample prayer:
Our Father, (Yah Eloah Tsebaoth ) in heaven, the one true Eloah, I live
to glorify your name, I long to be in your kingdom, let it come and let this
age be marked by obedience to your will, please meet my needs of shelter
and healthy food in healthy portions. Please forgive me my sins (see how I
have forgiven everyone) and please strengthen me as you lead me far from
temptations and the evil ones.
He that loves Yah, shall obtain pardon for his sins by prayer. Ecclesiasticus
(from the Latin Vulgate) 3:4:
Most important of all, pray to God to set your feet on the path of truth.
Sirach 34:15 I used to appear to Abraham, Yitzak and Yah-kov as Eloah
Almighty, but as respects my name Yah I did not make myself known to them.
Ex.6:3
That people may know that you, whose name is Yah you alone are the Most
High over all the earth. Ps.83:18
I am Yah. That is my name; and to no one else shall I give my glory. Is.42:8
And I will certainly sanctify my great name, which was being profaned
among the nations, which YOU have profaned in the midst of them; and the
nations will know that I am Yah, the Eloah of the Tsebaoth . Ezk.36:23
60
Yes Fasting is Part of the Spiritual Life
115
In addition, when you fast, fast in secret. Hypocrites tell the whole world when
they are fasting, and make a big show of it. They will not like the reward they will
get. However, when you fast, wash your face, smile, tell no one, and Father will
reward you.
Is 58:4-12
Look, you serve your own interest on your fast-day,
and oppress all your workers.
4 Look, you fast only to quarrel and to fight
and to strike with a wicked fist.
Such fasting as you do today
will not make your voice heard on high.
5 Is such the fast that I choose,
a day to humble oneself?
Is it to bow down the head like a bulrush,
and to lie in sackcloth and ashes?
Will you call this a fast,
a day acceptable to Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth?
6 Is not this the fast that I choose:
to loose the bonds of injustice,
to undo the thongs of the yoke,
to let the slaves go free,
and to break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
and bring the homeless poor into your house;
when you see the naked, to cover them,
and not to hide yourself from your own kin?
8 Then your light shall break forth like the dawn,
and your healing shall spring up quickly;
your vindicator shall go before you,
the glory of Yah shall be your rearguard.
9 Then you shall call, and Yah will answer;
you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am.
If you remove the yoke (of slavery) from among you,
the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil,
10 if you offer your food to the hungry
and satisfy the needs of the afflicted,
then your light shall rise in the darkness
and your gloom be like the noonday.
11 Yah will guide you continually,
and satisfy your needs in parched places,
and make your bones strong;
and you shall be like a watered garden,
like a spring (fountain) of water,
whose waters never fail.
12 Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;
116
you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
you shall be called the repairer of the breach,
the restorer of streets to live in.
61
Give up Trying to Gain Wealth
Faithless people spend all their energy accumulating wealth, and when they
turn their backs, the moths, rust, and thieves steal it. Do not be like them. (True
riches are spiritual riches like love, joy, and peace; these are accumulated by
serving Father). Your treasure, tells you the condition of your heart. Where your
treasure is, is where your heart will be. Treasure Father.
“Wisdom, higher knowledge, and piety (kindness towards Yah and others)
these are the true treasuries of righteousness.” (Is.33:7 Apostolic Bible
Septuagint.)
Your lips reveal the good treasure in your heart, just as the lips of the wicked
reveal the wickedness in their hearts.
Light enters your body through your eyes. If your eyes are focused on Father,
your whole body will be full of light. However, if your eyes are focused on wealth,
your whole body will be full of darkness.
Where the pupil of the eye is missing, there is no light, and where there is no
knowledge, there is no wisdom. Sirach 3:24
Ye that fear Yah, love him, and your hearts (minds) shall be enlightened.
Ecclesiasticus 2: 10
He that is kindly in the eye will be blessed; for he has given of his food to the
lowly one (the poor). Pv.22:9
The eye of the envious is wicked: and he turns away his face, and despises
his own soul. The eye of the covetous man is insatiable in his portion of
iniquity: he will not be satisfied till he consume his own soul, drying it up. An
evil eye is towards evil things: and he shall not have his fill of bread, but shall
be needy and pensive at his own table. Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate)
14:8
No one can serve two masters. You cannot serve Father with one hand and
wealth with the other. (Wealth is Azazel’s (angel) demon, Queen Mammon the goddess of fortune, who is worshipped by world-lovers in every land). If
you try to serve two masters, you will love one and hate the other. You must
choose. You cannot serve both Father and Lady Luck.
The eyes of Yah are upon those who love him; he is their mighty shield and
strong support, A shelter from the heat, a shade from the noonday sun, a guard
against stumbling, a help against falling. He buoys up the spirits, brings a
sparkle to the eyes, gives health and life and blessing. Sirach 34:16
117
Do not mix (your search for Yah) with merchandise…why should it be a
mixture like a mule? Should you dress with mixed materials like wool and linen?
Should you labor with an ox and a donkey yoked together? (From the Dead
Sea Scrolls 4Q418 fragment 103:2)
62 The more you love the world, the more you hate will Father, and viceversa Mt. 6:24
Mt. 6:24 No one can serve two masters. He will either hate one and love the
other, or be devoted to one and despise the other.
Do not worry about not having enough food or clothes that is the constant fear
of the unbelievers. Father will provide for you. He provides for the birds and they
do not plant crops, or harvest them. Don’t you believe he loves you more than
the he loves the birds?
To the beasts he is giving their food, to the young ravens that keep calling.
Ps.147:9
Does not a little food suffice for a well-bred man? When he lies down, it is
without discomfort. Distress and anguish and loss of sleep, and restless tossing
for the glutton! Moderate eating ensures sound slumber and a clear mind next
day on rising. Let not wine-drinking be the proof your strength, for wine has
been the ruin of many. More and more wine is a snare for the fool; it lessens his
strength and multiplies his wounds. Rebuke not your neighbor when wine is
served, nor put him to shame while he is merry; Use no harsh words with him
and distress him not in the presence of others. Sirach 12:19
Give me neither poverty nor riches. Let me eat the food healthy for me.
Pv.30:8 Be it little or much, be content with what you have. Sirach 29:23
Better a poor man strong and robust, than a rich man with wasted frame.
More precious than gold is health and well-being, contentment of spirit than
coral. No treasure greater than a healthy body; no happiness, than a joyful
heart! Sirach 30:14
Yah sent the Israelites daily bread and he will do the same for those who
are walking the path to the kingdom.
Then YAH said to Moses : Here I am raining down bread for YOU from the
heavens, and the people must go out and pick up each his amount day for day.
Ex.16:4
Look how he dresses the lilies and the other flowers in the field that bloom
and perish so quickly. Not even Solomon, with all his wealth, dressed any better
than they did. Don’t you believe Father will also dress you?
118
Seeing the beauty in his creation should make you think of Yah the
original source of beauty
Wherefore, if Yah so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and
tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little
faith? Mt.6: 25
Have faith. Worrying never changed anything. Worry cannot make you one
centimeter taller, or make one hair on your head white, or black. So do not
pursue wealth because you fear you will not have food or clothes. Father knows
what you need and he will provide it.
Throw your burden upon YAH himself and he himself will sustain you. Never
will he allow the righteous ones to totter. Ps.55:22
He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly, He who despises the gain of
oppressions, Who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes, Who stops his ears
from hearing of bloodshed, And shuts his eyes from seeing evil: He will dwell on
high; His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks; Bread will be given him,
His water will be sure. Is 33:15
Keep on pressing forward on the road to his kingdom and all your needs will
be met. Seek ye first his kingdom and his righteousness.
With my whole heart I seek you, do not let me stray from your
commandments. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 119:10
63 The More you love the Father, the More You will Hate the World (not
people, but Psyche-earth life)
If you seek first the Kingdom of Yah and his righteousness, all the material
things you need, will be provided for you. So stop worrying about the future, live
in the moment and deal with each challenge that comes, one day at a time. Do
not try to carry the weight of tomorrow’s challenges today. Often they do not
materialize and, you will have carried their pain in vain.
Distract yourself, renew your courage, drive resentment far away from you;
For worry has brought death to many, nor is there aught to be gained from
resentment. Envy and anger shorten one's life, worry brings on premature old
age. Sirach 12:23
You have not because you ask not. Ask and you will receive. You have not
because you seek not. Seek and you will find. You have not, because you do not
knock on every door. Keep knocking, and eventually a friendly door will open.
Everyone who asks, seeks, and knocks on Father’s door receives. Even evil
earthly fathers give good things to their children. If a son asks for bread, he does
not give him a stone or a serpent does he? So think how much more your
heavenly Father, who loves you, will give you the Pure Spirit (Paraclete angel)
and all the good spiritual things you ask for.
119
Do it now:
The things that thou hast not gathered in thy youth, how shalt thou find
them in thy old age? Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 5
Wisdom says, “I love those that love me and those that seek me early will
find me.” Prov 8:17
He that fears Yah, will receive his discipline: and they that will seek him
early, shall find a blessing. Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 32:18
Pleasing Yah by following the Torah as revealed by Moses and the Prophets
was preached until the arrival of John, the Baptizer. Since that time, the Gospel
of the Kingdom of Yah (the Complete Torah), has been preached. You must
make a valiant effort to enter the kingdom. But be on guard, for evil doers have
violently dealt with John, they will violently deal with you too if you follow the path
to the kingdom of heaven.
Lk.16:16 “The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the
kingdom of Yah is preached, and every man presses into it.”
Mt. 11:12 From the days of John, the Baptizer, until now the Kingdom of
heaven suffered violence and the violent take it by force (have been raiding and
attacking it).
This does not mean violent people can enter the kingdom. Only the
peaceful, loving, meek and humble can enter. But the meek and humble
must make the supreme effort to press their way in, they must give it every
ounce of their strength.
“Forceful ones lay hold of it”. (Bullinger)
While the wicked, both visible and invisible, will be using every ounce
of their strength to stop them.
“Blows and reproofs bring wisdom.” (Prov.29:15)
“For gold is tried in the fire, and acceptable people in the furnace of
adversity. “ (Sirach 1:2 Septuagint)
The Law and the Prophets can be summed up in this one sentence: Treat
others the way you like to be treated.
Do to no one what you yourself dislike. Tobit 4:16
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye
even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Mt.7: 1
It has been suggested that Yahshuah was quoting from the Rabbi Hillel
who died c. 10 Ad
"That which is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow. That is the whole
Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn”. This saying is attributed to
Hillel in The Babylonian Talmud which was completed 500 years after
120
Yahshuah, so if anybody borrowed from someone else, the dates should
tell you who. The Pharisees that Yahshuah was engaging were either
followers of Hillel, or Shammai. Hillel was the “Nasi” or president of the
nation and Shammai the “Father” of the Bet Din (House of JusticeSanhedrin) who died in 30 AD. He would have played a major role in
opposing Yahshuah. Shammai is infamous, rather than famous, in Jewish
history.
The Talmud states that when he passed one of the ordinances, contrary
to the opinion of Hillel, the day "was as grievous to Israel as the day when
the [golden] calf was made" (Sabbath, 17a). The Hostility between the
followers of Hillel and Shammai were so intense that it was said
"The one Law has become two laws" (Tosef., Ḥag. ii. 9; Sanh. 88b; Soṭah
47b).
Three hundred and sixteen controversies between these two schools
are preserved in the pages of the Talmud.” (from the Jewish Encyclopedia)
But then the Talmud makes this most unbelievable statement that
despite the fact that the completely contradict each other about the Torah,
“they are both correct.”
“These and These are both the words of the living God.”
http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/irwin_kula/2007/08/they_are_the_words_of_th
e_livi.html
But if that is true, how does one explain these statements?
A "voice from heaven" is said to have nullified the legality of the rulings
of the house of Shammai (Yerushalmi Berakhot, 1:7), which is why
Rabbinical Judaism follows Hillel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shammai
The sages note that ‘anyone transgressing the words of the House of
Hillel is guilty of death’ (JT Yebomoth 1:6) and those ‘who observe the
teaching of House of Shammai deserve death’ (BT Berachot 1a and JT
Berachot 1:4).
Capital punishment for following Shammai would mean he was a false
teacher and did not speak the words of the Living Eloah.
Gamaliel
In 10 AD Gamaliel succeeded his grandfather Hillel as the Nasi (Prince
or political ruler of the nation). He would have been one of the chief priests
colluding with the Romans. He would have been at the height of his power,
when Yahshuah was murdered, and would have been one of the chief
antagonists of Yahshuah.
Paul who began his career killing new Christians says he was a disciple
of, or “sat at the feet of Gamaliel” whom we can thus assume was teaching
that new Christians must be exterminated.
As you teach the Gospel of the Kingdom, size up your audience. There are
some people who will not listen, and they may attack you, so avoid them. Do not
121
throw the Gospel pearls at wild boars, or offer the holy bread (wisdom) of the
Gospel to dogs, or they will attack you. Mt.7. 6
The wild boars were sacred to the Mother goddess for their curved
tusks imitated the moon. The dogs were the priests of her cult. This is a
warning not to confront false religions, leave them alone.
Strive not with a man that is full of tongue, and heap not wood upon his fire.
Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 8: 4
The ridiculer does not like the one reproving him. To the wise ones he will not
go. Pv.15:12
Speak not in the ears of a fool: for he will despise the wisdom of thy words. Pro
23:9
The path that leads up the mountain to Yah and immortality is narrow,
dangerous, and difficult. At the end of the path, there is a small door. There are
very few who walk the path and find the door. The door is locked. Do you have
the keys? The way down the mountain to the pit of annihilation is wide, and
easy, and most of the people choose that path, Azazel opens each door wide
for them.
The Keys of the Kingdom
1. Repentance
2. Forgiveness
3. Love Father, Yahshuah, neighbors, enemies
4. Hate your psyche-earth life
5. Knowledge that Yahshuah is the Messiah the son of Yah
6. Revelation –ask for the Paraclete angel to dwell in you
“The most high has made this world for many but the world to come for few.
I will tell you a parable Esdras: If you ask the earth it will tell you it makes
much clay for making many vessels but little dust for making gold. Such is the
way of this present world. There are many that are created but few that will be
saved. - 2 Esdras (4 Ezra 8:1-3)
Beware of false guides on the mountain (false prophets). They may have on
guide uniforms with official patches, but they are like wolves in sheep’s clothing.
like wolves tearing prey in shedding blood, in destroying souls for the
purpose of making unjust gain. Ezk.22:27
You know a tree by the fruit it produces, so examine their fruit. You will
not find grapes on a thornbush, or figs on a thistle stalk. Look at their
words, deeds, thoughts, motivations, schemes, hopes, dreams,
possessions, generosity, employments, secrets, family members, bank
122
accounts, investments, debts, houses, vehicles, vacations, games, toys,
entertainments, love of the world etc. A good tree does not produce even
one evil fruit. If a tree produces even one poisonous apple, it is uprooted
and thrown into the fire. In the Old Testament if anyone made a prophecy
that did not come to pass they were stoned.
Moses wrote in the Scroll of Deuteronomy:
But if I haven't spoken, and a prophet claims to have a message from me, you
must kill that prophet, and you must also kill any prophet who claims to have a
message from another god. Deut 18:20 (CEV)
Yahshuah ended all this stoning, but if anyone makes a prophecy that
fails, flee from that one for he, or she, is a false prophet -no second
chances.
Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Mt.7: 15
Even a child by his, or her, practices makes themselves recognized as to
whether their activity is pure and upright. Pv.20:11
A good tree cannot bear posinous fruit, neither can a posionous tree produce
good fruit. Mat 7:18
Every tree not producing good frui,t gets cut down, and thrown into the fire.
Matthew 7:19
Lately I have been leaning towards the idea that there are no more
prophets and that the last prophet died on the cross. Here’s why:
It is written in the Scroll of Zechariah that when the Messiah comes:
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth (of
the angel hosts), that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and
they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the
unclean spirit to pass out of the land. Zech 13:2
Yahshuah said many false ones would come with miracle working
powers.“Man false prophets will arise and deceive many.” (Mt.24:11)
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great
signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very
elect.” (Mat 24:24)
“Many (false Christians) shall come in my name, saying, they believe I am
the Messiah, and shall deceive many.” (Mar 13:6)
Many false prophets call me Lord, Master, Messiah, Rabbi, (even
wrongly Adonai or El Shaddai, the Almighty) but only people who do
Father’s will, will be able to enter his Kingdom. On the Judgment Day,
many will stand crying, Adonai, Adoni, Lord, Master, Rabbi, Prophet
123
Yahshuah, don’t you remember us? We prophesied in your name, we cast
out (angel) demons in your name; we built cathedrals, had massive Gospel
meetings, published books, built schools, hospitals and orphanages. We
broadcast your Gospel of the Kingdom to the ends of the earth.
Nevertheless, I will say, “depart from me you workers of iniquity. I do not
know you. You taught the wrong Messiah, the wrong Father, the wrong
Gospel, the wrong Lord, the wrong idea of sacrifice, (the despicable
atonement), the wrong view of heaven and hell, the wrong way of salvation,
you had the wrong love for you loved the world. You mistakenly called me
Adonai (Yah) instead of Adoni (master), but even then did not do the things
I said to do.
Mt.7: 21: Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the
Kingdom of the Heavens; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in
heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, 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.
Those who hear my words and obey them are like a wise man, or woman, or
child, that dug a deep foundation to build his, or her, house on solid rock. When
the hurricanes and typhoons blew, and the water rose, and smashed against his,
or her house, it stood firm for it was founded on a rock. Moreover, everyone who
hears my words and disobeys them is like a foolish man, or woman, or child,
who built his, or her, house on the sand. When the hurricanes blew, and the
water rose, and smashed against his, or her, house it, it was washed out to sea.
So build your lives on the rock of obedience. Do what I said to do.
Therefore this is what the Almighty YAH has said: I will also cause a blast
of windstorm to burst forth in my rage, and in mine anger there will occur a
flooding downpour, and in my rage there will be hailstones for an extermination.
Ezk.13:13

Yahshuah Heals the Roman Centurion’s Slave at a Distance Mt. 8
At twilight, they were entering Kefer Nahum. The village elders met them.
They said,
“There is a Roman Centurion who lives here. He loves our nation and paid to
help build and maintain our synagogue. His most prized slave is sick and near
death. Please come and heal him.”
As they were nearing the Centurion’s house, they met some of his friends,
who said, “The Centurion sent us to tell you that he feels unworthy to have you
come into his house, and he is unfit to come to you..He says when he wants
124
something done; he only has to give a command, and his soldiers, or slaves do
it. He believes that if you just command his slave to be well, it will happen. So do
not trouble yourself to come all the way to his house.”
Yahshuah was impressed and he turned to the crowd and said, “In all of
Israel I have not met one Jew who had the faith of this Roman. People with such
great faith will come from every nation and enter the Kingdom promised to
Abraham, Yitzhak and Yah’kov. However, many of you, to whom Yah first
revealed the Kingdom, will find yourselves in the darkness where the doubters
will be weeping and their teeth (gnawing and snarling). Go and report to the
Centurion that because of his great faith, his slave is healed.”
When the Centurion’s friends reached his home, they found the slave
completely healed.
Some say that Yahshuah approves of soldiers because he helped the
Centurion. Yahshuah healed everyone who came to him - no exceptions.
This is not a story about soldiers, but about faith. This soldier was a nonJew, but he had greater faith than anyone in Israel. If the Centurion began,
and continued, to follow Yahshuah he would soon beat his sword into a
pruning hook as the prophets Isaiah and Micah said:
And He (Yahshuah the Messiah) shall judge between many peoples, and shall
decide concerning mighty nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into
plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword
against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. Micah 4:3
To follow Yahshuah, you must obey him. He said “Put up your sword.”
65
Yahshuah Brings a Young Man Back to Life in Nain
Lk.7
And it came to pass that on the next day, as they were approaching the gates
of the village of Na’im, that a large funeral procession was coming out. A widow
had lost her only son and she was weeping bitterly. When Yahshuah saw her, he
had compassion on her and said,
“Do not weep.” He placed his hand on the pallet bearing the body and said,
“Young man arise.” The dead youth came back to life, sat up, and began
speaking to his mother who ran and embraced him. A great fear came over the
crowd. They began to quietly praise Yah and whisper to each other that Yah had
sent a great prophet. The story of this miracle spread quickly through the region
and throughout all the region of Yahudah.
66
John, the Baptizer, is Struggling With Doubts
Lk.7
125
Some of John, the Baptizer’s, disciples witnessed this resurrection and
reported everything to John in Herod’s prison. John sent two disciples back to
ask Yahshuah a question. When they found him, he was healing the sick, casting
out (angel) demons and giving sight to the blind. They asked,
“Rabboni our mentor John, the Baptizer, has sent us to ask you this question:
are you the Messiah, or should we look for someone else?”
Yahshuah replied, Go tell John what you have seen here today. The blind are
receiving their sight, the lame are walking, lepers are cleansed, the deaf can
hear, the dead are brought back to life. The poor are hearing the Gospel of the
Kingdom free of charge.
It is written in the Scroll of Isaiah: At that time the eyes of the blind ones will
be opened, and the very ears of the deaf ones will be unstopped. (Is.35:5)
Tell John not to stumble, but have faith to the very end.
And he the (Messiah) must become as a sacred place (his body was the
temple); and a stone to strike against and as rock over which to stumble to both
the houses of Israel, for a trap and as a snare to the inhabitants of
Yerushalayim. Is.8:14
67 Yahshuah Says the Same Spirit (Angel) That Spoke Through Elijah
Spoke Through John, The Baptizer
Jn.11:13
When the disciples of John left, Yahshuah asked the people,
“When you went out into the wilderness to see John who was baptizing in
water, what did you expect to see? A reed blowing in the wind? A man clothed in
stylish clothes? Behold those who dress elegantly, and live delicately, are in
Kings’ courts. But what were you expecting to see? A prophet? Yes, and I tell
you, he was not an ordinary prophet.
He was the one Malachi wrote about,
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and
dreadful day of Yah: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children,
and the heart of the children to their father. (Malachi 4:5)
John came with the same spirit (angel) that was on Elijah.
Listen, among those that are born of women, there is not a greater prophet
than John, but he that is the least in the Kingdom of Yah, will be greater than
John the Baptizer.
Everyone went out to see him. Even the tax collectors repented and asked for
the water-baptism. However, the rogues among the Pharisees, and the rogues
among the Mosaic Law Experts, and all those rogues who rule this nation, did not
seek the water-baptism, they rejected Father’s message. They treated John just
126
as their wicked ancestors treated Elijah. John is in prison right now as I speak.
And they will treat me the Messiah just as wickedly.
To what can I compare those rogues? They are like slow-witted children
sitting in the marketplace who do not respond to music. I have piped dance tunes
to them, but they did not dance. John played funeral music, but they did not
weep. When John came to them with the funeral music, neither eating much
food, nor drinking wine. They said, “He has a (angel) demon”. Then I, the
Messiah, this mortal, have come eating and drinking and playing dance music,
They say,” Behold he is a glutton, a drunkard, a playboy who hangs out with tax
collectors and whores.”
Nevertheless, the Day of Wisdom (the Resurrection Day) will show us
Father’s true children.
Wisdom instructs its children and admonishes those who seek it. Sirach 4:11
Wisdom is proved righteous by all its children. Luke 7:35
Just as good children make their mothers happy, wise people make the
wisdom angel happy.

Bad News For the Citizens of Korazin and Beit-Tzaidah
Mt. 7
It will be a day of woe for you citizens of Korazin and Beit-Tzaidah for if the
miracles that you saw, had been done in the heathen towns of Tsar and Tzidon,
they would have put on sackcloth and repented in ashes.
69
Mt. 7
Bad News For the Citizens of Kefer Nahum
It will be a day of woe for you citizens of Kefer Nahum. Do not look so smug.
Heaven chose you to be my base camp, but most of you have rejected me. If the
miracles I performed in your streets, had been performed in Sodom, they would
have repented and never been destroyed. It will be better for them on the
Resurrection Day than for you folks.
As Yah in his wisdom has said: “I will send you Prophets, Scribes (writers),
Legates, and wise men, but you will persecute and kill them.
I sent unto you my servants the prophets, whom ye have taken and slain, and
torn their bodies in pieces, whose blood I will require of your hands, saith Yah.
Esdras 2:32
Lady Wisdom (it) goes out in the street and shouts. At the town center she
(it) makes her (its) speech. In the middle of the traffic she (it) takes her (its)
stand. At the busiest corner she (it) calls out: "Simpletons! How long will you
wallow in ignorance? Cynics! How long will you feed your cynicism? Idiots!
127
How long will you refuse to learn? About face! I can revise your life. Look, I'm
ready to pour out my spirit on you; I'm ready to tell you all I know. As it is, I've
called, but you've turned a deaf ear; I've reached out to you, but you've ignored
me. (Prov.19:20 Peterson)
Then lifting his eyes to heaven Yahshuah prayed, “Thank you Father, the one
true Eloah of heaven and earth, because you have hid your Gospel of the
Kingdom from those who think they are wise and prudent, and have revealed it
to common people, and children.
The wise ones have become ashamed. They have become terrified and will be
caught. Look! They have rejected the very word of Yah and what wisdom do
they have? (Jer.8:9)
Then Yahshuah said to the people, “All power has been given to me by my
father”.
What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and this mortal, that Thou
thinkest of him? Yet Thou hast made him but a little lower than the angels,
and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou hast made him to have
dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under His
feet. Psalm 8:4 (8:5)
No one knows the father except me, the son, and those whom I choose to
reveal him to. Nevertheless, I am willing to reveal him to all who come to me in
faith. Come to me, all you that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Take my wisdom yoke of discipleship upon you, and learn from me, for I am
meek and humble in heart and you will find the true Sabbath, for my yoke is
easy, and my burden is light.
Bend your shoulders and carry wisdom.. (it) seems harsh to the foolish,
anyone lacking understanding cannot remain with (it). (It) will be like a heavy
stone upon him… (Its) yoke is a golden ornament and (its) reins a cord of
purple. (From the Dead Sea Scrolls version of Yahshuah the son of Sirach
6:20, 6:25, 6:30
I led them with cords of human kindness, with ropes of love. I removed the
yokes from their necks. (Hosea 11:4)
70
Shimon the Pharisee and the Prostitute
Lk.7:40
That night Shimon, a Pharisee, invited Yahshuah, and his disciples, to his
house for supper. While they were eating, a prostitute came in carrying an
Alabaster ointment jar. She knelt before Yahshuah, and began pouring sweet
ointment on his feet. She was weeping and her tears fell on his feet, which she
was wiping with her hair and kissing.
Shimon was shocked, and began to think, “If this man were a prophet, he
would know the woman touching him is a prostitute.”
128
Yahshuah said to him, “Shimon, I have something to say to you.”
Shimon asked, “What Rabbi?”
There was a certain money-lender (loan shark), which had two debtors: the
one owed five hundred gold coins, the other fifty. Neither one could pay, so he
forgave them both. Which one of them will love him the most?”
Shimon answered, “I suppose the one to whom he forgave the most.”
Yahshuah said, “You have answered correctly.”
Then he turned to the woman, and said to Shimon, “Do you see this woman?
I entered into your house, and you gave me no water for my feet, but she has
washed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair. You did not greet
me with a kiss, but this woman since the time she came in, has not ceased to
kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with cologne, but this woman has
anointed my feet with perfume. Wherefore I tell you, her sins, which are many,
are forgiven, for she loved much, but to whom little is forgiven, the same loves
little.
Yahshuah said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.”
The other Pharisees who were at the party began to think,” who does he think
he is that he can forgive sins?”
Then he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you, go in peace.”
71
Some Female Disciples
Lk. 8
Yahshuah traveled with the Twelve Apostles, and many disciples, both male,
and female, from town to town, and village to village explaining the Gospel of the
Kingdom. Among the female disciples were many who had been healed and had
(angel) demons cast out of them. Mary from Magdala who had had seven (angel)
demons removed, and Shoshanna, and Yahchanah (the wife of Chuza, the
financial administrator of Antipas) were traveling with him. These women learned
from him and taught others, and provided financial support. Yahshuah treated
women as complete equals and gave them major roles. The Woman at the Well
was the first evangelist to the Samaritans. Mary Magdalene was the First
Evangelist to the Jews to declare the Resurrection. Unfortunately Paul reversed it
and told the women they were forbidden to teach and must be silent in the
churches.
72
The Nature of (angel) demons
Lk.11
The Jewish Encyclopedia says “All demons are fallen angels, some
were called “unclean”, but the unclean ones are no more, others cause
insanity and diseases, they can enter animals and people and cause the
people to convulse and injure themselves. There is no record of them
129
inhabiting objects or being able to move objects. They can imitate the
departed dead (pretending to be ghosts).
The ancient Jews had a complete, but unofficial demonology. They saw
Yah involved in a cosmic battle with Rahab, the sea-monster; Tannin, the
dragon of the sea; and Leviathan, behemoth the "crooked serpent.” On the
earth were the "shedim (destroyers)," the "mazziḳim" (harmers), and the
"ruḥin" or "ruḥotra'ot" (evil spirits). Besides these there were "lilin" (night
spirits), "ṭelane" (shade, or evening, spirits), "ṭiharire" (midday spirits), and
"ẓafrire" (morning spirits), as well as the "demons that bring famine" and
"such as cause storm and earthquake" and “the se'irim ("hairy beings"), to
which the Israelites sacrificed in the open fields; equal to the Jinn in Islam.
(Lev. xvii. 7).
To the same class belongs Azazel, the goat-like demon of the
wilderness (Lev. xvi. 10 et seq.), probably the chief of the se'irim, and Lilith
(Isa. xxxiv. 14) The queen of demons .
Lilith is pictured with wings and long flowing hair. The cabalists call her
queen of the demons "Na'amah”, the wife of Samael. Some call her Igarat
bat Maḥlat she rides in a chariot pulled by 18 lion-like demons.
The demons are both fallen angels and the wicked hybrid angel/men
(Nephelim) who were the result of the fallen angels mating with earth
women. Their bodies were destroyed in the flood but they are now
disembodied perverse spirits that roam the earth causing destruction.

demon of forgetfulness)
One day, the crowds were so pressing, that they could not even eat. Some of
Yahshuah’s relatives (his mother, brothers and sisters), and boyhood friends,
came to bring him home because they thought he was out of his mind.
Yes his own mother thought he was so insane that she came with a
posse from Nazareth to do an intervention and forcibly bring him home.
I have become a stranger to my brethren and an alien to my mother’s
children. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 69:8
“ And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death.” (Mt.10:20)
“ A person's enemies will be the members of his own family.” (Mt.10:36)
His mother, brothers, sisters and boyhood friends were doing the work of
Azazel and as such, at this moment, were the insane ones. This story illustrates
what Yahshuah had said; Your own family will be your worst enemy.
130
When he came out of the house and was greeting his family and friend, some
Mosaic Law Experts, who had descended from Yerushalayim, began yelling, “He
has a demon and is casting out demons by the power of Azazel, the chief of the
angel Demons”.
Yahshuah called them over, and asked, “How can Azazel cast out his
servants? If a Kingdom is divided against itself, that Kingdom cannot stand. If a
house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. Moreover, if Azazel rises
up against his workers, then he is divided and cannot stand, he is destroying
himself.
No man can enter into a strong well-armed man’s house, and steal his goods,
unless he first overpowers the strong man and ties him up. He can then take the
loot and give it to his friends. (Father has given me the power to tie up Azazel, so
do not ascribe Father’s power to the work of the devil), this is the ultimate
blasphemy. It is unforgivable.
But if it is by means of Yah’'s finger (the angel of Yah) I expel the (angel)
demons, then the kingdom of Yah has come upon you. Luke 11:20
How can prisoners of war captured by a strong man be recaptured from the
tyrant? Is 49:24
Thus says Yah, “even the prey of the warrior will be seized, and the captives
of the tyrant (Azazel) will be rescued”. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Is 49:25
You can blaspheme me, because I am a mortal man, the Messiah, you can
be forgiven, but if you blaspheme Father’s Spirit, you are headed for damnation,
where there will be no forgiveness ever.
(For they were saying the spirit of the Father (the angel of Yah) , which
was in Yahshuah, was an unclean demon).
“Wisdom is a kindly spirit, but it will not hold blasphemers free of the guilt
of their words. Yah is a witness of their inner feelings and a true overseer of their
hearts and a hearer of their tongues”. Wisdom of Solomon 1:6
(Let me tell you something about (angel) demons). When an unclean (angel)
demon is cast out of a man, or a woman, it wanders through barren landscapes,
seeking rest, but cannot find any, so it says, I will return to my previous owner. If
when he returns, he finds the previous owner has returned to his, or her, old sins,
the door is open. The previous owner has put out a welcome mat and a for-rentto- demons sign. Then the unclean (angel) demon goes, and invites seven other
(angel) demons more wicked than himself. They enter in, and dwell there, so the
last state of that person is worse than the first.
"This is war, and there is no neutral ground. If you're not on my side, you're
the enemy; if you're not helping, you're making things worse. (Peterson). "The
131
man who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is
scattering abroad. Mat 12:30
(But Master, yesterday you said “anyone who is not against us is for us.”
Those who truly love the Father will learn of me and come to me. Father will
draw them. But if one hears of me and reads my words and rejects me, that one
is a true enemy. Those who have never heard of me, or have only heard lies
about me are not enemies. So they are for us.
As he was speaking, a certain woman in the crowd seeing his mother, lifted
up her voice, and said, “Blessed is the womb that birthed you, and the breasts
that nursed you.”
Yahshuah said, “Even more blessed are they that hear Father’s words, and
obey them,
Praise Yah, YOU people! Happy is the man in fear of Yah in whose command
he has taken very much delight. Ps.112:1
The fear of Yah is the beginning of his love: and the beginning of faith is to be
fast joined unto it. Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 25:16
Those who obey the Father produce the fruit of righteousness. Either a tree is
good, and its fruit is good, or else a tree is rotten, and its fruit is rotten. A tree is
known by its fruit.
The offspring of serpents can lie and say some good things, but cannot
continually speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart brings forth good
things. However, an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil
things. Every blasphemy that you will speak, you will have to account for it on the
Resurrection Day. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words,
you will be condemned.
A word is the source of every deed. Sirach 36:1
The one guarding his mouth is keeping his life. The one opening wide his lips
- he will have ruin Pv.13:3
He who gloats over evil will meet with evil, and he who repeats an evil
report has no sense. Never repeat gossip, and you will not be reviled. Let
anything you hear die within you; be assured it will not make you burst. When a
fool hears something, he is in labor, like a woman giving birth to a child.
Sirach 19:5

Evil People Always Demand Signs
Mt.16:4
132
Then some of the Scribes (Mosaic Law Experts) and of the Pharisees said,
“Master, show us a miracle, or a sign, then we will believe.”
He answered, If the sky is red at sunset, you say the weather will be good
tomorrow. However, if the sky is red and glowering at sunrise, you say it is going
to rain today. You are experts at reading the signs of the sky, but you are unable
to read spiritual signs. (Yet you stubbornly are demanding one). Evil people (and
adulterers) are the only ones who demands signs before they will believe. The
only sign you will get is the sign of Yonah. For just as Yonah was three days, and
three nights, in the Giant fish’s belly, so will I, this mortal, the Messiah, be three
days, and three nights, dead in the Land of Death. The men of Nineveh will rise
in judgment against you disbelievers, and will condemn you, because they
repented at the preaching of Yonah; and, behold, a greater prophet than Yonah
is preaching repentance to you, but you refuse to repent.
The Queen of the Sheba will rise on the Resurrection Day and condemn you,
for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the Wisdom of
Solomon, and behold, a man with greater wisdom than Solomon is standing
before you, and you walk away from me. Mt.12:42
If you desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and Yah will bestow her upon
you. Sirach 1: 23
“The desire for wisdom leads to a kingdom.” Wisdom of Solomon 1:20
And the queen of Sheba herself heard of the report about Solomon, and she
proceeded to come to test Solomon with perplexing questions at Yerushalayim,
along with a very impressive train and camels that carrying spices, and gold in
great quantity, and precious stones. At length she came in to Solomon and spoke
with him about everything that happened to be close to her heart. 2Chron.9:1
74
The Most Important Parable to Understand
Mt.13
One morning a farmer took a bag of wheat seed and went to his field to plant.
On the way to the field, some of the seeds fell out of a small hole in the bag and
landed in the path. Birds swept down and gobbled them up. People’s sandals
and bare feet, soon treaded under what the birds missed. Some of the seeds
spilled among some rocks (petra, pebbles), and after a few days, began to grow.
However, there was no moisture, and not much soil, so the sun scorched them,
and they soon withered. Some of the seeds landed among weeds full of thorns
and thistles, and when they began to grow, the weeds crowded them out, the
thistles choked them, and they quickly died. Finally, the farmer reached his field,
and planted the seeds in fertile, rich, open, well-tilled soil, where water was
available. When the harvest came, he had a bumper crop. Some seeds produced
30%, some 60%, and some 100%.
Later, after his family, and boyhood friends, had left, and he was alone with
the disciples and the Apostles, they asked him, “Why do you speak to them in
parables? And what was the point of the story?”
133
He answered, “I will explain it to you, but not to them, because as my
disciples you are the first to learn the sacred secrets of the Kingdom of Yah. It is
not time for others to know and so to them I must speak in parables and riddles.
For whoever has a faithful heart, to him will be given more, and he will have
abundance. However, whoever does not have a faithful heart, from him it will be
taken away even what little he has. That is why I speak to them in parables, so
that when the wicked are seeing, they will not see, and hearing, they will not
hear, nor understand.
This is to fulfill the prophecy of Isaiah,
Make the heart of this people unreceptive, and make their very ears
unresponsive, and paste their very eyes together, that they may not see with
their eyes and with their ears they may not hear, and that their own heart may
not understand and that they may not actually turn back and get healing for
themselves. Is.6:10
And the prophecy of David : I will open my mouth in parables; “I will open
my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old.”) I will utter things
which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. (Psalm 78:2)
Conversely, blessed are your pure eyes, for they see: and your pure ears, for
they hear. Many prophets and righteous men have desired to see these things,
which you are seeing, and to hear these things, which you are hearing.
The wise man will seek out the wisdom of all the ancients, and will be
occupied in the prophets. He will keep the sayings of renowned men, and will
enter withal into the subtleties of parables. He will search out the hidden
meanings of proverbs, and will be conversant in the secrets of parables.
Ecclesiasticus 39:1
This is the meaning of the story: the farmer is one of my disciples telling
people the Gospel (of the Kingdom). The seeds that fell in the path are the
(logos) words of the Gospel. Notice Yahshuah is not the Logos, the words of
Yah are the Logos
In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand; for
thou knowest not whether either this or that shall prosper, or whether they both
shall be alike good. Ecclesiastes 11: 6
Don’t be slack
He that observes the wind shall not sow, and he that regards the clouds shall
not reap. Ecclesiastes 11 4
The people who hear the Gospel, but have bad hearts, and minds, cannot
understand it, and instantly reject it. They are so in league with Azazel that like a
bird, he swoops down and takes what they hear immediately out of their minds.
The seeds that landed among the rocks are people who only have a shallow
interest in Father’s Kingdom. Their minds are full of rocks (drugs, sex and rock ‘n
roll). When they first hear his message (of the Kingdom) they receive it with great
134
joy, but they have other interests that are not in line with holy living, and so they
do not sink roots in Father’s plan. As soon as peer pressure, persecutions, or
trials or temptations arise because of following, they turn back to their old ways
and return to Azazel.
The offshoot of violence will not flourish, for the root of the godless is on
sheer rock; Sirach 39: 15
The seeds that landed among the weeds are people who are trying to get all
that this life has to offer, and still make it into Father’s Kingdom. They have one
foot in the Kingdom and one foot in the pleasures of life. They try to piously
squeeze every legal drop of joy from life in pursuit of money, fame, honor,
position, power, and praise. Their minds and hearts love the world more than
they love Father. What they cannot see, is that all those things are deceptive
weeds sneaking in to choke off their life. Therefore, they never reach the harvest,
but perish.
He also that received seed among the thorns is he that hears the word; and
the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he
becomes unfruitful. Mt. 13:22
Faithful N.T.- “ and [when] the cares of the age and the deceitfulness of
wealth and the lusts [about] the rest enter, they choke the word, and it becomes
fruitless.”
Rely not upon deceitful wealth, for it will be no help on the day of wrath.
Sirach 5:10
As a stake sticks fast in the midst of the joining of stones, so also in the
midst of selling and buying, sin shall stick fast. Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin
Vulgate) 27: 2
Finally, the seeds that reach the good soil are the people who are solely
focused on Father. They hate their psyche lives in this world. They have no
desire for riches, fame, honor, power, or any of sins enticing lures. They live to
love and serve Father by living in peace and love and helping others find the path
to immortality.
Now that you see how this story has hidden meanings, you should be
aware that all my stories have hidden meanings. The Farmer was not a real
farmer, the seeds were not real seeds, the soil was not real people.
Everything stood for something else. This is the key to understanding
parables. Everything stands for something else. My mission is to speak to
the people in parables. Your mission will be to explain the parables. Do not hide
the hidden truths. Hidden things are only hidden, so they can come out.
For the true Eloah himself will bring every sort of work into the judgment in
relation to every hidden thing, as whether it is good, or bad. Ec.12:14
135

The Parable of the Sleeping Farmer
Mark 4:26-28
No one lights an oil lamp then covers it with a clay pot. On the contrary, when
you light the lamp you put it in a room on a mantle so it can give light to everyone
who comes into the room so they will not bump around in the dark. You must
publish all of Father’s secrets to the world. Do not hide anything.
So listen carefully while I explain the Gospel (of the Kingdom). Those who are
good listeners will get more and those who are poor listeners will get little, and
the little they thought they had, will soon be lost.
A wise person will listen, and take in more instruction, and a man of
understanding is the one who acquires skillful direction. Pv.1:5
Father’s Kingdom is like a farmer who plants his seeds then goes to sleep.
There is not much more he can do. He wakes, he sleeps, and the seeds go on
growing. He does not know how. All he knows is up grows a blade, then a stalk,
then a bloom, and then a head then it is harvest time. He puts in his sickle and
fills his barn.
You cannot accelerate the coming of the Kingdom. In the early 21 st
Century many false prophets were saying we must help establish the
nation of Israel and fight the wars of the Middle East to bring about the
return of Yahshuah. There is nothing we can do to slow it down or speed it
up.
76
The Devil’s Seed (False Christians… yes, they’re a lot of them) M.13
Father’s Kingdom is like a farmer who sowed good wheat seeds in his field,
but during the night, his enemy came and sowed Bearded Darnel seeds, (lolium
temulentum, It looks like wheat, but it is poison) among the wheat, and went
his way. However, when the blades sprung up, and produced heads, then the
Bearded Darnels appeared growing intermingled with the wheat.
The field hands came to the farmer and asked, “Sir, did not you sow good
seed in your field? Where did those Bearded Darnels come from?”
The farmer said, “An enemy has done this. The field hands said to him, “Do
you want us to go and tear them up?”
He said, “No, lest while you tear up the Bearded Darnels, you might also tear
up the wheat. Let them grow together until the harvest and in the time of harvest,
gather together first the Bearded Darnels, and tie them in bundles and burn
them. Then put the wheat into my barn.
136
77
The Amazing Mustard Bush
Mrk. 4
Father’s Kingdom is like a mustard seed, which a farmer planted in his field. It
is one of the smallest garden seeds, but when it is grown, it can be a vegetable
bush as tall as a ten-foot tree, and even birds can lodge in its branches.
On its boughs all the flying creatures of the heavens made their nests, and
under its branches all the wild beasts of the field gave birth, and under its shade
all populous nations dwell. Ezk.31:6
At first glance this parable seems to be talking about the rapid and beneficial
growth of Father’s Kingdom. But in the parable of the sower, the birds were
symbols of Azazel.
In Ezekiel 31.6 the tree is not referring to Yah but to Azazel, the king of
Assyria.
The eagle is identified with the cults of Egypt , the king of Babylon and Zeus
(Baal the Bull God). Farmers know birds are destructive to crops. In the Parable
of the Sower, they swoop down and snatch away the Logos. Leviticus 11:13 lists
the eagle, the ossifrage, and the ospray as “abominations”.
Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of
Yah, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my
law. Hos 8:1
Notice Yah’s kingdom does not fill the whole earth, but does become a very
potent bush. In every generation the little flock will have the potency of
mustard, but it will not be without persecution, and it will always be attacked
by Azazel’s birds.
78
The Invisible Powerful Spread of Leaven Mt. 13
Father’s Kingdom is like lump of starter dough, which a lady baker took, and
mixed in very large with water, eggs and flour (126 cups), until the flour mix
became a large lump of dough.
This parable is much like the Mustard Parable. Notice the growth of the
kingdom does not fill the whole earth, but in an invisible way expands -the
Little Flock.
Starter dough has yeast, or leaven in it. Leaven throughout the
scriptures stand for sin, corruption, and false teachings. The little flock will
be buffeted from all sides by persecutions and false doctrines. Just as the
137
flour reacts to the leavened starter dough and expands, the true Gospel
and the true followers of Yahshuah are formed as they react to the assaults
of the Mihtraic Christians and their anti-Yah, anti-Christ gospel of the cruel
blood thirsty-father who sacrificed his human/divine son war-god, and
unites with them through cannibal/vampirism. But the more the little flock
is persecuted, the more mysteriously it will grow.
79 The Wheat and the Bearded Darnel Parable Explained (in case you
missed that one too)
His disciples said, “Master please explain the parable of the Wheat and the
Bearded Darnels to us.”
Yahshuah said, “I am the farmer, the field is the cosmos. The wheat grains
are my true followers. The enemy, who sows the bad seed, is Azazel, the devil.
The Bearded Darnels are the false Believers who pretend to follow me. (they look
just like true believers) The harvest is the Judgment Day. The field hands who do
the harvesting are the angels of the Judgment Day. They will gather all the False
Believers and cast them into the fiery pit of annihilation, and lead my true
followers into Father’s Kingdom where they will shine like the sun.
Throughout the centuries Mithraic Christian leaders have appeared with
swords, nooses, and firebrands teaching that it was their duty to root out
the tares (heretics) and kill them. For many centuries hundreds of
thousands of women were burned at the stake as witches. True Christians
follow Yahshuah’s teaching in this parable and leave everyone alone,
showing them only love, until the Judgment Day, when the angels will sort
them out.
What it Takes to Get Into Father’s Kingdom –All you’ve got Mt. 13
80
To get into Father’s Kingdom, be like the man who found a treasure hidden in
a field. He sold everything he had, and bought the field. Mt 13:44
To get into Father’s Kingdom, be like the Pearl Merchant who found a pearl of
great value. He sold everything he had, and bought the pearl. Mt 13:45
81
Father’s Kingdom is like a Net Mt. 13:47
Father’s Kingdom is like a net thrown into the sea. It brings in all kinds of fish.
Some are edible and some are not, so the fishermen sit down and sort them. The
edible fish go into baskets and they throw the inedible fish into a pile to burn.
That is how it will be on the Resurrection Day. The angels will come and
138
separate the good people from the bad. The good ones will go into Father’s
Kingdom, the bad ones will go into the fiery pit of annihilation where there will be
weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Have you understood these parables?” The disciples said “yes.”
Every writer who learns about Father’s Kingdom must present this message
ever fresh. These treasures are old, but you must make them new.
Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe (Writer) which is instructed
unto the Kingdom of the Heavens is like unto a man that is an householder,
which brings forth out of his treasure things new and old. Mt.13:52
82 We are Yahshuah’s Brothers and Sisters, not His slaves or Mates Lk 8:21
One of the disciples said, “Excuse me Rabbi, your mother and your brothers
and sisters are outside asking for you.”
He asked them, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers and sisters?”
And he looked around at his disciples sitting there, and said, “Behold my mother
and my brothers and sisters. For whoever will do the will of Father, the same is
my brother, and my sister, and my mother.”
And what is the Father’s will? He wants his children to forsake the
psyche earth life and come home to him. I am not advocating suicide, I am
advocating that you turn to Father with 100% love and love not your life nor
the things of this earth. You must love yourself and people, but hate the
fallen earth life, with all its illusions and temptations. Notice Yahshuah calls
us family, you cannot marry family so there is no way we can be his bride
as Paul suggests.
83
To Reach the Father is Difficult
Mt. 8:22
Then he went out and warmly greeted his family. Outside, he saw the crowd
was growing to the point of suffocation. He brought his family in, and after a few
hours, they departed. He told his disciple to get a ship ready, and he started for
the dock. Everyone wanted to touch him and request a favor.
A lawyer said, “Rabbi, I will follow you wherever you go.”
Yahshuah replied, “The foxes have their dens, the birds have their nests, but
this mortal has nowhere to lay his head.” The Lawyer turned back.
Is.53:3 He was despised and was avoided by men, a man meant for pains and
for having acquaintance with sickness. And there was as if the concealing of
one's face from us. He was despised, and we held him of no account.
139
Another man said, “I want to follow you Adoni, but first I must take care of my
aged father, and bury him when he dies.”
Yahshuah said, “Let the dead bury the dead.”
Don’t fixate on the deceased.
Recall him not, for there is no hope of his return; it will not help him, but will
do you harm. Remember that his fate will also be yours; for him it was
yesterday, for you today. With the departed dead, let memory fade; rally your
courage, once life has left. Sirach 38:20
84
Yahshuah Calms the Storm on Lake Gennesaret
Mt. 8:27
It was nightfall when he reached the dock, the ship was ready, and so they
pushed off. Yahshuah was exhausted and fell asleep in the bow. About midnight,
when they were at the midpoint of the sea, there arose a storm; it was a tempest
with driving winds. Most of the disciples were fishermen, and good sailors, but
this gale was so fierce that they lost control of the ship. Waves were swamping
the ship, they ran to Yahshuah shouting, “Master wake up we are sinking.”
Since the days of King David the Jews had feared that Yah was
sleeping:
“Awake! Why are you sleeping, Yah? Rouse yourself! Do not reject us
forever!” (Ps.44:23)
“Rouse yourself, wake up and help me.” (Psalm 35:23)
“Wake up to help me.” (Ps.59:4)
This story answers their cry. Yah has sent Yahshuah to show he is
indeed awake and cares about them.
Yahshuah stood up and rebuked the storm the way he rebuked demons,
“Shut up!” Immediately the wind stopped, the waves dropped, the Sea was as
calm and flat. He said to the disciples. “You cowards, why did you panic? Have
you no faith at all?”
He is not talking about faith in the sense of “Don’t you trust that Yah
will keep you safe?” But the faith he is talking about would be this: “If
anyone of you had any faith he could have ordered the sea to shut up and it
would have obeyed.”
They were shocked into silence. They stared at him in fear and awe. Later
they whispered to each other, “What kind of a man is this that even the wind and
the waves obey him?”
You are ruling over the swelling of the sea; when it raises up its waves you
yourself calm them. (Ps.89:9)
He causes the windstorm to stand at a calm, so that the waves of the sea
keep quiet. (Ps.107:29)
140
They (the waves) mounted up to heavens and descended unto the depths. Their
courage melted inside them. They reeled and staggered like drunkards and were
entirely at their wits end. Then they cried unto Yah and he saved them from their
distress. He caused the storm to be calm and the waves of the sea were hushed .
Then he brought them to their desired haven. (From the Dead Sea Scrolls
version of Psalm 107 from cave four)
At his word the wind is still, and with his thought he appeases the deep.
(Ecclesiasticus 43: 25)
85 The Horde of Cruel (angel) Demons in the Land of the Gergasenes
Mt. 8
In the morning, they docked in the region of the Decapolis (the Ten Cities).
The Decapolis was a Non-Jewish region in North Eastern Palestine,
mostly east of the Yardan River, and lake Gennesaret (Kinnoret from the
word harp “kinnor”). A significant number of Greeks settled there during
the time of Alexander the Great. The Roman General Pompey in 64 BC
fortified and rebuilt many of the cites in lavish Roman style, so there was
also a sizeable Roman population.
The Apostles docked at Gergasene (also called
Gerasene/Gadara/Gadarene) –the modern village of Kursi. This event
shows that early in his ministry, Yahshuah was taking his Gospel to the
non-Jews. We do not know if the villagers in this story spoke Greek or
Latin. There were also Jews living in the Decapolis who would often travel
long distances to hear Yahshuah speak. I think we can rule out that this
was a Jewish village because the villagers raised pigs. Most of the
archaeological artifacts found there are Greek, so most likely this was the
first official visit to the Greeks world (and it should come as no surprise,
that the first Greek they meet is demonic; possibly a magician from the
Goddess Cult who consulted once too often with demons imitating the
dead.)
They had barely left the ship, and started up the path towards the village,
when an (angel) demon-possessed man came rushing out of the bushes at them.
He was naked and growling fiercely. As soon as his eyes met Yahshuah’s eyes,
he fell to the ground, and screamed in a hideous voice, “What do you want with
me Yahshuah, son of the one and only Eloah (son of the most high)? Please do
not torture me.”
(This is the second demon who indicates that demons know a day of
torture is coming for them from the son of Yah)
The man was filled with many cruel (angel) demons. often they would seize
the man in such a frightening way, that he would smash himself with rocks.
Several times the townspeople had captured him, and tied him with chains, but
he always broke the chains and fled to the cemetery, where he would scream,
and howl, all night.
141
Yahshuah commanded the demon speaking to tell him its name. The (angel)
demon said, “My name is Legion.” for the voice was the chief of many thousands
of (angel) demons living in the man.
The size of a typical legion varied widely throughout the history of
ancient Rome, with complements of 4,200 legionaries in the Republican
period of Rome to around 5,500 (wikipedia).
Then all the (angel) demons began begging Yahshuah not to send them into
the abode of the (angel) demons, the abyss. The leader pointed out a herd of
swine in the distance and begged Yahshuah to send them into the pigs.
Therefore, he sent them out of the man into the pigs. The pigs went into a wild fit,
rushed over a cliff, fell into the sea, and drowned. There were about 2,000 of
them- a huge herd.
When the swineherds who were tending the pigs saw this, they ran to the
village.
According to Robert Graves “swineherds” were soothsayers, so this
story may be about Yahshuah’s wisdom (Gospel) undoing the cult of the
Sow Goddess. The Sow Goddess was called Nut in Egypt and her body as
a cow, or a sow, covered the sky and many piglets (the stars) nursed from
her. In Rome she was called Maia (that’s where we get the month of May).
The Bull’s phallus is the May Pole. The Wiccans of our times call her Brigid.
The Druids call her Caridwen.
The villagers came running, and when they saw the once demonic man now
dressed in clothes, and sitting there in his right mind, they were frightened. They
thought Yahshuah was an evil magician, but instead of rejoicing that the man had
been delivered, they were angry that Yahshuah had killed their herd of swine.
“Go away magician,” they began yelling. So Yahshuah, and his disciples, went
back to the dock. As they were boarding the ship, the man who had been
delivered, asked Yahshuah if he could come with them, and be his follower.
“You are my follower,” he said. “And here is your mission: go back to your
people and tell them what kindness Father has shown you, and explain
everything that has happened.”
This man was the first evangelist sent to the Non-Jews.
So the man left and began proclaiming in the Decapolis how much Jesus had
done for him. And everyone was utterly amazed. (Mark 5:20)
This is a difficult story for a number of reasons:
1. Why would Yahshuah grant the demons their wish?
2. Did they trick Yahshuah?
3. Did Yahshuah trick them? But, Going into the sea doesn’t kill them.
4. Mt.8:28 “says two demon-possessed men met him coming out of the
tombs”.
142
There is an interesting interpretation that says the 2,000 pigs were witches
in the Sow Cult (“Pigs” was a slang term for female genitalia (Derrett,
Spirit-Possession, 290)
When the demons entered the witches, the witches committed mass
suicide. Then the Gadarenes drove Yahshuah away for he had destroyed
their cult. This is a plausible explanation and explains why Yahshuah
granted the demons their wish. They were tricked as the women went
insane and women rushed into the sea. The point being that you can kill
the people in demonic cult, but unless you destroy the demons, you have
accomplished little. In Yahshuah’s war with the Goddess cult, this was just
a shot across the bow. And the shot ignited a fire, as an on fire evangelist
is now moving through Decapolis proclaiming the good news of
deliverance, to a large audience that was utterly amazed.

