I constantly find that people evaluate their spiritual and religious understanding against what one might term an "evolution mindset" — that is that we are the most advanced generation that has ever lived and that the "Old Testament" people were more primitive than we are today.

Yet the reality is that Yah created mankind as powerful and highly intelligent.

Adam and Eve (Chavah) were of great stature, great intellect and great technological prowess.

Noah was about six meters (18 feet) tall and highly advanced civilizations sprang up rapidly after the flood because the humans that survived the flood (Noah and his family) were highly advanced and brought with them in the ship highly sophisticated technological knowledge.

We do not have the technology and capability today to construct some of the ancient structures that exist in the world today, such as the Great Pyramid in Egypt and the Great Temple at Baalbek.

The reality is that mankind has been regressing physically – getting smaller, intellectually and spiritually from creation and it is vital that in evaluating what we hear and read that we take this into account.

Yah did NOT send Yahooshua because mankind was more advanced but because mankind was regressing so badly.

Conclusion

It is vital that we have a real and sober perspective of our history and that we realize that we are deteriorating relative to Yah's original creation and NOT improving.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

A few days ago I was referred to the following video link:

http://www.sidroth.org/site/News2?abbr=tv_&page=NewsArticle&id=10378

The link shows video footage with a former Muslim who converted to Christianity after a near death experience in which he claims he was visited by "Jesus" and healed from a very severe illness.

The interview continues with further dramatic experiences.

There are some challenges insofar as what is reported directly contradicts some key principles that I have been reporting on this mailing list for close to ten years.

In particular, the "Jesus" who appeared to this man is claimed to have said "I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" – according to what I believe, Yahooshua would NOT say that because it is NOT true, Yahooshua was a prophet and a man and is NOT Yah or God.

Following this experience this man has become a mainstream Charismatic Christian follower and places great store on the bible being the "Word of God" – according to what I believe mainstream Christianity has become increasingly pagan and Yah is calling those who truly believe OUT of Christianity.  In addition I believe that the bible is NOT the "Word of Yah".

I also believe that the Allah of Mohammed is also Yah and that accordingly in speaking to a devout Muslim I would expect Yahooshua to say things differently.

Watching this video I was forced to ask the question "am I (James Robertson) seriously deceived or …"

After the end of the video I got on my knees and asked Yah about what I had just seen.

I am NOT going to tell you what He said now, I want you to examine your beliefs and examine what is reported here and see what Yah shows you.

Remember only that it is written that in the last days there will be miracles that will deceive even the elect – Yahooshua speaking in Matthew 24:23-24 is reported to have said: "23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the anointed one {Christ}, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false anointed ones { Christ }, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." (KJV)

Conclusion

This video presents a very challenging message in terms of what James Robertson has been teaching for the last decade.

You need to go before Yah and ask Him to show you what is the truth.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

I continue to find my established beliefs challenged by that which Yah is showing me day by day.

In recent weeks I have repeatedly found myself forced to take an increasingly robust line that CHRISTIANITY IS A PAGAN RELIGION.

Christians think they are Yah's chosen one's.

They think they are closer to Yah than any other group.

They are proud and judgmental of other religions.

BUT it is NOT true.

The very name "Christian" tells us that they are off the mark in a big way.

Christ is a meaningless religious English word derived from Christos in Greek meaning anoint or anointed.

So, Christianity is actually "Anointedanity" or something like that!

And Christians worship Christ, which is either the anointing, which is the Spirit of Yah but they do not see it that way OR it is Jesus because Jesus is perversely commuted as being equal to Christ.

And Jesus is another meaningless pagan name derived from Zeus the main Greek god (approximates Yah in Greek Theology but NOT Yah, a perverted, manmade construct derived from Yah).