A Woman is Healed by Touching one of Yahshuah’s Tzitzit Mrk. 5:21
When the ship returned to Kefer Nahum, a great cheer came up from a huge
crowd waiting at the dock. One man was not cheering; he was waiting with a
heavy heart. His name was Jair. He was one of the leaders of the synagogue. He
pushed through the crowd, and fell at Yahshuah’s feet, begging him to come to
his house, for his daughter was at the point of death. Yahshuah agreed, and as
they were walking, someone touched the tassle (Tzitzit) of his robe, and he felt
the healing power flow from his body.
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you must say to them that they must make
for themselves fringed edges upon the skirts of their garments throughout their
generations, and they must put a blue string above the fringed edge of the skirt.
(Nu.15:38)
You shall make yourself tassels on the four corners of the garment with which
you cover yourself. (Deut.22:12)
He asked Peter, “Who touched me?” Peter was surprised for the crowd was
pressing against them on all sides. Just then, a woman came and fell at his feet
trembling in fear. She had broken the law by touching him for she was unclean.
Lv.15:25 As for a woman, in case the flow of her blood should be flowing
many day when it is not the regular time of her menstrual impurity, or in case
she should have a flow longer than her menstrual impurity; all the days of her
unclean flowing, will be as the days of her separation due to menstrual impurity.
She is unclean.
In fear that she might be punished for violating the laws of uncleanness, she
quickly confessed, “Rabbi it was I,” She too had felt the healing flow from him into
her body. “For twelve years I have had internal bleeding, and I spent all my
143
money on doctors, but they just made it worse. I knew if I could just touch the
fringe of your garment, I would be healed.”
Yahshuah said tenderly, “My sister, our Father always rewards such faith. Go
in peace, you are healed.”
87
Yahshuah Resurrects Jair’s Daughter Mrk. 5
While he was still speaking, a man from Jair’s house arrived, and
announced, “There is no need for the Rabbi now, your daughter is dead.”
Yahshuah turned to Jair and said, “Do not fear, only have faith, and your
daughter will be well.” Therefore, they continued to the house. Before they went
in, Yahshuah chose five people to go in with him; the father and mother, Peter,
Yah-kov, and John. Inside the house, they found a group of professional
mourners beating drums, and wailing funeral dirges.
“Be silent,” Yahshuah ordered, “the child is not dead, but only sleeping.” The
mourners scoffed at him insisting she was dead. Yahshuah ordered them all to
leave the house, then went to see the girl. She was about twelve years old. He
took her hand and said, “Young maid arise.” She immediately sat up. He turned
to her parents and said, “Give her something to eat, and do not tell anyone what
you have seen here.” Nevertheless, the story spread throughout the land.
88
The Healing of Two Blind Men Mt. 9
As he left the house, two blind men followed him crying “Messiah, Son of
David, have mercy on us.” He stopped and asked them, “Do you believe I can
heal you?” They said, “Yes.”
He put his hand on each one’s eyes and said, “Let it happen according to
your faith.” Immediately they could see, and he told them not to tell anyone what
happened. Nevertheless, they went and spread the story everywhere.
89
The Healing of a Mute Man
Mrk. 7:31
As he went along, they brought him a man who had a (angel) demon, which
made him mute. When the (angel) demon was cast out, the man spoke, and the
crowd said, “We have never seen anything like this in our lives.”
144
Yahshuah was moved with compassion when he saw so many suffering
people in the crowds, and said to his disciples, “The harvest is so great, the
reapers so few. Pray to Father to send more reapers.”
90
The Twelve Sent on a Unique Mission
Lk. 9
That night, he called together his twelve Apostles and gave them power to
cast out foul (angel) demons, and heal all kinds of diseases. Then he said, “I am
sending you out to teach the Gospel of the Kingdom. What I have told you in the
secret of night, speak in the light of day. What I have quietly whispered in your
ears, shout it from the housetops.
Two sparrows are sold for small coins, and not one of them falls to the ground
without Father’s knowledge. He numbers every hair on your head. So have no
fear, you are more valuable to him than many sparrows.
You shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake but not a hair on your head
shall perish. In patience possess you life. (Luke 21:18)
For God is compassionate and merciful, and will forgive sins in the day of
tribulation: and he is a protector to all that seek him in truth.” (Ecclesiasticus
(from the Latin Vulgate) 2: 13)
Barefoot Preachers
Whosoever confesses me before men, him will I confess also before Father.
However, whosoever will deny me before men, him will I also deny before Father.
(He sent out the Twelve in pairs saying,) “When you go out to teach the Gospel
(of the Kingdom),
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, Nor a beggar’s bag for
your journey, neither two coats, neither sandals, nor yet staves: for the workman
is worthy of his meat. (Mat 10:9-10)
At this time, do not go to the nations of the non-Jews, or the Samaritans, go
only to the lost (prostituting) sheep among the Jews.
"Shout without fear, say to the towns of Judah: 'Here is your Eloah - Here is
the Eloah Yah, coming with Power!'. His Arm subduing all things to Him ... He
is like a Shepherd, feeding His Flock, gathering lambs in His Arms, holding them
against His Breast and gently leading those who are with young" Isaiah 40:9b-1
" For the Eloah Yah says this, 'I am going to look after My Flock Myself ... As
a Shepherd keeps all his flock in view when he stands up in the middle of his
scattered sheep, so shall I keep My sheep in view. I shall rescue them from
wherever they have been scattered ... I shall bring them out of the countries
145
where they are; I shall gather them together from foreign countries and bring
them back to their own Land. I shall pasture them on the mountains of Israel ...
in every inhabited place in the Land. I shall feed them in good pasturage ... I
Myself will pasture My sheep. I Myself will show them where to rest - it is the
Eloah Yah Who speaks - I shall look for the lost one, bring back the stray,
bandage the wounded and make the weak strong ... I shall be a True Shepherd
unto them." Ezekiel 34:11-13
"Listen, nations, to the Word of Yah ... 'He Who scattered Israel gathers him.
He guards him as a shepherd guards his flock.'" Jeremiah. 31:8 -10
"The remnant of My Flock I Myself (Yah) will gather from all the countries
where I have dispersed them and will bring them back to their pastures. They
shall be fruitful and increase in numbers. Jeremiah 23:3
Tell them Father’s Kingdom is near. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and
raise the dead, cast out (angel) demons. Do not charge for you services. Freely
you have received, freely give. When you come to a village, or town, enquire who
in it is righteous, stay with that person, and eat whatever they offer you, until you
leave. When you meet the members of his household, wish them peace, but if
they turn out to be unrighteous take your peace with you and leave. Whoever will
not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house, or city,
shake the dust off your feet as a witness against them. It will be more tolerable
for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the Resurrection Day, than for that
house, or city. Say to them, “Even the dust clinging to us out of your city, we shake
off against you! Yet know this, that the kingdom of God has drawn near to you!”
This sending out of the Twelve and later the sending out of the 70 were
special assignments for that day and age, and the restrictions and actions
are not meant to be applied to later disciples.
91
The Gospel of the Kingdom is a Sword
Mt. 10
Do not expect everyone to receive you in peace, for this Gospel of the
Kingdom is a sword. It will set a man against his father, a daughter against her
mother, in-laws against in-laws. Your own family will be your worst enemy.
Whoever loves their father, or their mother, more than they love me is not worthy
of me. Whoever refuses to follow me to a death of hanging in a tree, is not worthy
of me. Whoever tries to find a good life of comfort in this world, will lose eternal
life. Nevertheless, whoever gives up his, or her, psyche life of comfort, and
pleasure, desires, and pride and love for this world for my sake and the Gospel’s
will find immortality.
And beware of thy own children, and take heed of them of thy household.
(Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 28:26)
146
Give not to son or wife, brother or friend, power over you while thou livest.
(Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 33:20)
It is written: For even your kinsmen and your father’s household –even they
have betrayed you; yes they have raised a loud cry against you. Do not trust
them, though they may say nice things to you. (From the Dead Sea Scrolls Ezek
12:6)
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace,
but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the
daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that loveth father or
mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter
more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross (execution
stake), and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life
shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. (Mt.10:34)
“Rabbi, we saw a man casting out (angel) demons in your name and we
stopped him because he is not part of your regular groups of students. Were we
right to do so?
No, anyone who uses my name is to do, this will soon be becoming over to
our side.
Whoever receives you, will be receiving me, and receiving Father who sent
me. Whoever receives a prophet in the name of a prophet, will receive a
prophet’s reward. Whoever receives a righteous man, in the name of a righteous
man, will receive a righteous man’s reward. And whosoever will give cup of cold
water to a disciple, will also receive a reward.”
Do good to the just man and reward will be yours, if not from him, from Yah.
(Sirach 12:2)

John, the Baptizer, is Beheaded by Antipas
Mrk. 6
Herodias, the niece and illicit wife of Antipas, wanted John, the Baptizer,
killed. However, Antipas liked John. He was intrigued by John and often would go
to listen to him in prison. Herodias waited for an opportunity, and found it on the
day they celebrated Antipas’ birthday. She sent her pre-teen daughter also called
Herodias (Salome according to Josephus), the granddaughter of Cleopatra, into
the feast to do a dance. The dance pleased Antipas and his revelers, so much,
that the King said to the damsel,
Damsel in Greek is korasion, it means a half grown girl. At the Greek
Oracle of Delphi girls as young as nine were involved in temple
prostitution. The scripture does not say it was an erotic dance, but the fact
that they were reveling would indicate it was.
147
“Ask of me whatever you want, and I will give it to you, even half of my
Kingdom”.
Salome went to her mother, “What should I ask for?” Herodias said, “The
head of John, the Baptizer.”
Salome hurried back to the feast and said to the King,” I want the head
of John, the Baptizer, on a platter.”
Antipas was exceedingly sorry, yet for his oath’s sake, and not to lose face in
front of the revelers, he granted it. He immediately sent an executioner, who
beheaded John, brought his head on a platter, and gave it to the damsel, who
gave it to her mother.
When John, the Baptizer’s disciples heard of his death, they came and
requested his corpse, and laid it in a tomb.
93
The Boy with Five Barley Loaves and Two Dried Fish Jn. 6
When Yahshuah, and his followers, heard about John‘s death, they boarded a
ship and sailed to what they thought would be a private place. However, the
crowd followed them in ships, boats, (a flotilla) and on foot. When Yahshuah saw
the great multitude, he felt compassion for them, and he healed their sick.
When it was evening, the apostle Philippos came to him, saying, “this is a
desert place, and it’s getting, dark shouldn’t we send the people to the nearby
villages so they can buy food and find lodging?”
Yahshuah said, “They do not need to depart, you can give them some of our
food”.
Philippos answered, “We do not have any left, plus we are almost out of
money.”
The Apostle Andres said, “I know where there is a lad with five loaves of
Barley bread, and two salted fish, but that is about it.”
Yahshuah said, “Bring the lad to me.”
Then he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass in groups of
about fifty. There were about five thousand and men, beside women and
children. He took the five loaves of bread, the two fish, looking up to heaven, he
blessed them, broke them, and gave the pieces to his disciples, and the disciples
distributed them to the multitude. Everyone ate all they wanted, and when he
told them to collect the scraps, there were twelve baskets full.
There has been a fishy attempt to identify Yahshuah with the fish god
Dagon. But the fish god is a late invention of Rashi in 1100 AD, Rashi said
Dagon comes from the Hebrew word dag for little fish. Philo however
writing 1000 years earlier, says Dagon comes from the Hebrew word Dagan
(wheat) and was an agricultural god, the chief god of the Philistines and
Canaanites. Since the Septuagint says in 1 Samuel 5.2–7 that both the arms
148
and the legs of the image of Dagon were broken off, it would appear he was
not a fish. Yahshuah was not a fish god feeding his worshippers.
According to legend, the ever inventive (and destructive Greeks) in
writing Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter (Jesus Christ Zeus’s Son Savior)
noticed that the initials I.C.T.Y.S means “little fish.” It’s quite common
2,000 years later to see this fish symbol on Christian automobiles all over
America. Christians were sent to be fishers not fish, lambs, not lions,
doves not eagles. But somehow the fish became a sacred symbol and for
thousands of years Catholics always ate fish on Friday (the day of Venus,
goddess of impure eros and prostitutes). So there is a pagan influence
connecting Christians with the fish, but it did not come from Yahshuah.
The Fish Goddess
Atargatis/Atarath/Derketo is the Fish goddess, the old mother goddess
herself, whose priests castrated themselves. In Canaan and Greece she
was called the “Goddess of the Sea” Anat, Ashreah, and Ashtart. She is
depicted as a half fish mermaid. He main temple was in Syria and she
appears on coins with the crescent moon, lion and two fish. She is a
fertility goddess identified with the Greek Aprhodite and the Roman Venus.
In Norse mythology she is Freya, a war goddess and that’s where we get
our word Friday (fish day). The planet Venus has long been associated with
the word Lucifer (Helel the son of Shahar (dawn –Baal-Satan-Samael). In
Egypt Isis is called the “Great Fish of the Abyss.” In India Kali is called the
“Fish-eyed one.” The great mother Kwan-yin in China is a fish. Themis the
original Oracle of Delphi was a fish. The orgies and bloody battles of the
fish goddess are a far cry from the gentle Nazarene feeding hungry people
fish, bread and wisdom.
94
Yahshuah and Peter Walk on the Water
Mt.14
Then Yahshuah commanded his disciples to get into the ship, and to go back
to the other side to Beit-Tzaidah, while he stayed behind to dismiss the multitude.
The people meanwhile, after they saw the miracle of the food, said, “Surely this is
the prophet Moses said would come. Moses only gave our ancestors bread, but
this man gives us bread and fish”. They began planning to seize him, and crown
him as their King. When Yahshuah read their minds, he hid himself, and escaped
up the mountain by himself to pray.
The ship was about half way across the sea when a fierce wind came up. The
Apostles took down the sails, and began to row with all their strength, but the
high waves drove the ship back. About three in the morning, they saw something
coming towards them on the surface of the water. They were terrified thinking it
was a (angel) demonic spirit (a phantom). It was Yahshuah and he called out,
“Do not be afraid it is I.”
149
Peter shouted back, “If it is really you, give me the power to walk on the
surface of the water as you are.” Yahshuah said, “Come.” Peter stepped out of
the boat and began walking on the surface of the water. However, when he
heard the wind getting louder, he panicked and began to sink, crying “Save me
Master.” Yahshuah reached out his hand, caught him, and pulled him to the ship,
saying “Oh man of little faith, why did you doubt?”
When Yahshuah climbed onboard, immediately the wind ceased, and those
onboard fell to their knees saying, “Truly you are the son of Yah.”
95 The Gionorians Are Healed by Touching Yahshuah’s Hem
Mt.14
In the morning, they were in the district of Gionsor. The people flocked to him
with their sick saying, “If you just touch the tassles (Tzitzyot) on the hem of his
skirt you will be healed.” He walked among them, and everyone who touched the
fringe, recovered.
96
Yahshuah is Misunderstood When He says You Must Eat His Flesh
Jn. 6
Back on the other side of the sea, the multitude was milling round asking
where Yahshuah was. Someone said his followers left the night before in a ship,
but he was not with them. Others said he had to have been on the ship. So
everyone returned to their ships and boats and those who had come on foot
began traveling back. When they reached the other side of the lake, they found
Yahshuah teaching in the synagogue. They asked, “Master, how did you get
here?”
He replied, “I wish I was your Master, and I wish you came here for the words
of life. However, I am not really your master, and you are here because you saw
the miracle of the fish and bread, and now your bellies are empty again, and you
are looking for another free meal. Do not spend your lives chasing after food that
just goes in one end and out the other. Chase after spiritual food that will give
you the strength to walk the path to immortality. I can give that food to you.
Father has made me the Messiah, and commissioned me to give you that
spiritual food.” (Jn.6:26)
whoever is free from toil can become a wise man. How can he become learned
who guides the plow, who thrills in wielding the goad like a lance, Who guides
the ox and urges on the bullock, and whose every concern is for cattle? His care
is for plowing furrows, and he keeps a watch on the beasts in the stalls. ( Sirach
38:3)
39:1 How different the man who devotes himself to the study of the law of the
Most High! He explores the wisdom of the men of old and occupies himself with
the prophecies; He treasures the discourses of famous men, and goes to the heart
150
of involved sayings; He studies obscure parables, and is busied with the hidden
meanings of the sages. …He travels among the peoples of foreign lands to learn
what is good and evil among men. His care is to seek Yah, his Maker, to petition
the Most High, To open his lips in prayer, to ask pardon for his sins. Then, if it
pleases Yah Almighty, he will be filled with the spirit of understanding; He will
pour forth his words of wisdom and in prayer give thanks to Yah, Who will
direct his knowledge and his counsel, as he meditates upon his mysteries.
Someone asked, “What deed does your father want us to do to gain this
immortality?”
First, you must believe that I am his commissioned Messiah.
Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of
Yah? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of Yah, that ye believe
on him whom he hath sent. (Jn.6: 28)
“Believe on him” means believe, and do, everything he says.
“What sign can you show us to help us believe? Moses had a sign. He gave
our ancestors Manna/ bread from heaven every day.”
“Moses did not give them the bread. Father gave it. You still just want bread
for your bellies. I have heavenly bread that is much better than Manna. Your
ancestors ate the Manna and they all died. Whoever eats my bread, will never
die.”
“Master we want that bread.”
Yahshuah said, “I am the bread of (eternal) Zoë-life that came down from
heaven. Whoever comes to me will never hunger; and whoever believes I am the
Messiah (unites with, loves, and obeys me), will never thirst.
The people began to murmur, “There he goes talking in riddles again.”
Yahshuah reading their minds said, “If this illustration of the heavenly bread
upsets you, how can I reveal the truly marvelous things I have learned from
Father? How would you react if you saw me ascending to heaven where I was
taken once before? Father’s message is the heavenly bread that nourishes and
gives immortality. The words I am speaking to you are the wafers of Zoë Manna
falling from heaven. My words are spirit loaves, you eat those loaves by hearing,
and obeying, they give you eternal life.)
However, I already know that many of you are disbelievers. You are still only
thinking of your bellies. I even know that some of you followed me here trying to
trap me in my words, hoping to get a cash reward when you do.
I also told you earlier, that no one can truly follow me, who does not truly love
Father. However, everyone that Father draws to me, I will in no way cast out, for I
returned from my trip to heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of Father, who
sent me. This is Father’s will: that no one he draws to me, will be lost, but have
immortality on the Resurrection Day. It is his will that everyone who sees me, and
151
believes that I am the Messiah, and obeys my logos will gain immortality on the
Resurrection Day.
And Father draws everyone as it says in scroll of the prophet Isaiah:
“Each child shall each be taught of Yah.” (Is 54:11)
So everyone who is listening will learn of the Father, and will then come to
me.
The people then murmured at him, because he said, I am the bread which
came down from heaven. They said, “isn’t this Yahshuah the (craftsman, skilled
fabricator with many objects) , the son of Joseph the whose mother we know?
How can he say, he returned from heaven?”
“And he will come up like a tender plant before one, and like a root out of a
waterless ground. No stately form does he have nor any attraction; and when
we will see him, there is not appearance of beauty so that we should desire him”.
Is.53:2
Wisdom was the root from heaven planted among the glorious people.
Yahshuah answered, “Do not murmur among yourselves. Every man
therefore that has heard, and learned of Father, will come to me and I will raise
him up on the Resurrection Day. ( John 6:45).
No one has seen Father, but me. Whoever believes (unites with, loves, and
obeys) me, has everlasting Zoë- life.
I am Father’s wisdom fleshed out. I am that bread of life. I am his words, the
living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats this wisdom/bread, he
will live forever. The bread that I will give is my flesh (my teaching), which I will
give so people can have Zoë-life.”
Now the people were incensed, saying, “How can this man give us his flesh to
eat?”
Then Yahshuah said, “Except you continue to gnaw on the flesh (hear the
words) of this mortal, the Messiah, and drink his blood (obey the words), you will
have no life in you. Whoever continues to chew my flesh (wisdom), and drinks
my blood (lovingly obeys my torah) has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the
Resurrection Day. For (my words), my flesh, is meat indeed, and my blood (my
teaching) is drink indeed. He that eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, (hears my
words and obeys them) dwells in me, and I in him. As the living Eloah has sent
me, and I live by Father, so he that eats me (my words), even he will live by me.
This teaching is Father’s wisdom/bread, which came down from heaven; it is
spirit- Zoë bread, not like the physical Manna your dead ancestors ate in the
desert. Whoever eats this spirit-Zoë bread, will live forever.)
Not that any man hath Yah, save he which is of Yah (me), I have seen the
Father. (Jn.6:46)
Many of his disciples, when they had heard him say this, said, “This is
disgusting, who can take it?”
152
Moses said in Leviticus 17:14,
I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh:
for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.
Yahshuah said, “Listen one last time, it is the spirit that gives life, the flesh
cannot give life. The words that I speak to you, they are spirit, and they give life.
But I know that no matter how clearly I state it, some of you will refuse to
believe.”
When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto
them, Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see this mortal (son of man:
literally “the son of the human) ascend up where he was (taken once) before? It
is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak
unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. (John 6:61)
He knew from the beginning who would not believe, and who would betray
him. That is why I said “no one can come to me, except it is given to him by
Father.”
These were the things he said in the synagogue in Kefer Nahum that
morning. After that, many of his early disciples turned back, and stopped
following him.
Then he asked the Twelve apostles, “Will you leave me too?”
Peter said: “Master where could we possibly go? You have the words of zoe
life. We believe and are sure that you are the Messiah, the holy one, the son of
the living Eloah.”
“Yes you are my special chosen twelve, but one of you has gone over to the
side of the enemy”. He was referring to Judas (Yahudah the Moabite from
Keriot).
After that day, wherever he went into villages, or cities, he found the sick
people lined up in the streets and as he passed by, all they had to do was reach
out and touch his garment as he passed, instantly they were healed.

Unclean Hands and ritually unclean Foods Do Not Defile You Mrk. 7
Certain rogues in the Pharisee party, along with some rogues among the
Scribes (the trained Experts in the Mosaic Law) came from Yerushalayim to find
some sin in him. They decided it was because his followers did not wash their
hands a certain way before they ate. They asked Yahshuah, “Why do your
disciples not follow the Tradition of the Elders (Takanot) when it comes to
washing their hands?”
(The Elders had a very elaborate system of washings. They had a special
way to wash pots, cups, tables, vessels, beds and hands, etc. They were
fanatical about proper washings. They insisted you had to hold your hands like
153
fists when you washed them, and taught that the ritual came from Yah himself
and was established as laws by the Oral Torah.)
Yahshuah asked, “Why do you Pharisees, and Mosaic Law Experts, choose
to follow the Traditions of the Elders over the commandments of Yah? Father
said, execute anyone who dishonors his parents.
Ex.21:17 And one that calls down evil upon his father and his mother is to be
put to death without fail.
However, for a bribe, you have a tradition that will let anyone wiggle out of
their duty to care for their aged parents.
You merely slip a priest some money, and then you tell your parents that you
made a Korban (sacrifice) to Yah, and your duty to them is fulfilled. Then you
avoid them until they die and then you come around looking for an inheritance.
Is it not the dividing of your bread out to the hungry ones, and that you
should bring the afflicted, homeless people into [your] house? That in case you
should see someone naked, you must cover him, and that you should not hide
yourself from your own flesh (and blood and bones relatives) (Is.58:7).
You hypocrites, you were the ones Isaiah was talking about when he said,
This people draws nigh to me with their mouths, and honors me with their
lips; but their hearts are far from me. In vain, they worship me, teaching for
doctrines the commandments of men.
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people,
even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall
perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. (Isaish 29:13)
.
Mark 7:9 Further, he went on to say to them: Adroitly, YOU set aside the
commandment of God, in order to retain your own tradition.
Mark 7:13 and that is the way YOU make the word of God invalid by YOUR
tradition, which YOU handed down. And many things similar to this YOU do.
As he was speaking a crowd had gathered, Yahshuah said, “Hear, and get
the meaning. Let it sink down into your ears. But before you can hear, you must
do. If anyone will do what I command, he will know whether the doctrine is from
Yah or it is from me. In the Scroll of Exodus 24:7 the ancients said :
“We will do and we will hear.
O inexperienced ones, understand wisdom; and, you stupid ones, understand
in your heart (mind). ( Pv.8:5)
It is not what goes into your mouth that defiles you it is what comes out. By
saying this, he made all banned foods ceremonially clean. (Mark 7:19 )
His disciples later said to him, “the Pharisees were offended by what you
said.”
He answered, “Every plant, which Father has not planted, will be rooted up.
154
Leave them alone; they are blind leaders of the blind, and if the blind lead the
blind, both will fall into a ditch.
Peter asked him to explain the riddle about what goes into the mouth. He
said, “Food goes into the mouth, then out of the body, and into the privy (place of
urination and defecation). Ritually unclean Food does not defile you, or eating
with dirty hands. However, what comes out of the mouth is what comes out of the
mind and heart.
It is written: The heart is more devious than all else; it is perverse -who can
understand it? I, Yah, search the heart and examine the mind to reward each
according to his ways according to the fruit of his deeds. From the Dead Sea
Scrolls Ezek 17:9
Out of an evil mind and heart come impure thoughts, thoughts of murders,
adulteries, fornications, thefts, lies, pride, foolishness, greed, cynicism, envy, and
blasphemies And abusive speech. Those are the things which defile a person,
but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile you. (Mt.15:18)
By reading Ezekiel ,and Mt.15:18, one gets the impression that ever
heart is evil, but Yahshuah goes on to distinguishes between evil hearts
and good hearts.
“A good person brings good out of the treasure of good things in his heart; a
bad person brings bad out of his treasure of bad things. For the mouth speaks
what the heart is full of.” Luke 6:45
Yahshuah and his followers left the Galil and journeyed again into Gentile
Territory to the coasts of Tzar and Tzidon.
It was here that Jezebel established Ball worship in Israel. Josephus
says they were bitter enemies of the Jews.
Yahshuah was trying to stay hidden, but it was no use. A CanaanitePhoenician woman who spoke Syriac and followed the Greek mystery religions
found him, but he refused to see her. He told his followers his mission was only
to the Lost Sheep of Israel at that time.
The sheep of prostituting from the house of Israel
(Peshitta Mt.15:23)
You have turned away from your Eloah, and have been unfaithful to him. All
over the land you have sold yourselves like prostitutes to the god Baal and have
loved the grain you thought he paid you with! (Hosea 9:1)
155
The woman pestered his disciples so much that they begged him to see her.
She came in and threw herself at his feet, saying, “Have mercy on me Adoni,
Son of David, my daughter is being tortured by a demon.”
Yahshuah said, “we Jews have a saying, it is not right to take food out of the
children’s mouths to feed the dogs.”
(The priests of the Mystery cults were called dogs because they served
as homosexual temple prostitutes, so he is not calling this woman a dog,
he would never be so cruel, he is be challenging her religion. She,
however, completely disarms him with her answer.)
The Canaanite woman replied, “Adoni, this is a good saying, but do not the
puppies get the crumbs that fall from the master’s table?”
With this amazing rejoinder the woman is saying, “If you Jews would
make the Word of Yah available to the non-Jews, they wouldn’t be forced
to go to the false religions”.
Yahshuah said, “O woman great is your faith. Because of your answer, I have
granted your wish. Go home the demon has gone out of your daughter. Such
great faith as yours is always rewarded.”
“She opens her mouth with wisdom (Pro 31:26)
“Death and Life are in the power of the tongue.” (Prov. 18:21)
“A wholesome tongue is a tree of life.”
(Pro 15:4)
When she returned home, her daughter was indeed delivered, and resting in
her bed. This was Yahshuah’s second time giving his healing Gospel to the
Non-Jews. We can assume that since the woman addressed Yahshuah as
Adoni she was switching her allegiance from Baal (her adonai) to Yah (as
her Adonai).
“He sent his word and healed them.” (Psalm 107:20)
From there they went back to the Galil and returned right to the middle of
Decapolis where he had be had cast out the demons, named “Legion” to do
another exorcism.
As they passed down the coast of the non-Jewish Decapolis region, a crowd
with a man who was deaf and stuttered met them. The people implored him to
heal a the man so he took him aside and first placed his fingers in his ears, then
put some spittle on the man’s tongue, and said, “open up.” immediately his ears
were opened, and he began speaking clearly. The people were astonished and
asked, “Is there anything he cannot do? He makes the deaf to hear and the
stutterer’s tongue straight.”
“Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be
unstopped”. (Is.35:5)
Isaiah goes on to say no gentiles will be part of the Messiah’s kingdom.
156
And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of
holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it.” (Is.35:8)
But Yahshuah turns this around and offers cleansing to the gentiles .
As he left he commanded them to keep it a secret, but they spread the news
far and wide.

Seven Loaves and a Few Fish
Mt. 15:34
When he reached the lake of Gennesaret, he climbed a nearby mount, and
many people came to him for healings. When they saw the dumb speak, the
maimed made whole, the lame walk, and the blind see, they glorified the Eloah of
Israel.
After three days, Yahshuah was worried about them, for he knew they
were out of food, and it was a long journey to the nearest village. He said, “I
want to help them. The Disciples asked, “But where will anyone be able to
find loaves to feed these people?” This event has been compared to Moses
feeding the Israelis in the wilderness, but Yahshuah is feeding gentiles.
Having seen Yahshuah multiply loaves before, the question sounds out of
place. And it was, for what is really being asked is, “Are you really going to
feed these non-Jews?” How could we possibly be giving manna to these
unclean gentiles?”
How many loaves of bread do we have?” They said, “Seven and a few fish.”
As he did when he fed the other group, he told them to sit on the ground in
groups, and he thanked Yah and passed the bread, and the fish to his disciples.
Then the disciples distributed them. About 7,000 people (4000 men, besides
women and children), ate that day; they had seven baskets of leftovers.

Yahshuah Refuses to Deal With the Miracle Seekers
Mrk. 8
The next morning, he sent them home, and he, and his followers, boarded a
ship, and came to the coasts of Magadan (Magdala) (Dalmanutha) near the town
of Tiberius on the Western side of the Lake. Some more rogues from the
Pharisee party met him and began pestering him for a miracle. He was weary
with this constant badgering for signs and wonders and let out a deep groan and
said, “Oy Ve! Why does this race always need a miracle before they can believe?
I will not give you a miracle.” They reboarded the ship and sailed back across to
the eastern shore of the Lake; the land of the Non-Jews.
100 The False Teachings of the Pharisees, Herodians, and Sadducees
Mt. 16
157
On the voyage, they realized they had not brought any bread. Yahshuah
said, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the
Herodians.” The disciples thought he was upset with them because they forgot
the bread. Yahshuah said, “Oh you “lacker’s of faith”, your faith is still so small.
Are your minds as dull as all the rest? I can make bread. You saw me make
bread for thousands, and you had baskets full of left over bread. The comment
about the leaven of the Pharisees, Herodians and Sadducees was not about
bread.” A light went on. Then they understood he was talking about the beliefs of
the three parties.


The Pharisees had added many of the traditions of the elders from the
oral tradition to their religion (halachah according to the Masoret HaZekenim)
and were teaching them as commandments from Yah. Yahshuah said
they were lovers of money. They taught that the soul was immortal.
They believed in endless eternal punishment. Yahshuah always
described them as having an outward show of holiness, but inwardly
they were greedy hypocrites and lovers of money. They were zealous
laymen and in the Gospels are the Galil region. They were the only
group to survive the Roman wars and eventually became the Rabbis
who have ruled over the Jews ever since.
The Sadducees, who ran the temple, and the priesthood, were not even
Jews, they were Edomites. They were fierce about Capital punishment.
They denied an afterlife, and did not believe in angels, or demons. They
loved all things Greek: arts, music, drama, sculpture, and poetry.
“For the Greeks the circumcision practiced by the Arabs and Jews was a
profanation of the living temple wherein the immortal soul dwells.
Mutilation of the human temple constituted despicable conduct and
bizarre sacrilege. Moreover, in Hellenistic culture the open display,
such as in the games or in the public baths, of a mutilated sex organ
exposing the glands penis was obscene. To the Greek mind such
behavior was lewd and indecent.” For this reason many Sadducees had
an operation to make it look like they had not been circumcised, so they
could participate in the games which the Greeks played in the nude.
Homosexuality was a well-accepted pattern of behavior in Greek
culture. The games, such as those at Olympia, promoted homosexuality
and cultic activity, the classical academies included homosexual
philosophical apprenticeships, and the military utilized homosexual
erotic apprenticeships to foster formation of close-knit teams of
warriors. Semitic peoples, observant of such customs and particularly of
Greek males satiating themselves with homosexual acts with boys and
practicing anal intercourse with their wives, regarded them as unclean,
barbaric pedophiles, and sodomites.” (Retrieved from
http://www.bibarch.com/ArchaeologicalSites/Decapolis.htm Nov. 18,
2007).
158
The Pharisees which means “separatists” had separated from the
Sadducees and for the above reasons were almost in open warfare with
them. The Sadducees, in turn, negated all the teachings of the
Pharisees.

The Herodians were also Sadducees, but with a particular loyalty to the
Herod dynasty. They loved all things Greek and Roman. One of the
marks of the Messiah would be the restoration of the Temple.
Yahshuah moved the temple to the human body. Herod made a massive
restoration of the physical Temple. He was delusional and imagined he
was the Messiah. He also was a pretender to the throne and bore the tile
“King of the Jews”, but no one but the Herodians accepted his title. He
was an incestuous adulterer, having married his niece who was already
married. There is also a hint of pedophilia with Salome his
stepdaughter.
A Word About Stoicism
“Stoicism became the foremost popular philosophy among the
educated elite in the Greco-Roman Empire, to the point where, in the
words of Gilbert Murray, "nearly all the successors of Alexander
professed themselves Stoics.” (Gilbert Murray, The Stoic Philosophy
(1915), p.25. In Bertrand Russell, History of Western Philosophy (1946).
That means the Herodians and Sadducees would have been Stoics. To
understand their Leaven we must know something about Stoicism. The
Stoics were Pantheists. They believed the Logos (Reason) was the God
of the Cosmos and that God had a body, the cosmos itself. Everything
was God and God was everything, and everything was made of fire. It’s
because of the Stoics, who were Platonists, that the idea of an immortal
soul infected Christianity. The Hebrews did not believe man possessed
a soul. They believed when a man died his body returned to the dust of
the earth and his breath returned to Yah. That’s why it said the
Sadducees did not believe in life after death. But, Yahshuah taught that
on the last day, he would resurrect the just to Zoe life and the wicked to
a state of pain followed by annihilation. The Stoics were fatalists
believing everything was predetermined, there was no free will, and you
could not fool fate. Traces of Buddhism appear in Stocism: “to eliminate
suffering, eliminate desires. Disregard poverty and riches, sickness and
health, happiness or sadness, rise above all emotions.”
Yahshuah says do not follow the traditions, commandments, or
philosophies of the Hellenized Herodians (Edomites), or the Hellenized
Sadducees, they are all false teachings that will lead you away from the
Kingdom of Yah.
101
A Blind Man is Healed and Told not to Tell Anyone
Mrk. 8:24
159
When they came to Beit-Tzaidah, the crowd brought a blind man to him for
healing. Yahshuah took him by the hand, led him to a private place outside the
village, and rubbed clay mixed with spittle on his eyes. With his hands on him he
asked, “Do you see anything?”
“I see men like trees walking.” Yahshuah now placed his hands on the man’s
eyes and when he removed them, the blind man could see clearly. Yahshuah
said, “Do not go into the town, or tell anyone in the town.”
For this man the town was a source of temptation. There has been many
a country boy, and country girl, blinded, and ruined by big city life.
Yahshuah has been compared to Elisha who multiplied bread, and
raised a boy from the dead. But Yahshuah was greater than Elisha for
Elisha caused blindness to come upon the gentiles and Yahshuah removed
the blindness from the gentiles in a healing and now on returning to Judah
finds another blind man. He is showing that the Jews were also blind. He
has come to give sight to both Jews and non-Jews.
102
The Rock and the Keys of the Kingdom
Mt. 16
When they were going through the Caesar-Philippi region near Mount
Hermon,
Yahshuah did nothing by coincidence. Mount Hermon is where the
fallen sons of Yah (angels) descended to the earth and fathered the giants
(Anakim). It was the true Mount Zion as defined by Moses.
"And they possessed his [Sihon's] land, and the land of Og king of Bashan,
two kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Jordan toward the sun rising;
From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river Arnon, even unto Mount Zion,
which is Hermon" (Deut. 4:47,48).
Mount Hermon was where the evil sons of Yah began their work and
where the good Son of Yah begins his. The Nephilim (fallen angels) taught
humans the practice of hallucinogenic drug use, war, and sexual
deviations, cannibalism, and human sacrifice. It was here that the Tribe of
Dan reinstituted angel worship when they broke away from Judah.
A marble statue of Aphrodite, the Roman mother goddess, was
unearthed there in the 20th Century.
It is exactly here on the true Mount Zion where Yahshuah revealed
himself to the Apostles as the Messiah, the first human to become a son of
Yah.
I will place salvation in Zion for Israel my glory. (Is. 46:13)
I will also give you for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation
160
unto the end of the earth. (Is.49:6)
Yahshuah asked his followers, “Who do people say I am?”
They answered, “Some think you are a reincarnation of John, the Baptizer,
others say Elijah, or Jeremiah, or one of the early prophets.”
“But who do you say I am?”
Peter said, “You are the Messiah, the mortal son of the one and only living
Eloah.”
Yahshuah answered, “Happy are you, Peter for flesh and blood has not
revealed this knowledge to you, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say
also unto you, That thou art Peter (a pebble) son of Yonah (a dove), upon this
rock (Petra) I will build my church (called out ones); and the gates of hell (land
of death) shall not prevail against it". (Matthew 16:15-18)
Once again, our English language has made it more difficult to
understand this passage translated from the Greek which rendered it from
Hebrew thought.
Peter is Kefa in Hebrew, it means pebble. Peter in Greek is Petros and
means a small rock. Yahshuah is not building on a pebble, or small rock,
but on a Petra which means a massive cliff (tsuwr in Hebrew)
The tsuwr in Israel was Yah



"Who is a rock except Yah?" (Ps 18:31)
"Thou art my father and the rock of my salvation." (Ps.89:26)
"Yah is my rock" (Ps. 18:2)
Blessed art thou Pebble for my father (the Tsuwr/rock) has revealed this
to you and upon this Tsuwr/rock (my father) I will build my assembly of
called out ones when I call them out of their graves. The gates of the grave
will not be able to hold them back. So Yahshuah is saying, one must hear
and obey the Father's words and live like a dove to be united with the
Father.
"O my dove thou art in the cleft of the rock." (Solomon 2:14)
Pebble, the son of a dove, did find his place in the Rock. He opened his
ears. He heard, believed, and obeyed the voice of Yah and on the
Resurrection day he will be the first name called to come out of the grave.
At that time the invisible church will become visible.
Peter you are the first of my followers to grasp this knowledge of who I am. It
is a foundational key to the Kingdom of Yah. I am giving you other keys as well
not so you can rule over others, but you are to take these keys to the whole
world. Teach this knowledge to all who wish to be unbound. Loose them.
Whoever rejects the Gospel, you leave locked on earth and they will remain
161
locked in the eyes of heaven and whoever you unlock on the earth, will be
unlocked in the eyes of heaven.
The rogue Pharisees and Mosaic Law Experts (Lawyers) were rebuked
by Yahshuah for not using the Keys; particularly the Key of Knowledge
Woe to “you Pharisees and Mosaic Law Experts, you hypocrites, I have come
as the door to Adonai, but by not acknowledging me, you have taken the key of
knowledge and locked the door to the Kingdom of Yah, so that not only you
cannot go through, but also no one else can go through either. You slam the door
in their faces.”
After the resurrection, Yahshuah breathed on the Apostles and told
them they too were now invested with the mission of unlocking others.
With the keys comes a tremendous responsibility for whomsoever you
leave locked here, will stay locked. In other words, try to open the door for
everyone that shows an interest. But do not waste time with the
disinterested, they have locked themselves.
The Keys of the Kingdom
according to Robert Roberg’s understanding:
Keys are doors. I see four locked doors between humans and the
kingdom:
1. The Door of Sin takes two keys:
Key 1# If you forgive others the father will forgive you.
Key 2# Before you ask Father to forgive you, go try and fix your
past. That’s the key of repentance.
2. The Second Door is the Love/Hate Door
Love the Father
Love the son
Love all people
Love your enemies (you must lay down your arms to pass
through the love door)
You must hate your Psyche life in this world. You are to love
people and your own self, but you must hate the world life and what
the world tempts you with: family, country, success, power etc. You
must hate whatever it is in your life that desires the world and it’s
stuff. The smallest love for the world breaks the love connection with
father.
162
3. The Third Door is Knowledge.
I call this Peter’s Key. You must not take anything away or add
anything to Peter’s revelation. Yahshuah is the Messiah and the son
of Yah.
Simon Peter answered, "You are the Messiah, the Son of the living
God." (Mt.16:16)
4. The Fourth Door is the Door of Revelation
No human can give you revelations. Revelations come only from the
father through his son and through his Pure Spirit. Yahshuah blew on the
Apostles and baptized them with the Paraclete (the Pure spirit). The Pure
Spirit is available to everyone who has passed through the previous doors
and petitions the Father for it. Ask and you shall receive.
Wisdom “is the breath of Yah, and an emanation of the pure shokeyn of the
Almighty. Therefore nothing defiled gains entrance into it for it is a reflection of
eternal light and a spotless mirror of the activity of Yah and an image of his
goodness.” (Wisdom of Solomon 7:25-26 Septuagint.)
Then he commanded his disciples to tell no one that he was the Messiah. I
must suffer terribly and be rejected by the rogue leaders of our nation, the rogue
Mosaic Law Experts, and the rogue High Priests. I will be executed, but three
days later, I will rise from the dead.
On hearing this, Peter began to rebuke him, saying, “May Yah have mercy on
you, no Adoni, we must not let this happen to you.” Yahshuah turned to him and
said, “Get away from me. Are you in league with Azazel? You are talking like
someone who loves the world more than he loves Father. If you wish to follow
me, you must give up your worldly plans and be willing to be hung in a tree. For
whosoever will save his life, will lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my
sake, will find it.
Faithful N.T. - “But whoever seeks to save his psyche-life will lose it, and
whoever loses [it] will make it Zoë-alive.” (Lk.16:33)
For what will it profit you, if you will gain the whole world, and lose your own
(Psyche) life? What will you give in exchange for your psyche life?
Mt.16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get you behind me, Satan: thou art
an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of Yah, but those
that be of men. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross (torture stake), and follow me. For
whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my
sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world,
and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
I, this mortal, the Messiah will come in the Shokeyn Glory of Father with his
angels to reward everyone according to their, thoughts, words and deeds.
163
Mt. 16:27 For this mortal shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels;
and then he shall reward every man according to his works.
When righteousness shall be manifested in the presence of the righteous
themselves, who will be elected for their good works duly weighed by Yah the
Eloah of the Tsebaoth of spirits; Enoch 38:2)
Moreover, some of you standing here will not taste of death, until you see the
beginning of Father’s Kingdom coming with power.
Mt.16:28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not
taste of death, till they see this mortal coming in his kingdom.
Mark 8:31 Also, he started teaching them: that This mortal must undergo
torture and beatings and be rejected by the rogue leaders and the rogue chief
priests (Gamaliel and Shammai) and rogue scribes and be killed, and rise three
days later. This was so shocking that Peter took him aside, and started rebuking
him. He turned, looked at his disciples and said to Peter: Get behind me, Satan,
because you are not thinking Yah’s thoughts, but the those of men. You are
blinded by your love of the fallen world.
Mark 8:35 For whoever wants to save his will lose it; but whoever loses his
psyche life for my sake and the Gospel, will save it. Really, of what benefit is it
for a man to gain the whole world and lose his own zoe life? What, really,
would a man give in exchange for his zoe life? (Zoe means eternal or everlasting
life) .
For whoever becomes ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and
sinful generation, this mortal will also be ashamed, of him when he arrives in
the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
De.32:5 They have acted ruinously on their own part; they are not his
children, the defect is their own. A generation crooked and twisted!
The Kingdom came when he was crowned and placed on his throne the torture. When he said it is finished, Azazel’s kingdom fell and
Yahshuah’s began.
103
The Vision of Moses and Elijah
Mrk. 9
Several days later, he took Peter, Yahchanan (John) and Yah-kov up on a
mountain to pray. They each found a quiet spot and the Apostles grew sleepy. As
they were praying, Yahshuah began to glow with a dazzling white light.
And the sons of Israel saw Moses face, that the skin of Moses' face emitted
rays: Ex.34:35
164
In the bright light, the Apostles saw two men talking to Yahshuah. It was
Moses and Elijah instructing him about his death in Yerushalayim. When the visit
was ending and Moses and Elijah had departed, Yahshuah walked to the
Apostles and said, “Do not be afraid,” for they were lying on their faces shaking.
When he touched Peter, Peter said, “Master what a great blessing this has been.
We should build three shrines here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for
Elijah.”
Suddenly a cloud over shadowed them and a voice came out of the cloud,
“This is my chosen one, the Messiah,
Listen only to him, follow only him, and obey only him.
I call myself a Red Letter Christian which means I only base my Torah
on the words of Yahshuah. His Gospel is my guiding light and no other. I
read every Biblically related book I can but only form my doctrine on what
Yahshuah taught. He is my only master, teacher, rabbi, messiah.
104 The Angel that Spoke Through Elijah, Spoke Through John
Mt. 17
As they were coming down the mountain, Yahshuah commanded them not to
tell anyone what they had seen, until after he would rise from the dead. They told
no one, but questioned each other about what he meant about rising from the
dead.
They asked him, “Why do the Mosaic Law Experts say that Elijah must come
and restore all things before the Messiah comes?”
Yahshuah answered, “The same spirit (Angel) that spoke through Elijah
spoke through John, the Baptizer, so the Elijah angel did return. Wicked men
tortured, and killed John, the Baptizer, and, they will torture and kill me.”
(Mt.17:1)
The Rite of the Sacred Sun King
According to Sir James Frazier, in The Golden Bough, this is the oldest
pagan ritual on the earth found in almost every culture (except Judaism).
In the spring a youth is chosen in an athletic event and crowned as the
Sun King. He spend the Spring, Summer and Fall lying with women in the
fields to guarantee fertility of the wombs and crops. When the sun enters
the constellation of the Scorpion on a full moon night, his heel is pierced,
so he hobbles, horns are attached to his head, and he is hunted by the
women who devour him with their teeth, and drink his blood. His testicles
and penis are brought to a sacred grove where they are hung in a sacred
tree. At the winter solstice he is said to be reborn and will be identified the
next Spring.
165
Although every effort has been made to link Yahshuah with the Sun
King, including celebrating his birthday on Dec.25th, he was not a Sun King.
It is written in the Scroll of Joel And it shall come to pass afterwards [that]
I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.
Yea, even upon the bondmen and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour
out my Spirit. And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth, blood,
and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be changed to darkness, and the
moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of Yah comes. And it shall be
that whosoever shall call upon the name of Yah shall be saved: for in mount
Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Yah has said, and for the residue
(small flock) whom Yah shall call. Joel 2:28-31
105
I Believe, Help my Unbelief
Mrk. 9
When they reached the plain where his disciples were waiting, they saw a
large crowd and some Mosaic Law Experts were arguing with his followers.
The crowd would have been non-Jews and we can assume the Lawyers
were arguing about the apostles interacting with the goyim (gentiles). The
fact that these Lawyers were so far north in gentile country indicates that
they were tracking Yahshuah looking for a reward, if they could catch him
doing something that violated the Law.
When the crowd saw Yahshuah, they were surprised and ran to him. A man
came out of the crowd, fell at his feet and begged,
“Have mercy on my son, my only son, he is a lunatic and is being tortured by
an (angel) demon. Whenever it seizes him, it shakes him and tears him. He
gnashes his teeth, foams at the mouth and refuses to eat. Sometimes it throws
him on the ground and it looks like someone is kicking him, or hitting him, bruises
appear all over his body. I brought him to your disciples, but they cannot help
him.”
Yahshuah replied,
O race of Skeptics (Apistos) and Cynics (Diastrepho), how long will your
cause me to suffer? Bring me your son. (Mt.17:17)
Pyrrho, another ancient Greek, is considered the father of Skepticism.
Pyrrho said no one can make a claim to truth. Logic is unreliable and
absolute Truth and falsity are uncertain. This is the bedrock of what we call
Postmodernism today. If no one can claim anything certain about the truth
then the Skeptic is forced to admit he cannot make the claim that truth is
166
unknowable. To say there is no absolute truth is exactly the kind of
statement the skeptic says is absolutely impossible to make.
The philosophy of Cynicism was extremely popular among the Romans.
Much like modern day hippies, they rarely bathed, renounced all wealth,
society and familial obligations and professed to find happiness by being
virtuous which meant living in accord with nature. They were against the
temples and the Olympics. They were the earliest anarchists. They believed
that all men were brothers, and were against war. They also believed in the
legitimacy of suicide and free love.
They were called “dogs” (kuon). Diogenes the Greek who is deemed the
Father of Cynicism had a dog inscribed on his tombstone. The dog of
course may have marked them as priests in the goddess cult.
“There is no new thing under the sun.” (Eccles.1:9)
When the (angel) demon saw Yahshuah, it threw the boy to the ground and
tore him and the young man wallowed on the ground and foamed at the mouth.
Yahshuah asked the father, “How long has he had the (angel) demon?” He
said, “Since he was a child. It often throws him into fires, and into deep waters,
trying to destroy him. Please have compassion on us, and help us.”
Yahshuah said to him,” If you can believe, all things are possible to him
that believes.”
The father sobbed with tears, and said, “Adoni, I believe, help me where I
don’t believe.”
When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul
(angel) demon, saying, “You dumb and deaf (angel) demon, I command you to
come out of him, and enter him no more. “
The (angel) demon screamed and tore him fiercely, and came out of him, and
the boy lay as still as a dead man. Many people said,” He is dead.”
Yahshuah took him by the hand, and lifted him up, and he arose. The crowd
was awe struck to see the Father’s power in action.
104
Some (angel) demons are Hard to Cast Out Mrk. 9:29
105
Later that night, they were in a house, the disciples asked him; “You gave us
power to cast out (angel) demons, so why could we not we cast out that (angel)
demon?”
106
167
“Some will only go out through an Intense prayer life,” he said. “Listen
carefully and remember what I am about to say, I, this mortal, the Messiah, will
be handed over to evil men, they will kill me, but on the third day I will rise from
the dead.”
This news made them very sorrowful. They did not really understand what he
meant, but they were afraid to ask him. Later they would understand.
107
Tithes are not Required
Mt. 17
When they returned to Kefer Nahum, the temple tribute-collectors came
around collecting the annual temple poll tax ( a half a shekel for each one). They
asked Peter “Is your Rabbi planning to pay his temple tribute?” Peter said, “of
course.” Then he went into the house to confer with Yahshuah.
Yahshuah asked him, “Do the Kings of the earth make their children pay
taxes or only make strangers pay?”
Peter said, “They only collect tribute and fees from strangers.”
That is right. Therefore, the children are free. (Therefore, Father does not
require his children to pay tithes, poll taxes, or any taxes). However, in this
case it is wiser to pay an unjust tax, and not provoke evil doers. Go down to the
dock, and cast in your line, and Father will provide our tax money. (Mt.17:25)
So Peter took his fishing pole and went down to the dock. The first fish he
pulled in, had a gold coin in its mouth, and with it, he paid the tax for Yahshuah,
and all his followers.
108
How to Treat Children
Mt. 18
Yahshuah called the twelve Apostles into the house and asked, “When we
were traveling on the road I heard some disputing, what was it about?”
They were silent, for they had been arguing about who was the greatest
among them. Yahshuah went to the door and called in a toddler, who was
playing in the yard, and held him in his arms, and said,
“Unless you become like a little toddler, you will never enter Father’s
Kingdom. Whoever humbles himself like this little tyke, will be the greatest.
Whoever cares for, and guides, little children in my name, receives me and
Father.
Mt.18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as
little children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of the Heavens. Whosoever
168
therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the
Kingdom of the Heavens. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my
name receiveth me.
Mark 9:37 Whosoever shall receive one of such children in my name, receiveth
me: and whosoever shall receive me, receiveth not me, but him that sent me.
Woe to the world because of sin. Woe to anyone who abuses a child. It would
be better for him to have a millstone, such as is turned by an ass, hung around
his neck, and that he was drowned in the depths of the sea.
Mt. 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it
were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he
were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because offences! for it
must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence
cometh!
Do not think Father does not see. He has appointed each person a guardian
angel, and through their eyes, sees everything.
18:10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you,
That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in
heaven.
So, if your feet continually lead you to sin, cut them off. It is better to crawl
through this life, sin free, than to march with both feet into the pit of annihilation
full of fire and maggots.
If your hands continually cause you to sin, chop them off. It is better to go
through life with no hands, than to end up in the dark pit of annihilation full of fire
and maggots.
If your eyes continually cause you to sin, gouge them out. It is better to grope
through this life, sin free, in the dark, than to end up in the dark pit of annihilation
full of fire and maggots. (Mt.18:8)
I, this mortal, the Messiah, have come to save that which was lost.
109
How to Deal with Offensive People
Mt. 18
They sat in shameful silence for a while, Then Peter said, “Master, we met a
man who was casting out (angel) demons in your name. We told him not to use
your name because he is not a regular in our group of followers. Did we do the
right thing?”
Do not stop anyone from using my name. If anyone sees miracles attached to
my name, they will not speak evil of me, and will not be against me, but for me. If
169
anyone gives even so much as a cup of cold water in my name, Father will
reward him or her.
Where two or three are gathered in my name, I will be in the midst of them.
"If a fellow believer hurts you, go and tell him--work it out between the two
of you. If he listens, you've made a friend. If he won't listen, take one or two
others along so that the presence of witnesses will keep things honest, and try
again.” (Mat 18:15)
“Admonish your friend--he may not have done it; and if he did, that he may
not do it again. Admonish your neighbor--he may not have said it; and if he did,
that he may not say it again. Admonish your friend--often it may be slander;
every story you must not believe. Then, too, a man can slip and not mean it; who
has not sinned with his tongue? Admonish your neighbor before you break with
him; thus will you fulfill the law of the Most High.” (Sirach 19:12)
“It is much better to admonish than to lose one's temper, for one who admits
his fault will be kept from disgrace.” (Sirach 20: 2)
Make thy speech fair and sweeten thy tongue; and permit not thy companion to
tread on thy foot, lest he tread at another time on thy breast. (Haiqar 2:35)
Peter asked, “Adoni, if my brother continues to sin against me, how many
times shall I forgive him? Seven times?”
“No Peter, not seven times, but seventy times seven times.”
But what if my brother still continues to offend me?
Speak to him and reprove him.
Moses wrote: You should by all means reprove your associate, that you may
not bear sin along with him. Lv.19:17
One shall not speak to his brother in anger or in resentment, or with a stiff
neck or a hard heart or a wicked spirit; one shall not hate him in the folly of his
heart. In his days he shall reprove him and shall not bring upon him iniquity;
and also a man shall not bring against his neighbor a word before the rulers
without having rebuked him before witnesses. From the Damascus Document
found among the Dead Sea Scrolls (op. cit., p. 358)
Moreover, if he still refuses to repent, tell it to the civil leaders of the village,
but if he refuses to listen to the community leaders, then have nothing to do with
him, but love him as an enemy, like a heathen, or someone who collects taxes
for a false god.
How did Jesus say to treat the gentiles and tax collectors? You go
among them as a kind, gentle, physician among the sick; offering healing.
170
Whatever you will bind on earth, will be bound in heaven, and whatever you
will loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. If you are walking in Father’s will,
and if two of you will agree on a worthy petition, it will be done for you by Father
110
The Kingdom is Like a Merciful King Mt. 18
Father’s Kingdom is like a certain King, who decided to collect what his
servants owed him. One came, who owed him ten thousand gold pieces.
He could not to pay, so the King ordered him to be sold, along with his wife,
and children, and all his possessions.
The servant fell down at his feet, and begged him sobbing, Adoni, have
patience with me, and I will pay you all.”
The King felt compassion, and forgave him the entire debt.
Later that day, the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow
servants, who owed him one hundred gold pieces. He grabbed him by the throat
and said, “Pay me what you owe me now.”
His fellow servant fell down at his feet, and begged him, sobbing, “Have
patience with me, and I will pay you all.”
However, he showed him no mercy and cast him into prison, until he should
pay the entire debt.
When the other servants saw what had happened, they were very sorrowful,
and reported to the King what they had seen and heard.
Therefore, the King called for the first servant and said, “O you wicked
servant, I forgave you your entire debt, when you cried for mercy. Your debt was
large. However, you have refused to show mercy to someone who owed you a
debt that was very small. Shouldn’t those who receive mercy, show mercy?”
The King was very angry, and sent him to the torturers in the dungeon until he
could pay his entire debt.
Father is like this King, he forgives you, but if you from your hearts do not
forgive everyone who sins against you, he will recall his forgiveness, and you will
have to pay and you will not come out until your debt is paid in full.
Should a man nourish anger against his fellows and expect healing from Yah?
Should a man refuse mercy to his fellows, yet seek pardon for his own sins?
(Sirach 28: 3 )
111
Yahshuah Goes to the Hanukkah Feast in Secret
Jn. 7
Yahshuah’s blood brothers dressed in festive clothing, singings songs and
carrying palm branches stopped in Kefer Nahum to invite him to make the Aliyah
(a pilgrimage, to ascend, to go up) to Yerushalayim for the Hanukkah festival.)
171
Yahshuah would not make the Aliyah to such a feast for several
reasons:









Hanukkah had no scriptural basis. The Book of Maccabees is not in
the Hebrew Scriptures. So it isn't a Biblical feast, but a man made
feast.
Hanukkah replaced the original Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkoth)
moving it three months off, calling it "the Sukkot of Chislev" and was
transferred from September to December (2 Macc.1:9& 18) and (2
Macc.10:5-8) thus breaking the Law of Moses.
Hanukkah was based on a fire festival -the winter solstice
(Saturnalia).
The Maccabees replaced the temple 7-branched Menorah with a
pagan 9-branched one. Nine was the number of the mother goddess
(pregnancy lasts 9 months).
Yahshuah knew the Hanukkah miracle was a lie. They said that a
one-day supply of oil lasted 8 days. It is not mentioned anywhere in
scripture not even in the Books of the Maccabees.
Hanukkah was celebrating terrorists (the Hasmonean family) who
stole the throne of David, and stole the Priesthood of Zaddock
They sanctioned military action on Sabbaths, becoming Sabbath
breakers.
They killed 100,000 of their countrymen for being, or in many cases,
suspected of being Greek sympathizers.
Hanukkah focused on the temple so the feast was presided over by
the Sadducees (Edomites) who had slaughtered thousands of
Pharisees.
Yahshuah’s brothers, who were disbelievers at that time, mocked him saying,
“You will never be a great Rabbi if you do your miracles in secret. Come and
make the Aliyah Leregel (pilgrimage) to Yerushalayim and show the world what
you have.” They did not believe in him.
Yahshuah replied. “My season has not come, for you it’s always the party
season. You go, you will fit right in. If I go, they will try to kill me. For I show the
world how evil its deeds really are” Therefore, his brothers went on their way
beating drums and singing. Later, Yahshuah took a back road and went to
Yerushalayim in secret, (not to celebrate the festival but to renounce it).
112 Yahshuah Rebukes the Crowd at the Shameful Hanukkah Feast
Jn. 7
Many people at the festival were hoping to see Yahshuah and were asking,
“Where is he? Has anyone seen him?” Everyone had an opinion about him.
Some said he was a good man and others said he was a fake and a deceiver.
Nevertheless, no one spoke too loudly for all were afraid of the rogues who had
taken over the priesthood and the Senate.
172
On the third day, Yahshuah revealed himself. He appeared in the Temple and
began teaching. The people who heard him marveled. “How did this humble
Galilean learn to read, and speak so well? He has never been to the Temple
school here in Yerushalayim.”
Yahshuah said, “The words that are coming out of my mouth, are not my own.
Father is speaking through me.
If anyone loves Father, he will understand the words, and know that they are
not mine. If a man speaks words that glorify himself you know that he is a false
prophet, but if a man speaks, words that continually glorify Father, you know he
is a true prophet and a righteous man. You say you believe in the Law of Moses,
yet none of you obeys it. The Law of Moses said you must not kill an innocent,
righteous man, but many of you standing here want to kill me.
Those in the crowd who wanted to kill him shouted, “No one wants to kill you,
you must be possessed by a demon (shed) of paranoia.”
“Those who want to kill me, remember that I came here on a Sabbath, and
healed a man. They are enraged saying I broke the Sabbath. Moses gave you
circumcision, actually it was the Zaqen (the elders), and the priests circumcise
men on the Sabbath making them less whole, but you do not accuse them of
working on Sabbath. If they can cut away part of a man and make him less
whole, without breaking the Law, why could I not make a man completely whole
without breaking the Law? Do not any of you have a proper sense of judgment?
Stop judging by appearances, and get right to the heart of a thing.
Is.11:3 . And he will not judge by any mere appearance to his eyes, nor
reprove simply according to the thing heard by his ears.
36:8 Before hearing, answer not, and interrupt no one in the middle of his
speech.
The Greeks were disgusted by circumcision seeing it as mutilation and
tried to ban it in Israel. Yahshuah’s comment that it makes a man less
whole implies his rejection of it. Surely in the age of worshipping Yah in
Spirit, there is no place for this external practice. He also says it did not
come from Abraham, but from the elders. Yahshuah fought against the
teachings of the elders which were man-made laws. His question to the
crowd was “Why do you allow others to work on the Sabbath to disfigure
men, but are full of bile against me for working on the Sabbath to restore
men?”
Someone in the crowd shouted. “It is true Yahshuah, I heard men plotting to
kill you, they are in this crowd hiding stones under their cloaks. However, as you
speak, they are cowering, and do not look so bold. Perhaps they know that some
of our elders are saying that you really are the Messiah.”
173
One of the rogues shouted, “When the Messiah comes no one will know
where he came from, but we know this man comes from the Galil. There are no
prophets from the Galil.”
Question: Why didn’t Yahshuah say, “I was born in Bethlehem?”
Answer: Yahshuah broke all connections with the House of David, line
of Judah. The Messiah came from the House of Virtue upheld by the seven
pillars of Wisdom.
Yahshuah said, “Yes you know where I grew up. However, what you do not
believe is that I am not here to promote myself. Father commissioned me and
commanded me to come here. He exists and he is real, but most of you do not
really believe in him. You know nothing about him, and what you do know, is
wrong. But I know him personally. I have met him, and he commissioned me and
sent me here.
The attackers gave the signal to throw the stones, but no one moved, for his
hour had not yet come. As a result, many more people believed in him. They
said. “Look at all the miracles he has performed, he must be the Messiah.”
“I will not be among you much longer for I must return to Father. You will look
for me but will not be able to find me; because where I am going, you cannot
come.
This confused the crowd, they began to question, “Where is he going? Is he
leaving Israel to teach the non-Jews? Is he going to kill himself and leave the
earth? It sounds like he is speaking in riddles again.”
113
Yahshuah’s Words are the Zoë Wisdom of the Father Jn. 8:37
On the last day of wicked Hanukkah (the Feast of the Dedication), Yahshuah
again came to the Temple and said,
“Everyone who is thirsty, come to me for the Zoë water of wisdom. Whoever
believes I am the Messiah, (unites with, loves, and obeys my words), out of his
inner most being shall flow rivers of living Zoë water.” He was speaking of having
Father’s pure angel living within them, for at this point, the coming angel was not
in them, and would not be in them until after Yahshuah ascended to heaven, and
was glorified.
Faithful N.T. - Rivers of Zoë-living water will flow from his belly. (koilia –
cavity) Jn. 7:39.
The word of Yah on high is the fountain of wisdom. (Ecclesiasticus (from the
Latin Vulgate) 1: 5)
Wisdom is poured forth like water. (Enoch 48:1A)
A wise man's knowledge wells up in a flood, and his counsel, like a fountain of
life. (Sirach 14:13)
A person's words can be life-giving water; words of true wisdom are as
refreshing as a bubbling brook. (Prov 18:4 )
174
In that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the
inhabitants of Yerushalayim, for sin and for impurity. (Zech 13:1)
With joy you shall draw water from the wells of salvation. (Is 12:3)
Is 35: 5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer,
And the tongue of the dumb sing.
For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness,
And streams in the desert.
7 The parched ground shall become a pool,
And the thirsty land springs of water;
In the habitation of jackals, where each lay,
There shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
8 A highway shall be there, and a road,
And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
The unclean shall not pass over it,
But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road,
although a fool, Shall not go astray.
9 No lion shall be there,
Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;
It shall not be found there.
But the redeemed shall walk there,
10 And the ransomed of Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth shall return,
And come to Zion with singing,
With everlasting joy on their heads.
They shall obtain joy and gladness,
And sorrow and sighing shall flee away. (NKJV)
Is 55:1 Ho, everyone who thirsts,
come to the waters;
and you that have no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.
2 Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread,
and your labour for that which does not satisfy?
Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.
3 Incline your ear, and come to me;
listen, so that you may live.
I will make with you an everlasting covenant,
my steadfast, sure love for David.
4 See, I made him a witness to the peoples,
175
a leader and commander for the peoples.
5 See, you shall call nations that you do not know,
and nations that do not know you shall run to you,
because of Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth your God, the Holy One of Israel,
for he has glorified you.
When he said this many in the crowd said, “Surely this is the prophet Moses said
would come.” Others said, “Yes this is the Messiah.” However, the rogues among
them said, “The Messiah will not come from the Galil, but from Bethlehem from
the sperm of David.” “No Prophet”, some argued, “comes from the Galil”.
So there was wrangling over his origin.
Actually, Jonah, Elijah, Nahum and Hosea were from the Galil. This men
were all highly esteemed in Yahshuah’s day and they all had ministries to
gentiles.
Jonah came from Gathepher a village three miles from Netzeret. Jonah was
the first missionary to the Gentiles. He was sent to call Nineveh to
repentance.
Elijah, the Tishbite, (El is Yah) was rejected by Israel and was sent by Yah
to Phoenicia (that’s where we get our Alphabet) where he dwelled in the
house of a gentile widow in the town of Zarephatho When he was hiding in
a cave on Mount Sinai in the Horeb mountains, it says the Davar Elohim
(the word of God) the Logos spoke to him. The Davar Elohim is identified
with the Angel of Yah and speaks for Yah. (1 Kings 19). Traditionally it is
believed Elijah went bodily to heaven in a firey chariot, but since Yahshuah
said no one, but he, had ever been to heaven we must assume that Elijah’s
fiery ride ended in death before he left the planet.
Nahum, the Elkoshite, lived in Capernaum (Kefer Nahum) in 615 BC his
book is a message to the gentiles in Nineveh.
Hosea (a nickname for Yahshuah), the son of Beeri, lived in the 8th
Century BC in the Northern Kingdom. Hosea is told by Yah to marry a
woman who has left Yah to become a temple prostitute of the Bull cult. Her
name is Gomer (destruction to Idolaters), her children Jezreel (seed of
Yah), Lo Ruamah (disgraced) and Lo Ammi (You are no longer my people).
Clearly Hosea’s message is a warning that if the Hebrews continue in the
Bull cult they will lose the kingdom of Yah. Which they did. They continue
as a race but since they rejected the Messiah, they are not Yah’s people.
The rogues among the priests were especially disturbed by Yahshuah’s
words. They complained to Kayafa, the High Priest, who was sitting with the
senators. Kayafa sent the Temple guards to arrest him.
Some of the assassins in the crowd were ready to strike, but no one laid a
hand on him including the Temple guards. The guards returned to the High
Priest.
114
Nicodemus Defends Yahshuah
Jn. 7:51
176
“Why didn’t you bring him?” the High Priest demanded.
“No one ever spoke like this man,” the guards replied.
“Is he fooling you too? Look, do you see any of the rulers of the Pharisees, or
of the Sadducees following him? The ignorant commoners follow him because
they are stupid, they do not know the Mosaic Law; and thus are cursed to
perish.”
The reason they did not know the Torah was because to learn it, you
had to pay. The Leaders who were supposed to teach them were selling it,
and thus the poor remained in ignorance (just like our Seminaries today
sell it and the churches demand 10% of your income to come and learn).
Nothing is new under the sun when it come to religious racketeering.
Nicodemus, the one who had become a secret follower of Yahshuah,
interrupted him, “Doesn’t the Mosaic Law say we must let a man explain his case
to the Senate, before we condemn him?”
Kayafa asked, “Are you also an unlearned Galilean? Search the scriptures,
and you will see, no prophet will come from the Galil.”
Either Kayafa was as ignorant as the rabble he despised and did not
know four prophets came from the Galil, or he was suppressing these
prophets for their message was clearly pro-gentile and warned that the
Jews would lose their special chosen status. I suspect he was
suppressing.
Then all the Senators dispersed to their homes.
As for these rogues it is written:
Is 59:3-15 For your hands are defiled with blood ,and your fingers with
iniquity your lips have spoken lies your tongue mutters wickedness.
4 No one brings suit justly, no one goes to law honestly;
they rely on empty pleas, they speak lies conceiving mischief and begetting
iniquity. 5 They hatch adders’ eggs and weave the spider’s web;
whoever eats their eggs dies, and the crushed egg hatches out a viper.
6 Their webs cannot serve as clothing they cannot cover themselves with what
they make. Their works are works of iniquity, and deeds of violence are in their
hands. 7 Their feet run to evil, and they rush to shed innocent blood;
their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity desolation and destruction are in
their highways. 8 The way of peace they do not know, and there is no justice in
their paths. Their roads they have made crooked; no one who walks in them
knows peace.
177
Woe unto him who builds his house by unrighteousness and his upper rooms
by injustice; who makes his neighbors work for nothing and does not pay them
their wages. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Ezek 22:13
115
The Woman Caught in Adultery
Jn. 7:53
At dawn, Yahshuah returned to the Temple, and as he sat teaching the
crowd, certain rogues from among the Mosaic Law Experts, and from the
Pharisees, brought a woman captured in the act of adultery.
“Rabbi we caught this woman in the act of adultery. The Law of Moses says
we must stone her to death, what do you say?”
They thought they had the perfect trap, for if he condemned her, he would
have blood on his hands, but if he released her, he would be breaking the Law.
Yahshuah bent down and began to write in the dust with his finger.
“Well what do you say?” they asked.
He said, “Let the person among you who has never committed a sin, be the
the one to throw the first heavy stone of execution on her.” He continued writing
(the names of the people in the crowd) in the dust.
It is written “all who forsake you (Yah) will be put to shame and my faithless
ones will be written in the dust because thy have forsaken the fountain of living
water -Yah (the living Eloah)”. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Ezke 17:13
One by one, they turned and walked away, beginning with the oldest ones.
Soon he and the adulteress were alone, he said the woman, “Where are your
accusers? Is there no one here to condemn you?”
She said, “No one but you Master.”
“Neither do I condemn you, Go and live your life for Father and sin no more.”
My child hast thou sinned? do so no more: but for thy former sins also pray
that they may be forgiven you. Flee from sins as from the faces of serpents: for if
thou comest near them, they will take hold of you. The teeth thereof are the
teeth of a lion, killing the souls of men. All iniquity is like a two-edged sword,
there is no remedy for the wound thereof. (Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin
Vulgate) 21:1)
Turn again to the Most High and away from sin, hate intensely what he
loathes. (Sirach 16:21)
116
Before Abraham Was, I was Seen in Yah’s Plan
Jn. 8:58
178
Later when another crowd had gathered, he said, I am the light of the world,
whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the Zoë-light that
leads to immortality.
The assassins were back accusing him, “There you go exalting yourself, and
testifying about yourself again. A man’s testimony about himself is never to be
trusted.”
Moses wrote in the Scroll of Deuteronomy:
“No single witness should rise up against a man respecting any error or any
sin, in the case of any sin that he may commit. At the mouth of two witnesses or
at the mouth of three witnesses the matter should stand good.” Deut 19:15
Yahshuah replied, “Even if I testify about myself, it is true, because I was
transported to heaven to see Father, and I know I am going back to him.
Yes, you are correct, it takes two witnesses to establish a truth. I am one
witness and Father is the second. Father commissioned me, the miracles I do,
are not done by me, but by Father working through me. They are the proof that
he has chosen me to be his Messiah.
One of the rogues shouted, “Where is your father? We hear you are a
bastard.”
He replied, “If you even had the tiniest knowledge of Father, you would know
that I am speaking the truth.)
He was in the Temple near the Treasury when this took place. Then he said
to them,
“I told you that I will be going away soon, then it will be too late for many of
you, you will die in your sins, for unless you believe I am the messiah, you will
not be able to come where I am going.”
Luke 13:3 except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish."
Enoch 49: 3 Others shall be made to see, that they must repent, and forsake
the works of their hands; and that glory awaits them not in the presence of Yah
the Eloah of the Tsebaoth of spirits; yet that by his name they may be saved. Yah
the Eloah of the Tsebaoth of spirits will have compassion on them; for great is
his mercy; and righteousness is in his judgment, and in the presence of his glory;
nor in his judgment shall iniquity stand. He who repents not before him shall
perish.
By using words like “unless” and “except” Yahshuah is saying humans
have free will and can choose to believe or disbelieve, obey or disobey.
He placed before you two ways one which is good and one which is evil If
you choose the good way he will bless you, but if you walk in the evil way he
will curse you. From the Dead Sea Scrolls version of of 4Q473
Say not: "It was God's doing that I fell away"; for what he hates he does not
do. Say not: "It was he who set me astray"; for he has no need of wicked men.
When God, in the beginning, created man, he made him subject to his own free
179
choice. There are set before you fire and water; to whichever you choose, stretch
forth your hand. Before man are life and death, whichever he chooses shall be
given him. The eyes of God see all he has made; he understands man's every deed.
No man does he command to sin, to none does he give strength for lies. (Sirach
15:11)
Someone in the crowd said, “Tell us plainly who you are.”
“I am the Messiah, the prophet Moses said would come. I have been saying
this from the beginning. There is so much more I want to tell you, but I can only
speak the words that are given to me from the one who is true.”
They did not realize that the words being given to him were from the Father.
When you lift me up, I, this mortal, a mortal, the Messiah, many will realize
that I spoke the truth. You will realize that Father was in me and never left me,
and everything I did was pleasing to him.
As he spoke, many people began to believe him.
Then he said, “If you continue obeying my words, then you will truly be my
disciples and you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.”
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word (logos) is truth.” (Jn. 17. 17-19)
And he will sprinkle upon him a spirit of truth, like water for impurity…"

Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 2:19 they that love him, shall be
filled with his law.
One of the assassins shouted, “Free from what? We are no one’s slaves. We
are free men the children of Abraham.”
You are the slaves of sin. Are you listening? Whoever sins is the slave of sin,
and slaves cannot live in Father’s house. You must become his child to live in his
house of immortality.
I am his chief son, and I can set you free from the bondage of sin, and bring
you into his house as his child, if you do as I say.
"If therefore the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36)
You are the blood descendants of Abraham, but stop claiming you are
Abraham’s children. You are not. If you are standing there, hiding stones under
your cloaks to kill me, you are not Abraham’s children, but you have another
father. The true children of Abraham would rejoice when they hear Father’s
words flow from my mouth, but my words only enrage the children of another
father. I get my words from my Father, but you get your hatred from yours.”
They shouted at him, “Abraham is our Father.”
“No he is not; if he was your father, you would act like him. He was a man of
love and peace. He would never want to kill a man who told him things straight
from Father’s lips. You have another father.”
180
They shouted back, “We were not bastards (mamzerim) born of prostituion
like you. We descended legitimately from Abraham. Are you accusing our
mothers of prostitution like yours? We are legitimately descended from Adam,
whose Father is (Elohim), our Father the one (Echad) the one and only one true
Elohim.”
Yahshuah said, “If Elohim was truly your father, you would love me, because
he chose me and commissioned me. I did not commission myself. He sent me to
you. However, you are deaf to my words. You cannot understand my words
because your real father has plugged your ears, because he is Azazel, the devil
himself, and you blindly obey his orders. He was a murderer from the beginning
and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks,
it is a lie because he is a liar, the father of all lies. You are so accustomed to his
lies, that when a man like me, tells you the truth, you do not believe it.
Is 53: 1 Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm (the angel)
of Yah been revealed?
Which of you can prove me guilty of any sin? Speak up. So then, if you find me
living a sinless life, does it not follow that the words I speak must be true? So
why do you disbelieve me? All those who are on Yah’s side believe me, but all
those who are against Yah disbelieve me.
The assassins in the crowd, yelled, “We were right about you. You are a
demon possessed Samaritan.”
Yahshuah asked, Would a demon possessed person be honoring Yah? I
have no (angel) demon and every word I speak honors Yah, and every word you
speak dishonors me. You still believe I am here to promote myself, but I am not, I
am promoting Father, the one who sees and judges everything. Are you
listening? Listen closely to this. Whoever obeys the message I am teaching will
never taste death.
The assassins yelled, “Now we really know you have a demon, for everyone
must taste death. Even our father Abraham and all the prophets died. Do you
think you are greater than Abraham and all the prophets?
Yahshuah replied, “If I was trying to be popular why would I make such
provocative statements? I would be hurting my popularity. I only want to popular
with one person, Father, who you claim is your Elohim, although you know
nothing about him. However, I have met him personally, and if I denied that, I
would be a liar like you. But I know him, and I am obeying his commands. Your
ancestor Abraham was glad when he saw my day, and saw me.”
(Notice he said “Your“ ancestor Abraham. Yahshuah said we are to call
no man father. He is refusing to call Abraham his father. We are to have
only one Father-Yah. Being a child of Abraham means nothing, being a
child of Yah is what it is all about.)
181
“Abraham leaped for joy that he might the day, mine, and he saw it (by faith)
and he rejoiced.” (Bullinger’s Companion Bible)
The assassins screamed, “You are not even fifty years old, how can you
claim to have seen Abraham?”
“I did not say I saw Abraham. He saw me in a prophetic vision 4000 years into
the future. And before Abraham was born, even farther back at the beginning,
Father saw me in his plan.”
Yah “revealed to Abraham the course of Israel's history and the history
of the whole world…the Messianic time was made known unto Abraham, so
also the time of the resurrection of the dead.” (Legends of the Jews
http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/loj/loj107.htm
Most English bibles leave the sentence dangling and cut it off having
Yahshuah saying “Before Abraham was I am”. They say this meant he was
calling himself “the Great I am”. The problem is that Yah never called
himself “I great am”. In Exodus 3:14 there is a mistranslation of the Hebrew
phrase Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh. Jerome in the 4th Century translated it into The
Latin Vulgate as “Sum qui sum” (I am who I am), and few translators ever
since have challenged him. The Jewish Encyclopedia says this:
Ehyeh-Asher-Ehyeh.
The Incommunicable Name was pronounced "Adonai," and where
Adonai and Yhwh occur together the latter was pronounced "Elohim." After
the destruction of the Second Temple there remained no trace of
knowledge as to the pronunciation of the Name. The commentators,
however, agree as to its interpretation, that it denotes the eternal and
everlasting existence of God, (meaning "a Being of the Past, the Present,
and the Future"). The name Ehyeh denotes His potency in the immediate
future, and is part of Yhwh. The phrase "ehyeh-asher-ehyeh" (Ex. iii. 14) is
interpreted by some authorities as "I will be because I will be," using the
second part as a gloss and referring to God's promise, "Certainly I will be
[ehyeh] with you" (Ex. iii. 12

The Assassins had heard all they needed. To them he was claiming to have
lived before Abraham and that made him a liar and a false prophet. This was the
last straw, and as the assassins rushed at him with their stones in their hands, he
disappeared into the crowd, and escaped undetected from the Temple.

Do Not Call Down Fire on Your Enemies
Lk. 9
When Yahshuah reached Samaria, he sent Yahchanan (John) and Yah-kov
ahead to get lodging in the first village. They returned in frustration, and angry,
182
saying the villagers had rudely rejected them. “Shall we call down fire from
heaven on them as Elijah did?” they asked.
2Ki.1:10 But Elijah answered and spoke to the chief of the fifty: Well, if I am
a man of God, let fire come down from the heavens and eat up you and your
fifty. And fire came descending from the heavens and went eating up him and his
fifty.
Yahshuah was aghast and rebuked them. “Have you been listening to (angel)
demons? I, this mortal, the Messiah have come to save men’s lives not destroy
them.” They traveled on to the next village. Thus Yahshuah demonstrates that
he is a prophet mightier than Elijah.
118
Don’t Turn Back
Lk. 9:62
They met a man, who said, “Master I want to follow you but first I want to go
home and put my affairs in order and say good bye.”
Yahshuah said, No, when you grab a plow, do not look back. (If you are in a
burning house and a door opens, dash through it to freedom and do not look
back. If you look back, you will never make it to the Kingdom)
119
Sending out the 70 Barefoot Students
Lk. 10
In those days, Yahshuah chose seventy special students (some manuscripts
say 72) (disciples) (not including the Apostles) and sent them out towards
Yerushalayim in pairs. Each pair was assigned a village (35) that he planned to
stop in on his way to the great city. He spent some time training them, and said,
The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. Pray to the master of the
harvest, that he would send more laborers into his harvest.
Nu.11:16 In turn Yah said to Moses: Gather to me seventy men of the older
men of Israel, whom you do know that they are older men of the people and
officers of theirs, and you must take them to the tent of meeting, and they must
station themselves there with you.
There were 70 elders in The "Bet Din ha-Gadol," or Great Sanhedrin, at
Jerusalem at the time of Yahshuah. According to the Jewish Encyclopedia
there were 70 nations each founded by a son of Noah and 70 languages.
“The word of God was pronounced on Mount Sinai in seventy languages
(Shab. 88a; Ex. R. v.; comp. Acts ii. 5). The Torah was written in seventy
languages in order that the nations should not be able to plead ignorance as their
excuse for rejecting it (Tosef., Soṭah, viii.)”

Na.1:15 [YAH has said:] Look! Upon the mountains the feet of one bringing
good news, one publishing peace.
I am sending you forth as lambs among wolves, so act as lambs. Take no
money, nor begging bags, no food, no extra clothes, and no shoes, and, do not
stop to make idle talk along the way, but go directly to your assigned cities.
“If two Arabs of equal rank meet each other, they extend to each other
the right hand, and having clasped, they elevate them as if to kiss them.
Each one then draws back his hand and kisses it instead of his friend’s,
and then places it upon his forehead. The parties then continue the
salutation by kissing each other’s beard. They gave thanks to God that they
are once more permitted to see their friend - they pray to the Almighty in
his behalf. Sometimes they repeat not less than ten times the ceremony of
grasping hands and kissing.” (Barnes Commentary)
Slaves and lower classes went barefoot. Yahshuah was sending them to
the poor of the land. Bare feet are symbols of pacifism. Soldiers are well

“How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that brings good
tidings, that publishes peace; that brings good tidings of good, that publishes
salvation; that says unto Zion, your Eloah reigns!” (Is 52:7)
Before you enter a house, first wish peace to everyone in the house. If the
children of peace live there, your peace shall rest upon the house, if not, leave
and take your peace with you.
Reside in the same house, eating and drinking such things as they give, for
the laborer is worthy of his hire. Do not go from house to house, looking for a
better one. Heal the sick in the town, and say to them, The Kingdom of Yah has
been amongst you.
If the people of a city do not receive you, as you leave say, “we received
nothing from you, and we are taking nothing with us, not even your dust.” Shake
the dust off your feet and say, “The Kingdom of Yah came to you, and you
rejected it. It shall be more tolerable on the Resurrection Day for the people of
Sodom than for the people of your city.
Lam.4:6 The [punishment for the] error of the daughter of my people also
becomes greater than the [punishment for the] sin of Sodom, which was
overthrown as in a moment; and to which no hands turned [helpfully].
Ezk.3:18 When I say to someone wicked: You will positively die; and you do
not actually warn him and speak in order to warn the wicked one from his
wicked way to preserve him alive, he being wicked, in his error he will die; but
his blood I shall ask back from your own hand.

He that hears you, hears me, he that despises you, despises me, and he that
despises me, despises Father who sent me.

The Return of the 70
Lk. 10:18
When the seventy special disciples returned, they were overjoyed, saying,
‘Master, even the (angel) demons obeyed us through your name. “
Yahshuah said, I saw the effects of your work in the spirit world. This is the
beginning of the end. I began to see Azazel falling from heaven like lightning.
However, do not rejoice because I gave you power over (angel) demons,
scorpion-people, and serpent-people, but rejoice that your names are written in
Father’s Scroll in heaven.
Dan.12:1 And during that time Mi'cha-el will stand up, the great prince who
is standing in behalf of the of the sons of your people. And there will certainly
occur a time of distress such as has not been made to occur since there came to be
a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, everyone
who is written down in the Scroll.
Enoch 47:3 At that time I beheld the Ancient of days, while he sat upon the
throne of his glory, while the Scroll of the living was opened in his presence, and
while all the powers which were above the heavens stood around and before
him. Then were the hearts of the saints full of joy, because the consummation of
righteousness was arrived, the supplication of the saints heard, and the blood of
the righteous appreciated by Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth of spirits.
Malachi 3:16 and a Scroll of remembrance was written before him of all those
who feared (reverenced) him and mediated on his name –Yah.
Then looking towards heaven Yahshuah prayed, Thank you Father, creator of
all things visible and invisible, your ways are so wonderful. You laugh at the
theologians, philosophers, and scientists who find nothing while you give the
truth to my disciples who have received it with the faith of children. Thank you for
making me your unique son and giving me this mission to reveal you to others.
Then turning to his followers he said, How happy you should be, for men
since the beginning of the earth, saints and prophets, have longed to hear what
you are hearing, and see what you are seeing.
Luke 10:19 Look! I have given YOU the authority to trample under foot
serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will
by any means hurt YOU.
Ps.91:13 Upon the young lion and the cobra you will tread; you will trample
down the hairy young lion and the giant snake.
185
Ezk.2:6 And you, O mortal, do not be afraid of them; and of their words do
not be afraid, because there are obstinate ones and things pricking you and it is
among scorpions that you are dwelling. Of their words do not be afraid, and at
their faces do not you be struck with terror, for they are a rebellious house.
121
Am I a Good Neighbor?
Lk,10:25
One day a Mosaic Law expert came to see Yahshuah hoping to trap him in
some heresy. He was pretending to be sincere, and asked, “What must I do to
enter Father’s Kingdom?”
Yahshuah asked, “What does the Mosaic Law say?”
The expert replied, “You shall love Adonai with all your heart, and mind, and
strength and life. And love your neighbor as yourself.”
“Excellent,” Yahshuah said, “If you do those to things, you will enter Father’s
Kingdom.”
The expert smiled and sprung his trap, “But who is my neighbor?”
Yahshuah said, “A man was traveling from Yerushalayim to Jericho when a
gang of cutthroat thieves ambushed him. They stole his donkey, and everything
he had, including his clothes. Then they killed him, or so they thought, and left his
body lying in the road.
Jericho is the second oldest inhabited city of the earth with
archaeological findings to the 9th Century BC. Since Jericho was the home
of the ancient Moon worshippers, we can say this man was going away
from Yah, and thus brought on his own disaster.
“Early in Canaanite religion, the male moon-god, "Yerach," was the
chief god of the pantheon. And the female sun-god, "Shamash," was his
cohort. Later, these were changed to Baal and Ashteroth. “(W.F. Albright,
Archaeology and the Religion of Israel, p. 92, also p. 83). The moon god
was also known by the name “Sin”.
In the days of King Ahab, Hiel, of Bethel, rebuilt the idols, and city of
Jericho sacrificing his eldest and youngest sons and placed their bodies in
the walls. (1 kings 16:34)
Zedekiah was captured there by the Babylonians indicating that he was
part of the Moon cult.
in 161 BC, it was captured by the Macabees (also known as the
Hasmoneans). When the Maccabees fell from inter-family assassinations,
Herod assumed the power and rebuilt Jericho complete with a Greek
Theater, Hippodrome for chariot races and a Gymnasium (where games
were played to the gods), so it had a large Greek population. When Herod
died there, in 4 BC, his son, Archelaus, transformed it into a Roman city.
186
Not long after, a high priest came down the road (going away from Yah to
the Bull cult), but when he saw the man lying there, he goaded his donkey and
hurried by on the far side. Later, another son of Aaron (regular priest) arrived,
and did the same. At sunset, a man from Samaria came down the trail, and
when he saw the man lying there all but dead, he stopped his donkey and went
to him. When he saw he was still alive, he poured oil and wine on his wounds
and wrapped them to stop the bleeding. He carefully loaded him onto his donkey
and brought him to a Samaritan Inn at a nearby village. The next morning, he
gave the Innkeeper two days wages to look after the wounded Jew, and said he
would return on the third day, and if the man was still too ill to travel, he would
pay him more money to look after him, until he was well enough to go on his way.
Yahshuah looked deep into the eyes of the Law expert and asked him,
“Which of the three men was a neighbor to the wounded Jew?”
“The one that helped him.”
“Yes, go and be a good neighbor like that, and you will enter Father’s
Kingdom.) (Stop asking, “Who is my neighbor”, but keep asking, “Am I a
good neighbor?)
There was a precedent of Samaritans (who were enemies) helping Jews.
During the civil war 200,000 Jews in the south had been captured and
were being led away as slaves. But the Northerners from Samaria
repented, and set them free.
"Then the men who were designated by name arose, took the captives, and
they clothed all their naked ones from the spoil; and they gave them clothes and
sandals, fed them and gave them drink, anointed them with oil, led all their
feeble ones on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to
their brothers; then they returned to Samaria." (2 Chronicles 28:15)
This is Yahshuah’s way of saying your worst enemy is still to be seen as
a brother. Is he also hinting that the Pentateuch of the Jews, rewritten by
Ezra, has been tampered with and has no healing, and that we must look to
the Pentateuch of the Samaritans?
122
Choose the Wisdom of Yah Over the Duties of the World
Lk. 10
The next day they reached Beit-Anyan, the village where his friends Eliezar
(Lazarus), Mary and Marta lived. They welcomed them warmly, and Marta began
preparing food, arranging sleeping mats, finding blankets and pillows. Mary
however sat at Yahshuah’s feet spell bound.
De.33:3 He was also cherishing his people; all their holy ones are in your
hand. And they - they reclined at your feet; they began to receive some of your
words.
187
Marta was getting upset, and feeling resentful, so she said to Yahshuah,
“Doesn’t it strike you as unfair that Mary just sits here listening to you, while I
have to do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.”
“Marta,” he said, “there is always plenty of work to do in a large house like
this, but I am not always here visiting am I? The words that I am speaking are far
more important than all the work in the world. Mary realizes this and sits here
soaking them in. (The words I speak will lead to immortality. You wouldn’t deny
her that would you? Come here Marta,” he said reaching out his hand, “You
come, sit, and listen too. We’ll worry about the food and the pillows later.”)
Service without scholarship, leads away from the kingdom.
(Don’t be afraid to ask what you need from Father.) Which of you is afraid to
go to a friend’s house at midnight and wake him up to ask for some food saying.
“A friend of mine just arrived from a long journey, and the stores are closed,
please loan me something for my friend to eat.”
Even if your friend grumbles and says,
“Go away it’s late, my family is asleep and I and my wife are in bed with the
infants.”
Because he’s your friend, you will keep knocking until he finally gets up, and
gives you some snacks for your traveling friend. Father is not a grumpy friend,
He’s a willing friend to those who seek, knock and ask.
Ps.145:18 Yah is near to all those calling upon him, to all those who call
upon him in trueness.
Ps.50:15 And call me in the day of distress. I shall rescue you, and you will
glorify me.
Je.33:3 Call to me, and I shall answer you and readily tell you great and
incomprehensible things that you have not known.
So keep on seeking and knocking, and asking for all who seek will find and to
all who knock the door will be opened and all who ask will receive.

The Healed Blind Man Instructs the Truly Blind Priests
Jn. 9
When they reached Yerushalayim, they encountered a blind man begging. He
had been blind since birth. The disciples asked, “Since he was born blind, who
sinned, this man or his parents?”
Neither of them, each person is born into the situation that Father knows will
best dispose them to turn to him. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of
the world.
He picked up some dirt, spat on it, and made some clay, which he applied to
the blind man’s eyes. He then sent him to the pool of Shiloach where he was to
188
wash away the mud. A few minutes later, the blind man ran back shouting joyfully
that he could see. Some of his neighbors asked, “Is not this the blind man who
used to sit and beg?” Others said, “It looks like him.” He said, “Yes, it is I.” They
asked him, “What happened?” He said, “A man named Yahshuah put some mud
on my eyes and told me to go to the pool of Shiloach and wash. As soon as I
washed away the mud, I could see.” “Where is he now?” The blind man said, “I
do not know.”
The neighbors took the blind man to one of the rogue leaders of the
Pharisees, for he had been healed on a Sabbath. They were more concerned
about the Sabbath infraction, than with their neighbor’s miracle.
The Pharisees had a meeting, and made the ex-blind man tell them the whole
story. When he finished, the rogues said, “This man does not come from Adonai
because he broke Sabbath.” However, some honest Pharisees asked, “How
could a sinner do such a miracle?” Therefore, they were divided. Then they
asked the ex-blind man, “What do you say about him?”
“He is a prophet.”
Nevertheless, the rogues insisted it was a trick, and that the man was not
really blind, but only pretended to be blind. So they sent for his parents, and
asked them, “Is so and so your son?”
“Yes.”
“Is it true he was born blind?”
“Yes.”
“Then how is it possible that he can now see?”
“We do not know, nor do we know the person who healed him. He is of age
why do not you ask him yourselves.” They were terrified and had been warned
that anyone who was suspected of following Yahshuah would be put out of the
community. That is why they said, “Ask him yourselves.”
Therefore, they called back the ex-blind man and asked him to explicitly
explain what Yahshuah did to his eyes. They really wanted him to confirm that
Yahshuah worked on Sabbath so they could condemn him.
The ex-blind man said, “I have already told you once, and you did not believe
me. Why do you want to hear it again? Are you considering becoming his
disciples?”
This reply angered them and they rebuked him saying, “We know you are his
disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses. We know that Adonai spoke to
Moses, but we do not know where this man gets his power.”
“My my”, said the ex-blind man. “This is puzzling, you learned men have told
us that blind people are blind because either they sinned, or their parents sinned.
You say there is no hope for sinners, because Adonai does not hear the prayers
of sinners. Then along comes a man who heals the blind and you say he must be
a sinner, and you have no idea where he gets his power. I wonder who the blind
ones are here. You say that if we beggars had only worshipped Adonai, he would
189
have given us power. Since the world began, we have never heard of a man born
blind receiving his sight. Can’t you see this man would have no power, unless it
came from Adonai? Of course he is from Adonai.”
The rogues were miffed. He had turned the tables on them, and used their
own teachings to expose their blindness and the hardness of their hearts. They
were in a rage.
“Who do you think you are to lecture us? You were born blind in filthy sin,”
They threw him out.
When Yahshuah heard what happened, he sought him out. When he found
him, asked, “Do you believe in the Son of Yah?”
“Who is he Master? I want to follow him.”
“You have seen him, and he is talking with you right now.”
“I believe Master,” he said doing obeisance (bending the knee) before him
the way disciples do to Rabbis.
Yahshuah said, I am an agent of change in the world. I change the wicked
with good eyes into blind people and I change the good people with bad eyes
into visionaries.)
Some rogue priests had been eaves dropping on them, and spoke up,
“Are you saying we are blind?”
“If you lived the way you live, but were blind to right and wrong, you would not
be charged for your sins, but because you claim to be doing what you are doing
with your eyes wide open, it is even worse, and so you have no excuse for your
sins.
“The blindness of the heart is more grievous than the blindness of the eyes, for
the blindness of the eyes may be guided little by little, but the blindness of the
heart is not guided, and it leaves the straight path, and goes in a crooked way.”
Haiqar 2:44

Yahshuah the Kalos Shepherd Jn. 10
A sheepfold was a pen where the sheep spent the night. Each village
had one and many shepherds would bring the sheep to the sheepfold for
safekeeping. There was a designated shepherd who was the doorkeeper
and he guarded the sheep at night. The Sheepfolds had high stone or
wooden walls, some had thatched roofs, or were open to the sky. During
the summer months when the sheep were taken to the mountains. the
shepherds assembled a crude circle of stones for the sheepfold with
sometimes a temporary thatched roof. The Doorkeeper Shepherd usually
rested in the doorway and acted as a door to keep the sheep inside.
Yahshuah went back to the Temple and taught,
190
If you were a faithful Doorkeeper Shepherd, you would put the owner’s sheep
in the sheepfold at night and station yourself in the doorway as the door. If you
detected someone climbing into the sheepfold through the roof, you would know
it was a thief, for good people come to the door. Now in the morning, when your
boss, the Chief Shepherd, comes to get the flock, you gladly hear his voice, and
step aside, and his sheep also gladly hear his voice and they bound out when he
calls each one by name. He walks ahead and they follow behind him. They will
not come out if they hear a stranger’s voice, or follow a stranger. They will
scatter.
The people stared at Yahshuah with puzzlement on their faces. He knew this
illustration had gone over their heads, so he said,
I am the Doorkeeper Shepherd who in the summer sits in the doorway as the
door. I am the door. If anyone comes to me, they will find salvation, and go in and
out safely like sheep go to pasture. I am not a thief coming to plunder and kill. I
have come to give you Zoë life and immortality.
All who came before me were robbers and thieves.
If you follow Moses will it lead to eternal life? No. If you follow one
prophet or all the prophets even John the Baptizer, will they lead you to
eternal life? No. If you follow Lao Tse, or Confucius, Buddha, Zoroaster,
Krishna, Aristotle, Plato, Epicurius, or Socrates will they lead to eternal
life? No. Yahshuah is the only door. If you follow anyone else you will rob
yourself of eternal life. Were they sometimes inspired and have fragmented
glimpses of the truth? Of course and Yahshuah picked out the best of what
they had received and validated it, but not the rest of what they taught.
They will lead you to eternal death.
“Even so the teaching of Moses was false for from his law their followed
thieving, plundering and advantages to those who preached…Jesus’ whole
teaching consists of giving one’s life for others.” (Complete Works of Tolstoy)

I know this is a hard teaching because Christians for thousands of
Years have revered every word spoken by Moses and the Prophets having
made an idol out of the scriptures old and new, blindly refusing to see the
errors and contradictions. Yahshuah said to obey only his words and now
tells us that those other words are not only full of errors and contradictions
they are as dangerous as thieves and robbers. Case in point, for 2,000
years the O.T. was used to justify man stealing, and slavery. Everyone who
tries to convince Christians to bear arms speak from the Old Testament.
Every so called Christian, and Jewish country uses the O.T. to justify
Capital Punishment.

Yahshuah said,
I am a Kalos (virtuous, reliable, honest, faithful) shepherd, and a reliable
shepherd will die fighting to protect the sheep. A hired shepherd, who does not
own the sheep, will flee when he sees wild beasts coming, and will not die to
protect them. I own my sheep. I love my sheep, and will protect them. I know
each one by name, and they know me. I have other sheep, which are not in the
Hebrew flock, and I will unite them all as one flock.
Is 49:6 It is too light a thing that you should be my servant
to raise up the tribes of Yah-kov
and to restore the survivors of Israel;
I will give you as a light to the nations,
that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth
Is 49:12 Thus says Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth:
In a time of favor I have answered you,
on a day of salvation I have helped you;
I have kept you and given you
as a covenant to the people,
to establish the land,
to apportion the desolate heritages;
9saying to the prisoners, ‘Come out,
to those who are in darkness, ‘Show yourselves.
They shall feed along the ways,
on all the bare heights* shall be their pasture;
10they shall not hunger or thirst,
neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them down,
for he who has pity on them will lead them,
and by springs of water will guide them.
11And I will turn all my mountains into a road,
and my highways shall be raised up.
12Lo, these shall come from far away,
and lo, these from the north and from the west,
and these from the land of Syene. (Mt. Sinim, possibly the Sinai range) (NRSV)
Enoch 48:1 In that place I beheld a fountain of righteousness, which never
failed, encircled by many springs of wisdom. Of these all the thirsty drank, and
were filled with wisdom.
“Wisdom’s spring is Yah’s logos in the highest.” (Sirach 1:5 Septuagint)
“He poured her out among all his works among all flesh.” (Sirach 1:9
Septuagint)
There will be one flock and one shepherd. Father the chief shepherd gave me
my sheep.
Psalm 23:1 Yah is my shepherd.
192
Psalm of Asaph 80:2 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel (Yah), Thou that leadest
Joseph like a flock; Thou that art enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.
Eze 34:12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his
sheep that are separated, so will I seek out My sheep; and I will deliver them
out of all places whither they have been scattered in the day of clouds and
thick darkness.
Is 40:10 Behold, the Eloah, Yah, will come as a Mighty One, and His arm
(angel-ambassador ) will rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His
recompense before Him. He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather
the lambs with His arm, And carry them in His bosom, And gently lead those
who are with young (the nursing sheep).
Do you know why Father loves me so? Because I am willing to lay down my
life to defend my sheep. Father is not taking my life. No one is taking my life. I am
endangering myself of my own free will. If I am killed, I have the power to receive
my life again. Father gave me this power.
This threw the crowd into turmoil. The rogues were saying, “He is crazy. He is
possessed by an demon. Do not listen to him. He is insane.” But others were
saying, “These are not the words of someone possessed by a demon. Can
(angel) demons open blind men’s eyes?”
125.
The Attempted Murder of Yahshuah at the Second Hanukkah Feast
Jn. 10
When winter came, he returned with his disciples to Yerushalayim. It was the
time of another wicked Feast of the Dedication (Hanukkah). They were in the
Temple, in the area called Solomon’s Court. Another crowd, made up mostly of
rogues, had gathered and someone asked him, “How long are you going to keep
us in suspense, if you are the Messiah tell us so.”
Yahshuah replied, “I already told you I am the Messiah, but you do not
believe me. Don’t my miracles tell you I am the anointed one? The reason you
refuse to believe me is that you are not my sheep. You have sold yourselves to
the devil and you are Azazel’s sheep. My sheep hear my voice and love me. No
one can snatch them out of my hand, and I will give them immortality. My Father,
who gave them to me, is the Chief Shepherd, and no one can snatch them from
his hand either. In this, Father and I are in solidarity.
Enoch 48:11 nor shall there be any one to take the wicked out of his hands,
and to lift them up: for they have denied Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth of spirits,
and his Messiah.
The assassins pulled out large stone from beneath their cloaks.
“Wait!” Yahshuah said. “Before you stone me, tell me for which of my miracles
do you want to kill me?
193
“We are not killing you for your miracles, but for blasphemy. You are just a
man, but you are claiming to be Elohim (himself.”
(Yahshuah replied, “I have never claimed to be Elohim. King David, whom
you all love wrote, in Psalm (82.6) “Ye are Elohim (gods) all of you”. And no one
disputes that. If David called them gods, unto whom the word (logos) of Yah
came, and the scripture cannot be broken, why are you upset with me for saying
I am a son of Yah? (John 10:35)
My point is a Hebrew may call himself Elohim, and not break the Law. For
even Moses was called an Elohim, as were all the judges of Israel. However, I
have never called myself Elohim, but only the son of Elohim.
Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world,
Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? Joh 10:36
(Editor’s note Sanctify means to purify or make holy. You cannot
sanctify God. The argument that Yahshuah is God falls flat here because if
he was God, there is no reason for the Father to sanctify him. In this entire
section Yahshuah is denying that he is God. Later he prays that the father
will sanctify his men also.
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:17
The one sanctifying is the Father and those being sanctified are men.
The Father sanctified Yahshuah therefore he was a man and not God.
(Nevertheless, in calling myself his son, I am no different from you, for you
yourselves say Elohim is your father. So if you are you free to call yourselves
sons of Elohim without blaspheming, why do you say I am blaspheming when I
do it?
However, you are not the sons of Elohim. You are the sons of Azazel, the
devil. You see the miracles I do, which could only come from Elohim, and you
refuse to believe that Elohim is in me. Only the sons of Azazel could be so
hateful.
At this point, the angry assassins rushed him. There was yelling, screaming
and stones were flying, but when the dust had settled, Yahshuah was gone. He
and his disciples had once again escaped out of their hands. They journeyed
east, across the Yardan River, to where his men, and women, followers had
made a camp near where John, the Baptizer, had first appeared.
126
The News of the Death of Lazarus (Eliezar)
Jn. 11
A few days late, runners came to him from the town of Beit-Anyan saying
Eliezar (the brother of Mary and Marta) was so sick; he would surely die, if
Yahshuah did not come quickly. Yahshuah said,
194
“Tell them he will be alright, for his sickness will bring Glory to the Father, and
to his mortal son.
To the amazement of the disciples, he waited until the third day, before he
announced they were returning to Beit-Anyan.
One of the disciples asked, “Is it safe yet? Just a few days ago they tried to
stone you in Yahudah.”
He said, “Those who walk in the dark usually stumble unless they have a
torch, or a candle. My friend Eliezar is sleeping in the dark, I must be the torch to
guide him and I must bring the dawn to wake him, for the night is almost over and
a new day is dawning.
Another disciple said, “Sleep is good for a man when he is sick.” She thought
he meant Eliezar was asleep, but he meant he was dead. Yahshuah said, I mean
he is in the sleep of death. I did not want to be there when he died, so that when I
wake him, you will see it is no trick, and this will strengthen your faith.
Then Toma, called Didymus (the twin), said, “Let’s go. If I must die, I want to
die standing beside Yahshuah.”
127
The Resurrection of Lazarus (Eliezar)
Jn.11
By the time they reached Beit-Anyan, they learned that Eliezar had died right
after the runners left, and had been buried already 4 days. Beit-Anyan was just
outside of Yerushalayim and many mourners had come from the city to comfort
Mary and Marta.
When Marta learned that Yahshuah was nearing, she ran to meet him.
“Master,” she cried as he embraced her, “I know that if you had been here, my
brother would not have died, but even now I know you can bring him back, for
whatever you ask Father to do, he does it for you.”
“Do not worry Marta; your brother shall live again.”
“Yes, I know you told us we would all live again at the Resurrection.”
Yahshuah said, “I am the Resurrection and I can give life. All who follow me
shall live and never meet death, and when their bodies perish, they shall rise
again to immortality. Do you believe this Marta?”
“Yes Adoni, I believe it and I know you are the Son of Yah, the Messiah we
have been waiting for.”
Then Yahshuah sent her back to the house, to tell Mary that he had come to
raise their brother. When she reached the house, she called Mary aside and
whispered to her that Yahshuah wanted to see her. Mary hurried outside to find
him. The mourners saw her leave and followed her, thinking she was going to the
tomb to weep. When Mary saw Yahshuah, she fell at his feet sobbing. When he
saw her and all the mourners wailing, he too began to sob and was overcome
with grief. Then he asked,
195
“Where have you lain him?” She said, “Come and see.” He followed her
weeping. The mourners said, “See how much he loved Eliezar, why could not he
have prevented this?” When he reached the tomb, he once again was overcome
with emotion. The tomb was a cave with a large stone rolled over its entrance.
Yahshuah said, “Roll back the stone.” Marta began to feebly protest,
“But Master it has been four days and by now the body will stink.”
“You told me you had faith Marta. If you believe, you will see the Shokeyn
Glory of Yah.
Then she gave a signal, and some men rolled back the large stone.
Yahshuah looked up towards heaven and prayed in a loud voice,
“Father thank you for always hearing my prayers. To convince those gathered
here that you have commissioned me; I ask your permission to use the power
you gave me.
Then he cried out with a thunderous voice: “Eliezar come out of your tomb.”
A few moments later, the dead man appeared at the mouth of the cave. He
was still wrapped in his grave clothes. His hands and feet were wrapped and a
cloth covered his face. Yahshuah said to the men standing near the cave.
“Unwrap him.”
A feeling of awe flooded the place when they saw it was truly Eliezar, and
everyone there became believers.
128
Prophesying and Plotting Yahshuah’s Death
Jn.11
News of the resurrection of Eliezar soon reached the rogues among the
Pharisees, they met with the chief priest Shammai and Gamamliel and some evil
senators from the Sanhedrin (Bth Din) and asked, “What shall we do? His
miracles are increasing in numbers and in power. If we do nothing, everyone in
Israel will become his disciples. We will lose our positions of authority, and then
the Romans will punish us.”
Kayafa, the illegal High Priest, said, “Gentlemen, you clearly do not
understand what is involved here. The good of the whole nation is indeed at
stake. Surely it would be better to have one man die, than for the whole nation to
perish.” Kayafa the false High Priest was acting as a prophet. After that,
whenever the rogue priests and senators met, they plotted the murder of
Yahshuah.
Kayafa, as the leader of the Bull cult, was naming Yahshuah as a human
sacrifice - the Passover Bull, or lamb (sheep/goat). The Writer of the Book
of Hebrews identifies Yahshuah as a Bull (see Hebrews 13:11-13). 14 Bulls
were sacrificed during the 7 day festival (Num. xxviii. 16-25).
The Passover celebrated the night in Egypt when the Angel of Yah
“passed by” the first born sons of Israel and killed the first born sons of
196
the Egyptians (both man and beast). The Passover began with sacrificing,
roasting and eating a lamb (sheep or goat) and marking the door posts with
its blood. Since Yahshuah rejected blood sacrifices saying Yah does not
want them, we must conclude that he rejected this early ritual. It smacks of
Egyptian paganism. Osiris is the castrated Ram god of Death who
resurrects in the Spring. He is called the bread from heaven and his
followers ate an Eucharistic meal of his body (bread) and blood (ale). This
gave them immortality. You can see why Azazel is trying to make Yahshuah
look like the Passover lamb. Yahshuah deliberately celebrated his
vegetarian Passover a day early to show he was not identifying with blood
sacrifices and barbaric Egyptian wickedness. Osiris impregnated his own
sister Isis and It was a cannibal cult.
“Although the cult of Osiris forbade cannibalism, it did not outlaw
dismemberment and eating of enemies, and practiced the ritual rending
and eating of the sacred bull, symbolizing Osiris.”
Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osiris
The sprinkling of blood is the way to unite with the God. “When blood
was sprinkled over altars and men and the toasts were drunk, men were
symbolically joined with the gods of war and fertility, and with their dead
ancestors, sharing their mystical powers.” http://www.book-ofthoth.com/blogs/philipgardiner/2007/04/blood-ritual-ark-and-shroud.html
Yahshuah was not a bull, or a ram, lamb or goat, he was a shepherd. He
did not come to give us his blood, but his wisdom teaching, and to offer
himself as a living ransom, not a dead sacrifice. Azazel has done a good
job of teaching otherwise.
After resurrecting Eliezar in Beit-Anyan, Yahshuah was careful never to be
seen in public places, but made his camp in the wilderness of Ephraim (a wild,
uncultivated hill-country to the north-east of Jerusalem, between the central
towns and the Jordan valley).
129
Yahshuah Upsets a Rogue’s Dinner Party
Lk.11
One night, one of the rogues of the Pharisees invited Yahshuah, and his
disciples, to a dinner party. The Pharisee acted shocked to see that neither
Yahshuah, nor his disciples, performed the elaborate water ritual of hand
washing which was so important to people who wanted to look holy. Yahshuah
saw his discomfort and said,
“I can see it upsets you that we do not perform the water ritual. Water rituals
cannot make you holy. They are a waste of time. Do you really think washing
your hands, cups, and plates makes you holy? Being clean is an inner work in
the spirit. Most of the Pharisees I have met, fuss over external things. They tithe
every mint, and rue, and herb of the garden, but ignore the serious things of the
Law like loving Adonai and showing mercy, and being faithful and being fair.
197
They are obsessive about washing their exteriors, but their interiors are full of
filthiness, greed, extortion, malice, wickedness, robbery, and secret sexual
perversions. They clean the outside of the cup, but not the inside. Do you really
think Adonai, who made the inside, and the outside, looks at the clean outside
and thinks you are clean? Of course not. You Pharisees need to clean up your
hearts. First, stop taking from the poor, and start giving to them instead, then you
will know what it means to be clean.
Most of the Pharisees that I have met are play actors, hypocrites, who only
pretend to love Adonai, but what they really love, are the best seats in the
synagogues, the best seats at the community suppers, and to be greeted by
everyone as Master, Adoni, Reverend, Rabbi, Father, your Honor, your Holiness,
and other exalted titles. They are nice looking, walking coffins full of death and
putrefaction. They are like graveyards where people can stand and admire the
pretty flowers and headstones without being aware of the decay, and maggots
tearing the corpses beneath their feet. Oh I am sorry, you are eating, I hope I am
not upsetting your stomachs, but I am fed up with you Pharisees pretending be
so holy.
A Mosaic Law Expert, sitting at the table, rebuked Yahshuah saying, “Rabbi
you tone is inappropriate.”
“Inappropriate? You want to know what is inappropriate? It is you Mosaic Law
Experts who pour over the Law with magnifying glasses trying to find the tiniest
law that was overlooked, so you can force it upon people telling them they will
perish if they do not obey it. You hypocrites do not even obey the laws
yourselves, but you love to put the full weight of the Law on everyone else’s
backs. You have never rescinded even one, but just keep pouring over the
Scrolls to find more and more to pile on. You are full of the venom of your
ancestors.
Matthew 23:33 Serpents, offspring of viper. Don’t think you can flee from the
punishment of hell fire?
You say, “if we had lived in the olden days we would never have murdered
the prophets. You hypocrites! Do not look so shocked, you are exactly like your
ancestors who killed the prophets, and you prove you are their descendants by
building monuments to the dead saints. Your ancestors murdered them and you
make sure their voices stay buried under the mountains of all your man made
laws. So do not think their blood is not on your heads, from the blood of Abel to
the blood of Z’kharYah. That’s why Yah in his wisdom has said:
I will send them prophets and messengers, writers, and wise men, and they
will kill some and persecute the rest.
For that reason you people living today will be held responsible for the
blood of the prophets which has been shed from the beginning of the world, from
Abel to Zechariah who was killed between the temple and the altar. Yes, I tell
you, you people today will be responsible for all of it. (Last Days Bible Lk 11:49
and Mt 23:34)
198
“I sent unto you my servants and the prophets, whom ye have taken and
slain, and torn their bodies in pieces, whose blood I will require of your hands
says Yah.” 2 Esdras (4 Ezra 1:32)
Woe to you Pharisees and Mosaic Law Experts, you hypocrites, I have come as
the door to Yah our Eloah, but you have taken the key of knowledge and locked
the door to the Kingdom of Yah, so that not only you cannot go through, but also
no one else can go through either. Away with you. (Mt 16:19, 23:13, Lk 11:52)
Woe to you religious hypocrites. You will go to the farthest land across the
sea to make one convert and the minute you have him, you corrupt him with your
commandments of men and traditions of the elders and he becomes such a
slave to your false system that he can never escape the Land of Death and he
becomes twice as devilish as you.
The Jewish Encyclopedia says each Pharisee was required to make one
convert a year.
With this Yahshuah, and his disciples, left the house in an uproar. The
Pharisees and Mosaic Law Experts were enraged, and some of them followed
him shouting taunts, hoping they could provoke him to say something that they
could use against him, however, he said nothing.
130
Warning Against the Teachings of the Pharisees Mt. 16:6
The next morning when they awoke there was such a huge crowd outside,
that they were stepping on each other’s toes as they surged forward. Before they
went out, while having breakfast, Yahshuah said,
“Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees which is hypocrisy. If you are only
pretending to love Father, it will become known. If you are wicked in private, but
put on a pious face in public, eventually, it will be found out. Whatever evil you
whisper in secret, will be broadcast everywhere.
Many wicked ones will try to stop you from teaching the Gospel of the
Kingdom, but you must maintain a peaceful spirit. Do not let them intimidate you.
Keep cool. After all, even if they can kill your body, they cannot touch your Zoë
life.
Fearfully reverencing Father is the key to destiny. He is the one you should
fear for he cannot only kill your body, but condemn you to the pit of annihilation.
Let fearful reverence for him strengthen and guide you.
Remember no matter what happens. Father will always be with you and cares
about the smallest things in your life.
Yah the Eloah of Tsebaoth - he is the One whom YOU should treat as holy
and he should be the object of YOUR fear, and he should be the One causing
YOU to tremble. Is.8:13
199
Do not be afraid to say you are my follower, but if you deny me, I have no
choice but to deny you.
Luke 12:8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall
this Mortal also confess before the angels of Yah: But he that denies me before
men shall be denied before the angels of Yah.
Now if someone, in ignorance, says something against me, it can be forgiven,
but if anyone knowingly speaks against Father, it will be beyond forgiveness.
If you are arrested for teaching the Gospel of the Kingdom, do not lay awake
planning what you will say in court. Just open your mouth and Father will give
you the right words.
131
Yahshuah Did Not come to Solve Economic Problems
Lk. 12
When they left the house, and were threading their way through the crowd, a
man said, “Rebbe, make my brother share our inheritance with me. It is not fair.
Tell him to share the wealth.”
Yahshuah replied, I do not recall anyone appointing me as a judge. Your
economic misfortune is not my doing, nor my business is it? You need to
extinguish covetousness in your heart. Eliminate your desire for the things of this
life, and live in peace with your brother.
There once was covetous, greedy man, who had so much stuff, that his
house, and barn, were overflowing. His field hands were bringing in a bumper
crop. He decided he needed to build a bigger barn. “Yes,” he thought, “Once I
have a bigger barn, I can eat drink and be merry. However, that very night Father
sent an angel to tap on his heart and say, “Times up.” Someone else got all his
stuff. The goal of this life is to find your way into Father’s Kingdom, not to
accumulate things. Those who spend their energy trying to get rich will end up
like that covetous man.
Don't hoard your goods; spread them around. Be a blessing to others. This
could be your last night. Ecclesiastes 11: 2
A man of faithful acts will get many blessings, but he that is hastening to
gain riches will not remain innocent. Pv.28:20
A man of an envious eye is bestirring himself after valuable things, but he
does not know that want itself will come upon him. Pv.28:22
A man may become rich through a miser's life, and this is his allotted reward:
When he says: "I have found rest, now I will feast on my possessions," He does
not know how long it will be till he dies and leaves them to others. Sirach 10:18
A proud man abhors lowliness; so does the rich man abhor the poor. Sirach
13:19
A rich man is wise in his own eyes. Pv. 28:11
200
Bread and grape juice are made for joy, and oil makes life merry; but money
brings one low and causes him to go astray in all things. Ecclesiastes 10: 19
Keeping watch over riches wastes the flesh, and the care of wealth drives
away rest. The lover of gold will not be free from sin, for he who pursues wealth
is led astray by it. Many have been ensnared by gold, though destruction lay
before their eyes. It is a stumbling block to those who are avid for it, a snare for
every fool. Sirach 31:1
132
Don’t Worry About Food or Drink
Lk.12
When they left the village, Yahshuah said to his followers, “Do not worry
about where you will get food or clothing. Look at the ravens, they are unclean,
and not pretty birds and they have annoying voices, but your Father takes care of
them. They do not have to plant fields or build barns, or toil in harvesting, but
Father gives them everything they need. Don’t you think you are more valuable
then many ravens? So if he clothes and feeds the lowest of his birds, don’t you
realize he will also clothe and feed you? Of course he will.
But rather seek ye the kingdom of Yah; and all these things shall be added unto
you. Luke 12:24
Seek Yah while he may be found,
call upon him while he is near;
let the wicked forsake their way,
and the unrighteous their thoughts;
let them return to Yah,, that he may have mercy on them,
and to our Eloah, for he will abundantly pardon. Is 55: 6
For the Zoe-life (eternal life) is worth more than food just as the body is more
valuable than clothing. Luke 12:23
Mark well that the Korakas (ravens) they neither sow seed nor reap, and they
have neither barns nor storehouses, and yet Yah feeds them. Aren’t you worth
more than the Korakas? Luke 12:24
So stop worrying. It is a waste of energy. It is negative mind power, and it
does not make your life better, but worse. People who do not believe in Father
hurt themselves by thinking worrisome thoughts. Do not be like them. Father
knows what you need, and will provide. If you devote your life to teaching his
Gospel (of the Kingdom), I guarantee that he will give you everything you need.
So instead of amassing possessions, turn it around and start selling them, or
giving them to the poor. When you give to the poor, you are putting treasure in
Father’s bank, and his bank is secure. No robbers can get into his bank, not even
one moth, and his interest rates are out of this world. Here is a simple but
profound truth, where your treasures are is where your heart will be also.
201
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the
kingdom. Sell that ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax
not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches,
neither moth corrupts. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Lk.12:32
To a poor man, however, be generous; keep him not waiting for your alms;
Because of the precept, help the needy, and in their want, do not send them away
empty-handed. Spend your money for your brother and friend, and hide it not
under a stone to perish; Dispose of your treasure as the Most High commands,
for that will profit you more than the gold. Store up almsgiving in your treasure
house, and it will save you from every evil; Better than a stout shield and a
sturdy spear it will fight for you against the foe. Sirach 29:8
133
Be Alert and On the Look Out
Mt. 24
Be like house servants waiting for the young master to return from being a
guest at a wedding. Fix everything to perfection and stay awake. Keep the
candles burning and have on your best clothes. When he knocks, do not make
him wait, but throw open the door with a flair of joy bowing graciously. How
happy he will be if he finds everything ready. He will be so proud of you that he
will ask you to sit at the table. He will pretend that he is the servant and you are
the master. He will put on an apron and serve you the food. So stay on your
toes. He might be late.
If a homeowner knew when a burglar would come, he would not be sleeping,
would he? You have someone far more important to be ready for.”
Peter asked, “Are you are you getting married, or is this a parable?
It is a parable. Did I say the young man was getting married? No, I said he
was at a wedding. I am talking about when I return on the Resurrection Day. I will
be like the young master in the story. Now what if the young master told his chief
house servant to be a good steward and take care of all the needs of the other
servants. What will he do when he returns home and finds everyone healthy, and
happy and full of praise for the chief servant?
“He will give him a handsome reward.”
“That is right, but what if he comes home and finds the servants
malnourished, sick, and hears reports that the chief servant was stuffing himself
and drunk all the time, and beat the other servants?’
“He will have him whipped, and thrown into a dungeon.”
Yes he will cut him to pieces and cast the pieces into the dungeon of the
hypocrites where there will be biting and snarling and weeping.
My son, while you are well, govern your appetite so that you allow it not
what is bad for you; For not every food is good for everyone, nor is everything
202
suited to every taste. Be not drawn after every enjoyment, neither become a
glutton for choice foods, For sickness comes with overeating, and gluttony
brings on biliousness. Through lack of self-control many have died. Sirach 36:2
Become not a glutton and a winebibber with nothing in your purse. Sirach 17:33
By surfeiting many have perished: but he that is temperate, shall prolong life.
Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 37: 34
Father’s Kingdom works the same way. To whom much is given, much is
required. Now if a servant does bad things in ignorance, he will still be beaten,
but his punishment will be lighter, nevertheless he will be punished. And the
servant who did understand, and nevertheless disobeyed will be whipped
severely.
So be ready for this mortal (me the Messiah) will return at an hour when most
people will least expect him.
Father lit me like a small fire in the darkness. I wish that I was already a great
blaze. (Fire gives light, but it also burns up things. When the light exposes some
people’s sins, they become angry and try to douse the fire).
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already
kindled?
You were taught that when the Messiah comes his fire would bring light and
peace to the world. I will bring peace, but first I will be like a wild forest fire. My
Gospel of the Kingdom will cause conflict, strife and division. It will be met with
hatred. Some families will split, three for Father, and two against him. Fathers
and children will split. Mothers and daughters may go separate ways, one into
the light, and the other into darkness.
Therefore the Sovereign, the Eloah of (angel) hosts,
will send wasting sickness among his stout warriors,
and under his glory a burning will be kindled,
like the burning of fire.
The light of Israel will become a fire,
and his Holy One (The Messiah) a flame;
and it will burn and devour
his thorns and briers in one day.
The glory of his forest and his fruitful land
Yah will destroy, both soul and body,
and it will be as when an invalid wastes away.
And the rest of the trees of the forest shall be few, so that a boy might write them.
And it shall be in that day, the remnant of Israel, and the escaped ones from the house
of Jacob, shall not any more lean on him who struck him. But they will truly lean on
Yah, the Holy One of Israel.
The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob,(the little Flock) to the mighty
El Shaddai (Yah).
For though Your people Israel is like the sand of the sea,
only a remnant of it shall return. Is 10:16-21. (NRSV)
203
134 Yahshuah’s Gospel of the Kingdom Will Cause Division Not Peace Lk. 12
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather
division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three
against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son,
and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter
against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the
daughter in law against her mother in law. Luke 12:51
Let us continue our journey. I have a fiery baptism waiting for me, and I can
feel it calling me onward.
135
Wake Up Time is Running Out
Lk. 13
Later that day, they met a crowd and Yahshuah taught them saying,
You are very wise when it comes to reading the weather signs, but very
ignorant when it comes to spiritual signs. For example when you see clouds
rolling in from the Sea, you say, “rain is coming,” and when you feel the hot
Scirocco wind blowing up from the desert in the south you say, “It will be a
scorcher today”. You play acting hypocrites, you can read the signs of the winds
and the clouds, but you cannot see Father’s Shokeyn Glory cloud coming. You
cannot feel the winds of his spirit blowing. Wake up before you are scorched for
good.
You all wake up pretty fast when your neighbor is hauling you to the judge
and you are crying, “Wait! Wait, let’s make a deal.” Because you know when he
gets you to the judge you will not come out of prison until, you have paid the last
coin of your debt.
(Well wake up, you have all been summoned to give an account for your
crimes, and I am here to offer you a plea bargain. Do you want to hear it?)
A rogue in the crowd yelled. “Are you offering to make us Galileans? No,
thanks. Pilate hates all Galileans, just last week he killed a bunch and offered
their blood on the altar.”
The Roman Senate outlawed humans sacrifices is 97 BC, but
conquering Romans were known to kill prisoners to Mars in the distant
provinces, so either Pilate sacrificed them to Mars, or he killed some Jews
in the Jewish temple making a sacrifice. Since there is no record of the
latter, and it would have touched off major rioting it must be the former.
According to Josephus not long after he had Yahshuah crucified, Pilate
slaughtered the Samaritans who had peacefully gathered for a religious
meeting on Mt. Gerizim. (Josephus (Ant., XVIII, iv, 1, 2)
Philo a Jewish writer living in Egypt at the time of Pilate “speaks of
Pilate in terms of the severest condemnation. According to him, Pilate was
204
a man of a very inflexible disposition, and very merciless as well as
obstinate. Philo calls him a man of most ferocious passions, and speaks of
his corruption, his acts of insolence, his rapine, his habit of insulting
people, his cruelty, his continual murders of people untried and
uncondemned, and his never-ending and most grievous inhumanity.
“(Legatio ad Caium, xxxviii) http://www.studylight.org/enc/isb/view.cgi?number=T6934
Yahshuah answered, unless you accept my plea bargain, you will all die like
that, whether you are Galileans or not. Do you think those Galileans were
murdered because they were the worst sinners in this nation? What about those
eighteen men who died when the Tower of Siloam fell on them? They were not
Galileans. And to answer your question, no, my offer is not to make Galileans out
of you. There is only one way to pass safely through this life into Father’s
Kingdom and that is by obeying the Gospel I bring. You must change your course
of action now, for the clouds are already blowing in off the sea and the hot
Sirocco wind is already coming up from the South.
Time is running out. How long would you keep a fig tree that did not produce
figs?
The owner of such a tree came for figs in its third year, and his fig tree was
always barren. “What a waste of soil”, he thought. He told his gardener to chop it
down. The gardener said, “Adoni, give me one more year. I will loosen the soil,
fertilize it, and tend it, and if it has no fruit by next Spring, I will cut it down,
Well your year is almost up people. You need a new life, and you need it
now. You need to get with Father’s plan today.
136
Healing the Bent Woman
Lk. 13
At sundown, Sabbath began, and they camped near a synagogue. The next
morning the ruler of the synagogue asked Yahshuah to speak. As he was
speaking, he saw a bent-over woman enter and go behind the screen where the
women sat. An (angel) demon had entered her body eighteen years ago and
would not let her stand up straight. Yahshuah called her to come forward and he
said, “Woman, you are now freed from that demon that has tormented you.” He
placed both of his hands on her shoulders, and she stood up straight, and began
praising Yah. The ruler of the synagogue however was furious and said, “The
Law says you may labor six days, but not on the seventh. If you want to be
healed come on one of those six, but not on the seventh.”
Yahshuah thundered back, “You hypocrite, every one of you is a hypocrite.
The first thing you do every Sabbath morning is untie your cows and donkeys
from your stalls and give them food and water. You do not even think twice about
it. So why am I sinner if I untie this daughter of Abraham and lead her from her
stall where Azazel has had her tied for eighteen years?’
205
The ruler of the synagogue had no answer, and in fact now felt ashamed of
what he said. The people sitting there were delighted and eagerly awaiting the
next thing, he would say or do.
137
How Many Will Make it to the Kingdom?
Mt. 7:14
He said, “People always ask me if there will be many or few who enter
Father’s Kingdom. Whether there be many or few does not matter. What matters
is that you strive with all your strength to make it. The path is narrow, and the
door is small. Many people think it is a stroll on the beach, but I tell you the way
is difficult and requires your full concentration. Once Father’s banquet is ready,
he will lock the door. You can knock as loud as you want, but he will not open the
door. The half-hearted will be outside saying “Father let us in.” He will say, “Go
away. I do not know you.’ They will say, “Surely you know us. We always blessed
our food when we prayed. We went to hear all your teachers and preachers. We
heard your Gospel often.” He will reply, “Hearing and doing are two different
things. I cannot let the half-hearted share in this banquet. Go away.”
I tell you if you end up in that crowd you will be weeping and gnashing your
teeth snarling and biting , as you look in the window, and see Abraham, Yitzhak
and Yah-kov and all the prophets eating at the head table. You will weep even
more when you see the despised non-Jews from all the nations of the world
sitting there feasting, while you who we born into the covenant are on the
outside; cut off forever. As an Hebrew, you were born to be first, but if you miss
Father’s Kingdom, you will be last.
138
Yerushalayim the Desolate
Lk.13
A rogue said, “You better flee beyond the Yardan River, like King David did,
for Antipas has issued a death warrant for you.”
Yahshuah replied, “I am not afraid of Antipas. If you see him, tell that decrepit
old fox were to find me. Tell him I am marching to Yerushalayim sweeping every
demon out of my way. For no prophet can perish outside of Yerushalayim, the
city that kills every prophet and messenger sent from Father. How often Father
wanted to gather Yerushalayim under his wings to protect it, the way a mother
bird protects her chicks.
“I gathered you together; as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but
now what shall I do unto you? I will cast your out from my face…your house is
desolate.” 2 Edras (4 Ezra.1:32-33)
Keep me as the apple of your eye, hide me under the shadow of your wings.
Psa 17:8
However, they rejected the Messiah . So now, he will no longer call her his
beloved city, but the forsaken city, the desolate place.
206
It is written: Woe to the city of oppressors, rebellious and defiled! She obeys
no-one, she accepts no correction. She does not trust in Yah the Eloah of the
Tsebaoth, she does not draw near to her Eloah. Her officials are roaring lions,
her rulers are evening wolves, who leave nothing for the morning. Her
prophets are arrogant; they are treacherous men. Her priests profane the
sanctuary and do violence to the law. Yah Eloah Tsebaoth within her is
righteous; he does no wrong. Morning by morning he dispenses his justice,
and every new day he does not fail, yet the unrighteous know no shame.
Zephaniah 3:1-5
See, the day! See, it comes!
Your doom has gone out.
The rod has blossomed, pride has budded.
Violence has grown into a rod of wickedness.
None of them shall remain,
not their abundance, not their wealth;
no pre-eminence among them.
The time has come, the day draws near;
let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn,
for wrath is upon all their multitude. Ezek 7: 10 -12
For It is written: I will ruin the plans for Judah and Yerushalayim in this
place and I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies, and at the
hands of those who seek their life. I will give their dead bodies as food to the
birds of the air and to the wild animals of the earth. I will make this city a
horror and an object of scorn; everyone that passes by will be appalled and will
scoff because of all of its disasters. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Ezek 17:7
It is written: And I will come near to you to judgment; and I will be a swift
witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against the false
swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow,
and the fatherless, and that turn aside the sojourner from his right, and fear not
me, say Yah of Tsebaoth (minions of angels). Malachi 3:5
It is written: And Yah said unto me, The end is come upon my people Israel:
I will not pardon them anymore. And the songs of the palace shall be howlings
in that day, says the highest Elohim Yah. The dead bodies shall be many; in
every place they shall be cast forth. Amos 8:2
They that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and
eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves from the midst of the stall; that
chant to the sound of the lute, [and] invent them instruments of music, like
David; that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief
ointments; but are not grieved for the fall of Joseph. Therefore shall they now go
captive, with the first that go captive, and the revelry of them that stretched
207
themselves shall pass away. Yah the Eloah had sworn by himself, thus says Yah
Eloah Tsebaoth , I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces; and I will
deliver up the city with all that is therein. Amos 6:4-7
Dionysius’ symbol the vine and the grapes were on the main gate to the
Herod’s Jerusalem temple.
Above the gate of the Temple were golden vines and grape-clusters as large
as a man ("Ant." xv. 11, § 3; "B. J." v. 5, § 4).
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their
grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: Their wine is the poison of
dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. (Deut.32:32-33)
It is written in the Scroll of Joel:
Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain; let all the
inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of Yah comes, for it is at hand; a day
of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and gross darkness, as the dawn spread
upon the mountains; -- a great people and a strong (The Romans); there has not
been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, to the years of
generations and generations. A fire devours before them, and behind them a
flame burns; the land is as a garden of Eden before them, and behind them a
desolate wilderness: yea, and nothing escapes them. The appearance of them is
as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so they run. Like the noise of
chariots, on the tops of the mountains, they leap; like the noise of a flame of fire
that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Before them the
peoples are in anguish: all faces turn pale. They run like mighty men; they climb
the wall like men of war; and they march everyone on his ways, and break not
their ranks. Neither does one press upon another; they march everyone in his
path; and fall amid weapons, but are not wounded. They spread themselves over
the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in by
the windows like a thief. The earth quakes before them; the heavens tremble; the
sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. Joel 2:111
It is written in the Scroll of Hosea
“But you have cultivated wickedness and harvested a thriving crop of sins. You
have eaten the fruit of lies—trusting in your military might, believing that great
armies could make your nation safe. Now the terrors of war will rise among
your people. All your fortifications will fall, just as when Shalman destroyed
Beth-arbel. Even mothers and children were dashed to death there. You will
share that fate. Hosea 10:13-15
208
Yahshuah said: And when I arrive in Yerushalayim, only those who say, “Here
comes the Messiah bearing Yah’s name”, will recognize me for who I am, the
rest will reject me, and slay me.
139
Yahshuah Spoils the Stew Dinner
Lk. 14:3
The next Sabbath another one of the rogues from the Pharisee party invited
Yahshuah, and his disciples, to his home for a Sabbath stew. He had laid a trap,
for several lawyers were there, and a man with severe painful swelling in the
joints of his hand. They were hoping Yahshuah would break Sabbath and heal
the man. Yahshuah saw through their trap and asked,
“Is it lawful to heal on Sabbath? What do you think?”
They were all silent. He touched the man’s hand and immediately the swelling
and pain left him. Then he turned to them and said, If on Sabbath your child, was
to fall into a well and was drowning, none of you would say, “I am sorry, I cannot
help you, it is Sabbath.” You would immediately throw a rope, or lower a ladder,
or go down into the well yourself and pull her out. This Child of Yah was
drowning in a well of pain. Was I wrong to pull him out?”
No one could answer him. He had noticed how they fought for the best seats
when they came to the table and so, he said,
“A man was invited to a wedding. When he came in, he saw an empty couch
at the table of honor and reclined in it. When all the guests were all reclining, the
man for whom the chair had been reserved came in with the host, and in front of
everyone, the first man was asked to give up his couch. Can you imagine how
chagrinned he must have felt? So in this life do not pick the best couches for
yourself. Always choose a lower couch, so when the host comes and invites you
to a better couch, you will have honor instead of shame. Those who exalt
themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves, will be exalted.
Seek not from Yah authority, nor from the king a place of honor. Sirach 13:4
The beginning of pride is man's stubbornness in withdrawing his heart from
his Maker; For pride is the reservoir of sin, a source which runs over with vice;
Because of it Yah sends unheard-of afflictions and brings men to utter ruin. The
thrones of the arrogant Yah overturns and establishes the lowly in their stead.
The roots of the proud Yah plucks up, to plant the humble in their place: He
breaks down their stem to the level of the ground, then digs their roots from the
earth. The traces of the proud Yah sweeps away and effaces the memory of them
from the earth. Sirach 8:12
The greater thou art, the more humble thyself in all things, and thou shalt
find grace before Yah: For great is the power of Yah alone, and he is honored by
the humble. Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate) 3:20
209
Pride is the beginning of all sin: be that holds it, shall be filled with
maledictions, and it shall ruin him in the end. Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin
Vulgate) 10:15
Then addressing the rogue who had invited him to his home, he said, Thank
you for your hospitality and the fine meal, but if you really want to gain Father’s
favor, do not invite important people to your home, for they will then invite you to
their homes. When you invite people, invite those who cannot repay you. Invite
the lame, and, the blind, and the poor. That is what real hospitality is all about in
Father’s eyes. If you do this, he will invite you to his banquet for the just one on
the Resurrection Day.
“Satan, who always appears at a feast in which no poor people participate,
and keeps aloof from those to which poor guests are invited.” (From Legends of
the Jews, Ginsburg http://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/loj/loj107.htm)
One of the guests was so moved by the comment that he blurted out. “Oh I
want to be at that banquet.”
140
The Man Who Threw a Banquet and in Desperation Invited Non-Jews
Speaking of banquets, Yahshuah said. There was a rich man (the Father)
who planned a big banquet (the coming kingdom) for all his relatives, community
leaders and friends. (Yahshuah looked at all the Pharisees at the table and said,
“This story may be about you”). When the day for the banquet arrived, he sent
out his servants to tell them to come (this could be the prophets), for the food
was on the table. However, house after house the servants heard the same
message. “Sorry we are too busy.” One man said he was making an important
real estate deal. Another said I have a shipment of cattle coming. Another said I
just got married and we plan to spend the day snuggling.
When the servants reported to the rich man, he was angry, for previously,
everyone said they would come, and he had many tables laden with the best
foods. He had an idea. He told the servants to go out into the village and invite
everyone they saw, even the beggars (these would be the sinners). Immediately
the messengers left and after a while returned smiling. Nevertheless, when the
rich man saw only a small crowd, and so much food, he called his servants again
and said, “Go outside the village and go into the highways and byways and invite
everyone you find (that would be the non-Jews). At last, the banquet hall was
filled and it was the best party the village had ever seen.
But the rich man was heard to say,” If any of those who were first invited dare
to show their faces, do not let them in. They will not get a crumb from my table.”
The Pharisees were speechless for they clearly understood that Yahshuah
was saying that unless they responded to his call, the Non-Jews would take their
place at Adonai’s table, to them it was a preposterous and blasphemous
suggestion.
210
141
The Message of Hate
The next day a great multitude was following them down the road. When they
came to a wide area, Yahshuah turned, and when they had come close, he said,
“Who wants to be one of my disciples?” Every hand went up.
“It means surrendering your family, your wife and children, father and mother
and everything you own.
If any man come to me, and hates not his father, and mother, and wife, and
children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my
disciple. Lk.14:26
And whosoever doth not bear his cross (torture stake), and come after me,
cannot be my disciple. 14:27
” But[a great crowd was going with him, and turning he said to them: If anyone
comes to me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and
brothers and sisters, yet even his own psyche-life , is not able to be my disciple.”
Faithful N.T.- Lk.14:25
"he that loves his life shall lose it and he that hates his life in this world shall
keep it unto life eternal." (John 12:25)
A good name is better than good ointment, and the day of death than the
day of birth. From the Dead Sea Scrolls version of Ecclesiastes 7:1
"So likewise whosever he be of you that forsakes not all that he has cannot be
my disciple." (Luke 14:33)
Let neither son nor wife, neither brother nor friend, have power over you as
long as you live. Sirach 33:20
"Everyone who forsakes houses, relatives, brothers and sisters, fathers, mothers,
children and nations for my sake shall receive a hundredfold and shall inherit
everlasting life." (Mt.19:29)
(Editor’s note: It’s sad to think that some people love their psychic life so
much that they devote their lives and fortunes and affections to serving an
earthly nation and miss the heavenly nation. They would do well to hear the
words of Job and Isaiah:
Job 14:1 Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: we disappear like shadows.
Job 7:3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are
appointed to me. When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be
gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.
211
Job 7:6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without
hope.
Look the nations are like a drop from a bucket and are considered dust on the
scales. Look he even lifts up the islands like powder. All the nations are nothing
to him and he considers them as nothingness and chaos. From the Dead Sea
Scrolls Isaiah 40:15
Yahshuah said:
That which is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of
Yah.
Luke 16: 15
For he has preserved the lot of the righteous, because they have hated and
rejected this world of iniquity, and have detested all its works and ways. Enoch
48:4
Let everyone with ears use them.
142
Before You Say Yes, Count the Cost
Following me leads to death nailed to an execution stake (crossbeam)
hanging in a tree. Do you love me enough to bear that? Count the cost and see if
you have what it takes. No one builds a tower until he estimates if he has enough
money. If he starts to build, but has not enough money to finish, his neighbors
will mock him as a fool.
Or what king, marching to meet another in war, does not first sit down and
take counsel whether he is able with ten thousand troops to cope with the one
that comes against him with twenty thousand? If, in fact, he cannot do so, then
while that one is still far away he sends out a body of ambassadors to request
conditions of peace. Thus, you may be sure, none of YOU that does not say goodbye to all his belongings, can be my disciple. Luke 14:31
This is an all out war. Do you have what it takes to win the battle? Once you
pick up the crossbeam, and start up the hill to be hung in a tree, you cannot let
your love for family hold you back. Count the cost. Do you have what it takes? If
you try to hold onto your life and follow me at the same time, you will be like salt
that has lost its saltiness. You will not be good to me, to yourself, or to anybody.
Salt that goes flat is not even useful on the dung heap. It is just thrown out. If you
understand what I just told you, do not let it go in one ear and out the other. Act
on it. Do it now. Forsaking all others, come and follow me.
143
The Shepherd and the One Lost Sheep
Mt. 12
212
Some rogues in the crowd were complaining about how Yahshuah spent time
with whores and tax collectors who worked for the idol-worshipping Romans and
other notorious sinners. Yahshuah looked right at them and said, “If you were a
shepherd with one hundred sheep, and when you reached the camp at night,
discovered you had lost one, wouldn’t you leave the ninety-nine sheep with
someone and go looking for the lost one? Of course, you would. Moreover, when
you found him and put him on your shoulders and carried him back, as you
neared the camp wouldn’t you shout out, “Hey look I found the little rascal”, and
all the shepherds would rejoice with you. Well that is why I spend time with the
sinners. They are the lost sheep and I am trying to bring them back to Father’s
camp. I tell you the angels rejoice in heaven every time a lost sinner is brought
back to Father’s camp.
144
The Housewife Seeks the Lost Gold Coin
Lk. 15
If you had ten silver coins and you lost one, you would turn the house upside
down and light every candle, and keep searching until you found it. And when
you found it, everyone in the house would be rejoicing. Well I am turning the
highways and byways, towns and villages of Israel upside down looking for the
lost ones. Is that such a disgrace?
145
The Two Prodigal Sons
Lk. 15
Let me tell you a story, there was man who had two sons. When the youngest
one came of age he said, “Abba when you die you will leave me an inheritance.
You would really make me happy if you gave it to me now before you die.
Therefore, the father called his two sons to him and divided the inheritance that
night. The next morning the youngest son was gone. He was on his way to a
legendary city in a far country where the women were beautiful and the living was
easy. With all his money, he was the life of the party. He drank, gambled, and
squandered his wealth on the lovely ladies. He never once wrote home and his
loving, grief-stricken father thought his son had surely been robbed and
murdered.
Just as the young man’s money ran out, a famine swept over that land. He
persuaded a local farmer to hire him and was assigned the task of feeding the
pigs. As the day wore on, neither the farmer, nor his fellow workers offered him
any food. He was so hungry he wanted to eat the pods he was feeding the swine,
but was afraid he would be fired, if he did.
As he stood there, ankle deep in the mud, and foul smelling pig droppings,
tired, disgusted, and half-starved, he thought about his father. He could see the
farmhands sitting at the table eating heartily. He said to himself, “back home
213
even the farmhands have more than enough food, while I am here starving to
death.” Suddenly he came to his senses. “I do not have to stay here, I can go
home. I will go to Abba and ask his forgiveness telling him that I have sinned
against him and against Yah. I will tell him I am no longer worthy to be his son
and beg him to take me back as a hired hand.”
Since pigs were associated with the cult of the moon goddess, and
swineherds were soothsayers, this may be the story of someone who left
the Eloah of Israel and was initiated into the Asherah cult, but repented and
returned to Yah, the one true Eloah.
What made Yah unique was that he was truly one , without partners, or
companions. All the gods of the ancient times had female consorts who
were usually their own mother, or at least their sister. Yah was never
associated with an incestuous female counterpart. All of the other gods
were fertility war gods. Inebriation, violence and sexual mayhem were
practiced by their followers, often involving pederasty with children and
child sacrifice. Yah was a good God, who upheld marital faithfulness,
premarital purity, the elevation and equality of women and protection of
children, sobriety, peace, kind treatment of animals, stewardship of the
land, freeing of slaves, and brotherly love.
A Canaanite stele was uncovered recently in Israel that speaks of
Yahveh and Asherah as consorts. Much has been written speculating that
Asherah was Yah’s companion. It is wishful thinking, and it only proves
that there were some in Israel who did worship both as partners, but the
prophets railed against them for their mixing of Yah with the goddess. The
entire weight of scriptures says Yah, whom we call father, is alone and is
not a fertility God, being as all spirits are without gender. His wisdom
enjoins us to control our sexual passions, avoid all violence, never harm
children; especially sexually and not put our affections on earthly things
like prosperity and abundant crops.
So the wayward son began his long journey home on foot, drinking from
rivers, eating whatever roots, or berries, he could find. At last, one late afternoon,
he came over a rise, and saw his father’s house. At that very moment, the old
man was sitting on the porch praying for news of his son. When the old man saw
him, he hobbled into the road, and then broke into a run. His heart was
overflowing with love and joy as he reached his son and hugged him repeatedly,
praising Yah in a loud voice.
The son fell to his knees and began saying his practiced speech, “Father I
have sinned against Yah and against you...” But his dad wasn’t listening. He was
shouting at the farmhands that had come out to see why the old man was so
excited. “Father I am not worthy to be called your son...”
“Quick, bring some clean clothes, and some water. Looks who is home. Bring
the best robe in the house and the family ring. Do not forget some sandals.”
214
Then he answered and said to those standing before him: Remove the
befouled garments from upon him. And he went on to say: See; I have caused
your error to pass away from upon you, and there is a clothing of you with robes
of state. Zec.3:4
He lifted his son, put his arm around him and together they started towards
the house. The dad saw another farmhand and said, “Go kill the red heifer and
roast her. We’re going to have a feast.”
(Yahshuah stopped the story, looked at the rogues with their stern faces, and
said. This is how Father welcomes home sinners who come back to him.) Then
he went on with the story. Meanwhile the elder brother, the one who had always
done everything right, was coming in from the fields, where he had been laboring
all day under the hot sun.
As he neared the house, he heard music and as he glanced in the window,
saw people dancing. He saw a farmhand and asked what was going on.
“Your brother’s home, and we’ve killed the heifer and we’re having a big party
for him.” When the elder brother heard this, he was angry and went to the barn to
sulk. When the Father learned that the elder brother was pouting in the barn, he
went to see him. He begged him to come in and greet his brother. However, he
refused saying, “this is so wrong. I have always done everything you asked all
these years, and you never threw a party for me. But my brother ran off and
probably spent all his money on booze and whores, and when he comes home,
you kill the fatted calf and celebrate.”
“My son you do not understand. You have always brought me joy. This farm
belongs to you. But as far as I knew my other son was dead and lost forever.
Now I find him alive. I cannot help but celebrate. Aren’t you glad to know he is
alive? Don’t you love him too? Come into the house and rejoice with us.
(Yahshuah paused for a long time and finally one of the rogues asked, “Well,
did he go into the house and greet his brother?”
You tell me. You Pharisees and Mosaic Law Experts are the elder brother in
the story. You find it disgraceful that I run and embrace sinners who come to
hear about Father’s Kingdom. You are standing in the barn shaking your heads
saying, “This is all wrong.” Won’t you come into the Father’s house and be
welcomed?)
146 The Dishonest Accountant is Praised for Planning Ahead
Lk. 16
Once they were on the road again, Yahshuah said,
There was a rich man who had an accountant. He discovered the accountant
had made some mistakes and decided to fire him. He told him, “I am not happy
with your work. I want you to put the Scrolls in order and be gone in ten days.”
The accountant of course was distraught. He was too old to do manual labor
and too proud to beg, but he had an idea. He thought of a plan to earn friends
215
who would take him in in time of trouble. He called in everyone, one-at-a-time,
who owed his master money and he announced that he had convinced the
Master to lower his, or her, debt. He figured that the people would love him for
this favor. They did. The first one came in and he asked him, “What do you
owe?” He said, “800 jars of oil.” The accountant said, “I have convinced the
master to only charge you for 400. The next man owed a thousand bushels of
wheat and he marked it down to 800, and he did this with every debtor. What do
you think the master did when he found out?”
“He probably had him arrested.”
“No”, chuckled Yahshuah, “the rich man said, “Why that scalawag, he was
pretty shrewd.”
He who does a kindness is remembered afterward; when he falls, he finds a
support. Sirach 3:30
147
The Parable of the Dishonest Accountant Explained (in case this
one got by you too)
So what is the point of this parable? Am I telling you to be dishonest? Of
course not! This evil child of Azazel knew how to use dishonest money to make
friends. Money (as filthy as it is) can be used on your journey towards the Father,
if you use it to help others and advance the Gospel. If you give generously to the
worthy poor and are faithful with little things, then Father will entrust bigger things
to you. However, if you are stingy and unfaithful in little things, you will lose even
what little you have. What I am saying is if you cannot be faithful with money,
which is sin-tainted, how can Father entrust holy things to you?
Before you die, be good to your friend, and give him a share in what you
possess. Sirach 14:13
For he well knows the way I take. After he has tested me out, I shall come
forth as gold itself. Job.23:10
148 Queen Mammon and Her Prosperity Loving Servants
Lk. 16
Now I know that money has a big hold on most people, but you must not be
ensnared by it. You cannot serve Father, and the (angel) demon Queen
Mammon (goddess of fortune –Lilith-Naamah-Lakshmi-Gea-Kamakura-EraKuan Yin.
Choose Father, not money. (Most rabbis taught that wealth was a sign of
Yah’s blessing, so when the rogues in the crowd heard this, they began to scoff).
Yahshuah said to them,
“Ah look who are here, the masters of deception”. You are like play actors
(hypocrites) who paint their faces to look good when they get up in front of an
216
audience, but Father knows what is going on behind the paint. He knows what is
going on in your hearts. You teach that Father wants us wealthy, fat and
powerful. You are really the disciples of Queen Mammon. You try to prop her up
by twisting the scriptures. If you had listened to John, the Baptizer, you would
have knocked that Jezebel idol down and be climbing over anything that got in
your way that you might keep you out of Father’s Kingdom. Instead, you continue
in your adultery with your queen. )
that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of Yah.
Lk.16:13
“No house-domestic is able to be slaving to twO Yahs. Either the one he will
hate and the other will he agape-love, or to the one will he cling and the other
will he despise. You cannot be slaving to Yah and mammon”. (Faithful N.T.)
149
Dives, the Rich Man, and Eliezer, the Beggar
Lk. 16
Let me tell you another story.
There was a very rich man named Dives who lived in a mansion (sounds like a
Pharisee, or a lawyer, or a Sadducee). He wore the finest purple/scarlet clothes,
and dined each day on the best food and drinks (sounds like the Mosaic Law).
There was this poor starving beggar named Eliezar (sounds like a gentile) lying
outside the gate of the Mansion (sounds like the Nation of Israel). He was
covered with sores (sins?), and hoped to get some scraps (spiritual knowledge
about Yah) from the rich man’s table. However, he never sent any to him. He had
no pity for him, but his dogs (fellow gentiles) did, they came and licked his sores.
Both men died on the same night. The angels took Eliezar to Abraham’s house
and Dives, the Rich man to the pit of annihilation. The rich man lifted up his eyes
and saw Eliezar eating with Abraham, and cried out, “Grandfather Abraham,
have pity on me. Send Eliezar with a drop of water on the tip of his finger to cool
my tongue for I am burning and choking.”
However, Abraham replied, “Sorry grandson, in your life you cornered all the
good things (knowledge of Yah), but never shared them with people like Eliezar
(gentiles). Therefore, you are getting what you earned. And I cannot send him
because just as you created a wall between you and Eliezar when you were
alive, now there is a wall between my house and where you are.” Then Dives
said, Grandfather Abraham, I have five brothers, which are still alive. Please
send Eliezar to warn them, so they will not end up in the pit of annihilation.
Abraham replied, “They’ve already been warned by Moses and the prophets.
Every week they go to the synagogue and hear the warning.’
Dives said, “But they do not believe it, like I did not believe it.”
“I am sorry grandson, but if they do not believe Moses and the prophets, they
will not believe even if a man comes back from the dead and tells them.”
217
Those in the front (the unbelieving Jews) now will be replaced by those in the
back (the believing gentiles).
150
The Size of Faith
As they went on their way, the disciples said, “Adoni please increase our
faith.” he said, it is not the size that is important, it is if you believe or not. If you
have faith the size of a mustard seed, you could command this Black Mulberry
tree to uproot itself and throw itself into the sea and it would obey you.
In 2 Samuel 5:24 David was told to wait until he heard a rustling in the
leaves of the Mulberry bush before he attacked the Philistines.
“And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the
mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall Yah go out
before you, to smite the host of the Philistines.”
The Mulberry was sacred to the triple goddess, for like the moon its
berries are first white, then red, then black. Because the moon appears like
a bull’s horns, it is the white cow (or bull) “Queen of Heaven” or “ Queen of
the Sea”.
Robert Graves says, “I write of her as the White Goddess because white
is her principal color, the color of the first member of her moon-trinity, but
when Suidas, the Byzantine, records that Io was a cow that changed her
color from white to rose then to black he means that the New Moon is the
white goddess of birth and growth; the Full Moon, the red goddess of love
and battle; the Old Moon, the black goddess of death and divination.”
(Graves, Robert, The White Goddess, Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, NY, 1948,
p.70)
When the leaves of the Mulberry tree are rustling that means Yah is
engaging in battle with Azazel. Yahshuah is telling his followers that if they
have even the tiniest faith, they will be victorious. Remember this battle
takes place in the realm of spirits, so don’t go out attacking Wiccans, we
are to love the humans and fight the spirits.
151 Brothers and Sister of the Messiah Must have the Humble
Attitude of Slaves
That night, they camped on the border of Samaria, and as they sat around the
campfire Yahshuah said, “I sense that some of you are feeling a little proud about
being my disciples. You are my brothers and sisters, but you must have the
humble attitude of slaves. If you had a servant and he came in from working in
the field, or tending the sheep, you would not sit him at the table and serve him
218
dinner. You would expect him to prepare the meal and serve you dinner, and
after you had dined, you would expect him to clear the table, and take the dishes
to the kitchen and clean them. You wouldn’t praise him for doing what he is
supposed to do would you? No. It is the same with Father. You are to humbly do
his will and when you do what you are supposed to do, you have nothing to be
smug about. You simply state, “Just like a common slave, I have only done what
I was told to do”. So do not think so highly of yourselves and do not work for
praise, honors or rewards. Work for Father because you love him and want to
serve him.
152
Yahshuah Heals Ten Lepers
Lk. 17
In the morning, in a grove of trees, ten lepers called to Yahshuah. “Rebbe,
have mercy on us?” He replied. “It is done. Go and show yourselves to the
priests.” Immediately their leprosy was cured, and they began running towards
the village. One of them, a Samaritan, stopped, turned around, and came back to
thank Yahshuah. He threw himself at his feet and began thanking him
repeatedly.
Yahshuah looked at the disciples and asked, “Did I not heal ten lepers? It
looks like only this one from another nation was thankful for the gift he received.
Stand up. Go in peace, your faith has saved you.”
153
Some Rogues Have a Change of Heart
Lk. 17
The country was crawling with rogues among the Pharisees. There were a
few good Pharisees who became followers, but for the most part, they were
money-hungry con artists out to make a large profit using religion. Some of them
followed Yahshuah into Samaria and when they overtook him, they said, “Rabbi
we have come along way to hear about Father’s Kingdom.” actually they had
tracked him down hoping to catch him teaching some heresy, so they could
stone him, hoping to get a cash reward. “When will Father’s Kingdom begin?”
they asked.
Father’s Kingdom has already begun, but you cannot see it. You cannot say it
is on this corner or that. You cannot measure it, or build a building and say it is
there. Wherever you feel love, it is there. Wherever you hear truth, it is there.
Wherever secret kind deeds are done, it is there. You might be in a distant land
where no one knows Father and the people are mean and miserable, but if you
carry it in your heart, it is there. The rogues were silent and their hearts were
glowing.
And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of Yah should
come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of Yah cometh not with
219
observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the
kingdom of Yah is in your midst. Lk.17:20
“Now when he was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of Yah comes, he
answered them and said: The kingdom of Yah does not come with observations,
neither will they say: Behold here or there [it is]. For behold the kingdom of Yah
is among you.” FaithfulL N.T.- Lk.17: 20
154
My Return to the Earth Will be Known Instantly All Over the Earth
Later that day, when Yahshuah was alone with his disciples, he said, “In the
future, you will look back with nostalgia on these days and our travels together
and long to see me again very strongly. Do not let your longing lead you astray
for many false prophets will come. They will use my name and call themselves
my disciples, but they will be deceivers.
Some will say I have returned and they will try to convince you that I am in a
cave, or in the desert, or on the coast, or up on a mountain. Do not believe them.
I will not return in secret. When I come back, the whole world will know at once. It
will be like when a bolt of lighting lights up the whole sky from one end to the
other. However, before I can return, I have to first go away and the going away
will not be pretty. In Yerushalayim, I will be rejected, and beaten, and suffer many
outrages, and humiliations, by those who claim to be the servants of Yah.
The condition of the world when I return will be just as it was in the days of
Noah. The world will be filled with violence. Sexual perversion will mark the times
just as it was in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah. It will be a non-stop sexual
orgy with people in and out of marriages living only to wine and dine, intoxicate
and fornicate and accumulate. Group sex, gang rapes, Pedophilia,
Homosexuality, incest and bestiality will be the norm..
Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread,
and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she
strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and
committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away.” (Ezek.16:4950)
Many commentators say that the Sin of Sodom and Gomorra was
homosexuality, or pride, or lack of hospitality, they were guilty of all this,
however these towns bear the marks of the Osiris/Dionysius cult. They were
destroyed because their idolatrous practices called down fire from heaven.
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their
grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter: Their wine is the poison of
dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. (Deut. 32:32-33)
220
Do you remember what happened when righteous Lot was removed from
Sodom? It rained fire, and brimstone, and not one escaped. (Not one will be
overlooked, when I return.)
On the day I return, if you are away from home, do not go back to get your
things. Do you remember what happened to Lot’s wife when she turned back?
Do not even go back for a coat. This will be a moment of separation. Two men
may be sleeping in the same house and one will be taken, and the other left
behind. Two women may be cooking in the kitchen, and one will be taken, and
the other left behind. Two farmers may be working in a field, and one will be
taken, and the other left behind.”
Gluttony, alcohol and drug abuse, mindless rampant violence, multiple
marriages it will be just like in the days before, Noah entered into the ark, and the
flood came, and destroyed them all.
“The earth also was corrupt before Yah, and the earth was filled with
violence. And Yah looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all
flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth. And Yah said unto Noah, The end
of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through
them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. (Gen.6:11-13)
“But master how will we know where to go?”
“You will know. How do birds of prey know where a dead body is? They just
know.”
155
Father is Not an Angry, Merciless Judge
Lk. 18
Father is waiting to help you. He is not a merciless judge. He is not like the
wicked judge who lived in your village who was an atheist and looked down on
everyone. Remember the widow who followed him everywhere and pestered him
for justice? He finally gave in to her demands. It was not that he feared Adonai,
or cared about justice, but she was driving him nuts. Father is not like that at all.
You do not have to pester him. He will run quickly to help you. His ears are
always open to your prayers.
The prayer of him that humbles himself, shall pierce the clouds: and till it
come nigh he will not be comforted: and he will not depart till the most High
behold. And Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth will not be slack. Ecclesiasticus
(from the Latin Vulgate) 35:21
And shall not Yah 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 this mortal cometh, shall he find faith on the earth. Luke
18:7
221
May Yah judge between me and you; and Yah must take vengeance for me
from you, but my own hand will not come to be upon you. “ 1Sa.24:12
156
Only the Humble Can Draw Near to Father
Lk. 18
Be careful how you pray. Two men went into the Temple to pray. One was a
proud Pharisee and the other was a despised citizen. He was despised because
he collected taxes for the Roman false gods.
The Pharisee prayed like this: “Oh most reverend, exalted, sovereign Adonai.
Blessed be your holy unspeakable name. Thank you that I was not born a
gentile, a slave, or a woman. Thank you that I am not like so many sinners in
Israel. I am fair and never extort money, nor commit adultery G. I especially thank
you that I do not collect taxes for the Roman gods like that Jew over there. I fast
twice a week and pay my tithes down to the smallest mustard seed.”
In contrast, the tax collector stood in a far corner, would not even lift up his
eyes, he smote his chest (a sign of a breaking heart) and prayed, “Abba please
be merciful to me a sinner.”
Which one of these men do you think pleased Father? He will exalt the
humble, and destroy the proud. Yes the tax-collector found repentance and
forgiveness and went home changed and justified.
To this one, then, I shall look, to the one afflicted and contrite in spirit and
trembling at my word. 1 Sam 16:7
157
The Rule For Divorce: Don’t Do it
Mrk. 10
Some rogues found him and began trying to trip him up with questions about
divorce. “Rabbi, what are the right rules for divorce?”
Yahshuah said, “Surely you have read how in the beginning Father made one
man and one woman and joined them in matrimony as one. That is why a man
and woman are to leave their parents when they marry and live together as one
team. You could say they are like one body.
(A man shall leave) his father and mother and cling to his wife and they will
become one flesh…He did make her father rule over her and he separated her
from her mother and towards you (will be her longing) and she will be one flesh
(with) you. From the Dead Sea Scrolls 4Q416 iv
What Father has joined as one, no humans should try to split into two.
Therefore, once you are married, you must never divorce. When your ancestors
came out of Egypt, they were so hard-hearted, that Moses allowed divorce in
some cases. However, that was not Father’s original plan. I am calling you back
to the original full Torah.
222
Therefore, whoever divorces, and marries another, enters a state of adultery.
In addition, whoever marries a divorced person enters a state of adultery. The
only people who are allowed to divorce are those who discover they married in
violation of the Leviticus 16 Zanah Code.”
The disciples said, “If that is the case, people should think long and hard
before they marry.”
“You must conquer your sexual drive if you hope to enter Father’s kingdom.
Some people are blessed to be born without a strong drive. Some are surgically
deprived of it, and some choose a life of celibacy to reach the kingdom.
Whatever your case, you must conquer your sexual drive if you hope to make it.
For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and
there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs by men: and there be eunuchs,
which have made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of the Heaven’s sake. He
that is able to receive it let him receive it.
The fragmented Torah of Moses forbade Eunuchs to be member of the
community of Israel
“no Eunuch whose testicles are cut of or crushed, or whose penis is cut off may
enter the congregation ever.” (Deut.23:1)
In the Full Torah of Yahshuah, they are not only liberated and validated, but
all, who are able, are enjoined to voluntarily live as Euncuhs.
Fall not into the grip of desire, lest, like fire, it consume your strength; Your
leaves it will eat, your fruits destroy, and you will be left a dry tree, For
contumacious desire destroys its owner and makes him the sport of his enemies.
Sirach 6: 2
Yes, blessed is she who, childless and undefiled, knew not transgression of the
marriage bed; she shall bear fruit at the visitation of souls. So also the eunuch
whose hand wrought no misdeed, who held no wicked thoughts against Yah. Hhe
shall be given fidelity's choice reward and a more gratifying heritage in Yah’s
temple… Better is childlessness with virtue. Wisdom 3:13
do not let the eunuch say,
‘I am just a dry tree.’
For thus says Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth:
To the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths,
who choose the things that please me
and hold fast my covenant,
I will give, in my house and within my walls,
a monument and a name
better than sons and daughters;
223
I will give them an everlasting name
that shall not be cut off. Is 56:3-5
Not only was the Mosaic Torah fragmentary and incomplete, there were
actually some bad laws. It is written in the scroll of the Prophet Ezekiel
“Wherefore I gave them also laws that were not good, and commands
whereby they should not live.” (Ezek.20:25)
Why would Yah do that? So that those who sought wisdom would
examine the Laws and see the defects and realize that what they had was
defective and be ready to accept the fully realized good laws brought by
the Messiah. Instead of saying “the old wine is better”, they would gladly
embrace the new wine saying,
“Dead flies make the ointment of the perfumer fetid and putrid.” “We want
the New wine.” Eccl.10:1)
What are the Dead Flies in the Torah of Moses?
Genocide:
Not to keep alive any individual, including children, of the seven Canaanite
nations (Deut. 20:16) “But of the cities of these people, which the LORD
thy God doth give you for an inheritance, thou shalt save alive nothing
that breatheth:

the Hittites, and the Amorites, the Canaanites, and
the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites; as
the LORD thy God hath commanded you.”
Extermination:





Exterminate all idolaters, (Deut.13:17) and burn
their cities (that would mean the complete
destruction of 2 billion people in India today and
the burning of every city). Never stop hating
idolaters. (Deut.13:9)
Eliminate anyone practicing witchcraft (Exod. 22:17)
Exterminate anyone practicing bestiality (Lev.
18:23)
Exterminate all homosexuals (Lev. 18:22)
Exterminate all teenagers who upon reaching their
18th birthday remain gluttons, drunkards, or
rebellious (Lev. 19:26; Deut. 21:20)
224




Exterminate all false prophets. (Deut. 18:22) (that
means anyone who disagrees with your religion
and teaches others their views)
Exterminate all adulterers (Lev.20:10) (That would
eliminate another 2 billion people)
Exterminate all Sabbath breakers (Exod.20:10)
Exterminate anyone denies the singularity of God
or misuses His name (Lev.22:32) (That would be all
2 billion Trinitarian Christians who call God Jesus
and split him into 3 persons)
Misogyny:




A menstruating woman is unclean and defiles any
thing, or person she touches. (Lev. 15:19-24)
A wife was easily divorced by a formal written
document (Deut. 24:1). A wife could not divorce a
husband.
If a woman is discovered to not be a virgin on her
wedding night, she is to be stoned to death.
Women were not allowed in the main temple.
Marriage

Marriage and procreation w ere compulsory for
everyone (Gen.1:28)
Slavery
158

Slaves were property. Father’s could sell their
daughters. Jewish slaves were to be released at
the end of 7 years, but non-Jews were for life.
You could take them captive in wars, use them
as studs, marry them, and rape them. You could
not hurt a Jewish slave, but you could beat a
Non-Jewish slave within an inch of his, or her,
life. If the slave survived one day, you were not
held accountable, but if the slave died you were
fined.