So Christians worship the man Jesus who they make equal to Yah and therefore break the first commandment "I am Yah the eternally self-existing your Mighty One who brought you out of the land of Egypt you shall have no other Mighty One's before me" and then they break the second commandment about idols by worshipping the Bible, and the third commandment "thou shalt not take the Name of Yah the eternally self-existing,  your Mighty One in vain" by calling Him God and the Lord, by using web services like "Yahoo.com", by using "yah" or "ja" for yes, etc.

And they break the fourth commandment about the Sabbath on Saturday and the other Sabbaths of Yah and they observe Christmas and Easter both of which are truly repulsive to Yah.

And then, because Yah in His great mercy extends some anointing and grace to those who by some miracle develop some sort of relationship with Him, the Christians set themselves up to judge the world!

Problem is that in their own way the Jews do this too with God and G_d and Hashem and "the Name" and "the tetragramaton" and worshiping their version of the bible, etc.

So we find a few Jews with personal relationships with Yah and the rest are just as pagan as the Christians.

And, in many ways so do the Muslims – I have written at length about Islam being worship of Yah and I have MET Muslims with deep personal relationships with Yah.

BUT, if I am brutally frank about it, the vast majority of Muslims are NOT worshiping Yah the eternally self-existing and, as much as the root of Allah is CLOSER to Elohym than God it is still NOT Yah so the vast majority are ALSO worshiping a false deity.  And some are worshiping the Quran and Mohammed contrary to what is written in the Quran.

And the Muslims ALSO think they are Yah's chosen people! 

So …

We find that all three of the mainstream, nominally monotheistic religions are in major error.

Then, there is another interesting conundrum – every single human being on this planet is descended from Noah!

Every single religion on this earth is descended from the religion of Noah!

Which was the worship of YAH!

Religions MORF, they mutate, they transform, they build on their inheritance.  They do not just miraculously appear from nowhere!

So, I have reached the conclusion that EVERY religion on earth must at some level contain some fragments of truth derived from the religion of Noah.

I have known for years that EVERY religion on earth, in every derivative, has a hook that links back to Yah and that the key to bringing people of that religion to saving knowledge of Yah lies in finding the hooks in each religion.

I have now realized that those hooks derive from the fragments of truth that are preserved in every religion and I therefore conclude that there is probably more truth in the religions that I do not know, and have disregarded as false, than I realized!

And so, the SHOCKING realization I have come to is that there is a distinct possibility that ALL religions have some critical links back to Yah and some critical truths that the others have lost AND that, while my Christian heritage wants desperately to believe that WE have the truth I must now reconcile myself to the fact that the Christians, the Moslems and the Jews are just three of the innumerable pagan religions cluttering the earth!

It really is quite a shock!

Well first of all, if your roots are in pagan Christianity, repent, resolve to get free of all the false doctrines that clutter Christianity because the truth is -- once you discard the bible from being the "living word of god and without error" you really do NOT have much to hang your claim to fame from!

Yah has been saying to Christians for years "come out of her".

The remnant is very small.

Will YOU seek to be part of the remnant.

NEXT, start looking for truths in other religions.

How do you know that Lord Shiva in Hinduism is not a perversion of Yahooshua and that Confucius is also and that Buddah is too and …

I don't really understand the implications of what I just wrote because I know next to nothing about these religions because I have always distained them …

What might I discover if, led by the Spirit of Yah, I were to start digging into those religions?

What do YOU already know that you could share with me?

Conclusion

It is a harsh reality that the vast majority of Christians are pagans, that the vast majority of Muslims and Jews are pagans AND that there is more truth in other religions than I have previously recognized.

I challenge you to lay aside your prejudices rooted in pagan Christianity and see what you know and what you are shown about the religions you may have despised (

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

In the past week I have received an impassioned plea to pray for the life of a Christian in jail in a Muslim country and sentenced to death for preaching about Jesus and also an email warning people about a book that is viewed as very dangerous.

The challenge is that in both cases the pleas for action come from an erroneous base.

The man facing a death sentence

It is almost certain that the man in prison is at some level worshipping Jesus and teaching others to do the same and at some level is teaching that the bible is the inerrant Word of God and therefore worshipping the book.