Sacrifices comprise about a third of the Torah of
Moses, but Yahshuah said Yah does not want
them.
Children are Not Born in Sin
Mt. 19
225
Some parents with toddlers in their arm were trying to reach Yahshuah, so he
could bless the toddlers. The disciples were pushing them away. “Stop,”
Yahshuah, said, “let them come to me. Children are born sinless and are already
in Father’s Kingdom.”
Yahshuah did not teach that children were born sin tainted with sinful natures.
The scriptures say:
"Yah created man in his own image." (Gen.1:27)
"Yah saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening,
and there was morning-the sixth day." (Gen.1:31)
So the flesh and the nature Yah gave Adam was "very good".
That appears to be what Yahshuah taught for he said of little toddlers:
"Then little children were brought to Yahshuah for him to place his hands on
them and pray for them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
Yahshuah said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for of
such is the kingdom of heaven. " When he had placed his hands on them, he went
on from there." (Mt.19:13-15)
The preachers will tell you that you inherited the original sin of Adam. What does
the scripture says about inheriting sins?
"The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father."(Ezek. 18:20)
"At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in
the kingdom of heaven? And Yahshuah called a little child unto him, and set him
in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and
become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."
(Mt.18:1-3)
159
Severe Warning to Pedophiles
Woe to anyone who leads a little child away from the Kingdom. In fact, no one
who does not come to Father with the innocent faith of a child will be able to
enter his Kingdom. Do not be so grown up that you cannot believe in anything.
Do not educate yourself into a state of not knowing. Do not demand so much
proof that you begin to doubt everything, including reality itself.”
Anyone who sins against a child, it would be better if he, or she, had a
millstone tied around his, or her, neck and were thrown into the sea to drown.
Mt. 18:6
Then said he to the disciples: It is unavoidable that causes for stumbling should
come. However, pity be to the one, through whom they come! Luke 17:1
226
160
What to Do to Gain Eternal Life (How to be saved)
A nobleman in the crowd asked, “Good Master, what things must I do to
inherit eternal Zoë-life?”
Yahshuah asked, “Why do you call me good (agathos)? I am not Yah. Only
Yah, the one Eloah, is good (agathos). If you wish to enter his Kingdom, obey his
commands.
Yah’s name is never to be abused and by using an appellation on
Yahshuah that belongs only to Yah, the nobleman received a stinging
rebuke from Yahshuah.
The Eternal is the judge of all things without exception; Yah alone is just.
Sirach 17: 1
The nobleman asked, “Which Commands? There are so many.”

“Do not kill anyone,

Do not engage in adultery,

do not steal, (this includes men stealing-kidnapping)

or lie,

honor your parents and

love your neighbor as yourself.”
The nobleman said, “I have obeyed all these ever since I was a child.”
“How can you say you have kept the Law and the Prophets. It is written in
the Torah of Moses, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Yet many of your
neighbors (children of Abraham) are clothed in filth and dying of hunger, but
your house is full of rich things and none of it goes out to them.” (The Gospel of
the Hebrews, Latin Versuin of Pseudo-Origen Mt.19:20)
Yahshuah felt compassion for him and said, “You have one sin that will hold
you back. Go and sell everything you own and give the money to the poor and
you will have treasure in Father’s Kingdom. Then come and find me and be my
disciple.”
When the nobleman heard this, his face fell and he went away depressed, for
he had many possessions.
The one trusting in his riches - he himself will fall; but just like foliage the
righteous ones will flourish. Pv.11:28
Then Yahshuah said to his followers, “It is extremely difficult for the rich to
find Father’s Kingdom. It is easier to pass a camel, or rope, through the eye of a
sewing needle hole (a perforation).”
227
But the disciples gave way to surprise at his words. Mark 10:24
When his followers heard this they said, “But Master everyone wants to be
rich. We were taught that holy people would be rich. And if everyone wants to be
rich, who can possibly be saved?” .
In response Yahshuah again said to them: lads, how difficult it is to enter
into the kingdom of Yah.
Only when Father points this out can you remove your desire for riches and
be saved. That is how he makes the impossible possible. That is what he sent
me to teach you. (You must hate your life in this world and all material
things.)
Yahshuah makes it clear that we do not save ourselves, our faith
doesn’t save us, or our zealous obedience, or loving hearts, the Father
saves us.
Peter asked, “What reward will we get for having renounced everything to
follow you?”
Anyone who leaves his wife, or children, father or mother, brothers or sisters,
to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom, will meet many men and women who will
become like brothers and sisters to you, and many youngsters who will become
like children to you (of course not many wives for you are to only allowed to have
one until she dies). People will open their lands and homes to you, so it will feel
like you have hundreds of acres and hundreds of homes. Nevertheless, it will not
be paradisiacal, for until the time of the restoration, on the Resurrection Day, you
will also have persecutions with them. However, on the Resurrection Day, Peter,
you Apostles will shine like Elohim (judges sitting on royal thrones), and you will
be wearing crowns - the crowns of immortality.
161
Do not Criticize Father for His Generosity
Mt. 20
(Nevertheless, do not feel jealous if you see others wearing crowns of
immortality).
A certain farmer needed help harvesting his grapes, and so he went early in
the morning to the marketplace, and hired all the day laborers he could find to
come to his vineyard. They agreed on the regular price for a day of work. At 9
a.m., he returned to the marketplace and found some more day laborers, who
were not early risers, and told them to go to his farm and he would pay them
what was fair. Because he had a bumper crop, he needed more harvesters, so
he went back at noon, and at 3 o’clock, and hired anyone who was willing to
come; saying he would pay them what was fair. Hoping to finish the harvest that
day, he came back to the market place at 5 p.m. and hired the last able-bodied
men in the village, the lazy ones.
When the men lined up for their pay, the accountant was told to pay the last
ones hired first. Everyone was surprised when they were each given a full day’s
228
wage. Those who had worked all day thought they would get a bonus, but when
they were paid, they received the same amount as everyone else.
They began to complain and the farmer asked, “In what way have I harmed
you? We agreed on a price, and I paid you what we agreed. Are you suggesting
that I am evil because I was generous to the other workers?”
They said, “We worked hard all day under the hot sun, while some of those
lazy riff raff only worked one hour, and got a full day’s pay.”
The farmer said, “Comrade, I have done you no injustice. I paid you what we
agreed on. Just because you are jealous, does not make me evil does it? It is my
money and I can spend it any way I want. Now take your wages and go.”
So do not be jealous if some of the last, and the least, of the disciples have
crowns as nice as yours. Father is generous.
Mt.20: 16: So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few
chosen
162
The Messiah Will Come Twice, and the First Time, He Will Be
Rejected
As they were making the Aliyah (pilgrimage), Yahshuah said, “Be prepared,
when we reach Yerushalayim. The prophets have made it clear that the first time
the Messiah comes, he will be rejected. So I will be arrested and turned over to
the Romans who will mock me, insult me, spit upon me, whip me, nail me to a
crossbeam and hoist me into a tree where I will die. But on the third day I will rise
from the dead.”
These words made his followers frightened and confused. At that time, they
could not understand what he was saying, and thought it was another of his
riddles.
163
Yahshuah Admits that There are Things He Doesn’t Know Since
He is Not Yah
One of his disciples, Salome, the wife of Zebedee, the mother of Yahchanan
and Yah-kov, came and bowed (prostrated) to him and said, “Master when you
establish your kingdom, please place my sons next to you; one on the right, and
one on the left.”
Yahshuah turned to Yah-kov and Yahchanan and asked, “Can you drink the
bitter cup that I must drink and go through the fiery waters that I must go
through?”
“Yes Adoni,” they replied.
You shall indeed drink from the bitter cup and go through the fiery waters, but
I have not been authorized to choose who will sit on my left or right hand; Father
will decide who gets that honor.
229
The other Apostles were very displeased with the Zebedee family. So Yahshuah
said to them, “Stop thinking like the heathen who are always jockeying for a
place of honor where they can Lord it over others. That is not the Kingdom way.
If anyone wants a position, let him, or her, be like a slave to everyone. The lower
you make yourself, the higher you will rise. Look at me, I did not come to have
people serve me, but I came to serve others, and to give my life as a ransom.
Mt.20:25:
Moses said in the Scroll of Exodus: You must not rule severely over one
another. Ex 25:46
Notice he says ransom not sacrifice. A ransom is paid to a kidnapper.
The ransom was paid to Azazel/Satan. Yahshuah’s death was not a
sacrifice. The kidnapper murdered him. Some say the ransom was to Yah,
but the Scriptures say Yah does not accept ransoms.
And now, my children, do not say: Our father is standing before Yah, and is
praying for our sins, for there is there no helper of any man who has sinned.
Slavonic Enoch (2 Enoch) 59: 1
Truly no one can redeem another person’s life from Yah or give to Yah a
ransom for him. Psalm 49:7
Moses wrote in the Scroll of Deuteronomy:
Fathers should not be put to death on account of children, and children
should not be put to death on account of fathers. Each one should be put to death
for his own sin. Deut 24:16
You cannot make a payment to Yah and expect him to receive someone
who led a sinful life. Therefore, the ransom had to be to Azazel.
The Healing of Blind Bartimaeus
Mrk. 10
(The son of Timaeus means son of the unclean, from the Chaldean word for
“unclean” indicating he was a gentile),
Matthew Mark and Luke tell the same story: near Jericho a blind man
hears a commotion. He cries out son of David help me. The crowd rebukes
him and tells him to be silent. Yahshuah says “Bring him to me”, and then
heals him. But this is where the three evangelists differ:
They passed through, and as they were leaving the city, blind Bartimaeus sat
by the way side begging. (Mark 10:46)
230
Matthew says “As they were leaving Jericho, a large crowd followed Jesus.
And, behold, two blind men sitting by the way side.” (Mt.20:29-30)
Luke says “ And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a
certain blind man sat by the way side begging: (Lk.18:35)
For those who say the scriptures are inerrant they must be blind, for
here we have three evangelists telling the same story but they don’t line up.
Either he was entering Jericho or leaving, and either there was one or two
blind men sitting by the road.
This is why I call myself a Red-letter–only-one-viner Christian. I do not
build my doctrine on the black letter narration of the Gospel writers for they
error in a dozen places. Yahshuah said “my words” will never fade away.
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.”
(Mt.24:35)
He did not guarantee that the words (logos) of the other writers were
perfect, only his own red-letter words were divine utterances, that could
not be effaced.
Here are some other errors of the narrators

The exorcism of Legion - being 2 men - Matt 8:28
The exorcism of Legion - being 1 man - Mark 5:1,2
 Then was fulfilled what had been said through Jeremiah the prophet,

Mt.28:2 says when the two women arrived, “behold, there was a great
earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came

Mark 10:32 says James and john ask to be seated at the right and left

Mat.20:20 says their mother Salome made the request.
When Bartimaeus heard that it was Yahshuah of Netzeret passing by, he
began to cry out, and say, “Yahshuah, Son of David, have mercy on me.”
The people in the crowd told him to be quiet (because he was a gentile?),
but he cried out even louder, “Son of David, have mercy on me.”
Yahshuah stopped and said, “Bring him to me.”
The bystanders said, “It is your lucky day, he is calling for you.” Bartimaeus
threw off his cloak and went to Yahshuah.
Yahshuah asked, “What would you like me to do?”
“Adoni, I want to see.”
Yahshuah said, “Go your way; your faith has made you whole.” Immediately
he received his sight, and followed Yahshuah glorifying Yah. Everyone who saw
it began praising Yah too.
165
Z’KharYah (Zacchaeus). The Tiny Tax Collector
Lk.19
There was a tiny man watching from up in a Sycamore tree. His name was
Z’kharYah. He could not get close to Yahshuah because the crowd was so thick,
and he could not see him because he was so short. Therefore, he climbed up in
the tree to get a glimpse of him. His fellow citizens despised Z’kharYah because
232
he collected taxes for the Romans, and their false gods, but because of his work,
Z’kharYah was very rich. He was the chief tax collector.
Yahshuah looked up and said to him, “Z’kharYah come down. We’d like to
rest at your house”. Z’kharYah was so happy; he hurried down and greeted
Yahshuah warmly. Some rogues who were watching tried to turn the people
against Yahshuah saying that it was a sin to go to the house of such a great
sinner, and traitor as Z’kharYah.
That night during the supper, Z’kharYah stood up and said. “Adoni you have
touched my heart. I will give half of all my possessions to the poor and I will
restore four times to everyone that I over charged.”
Yahshuah said, “Today deliverance has come to this house, for this is what
Father sent me to do, to turn back the straying and lost children of Abraham.
Traditionally translators have rendered this “Salvation has come to your
house”. In light of the words of Yahshuah that only those who endure to the
end will be saved, it seems out of place that Yahshuah would be telling
Z’kharYah that he had reached the state of Salvation. Salvation is achieve
when you reach the Father’s house. Z’karYah had been delivered of greed,
and I’m assuming he will quit his evil job. Z’kharYah had made the initial
steps; he recognized Yahshuah as the Messiah, repented of his wicked
lifestyle and began making restitution. If he went back to collecting taxes
for the Roman gods his initial deliverance would do him no good, just like
the seed that fell among the thorns, are described as those who received
the logos with joy, but the worries of this world and pleasures choked out
the seed.. Z’kharYah was now on the narrow, difficult path to the Kingdom
which he will only reach “if”:
The 14 Ifs

7. Luk 11:13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your
children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the (Pure) Spirit

never see death.
13. Joh 13:35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have
love one to another.
14. Joh 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
166
The Kingdom Will Not Fully Come for a Long Time.
Mt. 25
Yahshuah told a parable to dispel the notion that the Kingdom would come
soon. He knew as they approached Yerushalayim, some of the disciples were
expecting the Kingdom to be established immediately. He said,
There was a prince governing a province for his father. He was a good and
just prince, but his subjects were backwards, proud and rebellious. One day a
messenger came from his father’s court and told him his father had planned to
crown him and wanted him to come to the court. The royal palace was in a far
distant land, and the prince knew he would be gone many days. He called his ten
chief advisors and gave them money to administer the province while he was
gone. He told them he expected to find a prosperous province when he returned,
and gave them each ten bags of gold and departed.
After he left, some of the rebel leaders had people sign a petition; and they
sent the petition to his Father’s court. (It read: WE THE UNDERSIGNED DO
NOT WANT THE PRINCE TO RULE OVER US).
Because the court was in a distant land, it was a long time before the
prince returned. However, when he did, he was no longer a prince, but a king.
He called each of his ten advisors to give a report.
The first said, “My king, I was very successful and have ten times more
money than when you left, and everyone in my region is prospering.”
“Well done my faithful advisor,” the king said. “I will make you an Adoni over
ten cities.
234
Then the second advisor came and said, “My king, I was successful and have
five times more money than when you left, and everyone in my region is
prospering.”
“Excellent. For your reward I will make you an Adoni over five cities.”
And so it went with the next seven advisors. They had all succeeded and all
received rewards.
However, when the last advisor came in he said,
“My king, I knew that you were a strict man and so I buried the gold, so that I
would not lose it. And here it is every last coin.”
The king was angry. He said,
“If you knew I was a strict man, you must know you will be strictly punished
because I told you to make my province prosper and not to hide the gold. You
should have done something with the money, even if it was only something as
lowly as gambling on banking interests. You are fired, and I am confiscating
everything you own.”
The king then told one of his servants to take the ten bags of gold and give
them to the first advisor who had done so well. The servant said,
“But he already has more than everyone else”.
The king said. “That is the way my kingdom works. Those who work hard get
more, and those who are lazy, lose even the little that they have.”
The hand of the diligent ones is the one that will rule; but the slack hand will
come to be for forced labor. Pv.12:24
The disciples stood there with their mouths agape trying to interpret the
parable.
(Yahshuah said, It is very simple. If you work hard to spread the Gospel of the
Kingdom, you will get a bigger reward than you can imagine. If you say you will
work, but then slack off, you will lose everything, and miss the kingdom
completely).
For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but
from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. Mt.25: 29
167 The Banquet at the Ex-Leper’s House When Mary, the Sister of
Eliezar, Anoints Yahshuah’s Feet With Spikenard
Jn. 12:3
As the Feast of the Passover drew near, Yerushalayim filled up with Jews
from many countries. They were asking about Yahshuah and wondering if he
would attend the feast. The rogue high priests had ordered that whoever saw him
first was to report it immediately, so they could arrest him before he caused any
trouble.
235
Six days before the feast, he and his disciples arrived at Eliezar’s (Lazarus)
house in Beit-Anyan. That night they were invited to a banquet at Shimon’s
house (a man Yahshuah had earlier healed of leprosy).
After supper, Eliezar’s sister Mary brought an alabaster jar of Spikenard
perfume (extremely extremely expensive), and poured the perfume on
Yahshuah’s feet and wiped them with her hair. The whole house filled with the
lovely fragrance of Spikenard.
Judas Ben Shimon, the Moabite, the disciple who was planning to betray
Yahshuah, and a few others, complained saying,
“What a waste, we could have sold that perfume for a fortune, at least three
hundred denari, and given the money to the poor.” He did not intend to give the
money to the poor because he was regularly stealing money from the common
moneybag, which he carried for the group.
Question: What is the greatest sin?
Answer: Stealing for that was the sin of Judas. Stealing means you love
the things of this world so much that you will not wait for Yah to give them
to you. It is a secret, violent act of unbelief that leads to lying and the
eventual betrayal of family friends, and society.
Yahshuah said, “Leave her alone Judas. She has done a good thing. She has
anointed me for my burial. The poor will always be here. There will be plenty of
opportunities to help the poor, but I am about to depart this earth”.
As Moses wrote: For the poor will never go away out of the land; for that
reason, I command you, saying, You must open your hand wide to your brother,
to your poor and to your needy, in your land. De.15:11
When word got out that Yahshuah was in Bethany, crowds began to gather
hoping to see him, and to see Eliezar, whom he had resurrected from the dead.
Once you decide to murder one man, it is easy to decide to kill another, so
the rogue Chief Priests (Shammai and Gamaliel) also put Eliezar on their list
because too many Jews were turning to Yahshuah as the result of Eliezar’s
testimony.
168
Yahshuah Sends Two Apostles to Get a Donkey
Lk. 19
On the next day, Yahshuah decided to enter Yerushalayim, he sent two
disciples into the city to get a young unbroken donkey. He told them where to find
the donkey, and said if it would not come peacefully, to bring its mother along to
assure it. He said, when you are untying them, if anyone asks what you are
doing, just say I need them. Bring them to Beit-Pagey at the base of the Mount of
Olives, we will meet you there.”
236
Tell the daughter of Zion: Look! YOUR King is coming to you, mild
tempered, and mounted upon an donkey, yes, upon a colt the offspring of a beast
of burden. Matthew 21:5
Look! Your salvation (Yahshuah) is coming. Look! The reward he gives is
with him, and the wages that he pays are before him. Is 62:
He is humble and riding upon a donkey, even upon a full grown animal the
colt of a she-donkey. Zech 9:9
169
The Disappointing Fig Tree
Mrk. 11
When they left Beit-Anyan, Yahshuah saw a promising fig tree (symbol of
Israel) with many leaves. The harvest of figs had not begun, but was near. He
was hungry and as he approached it, he was hoping to eat some early figs.
However, when he reached it, there were no figs. He said, “no one will ever eat
from you again.” His disciples heard him say that.
Early figs in Palestine appear as early as March and are a delicacy. A fig
tree first puts forth it’s fruit and then its leaves.
I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig-tree at her first season; but so
soon as they came to Baal-peor (the central shrine of the Bull fertility cult), they
separated themselves unto the shameful thing, and became detestable like that
which they loved. (Hosea 9:10)
This story is a continuation of the Parable of the Unfruitful Fig Tree. In
the parable Yah is the owner of the orchard and Yahshuah is the gardener
who asked for one more year to prune, dig around and fertilize the tree. He
said if after one year I find no fruit, I will cut it down. Yahshuah spent one
more year walking the roads of Israel and now has found the tree is still
without fruit. The Jews had had their chance, but now the time is up, and
the axe will fall.
Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of Yah shall be taken from you, and
given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Mat 21:43
It is written: What misery is mine! I am like one who gathers summer fruit
at the gleaning of the vineyard; there is no cluster of grapes to eat, none of the
early figs that I desire. The godly have been swept from the land; not one upright
man remains. All men lie in wait to shed blood; each hunts his brother with a
net. Both hands are skilled in doing evil; the ruler demands gifts, the judge
accepts bribes, the powerful dictate what they desire— they all conspire
together. The best of them is like a brier, the most upright worse than a thorn
hedge. The day of your watchmen has come, the day Yah visits you. Now is the
time of their confusion. Do not trust a neighbor; put no confidence in a friend.
Even with her who lies in your embrace be careful of your words. For a son
dishonors his father, a daughter rises up against her mother, a daughter-in-law
237
against her mother-in-law— a man's enemies are the members of his own
household. But as for me, I watch in hope for Yah, I wait for Yah Eloah Tsebaoth
my Savior; my Eloah will hear me. (Micah 7:1-7)
Now they were advancing on the road up to Yerushalayim; and Jesus was
going in front of them, and they felt amazement; but those who followed began to
become a afraid. Once again he took the twelve aside and began to tell them the
things that were going to happen to him.
We are approaching Yerushalayim; and this mortal will be turned over to the
chief priests (Gamaliel and Shammai) and to the scribes; and they will condemn
him to death and will turn him over to [men of] the nations (Romans) and they
will make fun of him and will spit upon him and will scourge him and will kill him,
but three days later he will rise. Mark 10:32
170 Yahshuah Enters Yerushalayim Riding on a Young Donkey
Mt. 21
When the two disciples, with the two donkeys, met him at Beit-Pagey, they
put their cloaks on the donkeys and Yahshuah rode the young one, which did not
buck or jump even once, but completely submitted to him. When people saw
Yahshuah coming, they laid their cloaks on the ground in front of him and some
cut palm branches, laid them on the path, and bowed to him.
As they came over a rise, Yahshuah caught site of the city, his heart was
pierced with sorrow and he began to sob,” Now the words of the prophets are
coming upon you:
My eyes shed streams of tears because the people do not keep your torah.
From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 119:136
How the faithful city
has become a whore!
She that was full of justice,
righteousness lodged in her—
but now murderers!
Your silver has become dross,
your wine is mixed with water.
Your princes are rebels
and companions of thieves.
Everyone loves a bribe
and runs after gifts.
They do not defend the orphan,
and the widow’s cause does not come before them.
Therefore says the Sovereign, Eloah of (angel) hosts, the Mighty One of Israel:
238
Ah, I will pour out my wrath on my enemies,
and avenge myself on my foes!
I will turn my hand against you;
I will smelt away your dross as with lye
and remove all your alloy. Is 1:21-25 (NRSV)
The prophets themselves actually prophesy in falsehood; and as for the
priests, they go subduing according to their powers. And my own people have
loved it that way; and what will YOU men do in the finale of it? Je.5:31
Mortal (Ezekiel), in the midst of a rebellious house is where you are dwelling,
that have eyes to see but they actually do not see, that have ears to hear but
they actually do not hear, for they are a rebellious house. Ezk.12:2
For upon YOU men Yah has poured a spirit of deep sleep; and closes YOUR
prophets’ eyes, and he has covered even the heads of YOUR heads visionaries.
Is.29:10
O Yerushalayim, Yerushalayim, if only you had been open to receive me this
day, but you have allowed your sins to blind you, and now it is too late. Father’s
Kingdom came to you, but you shut your gates. Consequently, in one generation,
your enemies will dig a trench around you and besiege you with weapons of war.
“Titus built a wall about the city, of thirty nine furlongs long, and
thirteen forts in it which reached ten furlongs, and all done in three days
time; by which means they were pent up, starved, and famished, and
reduced to inexpressible distress.” (Gill’s Commentary)
The Romans will tear down your golden walls not leaving one stone upon
another. They will slaughter you and your children because you have rejected
your Eloah, and me, his Messiah.
O Yerushalayim, Yerushalayim, thou that kills the prophets, and stones them
which are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered thy children together,
even as a bird gathers her chicks under her wings, and ye would not! Behold,
your house is left unto you desolate. Mt.23:37
It is written in the Scroll of Hosea: As a (Roman) Eagle he comes against the
Temple, because they have transgressed my covenant and rebelled against my
message. Hosea 8:1
And I must encamp on all sides against you, and I must lay siege to you
with a palisade and raise up against you siege works. Is.29:3
For this is what Yah, the Eloah of (angel) hosts has said: Cut down wood,
and throw up against Yerushalayim a siege rampart. She is the city with which
an accounting must be held. She is nothing but oppression in the midst of her.
Jer. 6:6
and they will dash you and your children within you to the ground, and they
will not leave a stone upon a stone in you, because you did not discern the time
of your being inspected. Luke 19:44
239
Happy will he be that grabs a hold and dashes to pieces your children
against the stones. Ps.137:9
Therefore on account of YOU, Zion will be plowed up as a mere field, and
Yerushalayim herself will become heaps of ruins, and the mountain of the house
will be as the high places of a forest. Mic.3:12
Therefore Yah will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one
day. Isa 9:14
Blow ye the horn in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain; let all
the inhabitants of the land tremble; for the day of Yah comes, for it is at hand;
A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness, as
blackness spread upon the mountains; a great people and a mighty, there hath
not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, even to the years of
many generations. Joel 2:1
A fire devours before them, and behind them a flame blazes; the land is as the
garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and
nothing escapeth them. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses;
and as horsemen, so do they run. Like the noise of chariots, on the tops of the
mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble,
as a mighty people set in battle array. At their presence the peoples are in
anguish; all faces have gathered blackness. They run like mighty men, they climb
the wall like men of war; and they move on every one in his ways, and they
entangle not their paths. Neither doth one thrust another, they march everyone
in his highway; and they break through the weapons, and suffer no harm. They
leap upon the city, they run upon the wall, they climb up into the houses; they
enter in at the windows like a thief. Before them the earth quakes, the heavens
tremble; the sun and the moon are become black, and the stars withdraw their
shining. And Yah utters His voice before (this Roman) army; for His camp is
very great, for he is mighty that executes His word; for great is the day of Yah
and very terrible; and who can abide it?
Enter the caves of the rocks
and the holes of the ground,
from the terror of Yah,
and from the glory of his majesty,
when he rises to terrify the earth.
On that day people will throw away
to the moles and to the bats
their idols of silver and their idols of gold,
which they made for themselves to worship,
to enter the caverns of the rocks
and the clefts in the crags,
from the terror of Yah,
and from the glory of his majesty,
when he rises to terrify the earth. IS 2:19-21
240
For Jerusalem has stumbled
and Judah has fallen,
because their speech and their deeds are against Yah,
defying his glorious presence.
The look on their faces bears witness against them;
they proclaim their sin like Sodom,
they do not hide it.
Woe to them!
For they have brought evil on themselves. Is 3:8-9 (NRSV)
The daughters of Zion are haughty
and walk with outstretched necks, glancing wantonly with their eyes,
mincing along as they go, tinkling with their feet;
Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth will afflict with scabs the heads of the
daughters of Zion,
and Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth will lay bare their secret parts.
On that day Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth will take away the finery of the
anklets, the headbands, and the crescents;
the pendants, the bracelets, and the scarves;
the head-dresses, the armlets, the sashes, the perfume boxes, and the amulets;
the signet rings and nose-rings;
the festal robes, the mantles, the cloaks, and the handbags;
the garments of gauze, the linen garments, the turbans, and the veils.
Instead of perfume there will be a stench;
and instead of a sash, a rope;
and instead of well-arranged hair, baldness;
and instead of a rich robe, a binding of sackcloth;
instead of beauty, shame.
Your men shall fall by the sword
and your warriors in battle.
And her gates shall lament and mourn;
ravaged, she shall sit upon the ground. Is 3:16-26
Therefore all hands will be feeble,
and every human heart will fail,
and they will be dismayed.
Pangs and agony will seize them;
they will be in anguish like a woman in labour.
They will look aghast at one another;
their faces will be aflame.
See, the day of Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth comes,
241
cruel, with wrath and fierce anger,
to make the earth a desolation,
and to destroy its sinners from it.
For the stars of the heavens and their constellations
will not give their light;
the sun will be dark at its rising,
and the moon will not shed its light.
I will punish the world for its evil,
and the wicked for their iniquity;
I will put an end to the pride of the arrogant,
and lay low the insolence of tyrants.
I will make mortals more rare than fine gold,
and humans than the gold of Ophir.
Therefore I will make the heavens tremble,
and the earth will be shaken out of its place,
at the wrath of the Eloah of (angel) hosts
on the day of his fierce anger.
Like a hunted gazelle,
or like sheep with no one to gather them,
all will turn to their own people,
and all will flee to their own lands.
Whoever is found will be thrust through,
and whoever is caught will fall by the sword.
Their infants will be dashed to pieces
before their eyes;
their houses will be plundered,
and their wives ravished. Is 13:7-16
“And Yah will certainly scatter you among all the peoples from the one end of
the earth to the other end of the earth, and there you will have to serve other
gods whom you have not known, neither you nor your forefathers, wood and
stone. And among those nations you will have no ease, nor will there prove to be
any resting-place for the sole of your foot; and Jehovah will indeed give you
there a trembling heart and a failing of the eyes and despair of soul. And you
will certainly be in the greatest peril for your life and be in dread night and day,
and you will not be sure of your life. In the morning you will say, ‘If it only were
evening!’ and in the evening you will say, ‘If it only were morning!’ because of
the dread of your heart with which you will be in dread and because of the sight
of your eyes that you will see. And Yah will certainly bring you back to Egypt by
ships by the way about which I have said to you, ‘You will never see it again,’
and YOU will have to sell yourselves there to your enemies as slave men and
slave women, but there will be no buyer.” Deut 28:64-68
242
The closer they came to Yerushalayim, the bigger the crowd grew. They were
shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David. Blessed is he who comes in the name of
Yah. Shalom in heaven. Hosanna to the coming kingdom of our father David.
Baruch habah b’shem Adonai.”
Some rogues had joined the crowd and yelled, “Rabbi, rebuke your disciples,
they are disturbing the peace.” He said, “If I tell them to be quiet, the stones
themselves will cry out.”
Even the stones of the walls cry out against you, and the rafters echo the cry.
Hab.2:11
When he came into Yerushalayim, the whole city was excited and some were
asking, “Who is he?” “It is Yahshuah of Netzeret, the prophet from the Galil.”
171 Yahshuah Ends the Temple Sacrifices and Offerings the Second Time Mrk. 11
He went straight to the Temple to the courtyard of the gentiles where he had
earlier chased out the moneylenders; he again found it filled with merchants. He
shouted in a thunderous voice: “Thus says Yah, My house was to be a house of
prayer for all nations, but you have turned into a den of thieving merchants”. He
then drove out all those from that courtyard who were buying and selling bulls,
sheep, goats and doves.
Has this house upon which by my name has been called become a mere cave
of robbers in YOUR eyes? Here I myself have seen it, is the utterance of Yah.
Je.7:11
For my own house will be called a house of prayer for all the people. Is 56:7
Then he went to Solomon’s porch and began teaching. The blind and the
lame came to him and he healed them. Boys gathered and began shouting
repeatedly, “Hosanna to the Son of David.”
The Mosaic Law Experts and the high priests were disturbed and came to him
and told him to tell the boys to be quiet. He replied, “Have you never read what
David wrote? Out of the mouths of children and toddlers I have ordained strength
and praise.”
Out of the mouth of children and sucklings you have founded strength, on
account of those showing hostility to you, so as to make the enemy and the one
taking his vengeance desist. Ps.8:2
“Wisdom opened the mouths of the dumb and made the tongues of infants
articulate.” (Wisdom of Solomon 10:21 Septuagint.)
243
172 The Bankers, Merchants, Scribes and Pharisees Plot Yahshuah’s
Death
The Mosaic Law Experts and the high priests, and the merchants, and
bankers, who had been driven out of the courtyard, met and began plotting to kill
Yahshuah, but they could not agree on a plan. The main problem was that the
crowds were flocking to him, and they could not arrest him in front of the crowds,
for fear that the people might rise up against them.
That evening Yahshuah and his disciples returned to Beit-Anyan and stayed
with Eliezar.
173 The Awesome Power of Miracle Producing Faith
Mrk. 11
The next morning, after they left Beit-Anyan, they passed the fig tree
Yahshuah had spoken to, it was completely shriveled right to its roots. Peter
remembered he had cursed it and said, “Master look, the tree you cursed has
withered away.”
Yahshuah said,” If you have Faith in Father, you could say to that mountain
over there, lift out of the ground and throw yourself into the sea, and it would
obey you. If you believe that the words you speak will come to pass, if you truly
believe in your heart, they will come to pass. And when you pray, if you truly
believe in your heart that you will get what you have asked for, you shall receive
it. (If it fits with Father’s will for you). And before you pray make sure you
forgive everyone, for if you do not forgive everyone, neither will Father forgive
you, and your prayers will not be fulfilled.
Since you are not to love the world or the things of the world (including
health and safety), do not pray for or desire worldly things.
174
The Rogue Senators, High Priests and Scribes Challenge
Yahshuah Mt.21
When they entered Yerushalayim, they went to the Temple to Solomon’s
porch, and Yahshuah began teaching the Gospel of the Kingdom and
evangelizing. The rogues among the Mosaic Law Experts, the rogue Edomite
High Priests, with the rogues from among the Senators, came to him and asked,
“Who gave you permission to teach here?”
Yahshuah replied, ”Before I answer; let me ask you a question. Who gave John,
the Baptizer, permission to baptize, and teach? Did he get it from Adonai, or from
you who sit in the seats of authority?
The baptism of John, whence was it? From heaven, or of men? Mt.21:25
244
(They had come to trap him, but he had now trapped them). They formed into
a circle and began to whisper. “If we say John got his authority from Adonai, then
he will condemn us for not going out to John to be baptized. However, if we say
he got his authority from us, everyone knows that we would be lying and since
the people think John was a prophet, they would stone us. What can we say?
We’ll say we do not know.”
They turned around and said to Yahshuah, “We do not know.”
Yahshuah said, “I cannot believe it. Why even the little street urchins who do
not know who their fathers are, can answer that question. If you, who claim to be
the rulers of Israel, cannot answer so simple a question as that, then you are not
qualified to rule, and so by refusing to answer my question, you have shown that
your authority is baseless. And since you are no longer in authority, I do not have
to answer your question.
Do not answer anyone stupid according to his foolishness, that you yourself
also may not become equal with him. Pv.26:4
It is written: Therefore night will come over you, without visions, and
darkness, without divination. The sun will set for the prophets, and the day
will go dark for them. The seers will be ashamed and the diviners disgraced.
They will all cover their faces because there is no answer from Yah. As for
me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit (angel) of Yah, and with justice
and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, to Israel his sin. Hear this,
you leaders of the house of Jacob, you rulers of the house of Israel, who
despise justice and distort all that is right; who build Zion with bloodshed,
and Jerusalem with wickedness. Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests
teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money. Yet they lean upon
Yah and say, Is not Yah among us? No disaster will come upon us. Therefore
because of you, Zion will be ploughed like a field, Jerusalem will become a
heap of rubble, the temple hill a mound overgrown with thickets. Micah 3:512
It is written in the Scroll of Hosea:
Hear the word of Yah, O people of Israel! Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth has
brought charges against you, saying: “There is no faithfulness, no kindness,
no knowledge of Yah in your land. You make vows and break them; you kill
and steal and commit adultery. There is violence everywhere—one murder
after another. That is why your land is in mourning and everyone is wasting
away. Even the wild animals, the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea are
disappearing. “Don’t point your finger at someone else and try to pass the
blame! My complaint, you priests, is with you. So you will stumble in broad
daylight, and your false prophets will fall with you in the night. And I will
destroy Israel, your mother. My people are being destroyed because they
don’t know me.
Since you priests refuse to know me, I refuse to recognize you as my priests.
Since you have forgotten the laws of your Eloah, I will forget to bless your
245
children. The more priests there are, the more they sin against me. They have
exchanged the glory of Yah for the shame of false gods. “When the people
bring their sin offerings, the priests get fed. So the priests are glad when the
people sin! ‘And what the priests do, the people also do.’ So now I will
punish both priests and people for their wicked deeds. They will eat and still
be hungry. They will play the prostitute and gain nothing from it, for they
have deserted Yah to worship other gods. “Whoredom, wine, and new wine
has robbed my people of their understanding. Hosea 4:1-11 (LNT)
175
The Son Who Rebelled with His Brother, but then Changed His Mind Mt. 21
I will tell you a story.
A farmer had two sons. He went to them and said, “Go work in the vineyard.”
One boy said, “Yes Abba right away,” but he slipped off to play, and did not go to
the vineyard. The other boy stamped his foot and said, “No, I will not go. I
refuse.” (So both sons were wicked), but later the boy who stamped his foot, had
a change of heart, and went to the field and worked. So which one was the good
son?”
They said, “The one who changed his mind and worked.”
Yes. Now you self-styled religious folks are like the first boy. You tell Father
you will do his work, but you play all day in the Azazel’s garden. The corrupt tax
collectors who work for the idol-worshipping Romans and the city whores on the
other hand are like the rebellious son who stamped his foot; they make no
pretense of obeying Father. However, when the whores and tax collectors heard
John the Baptizer preaching, they had a change of heart and changed their lives,
and you saw it. Nevertheless, you still refused to go to John, even when you
could see he was Father’s prophet. Therefore, the repentant tax collectors and
whores will enter into Father’s Kingdom and you will not.”
“Whores” may be a reference to the shrine prostitutes of the Goddess.
“Sacred prostitution was part of her cult. In Canaan, the sex goddess
was styled the wife of Baal. She was honored by drunken sex orgies, the
worshipers believing that their sexual intercourse helped to bring about the
full awakening and mating of Baal (the bull) with his wife . According to the
book Recent Discoveries in Bible Lands, in no country has so relatively
great a number of figurines of the naked goddess of fertility, some
distinctly obscene, been found.
Springtime was sacred to the sex worshipers of Phoenicia. Their fertility
goddess, Astarte, or Ishtar (Aphrodite to the Greeks), had as her symbols
the egg and the hare. She had an insatiable thirst for blood and immoral
sex. Her statues variously depicted her as having rudely exaggerated sex
organs or with an egg in her hand and a rabbit ( Astarte-Esther-The Easter
Bunny) at her side.”

How shall I pardon you for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn
by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed
adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses. Jer 5:7
The only way they could be pardoned was to repent and Yahshuah says
even the harlots repented, but the rogue leaders still refused to repent.
My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go
astray,” Jer 50:6
Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against the shepherds; Eze 34:10
Howl, ye shepherds, and cry; and wallow yourselves in the ashes, ye
principal of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions
are accomplished; and ye shall break like fine pottery. And the shepherds
shall have no way to flee, “ Jer 25:34-35
Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats. Zec

176 Yahshuah Foreshadows His Murder With a Story About Some Wicked
Tenants Who Kill a Landowner’s Only Son
Mt. 21
Here is another story:
A landowner planted a nice vineyard and dug some efficient irrigation ditches. He
then built a grape press, a watchtower, and a fence. After which, he rented it out
to some sharecroppers. When the first harvest was ripe, he sent a servant to
collect his share of the harvest. The sharecroppers killed the servant and buried
his body. The landowner sent another servant to investigate and the
sharecroppers killed him too. Finally, a third servant came and they tried to stone
him, but he escaped. The next year the landowner sent other servants but they
were all mistreated, and some were killed.
Nevertheless, they were disobedient and rebelled against you and threw your
law behind their backs and killed your prophets who testified against them in
order to turn them to you and they brought about great provocation. Ne.9:26
And YAH the Eloah of their fathers kept sending against them by means of his
messengers, sending them again and again and he had compassion for his people
and for his dwelling; 2Ch.36:15
Finally, the landowner sent his son saying, “Surely they will respect my son.”
247
However, when they saw the son coming, they said, “He only has one son, if we
kill him, when the old man dies without an heir, the land will be ours.” Therefore,
they killed his son. Now when the landlord hears of this what will he do?”
The religious leaders stood silent and someone from the crowd said. “He will
come with a small army and kill those wicked sharecroppers and then rent out
the vineyard to some honest folks.”
“That is exactly right,” said Yahshuah. It
is written in the Scroll of Isaiah:
Let me sing for my beloved
my love-song concerning his vineyard:
My beloved had a vineyard
on a very fertile hill.
He dug it and cleared it of stones,
and planted it with choice vines;
he built a watch-tower in the midst of it,
and hewed out a wine vat in it;
he expected it to yield grapes,
but it yielded wild grapes.
And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem
and people of Judah,
judge between me
and my vineyard.
What more was there to do for my vineyard
that I have not done in it?
When I expected it to yield grapes,
why did it yield wild grapes?
And now I will tell you
what I will do to my vineyard.
I will remove its hedge,
and it shall be devoured;
I will break down its wall,
and it shall be trampled down.
I will make it a waste;
it shall not be pruned or hoed,
and it shall be overgrown with briers and thorns;
I will also command the clouds
that they rain no rain upon it.
For the vineyard of the Eloah of (angel) hosts Tsebaoth
is the house of Israel,
and the people of Judah
248
are his pleasant planting;
he expected justice,
but saw bloodshed;
righteousness,
but heard a cry!
Ah, you who join house to house,
who add field to field,
until there is room for no one but you,
and you are left to live alone
in the midst of the land!
Yah Tsebaoth of (angel) hosts has sworn in my hearing:
Surely many houses shall be desolate,
large and beautiful houses, without inhabitants.
For ten acres of vineyard shall yield but one bath,
and a homer of seed shall yield a mere ephah.
Ah, you who rise early in the morning
in pursuit of strong drink,
who linger in the evening
to be inflamed by wine,
whose feasts consist of lyre and harp,
tambourine and flute and wine,
but who do not regard the deeds of Yah,
or see the work of his hands!
Therefore my people go into exile without knowledge;
their nobles are dying of hunger,
and their multitude is parched with thirst.
Therefore the Land of death (Sheol) has enlarged its appetite
and opened its mouth beyond measure;
the nobility of Jerusalem and her multitude go down,
her throng and all who exult in her.
People are bowed down, everyone is brought low,
and the eyes of the haughty are humbled. Is 5:1-15 (NRSV)
177
The Israelis Are to Have the Kingdom Ripped From Them Mt. 21
Then turning to the rogue religious leaders he said,
“The landowner in my story is Adonai, the vineyard is Israel, the
sharecroppers are you rogues -Mosaic Law Experts, Edomite High Priests, and
249
Senators. The servants who were killed, when they came to get the grapes were
the prophets. I am the son who you are planning to kill. Father will send the
Romans to kill you and will take the Kingdom you rejected from this nation and
give it to faithful people from other nations.
As it is written in the Scroll of Isaiah:
I was ready to be sought out by those who did not ask, to be found by those
who did not seek me. I said, ‘Here I am, here I am’ to a nation that did not
call on my name. Is 65: 1
As Moses wrote in the Scroll of Deuteronomy wrote:
“as you have abandoned me and angered me for other gods, I will anger you
and abandon you for another people; who are ignorant and despised.
(paraphrased). Deut 32:21
One of the rogue High Priests, trembling with rage shouted, “We will never
be replaced.”
Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of Yah shall be taken from you, and given
to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Mt.21 42
“What shall I do unto you Oh Yah-kov, thou Yahudah who would not obey me?
I will turn to other nations and to them will I give my name.” 2 Esdras (4 Ezra
1:24)
Yahshuah the Stone Mt. 21
What do you think this scripture means? “The stone which was rejected by
the builders later resurfaced and became the capstone of the arch..”
I am the stone, which you builders will reject, and I will later become the
capstone of the arch- the most important stone of all. Many will smash
themselves to pieces when they stumble over me in the dark, and I will be the
stone that falls from on high and flattens many others grinding them to dust and,
they will blow away with the wind.
Therefore this is what Yah Almighty has said: Here I am, laying as a
foundation in Zion a stone, a tried stone, the precious corner of a sure
foundation. No one believing in me will get panicky. Is.28:16
You will break them with an iron scepter, as though a potter's vessel. you
will dash them to pieces. Ps.2:9
And he (Yahshuah the Messiah) must become as a sacred place; but as a stone
to strike against and for a rock over which to stumble to both the houses of
Israel, as a trap and as a snare to the inhabitants of Yerushalayim. Is.8:14
And as for the stone that struck the image, it became a large, great mountain
and filled the whole earth Dan.2:35
And in the days of those kings the One true Eloah of heaven will set up a
kingdom, which will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not
be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these
kingdoms, and it will stand to times everlasting. Dan.2:44
250
178 The Man Who Invited His Friends to a Wedding (Similar to the story of
the Banquet, but different)
Mt. 21
Here is another story:
a powerful king invited many important people to his son’s wedding feast.
(Adonai is the king, I am the son and you religious folks are the important
people). The king sent his servants (the prophets) to call the important people to
the feast saying everything is ready, the food is cooking, come right now.
However, the important people were annoyed and refused to leave their rich
farms, city mansions, and luxurious merchandise for even a half day to come to
the wedding. They were so annoyed, that they beat the servants and killed them.
When the king heard what happened, he was furious and sent his armies. The
armies killed the important people, burned their farms and cities and looted their
luxurious merchandise. He then sent other servants out into the farthest
highways and byways to invite foreigners (goyim) to come to the wedding, for he
was determined to have a wedding feast for his son. Soon the palace was filled
There was great rejoicing. At the height of the feast, the King saw a man in the
room without a proper wedding gown on and he asked him, “How did you get in
here without a wedding gown?” The man was speechless. The king called the
guards and he said, “Arrest him, tie him up, bind him hand and foot, and cast him
into outer darkness where there he will be weeping, snarling, biting and gnashing
his teeth.
The rogues were beside themselves with anger and would have rushed upon
Yahshuah, but they were afraid of the crowd for many in the crowd thought
Yahshuah was a prophet. They turned and went to a private room where they sat
trying to figure some way to trap him. They decided to ask the Herodians to help
them.
179 Some Herodians Try to Entrap Yahshuah in His Words Mt. 22
Some Herodians went to Yahshuah in the Temple and said, “Rabbi, you are
very honest and fearless and are not a people-pleaser, you always speak the
truth clearly. So tell us, does the Mosaic Law allow us to pay tribute to Tiberius
Caesar?
(Editor’s note: Tiberius Caesar Augustus, born Tiberius Claudius Nero
in 42 BC died 37 AD was the principal Caesar during the life of Yahshuah
Immanuel. (His mother divorced his father and was remarried to Octavian.
Tiberius would later marry Augustus' daughter Julia the Elder (from an
earlier marriage) and even later be adopted by Augustus. Pliny the Elder
called him tristissimus hominum, "the gloomiest of men”. Suetonius goes
into depth regarding the madness of Tiberius. Tiberius would not only have
homosexual sex (which was not unusual in the ancient world), but he
would also have sex with boys. He was a pedophile. Peophilia was
251
considered, even by Roman standards, to be extreme. Although Suetonius
doesn't suggest it, other historians have suggested that Tiberius may have
had sex with his successor Caligula when he was very young. Tiberius was
very cruel to his subjects. He would arbitrarily have people executed.
Offenses as innocent as speaking ill of Augustus were punishable by
death. He would crush the heads of children with his bare hands.
Suetonius describes Tiberius once forcing a subject to drink large
quantities of wine. He then had the subject's genitals tied so tightly that he
could not urinate. (Retrived from the Internet Nov. 2007 from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Caesars )
Yahshuah saw through the trap. Caesar was venerated as a God. If
Yahshuah said, “pay the taxes”, he would be encouraging idolatry, if he said, “do
not pay the taxes”, he would be reported to the Romans as a rebel. Yahshuah
said,” you hypocrites why do you test me? Show me a Roman coin”. The
Herodian handed him a denarius (righteous Jews would not carry Roman coins
because Caesar’s image was on the coins and that made them idols (to make
an image of a man was forbidden by the Ten Commandments). Yahshuah held it
up for all to see and asked, “Whose idolatrous image is on this coin?” They said
“Tiberius Caesar’s”. (He threw the coin at the feet of the Herodians and) said,
“Give everything that belongs to Tiberius Caesar back to Tiberius Caesar, and
give everything that belongs to Yah back to Yah.
If one hundred percent of your life belongs to Yah, then there is nothing
left over for Caesars is there?
Beginning with Julius, the Caesars were worshipped by the Romans as
gods. Julius was called “the invincible God”. Augustus was officially name
God by the senate and on the coin it said “Tiberius the son of the divine
Augustus; making Tiberius “the son of God”.
http://www.beliefnet.com/story/20/story_2000_1.html
The Latin inscription reads (clockwise from left of emperor's ear): Augustus Ti(berius) Caesar
Divi Aug(usti) F(ilius) ["Augustus Tiberius, august son of the august God"]
The Caesars’ were the anti-gods and Tiberius the anti-son of God. Just
as every earthly kingdom is anti-the kingdom of Yah. Yah’s Kingdom
children owe no allegiance or anything to the anti-kingdoms of this world.
The anti-kingdoms of this world are ruled by Azazel. You cannot serve two
masters. You must decide, will you follow Yahshuah the son of the august
Yah, or earthly rulers the sons of the august Caesars?
“The kings of the earth rise up, and the rulers take counsel together, against
Yah, and against His anointed.” (Psalm 2:2)
Yahshuah would never tell a Jew to give anything, or any service, to a
false god. The nations of this world today are just as surely false gods
demanding that their citizens serve them, and sacrifice their lives for them.
252
The Mithraic Christians use this story about Caesar to justify Christian
participation in national wars, but Yahshuah is saying just the opposite.
The Caesars have no authority over you, unless you grant it by serving
them.
The Herodians were dumbfounded, they went back, and reported what
Yahshuah had said, and so they strategized another trap.