Yet the self-same book (the bible) states that anyone who worships any being other than Yah the eternally self-existing should be put to death and that any person who engages in idolatry (which includes worshipping the bible) should be put to death. Thus the death sentence for the Christian missionary is entirely "scriptural" only he should be stoned and not hanged.  The Quran merely confirms what is written in the book (the bible) i.e. do not worship Yahooshua and do not worship the book.

Thus the Court of Heaven will NOT grant petitions for the life of this man because the sentence is just in the Court of Heaven.

The harsh reality is that in the new dispensation ushered in at the start of the seventh millennium a few years ago, worship of God, the LORD or Jesus is worship of a Satanic force, working on the true Sabbath, Saturday is giving honour to Satan, regarding the bible as anything other than a book written by human beings is also sin and all these sins carry a death penalty, either in this life or the life to come.

What the man in Jail needs is a revelation of the true identity of Yahooshua as a human being and prophet, cease venerating the bible, start using the right names, start observing the true Sabbath and deal with other core errors and then there will be no way he can be put to death for it is written that not even a sparrow falls to the ground without Father Yah's consent and Yah will not grant a death penalty on earth except for someone who has broken one or more of the ten commandments.

The book – "Conversations with God"

Regarding the book referred to above, it is titled "Conversations with God" since God is NOT Father Yah's name it is futile to complain that the book is not about Yah, its name indicates that it is not about Yah, even if people think that God is a valid name for Yah.

God is a satanic deity and there are few people left on earth today who are still receiving Grace from Yah to receive answers to prayer from Yah in the name of God, all others are serving Satan in ignorance because they have been deceived by demons.  For all the rest their prayers to God are being answered by the Satanic power called God.

In this case, if the person who wrote the email was using the true name of the Creator they would not be troubled by books about God and they would not be sinning by defending God.  It is vital to cease using the false names, even if you have been using them all your life.

Conclusion

It is vital for all who claim to have a relationship with Father Yah and who claim to venerate His Name to use the true names, cease worshipping Yahooshua and the book, observe the true Sabbath, etc.

If you are not earnestly seeking to change your language and your belief set I urge you to do this now as a matter of highest priority.  Also cease corresponding with Yahoo.com addresses or using the Yahoo.com portal in any way.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

Some time ago I posted an article about Planet X also known as Nibiru that is supposedly going to destroy much of the earth.

I subsequently received the following document which provides links to video and still photographs which appear to indicate that there IS something out there.

I remain skeptical as to whether something so far out would be producing effects now – gravitational force decreases exponentially with increasing distance and I yesterday read another article which claimed the earthquakes were the result of some scientific experiment in Alaska, which I am also skeptical about.

I do not know enough about astronomy to have an opinion but I do know from a practical engineering approach that since the earth rotates and orbits the sun and is therefore a moving target in three dimensions and since the object is allegedly coming head-on towards the earth it is not possible to predict a near or far miss and certainly not possible to name countries, etc – incidentally this article does NOT make such claims but there are other articles and reports that do.

I do not have any sense that this is the star spoken of in Revelation 8.

Note that an assumption of steady state normalcy which is now deviating is not valid, the flood reported in Genesis occurred roughly 4,500 years ago (that is recently) and the entire surface of the earth was massively destroyed and reformed, the earth has been constantly adjusting from this trauma ever since thus happenings on earth do not necessarily indicate a new external force OR a human triggered happening.

That does not mean that there will not be a fly-by and that there is no possibility of massive consequential damage, I do not know enough about the object to hold an informed opinion.

I AM clear that Father still has much that needs to be done on the earth and so I remain skeptical with regard to extreme disaster scenarios – according to this article we do not have long to wait to find out if this particular story is valid.

I continue to hold that if something that large even flies reasonably close to earth the earth as we know it will almost certainly be totally destroyed.