Some Rogue Sadducees Try to Trap Yahshuah
Lk. 20
This time the plotters sent some rogues from the Sadducee’s party.
The Sadducees scoffed at the idea of life after death. They were the
Edomite aristocrats who had usurped control of the Temple. The Temple
was their idol (their golden cash cow), and was making them a fortune. The
Sadducees rejected the writings of the prophets and showed no mercy,
even in little things, and loved to execute people. They claimed to only
follow the Five Scrolls of Moses.
The high priests sent these Sadducees to Yahshuah at Solomon’s porch and
they said, “According to Moses if a man marries and dies childless, his brother is
required to marry his wife and produce a child to carry on his brother’s name.
There was a certain man who died childless who had seven brothers, so his
second brother married his wife, but he died childless too. So the third brother
married her, but he died childless too and so did the fourth, fifth, six and finally
the seventh brother married her. They both died. Now you teach that there is an
afterlife so tell us, in the afterlife, which one of the brothers will be her husband?
Or will she perhaps have seven husbands in the afterlife?
Yahshuah answered, “You Sadducees say you follow only the writings of
Moses, but you do not know his writings and that is why you are in error about
the afterlife.
No, but the very errors of you people have become the things causing division
between You and your Eloah, and your own sins have caused the concealing of
his face from you, to keep from hearing. Is.59:2
Now we all know that marriage in this life is a major event. Here in Israel it is
practically an obsession, all we talk about who is married to whom and who
begot so and so. Nevertheless, in the world to come, when Father’s kingdom fully
arrives, marriage will not be heard of, for those who are resurrected to the new
Zoë- life will be like the angels who are sexless and who do not marry
Those who gain the Zoë-life will be immortals and will have no need to
procreate.
Faithful N.T.- For neither are they still able to die, for they are like angels,
and they are sons of Eloah being sons (children) of the resurrection,” (Lk 21:36)
253
All the righteous shall become like angels in heaven. Enoch 50:4
Men however die and perish. Therefore have I given to them wives, that they
might cohabit with them; that children might be born of them; and that this
might be transacted upon earth. But you (Angels) from the beginning were made
spiritual, possessing a life which is eternal, and not subject to death for ever.
Therefore I made not wives for you, because, being spiritual, your dwelling is in
heaven. Enoch 15: 4
Your Sadducee Edomite ancestors have inherited lies and passed them on to
you. They tell you when you die it is all over. You will not pay for your sins.
Nothing to worry about. Enjoy your life here and now, it is all you get, so get all
you can, seize the day. They claim Moses never hints of an afterlife. However,
look again. When Moses spoke to the angel in the burning bush, he learned that
Father is the Eloah of the living not the dead. He calls himself the Eloah of
Abraham Yitzhak and Yah-kov. Therefore, they will live again. They will be
resurrected in the next life, which your teachers tell you will not exist.
But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which the
angel speaking to Moses from the Thorn bush said: I am the Eloah of Abraham,
and the Eloah of Yitzak , and the Eloah of Yah-kov? Yah is not the Eloah of the
dead, but of the living. Mt.22:31
Furthermore, Men perish because they do not like starving men, seek after
the truth. If you had hungered for the truth you would have longed to read the
prophets who said:
Your dead ones will live. A corpse of mine - they will rise up. Awake and cry
out joyfully, YOU residents in the dust! For your dew is as the dew of herbs, and
the earth itself will let even those impotent in dead drop [in birth].
Is.26:19
And there will be many of those asleep in the ground of dust and will wake
up, these to everlasting life and those to reproaches [and] everlasting abhorrence.
Dan.12:2
And though after my skin, worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I
see God. Job 19:26
Ezekiel wrote in his scroll:
The hand (angel) of Yah was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of Yah,
and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones,
And caused me to pass by them round about: and, behold, there were very many
in the open valley; and, lo, they were very dry. And he said unto me, Mortal, can
these bones live? And I answered, O Yah Eloah, thou knowest. Again he said
unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear
the word of Yah. Thus saith Yah Eloah unto these bones; Behold, I will cause
breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon you, and
will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you,
and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am Yah. So I prophesied as I was
254
commanded: and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold a shaking, and
the bones came together, bone to his bone. And when I beheld, lo, the sinews and
the flesh came up upon them, and the skin covered them above: but there was no
breath in them. Then said he unto me, Prophesy unto the wind, prophesy, mortal,
and say to the wind, Thus saith Yah Elaoh; Come from the four winds, O breath,
and breathe upon these slain, that they may live. So I prophesied as he
commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up
upon their feet, an exceeding great host. Eze 37:1
And you shall know that I am the (living) Eloah, when I open your graves,
and bring you up from your graves, O my people. I will put my spirit within you,
and you shall live. Ezek 37: 13
I will sprinkle clean water (words of wisdom) upon you, and you shall be
clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you. A
new heart I will give you, and a new spirit I will put within you; and I will
remove from your body the heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. I will put
my (Pure) spirit within you, and make you follow my statutes and be careful to
observe my ordinances. Ezek 36: 25
It is written ion the Scroll of Hosea:
“I will ransom them from the power of the Land of Death. I will redeem
them from death. O Death what’s become of your plagues? O Land of death
where is your destroying power now? Hosea 13: 14
On hearing that, the crowds were astonished at his teaching Matthew 22:33
After the rogues among the Pharisees heard that he had put the rogues among
the Sadducees to silence, the old enemies united and became allies in their plot
to kill him. Matthew 22:34
181
The Ah Ha Moment
Mrk. 12
One of the Mosaic Law Experts was suddenly converted and said, “Ah ha!
Rabbi, you have spoken well, and I can see it now. Please tell me what is the
great commandment?
Yahshuah answered,” Hear O Israel hear, there is one and only one Eloah,
Yah is our Eloah. You shall love Yah our Eloah will all your heart, all your mind,
all your strength and with your whole life. This is the great commandment, and
the second is, you shall love your neighbor like yourself. If you keep these two,
you will fulfill all the Law and the prophets.
Moses said:
And you must love Yah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and
with all your vital force. De.6:5
255
And Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy
people, but thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Leviticus 19:18
Faithful N.T.- Be hearing, Israel, [the] Lord your God is one Lord, and you
will agape-love your God from all your heart, and all your psyche-life , and all
your mind, and all your strength.
Mark 12: 12:32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the
truth: for there is one Eloah; and there is none other but he.
You shall love Yah with all your heart (emotions) and all your soul (mind)
and he will deliver you from all evil. No terror will come upon you. He will fill
your days with good and you will walk in peace and inherit glory. And you will
end up in the eternal resting place. And all who know you will walk together
following your teachings. From the Dead Sea Scrolls version of 4Q525 fragment
14: 2
The converted Mosaic Law Expert said, “thank you master I can now see that
if we keep these two commandments about love, they supplant all burnt offerings
and sacrifices.”
Yahshuah seeing that he had answered wisely said, “You are not far from
Father’s Kingdom”.
The rogue Edomite Sadducees returned to the high priests, and they could
think of no more traps.
As it is written in the Scroll of Isaiah:
Israel’s sentinels are blind,
they are all without knowledge;
they are all silent dogs
that cannot bark;
dreaming, lying down,
loving to slumber.
The dogs have a mighty appetite;
they never have enough.
The shepherds also have no understanding;
they have all turned to their own way,
to their own gain, one and all.
‘Come,’ they say, ‘let us get wine;
let us fill ourselves with strong drink.
And tomorrow will be like today,
great beyond measure.’ Is 56:10-12
182 The Messiah, Cuts His Ties with David’s Bloodline Mt. 22
256
Yahshuah continued teaching by asking, “Whose son is the Messiah?”
They answered, “He is David’s son,”
“Are you sure? Your teachers say a son must honor his father for the father is
always greater than his son is. However,
In Psalm 110 David wrote: Adonai said to my Adoni come and sit at my
right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.
If David calls the Messiah “my Adoni”, (my Master) how can he be his son?
(Editor’s Note: Yahshuah confounded the wise)
“And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men.” ( Jer 51:57)
The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken: lo, they have
rejected the word of Yah; and what wisdom is in them? (Jer 8:9)
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people,
even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall
perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid. (Isa 29:14)
The Wise men of that day taught the people that Psalm 110 was proof
that the Messiah would be a descendant of David. Yahshuah turns their
false teaching on its head. Yahshuah refused to identify himself with David
(a murderer and adulterer) or with Abraham (a liar who disobeyed Yah and
twice gave away his sister/ wife to save himself from harm and cast away
his first born son (Ishmael) and Ishmael’s mother, Hagar). Yahshuah calls
him
“Your father Abraham.” Jn 8:56
Yahshuah thus refuted his entire genealogy one filled with liars, thieves
(Yahkov), murderers, wicked kings, incest (Tamar), a sacred prostitute of
the Jericho moon cult (Rahab), and a Moabitess, Ruth and an Ammonitess,
Naamah (Solomon’s wife), and a Hittite, Bathsheba (Solomon’s mother).
Bathsheba was originally married to Uriah the Hittite so she too would have
been a Hittite as the Torah forbade Hebrew women to marry non-Jews.
(Deut.23:3 says no descendant of Moab, or Ammon, shall ever be
allowed into the community of Israel. Deut.20:16 says no Hittite shall be left
alive. This is a commandment of the Lord).
But thou shalt utterly destroy them; namely, the Hittites. (Deut.20:17)
When the LORD thy God shall bring you into the land whither thou goest to
possess it, and hath cast out many nations before you, the Hittites, and the
Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and
the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
257
And when the LORD thy God shall deliver them before you; thou shalt smite
them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor
shew mercy unto them:
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not
give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son. (Deut. 7:1-3)
David’s grandmother was a Moabitess and his wife Bathsheba a Hittite,
and his sons Nathan, and Solomon, were Jew/Moabite/ mostly Hittites. That
would make Solom’s son Rehoboam a half Ammonite/Hittite/Moabite/ 1/8 th
Jew. How could the messiah spring from that?
So Yahshuah denies that the Messiah must come from the House of
David, line of Solomon or Nathan. The Messiah cannot come from such a
line. Despite what the Book of the Revelation says, he is not the Lion of
Judah. He is the faithful shepherd.
The House of Virtue
Philo says of Noah:
“And the lawgiver (Moses) magnifies (Noah) the lover of virtue in such a
way, that even when he is given his genealogy, he does not trace himself
as he usually does other persons, by giving a catalogue of his grandfathers
and great grandfathers, and ancestors who are numbered as men and
women, but he gives a list of certain virtues; and almost asserts in express
words that there is no other house, or kindred, or country whatever to a
wise man, except the virtues and the actions in accordance with virtues”.
http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/yonge/book22.html
The Messiah comes from the House of Virtue built with the seven
columns of Wisdom, not the House of Abraham, Yitzak, Yahkov and David,
and Solomon.
“With Wisdom a house Is built.” (Prov.24:3)
The Seven Columns (Angels) that hold up the House of Virtue Built by
Wisdom
1. The Angel of Chokmah
(Wisdom)
2. The Angel of Biynah
(Understanding)
3. The Angel of Etsah
(Counsel)
4. The Angel of G’burah
(Valor)
5. The Angel of Dah-ath
(Knowledge)
6. The Angel of Hesed
(Piety)
7. The Angel of Yirah
(Fear of Yah)
(Isaiah 11:2-3 Apostolic Bible Septuagintgint.)
258
By denying he was a son of David, Yahshuah states his superiority over
both David, and Solomon, or Nathan, and denies receiving anything from
them.
I can’t help it if the Apostles, and whoever wrote those two embarrassing
genealogies thought he was from David, he himself denied it.
Nor did Yahshuah ever claim to be the King of the Jews. He said,
“My kingdom is not of this world” (John 18:36)
So if the Adoni, David speaks of, is not his descendant, who is it?
The Angel of Yah. The messenger who spoke through all the prophets,
the Angel of his presence that David begged Yah not to take from him.
Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Psa 51:11
It looks like Yah did take the Angel of his Presence (that holy ruach)
from David for his last days were fallen and on his death bed, David called
for vengeance killings.)
“Wisdom will not enter a soul that plots evil, or reside in a body involved in
sin.” (Wisdom of Solomon 1:4)
“If he fails me I will deliver him over to robbers.” (Sirach 4:19)
So what is Yahshuah saying here? The Messiah does not stake his
claim on this evil bloodline and Psalm 110 proves it; the very opposite of
what the foolish “wise men” in Jerusalem taught.
Yahshuah stakes his claim on being the only human who was taken to
heaven and seen the Father and who was sent back to be the tabernacle
that the Angel of his Presence would indwell and remain in throughout his
earth life.
With him dwells the spirit of intellectual wisdom, the spirit of instruction
and of power… he shall judge secret things. Nor shall any be able to utter a
single word before him. Enoch 48 A:3
Yahshuah made no pretense to the throne of Israel which had been
cursed from the days of Jeconiah. The Jews expected the Messiah to sit
on the throne of David which Yahshuah here rejects. Yahshuah said his
kingdom is not of this world and the only throne he ever had was the
execution stake to show he renounced all worldly kingdoms. His mission
was to reign in men’s hearts not the tiny country of Israel. His message
was: You must renounce the world and all worldly thrones and come home
to the Father. (End of Editor’s note)
259
The people in the crowd were speechless and couldn’t think of any more to
say.
183
Do Not Obey the Pharisees and Scribes they are Robbers and
Stole the Seat of Moses
Mt. 23
Do not let the rogues among the Priests, Pharisees and Mosaic Law Experts
deceive you. They have usurped the Seat of Moses (meant only for the
Messiah).
"The scribes and the Pharisees have seated themselves in the chair of Moses.”
(Matthew 23:1 NASB77) (Persic version adds priests)
They tell you what laws to obey, but they themselves (do not) obey them.
(“Do not”) follow their commands or teachings.
Most Greek texts say “do what they say.” Why would Yahshuah tell us
to follow the orders of these men when he calls them thieves, liars, sons of
Azazel and murderers? He would not. He himself lists six errors in the
teaching of Moses, that’s without all the false additions about sacarifices.
“The contradiction is easily solved, however, by looking at the same
verse from Shem Tov's Hebrew Matthew, in which Yeshua says "The
Pharisees have seated themselves in the seat of Moses. Therefore, do
everything that HE (Moses) tells you, but do NOT do according to their
takanot (reforms) and ma'asim (precedents)." It is likely that Shem Tov's
manuscript in this case preserved the original reading, since it is in
harmony with everything else that Yeshua said about the Pharisees, and
also since the difference in Hebrew between "he says" and "they say" is
only one letter, and therefore it could have easily been mistranslated into
Greek.” http://www.escapeallthesethings.com/biblical-calendar-aviv-barley.htm
Yahshuah said,
He said, “beware of the teachings of the Scribes and Pharisees.” (Mt. 16)
The Scribes and Pharisees have “shut off the kingdom of heaven.”
(Mt. 23) and their followers become twice the sons of hell.
They twist the scriptures to their own ends. They love to wear special clothes
to set themselves above others. They love the best seats in the synagogues and
at parties. They love to be greeted in the market place as “Father.” You only have
one father, Yah, our Eloah. So do not call anyone father, but Yah. And you only
have one Teacher, me the Messiah, so do not call anyone teacher (Rabbi,
Master, Adoni, Lord, Reverend, Doctor, king, your majesty etc) but me. You are
all brothers. Whoever would be great among you let him act as the slave of all.
Whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
184
The Rogues Have Hidden the Key of Knowledge
Mt.23
260
Woe to you rogues among the Pharisees, Sadducees, Herodians, Essenes,
and Mosaic Law Experts you have taken away the Key of Knowledge . You
have locked the door to Father’s kingdom and refuse to go in yourselves. You
scour land, and sea, to make one convert and when you have him, you
brainwash him until he becomes a two-fold son of Azazel. Luke 11:52
For a fee, you will twist the law to let anyone out of any vow. You say if one
swore on the altar, it does not count, unless he, or she, swore on the Temple,
and if one swore on the Temple, you say that does not count unless he or she
swore on the gold of the Temple. (You have grown grow rich by twisting
scriptures and collecting bribes).
You are scrupulous about the light things of the Law like paying a tithe on
every mint, anise and cumin, but then you ignore the massive things of the law
like fair play, mercy and faithfulness
He has told you: O man and woman, what is good. And what is YAH is
asking back of you. He wants you to exercise justice and to love kindness and to
be modest in walking humbly with your God? Mic.6:8
Woe to you blind guides who strain out a gnat, but swallow a camel. Woe to
you who clean the exterior of the cups and pots, but leave filth on the insides.
Mt.23 25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean
the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of (plunder),
extortion and excess.
Woe to you hypocrites (play actors) who on the outside present themselves
as righteous men, but on the inside, you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity,
wickedness and plunder. You are like tombs that are painted white and look
clean on the outside, but on the inside are full of decaying corpses, and sucking
maggots.
We can count on you for lofty, flowery, long prayers, but while you are praying
the long prayers, you are scheming some plot to exploit the poor, or steal some
grieving widow’s property. The heaviest punishment is awaiting you religious
hypocrites.
Ah, you who make iniquitous decrees,
who write oppressive statutes,
to turn aside the needy from justice
and to rob the poor of my people of their right,
that widows may be your spoil,
and that you may make the orphans your prey!
What will you do on the day of punishment,
in the calamity that will come from far away?
To whom will you flee for help,
and where will you leave your wealth,
261
so as not to crouch among the prisoners
or fall among the slain? Is 10:1 -4
185
The Poor Widow Who Gave All the Money She Had
Lk. 21
From where Yahshuah was teaching, he could see people placing money in
the offering chest. He saw a widow drop in two small coins. He pointed and the
whole crowd turned to look at her. “This woman,” he said, “has given more than
anyone.”
“How can this be?” someone asked. “She is a widow and looks so poor.
Surely those rich men standing there have put in more than she.” Yahshuah
replied, “Those rich men put in large amounts, but they have so much that to
them it was just pocket change.
Meanwhile, I saw wicked men approach and enter; and as they left the sacred
place, they were praised in the city for what they had done. Ecclesiastes 10: 1
There are just men treated as though they had done evil and wicked men treated
as though they had done justly. Ecclesiastes 10:13
But that daughter of Abraham put in two coins, but it was everything she had.
She gave one hundred percent.”
You must give your two coins to father, also -your body and your mind
–one hundred percent.
186
Yahshuah Foretells the Destruction of Yerushalayim
Mrk. 13
That afternoon, they left the city and ascended the hill called the Mount of
Olives. From up on the mount, they could see the city and the Temple. One of
the disciples said. “How beautiful the Temple is from here.”
Yahshuah said, “The Romans will burn the city to the ground and tear down
the Temple. Not one stone will be left standing on a stone.”
For it is written: I will also cut Israel off from upon the surface of the ground
that I have given them; and the house that I have sanctified to my name I will
throw away from before me, and Israel will indeed become a proverbial saying
and a taunt among all the peoples. Ecclesiastes 10:13
And this house itself, will become heaps of ruins. Everyone passing by it will
stare in amazement and will certainly whistle and say: For what reason did Yah
do like that to this land and this house? 1Ki.9:8
“Master,” they cried, “when will this catastrophe take place? And will there be
a sign to foreshadow it?”
262
187
The Signs for the Destruction of Yerushalayim
Mt. 24
“Yes there will be signs. However, be on your guard. Many false prophets
claiming to be my disciples will come to lead people astray saying I am the “I am”
(ego emi). They will point to wars, intifadas between ethnic groups, earthquakes,
epidemic, famines, (planetary alignments, comets); those are all false signs.
Don’t follow anyone who says “the end is near.” (Lk 21:18)
Be ready for hard times. Some of you will be arrested and brought before
chief priests (Gamaliel and Shammai) , and kings. Do not fear or plan what you
will say. Father will give you the right words. Some of your own friends, and
family, will betray you, but do not hold it against them. Some of you will be
executed, but rejoice to know that you are going the way of the prophets. Do not
be surprised by the hatred that will be heaped upon you for following me. Every
detail of your life is known; even the very hairs on your head are numbered.
Father cares for you, so endure in patience.
Here are the signs: (it happened in 70AD when the Roman General Titus
attacked. They burned the temple to the ground. The gold melted and ran
down through the crevices of the bricks so the Roman soldiers tore it down
stone by stone to get the gold and the silver out. That fulfilled the words of
Jesus when He said there wouldn't be a stone of the Temple left standing
one on top of the other. Then to really defile it, Titus, the Roman prince
went to the high altar of the Temple, planted the standards of the Roman
legions by it and then proceeded to sacrifice a pig on the alter in the Holy
of Holies. The Bull Cult destroyed its rebellious Judean branch, but the
Yah cult (the “Little Flock” -True Christians) escaped.
http://www.potts.net.au/Stand/Daniel/Chapter11.htm)
In 115 AD a Jew named Lukuas “the king” led a revolt in Cyrene. Gibbon,
quoting Dion Cassius, states: “In Cyrene massacred 220,000 Greeks; in Cyprus,
240,000; in Egypt a very great multitude”. On his way to Jerusalem Lukuas burned
Alexandria. The Roman general Lucius Quietus marched to central Israel and
massacred everyone in the city of Lydda. This brought some calm until 130 AD
when the Roman Emperor Hadrian came to Jerusalem and proposed rebuilding
Jerusalem as a Roman city with a temple to Jupiter where the Jewish Temple once
stood. He further infuriated the Jews by banning circumcision. The leading Jewish
sage, Rabbi Akiva, declared Simon Bar Kokhba (son of a star) the Messiah and
chose him to lead a revolt. They enjoyed two and a half years of freedom, but then
General Sextus Julius Severus came and razed over a thousand towns and villages
killing 580,000 Jews. A statue of Jupiter was erected on the temple mount and the
Torah was burned in front of it. All Jews were forbidden to live in Jerusalem. That
was 135 AD one hundred years after Yahshuah prophesied the destruction of the
temple and the nation. Now nearly 2,000 years later, they have no temple and no
altar of sacrifices, the very things Yahshuah fought against.
263
Yahshuah said:
When you see Yerushalayim surrounded by armies and the abomination of
desolation, spoken of by Daniel, the prophet, (a pig being sacrificed in the
Temple), if you are on your rooftop patio, do not go down to get anything out of
your house: neither let those who are in the field return back to get their clothes,
but flee.
Do you remember what happened to Lot’s wife?
And it came about that, as soon as they had brought them out to the
outskirts, he began to say: Escape for your life! Do not look behind you and do
not stand still in all the District! Escape to the mountainous region, for fear you
may be swept away. Ge.19:17 Lot’s wife cast a look back and was turned into a
pillar of salt.
Because these are the days for meting out justice, that all the things written may
be fulfilled. Luke 21:22
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. De.32:35
for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will pay back vengeance to his
adversaries. De.32:43
Should I not hold an accounting because of these very things, is the utterance of
Yah on a nation that is like this should not my soul avenge itself? Je.5:29
The days of being given attention must come; the days of due payment must
come. Those of Israel will know [it]. The prophet will be foolish, the man of
spiritual expression will be maddened on account of the abundance of your error,
even the animosity being abundant Ho.9:7
Hide in the mountains; do not go near the cities. For those will be the days of
vengeance foretold by the prophets. It will be especially difficult for pregnant or
nursing women. I hope that it will not come in the winter, and do not travel on a
Sabbath (for the Jews stone Sabbath breakers). It will be a time of terror and
great tribulation, (as people are slaughtered, and sold to slave-traders from
many different nations).
And during that time Michael, the great archangel will stand up, who is
standing on behalf of the sons of your people. And there will certainly occur a
time of distress, such as has not been made to occur since there came to be
a nation until that time. And during that time the (faithful) people will escape,
everyone who is be found written down in the Scroll. Dan.12:1
For the sake of the faithful little flock, the siege will be short and the days will
be few, although brutal beyond all sense. Yerushalayim will never again suffer
such a devastation.
(The golden city will be cast down and wicked foreign soldiers will
dance upon her ruins. Yerushalayim will be under the boot of wicked
soldiers until the day I return).
264
And Yah will certainly scatter you among all peoples from one end of the
earth even to the other end of the earth, and there you will have to serve other
gods whom you have not known, neither you nor your forefathers. De.28:64
O Yah, the nations have come into your inheritance; they have defiled your holy
temple; they have laid Yerushalayim in a heap of ruins. Ps.79:1 A Psalm of
Asaph
Yea, while I was speaking in prayer, even the (Angel- man) Gabriel, whom I
had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me
about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me,
and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give you skill and understanding. At
the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come
to show you; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and
consider the vision. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy
holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make
reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal
up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most purified (Messiah). Know
therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to
restore and to build Yerushalayim unto the Messiah, the Prince (Yahshuah the
Netzerim) shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall
be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and
two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: (33 AD) Dan 9:21
and the people (the Romans) of the prince that shall come (Satan-Azazel)
shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be ( like) a
flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
(Editor’s note: Yahshuah in Jn.14:30 identified “the Coming Prince” of
Daniel as Satan:
"I will no longer speak many things with you, for the prince of this world is
coming. (Prince of this world is translated as Kosmokrator ruler of the Kosmos).
Jn 14:3
2Co 4:4 ...the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe
not. (end of Editor’s note).

When Will Yahshuah Return and When Will the Aeon End?
Then the disciples asked him, “Will there be signs to herald your return and
the end of the age?
265
This Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness
unto all nations; and then shall the (actual) end come. Mt.24:14
And it must occur in that day [that] I shall make Yerushalayim a burdensome
stone to all the peoples. All those lifting it will without fail get several
scratches for themselves; and against her all the nations of the earth will
certainly be gathered. Zec.12:3
It is written: Hear, a noise! Listen, it is coming— a great commotion from
the land of the north to make the cities of Judah a desolation, a lair of jackals.
Jerm 10:22
It is written: for they be all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men.
And they bend their tongues like their bow for lies: but they are not valiant for
the truth upon the earth; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they know not
me, Yah. Take ye heed every one of his neighbor, and trust ye not in any brother:
for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbor will walk with
slanders. And they will deceive everyone his neighbor, and will not speak the
truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to
commit iniquity. Thine habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they
refuse to know me, saith Yah …I will make Yerushalayim a heap a ruin a
dwelling place for jackals And I will make the towns of Judah a desolation
without inhabitants. Jerm 9:2-11
It is written: Why has this people slidden back,
Yerushalayim, in a perpetual backsliding?
They hold fast to deceit,
They refuse to return.
I listened and heard,
But they do not speak aright.
No man repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turned to his own course,
As the horse rushes into the battle.
“ Even the stork in the heavens
Knows her appointed times;
And the turtledove, the swift, and the swallow
Observe the time of their coming.
But My people do not know the judgment of Yah.
“ How can you say, ‘We are wise,
And the law of Yah is with us’?
Look, the false pen of the scribe certainly works falsehood.
The wise men are ashamed,
266
They are dismayed and taken.
Behold, they have rejected the word of Yah;
So what wisdom do they have?
Therefore I will give their wives to others,
And their fields to those who will inherit them;
Because from the least even to the greatest
Everyone is given to covetousness;
From the prophet even to the priest
Everyone deals falsely.
For they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people carelessly,
Saying, ‘Peace, peace!’
When there is no peace.
Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination?
No! They were not at all ashamed,
Nor did they know how to blush.
Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;
In the time of their punishment
They shall be cast down,” says Yah Eloah Tsebaoth . Jer 8:5-12
A ruin, a ruin, a ruin I shall make it. As for this also, it will certainly become
no [one's] until he returns who has the legal right; and I must give [it] to him.
Ezk.21:27
189
False Signs of the End
Because lawlessness will increase, many people’s hearts will grow loveless,
and cold. There will be wars and rumors of wars, but see that you are not
disturbed, (and do not participate in them), for all these things must come to
pass, but the end is not yet. Mt.24:6
For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: There
shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in diverse places. All these
are only the beginning of sorrows.
Many of you will be arrested, tortured, and killed. You shall be hated in every
nation for my name’s sake. Many non-believers will be offended, and will betray
you, and hate one another. Many false prophets shall arise, and shall deceive
many.
190
Anyone Who Tells You I Have Already Returned Is a False Prophet
267
If anyone tells you I have returned, saying I am here, or there, do not believe
it. For there shall arise false Messiahs, and false prophets, and they shall show
great signs and omens and do great miracles; insomuch that, if it were possible,
they shall deceive the very elect.
Nevertheless, I have warned you, so if they say to you, “Behold, he is in the
desert”, do not go out to look, or “behold, he is in the secret chambers”, do not
believe it. For as the lightning comes out of the east, and flashes instantly to the
west, so everyone will know at once, that I am back. (This is still future).
Moses said in the Scroll of Deuteronomy said: “In case a prophet or a dreamer of
a dream arises in your midst and does give you a sign or a portent, and the sign
or the portent does come true of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us walk
after other gods, whom you have not known, and let us serve them,’ you must
not listen to the words of that prophet or to the dreamer of that dream, because
Yah your Eloah is testing YOU to know whether YOU are loving Yah Eloah
Tsebaoth with all YOUR heart and all YOUR soul.” Dt 13:1-3
You must endure to the end to be saved. And this Gospel of the Kingdom
shall be preached in the entire world for a witness to all nations, then shall the
end come.
Even to the death fight for truth, and Yah your Eloah will battle for you.
Sirach 4:28
191
The True Signs of the End
What a day that will be, there will be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in
the stars, and upon the earth and the waves of the sea will be roaring. The
nations will be in great confusion and distress. There will be worldwide
pandemonium. People will die of fright.
Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and
the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the
powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Mat 24:29
For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light:
the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her
light to shine. Isa 13:10
And when I shall put you out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof
dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
Eze 32:7
The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the
moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. Joe 2:10
The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great
and the terrible day of Yah comes. Joe 2:31
268
Then the heavens will shake and I will appear riding on Father’s Shokeyn
cloud of Glory coming with the angels (the ben Elohim –the angel sons of Yah)
Many will flee and try to hide, but my followers who are still alive, will lift up their
heads with joy, for it will be the day of their redemption. I will dispatch Father’s
angels with a great sound of a trumpet; they shall gather together my followers
from the four winds, from one end of the earth to the other.
I kept on seeing in the night in the visions of the night, and, see there! with the
clouds of the heavens someone like a mortal happened to be coming. Dan 7:13
And then shall appear the sign of this mortal in heaven: and then shall all the
tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see this mortal coming in the clouds of
heaven with power and great glory. Mt.24:30
I shall say to the north: Give up! and to the south: Do not keep back. Bring my
sons from far off and my daughters from the extremity of the earth. Is. 43:6
Take a lesson from the trees like the fig tree. When the leaves appear, you
know that summer is nearing. When you see the signs I described, you will know
your redemption is nearing, and Father’s kingdom is at hand.
Here is one more sign; the Jewish race will not pass away until all this is
fulfilled. -Mt.24:32
It would be easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for this prophecy to
fail. It will happen. So guard your hearts, and by patient endurance hold on to the
very end. Do not become slack and give in to your bodily desires. Do not over
eat, or take mind-altering chemicals, or intoxicants. Do not turn your ministry into
a business. I am sending you out to do good, not to do well. Do not spend your
time in stress-filled projects and worry-filled jobs, or my return will come upon you
as a curse, and not a blessing. It will come as a noose instead of good news, for I
am coming as a noose for many people. Keep a sharp sober outlook, and always
pray that you may be accounted worthy to escape the things that shall come to
pass, and to stand before me with joy.
192 Don’t Trust Anyone Who Says They Have Figured Out When I Will Return
Mrk. 13
Only Father knows the day and hour of my return, no one else knows, not
even I nor the angels of heaven know.
Since God is all-knowing, Yahshuah cannot be God since he is not allknowing. Some commentators try to split Yahshuah into a hybrid saying
his humans side did not know, but his God side knew. “This seems little
different from saying, that one is poor because he has no money in one
pocket, though in the other pocket one has a million dollars.” (Buzzard &
Hunt, 1998)
However, it will be just as the days of Noah were. People were wining, dining,
and marrying, until the day that Noah entered into the ark. No one believed the
269
flood was really coming until it swept them all away. That is what my return will
be like. So watch and be prepared.
193
Stay Alert and Be Ready, but it May Be a Long Time
I am like a man going on a long journey, which tells his servants to take care
of the villa and commands the porter to watch the door. You do know not when
the master of the house will return, it might be in the evening, or at midnight, or at
the cockcrowing in the morning. Nevertheless, be ready. Do not let him find you
missing from your posts. Stay alert and Watch.
Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not, this mortal
cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler
over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant,
whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Mt.24:44
194
The Story of the Ten Teens Who Started Out to a Wedding
Mt. 25
Ten virginal youths (men and women) were invited to a wedding. Anticipating
that the bridegroom might be late, they brought oil lamps. Five of the youths were
wise and five were foolish. The wise brought extra oil with them in case the
bridegroom was very late. They were waiting at the rendezvous, and grew tired,
and fell asleep. At midnight, they heard a voice, “Awake the bridegroom is here.”
They all awoke and lit there lamps and went to meet him. The foolish youths
said, “Our lamps are going out.” They turned to the wise youths and begged
them for some oil, but the wise youths said, “We only have enough for our lamps,
but if you hurry you can run to the village and buy some. We’ll meet you at the
bride’s house.”
Therefore, the foolish youths ran to the village, woke the oil merchant, and
hurried to the bride’s house. However, when they arrived, they were too late. The
wedding party had entered the house and locked the door. They knocked
repeatedly saying to the bride’s father “Adoni, open the door.” But he said, “Go
away, I do not know you.”
The oil is the Gospel of the Kingdom- the words of Yahshuah. Study
Yahshuah’s words often. When you stop reading them, your oil runs out,
and your light dies.
Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. Psalm 119:105
195
Yahshuah Like a Shepherd Will Sort Out the People of the World Mt. 25
270
When I return with the angels, I will sit on the Shokeyn Glory cloud on a
throne and everyone from every nation will pass before me. I will separate the
good from the bad the way a shepherd divides sheep from goats.
And as for you, my sheep, this is Yah Almighty has said: Here I am judging
between a sheep and a sheep, between the rams and the he-goats. Ezk.34:17
And I will clean out from among YOU the revolters and the transgressors
against me. Ezk.20:38
I will put the sheep (the good people) on my right hand and the bad ones,
goats, on my left. I will say to those on my right, “Come my beloved inherit the
kingdom that Father has prepared for the righteous from before the world was
created. For when I was hungry, you gave me food, and when was I was thirsty,
you gave me drink, and when I needed a place to stay, you sheltered me. When I
needed clothes, you gave me some. When I was sick you comforted me, and
when I was in prison you came to comfort me.”
Then the good people will ask me, “Master when did we see you hungry and
fed you, or thirsty and gave you drink? When did we shelter you, or give you
clothes? When were you sick, and when did we comfort you in prison?”
And I will say to them, “Whenever you did it to any of the people on the earth,
you did it to me.”
But the holy ones of the Supreme One will receive the kingdom and they will
take possession of the kingdom for times everlasting even forever and ever.
Dan.7:18
He that is showing favor to the lowly ones (giving to the poor) is lending to Yah
and Yah will repay him. Prov.19:17
Suppose there is a truly good man who always does what is fair and right. He
refuses to eat meat sacrificed to foreign gods at local shrines or to worship
Israel's idols. He doesn't have sex with someone else's wife or with a woman
having her monthly period. He uses no violence. He never cheats or robs anyone
and always returns anything taken as security for a loan; he gives food and
clothes to the poor and doesn't charge interest when lending money. He refuses
to do anything evil; he is fair to everyone and faithfully obeys my laws and
teachings. This man is good, and I promise he will live. Ekz 18:5
This place, O Enoch, is prepared for the righteous, who endure all manner of
offence from those that exasperate their souls, who avert their eyes from
iniquity, and make righteous judgment, and give bread to the hungering, and
cover the naked with clothing, and raise up the fallen, and help injured orphans,
and who walk without fault before the face of Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth,
and serve him alone, and for them is prepared this place for eternal inheritance.
Slavonic Enoch (2 Enoch) 9: 1
271
Then I will say to the goats, the bad people, on my left, “Depart from me you
cursed ones into the fiery pit of annihilation, created for Azazel and the rebel
spirits, for when I was hungry you gave me no food, and when I was thirsty, you
gave me no drink. Moreover, when I needed a place to stay, you offered me
nothing. When I was sick, you never comforted me. And when I was in prison,
you never came nor offered me any help.”
They will sob and say, “But Master, we never saw you hungry, or thirsty, we
never knew you needed shelter. We never knew when you were sick or in
prison.”
And I will say to them, “As you never did it to anyone on the earth, so you
never did it to me.”
Is it not to dividing of your bread out to the hungry one, and that you bring
the afflicted and homeless people into your house? That, in case you see the
naked you must cover him, and that you should not hide yourself from your poor
relatives? Is.58:7
Also, loving-kindness belongs to you, O Yah for you yourself pay back to
each one according to his work. Ps.62:12
I, Yah, am searching the heart, examining the emotions, even to give to each
one according to his ways, according to the fruitage of his dealings. Je.17:10
And it came to pass after Yahshuah had finished teaching his disciples he
said to them, “You know in two days each Jewish will sacrifice a lamb for the
Passover and I will be crucified”.
(Editor’s note: It is clear from the text that Yahshuah’s last meal which
he calls the Passover was a day before the Jewish Passover, for he died
when the Passover lambs were being slain. The Passover he was
celebrating that year lined up with the Essene’s calendar. The Essene’s
were vegetarians and their meal was without blood. Yahshuah knew that
Azazel was going to kill him with the Passover lambs to try to make him
look like a sacrifice. Since Yahshuah taught that Yah does not want
sacrifice, he chose to celebrate the Essene’s Passover to show that he was
not the Passover lamb. He was the shepherd not the lamb. Yahshuah
knew that Azazel was going to murder him and blame it on Yah and say
Yahshuah was sacrificed by his father; this makes Yah a God of human
sacrifice. I imagine that as Yahshuah hung dying on the cross, Azazel
came to him and whispered “Why don’t you call down the angels and stop
this, because I am going to blame it on your father?” This was the final
temptation to defend the Father’s name.
“The Essene sect, in particular, celebrated Passover a day before the
other sects. When the various New Testament accounts are combined, it
appears Jesus celebrated the Passover on the night of the 13th day of
272
Nisan (14th in the Essene calendar), specifically in the Essene quarter of
Jerusalem.”

“the Essene observance of the Passover Seder was always on a
Tuesday night.” (Finegan 1998:43, 48) end of Editor’s note).
196
The Plotters Grow Restless
Mrk. 14
Meanwhile Kayafa, and the rogues among the Mosaic Law Experts, and the
rogues among the Senate, and the other illegal chief priests (Gamaliel and
Shammai) , were conspiring. They wanted to find some way to kill him during the
feast without being detected. “We must kill him, for everyone is converting to
him.”
197 Yahshuah Officially Meets With Some Non-Jews (indicating that
His Gospel of the Kingdom is for non-Jews too)
The next day, as they were entering Yerushalayim, some Greek God-seekers
asked Philippos if they could meet Yahshuah. Philippos told Andrew, and
together they approached Yahshuah and said, “There are some Greeks who fear
Yah who have come to the feast, they would like to meet you.”
Yahshuah said, “The hour has come for me to be glorified, take me to them.”
When he met them, he said,
“If you follow me and serve me, Yah will honor you. For where I am, my
followers will be. If you love your psyche life in this world and live to increase it,
you will lose it, but if you hate your psyche life in this world, you will not lose it,
but gain eternal Zoë- life. Unless a grain of wheat dies and is buried in the
ground it is alone. But once it dies and is buried, it produces hundreds of grains.’
Then lifting his eyes towards heaven he prayed, “Father I am troubled, I
would like to say save me from this hour, but I was born for this hour. Father
glorify your name.”
A voice came from heaven, “I have glorified my name and will do it again.”
Some of the Greeks said it was thunder, and others said, “It was the voice of
an angel.”
Yahshuah said, “This voice did not speak for my sake, but to help you
believe. For now the showdown is coming upon the earth and Azazel the god of
this world (Kosmokrator) will be broken. And when I am lifted up, I will draw “my
friends to me.” (Persic version)
The Greek truth seekers said, “We have heard that the Messiah will rule
forever. If you are the Messiah, why do you say you must be lifted up? It sounds
like you will be lifted up in death. If you are not the Messiah who is? “
273
Yahshuah said to them, “I am the Messiah. I am the light of the Cosmos
In that hour was this Mortal invoked before the Eloah of spirits, and his
name in the presence of the Ancient of days. Before the sun and the signs were
created, before the stars of heaven were formed, his name was invoked in the
presence of the Eloah of spirits. A support shall he be for the righteous and the
holy to lean upon, without falling; and he shall be the light of nations. He shall
be the hope of those whose hearts are troubled. Enoch 48:2
Walk in the light while you have the light, lest darkness come upon you: for he
that walks in darkness does not know where he goes. I will only be with you a
short time longer. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be
the children of light.” Then he departed.
Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast
out. John 12:31
Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince ( ruler-archon-devil-god
of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. John 14:30
(Editor’s note: The devil-god, Azazel, who rules this planet, according to
this, can only be in one place a one time and cannot read minds. Yahshuah
saw him approaching and went silent. Azazel was about to get his comeuppance and would be cast off the throne of Death and no longer be able to
hold believers in the Land of Death.)
198
Yahshuah Rebukes Some Senators for Being Secret Followers Jn. 12
As he was going, he saw some Senators that believed in him. Nevertheless,
they were secret believers because they were afraid of the rogue Pharisees and
did not want to be put out of the synagogue. Yahshuah rebuked them saying,
You love the praises of men more than the praises of Yah. Whoever believes
(unites with, loves, and obeys) me believes not in me, but in Father who sent me.
I have come as a light into the world, that whosoever believes on me should not
abide in darkness. If any one hears my words, and disbelieves, I will not
condemn him, for I came not to condemn people, but to save people. Whoever
rejects me, and believes not my words, has one however, that will condemn him:
the words (Gospel, logos) that I have spoken, the same shall judge him on the
Resurrection Day. For I did not speak my own words, but Father’s words, he
commanded me to say the words I spoke, and his words lead to immortality.
199
Judas Becomes Devil-Possessed
Lk. 22
274
Then Azazel took over the Moabite Apostle, Judas ben Shimon of Keriot. He
sent him to the chief priests (Gamaliel and Shammai) and he asked, “What will
you give me, if I turn Yahshuah over to you?” They were delighted by the offer,
and agreed to give him thirty silver coins. From that, moment on, Judas was
looking for an opportunity to betray him.
A man of envious eye is hurrying himself to be rich, but he does not know
that want itself will come upon him. Pv.28:22
A bribe they have taken in you for the purpose of shedding blood. Ezk.22:12
Moses said: You must not pervert judgment. You must not be partial or
accept a bribe, for the bribe blinds the eyes of wise ones and distorts the
words of righteous ones. De.16:19
Then I said to them: If it be good in YOUR eyes, give [me] my wages; but if
not, refrain. And they proceeded to pay my wages, thirty pieces of silver.
Zec.11:12
If it was a man slave or a maid slave that the bull gored; he will give the
price of thirty shekels [of silver] to that one's master, and the bull will be stoned.
Ex.21:32
Every morning Yahshuah taught in the Temple, and every evening he and
his followers camped on the Mount of Olives.
200
The Essene’s Passover
Mrk. 14
Late on Monday afternoon (as Monday was drawing to a close), just a few
hours before the Essenes celebrated their Passover Seder, Yahshuah knew his
time had come. He sent Peter and Yahchanan into the city to prepare the meal.
He said, “sit by the Eastern gate, and you will see a man come in carrying a clay
water jug, follow him and when he goes into a house, say to the owner of the
house that I have accepted his invitation. He will show you an upper room
prepared. Make the final preparations and we will come.”
When evening came, the Apostles slipped into the city one at a time, and
lastly Yahshuah entered. When they were all in the upper room, they locked the
door and reclined at the Table.
The Essenes’ Passover that year began just after sundown, it was the
beginning of Tuesday. The Jewish day always began in the evening.
Yahshuah died therefore just before sunset as Tuesday was drawing to a
close. That was when the Jews were sacrificing their animals. Exactly
seventy-two hours later (late Friday Afternoon), Yahshuah resurrected, just
minutes before the Sabbath started.
Azazel murdered Yahshuah with the intent of falsely labeling him a
Passover Lamb and a sacrifice to Yah. Yah never wanted sacrifices. This
was Azazel’s blasphemous accusation as he tried to paint Yah as a
275
merciless judge who demanded the blood of his innocent son. The
Essenes were Vegetarians so their Passover had no blood. By observing
the Essenes’ bloodless Passover, Yahshuah is telling us that Yah neither
requires nor desires blood sacrifices and that Yahshuah was not offering
himself as a sacrifice, but was framed and murdered by Azazel.
201
Celebrating the Essene’s Passover
Yahshuah said, “I am so happy this night has arrived. I have been longing to
share this Passover meal with you. This will be our last Passover meal together
until we eat at the feast on the Resurrection Day. But before we eat…”
Yahshuah stood up, wrapped an apron around himself, brought a tub of
water, and went around the table washing each Apostle’s feet, and drying them
with the apron. When he came to Peter, Peter protested, “You are the Adoni and
we are your students, we should be washing your feet. I cannot allow you to
wash mine.”
Yahshuah said, “If I do not wash your feet Peter, then you will not be part of
me.”
Peter sighed, “Then Master wash all of me, not just my feet. I want all of me
to be part of you.”
“You have already bathed today and just your feet need cleaning. But one of
you is not clean and no amount of water can cleanse him.” (He was referring to
Judas of Keriot). When he removed the apron, and reclined again at the table, he
said,
“You see by my example that the greatest among you must act like a slave to
all the others. Follow my example in all your dealings with other people.”
The Wisdom Meal Luke 22:29
202
203
And I make a covenant with YOU, just as my Father has made a covenant
with me, for a kingdom As he gave me a kingdom I now allot it to you. Rule as I
rule as servants not masters.
He is the one that will build a house for my name, and I shall certainly
establish the throne of his kingdom firmly to everlasting time. 2Sa.7:13
And I will cause him to stand in my house and in my kingship for everlasting
time, and his throne itself will become one lasting for everlasting time.
1Ch.17:14
Look! There are days coming, is the utterance of Yah and I will conclude with
the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant. Je.31:31
276
And your house and your kingdom will certainly be steadfast to time everlasting
before you; your very throne will become one firmly established to time
everlasting. 2Sa.7:16
Have no fear little flock; because YOUR Father has approved of giving YOU the
kingdom Lk.12:32
Because you have stood by me through these years of trials I confer on you the
right That YOU may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on
thrones to judge the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 22:30
The early judges were saviors, and the 12 apostles are sent as saviors, not
to rule over, but to be deliverers to the willing in Israel and the whole earth,
and just as the throne of Jesus was a torture stake hanging in a tree, they
were to expect similar thrones.
Then he took some Matzah bread (a wafer like a cracker made without
leaven), thanked Yah, and broke one piece (the afikomen) and passed
more wafers around saying, Eat Wisdom. Wisdom is the bread of my body
that will be broken like this Matzah. When you eat Matzah, remember this
night and remember man does not live by bread alone, but by the wisdom
that comes from Abba’s mouth.
During the afikomen ritual, half of the broken wafer is hidden to remerge
at the time of dessert. The child who finds, it ransom’s it for some
money. It is a fitting symbol of the ransom of Yahshuah and his
resurrection.
Then he took a goblet of fresh grape juice, thanked Yah again, and said, “I
will not drink of the fruit of this vine again until the Kingdom of Yah shall come.”
He drank wine on the cross, which was his throne and he was wearing
his crown, of thorns and there received the kingdom having triumphed over
sin and Azazel. That’s when the Kingdom came.
He took a sip and passed it to Yahchanan who was reclining to his right and
said, “Pass it on and divide it twelve ways. This juice symbolizes the wisdom that
flows from Father. Yah’s Wisdom has taught you how to remove sins. Wisdom is
the New Covenant blood that I am pouring out for you and for the many who will
become my followers. -Mt. 26:26
Wisdom has built and furnished (its) home; it is supported by seven columns.
She has set her table with food and mixed her wine. She has not sent her servant
girls but gone herself to the village plaza to invite everyone within the sound of
her voice. She says “Are you confused about life, don't know what's going on?
Come with me, oh come, and eat my bread and drink my wine...” Proverbs 9:1-4
203
The Traitor
277
Then his countenance fell, and he said, “One of you who has eaten this
Matzah will betray me to fulfill the prophecy:
“Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread,
has lifted up his heel against me, and tripped and kicked me.” Psalm 149: 9
Is it not a sorrow unto death when your bosom companion becomes your
enemy? Sirach 37: 2
"Alas, my companion! Why were you created, to blanket the earth with
deceit?" Sirach 35: 3
Cursed is the one who accepts a payment then slays the innocent . De.27:25
For they (the wicked ) eat the bread of wickedness And drink the wine of
violence. Prov 4:17
The Apostles were immediately thrown into a state of sorrow and confusion
and asked, “Who is it? The beloved disciple who was reclining to his right asked,
“Can you tell me Master? It would break my heart if it was to be me.”
204
Yahshuah Tells Judas He knows He is the Traitor
Yahshuah said, “His hand is on the table dipping Matzah bread. The son of
Adam, this mortal goes just as it was written of him, but It would have been better
for his betrayer, if he had never been born.”
Where will the habitation of sinners be . . . who have rejected the Lord of
spirits? It would have been better for them, had they never been born. (Enoch
38:2)
“And after sixty-two weeks Christ shall be slain: and the people that shall deny
him shall not be his.” (Daniel 9:26 DRB)
Yahshuah then leaned over, dipped some bread (in a paste of bitter herbs)
and handed it to Judas Ben Shimon of Keriot, who whispered, “Is it I?”
“Yes, whatever you are planning to do, do it now.” Judas left the table, and
left the room. Since Judas carried the moneybag, the other Apostles thought
Yahshuah told him to go out buy some more food for the feast, or to give some
money to the poor, which was the custom during the feast. (Only the beloved
disciple knew Judas was involved in the betrayal). Judas went out into the night.
It was the 3rd hour, “Tuesday, 9:00 PM” (Bullinger’s Companion Bible).
Then Yahshuah said,
Now it is set in motion and soon, I, a mortal son of Adam, will receive divine
power and Father’s Shokeyn angel will manifest the power in me.
205
Yahshuah Warns Peter
Mrk. 14
278
Yahshuah turned to Peter and said, “Azazel has been trying to tear you way
from me as the wind tears away the chaff from the wheat. Tonight he will hit you
with a gale. After the devastating storm passes, pick up the pieces, gather the
disciples, and comfort them.
Peter said, “He can never tear me from you. I will go anywhere for you. I will
die for you.”
Yahshuah said, “Yes I know, but before this night is over, before even one
rooster crows twice, you will utterly deny knowing me, not once, not twice, but
three times.”
But he began to say profusely: If I have to die with you, I will by no means
disown you. Also, all the others began saying the same thing. Mark 14:31
Then he said, “My followers will be known by love. You are to love others as I
have loved you laying down your lives in service to them.
By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to
another. John 13:34
206 The Promise of Shelter in the Father’s Kingdom
Jn. 14
In Father’s Kingdom, there will be many dwelling places for you to rest in. I
am going to secure them for you, and when I return for you, I will take you to
them and we will rest in them together.”
In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told
you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I
will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be
also. Jn. 14:2
In that day shall the Elect One sit upon a throne of glory, and shall choose
their conditions and countless habitations. (Enoch 45:3)
Toma asked, “Where are you going? How can we find the way?”
Yahshuah replied, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one can come to
Father, unless they come through me.”
Philippos said,” Master show us the Father.”
“Yahshuah asked him, “Have I been with you all this time, and you have not
seen the father in me? If you want to know what Father looks like, look at me. I
am his exact reflection. The words that I speak are his words not mine. The
miracles I performed are his miracles not mine.
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words
that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me,
279
he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or
else believe me for the very works’ sake. Jn. 14:10
If you love me, obey Father’s words that I spoke. When I reach Father, he will
send a pure spirit to instruct you –The Pure Spirit of the Truth. He is an angel and
will be invisible to the world, but you will know him, for he will be in you. In
addition, I too will come as a spirit and be with you. Then you will know that I am
in the Father and Father himself will be in you, and you will be in us.
207
Yahshuah Promises to Send the Pure Spirit, the Spirit of the Truth
Jn. 14
"If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. And I will ask the Father,
and He will give you another Paraclete (interpreter/historian/oracle/angel), l
that it may be with you forever;” (ALT) that it shall dwell with you into the
age. Joh 14:15
"the Spirit (messenger) of the truth, Whom the world does not have the
power to receive, because it neither beholds it nor knows it. But you know it
because it dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you bereaved; I
will come to you”. Joh 14:17
"But the Paraclete (interpreter/historian/oracle), the Spirit angel, the pure
one, whom the Father will send in My name, that one will teach you all (about
me) and will cause you to remember all which I said to you. Joh 14:26
"When the Paraclete (Angel) (interpreter/historian/oracle), I will send you
from the Father comes--the Spirit of the Truth issuing from the Father--it will
confirm everything about me. John 15:26
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if
I go not away, the Paraclete (angel) will not come to you; but if I depart, I will
send him to you. And when it is come, it will reprove the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment. John 16:7
Moreover, I have much to say to you: but ye cannot comprehend it now. Joh
16:12
He only spoke words to them, that they had the power to comprehend. Mark
4:33
But when the Spirit of the truth shall come, it will lead you into all the truth.
Joh 16:13
Not all the truth in the world but all the truth about Yahshuah. It will fully
explain everything that may now appear dark or difficult to you
For it will not speak from its own mind; but whatever it hears, that will it
speak
He shall teach nothing contrary to what Yahshuah taught:
280
and it will make known to you things to come
ho erchomenos (the coming one) used of the Messiah. The Spirit does
not reveal all truth in the world to men (like physics, and geometry), but it
leads them to all the truth as taught by the Messiah; especially about the
return of the Messiah. It does not introduce new doctrines,
commandments, rituals, alternate ways to be saved, or mystical teachings,
nor give a road map of the future. Its mission is to explain clearly what
Yahshuah taught.
It will glorify me; because it will receive of what is mine, and will show [it]
to you. Whatever the Father hath, is mine: therefore said I to you that it will
receive of what is mine, and will show [it] to you. Joh 16:14
It helps you understand the words of Yahshuah.
But you know it because it dwells with you. Jn 14:17
So how was the it dwelling with the apostles and they knew it?
Yahshuah said his words were spirit and they knew his words and believed
them. So they knew the voice of Yah via the spirit angel that was on
Yahshuah.
How did Yahshuah get these pneuma spirit words? At his baptism at the
Jordan River, the Father sent down a pneuma, a pure spirit. John the
Baptizer said he saw the pneuma angel, it looked like a dove descending
and the pneuma rested and stayed on Yahshuah.
Just before his death, Yahshuah promised he would not leave his
followers without help, but would petition the father to send another
pneuma which would dwell in them. They would then hear the same
familiar words of the father. This new pure spirit is not the same one
Yahshuah had, but its voice would be well known to them.
As it is written in the Scroll of Exodus:
Behold, I send an Angel before you, to keep you in the way, and to bring you into
the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke
him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him. But
if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an
enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries. Ex 23:2022
208
Yahshuah Will One Day Return
So do not be saddened because I said I am departing this world, I will not
abandon you. I will return. Jn.14:18
281
I am leaving you my peace, and it is far greater than the peace the world can
give. I have told you these things in advance, so when they happen, your faith
will be strengthened.
209
The Analogy of the Grape Branches and the Vine
Jn. 15
I am the true a grape vine you are l the branches. Father is the vine expert.
Every branch that stops producing, he cuts it off and throws it into the fire.
If Yahshuah is the true grapevine, who is the false grape vine? The pagan
wine cult of Tauroprosopos (bull-faced) Dionysius (Baal).
Yah brought Israel out of Egypt, displaced the Bull cult and planted Israel as a
vine of wisdom. But the shepherds (rulers of Israel) were like were like
watchdogs that did not bark, so,
“a boar out of the woods” ravaged the vine.” (Psalm 80:13 (14).
His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they
cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yea, they are greedy
dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot
understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his
quarter. Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with
strong drink; and tomorrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
Isa 56:10-12
The boar/bull was the sacred fertility animal of the mother goddess
Asherah/Demeter, who manifested herself in the wine cult as
Adonis/Dionysius. Israel was never able to destroy her orgiastic wine cult,
and eventually she overtook Israel.
Now will I sing to my well beloved a song of my beloved touching his
vineyard. My well beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill: And he
fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest
vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein:
and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild
grapes. Isa 5:1-2
Yet I had planted you a noble vine, wholly a right seed; how then art thou
turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto Me? Jer 2:21
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their
grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps. Deut.
32:32-33
Yahshuah was fighting the Bull wine cult that had taken over Israel and
identifies himself as the true vine of wisdom. He is offering salvation to
282
those who unite with him, but is also warning that the Father is ready to
destroy those who continue in the bull cult.
Many shepherd (false prophets and rogue leaders) have destroyed my
vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my
pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. Jer 12:10
Israel is an empty vine, Hos 10:1
The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; Joe 1:12
I will surely consume them, saith Yah: there shall be no grapes on the vine,
nor figs on the fig tree Jer 8:13
And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take
away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall
thereof, and it shall be trodden down: Isa 5:5
Every branch that is producing, he prunes it so it will produce more. Since you
have heard my words and obeyed them, they have pruned, purged, and made
you pure. If you continue to obey the words I spoke, you will be like a healthy
branch attached to the vine. However, remember, a branch must stay attached to
the vine to bear grapes. If you break away from the vine, you will wither and die
and be cast into the fire.
(Editor’s note: Yahshuah specifies that he alone is the vine. If you attach
yourself to all the writers of the whole Bible as the vine, you will be
attached to hundreds of speakers along with Yahshuah. To bear the fruit of
eternal life you must only be attached to one vine.)
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and
it shall be done unto you. Jn.15:7
210
Do You Want the Father and Yahshuah to Love You?
Jn. 15
If you obey my commandments, you will continue in my love, and Father will
love you. I have told you this so your joy may be full.
If you keep my commandments you will dwell in my agape-love, just as I
have kept my father's commandments and I dwell in [his] agape-love. This have
I spoken to you that my joy be in you and your joy be made full. Faithful N.T.Jn.15: 10
211
You Are Not a Slave, You are a Brother, or a Sister, and You can
also be a Friend Jn. 15
283
If you obey my words, you will be my friends. There is no greater love than to
lay down your life in a life of service to your friends. If you do that, I will no longer
call you my servants, but my friends.
Greater agape-love no one has than this, that he lay-down his psyche-life in
his philia-beloveds' behalf. You are my philia-beloved, if you are doing what I
command you. Faithful N.T. Jn.15:13
Let your acquaintances be many, but one in a thousand your confidant. When
you gain a friend, first test him, and be not too ready to trust him. For one sort
of friend is a friend when it suits him, but he will not be with you in time of
distress. Another is a friend who becomes an enemy, and tells of the quarrel to
your shame. Another is a friend, a boon companion, who will not be with you
when sorrow comes. When things go well, he is your other self, and lords it over
your servants; But if you are brought low, he turns against you and avoids
meeting you. Keep away from your enemies; be on your guard with your friends.
A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; he who finds one finds a treasure. A faithful
friend is beyond price, no sum can balance his worth. A faithful friend is a lifesaving remedy, such as he who fears God finds; For he who fears God behaves
accordingly, and his friend will be like himself. Sirach 6:6
Then whatever you ask of Father in my name (that will advance his Kingdom),
he will do it. You do not need me as a mediator.
Then you can make your requests directly to him in relation to this life I've
revealed to you. I won't continue making requests of the Father on your behalf.
(Peterson) Jn 16:26
No longer do I say you [are] slaves, because the slave does not know what his
lord does; but I have called you philia-beloved, because everything that I heard
from my father I made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you,
and dedicated you that you be going and be bearing fruit and your fruit be
remaining, in order that whatever you ask the father in my name he give you.
These [things] I command you, in order that you be agape-loving one another.
Faithful N.T.- Jn.15:15
Do not be alarmed if people hate you for following me. The wicked ones
hated me and they will hate you. They will treat the servants the same way they
treated their master. If you were one of the wicked ones, they would accept you,
but you are not.
If you were of the world, the world was philia-loving its own. Faithful N.T. Jn.15:19
If they would not hear my words, they will not listen to you either. When you
expose sin, sinners will hate you.
If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my
saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they do unto you for
284
my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me. If I had not come and
spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their
sin. He that hateth me hateth my Father also. If I had not done among them the
works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both
seen and hated both me and my Father. But this cometh to pass, that the word
might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
KJV Jn: 15:18
My son, when you come to serve Yah, prepare yourself for trials. Sirach 2:1 1
Do not be surprised when they remove you from their temples, churches,
assemblies, and synagogues and even think they are serving Father by killing
you.
And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and
friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death. And ye shall be
hated of all men for my name's sake. But there shall not an hair of your head
perish. Lk 21: 16
Chastised a little, they shall be greatly blessed, because God tried them and
found them worthy of himself, as gold in the furnace, he proved them. Wisdom
3:5
When the Angel of the Truth (ha malak ha emunah ) comes, the invisible spirit, he
will point people to me. I will send him. He will glorify me and speak only those
things he hears from Father. And you will be my witnesses because you have
been with me from the beginning of my ministry.
“The Eloah of Israel and the Angel of Truth will succor the sons of light.”
From the Dead Sea Scrolls The Community Rule 1QS 3:24
“Those who trust in him shall understand truth, and the faithful shall abide
with him in love: Because grace and mercy are with his holy ones, and his care is
with the elect.” Wisdom 3:9
“By mercy and truth iniquity is purged.” (Prov.16:6)
“Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each
other.” (Ps.85:10)
212
How the Angel of the Truth Will Assist Us
Jn. 16
The New Angel’s mission is to



aid us in recalling word for word everything the Father had spoken
through Yahshuah.
To clear up the parables and dark sayings that we do not understand
to explain everything about the return of Yahshuah
285



to explain everything about sin (and it’s removal through repentance
and forgiving other)
to explain everything about obtaining righteousness (through loving
obedience)
to explain everything about the continuing fall of Azazel (Satan) the
ruler of this world
Yah, the almighty heavenly father is a pneuma and all holy. He is the
father of pneumas (some are pure ones and some have rebelled). He sent
down a pure spirit at the Jordan River that rested on Yahshuah throughout
his ministry.
Nicodemus heard the Pure Spirit’s voice:
In Jn.3.8 "The Spirit (angel) flows where he wants, and you are hearing his
voice; but you are unaware of from where he comes and to where he is going."
For three and a half years, the Apostles heard his voice. That’s how the
Apostles knew him, for he dwelled with them. Yahshuah said when he
reached heaven, he would ask the father to send another pure spirit to
dwell inside each of his followers. These two pure spirits come from Yah,
but they are not Yah, they are emissaries. The first served Yah and
descended on Yahshuah, the second is the emissary of Yahshuah, the
Emissary of the Truth. Ask our heavenly Father to give you this Pure Spirit
–the emissary of the truth. Yahshuah said:
And what father is there among you, who, if his son asks for a slice of bread,
will offer him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish offer him a
snake? or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion? If you then, with all
your human frailty, know how to give your children gifts that are good for them,
how much more certainly will your Father who is in Heaven give the Good
Spirit to those who ask Him! Luk 11:11
And although Yah gives you the bread of adversity and the water of
affliction, yet your teachers will not hide themselves anymore, but your eyes
will see your teachers and your ears will hear a word behind you saying, “This is
the way, walk in it” when you turn to the right and when you turn to the left.
From the Dead Sea Scrolls Isaiah 30:20
He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me:
and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will
manifest myself to him. Jn. 14:21
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words:
and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode
with him. Jn.14:23
286
They make their abode via the Angel of the Truth, that pure spirit, sent by
Father, he will open your understanding about everything concerning Yahshuah,
and help you remember everything he said.
Soon I am going to the one who sent me, but no one has asked, “Where are
you going?” You will be sorrowful and weeping, but it will only be for a little while,
and then you shall be filled with joy.
I am still speaking to you in riddles, but soon I will explain everything clearly.
As for now, the hour is approaching when you will be scattered and flee from me.
For it is written,
I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock shall be scattered abroad.
(Zech.13:7)
And if anyone says to him, What are these wounds in your hands? then he
will say, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. O sword,
awake against my shepherd, even against the able-bodied man who is my
associate, is the utterance of Yah of the ruler of the angels. "Strike the shepherd,
and let those of the flock be scattered; and I will turn my hand back upon those
who are insignificant (the wicked). Zech 13:6
However, I will not be alone for Father will be with me. I am saying these
things so your hearts will have peace. You will soon go through much tribulation,
but be of good cheer, I am more powerful than anything the world can send at
you. I have vanquished the world. When I have risen I will meet you in the Galil
region.
In the world you have affliction, but be of good courage, I have overcome the
world. Faithful N.T.- Jn 16:32
213
Yahshuah Links Immortality to Correct Knowledge of Yah Jn. 17
Then he prayed, “Father, this is the hour when you will glorify me, so I can
glorify you. You have given me power over all things visible and invisible and the
right to give immortality to humans.
Just as you gave to him authority over all flesh, in order that everything that
you gave to him, he give to them eternal Zoë-life. Faithful N.T.- Jn.17:1
The path to immortality begins when they know me, your Messiah. On the
Resurrection Day, I will bring them to you, and they will know you, as I know you
Yah, the one and only true Eloah.
287
And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true Eloah, and
Yahshuah (the) Christ, whom thou hast sent. Jn.17:3
Faithful N.T.- Jn 17:3 This is eternal Zoë-life, that they know you the only
true Eloah
“Monos Alethinos Theos” Once again we see the word Monotheism.
The Only True Eloah is the Father. He is a spirit. He is Holy. He is not
divided into three person. Yahshuah is his mortal son.
214
Yahshuah’s Prayer to the Father For Believers
Jn. 17
I have finished the work you gave me to do and I am longing to receive the
Glory you set aside for me before the world began.
I gave my followers your words and they believe them. They know that
everything I did was You Father working through me. I pray that when I leave
them behind in the world, that you will keep them united, as we are united. They
were yours to begin with, you gave them to me to guide, and I have not lost any,
except the one the prophets said I would lose, Judas Ben Shimon of Keriot, the
Son of Perdition. Please fill them with the gladness you gave me.
I know those controlled by Azazel in the world will hate them, for they hated
me, and I do not ask you to remove them from the world, but help them be your
agents and strengthen them in times of temptations. Keep them hungry for your
Davar (words, message, teachings, logos. Gospel, actions), so your truth will
continually refocus and cleanse them. Just as you gave me a mission, I have
passed your mission on to them. And so I do not just pray for them, but for all
those who will hear the Gospel of the Kingdom, and take up the mission of
teaching it to others. So keep them united, so people will see that you love them
as much as you have loved me. I have given them your name, (Yah Eloah
Tsebaoth ), and they will publish it. I pray that the love I felt from you will be felt
by them, and be in them and that I too by spirit may be in them, and we will all be
perfected as one. I pray that my disciples will one day reign at my side and
behold the Glory, which you set aside for me before the foundation of the earth.
“And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I
had with you before the world was”. (John 17:5)
After the 2nd Century, Greek Christians added Greek words to explain
that Yahshuah was pre-existent. In Hebrew thought Yahshuah speaks of
future events as if they had already happened. God’s plan is settled and it
will come to pass.
Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the
foundation of the world: (Mt.25:34)
When we enter the full kingdom we will say we have what we already
had. In the same way Yahshuah says he had his glory before the world
288
was. That does not mean we lived in the Kingdom before the foundation of
the world, or that Yahshuah lived in his glory before the world was.
Yahshuah was produced in the womb of Mary. He did into “pass through”
her womb.
“That glory existed in Yah’s plan, and in that sense Jesus already had it.
We note that Jesus did not say give me back or restore to me the glory
which I had when I was alive with you before my birth.” (A. Buzzard & C.
Hunting, The Doctrine of the Trinity, International Scholars Publications,
Oxford, 1998, p.165)
Father you are the only truly righteous one. The world does not know that, for
only I alone have met you, but I have revealed your name (Yah Eloah
Tsebaoth), and what I know of you to these first believers, and will reveal more,
so that the love you have given me may also extend to them.”
215
Money Bags, Robbers and Swords
Lk. 22
And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and beggar’s bag,
and sandals, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing. (Luk 22:35)
(When they arrest criminals what do they find?”
“Money bags, begging bags and swords.”
“That is right. The prophets said the Messiah will be mistaken for a common
criminal, so I will need swords and money bags.)
“He that hath a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a beggar’s bag: and
he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.
Peter said, “Judas left the moneybag and I saw two swords in the back room”.
“That will be enough.”
For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me,
And he was reckoned among the transgressors. LK 22:37
216
Azazel Arrives in Yerushalayim
Then Yahshuah was silent. He said,
Hush here comes Azazel, (the prince of the power of the air, Satan, the
adversary, chief archon, the ruler, devil-god of this Cosmos). He has no power
over me and does not know my plan.
Azazel can only be in one place at one time, and cannot read minds.
No longer will I speak many [things] with you, for the ruler of the world
comes and he has nothing in me. Faithful N.T.- John 14:30
289
217
The Route to the Olive Grove of Gethsemane
Then Yahshuah, and the eleven, sang the Passover Hallel hymn which
contains these lines
Psalm 118
They compass me about like bees; they are quenched as the
fire of thorns; verily, in the name of Yah I will cut them off.
Thou didst thrust sore at me that I might fall; but Yah helped me.
Yah is my strength and song; and He is become my salvation.
The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous; the right
hand of Yah does valiantly. The right hand of Yah is exalted; the right hand of
Yah does valiantly. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Yah.
Yah has chastened me sore; but He has not given me over unto death…I will give
thanks unto You, for Thou hast answered me, and art become my
salvation. The stone which the builders rejected is become the chief corner-stone.
This is Yah 'S doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. …O give thanks unto Yah, for
He is good, for His mercy endures forever. (Psa.118:1-29)
After they sang, they went out of Yerushalayim through the Eastern gate,
down through the valley of Gey-hinnom, crossed a bridge over the Kidron brook
and ravine, and went up the Mount of Olives to an Olive Grove called
Gethsemane (the Place of the Olive Press).
The valley of Gey-hinnom (Gehenna) is where Solomon defiled and
sacrificed hundreds of young girls.
The Kidron ravine is the path David took when he was forced to flee
Jerusalem by his son Absalom. David went up the Mount of Olives
weeping.