I am very clear that Father Yah has spoken to me about a thousand year reign of anointed one's with the Spirit of Yah which only commenced in May 2003 and accordingly I hold that even if something does fly by there will be a significant body of people who will survive.

Having said this, we should not require something like this to trigger us to get our lives right with Yah, if your life is not right with Him, deal with it now, you could die any moment anyway

No Elenin -- Planet X Causing Quakes

from art.gospel@comcast.net

I am sure the dangerous practice of fracking and the Gulf oil well that is pressurizing and lubricating the faults will help bring earthquakes to the New Madrid and East TN seismic zones but here below is the main trigger.

What they are calling Comet Elenin is actually the Brown Dwarf / Planet X / Nibiru. NASA is trying to allay fears by saying that this thing they see coming is a comet and not the much more dangerous Planet X / Nibiru, but it's too late -- it is being seen by astronomers

This video* shows the alignment of Nibiru / Planet X, the Earth and the sun for the 2/27/10 Chile earthquake, the 9/4/10 New Zealand earthquake and the 3/11/11 Japan earthquake. The next alignment will be on 9/27/11, which is three days from Yom Teruah on 9/30/11. The closest this brown dwarf will get is .232AU on 10/17/11 which is in the middle of Sukkot which runs from 10/14/11 to 10/21/11. When it draws close it will be seen with the eye.  On 11/5/11 Earth passes through the path of Nibiru/Planet X so we should be pelted pretty badly with asteroids, as is described in Revelation 8. On 11/23/11 comes another alignment.  These dates can vary due to the Brown Dwarf speeding up or slowing down according to its relationship to other planets and the sun.

Here is found much more of the story.

This video debunks Elenin and Betelgeuse as second sun -- it's a binary brown dwarf.

*Here is the link to the tool the guy in the video was using; click on “Orbit Diagram” to launch the Java applet tool (you need Java installed on your computer to use this tool).

Here Comes Elenin (X)

Look at the dates of previous alignments of Earth with Elenin (X?) and the earthquakes that have happened on them.  Look at the size of the quakes.  With this powerful effect on Earth, this could not be a wimpy comet, as the government is saying to calm fears. Look at the future dates this year when there will be alignments but this time Elenin will be much closer.

Please repent and believe the New Testament of the Bible quickly.

Here Comes Elenin

Monday, May 09, 2011 10:01

“At its present position beyond the orbit of Mars, Elenin is a faint telescopic object. At that distance a planet-sized object would be one of the brightest ‘stars’ in the night sky one would think, and if it were Jupiter-sized it would be visually spectacular, a shining beacon that would make everyone take notice! But no, that does not seem to be the case. Large amateur telescopes are straining to even catch a glimpse of Elenin; it is likely a small object, probably a big rock,” writes one blogger.

Big seems to be the appropriate word for we now have the first actual astronomical calculations that puts the coma (the part they can see is 50,000 miles in diameter. Yes a big rock!

“On April 8th at our Russian observatory we carried out planned observations of Comet C/2010 X1 (Elenin). An analysis of the results of the observations shows a rapid growth of the coma. Besides the internal compact gas envelope, the forming rarified external coma is also visible in the image. Its diameter exceeds 1 minute of arc, or 80,000 km! It is possible that such a rapid growth of the coma is associated with the apparent superposition over it of the comet’s dust tail, which after opposition, still remains invisible to the earthly observer.”

The coma is what astronomers actually see and is actually much bigger than the core. It’s the green in the above picture that they are saying is 80,000 km or 50,000 miles across. We could estimate that the core might be half the diameter of the coma or approximately 25,000 miles. Big enough—it seems to be already stirring up the Earth under our feet.

There is a lot of speculation going on about what this comet actually is and what it is composed of but at least now we have an idea of its size. The following video is from a man who explains how the size was calculated and he confirms the above astronomers are not out of their minds.

The Professionals Step In

We have news out of Cornell University that sustains the view that