Yahshuah is Tempted to Turn Back
Jn. 17
He said to his Apostles, “there will be many temptations tonight, pray for
strength.” Taking Peter, Yahchanan , and Yah-kov, he went deeper into the
garden and was overcome with sorrow.
“Stay here and be look outs, pray that temptations don’t overcome you.” he
said and continued about a stone’s throw from them and prostrated himself on
the ground face down.
“Abba,” he prayed, “My body is recoiling with fear for what is coming. Is there
perhaps another way? Must I drink this vile cup? Nevertheless I want your will
and not mine.”
290
To do your will, O my God, I have delighted, in the roll of the Scroll it is
within my inward parts. Ps.40:8
He went back and found the three Apostles asleep. He woke them and
asked, “Could you not watch for me in this my hour of need? My life is grieving
unto death. My spirit is willing, but my flesh is weak. Continue to pray for me.”
He then went back and prayed that the Father would spare him from the hour
ahead. He was in such agony he was going into shock and the sweat fell from
him in great drops as if blood was coming from his pores. Father heard his
agonizied prayers and sent an angel to give him strength. When the angel had
strengthened him, he arose and went to the apostles. “Wake up and keep
praying for more temptations are coming. This mortal is about to be betrayed into
the hands of sinners. Look here comes my betrayer.”
219
Judas Comes With the Rogues to Arrest Yahshuah
Jn.18
They could see torches, and people, moving into the garden coming towards
them. It was Judas Ben Shimon of Keriot with a mob sent by the elders and chief
priests (Sahmmai and Gamaliel). There were Temple guards with swords, and a
band of Pharisees with staffs and clubs, and some rogue Mosaic Law experts.
Judas had received the thirty pieces of silver and was about to betray Yahshuah.
Yahshuah fully realizing what was happening went to meet them and asked,
“Who are you looking for?”
“Yahshuah of Netzeret.”
“I am he.”
As soon as Yahshuah said ‘I am he,” the mob drew back and fell to the
ground as if an invisible force had knocked them down. Yahshuah asked them
again, “Who are you looking for?”
Rising to their feet, they said again, “Yahshuah of Netzeret.”
“I told you I am he. If you are only looking for me, then let the other men here
go free.” he said this to fulfill the prophecy,
Of those that you gave me, I lost none.
Then Judas stepped forward and said, “Shalom Rabbi.” He had given the
guards a sign saying, “whomever I kiss is the man you want to arrest.” Judas
kissed him very tenderly and Yahshuah said,
“Judas, will you betray the Messiah with a kiss?”
Wounds made by a friend are intended to help, but an enemy's kisses are too
much to bear. Prov 27:6
291
And as I watched, I saw Azazel approach Him and he kissed Him on the face
and then stood behind Him. And I said, "0 Eternal One! Who is the Man
insulted and beaten, who is worshipped by the nations and kissed by Azazel?"
And He answered and said, "Hear Abraham! The Man you saw insulted and
beaten and yet worshipped by many, He is the 'Relief' granted by the nations to
the people who proceed from you, in the last days, in the twelfth hour of the age
of ungodliness. But in the twelfth hour of my final age will I set up this Man (the
Messiah, Yahshuah) from your generation, whom you saw issue from among
my people, and all who follow will become like this Man, and such as are called
by me will join the others, even those who will to change within themselves. (A
neat definition of repentance. The Apocalypse of Abraham 1:55-56
220
Peter Tries to prevent the Arrest
Jn. 23
Then Peter drew one of the two swords and struck the High Priest’s servant
Melekh, and cut off his right ear.
Yahshuah restrained Peter and asked, “Shall I not drink the cup that Father
has prepared me for? Put up your sword, all who live by the sword will die by the
sword. Do you not understand that I could call 60,000 angels and Father would
send them to me?”
The chariots of Yah are ten thousands and thousands upon thousands. From
the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 68:17
And Elisha began to pray and said: O Yah, open his eyes, please, that he may
see. Immediately Yah opened the attendant's eyes; so that he saw; and, look! the
mountainous region was full of horses and war chariots of fire round about
Elisha. 2Ki.6:17
Wisdom is better than weapons of war. Ecclesiastes 9 :18
Anyone shedding man's blood, by man will his own blood be shed, for in
God's image he made man. Ge.9:6
Yahshuah went to the wounded servant and touched the wound, and the
bleeding stopped, and instantly his ear was back on his head as good as new.
Then he said to the mob and the soldiers,
“Am I a wild bandit that you have to come after me with swords and clubs in
the dark of night to arrest me? Do you think I am leading a gang of assassins and
zealots? I am a teacher, and I have been peacefully sitting in the Temple every
day this week in broad daylight telling people about the Kingdom of Yah.
Apparently, no one thought I was a wild bandit then. So who has changed your
mind about me? I will tell you who it was, it was Azazel, the devil, for he always
does his work in the dark, the Prince of the Power of Darkness reigns over you,
and so you do his bidding.”
292
Then they seized him and led him away. All the Apostles fled. A soldier
grabbed one disciple by his robe, but he wiggled out of it, and fled away naked.
221
Rogues
Yahshuah in the House of Ananus , the Ringleader of the
The Temple guards first took him to the house of Ananus , the retired illegal
High Priest; he was the ringleader of the rogues who had appointed his son-inlaw Kayafa as his illegal successor.
222
Peter Denies Knowing Yahshuah Two Times
When the Apostles fled, two of them, Peter and Yahchanan had followed the
mob with Yahshuah. Yahchanan had connections in the High Priest’s house and
easily entered the courtyard. After a while, he spoke to the woman gatekeeper
and arranged for Peter to enter. As Peter came in she asked, “Aren’t you one of
Yahshuah’s followers?
“No, I am not,” he said.
The Temple guards had built a fire in the courtyard and many slaves and
other people were sitting around it warming themselves. Peter came and began
to warm himself. One of the slave girls sitting there recognized him and said,
“There is one of his followers. I saw him one day with Yahshuah.”
Peter denied it saying, “By my oath, I do not even know him miss, you are
mistaken.”
“I am sure I saw him with Yahshuah of Netzeret,” she said, Peter heard a
rooster crow off in the distance.
223
Ananus ’s Guard Strikes Yahshuah
Inside Ananus ’s house, Ananus questioned Yahshuah about the Gospel of
the Kingdom and about his followers. Yahshuah said, “My teachings were never
hidden. I said everything in public in the synagogues and in the Temple. Why do
you question me? Ask the people who heard me speak, they will tell you what I
taught.”
One of the guards struck Yahshuah in the mouth saying, “How dare you talk
to the High Priest like this.”
293
Yahshuah, answered, “You know he has not been the High Priest for many
years, and when he was in office, he was not legally the High Priest, but a
pretender. Therefore if I have said anything evil what was it? And if I broke no
law, then why did you hit me?”
“And the men that held Yahshuah mocked him, and smote him. And when
they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying,
Prophesy, who is it that smote you? And many other things blasphemously
spake they against him”. (Luke 22:63-65)
224
Peter Denies Yahshuah the Third Time
Peter moved away to the porch of Kayafa’s house. One of the high Priest’s
slaves saw him and said. “He is one of them. I saw him in the garden near my
uncle Melekh.”
Peter said, “I swear I do not know him.” The slave said, “Listen to the way he
speaks, he is a Galilean.”
Peter said, “On my oath, may curses fall upon me if I am not telling the truth.”
Immediately he heard a rooster crow the second time and he remembered what
Yahshuah had said.
Meanwhile Ananus had ordered Yahshuah transferred across the courtyard
to the house of Kayafa. Yahshuah came onto the porch and he and Peter looked
at each other. Peter ran from the courtyard and into the city weeping bitterly.
Roosters only crow at dawn, but the Romans soldiers used to blow an
instrument 4 times during the night that sounded like a rooster. It would
now be about midnight.
225
Yahshuah Tells the Rogues He is the Messiah
Mt. 26
When it was morning Kayafa convened an illegal trial the elders of the people
and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their
council, saying,
Are you the Messiah? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, you will not
believe me: And if I also ask you a question, you will not answer me, nor let
me go. (Luk 22:67-68)
Kayafa brought in false witnesses to condemned Yahshuah. The witnesses
however kept contradicting each other. At last, two witnesses came in and said,
“This man said if we tear down the Temple made with hands, in three days he
could build it with his own two hands.”
“With one hand,” one of the witnesses said.
“No with two,” the other said.
294
The two witnesses began to argue and Kayafa said to Yahshuah, “Well what
you say was it with one hand or two?”
Moses wrote in the Scroll of Deuteronomy:
On the evidence of two or three witnesses the death sentence shall be
executed; a person must not be put to death on the evidence of only one witness.
The hands of the witnesses shall be the first raised against the person to execute
the death penalty, and afterwards the hands of all the people. So you shall purge
the evil from your midst. Deut 17:6-7
False witnesses have risen up against me and they breathe out violence. From
the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 27:12
Wicked and deceitful people have opened their mouths against me and have
spoken against me with lying tongues. They surround me with words of hatred
and attack me without a cause. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 109:2
Yahshuah was silent. Kayafa asked,
“Have you nothing to say?” Yahshuah said nothing.”
He was hard pressed and he was letting himself be afflicted; yet he would not
open his mouth. He was brought like just like a sheep to the slaughter; and like
a ewe that before her shearers has become mute, he also would not open his
mouth. Is.53:7
Kayafa stood up and shouted, “I want you to swear by the living Eloah and tell
us whether or not you are the Messiah the son of Yah.”
Yahshuah said, “I am the Messiah, the son of Yah, and furthermore this
mortal man will ascend to heaven, and you will see him seated at the right hand
of Yah riding on the Shokeyn cloud of Glory.”
It is written in the Scroll of Daniel: I kept on looking in the visions of the
night and, see there! with the clouds of the heavens someone like a mortal
happened to be coming ; and to the Ancient of days he gained access, and they
brought him up close even before that One. And to him there was given him, a
rulership and dignity and a kingdom, that all peoples, national groups, and
languages should all serve him. His rulership is an everlasting rulership that
will not pass away, and his kingdom one that will not be brought to ruin.
Dan.7:13
Then Kayafa broke the law and tore his own robe
Subsequently Moses said to Aaron, and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons:
Do not let YOUR heads go ungroomed, and YOU must not tear YOUR garments,
that YOU may not die. Lv.10:6
Then Kayafa screamed, “He has blasphemed. You heard his blasphemy. We
need no more witnesses. He is guilty of death.”
295
It is written: So the abuser of Yah’s name should be put to death without
fail. The entire congregation should without fail pelt him with stones. Lv.24:16
Then everyone, including the slaves, rushed at him and began spitting on him
and hitting him. Someone put a blindfold on him and hit him saying, “Prophesy O
great Adoni and tell us who hit you.”
226
Judas Returns the Thirty Pieces of Silver and Commits Suicide
After they had sent Yahshuah to the dungeon, Judas Ben Shimon of Keriot
came in and said to the chief priests (Gamaliel and Shammai) and senators, “I
have betrayed an innocent man.”
They said, “That is your affair, we had nothing to do with it.” Judas went to the
Temple and hurled the thirty pieces of silver into the treasury. Then he hung
himself in a tree. As he was hanging, the limb broke and he fell to the ground. His
stomach burst open and his entrails spilled out. Therefore, the Jews called it the
haunted place, Aceldama, the Field of Blood.
But you, O God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction; bloody and
deceitful men will not live out half their days; but, I will trust in you. Ps.55:23
227
The Thirty Pieces of Silver Used to Buy a Cemetery for the Poor
When the priests found the coins, the next day they said, “This is blood
money, we cannot put it in the treasury, and so they used it to buy a cemetery for
paupers on the site of an old pottery field and thus was fulfilled the Prophecies.
Cast it into the treasury, the goodly price that I was prized by them. And I
took the thirty pieces of silver and cast them into the treasury, in the house of
Yah...and gave them for the Potter’s field.
-Zech. 13
228 The Rogues Have Their First Meeting With Pilate Asking Him to Execute Yahshuah
Mt. 27
At dawn, the rogue chief priests (Gamaliel and Shammai) , rogue Mosaic Law
Experts, and rogue Senators met and decided to take Yahshuah to the Roman
Prefect, Pilate. They took him to the government headquarters, the Praetorian.
The kings of the earth take their stand and high officials themselves have
massed together as one against Yah and against his anointed one. Ps.2:2
296
If Jews enter a non-Jewish dwelling, they are considered defiled, and
none of these rogues wanted to be defiled, or they would not be able to eat
the coveted Passover meal, so they requested Pilate to come out to them.
Pilate is believed to have come from Scotland, he ruled from 26 to 36 AD.
The Jewish Encyclopedia says,
“His administration was characterized by corruption, violence,
robberies, ill treatment of the people, and continuous executions without
even the form of a trial…Pilate looted “funds from the sacred treasury in
order to provide for the construction of an aqueduct”…when the citizens
protested he sent among the crowds disguised soldiers carrying concealed
daggers, who massacred a great number, not only of the rioters, but of
casual spectators…Pilate's last deed of cruelty, and the one which brought
about his downfall, was the massacre of a number of Samaritans who had
assembled on Mount Gerizim to dig for some sacred vessels.”

ilate
When Pilate saw them with a prisoner, for Yahshuah was bound with a chain,
he asked, “What are the charges?”
They tried to dispense with the charges saying, “If he wasn’t a terrible criminal
we would not have bothered you so early in the morning.”
Pilate said, “Why don’t you try him in your own law court?”
They said, “As you know since you Romans took over, you took away our
right to execute criminals.”
This was to fulfill the prophecy that he would be lifted up and hung in a tree,
for that is how the Romans executed people. (The Jews stoned, burned or
beheaded them).
Here are the charges:

SEDITION

TAX EVASION

IMPERSONATING A KING

IMPERSONATING THE MESSIAH

IMPERSONATING GOD
“This man is a wizard, shaman, warlock, and an insurrectionist. He is stirring
up the people telling them not to pay taxes to Caesar, and claiming to be the
Messiah, the King of the Jews.”
Pilate said to Yahshuah, “What do you have to say about all these charges?”
297
Yahshuah said nothing and Pilate marveled.
229
Yahshuah is Questioned by Pilate
Jn. 18
Pilate ordered Yahshuah to be brought inside to the Judgment Hall, and then
asked him,
“Are you the King of the Jews?”
Yahshuah asked, “Are you truly trying to understand this for yourself? Or are
you only trying to confirm what the illegal chief priests (Gamaliel and Shammai)
said about me?”
Pilate said, “Only a Jew would care about these things, do I look like a Jew?
Your own nation has brought you to me. What did you do?”
Yahshuah said, “My Kingdom is not of this Cosmos. If it were, my followers
would have fought to keep me from being arrested.”
Pilate said, “Ah ha! So you are a King then?”
Yahshuah said, “Yes I am. But my kingship is not to reign over others as
earthly kings reign, but to deliver the truth. Everyone who is on the side of truth
will listen to me.
a good ear will hear wisdom with all desire.
Ecclesiasticus (from the Latin Vulgate): 3:31
Pilate turned his back, and as he walked away, he rhetorically quipped, “What
is the truth?” (It is clear by Pilates reply that he, like most of the elite in
Rome, and followed the philosophy of Skepticism which denies that truth
can be known. They had no patience with those who spoke of truth.)
230
Pilate Tells the Rogues to Take Yahshuah to Antipas
Pilate went out to the priests and senators and said, “He is innocent of any
crimes. We Romans do not kill a man unless he commits a serious crime. It is not
a crime to say you are a king of another Cosmos come to deliver the truth.”
The rogues began to accuse Yahshuah more fiercely saying, “This man has
been preaching rebellion throughout the nation. He began in the Galil region and
now he is here”.
When Pilate detected that Yahshuah was from the Galil region, he said. “King
Antipas is in town for the feast. If this man is a Galilean, take him to Antipas.”
298
231
Yahshuah Before Antipas
Lk. 23
So the angry rogues took Yahshuah to Antipas. Antipas was fearful and
delighted. He feared Yahshuah might be John, the Baptizer, come back from the
dead, and he was delighted for he had heard much about Yahshuah and wanted
to meet him, hoping to be entertained by a miracle. Antipas asked him many
questions, but Yahshuah stood in complete silence. The rogues stood shouting
out the charges against him, but he said not a word.
He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is
brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so
he opened not his mouth. Isa 53:7
It is written in the Scroll of Jeremiah:
But I was like a gentle lamb
led to the slaughter.
And I did not know it was against me
that they devised schemes, saying,
‘Let us destroy the tree with its fruit,
let us cut him off from the land of the living,
so that his name will no longer be remembered!’
From the Dead Sea Scrolls Jerm 11:19
Antipas and his guards began to mock and ridicule him and treat him
despicably. They brought some bright white cloth interwoven with silver specks
that dazzled in the sun. They fashioned a king’s costume for him then sent him
back to Pilate. From that day forward, Antipas and Pilate, who had been
enemies, became fast friends.
232
At Their Second Meeting, Pilate Angers the Rogues by saying He
Plans to Release Yahshuah
Mt. 27
When the rogues met the second time with Pilate, Pilate said, “First you
brought this man accusing him of trying to overthrow your nation and Caesar. I
examined him and found him to be harmless, and I told you it is no crime for a
fool to claim to be a king. Then you took him to Antipas, who as near as I can tell,
did not find any crimes in him either, but sent him back dressed as a king, to
show that he too thinks he is a harmless fool. Under Roman law, being a fool is
not a crime. Therefore, here is what I will do. I will have him scourged, and since
it is the Passover feast, when I usually release a prisoner, I will release him.”
The rogues all cried out at once. “No, execute this Yahshuah and release to
us the other Yahshuah, the son of Abba, (Barabbas). Barabbas was a robber and
299
an Israeli extreme patriot who had been arrested for murder and causing a riot in
Jerusalem.
Pilate said, “But this Yahshuah of the Galil has committed no crime.”
They cried, “Impale him. Impale him!” He has blasphemed against our nation
claiming he is the son of Adonai.”
233
Yahshuah Reveals to Pilate the True Rulers of the Cosmos Jn. 19
Pilate went into the Judgment Hall and his wife came to him saying, “Do not
hurt the Galilean. I just had a terrible dream and I know he is an innocent man.”
Pilate went to Yahshuah and asked, “Where are you from? Are you from another
Comos? What world do you belong to?”
Nevertheless, Yahshuah did not answer. Pilate asked, “Do not you realize I
have the power to release you, or hang you in a tree?”
Yahshuah said, “All your power is derived from the (evil spirits) the archons
who rule this Cosmos, they gave you your power. You are Guilty, but those who
are controlling you have the greater guilt.”
After this, Pilate wanted to release him for he realized the rogues only were
being motivated by jealousy. Meanwhile a crowd outside the Praetorian was
growing. The rogue Senators and chief priests (Gamaliel and Shammai) went
among the crowd turning them against Yahshuah.
There is the cruelty of rage, also the flood of anger, but who can stand before
jealousy? Pv.27:4
234
Pilate Beats Yahshuah Within an Inch of His Life, Then Tries
to Release Him
Mt. 27
Pilate ordered Yahshuah to receive 39 lashes with a cat-o-nine-tails, after
which he re-dressed him in a Roman robe of royalty, the color of deep scarlet
purple. The Roman soldiers braided a crown made from a bramble thornbush,
they put it on his head.
"The trees went to anoint someone to be king over them. They said to the
olive tree, 'Be our king!'
But the olive tree responded, 'Should I stop producing oil, which people use
to honor gods and humans, in order to rule the trees?'
Then the trees said to the fig tree, 'You come and be our king!'
But the fig tree responded, 'Should I stop producing my good, sweet fruit in
order to rule the trees?'
Then the trees said to the grapevine, 'You come and be our king!'
300
But the grapevine responded, 'Should I stop producing my wine, which makes
gods and humans happy, in order to rule the trees?'
Then all the trees said to the thornbush, 'You come and be our king!'
But the thornbush responded to the trees, 'If you really want to anoint me to
be your king, then come and take shelter in my shade. But if not, fire will
come out of the thornbush and burn up the cedars of Lebanon.” (Judges 9:815)
(Editor’s note: Yah’s angel delivered Yah’s message through a burning
thornbush to Moses. Yah speaks to everyone through Yahshuah
another burning thornbush and king. David was an olive tree. He said:
“I am like a leafy-olive tree in the house of Yah.” (Psalm 52:8)
David was, and is, loved and admired just as people love the fruit of the
Olive tree. The Jews were expecting the Messiah to be another David, or
like a fabulous Fig tree, or as intoxicating as the fruit of the vine. But the
Yahshuah comes as lowly as a despised thornbush. His Gospel pricks
us and burns us, convicts us of our sins, stings are sin-sick eyes like a
sudden light in a dark room and in the end will burn up all who reject it.
In the parable of the trees, the hated thornbush who was thought to be
worthless, becomes the king. The thornbush makes a fitting crown for
Yahshuah whose throne would be a cross. His credentials were deemed
worthless. He was not a warrior, he had no army, their were accusations
of fornication regarding his birth. He identified with the Nazarites and
Samaritans, he had no wealth, he didn’t even wash his hands before he
ate, he had not studied with the scholars, He never acknowledged that
he was from Bethlehem (the town of the Messiah) he only acknowledged
the worthless village of Nazareth, in the worthless “Circle of the
Gentiles”; the Galil. He renounced being a descendant of David, or of
Judah. He even renounced being from Abraham. He did not restore
Judaism, or the kingship as the Messiah was expected to do. In fact just
the opposite, he announced the destruction of the temple and the nation
and spoke against organized religions and governments depicting them
as being the work of Azazel. He renounced the theory of Atonement ,
and renounced the entire sacrificial system on which Judaism was built.
By all human standards he was a thornbush, and yet, he sits beside Yah
in heaven ruling as Yah’s viceroy until the end of the age. The
thornbush became the king.
Substitutionary Atonement by the Man Who was not a Man
Most tradional preachers say that Adam’ sin was so wicked that only
God himself could atone for it. These same preachers teach that since God
is immortal and cannot die, that only the human side of Yahshuah died on
the cross. They make Yahshuah a hybrid. But if only deity could pay the
debt for Adam’s sin and deity did not die, how is there an atonement?
301
Since God is immortal and Yahshuah died, Yahshuah cannot be God. Since
God cannot suffer or be tempted, traditional Christians end up with a
Messiah who was a hybrid God/man or rather a man who was a man
without being a man, was tempted without being tempted and suffered
without suffering and died without dying. This was the Gnostic teaching of
the early Docetists. They said since God is a pure spirit and flesh is
corrupt, God only appeared to be a man, and only appeared to die on the
cross.
Prior to Yahshuah the view of Yah was a muddled mess and after
Yahshuah, the so called Christian leaders made it a muddle mess again.
Despite Yahshuah’s command to call no one Father there appeared on the
scene a group of writers called “the church fathers” who failed to transmit
the true Gospel, “rather their philosophizing led to blind alleys of paradox,
illogicality an docetism” (Frances Young, The Myth of God Incarnate, p.14,
London, SCM Press, 1977, Ed. John Hick).
“John’s Gospel was taken over by the gnosticizers.” (“Dunn on John,”
Theology 85 (Sept. 1982), 235.)
At the Council of Nicea (325 AD) where Yahshuah was declared to be
God, “not only did Constantine excommunicate and exile anyone who did
not conform, he took the caution of burning any letters of complaint or
dispute…Christianity indeed bartered for another God (Ps.16.4 NASV). It
was to its shame and sorrow that it traded in the historical man, Jesus
Messiah. …in his stead it elevated the God-man. Greek mythology
triumphed over Hebrew theology. Thus Christianity sold it’s
birthright…Christianity closed its eyes to biblical reality.” (Buzzard & Hunt
1998)
Trinitarianism succeeded by coercion, torture and killing all those who
disagreed with it.
The Gospel writer John stressed that Yahshuah came “en sarki” as a
human, not “in” a human. He was not God in a skin suit. The Messiah was a
man, the temple that the logos, Angel of Yah, indwelt.
When you start reading the Gospels through Yahshuah’s eyes only, you
will see that the true Yahshuah is like a treasure buried in a field, actually
buried beneath the garbage dump of Greek Philosophy corrupt church
councils, Mediterranean mystery cults and pagan mythologies.(end of
Editor’s note).
They mocked him and beat the thorns into his head. Then Pilate came out to
the crowd with the bleeding and battered Yahshuah on his right and the other
Yahshuah, Barabbas (son of the father), on his left. He spoke to the crowd,
302
“As you know I am a merciful man, and every year at the Feast of the
Passover I release to you a prisoner. So which shall I release to you Yahshuah
the son of Abba? Or Yahshuah the one called the Messiah, the king of the
Jews?”
One of the rogues yelled, “We have no king but Caesar” (remember Caesar
was considered a pagan god). Another yelled, “Give us the Yahshuah the son
of the father on your on your left.. Give us Barabbas.” The Senators began
whipping up the crowd crying, “Give us Barabbas, give us Barabbas!”
Barabbas was a zealous patriot trying to throw off an occupying army.
He loved his country. Each of us has to decide which Yahshuah we will
follow. Will you follow Yahshuah, the patriot, who asks you to sacrifice
your life for your country, or the Yahshuah who tells you your country is
ruled by Azazel, and your true country is not of this world.
Pilate shouted, “But what shall I do with your king?”
“Crucify him!” they cried, “Impale him! Hang him in a tree!”
Pilate knew that the rogues were jealous of Yahshuah, and so he shouted,
“Do you want me to crucify your king? But he has done nothing wrong.”
One of the rogues screamed, “This man is trying to make himself a king. He is
setting himself up against Caesar and you are siding with him against Caesar.”
Pilate saw that he was losing, and that the crowd was on the verge of a riot,
so he had a servant bring a bowl of water and he washed his hands and said, “I
am innocent of this just man’s blood. I will have my soldiers do as you wish.”
The Ethiopian Church thousand years ago saw Pilate as a sympathetic
person and they canonized him as a saint. I see him as a weak, cowardly
man who was trying to avoid a riot and gave in to the demands of the mob.
To wash your hands and then give the execution order, is one of the most
hypocritical acts in the Gospel.
The rogues among the crowd shouted,” let his blood be upon us and upon our
children.”
Keep in mind that those saying this were primarily Edomites. Wicked
false Christians have used this verse to torture and kill Jews down through
the Centuries, saying the Jews killed Yahshuah, or even worse, those who
teach Yahshuah is God say, “the Jews killed God”. Yahshuah would not
sanction the killing of anyone; especially not his own people. Satan using
the majority of the Edomites, a handful of rogue Jews and some ignorant,
barbarian, Romans killed Yahshuah.

The Soldiers Mock and Beat Yahshuah
Jn. 19
303
The Roman soldiers released Barabbas, and took Yahshuah inside, the
guardroom, They placed a reed in his hand like a scepter. They began to spit on
him and mock him. The bent their knees and said “Hail king of the Jews, Shalom
and long life to you. Good health.” They punched him and beat him with clubs,
they smote him with the reed and beat on the thorn crown with the reed driving
the thorns deeper into his skull. Then they stripped him of the purple/scarlet
Roman robe and put on the dazzling costume that Antipas had made. It was
Tuesday, high noon. They put the reed again in his hand and pushed him out the
door.
They shall smite the judge (elohim) of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
Micah 5:1
See, my servant shall prosper; he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be
very high. Just as there were many who were astonished at him —so marred
was his appearance, beyond human semblance, and his form beyond that of
mortals— so he shall startle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths
because of him; for that which had not been told them they shall see, and that
which they had not heard they shall contemplate. Is 52:13
236 Shimon of Cyrene Forced to Carry Yahshuah’s Execution Crossbeam
Lk. 22
As they came out, the Roman soldiers grabbed a Libyan (from Cyrene in
North Africa) named Shimon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, and forced him
to carry Yahshuah’s execution stake (crossbeam) for he was all ready staggering
from the beating and was clearly too weak to carry it.
237 Yahshuah Warns the Women of Yerushalayim of the Coming Destruction of the City
Lk. 23
The crowd was following them and some women were weeping and
lamenting for him. He said to them,
“Daughters of Yerushalayim do not weep for me. You will need your tears in
the days to come for yourselves and for your children. Such ruthless Roman
soldiers are coming that those who are childless will be glad. Those who never
conceived will not have the pain of seeing their children slaughtered. The citizens
of Yerushalayim will cry for the mountains to fall on them and the hills to cover
them before the Roman barbarians break through the walls. If they do such
horrible things to me, who has been to them like a green life-bearing fruit tree,
healing their sick ones, what will they do to the rest of you, who have hated them,
and offered them dead branches?”
But as for me I am like a green olive tree in Yah’s house. From the Dead Sea
Scrolls Psalm 52: 9
As Moses prophesied in the Scroll of Deuteronomy:
304
Yah said to Moses, ‘Your time to die is near; call Joshua and present yourselves
in the tent of meeting, so that I may commission him.’ So Moses and Joshua
went and presented themselves in the tent of meeting, and Yah appeared at the
tent in a pillar of cloud; the pillar of cloud stood at the entrance to the tent.
Yah said to Moses, ‘Soon you will lie down with your ancestors. Then this
people will begin to prostitute themselves to the foreign gods in their midst, the
gods of the land into which they are going; they will forsake me, breaking my
covenant that I have made with them. My anger will be kindled against them on
that day. I will forsake them and hide my face from them; they will become easy
prey, and many terrible troubles will come upon them. On that day they will
say, “Have not these troubles come upon us because our God is not in our
midst?” On that day I will surely hide my face on account of all the evil they
have done by turning to other gods. Deut 31:14-18
For a fire is kindled in mine anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell (Land of
Death), and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the
foundations of the mountains.
I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend mine arrows upon them.
They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with
bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison
of serpents of the dust.
The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and
the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs…
For they (Israel) are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any
understanding in them.
O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider
their latter end...
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their
grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps...
To me belongs vengeance, and recompence; their foot shall slide in due time:
for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon
them make haste. Deut 32:22-35
43 He will avenge the blood of his sons and will render vengeance to his
enemies, and will recompense those who hate him.
He was prophesying of the Romans who would come in 70 A.D. and
destroy the city. And they did.
305
238 Yahshuah and Two Thieves Are Nailed and Hung in a Low Tree
The soldiers led two ,non-Roman, evil, slaves guilty of theft to the Mount of
Olives with him, and when they came to the killing grounds, called the Place of
the Skull (Mekom HaGulgolet which is called in Aramaic Gulgolta), they nailed
them to crossbeams and hoisted all three into a low tree. One evil slave was on
his right and the other was on his left.
Titus on His right and Dumachus on His left Arabic Gospel of the
Infancy
http://www.traditionalcatholic.net/Scripture/Encyclopedia/Apocrypha.html
Some have argued that the thieves were insurrectionists as Romans did
not crucify thieves. But according to Roman Law, non-Roman slaves who
stole were crucified;
“The punishments, attending to the Law of the XII tables (V century B.C.),
were really cruel. The Romans used beheading, flogging till death, hanging,
drowning, cutting off the limbs, the stake; the vestals guilty of infidelity
were buried alive, because shedding their blood wasn't permitted, and their
seducer was beaten till death; public enemies, slaves who had stolen
something from the master, culprits of false witness were thrown by the
Tarpeia cliff; for the slaves, and for those peoples who were not Roman
citizens, there was crucifixion, a penalty particularly long and painful.”
http://library.thinkquest.org/23685/data/romans.html
Josephus describes multiple tortures and positions of crucifixion
during the siege of Yerushalayim as Titus crucified the rebels; and Seneca
the Younger recounts: "I see crosses there, not just of one kind but made
in many different ways: some have their victims with head down to the
ground; some impale their private parts; others stretch out their arms on
the gibbet."
At times the gibbet was only one vertical stake, called in Latin crux
simplex or palus. This was the simplest available construction for torturing
and killing the criminals. Frequently, however, there was a cross-piece
attached either at the top to give the shape of a T (crux commissa) or just
below the top, as in the form most familiar in Christian symbolism (crux
immissa). Other forms were in the shape of the letters X and Y.
The earliest writings that speak specifically of the shape of the cross on
which Jesus died describe it as shaped like the letter T (the Greek letter
tau), or composed of an upright and a transverse beam, together with a
small peg in the upright.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crucifixion
306
Since the apostles say he was hung in a tree, I picture Yahshuah nailed to
crossbeam (the torture stake) and hoisted into a tree.
The cross was an ancient symbol of the Bull cult and Constantine used it
as a symbol for his Roman troops when he conquered Rome. He called
himself Pontifice Maximus which was the title for the High Priests of
Mithraism. When he declared Christianity the official religion of the Roman
Empire, it was Mithraized Christianity, and not true Christianity. Prior to
Constantine all Christians were pacifists. After Constantine, only Christians
could serve in the Roman army. The coup was complete. Mithra won. Only
small handfuls of Christians remained faithful to the Gospel; just as it is
today.
Moses wrote: a body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt
surely bury him the same day; for he that is hanged is a reproach unto Yah; that
thou defile not thy land which Yah thy Eloah gave you for an inheritance. Deut
21:23
Pilate wrote the charge on a placard and the soldiers fastened it in the tree. It
was in Hebrew, Greek and Latin and read. YAHSHUAH OF NETZERET KING
OF THE JEWS. (Hebrew: Yahshuah Netzerim Melek Yehudi) (Greek:
ÊSOUS O NAZÔAIOS O BASILEUS TÔN IOUDLIÔN) (Latin: Iesus Nazareth
Rex Iudaeorum) –INRI
The Romans had a fertility cult called the Brothers of the Wolf and they
may have had a role in the Crucifixion as their main ritual, Lupercali, took
place in the Spring .
Eze 22:27 Her princes in the midst thereof are like wolves ravening the prey,
to shed blood
Zep 3:3 Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening
wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow.
In Yahshuah’s day, they sacrificed two goats and a dog . In earlier days
they sacrificed humans. The victim’s skins were flayed and they made
thongs of them. They would then run wildly down a processional road
whipping people; especially girls and women who lined up beside the road.
Even today the practice of whipping people on Easter Monday is practiced
by some Christians. I personally saw such an event in the mountains of
Peru in 1967.
239
The Rogues Ask Pilate to Rewrite the Placard
When the rogue priests learned of the charge, they went to Pilate and
demanded he re-write it to say, HE CLAIMED TO BE THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Pilate dismissed them saying, “What I have written, I have written.”
307
240
The Mocking at the Killing Ground
The soldiers at the killing grounds divided Yahshuah’s blood stained tunic four
ways, but for the dazzling king’s costume, they cast dice for it, thus fulfilling the
prophecy,
They divided my garment among them and cast lots for my cloak (Psalm
22:18)
Like Jesters at a feast they gnashed their teeth at me. From the Dead Sea
Scrolls Psalm 35:16
There was always a crowd at the killing grounds. Today they pressed up to
the tree where Yahshuah and the two others hung and reviled him and made
contorted faces saying, “Look there is the Messiah. Behold Adonai’s chosen one.
Ha! He came to save us!”
The rogue Edomite Chief priests (Gamaliel and Shammai) , the rogue lawyers
among the Mosaic Law Experts and the rogues from the Edomite Senate also
came and mocked him saying, “He saved others, but he cannot save himself. If
you are Yah’s Messiah, the King of Israel perform a miracle, come down from
that tree now and we will believe you.
A wicked and adulterous (prostituting) generation keeps on seeking for a
sign, but no sign will be given it. Mt.16:4
If you are Adonai’s son why doesn’t he save you?”
The cruel Roman soldiers also mocked him pretending to offer him some
wine on a sponge saying, “If you are the King of the Jews save yourself.”
And to them I myself have become also something reproachable. They see me
- they begin wagging their head. Ps.109:25
Is 57: 3 But as for you, come here,
you children of a sorceress,
you offspring of an adulterer and a whore.
4 Whom are you mocking?
Against whom do you open your mouth wide
and stick out your tongue?
Are you not children of transgression,
the offspring of deceit—
5 you that burn with lust among the oaks,
under every green tree;
you that slaughter your children in the valleys,
308
under the clefts of the rocks?
6 Among the smooth stones of the valley is your portion;
they, they, are your lot;
to them you have poured out a drink-offering,
you have brought a grain-offering.
Shall I be appeased for these things?
7 Upon a high and lofty mountain
you have set your bed,
and there you went up to offer sacrifice.
8 Behind the door and the doorpost
you have set up your symbol;
for, in deserting me, you have uncovered your bed,
you have gone up to it,
you have made it wide;
and you have made a bargain for yourself with them,
you have loved their bed,
you have gazed on their nakedness.
9 You journeyed to Molech with oil,
and multiplied your perfumes;
you sent your envoys far away,
and sent down even to Sheol (the Land of Death).
As for all those seeing me, they hold me in derision; they keep opening their
mouths wide. Ps.22:7
Many are saying of my soul: There is no salvation for him by Yah. Ps.3:2
Many bulls have encompassed me; strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
(Ps.22:12)
(Editor’s note: Bashan was in Samaria where the Bull cult reemerged in the
days of Jeroboam.
Bull worship was ubiquitous and comes from the Queen of Heaven cult, the
oldest cult on the earth. The English poet, Robert Graves, devoted his life to
the study of the Queen of Heaven, or The White Goddess (identified with
the moon). He says Yahshuah’s entire life was a battle against the White
Goddess. Moses fought the bull cult at Sinai. The prophets continually railed
against the people for worshipping The Queen of Heaven. Even the male
religions were manifestations of the queen for she could appear as a male.
Krishna is a male form of the goddess Durga, just as Dionysius, the God of
wine, is a manifestation of Adrianne. Mithra is the male form of Cybele and
tracing his roots back to Babylon (Ishtar) and Persia (Anahita) and India
(Durga) will reveal Mithra to be the Mother Goddess.
Yahshuah fought the bull cult in the temple, for Yah was being worshipped
as a bull, and all the sacrifices were bull-centered. Yahshuah also fought the
309
bull cult among the Romans –Mithraism. Mithraism was the most popular
religion among the Roman soldiers, but did not reach the Roman populace
until about 100 years after Yahshuah. You can see how the Roman soldiers
mingled their misconceptions of Christianity with Mithraism. Mithra was a
sun god whose birthday was Dec.25th. Originally Mithra was born from a
rock with a knife in his hand and fought the sun and then the Primeval Bull.
Plants and animals sprang from the blood of the bull. Mithra was the patron
of soldiers and no women were allowed to join. By the Time the Roman
soldiers popularized it in Rome, in the second and third centuries, they
said Mithra was born of a virgin (called “the mother of God”), had 12
followers, was crucified and resurrected, and watches over his followers
from heaven where he is a member of a Trinity. Sunday is his sacred day. An
ancient bas-relief shows loaves of bread with crosses on them.
The Mithraites baptized initiates with the blood of a bull. They stood
beneath a grate. Above them a bull was castrated, then killed with a scared
spear. The warm blood of the bull poured down upon them into their eyes
and mouths. The blood washed away their sins, gave them eternal life, and
they were thus “reborn” and became the bride of Mithra. Unlike the Mother
goddess rites which were orgiastic, the Mithraites encouraged celibacy and
asceticism. Mithra however was only a manifestation of the moon goddess
Cybele. In the Cybele moon cult, the male priests practiced self-castration
and dressed in black. Temple prostitution with these eunuchs and
necrophilia were the marks of her religion. Her priests were called the
“dogs of Enariea”.
“Dogs have encircled me.” (Psalm 22:16)
The Resurrected God
In the goddess cults they all had a dying male god, a son/lover: Attis his
symbol is the evergreen pine tree), Adonis, Tammuz (a shepherd), Baal and
Osiris, Dionysius (all lost their penises). They were hung in tress, died and
then resurrected, but that in no way means that the true Gospel was based
on any of them. The other writings attached to the Gospels teaches this, but
you will not find this in the red letter words of Yahshuah. Since Azazel
(Satan) is as old as the world, he had plenty of time to create religions that
he suspected may tie into heavenly themes, in an attempt to preempt and
discredit the coming Messiah. He also had three centuries after Yahshuah to
inspire New Testament writers to tie Yahshuah to the pagan cults. After all it
was Azazel who fathered ritual sacrifices, as Yahshuah said Yah never had
anything to do with it.
Jer. 7:22-23 For in the day that I brought your ancestors out of the land of Egypt,
I did not speak to them or command them concerning burnt offerings and
sacrifices.
Theophagy: God, or Goddess, Eating
“One of the key features of Mithraism was a sacrificial meal, which
involved eating the flesh and drinking the blood of a bull. Mithras, the god
of Mithraism, was “present” in the flesh and blood of the bull, and when
310
consumed, granted salvation to those who partook of the sacrificial meal.”
http://www.gotquestions.org/origin-Catholic-church.html
“eating the flesh and blood of a god who had died became a dominating
obsession in the ancient world. Although the cult of Osiris forbade
cannibalism, it did not outlaw dismemberment and eating of enemies, and
practiced the ritual rending and eating of the sacred bull, symbolizing
Osiris.” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osiris
I was raised Catholic and was told I was eating the actual flesh of Jesus
(cannibalism) and drinking the actual blood of Jesus which would give me
immortality (Vampirism). When I traveled through Protestantism they said
the Eucharist was symbolical, but why would you want to participate in
symbolical cannibalism and symbolical vampirism? Yahshuah spoke of
eating and drinking wisdom (for those who have eyes to see and ears to
here).
Intoxicants
The cults all used hallucinogenic intoxicants like Amanita Muscaria
(magic mushrooms), Marijuana, Hashish, Opium, Ayahuasca, Beer, and
Wine (Dionysius was a hybrid man/god. He had a mortal mother and a
divine father (Zeus). Dionysius was the “God of Wine”). We now know that
when mould forms on barley, it creates a kind of lysergic acid like LSD.
The Queen of Heaven
"Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the
streets of Jerusalem? The children gather wood, and the fathers
kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to
the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods,
that they may provoke me to anger." Jeremiah 7:17–18
At the goddess rituals the eunuch priests dressed as women made a wild
procession carrying a pine trees wrapped in violet ribbons, they flagellated
and cut themselves, drank wine, pig's blood and human blood. The initiates
would castrate themselves (testicles and penises), others would engage in
orgies, child sacrifice and ritual cannibalism. The White Goddess is also
known as “the Black Virgin” (not because she is of African descent but
because she rules over the kingdom of darkness). Cybele’s statue was
made of black stone. She had the all-seeing eye (the 3rd eye) and carried a
green cross. Her plant was the Qaneh (marijuna-hashish). Her gem was the
topaz- diamond. She wore a crescent moon in her hair. Her symbols are
lions, oak trees, ravens, screech owls, elephants, monkeys, horses,
donkeys, mules, roosters, goats, mice, rats, wolves, (most of them are in
the Chinese Zodiac). Her main symbols are The Golden Eagle, the ant, The
white sow, the white leopard, the bear and the white bull.
311
The Pomegranate was her fruit. She is often pictured as a palm tree with
snakes entwining it. Solomon who sacrificed hundreds of virgins,
decorated his temple with 400 pomegranates. She was known as "the
Queen of Heaven". Her names were Astarte, Gaea, Proserpine, Anat,
Ashera, and “the Lady of the Sea”. In Greece she was Athena, or
Demeter/Persephone, in Rome Juno. In Egypt she was called Isis. In
Babylon her name was Ishtar. In China Kuan Yin. She was the goddess of
war and prosperity. In India she is called Durga, or Kali (the Spider
Woman). In Japan she goes by Amatserasu, or Tara.
Mithraism and Christianity were the two main rival religions of the early
Roman Empire. However, all non-Christian religions were brutally
destroyed under the Roman Emperor Theodosius I in the 4th Century, but
you can see traces of it still lives on in false Christianity: for example belief
in an immortal soul, salvation by blood, Trinity, sacred wine, celibate
sodomite priests, the Virgin Mother of God, believers seen as brides of the
diety, who is a hybrid man/god, December 25th, and eating the body and
drinking the blood of the god. There is a definite link between Santa Claus
and Mithra (note the cap).
The Saturnalia
The oldest temple found in Rome was the Temple of Saturn (Cronus in
Greece, Marduk in Babylon, Baal in Canaan). The seventh day was named
after him - Saturday. When the sun entered the sign of Capricorn, a yearly
feast, the Saturnalia, culminating near the solstice, took place. Saturnalia
was celebrated wherever there were Roman soldiers. It was known for
licentious orgies, and gift giving, naked singing and slaves making fun of
their owners wearing their master’s clothes, cross-dressing and
masquerades, vulgar merriment of all kinds prevailed. A mock king -- the
Lord of Misrule – was king for 30 days after which his throat was cut at the
altar of Saturn. Everyone wore the red cap of Santa (Mithra) who is shown
as father time carrying a sickle, and a sack of presents. At the dark end of
the year, the Romans believed that demons came upon the earth to punish
slave owners who mistreated their slaves and so the masters switched
clothes with the slaves, and even had the slaves mistreat them in public to
fool the demons. This is the feast of the sacred king, the solar hero, the
boy king who dies in the place of the ruling king. We can easily see how the
Mithraic Christians have incorporated many of these elements into their
false Christianity.
The strong bulls still surround the Messiah. (end of Editor’s note)
Rebuke the company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of
the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the
people that delight in war. Psa 68:30
312
For Yah hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
And the wild-oxen shall fall down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls;
and their land shall be drunken with blood.” (Is.34:6-7)
Slay all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: woe unto them! for their
day is come, the time of their visitation. (Jer 50:27)
One reason I am a “red letters only” Christian is because the other
ancient writings that have become attached to the Gospels almost all teach
that God was an angry wrathful God who needed to be placated by human
sacrifice and teach that Yahshuah was the Goat of the Atonement, or the
Passover lamb. The writer of the Book of Hebrews even makes Yahshuah a
bull.
For the bodies of those beasts, whose blood is brought into the sanctuary by
the high priest for sin, are burned without the camp. Wherefore Jesus also,
that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the
gate. Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his
reproach.. (Heb 13:11-14)
The only sacrificial animal burned outside the camp was the bullock
(See Leviticus 4:11 and Exodus 29:13) How can Yahshuah be a bullock
when the Bull was the sacred image of Baal and Moloch? Yah said:
I delight not in the blood of bullocks (Is.1:11)
Back to Yahshuah Hanging from the Cross
He committed himself to Yah. Let Yah provide him with escape! Let Yah deliver
him, since he has taken delight in him. Ps.22:8
With murder against my bones, those showing hostility to me have reproached
me, while they say to me all day long: Where is your Eloah? Ps.42:10
Let us beset the just one, because he is obnoxious to us; he sets himself against
our doings, Reproaches us for transgressions of the law and charges us with
violations of our training. He professes to have knowledge of Yah and styles
himself a child Yah. To us he is the censure of our thoughts; merely to see him is
a hardship for us, Because his life is not like other men's, and different are his
ways. He judges us debased; he holds aloof from our paths as from things
impure. He calls blest the destiny of the just and boasts that Yah is his Father.
Let us see whether his words be true; let us find out what will happen to him.
For if the just one be the son of Yah, Yah will defend him and deliver him from
the hand of his foes. With revilement and torture let us put him to the test that
we may have proof his gentleness and try his patience. Let us condemn him to a
shameful death; for according to his own words, Yah will take care of him."
These were their thoughts. Wisdom 2:12
313
241
The Two Thieves Both Mock Yahshuah
Mt. 27
The two thieves crucified beside him
Therefore will I give him a reward among the great, and he shall divide the
spoil with the mighty; because he did not shrink back from death, and was
numbered with the transgressors. Is 53:12
The thieves also mocked him. One said, “Hey Messiah after you have saved
yourself, come back and save us.” The other went along with the mockery and
said in a sarcastic voice to the first robber, “Have you no fear of Adonai? Show a
little respect. We are criminals and deserve to die, but this one is innocent. Adoni
when you enter your Daddy’s paradise do not forget your two hanging buddies?”
And they that were crucified with him reviled him. Mark:15: 3
The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth,
Mt.27: 44
Yahshuah replied, “This is as close as you will get to paradise today, hanging
here with me now.”
I have been poured out like water and all my bones are out of joint. My heart has
turned to wax, it has melted away in my breast. From the Dead Sea Scrolls
Psalm 22:14
For the enemy persecutes me. He has dashed my life to the ground. He has made
me sit in darkness like those once long dead. Therefore my spirit faints within
me and my heart within me is dismayed. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 143:3
242
Yahshuah Provides for the Care of His Mother
Then Yahshuah saw his mother, Mary, coming with some other women, his
aunt Miriam (the wife of Kleopas) and Mary from Magdala, and his beloved
disciple.
When he saw his mother’s grief, he said to his beloved disciple, “Take care
of my mother. She is now your mother.
Then he said to his mother, “Behold your son” (indicating the disciple). The
disciple later took her to his home and cared for her.
243
Was it a Cry of Despair?
It was noon but the sun went dark, and a thick darkness came over the land.
It was as black as midnight for three hours.
314
And it must occur in that day, is the utterance of Yah almighty, that I will
make the sun to go down at high noon, and I will cause darkness for the land on
a bright day. Am.8:9
Yahshuah began to recite Psalm twenty-two with a strong voice,
“My Eloah, my Eloah why have you forsaken me?”
“My Father and my Eloah do not abandon me to the hands of the non-Jews.
You have no need of any nation or people to help you. Your finger is greater and
more powerful than anything in the world. For you opt for the truth. In your
hands there is no violence whatsoever. Your mercies are many and your loving
kindness is great for all who seek you.” From the Dead Sea Scrolls fragment 1
cave 4 Q371:1-2 Joseph Apocryphon.
Yah has forsaken me, my Eloah has forgotten me. Can a woman forget her
nursing-child, or show no compassion for the child of her womb? Yes Even these
may forget, yet I will not forget you. See, I have inscribed you on the palms of
my hands. Is 49:14
I will quickly bring my victory near. My salvation will go forth. His arm (his
angel) will judge the peoples, the coastlands will wait for him and in his arm
they will hope…my victory will not fail…Awake ! Awake! Be clothed with
strength arm (angel) of Yah. Awake as in the days of old ancient times. From the
Dead Sea Scrolls Isaiah 51:5 & 9
The Psalm Yahshuah began to recite, begins in despair, but ends on a
note of victory as the Psalmist declares that Yah did not abandon him, but
heard his cry.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd and my tongue melts in my mouth
they have placed me as the dust of death. Dogs are all around me; a gang of evil
doers encircles me. They have pierced my hands and my feet. From the Dead
Sea Scrolls version of Psalm 22:16
(editor’s note: The later Jewish translations have changed pierced my
hands and feet to “like a lion”, but this fragment from the Dead Sea caves
predates the change by a thousand years and therefore is the correct
reading).
Save me Yah for the waters have come up to my neck. I have sunk between the
abyss there is no foothold. I have come into deep waters, a flowing stream
engulfs me. I am weary with crying; my throat is parched. My teeth are
consumed in anguish for the Eloah of Israel. Many more than the hairs on my
head are those who hate me without cause; many are those who would
annihilate me who are wrongfully my enemies. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm
69:3
315
For my soul is full of troubles and my life is drawing near to the Land of
Death. I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a person
without strength. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 88:3
insolent people are attacking me; a gang of ruthless men seeks my life –men
who have no regard for you. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 86:14
Many bulls encircle me, strong bulls of Bashan surround me; they open wide
their mouths at me, like a ravening and roaring lion. From the Dead Sea Scrolls
Psalm 22:12
Princes persecuted me without cause, but my heart stands in awe of your
word. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 119:162
Deliver me Oh Yah from evildoers, protect me from violent people who devise
evil plans in their hearts and stir up wars all day long. They make their tongues
sharp as serpents and a spider’s poison is beneath their lips. Guard me Oh Yah
from the hands of the wicked, protect me from violent people who have planned
to trip up my footsteps. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 140: 1
22:25 For Yah has not spurned or disdained the misery of this poor wretch,
Did not turn away from me, but heard me when I cried out…
Wicked people plowed over my back; they made their furrows long. Yah is
righteous he has cut the cords of the wicked. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm
129:3
Psalm 22 tells of the Resurrection of the all the dead
All who sleep in the earth will bow low before Yah; All who have gone down
into the dust will kneel in homage. Psalm 22:30
For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he will stand at the latter
[day] upon the earth And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], yet
in my flesh shall I see Yah: Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall
behold, and not another. Job 19: 5 25
It is written in the Scroll of Daniel: thy people shall be delivered, every one
that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust
of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and]
everlasting contempt. Daniel 12:1
The hand of Yah’s (angel) was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of
Yah Eloah Tsebaoth, and set me down in the midst of the valley which [was] full
of bones, And caused me to pass by them around: and behold, [there were] very
many in the open valley; and lo, [they were] very dry. And he said to me,
Mortal, can these bones live? and I answered, O Yah my Eloah, thou knowest.
Again he said to me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say to them, O ye dry
bones, hear the word of Yah. Thus saith Yah your Eloah to these bones; Behold, I
will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live: And I will lay sinews upon
316
you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath
in you, and ye shall live; (again). Ezekiel 37: 1
But your dead will live, their dead bodies will rise. The dwellers in the dust will
awake and shout for joy. For your dew is like the dew of the dawn, and the earth
will give birth to the dead. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Isaiah 26:19
One of the Roman soldiers mistakenly said, “Listen he is calling for Elijah.”
Another ran and dipped a sponge in the vinegar mixed with opium (used to help
the condemned endure the pain). He fastened the sponge to a spear and lifted it
up to Yahshuah. When Yahshuah tasted, it he rejected it. The soldier tried to
offer it again, when the commanding officer said, “Wait, let’s see if Elijah will
come and rescue him.”
244
How to Treat Enemies on Your Death Bed
A couple hours later, Yahshuah said, “Father forgive them, for they are
unaware of how they are being used.”
They were being used by Azazel who was tempting him to sin by setting
him up to look like a Passover sacrifice to Yah. Azazel murdered him. Yah
did not sacrifice his son and Yahshuah did not offer his life as a sacrifice to
either the Father or Azazel. He surrendered himself as a living ransom
payment, knowing that Azazel would undoubtedly try to make him sin and
if he could hold out long enough, Azazel would go too far and kill him. But
once Azazel killed a sinless man, his power over humanity would be
broken. He walked into Yahshuah’s trap. The Curse of Deut 27:25 fell on
Azazel. “He who takes a payment and kills an innocent man is cursed.”
245
The Victory Cry
After a long silence, he said, “I am thirsty.” The soldier offered him some sour
(non-opiated) wine to drink from a sponge attached to a reed, and he sipped
some. Then after another long silence, he gave the gladiator’s loud cry of victory.
“It is finished. I have won!” (I did not give in to temptation. I did not sin.)
With his voice growing stronger, he said,
“Father into your hands, I return my breath”. Then he breathed his last breath.
Many times they have attacked me from my youth, yet they have not gained
the victory over me. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 129:2
On that day his (Azazel’s) burden will be removed from your shoulder and
his yoke from your neck and the yoke will be broken. From the Dead Sea Scrolls
Isaiah 10:27
317
I cried, “ Oh Yah” and he answered me and he healed my broken heart. I
slumbered and slept. I dreamed. Indeed I awoke. Yah, you supported me. I
invoked Yah my deliverer. I have trusted in you and I will not be ashamed, but I
will behold their shame. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 141:17
Yahshuah had said he would not drink of the fruit of the vine until he
drank it in the kingdom. So, at the moment he took the sip of the vinegar
wine, his kingdom arrived. The stake was his throne. He was wearing his
crown, Satan was defeated. Yahshuah’s reign like a mustard seed had
begun.
It was nearing sundown Tuesday, when the typical Jewish family was killing
its Passover lamb. The new day, Wednesday, the Jewish Passover, a yearly
Sabbath would begin at sundown.
246
The Veil of the Temple Tears From the Top Down
Mrk. 15
When Yahshuah died, the first veil of the Temple, colored red, white, and blue
and purple, ripped from the top to the bottom.
so He shall not bear with Jerusalem because of your wickedness; but the veil
of the temple shall be rent, so as not to cover your shame. And ye shall be
scattered as captives among the Gentiles, and shall be for a reproach and for a
curse there. (From the Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs Levi 10:3-5)
The Roman soldiers were ordered to finish off the victims for the Jews would
not allow any victims to remain hanging in a tree over night for the Law said it
would bring a curse on the land.
Moses wrote: a dead body should not stay all night in the tree. De.21:23
So the soldiers broke the legs of the two robbers, which caused them to die
instantly, but when they came to Yahshuah, perceiving that he was already dead,
one stuck a spear into his side thrusting it upwards into his heart and out flowed
an inordinate amount of blood and water. Thus was fulfilled the prophecies:
He keeps all his bones, not one of them is broken. From the Dead Sea Scrolls
Psalm 34:20and
They shall look to me whom they have pierced. From the Dead Sea Scrolls
Zechariah 12:10
247
The Mount of Olives Splits Open and Some Dead Come Out of
their Graves
318
Suddenly the earth quaked, the Mount of Olives split open, and people began
running through the darkness to their homes.
For the windows above are opened and the foundations of the earth quake.
The earth is utterly broken, the earth is torn asunder. The earth is violently
shaken. The earth staggers like a drunkard, it sways to and fro like a hut. From
the Dead Sea Scrolls Is 24:19
It is written: The mountains quake before him and the hills melt away. The
earth trembles at his presence, the world and all who live in it. Who can
withstand his indignation? Who can endure his fierce anger? His wrath is poured
out like fire; the rocks are shattered before him. Nahum 1:5-6
The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of perdition assailed me; the
cords of Sheol (the Land of Death) entangled me; the snares of death confronted
me. In my distress I called upon Yah; to my Eloah I cried for help. From his
temple he heard my voice, and my cry to him reached his ears. Then the earth
reeled and rocked the foundations also of the mountains trembled and quaked,
because he was angry. Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from
his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him. He bowed the heavens, and
came down; thick darkness was under his feet. He rode on a cherub (angel), and
flew; he came swiftly upon the wings of the wind. He made darkness his covering
around him his canopy thick clouds dark with water. Out of the brightness
before him there broke through his clouds hailstones and coals of fire. Yah also
thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice. And he sent out
his arrows, and scattered them; he flashed forth lightnings, and routed them.
Psalm 18: 4
It is written: 'In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the
earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all nations, and the desired of all
nations (the Messiah Yahshuah) will come, and I will fill this house with glory,'
says Yah the Almighty… Haggai 2:6
It is written in the Scroll of Isaiah:
Is 64:1 O that you would tear open the heavens and come down,
so that the mountains would quake at your presence—
2 as when fire kindles brushwood
and the fire causes water to boil—
to make your name known to your adversaries,
so that the nations might tremble at your presence!
3 When you did awesome deeds that we did not expect,
you came down, the mountains quaked at your presence.
4 From ages past no one has heard,
no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any Eloah besides you,
who works for those who wait for him.
319
Graves split open and some of the recent dead came back to life (after the
resurrection, they appeared briefly to their friends in the city). Everyone was in
awe. The Commanding Roman Officer said,
“He really was the son of Jupiter. We have killed a just man.”
248
Yosef of Arimethea Asks Pilate for Yahshuah’s Body
In the distance, Yosef the honorable one from Arimethea, a Tzaddik (Sage)
and a Senator, stood among a group of men and women disciples who had been
with Yahshuah ever since he began in the Galil. They were weeping and striking
their chests in sorrow. Yosef, who believed in Yah’s coming Kingdom, was a
secret follower of Yahshuah. (Kayafa had not summoned Yosef to the illegal
trial).
Yosef of Arimathea went boldly to Pilate and requested the body of
Yahshuah, and Pilate granted his request. Yosef and Nicodemus, the other
secret follower from the senate, had their servants wrap the body with aromatic
herbs, spices and aloes (fit for a king). They had to bury him before the sun set
and the Jewish Passover (a Sabbath) would begin. They wrapped the body in
linen cloth and transported it to a new tomb in a garden on the Mount of Olives,
not far from the killing grounds. They rolled a large stone over the mouth of the
tomb and departed. Mary of Magdala and Miryam the mother of Hosea, Yah-kov
and Salome were watching them. They hurried to Miryam’s home before the
Sabbath began.
And he will make his burial place with the wicked ones, and with the
rich class in his death. Is.53:9
Yahshuah went into the grave a few minutes before sundown on
Tuesday. On Wednesday, before sunset makes 24 hours. Thursday before
sunset, makes 48 hours and Friday before sunset, makes 72 hours (three
days and three nights). He resurrected on Friday (that’s why it’s called
Good Friday) just before sunset and as the night began, the Saturday
Sabbath began. Yahshuah had been in a state of absolute death, no
movement, no breath, no traveling to hell to fight the devil. He was dead,
no consciousness, lifeless.
249
The Rogues Ask Pilate to Station Guards at the Tomb
Shortly after Yosef left Pilate, the illegal chief Edomite priests and the rogues
from the Pharisees came to Pilate and said, “Adoni, we remember that the
deceiver said while he was alive that after three days, he would rise from the
dead. Send some soldiers to guard his tomb for three days to prevent his
followers from stealing the body and saying he has risen.”
320
Pilate said, “I will send some troops.”
The soldiers arrived, sealed the tomb and set up a watch.
The cords of death entangled me. The anguish of Sheol (the Land of Death)
came upon me. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 6:3
Yah has bared his holy arm (his angel) before the eyes of all the nations; and
all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our Eloah. Is 52: 10
He (Yah) reached from on high and he took me, he drew me out of many
waters. He delivered me from my strong enemy and from those who hated me; for
they were too strong for me. They confronted me in the day of my disaster, but
Yah was my support. He brought me out into a spacious place; he rescued me
because he delighted in me Yah has dealt with me according to my righteousness;
according to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me. For I have kept the
ways of Yah and I have not done evil by turning away from my Eloah. For all his
ordinances were before me and I did not turn away from his statues. I have been
blameless before him and have kept myself from sin. From the Dead Sea Scrolls
Psalm 18:16
The wicked have laid a snare for me, as for me, I have not gone astray from
your precepts. Your decrees are my heritage forever. They are the rejoicing of my
heart. I have set my heart to perform your statutes to the very end….128 your
decrees are streams of honey, therefore my soul observes them. From the Dead
Sea Scrolls Psalm 119:110 & 128
The secret of Yah is with them that fear him; and he will show them his
covenant. Mine eyes are ever toward Yah; for he shall pluck my feet out of the
net. Ps 25:14
This poor man cried, and Yah heard him, and saved him out of all his
troubles. Ps 34:6
I sought Yah, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. Ps 34:4
For thou hast delivered my life from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from
falling, that I may walk before Yah in the light of the living? Ps 56:13
Yah Eloah Tsebaoth is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down
in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul…yea
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death thou art with me.
Psalm 23:1 1
therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices. My body also rests without a
care. But you will not abandon me to the grave nor will you let your Holy One
see decay. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 18:16
Yah will redeem my life from the power of the Land of Death. From the Dead
Sea Scrolls Psalm 49:16
Great to me is your steadfast love O Yah my Eloah you have delivered me
from the Land of Death. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 86:13
321
Having conquered Azazel and opened permanently the gates of the Land of
Death all who follow Yahshuah can say:
We escaped with our lives like a bird from the fowler's snare; the snare was
broken and we escaped. Ps 124:7
See, Yah’s hand is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. Is 59:1
It is written in the Scroll of Isaiah:
Arise, shine; for your light has come,
and the glory of Yah has risen upon you.
For darkness shall cover the earth,
and thick darkness the peoples;
but Yah will arise upon you,
and his glory will appear over you.
Nations shall come to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawn. Is 60:1-3
Shout heavens for Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth has done it. Shout aloud depths
of the earth. Burst out with singing mountains, forest, and every tree in it. For
Yah has redeemed Yah-kov and has glorified himself in Israel. From the Dead
Sea Scrolls Isaiah 44:23
Hallelu-Yah. Praise ye Yah from the heavens; praise Him in the heights.
Praise ye Him, all His angels; praise ye Him, all His hosts. Praise ye Him,
sun and moon; praise Him, all ye stars of light. Praise Him, ye heavens of
heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens. Let them praise the name
of Yah( Eloah Tsebaoth ); for He commanded, and they were created. He hath
also established them forever and ever; He hath made a decree which shall
not be transgressed. Praise Yah from the earth, ye sea-monsters, and all
deeps; Fire and hail, snow and vapour, stormy wind, fulfilling His word;
Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars; Beasts and all cattle,
creeping things and winged fowl; Kings of the earth and all peoples, princes
and all judges of the earth; Both young men and maidens, old men and
children; Let them praise the name of Yah, for His name alone is exalted; His
glory is above the earth and heaven. And He hath lifted up a horn for His
people, a praise for all His saints, even for the children of Israel, a people
near unto Him. Hallelu- Yah. Psa 148:1
On this mountain
(Mts. Are often symbols for kings so I read this as
“this mountain” to be the Messiah)
the Eloah Tsebaoth of (angel) hosts will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food, a feast of well-matured wines,
of rich food filled with marrow, of well-matured wines strained clear.
322
And he will destroy on this mountain
the shroud that is cast over all peoples,
the sheet that is spread over all nations;
he will swallow up death for ever.
Then the Eloah, Yah, will wipe away the tears from all faces,
and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth,
for Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth has spoken.
It will be said on that day,
Lo, this is our Elaoh;
we have waited for him, so that he might save us.
This is Yah for whom we have waited;
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
For the hand (angel) of Yah will rest on this
mountain (Yahshuah of Netzeret). Is 25:6-10
For Yah has ransomed Yah-kov (a name for believers) and has redeemed him
from the hand of those too strong for him. Ezek 31:11
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive me: thou shalt stretch
forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and thy right hand shall
save me from death. Ps 138:7
I love Yah, because he has heard my voice and my supplications. Because he
has inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live. The
sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found
trouble and sorrow. Then called I upon the name of Yah; O Yah, I beseech you,
deliver my life. Gracious is Yah, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful. Yah
preserves the simple: I was brought low, and he helped me. Return unto thy rest,
O my life; for Yah has dealt bountifully with you. For thou hast delivered my life
from death, mine eyes from tears, and my feet from falling. I will walk before
Yah in the kingdom of the living. I will take the cup of salvation, and call upon
the name of Yah. Precious in the sight of Yah is the death of his saints. Ps 116:1
(Editor’s note: The Cup of Salvation is a beautiful image. Salvation
means “to keep alive.” The Cup of Salvation contains the elixir of
immortality. At the last supper I said “the cup” is a symbol of wisdom. In
Proverbs 9:5 Wisdom personified as a lady says: Come, eat of my bread, and
drink of the wine.
Yahshuah’s full Torah is what leads us to the wisdom to remove our
sins, and to the wisdom to gain immortality. His Gospel is the “Cup of
Salvation.” Having drunk the elixir of his Gospel, we can like Yahshuah, go
fearlessly to death. He went ahead of us instead of us. (end of Editor’s
note).

Sunday Morning Three Ladies Approach the Tomb
Saturday ended and the sun was went down, around 6:00PM. So Sunday
began at 6 PM. Mary of Magdala, Joanna, and Miryam the mother of Hosea,
Yah-kov and Salome left the house in the dark around 5:00 A.M carrying more
embalming spices. As they were walking they were talking about how they could
roll back the huge stone at the mouth of the tomb. Around day break as they
neared the tomb, an angel, in robes like lightning as white as snow, descended
from heaven. The earth began to shake and the Roman guards began to quake
and fell to the ground like dead men. The angel rolled back the stone and said,
“Do not be frightened, I know you are looking for Yahshuah who was crucified.
He is not here for he has risen, as he said he would. Look in the tomb for
yourselves.”
When the three women entered the tomb, they could see the body was gone.
They saw a young man in a white robe sitting to the right. He said, “Do not be
frightened. Yahshuah Immanuel of the Netzerim, who was murdered, is no longer
here. Yah has raised him back to life. Go and tell his Apostles to meet him on the
appointed mountain in the Galil.”
FaithfuL N.T.- tell his disciples, especially Peter, that he goes before them
into Galilee.
252
Mary of Magdala Tells the apostles the Good News
324
The three women ran from the tomb to tell the Apostles. Miryam and Joanna
stopped, they seemed frozen trembling in ecstasy, but Mary continued running.
When she told the eleven Apostles (who were weeping and mourning), they did
not believe her, but Peter and Yahchanan ran to the tomb followed by Mary.
Yahchanan arrived first. The soldiers were gone. He entered the tomb and Peter
came on his heels. They saw the grave clothes folded and lying on the slab.
Yahchanan believed, but Peter hesitated. They went back to report to the other
Apostles, but Mary of Magdala lingered.
253
Mary of Magdala Returns to the Tomb and Sees Two Angels
Yahshuah had cast seven (angel) demons out of this Mary. She went back
into the tomb, and two angels like men in shining garments appeared. Mary fell
with her face to the ground. The angels said, “Why do you seek the living among
the dead? Do you remember when he told you in the Galil that the Messiah must
be delivered into the hands of sinful men and crucified and that on the third day
he would rise again? Go and speak to his Apostles again.”
254
Mary of Magdala Meets Yahshuah Near the Tomb
Mary came out of the tomb weeping and through her tears saw what she
thought was the cemetery caretaker. He asked her “Woman why are you
weeping?”
She said, “Because they have taken my master’s body and I do not know
where they have lain it. If you moved it, please tell me where it is, so I can take it
away.”
He said to her, “Mary.” She sobbed, “My master,” and she rushed and held
him tightly. He said,” Do not cling to me for I have not yet made the Aliyah
(ascent) to Father yet, but go and tell my disciples I am alive and am going to my
Father and your Father, my Eloah and your Eloah.”
255
Mary Meets Miryam and Joanna and They Run to the Apostles
Mary did not want to let go of him, but began running to the house again.
Along the path, she met Miryam and Joanna. They began to run with her, when
suddenly Yahshuah met them. They fell at his feet and clung to them, and
praised him. Yahshuah said, “Do not be afraid, go to my brothers.”
So they went to the Apostles and learned that he had also appeared to Peter.
256
The Roman Soldiers Are Given Money by the Rogues to Lie
325
Meanwhile the Roman soldiers, which had been guarding the tomb, came to
the Edomite chief priests (Gamaliel and Shammai) . They called in the rogue
Edomite Senators and decided to give the soldiers each a large sum of money to
say that his disciples had stolen the body while they slept. Moreover, to this day
that is what many Jews believe.
257 Yahshuah Appears to Two Disciples Near the Town of Ammaus
That same day, two disciples were walking to the village of Ammaus, which is
about six kilometers from Yerushalayim. They were talking about the crucifixion
and the reports of the women about the resurrection. A fellow traveler, who was
behind them, overtook them. It was Yahshuah, but he had blocked their eyes so
they could not recognize him. He asked them, “What were you discussing? You
look so sad.”
Kleopas said, “You are coming from Yerushalayim, surely you heard all the
terrible things that happened.”
“What happened?”
“Our rogue Edomite High Priest and rogue Edomite Senators killed Yahshuah
of Netzeret, a great prophet who told us about Father’s Kingdom. He performed
many miracles and healed a multitude of sick people. The High Priest turned him
over to the Romans; they nailed him to an executions stake, and hung him in a
tree. That was three days ago and that is why you find us perplexed and
sorrowful. We believed he was the chosen one, the son of David, the Messiah,
the son of Yah, and that this was the time when he would restore Israel. This
morning, some of his female followers went to his tomb and his body was
missing. They said they saw angels who told them he had risen from the dead.
Some of the Apostles ran to the tomb and it was empty, but they did not see any
angels. So now we do not know what to believe.”
Yahshuah said, “This nation is full of dull and slow-minded people. Is there no
one in the land who believes the prophets? Why can’t you simply believe what
they said? The prophets said the Messiah would come, be rejected, despised,
and murdered.
Then Yahshuah started with the writings of Moses and went through the
Hebrew Scriptures showing how the messiah was to come and suffer and die.
Resurrect, and be glorified.
When they reached Ammaus, the two disciples convinced Yahshuah to rest
with them. They entered one of their houses, and reclined at a table to eat.
Yahshuah took bread and broke it. As soon as he broke the bread, he released
their eyes and they saw who it was, and just as quickly, he disappeared. They
stared at each other and Kleopas said, “Our hearts were on fire as he explained
the scriptures to us on the road, come we must go back to Yerushalayim.”
326
258
Yahshuah’s First Appearance to a Group of Disciples
They immediately hurried back to Yerushalayim. When they reached the
house where the Apostles were sequestered, they came in shouting, “We have
seen Yahshuah. He has risen.” They told of all that happened on the road and
how their hearts glowed, and how when he had broken the bread, their eyes
were opened, and how he then vanished.
The others were also excited and said: “He also appeared to Peter.”
As they were telling these things, suddenly Yahshuah entered the room and
stood in the midst of them. Some of them were frightened thinking he was a
phantom.
“Shalom,” Yahshuah said, “Do not be frightened, I am not a phantom. It is I. I
am alive again. Look at my hands and feet. See the wounds where the nails went
in. Touch me. Phantoms do not have flesh and bones do they? Do you have any
food?” they handed him a plate with a piece of roasted fish and a honeycomb.
“Look phantoms cannot eat can they?” He bit into the fish and swallowed a bite.
The doubters began to relax.
“Do you remember how I was always telling you that everything written by
Moses and the prophets about the Messiah would come to pass? Well it is
happening. The hard part is over. I have risen from the dead and you will too.”
Then as he had done with Kleopas and the other disciple, he went through all
the Hebrew writings beginning with Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms
explaining all the prophecies about his death and resurrection and how Father’s
plan for entering his Kingdom had been entrusted to them.
41 Messianic Verses
Moses said the Messiah would be born as an Hebrew
It is written by Moses in the Scroll in Deuteronomy: I will raise them up a
Prophet from among their brethren, like unto you, and will put my words in his

come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall
speak in my name, I will require it (blood) of him. Deut 18:18

David said he would be opposed by mighty enemies
Psa 69:4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine
head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty
David said he would be given a mixture of gall (opium) and cheap
vinegar wine
Psa 69:21 They gave me also gall for my food; And in my thirst they gave me
vinegar to drink.
David said even his family would think he was mad
Psa 69:7 (69:8) Because for Thy sake I have borne reproach; confusion hath
covered my face. I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an alien unto
my mother's children. Because zeal for Thy house hath eaten me up, and the
reproaches of them that reproach You are fallen upon me.
David said he will teach in parables
Psa 78:2 I will open my mouth with a parable; I will utter dark sayings
concerning days of old
Ps.78:2 In a proverbial saying I will open my mouth: I will cause riddles of
long ago to bubble forth.
From the Dead Sea Scrolls Psalm 49:3 My mouth will speak wisdom. The
meditation of my heart will be insight. I will turn my ear to a proverb. I will
uncover my riddle on the harp.
David said the Messiah would be Yah’s right hand man
Psa 110:1 YHVH (Adonai) says unto my master (Adoni): 'Sit thou at My

Isaiah said he will be a stumbling stone for Israel
Isa 8:14 And he shall be for (some) a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling
and for a rock offense to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the
inhabitants of Yerushalayim. And many among them shall stumble; they shall
fall and be broken; they shall be snared and taken.
Isaiah said he would appear in the Galil region
Isa 9:2 (9:1) The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they
that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.
(Zebulon and Naphtali in the Galil)
but in the latter time he will make glorious the way of the sea, the land
beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who lived in a land of deep darkness—
on them light has shined.
3 You have multiplied the nation,
you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you
as with joy at the harvest,
as people exult when dividing plunder.
4 For the yoke of their burden,
and the bar across their shoulders,
the rod of their oppressor,
you have broken as on the day of Midian.
5 For all the boots of the tramping warriors
and all the garments rolled in blood
shall be burned as fuel for the fire. (NRSV)
Isaiah said he will not have the spirit intermittently, but continuously

Isaiah said Gentiles will rally to him
Isa 11:10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for
an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be

Daniel said he would come to heaven as a man and receive the office of
king and a kingdom
Dan 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds
of heaven one like unto a mortal, and he came even to the Ancient of days, and
he was brought near before Him. And there was given him dominion, and glory,
and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him;
his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his
kingdom that which shall not be destroyed
Enoch 46:1 There I beheld the Ancient of days (the angel of Yah), whose
head was like white wool, and with him another, whose countenance resembled
that of man. His countenance was full of grace, like that of one of the holy
angels. Then I inquired of one of the angels, who went with me, and who showed
me every secret thing, concerning this Mortal; who he was; whence he was and
why he accompanied the Ancient of days.
2 He answered and said to me, This is this mortal, to whom righteousness
belongs; with whom righteousness has dwelt; and who will reveal all the
treasures of that which is concealed: for Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth of spirits
has chosen him; and his portion has surpassed all before Yah the Eloah of the
Tsebaoth of spirits in everlasting uprightness.
3 This Mortal, whom you behold, shall raise up kings and the mighty from
their dwelling places, and the powerful from their thrones; shall loosen the
bridles of the powerful, and break in pieces the teeth of sinners.
4 He shall hurl kings from their thrones and their dominions; because they
will not exalt and praise him, nor humble themselves before him, by whom their
kingdoms were granted to them. The countenance likewise of the mighty shall He
cast down, filling them with confusion. Darkness shall be their habitation, and
worms shall be their bed; nor from that their bed shall they hope to be again
raised, because they exalted not the name of Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth of
spirits.
Daniel said he would be falsely executed
Dan 9:24 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but
not for himself.
Hosea said he will come to ransom us from the grave
Hos 13:14 ransom them from the power of the nether-world?
Micah said he will be born in Bethlehem
332
Mic 5:2 (5:1) They shall strike the judge of Israel on the cheek with a rod .
But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of
Yahudah, out of you shall one come forth unto Me ( the Messiah Yahshuah) who
is to be ruler in Israel.
Zechariah said he will be a branch (Netzer) from Netzaret
Zec 6:12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaks the Eloah of (angel)
hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH Netzerim
(Nazarene) comes from Netzer the Hebrew word for branch.
Zechariah said he will enter Yerushalayim on the colt of a donkey
Zec 9:9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion, shout, O daughter of
Yerushalayim; behold, thy king cometh unto you, he is triumphant, and having
salvation, lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt, the foal of an ass.
Zechariah said the 30 pieces of silver paid for his betrayal would be cast
back into the treasury in the temple
Zec 11:13 And Yah said unto me: 'Cast it into the treasury, the goodly price
that I was prized at of them.' And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast
them into the treasury, in the house of Yah.
Zechariah said he would be pierced, or thrust through
Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the
inhabitants of Yerushalayim, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they
shall look unto Me because they have pierced him through; and they shall mourn
for him, as one mourns for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one
that is in bitterness for his first-born.
Zechariah said his followers would scatter when he was arrested
Zec 13:7; smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered;
Malachi said he would be proceeded by a forerunner and he would enter
the temple in Yerushalayim
Mal.3:1 From the Dead Sea Scrolls version “Behold I will send my
messenger (John the Baptizer) and he shall prepare the way before me. And They
will suddenly come to his temple, Yah the Eloah of the Tsebaoth (his angel)
whom you seek, and my messenger of the covenant (the Messiah) whom you
desire; Behold he himself (the angel) comes says Yah. But who can endure them
when they come? And who shall stand when he (the angel) appears. For he is like
333
a refiner’s fire and like a fuller’s soap, and he will sit as a refiner and purifier of
silver and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them as gold and silver.
(Words in parenthesis are mine)
Moreover, Yahshuah told them their mission was to spread the message of
repentance and forgiveness of sins starting in Yerushalayim to every nation in
the world.
He told them to stay in Yerushalayim for a while until Father would send
another gift –“power (to do miracles)”, you will be clothed with power from on
high.
Behold, I send forth the promise of my Father on you. But wait in the city of
Yerushalayim until you are clothed with power from on high." Lk.24:49
And Yahshuah approached and spoke to them, saying: All authority has
been given me in heaven and on the earth. Matthew 28:18
And to him there were givne a rulership and dignity glory and kingdom that
the peoples, national groups and languages should all serve him. His rulership is
an everlasting rulership that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that
will not be brought to ruin. Dan.7:14
Then Yahshuah blew on them and said,
“Receive the Paraclete -hagios pneuma -Pure Spirit”. This was the baptism
Yahshuah came to bring. This pure spirit is a messenger spirit who witnesses to
Yahshuah and helps us understand his dark teachings. God breathed on Adam
and he had life, when Yahshuah breathes this spirit on you, you have new lifeeternal life, you are spirit born or born again, fathered from above.
Yahshuah said: “This Gospel you bring will loose some sinners from their
sins, but others will reject the message and remain bound. “
The rod of your strength Yah will send out of Zion, [saying:] Go subduing in
the midst of your enemies. Ps.110:2
And in the days of those kings shall the Eloah of heaven set up a kingdom
that will never be brought to ruin. And the kingdom itself will not be passed on
to other people. It will crush and put an end to these kingdoms, and it itself will
stand for times everlasting. Dan.2:44
259
My Adoni (master) and Elohim (judge)
The Apostle Toma was not with the others when Yahshuah appeared. He
refused to believe them when they said they had seen the master. He said,
334
“Unless I see the wounds of the nails in his hands and put my fingers into the
wound in his side, I will not believe.”
Eight days later, the Apostles were all sequestered in the same room and
Toma was with them. Yahshuah entered and stood in their midst. “Shalom,” he
said, then he looked at Toma and said, “Toma put your fingers in my hands, and
side wounds so that you may believe.”
Toma said, “You are my Adoni and Elohim, (my master and judge who stands
in the place of Yah).
Yahshuah said, “How happy for you Toma because after you saw, you
believed. But how much happier will those be who can believe without seeing
anything.”
260
The Apostles Went to the Galil
The eleven disciples proceeded to the Galil, to the mountain Jesus had
designated. Mt 28:16
261
But Instead of Going Straight to the mountain, the Apostles
Went Fishing
The Apostles went to Kefer Nahum and went out fishing. They fished all night
but caught nothing. As the day was breaking Yahshuah was standing on the
shore, but they did not recognize him. Yahshuah called out, “Hey lads, did you
catch anything?”
“No.”
“Cast the net on the right side of the ship and you will find some”. They cast
the nets and soon they were so full, they could not pull them in. Yahchanan said
to Peter, It is the Master.” When Peter heard this he unbelted his fishing gear,
dove in the lake, and swam to shore. The other disciples brought the fish to the
land, and when they reached Yahshuah and Peter, they saw a fire with some
coals and bread and fish cooking. While the breakfast was cooking, they pulled
the nets onto the beach and sorted the haul. There were 153 different species of
fish and none of the nets broke.
262
Now is the Time, Not Later
As they ate, Yahshuah said to Peter, “Shimon son of the Dove do you love
me more than you love fishing?” “Yes Master I do.” “Then take care of my little
lambs.”
335
Later he asked, “Shimon son of the Dove do you really love me?” “Yes
Master you know I do.” “Then feed my mature sheep.”
Then Yahshuah asked him a third time, “Peter are you sure you love me?”
Peter was hurt that he had asked him three times. He said, “Master you know all
things. You know I love you.” “Then feed my elderly sheep.”
I want you all to go back to Yerushalayim and wait for the power I promised
you. If you plan to obey me Peter, now is the time to do it. While you are young
you can dress yourself and go where you want, but before you know it, you will
be old and people will take you wherever they want.” He was referring to Peter’s
death.
Peter turned around and pointed to Yahshuah’s favorite disciple, and asked,
“What about him?” Yahshuah answered, Peter worry about yourself. What
difference does it make to you if he does nothing until I return?”
Because of this statement, some of the disciples were saying that the favorite
disciple would never die until Yahshuah returned. Of course, Yahshuah did not
say that, he was just making a point that Peter should obey, even if no one else
did. This was the third time he had appeared to his Apostles.
Then he led them to a mountain in the Galil and 500 hundred other disciples
gathered there. When they saw him, most prostrated themselves before him, as
disciples did before rabbis, but some waivered in doubt and did not. Then he
opened their eyes to the Hebrew scriptures that pointed to him.
263
Yahshuah’s Last Month on the Earth
Then they journeyed back to Yerushalayim, and for the next month,
Yahshuah was with them eating, drinking, and instructing them. He said, “As my
Father has sent me, so I send you.
How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who
announces peace, who brings good news, who announces salvation, Is 52:7
Father has given me complete authority over all things visible and invisible.
Go and teach all nations this Gospel of the Kingdom. Make wisdom students
wherever you go. Do not leave anything out. Teach them to obey all the
commandments that I gave, not the commands of the Mosaic Law which were
only for the ancient Jews, but my New Covenant commands-the full Torah for the
whole earth).
Fear not, for I have redeemed you, I have called you by your name, you are
Mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you, and through the
rivers, they shall not overflow you; when you walk through the fire, you
shall not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle upon you. Is 43:1
336
Yah will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome
pestilence. He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shalt
thou take refuge; His truth is a shield and a buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid
of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day; Of the pestilence
that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A
thousand may fall at Thy side, and ten thousand at Thy right hand; it shall
not come nigh you. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the
recompense of the wicked. For thou hast made Yah who is my refuge, even
the Most High, thy habitation. There shall no evil befall you, neither shall
any plague come nigh thy tent. For He will give His angels charge over you,
to keep you in all thy ways. They shall bear you upon their hands, lest thou
dash thy foot against a stone. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; the
young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet. Ps 91: 3
(Editors note: But all these promises come with persecutions)
Look I have refined you, but not with silver; I have purified you in the
furnace of affliction. From the Dead Sea Scrolls Isaiah 48:10
And it must occur in the final part of the days, that the mountain (Messiah) of
the house of Yah will become firmly established above the top of the mountains,
and it will certainly be lifted up above the hills; and to it all the nations must
stream. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the
mountain of Yah, to the house of the Eloah of Yah-kov; and he will teach us of
his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of (Mount) Zion shall go forth
the Torah, and the word (Davarim-Logos-Wisdom) of Yah from Yerushalayim.
And he (the Messiah) shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many
people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into
pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more. Is.2:2
And many nations will certainly become joined to Yah in that day, and will
actually become my people; and I will reside in the midst of you. And you will
have to know that Yah the father of all spirits himself has sent me to you.
Zec.2:11
Those who believe, obey, and receive the Paraclete (angel) pure spiritbaptism will be saved. Stay in Yerushalayim until you receive the gift of Power.
Behold I am will be with you always and where two or three believers gather
in my name, I will be there in the midst until the Resurrection Day, and to the end
of the age.”
337
Then he led them out as far as to Bethany, and lifted up his hands, and
blessed them As he was blessing them he was parted from them and began to be
borne up to heaven. Luke 24:50
And sat on the right hand of Yah. Mark 16:19
He who pleased Yah was loved; he who lived among sinners was
transported- Snatched away, lest wickedness pervert his mind or deceit beguile
his soul; For the witchery of paltry things obscures what is right and the whirl of
desire transforms the innocent mind. Having become perfect in a short while, he
reached the fullness of a long career; for his soul was pleasing to Yah, therefore
he sped him out of the midst of wickedness. But the people saw and did not
understand, nor did they take this into account. Wisdom 4: 10
And so his messengers went forth from the east even unto the west proclaiming
the holy and incorruptible Gospel of eternal salvation.”
The End
Final Notes
In 70 AD when the Roman General Titus had Yerushalayim surrounded, he,
for no apparent reason, pulled back his troops for a few days and all the followers
of Yahshuah who were still in the city fled into the mountains.
The Attack of the 12th Legion.
“Cestius Gallus, the Roman governor of Syria marched against Israel with the
12th Legion. He fought his way into Yerushalayim, but was stopped before the
walls of the Temple. For a week he made repeated attacks until the defenders
were on the point of surrender. At the last moment and for no apparent reason,
he pulled back and retreated from the city.”
http://www.angelfire.com/nt/theology/18-ad70.html
338
After a brief lull, the Romans returned and destroyed the city killing most of
the inhabitants and sold the survivors on the slave market. They burned the
temple and to this day, it has never been rebuilt.
Since no New Testament writer mentions the fall of Jerusalem, and it was
such an earth-shaking event, I must conclude that the four gospels had to have
been written before 70 A.D.
Do you follow the Clone of Mithra?
Many Christians lose their faith when they discover the blatant similarities
between the pagan myths and what they were taught about Yahshuah. The
Yahshuah they were taught is Mithra and not the Yahshuah of the Gospels .
Mithra, and the Yahshuah they were taught, were god/men come to the earth.
The Yahshuah of the Gospels was not a god/man but a mortal. Mithra, and the
Yahshuah they were taught, as godmen means Mary was the “mother of God”.
But since Yahshuah was a mortal, Mary is not the Mother of God. Mithra, and the
Yahshuah they were taught, were bulls. Yahshuah fought against the Bull God
cult. Mithra, and the Yahshuah they were taught, give life to their followers
through their blood. Yahshuah’ blood is his wisdom, his teaching, his gospel.
Eternal life comes through obeying his message, not through his blood. The
followers of Mithra unite with Mithra by eating his flesh (cannibalism) and drinking
his blood (Vampirism). True Christians unite with Yahshuah by obeying his
commandments. Mithra, and the Yahshuah they were taught, were sacrifices.
The Yahshuah of the Gospels was not a sacrifice. Yahshuah spoke against
sacrifice and ended the sacrifices in the Temple. Mithra, and the Yahshuah they
were taught, were born on December 25th. (We cannot say with any certainty
when he was born, but since the wicked festival of Hanukah and several wicked
false gods were born on the 25th, we can rule it out). Mithra, and the Yahshuah
they were taught were part of a Trinity. The Yahshuah of the Gospel was not a
deity and taught that there was only one member in the Godhead, his father Yah.
Mithra, and the Yahshuah they were taught, were identified with Sunday. The
Yahshuah of the Gospel resurrected on a Friday and observed a Saturday
Sabbath. The followers of Mithra, and the Yahshuah they were taught, looked at
their followers as brides. The Yahshuah of the Gospels looks on his followers as
brothers and sisters. Mithra, and the Yahshuah they were taught, were part of the
wine cult of Dionysius. The Yahshuah of the Gospel did not make wine nor any
intoxicants. John the Baptizer would not eat anything connected to the vine.
Even in the O.T. the priests of Yah were not to drink wine, nor take intoxicants
when they went into the temple, the followers of the true Yahshuah, do the same.
Mithra, and the Yahshuah they were taught, are identified with Christmas trees.
The Yahshuah of the Gospels is identified with the Thornbush.
My point is that what passes among most Christians as their savior is a clone
of Mithra, and not at all close to the true Yahshuah of the Gospels. The truth shall
set you free. Mainstream Christianity did indeed spring from pagan myths and
pagan gods, but it is a false Christianity that serves the Gods of war and
339
prosperity. True Christianity is a little flock who follow a Yahshuah who sprang
from the Torah and the prophets and the one Eloah Yah of the Tsebaoth.
Since 33 AD, the little flock of believers has always been on the earth, but it is
this writer’s opinion that what passes today for Christianity is Mithraism and not
what Yahshuah taught. Most of the little flock are scattered and do not belong to
the organized churches.
If you are part of the little flock, drop me an email and we can encourage each
other. Write to robert@robertroberg.com
A Final Thought
Do you love the Father so much that this world is hateful to you? Then do
what Yahshuah said to do and the Father will welcome you with open arms.
Ask our heavenly Father to give you the Paraclete, Pure Spirit –the
emissary of the truth. Yahshuah said:
Luk 11:11 And what father is there among you, who, if his son asks for a
slice of bread, will offer him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish
offer him a snake? or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion? If you then,
with all your human frailty, know how to give your children gifts that are good
for them, how much more certainly will your Father who is in Heaven give the
Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!
The Paraclete will help you fulfill this next part:
Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do
to get eternal life?” If you want to enter life, obey the commandments." (Mt
19:16-17)
So learn and do the commandments of Yahshuah. He left 215 commandments;
you can read them at http://robertroberg.com/writings/commandments6.pdf or
http://lulu.com/roberg
They are not difficult and can be summed up in two words: “love and hate.”
Love Yah and hate your psyche life in this world. When you turn your heart
towards the father and resolve to submit to his imperial reign, and obey his
commandments as delivered by Yahshuah, you unite with him. By continual
obedience, each day you carry your execution stake and forsake all attachments
to the world, you make yourself fit to inherit eternal life. Walk in kindness, mercy,
peace, love, and forgiveness.
Surely, this Dabar-logos-Gospel that I am commanding you today is not too
hard for you, nor is it too far away. It is not in heaven, that you should say,
340
‘Who will go up to heaven for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it and
observe it?’ Neither is it beyond the sea, that you should say, ‘Who will cross to
the other side of the sea for us, and get it for us so that we may hear it and
observe it?’ No, the word is very near to you; it is in your mouth and in your
heart and in your hand for you to observe.
See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, death and adversity. If
you obey the commandments of Yah your Eloah of the Tsebaoth that I am
commanding you today, by loving Yah your Eloah,, walking in his ways, and
observing his commandments, decrees, and ordinances, then you shall live.
O how desirable are all his works, and what we can know is but as a spark!
Ecclesiasticus 42:23
The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our Eloah stands forever.
Is 40: 8
Yahshuah, our Eloah’s brother, said: Lo I am with you always, even to the
end of the aeon. Mt. 28:20
And he asked: “When the Messiah returns will he find people on the earth
who have faith?”
Appendix A
Yahshuah revealed Yah’s perfect laws. He said he came to bring
the law to it’s fulfillment. The Law as revealed by Moses and the
prophets was insufficient, incomplete. The law seen by Moses and
the prophets was only seen dimly in the shadows. Jesus (Yahshuah)
brought the law back to its original position of light. Yahshuah
restored, and revealed the true commandments of God (Yah).
Yahshuah said Yah spoke through him and gave him the (revealed,
restored and fulfilled) commandments for humans. He said it is by
obeying these commandments that we enter eternal life.
“if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.” (Mt.19:17)
341
Did Yahshuah mean the commandments given to Moses? No, he
specifically said we were to keep “his commandments,” the
commandments that he revealed.

“If you love me, keep my commandments.” (Jn.14:15)
“If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love.” (John 15:10)
“Verily, verily, I say to you, If a man keeps my sayings (commandments), he
shall never see death.” (John 8:51)
“If a man keeps my sayings (commandments), he shall never taste of death.”
(John 8:52)
The words of Yahshuah are the commandments of
Yah.

“The words which you hear are not mine, but the Father’s which sent me.
“(Jn.14:24)
“the Father is in me.” (Jn.14:11)
“my Father is greater than I.” (Jn.14:28)
“I do nothing of myself; but as my Father has taught me, I speak these things.”
(Jn.8:38)
“For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a
commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.” (John 12:49)
“ the words that I speak to you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth
in me, he doeth the works.” (Jn.14:10)
“as the Father said to me, so I speak.”(John 12 :50)
“ If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept
my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.” (Jn.15:10)
“And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak
therefore, even as the Father said to me, so I speak.” (John 12:50)
So keeping the Father’s commandments revealed only by
Yahshuah leads to life everlasting.
Yahshuah also said do not mix the old with the new. New wine
must go into new wine skins. Do not try to put a new patch on an old
garment, or an old patch on a new garment. The commandments as
given by Moses and the prophet’s were incomplete and only
shadows of the true commandments. The old have been replaced
and have have passed away. The commandments of Yahshuah are
the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. That is not to say that there is
not truth in the old, only that our commandments come from the new
alone.
What must I do to have eternal life?
342
Four passages show people asking Yahshuah “What must I do to
have eternal life?” All four times he said keep the commandments.
Case 1. And a certain ruler asked him, saying, Good Master, what
shall I do to inherit eternal life? ... You know the commandments, Do not
commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honor your father
and your mother. And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. Now when
Jesus heard these things, he said to him, You lack one thing: sell all that you have, and
distribute to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.”
(Lk.18:18-24)
Case 2. Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what
good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”
.... if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
He said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “’You shall not murder. You shall not commit
adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not offer false testimony. Honor your father and
mother. And, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I
still lack?” Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give
to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” (Mt.19:17-21)
Case 3. And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him,
saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
He said to him, What is written in the law? how do you read it? And he answering
said, You shall love Yah your Elohah with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with
all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself. And he said to
him, You have answered right: this do, and you shall live”.
The lawyer then asked him who was his neighbor and Yahshuah
told the story of the good Samaritan which concludes with your
neighbor is anyone you meet in dire need. Be a good neighbor to
those in need. (Luke 10-25-28)
Case 4. “And when he was gone forth into the way, there came
one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what
shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?
...Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not
steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother... One thing
thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt
have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.” (Mark 10:17-21)
Notice the commandment he added about forsaking all
possessions. So it is not enough to keep the all the commandments if
343
you ignore the commandment to forsake life. You must hate your life
in this world.


“So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he has, he cannot
be my disciple.” (Lk.14:33)
“He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall
keep it to life eternal.” (Jn.12:25)
The world is ruled by Satan (Azazel) and lies in wickeness.
Whoever loves the world or the things of this world, or his own life in
this world, is the enemy of Yah and Yahshuah, and will miss the
heavenly Kingdom. You must renounce this world and hate your life
in it to gain everlasting life.




The Pharisees had added many of the traditions of the elders from the oral
tradition to their religion and were teaching them as commandments from
God. Yahshuah said they were lovers of money. They taught that after
death the soul was immortal. They believed in endless eternal punishment.
Yahshuah always described them as having an outward show of holiness,
but inwardly they were greedy hypocrites.
The Sadducees were Hellenizers and secular. They loved everything Greek.
They were fiercely in favor of Capital punishment. They denied an afterlife,
and did not believe in angels or demons.
The Herodians were loyal to the Herod dynasty. They loved all things
Roman. Herod seems to have thought he was the Messiah. He also was a
usurper to the throne. Herod was not Jewish, but an Edomite and had no
right to the throne. He was an adulterer. There is a hint of pedophilia with
Salome his step daughter.

shall in no wise enter therein.“ (Lk.18:17)

the ninety and nine in the wilderness, and go after that which is lost, until he find it?”
(Lk.15:4)
139. Use money as tainted as it is to prepare a heavenly
habitation for yourself
“And I say to you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness;
that, when you fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.”
(Lk.16:9)
( Wealth is decietful and unrighteous)
140. Ignore what the world calls “great” like art, movies,
celebreties, leaders etc.
“for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of Yah.”
(Lk.16:15)
141.Preach the Kingdom message

adultery.” (Mark 10:11)

“For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country.” (Mt.25:14)
“My master is staying away a long time.” (Mt.24:48)
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a
testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” (Mt.24:14)
165. Work hard, or lose it all
“For I say to you, That to every one which has shall be given; and from him that has
not, even that he has shall be taken away from him.“ (Lk. 19:26)
166. Do not mix your ministry with commercial products
“make not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.” (Jn.2:16)
359
“My house is the house of prayer for all nations: but you have made it a den of
thieves.“ (Lk.19:46)
167. Give nothing to Caesar
“Render therefore to Caesar the things which be Caesar’s, and to God the things
which be God’s.” (Lk.20:25)
Caesar was a pagan God and Yahshuah was saying give the
pagan god back his coins, but give 100% of your life to Yah. If Yah
gets 100% what is left for Caesar? Nothing.
168. Be Patient
“In your patience possess your souls.” (Lk.21:19)
169. Preach repentance and forgiveness of sins to all nations
in Yahshuah’s name
“And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among
all nations.” (Lk. 24:47)

“For Yah sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world
through him might be saved.“ (John 3:17)

and feasts
“the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth.” (Jn.4:24)

that cometh from God only?” (Jn.5:44)
175. Labor for eternal things not earthly
“Labor not for the food which perishes, but for that food which endures to everlasting
life.” (Jn.6:27) (Work only enough to privide the barest of necesssities for
yourself and family).
360
176. Believe that Yah took Yahshuah to heaven, instructed
him and sent him to save us.
“And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even
the Son of man.” (John 3:13)
(So at sometime in his youth, Father took Yahshuah up to heaven
to instruct him. He ascended before he descended).
177. Believe that Yahshuah was a ransom for your sins
“the Son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to present his life
as a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:28)
A ransom is different from a sacrifice. Yahshuah never used the
word sacrifice excpet to say Yah did not want sacrifices.
“I will have mercy, and not sacrifice.”
(Mt.12:7)
A ransom was an exchange of a living person. Father did not
sacrifice Yahhuah, and he did not sacrifice himself. Satan and his evil
forces killed Yahshuah.
178. Do the work of Yah
“Then said they to him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe on him
whom he has sent. (Jn.6:28-29)
179. Do the Will of Yah
“I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against
heaven.” (Lk.15:18)
“whosoever he be of you that forsakes not all that he has, he cannot be my disciple.”
(Lk.14:33)
The prodigal son is a good example of someone doing the
Father’s will. Once he left the pig sty he never looked back, or went
back but went straight for his father’s house. We must leave
everything in this world behind and go straight to the Father’s house.
Yah’s will is summed up in two words “Come” and “forsake”.)
180. Eat, breathe, sleep, do, and live the words of Yahshuah
361
“I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eats of this bread,
he shall live for ever.” (His words are the bread, eating the bread-words
leads to immortality).
181. Lovingly obey his words
( they give you spiritual flesh and blood for the new spiritual life).
“Whoso eats my flesh, and drinks my blood, has eternal life; and I will raise him up at
the last day.” (Jn.6:54)
182. Preach that the world is controlled by Satan (Azazel) and
is evil
“The world… hates me, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.”
Even though Christendom is ruled by the beast, there are
still some true Christians trapped within the beast who are
stuggling to be free, and to do right.
183. Do the Father’s will and you will know the truth
“If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God.”
(Jn.7:17)
(His will is for you to love him and forsake the world).
184. Do not seek your own fame
“He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks his (Yah’s) glory
that sent him, the same is true.” (Jn.7:18)
185. The words of Yahshuah are living water
“Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.”
(Jn.7:37)
186. Execute punishment on no one, especially do not inflict
capital punishment
“He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. “ (Jn.8:7)
187. Do not remain a slave of sin
“Verily, verily, I say to you, Whosoever commits sin is the servant of sin. And the
servant abides not in the house for ever.” (Jn.8:34)
188. Keep on obeying ( it leads to life).
“Verily, verily, I say to you, If a man keeps my sayings, he shall never see death.”
(Jn.8:51)
362
189. Yahshuah is the only door to the father
“I am the door, if any man enters in he shall be saved.” (Jn. 10:9)
If you believe in Yahshuah, (that is unite with and obey him), you
will never see death.
“And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die.” (Jn.11:26)
190. Keep the Commandments spoken by Yahshuah (for they
are the Father’s commandments).
“And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak
therefore, even as the Father said to me, so I speak.” (Jn.14:10)
191. Love with the kind of love Yahshuah showed
“A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another; as I have loved you,
that you also love one another.” (Jn.13:34)
192. Stay Calm
Yahshuah said “Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in
me.” (Jn. 14:1)
193. Love Yahshuah (Love is as Love does).
“If you love me, keep my commandments.” (Jn.14:15)
“Jesus answered and said to him, If a man loves me, he will keep my words: and my
Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.” (Jn. 14:23)
194. Abide in Yahshuah and bring glory to the Father
“I am the vine, you are the branches: He that abides in me, and I in him, the same
brings forth much fruit.” (Jn.15:5)
195. Abide in Yahshuah’s love
“If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; even as I have kept
my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.” (Jn.15:10)
196. Be Yahshuah’s Friends
“You are my friends, if you do whatsoever I command you.” (Jn.15:14)
197. Be Yahshuah’s family
“For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and sister, and
mother.” (Mark 3:35)
363
198. Pray in Yahshuah’s name
“Whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” (Jn.15:16)
199. Do not be offended by Yahshuah or the Gospel
“These things have I spoken to you, that you should not be offended.” (Mt.11:6)
200. Preach against the world’s sins, explain how to be
righteous by keeping Yahshuah’s commandments and explain
the coming day of Judgment
 “he will reprove the world of sin (the chief sin is to reject Yahshuah),
 and of righteousness (declaring that Yahshuah was innocent),
 and of judgment (for Azazel has been judged and found guilty and
will be punished) (Jn.16:8)
201. Stay peaceful and cheerful in tribulations
“These things I have spoken to you, that in me you might have peace. In the world
you shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.” (Jn. 16:33)
202. Teach the Father’s, name it is “Yah”
“I have manifested your name to the men which you gave me.” (Jn.17:6)
203. Do not fight in the wars of men
“My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then my servants
would fight.”(John 18:36)
204. Teach people to obey these commandments of Yahshuah
throughout the whole world
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations.” (Mt. 28:19)
“teach them to observe all things that I commanded you.” (Mt.28:20)
“Whoever, therefore, shall break one of these least commandments, and teach
others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do
and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.” (Mt.5:19)
Teach only willing people Don’t cast your perals before swine.
205. Be zealous to keep them in a spirit of fervent love
“For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and
Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.” (Mt. 5:20)
206. Take up your cross beam (execution stake)
“And whosoever doth not bear his cross (beam), and come after me, cannot be my
disciple. “ (Lk.14:27)
364
“and take up his cross (beam) daily, and follow me.” (Lk.9:23)
“He that loves his life shall lose it; and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it
to life eternal.” (Jn.12:25)
“If any man comes to me, and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and
children, and brethren, and sisters, and even his own life also, he cannot be my
disciple.” (Lk.14:26)
207. Avoid the last pit-fall (pride)
“when you shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are
unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do. “ (Lk.17:10)
208. Know Yah
(All the commandments are to help you know and love Yah and
have eternal life).
“And this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true Elohah, and Yahshuah
the messiah, whom you have sent.” (Jn.17:3)
(Yah is the only true Elohah and Yahshuah is his human son, the
Messiah. To know them is to love them and obey them and be with
them for all eternity).
209. Do Not Accuse Yah of Murder
Do not teach the lie of subtitutionary Atonement. Yah did not
sacrifice his son to himself to appease himself. Yah wants Mercy and
not sacrifice. Azazel killed Yahshuah. Yahshuah offered himself as a
living ransom not a sacrifice.
210. Keep the Sabbath
“The Sabbath was made for man.” (Mark 2:27)
211. Worship only Yah
“for it is written, You shall worship Yah your Elohah, and him only shall you serve.”
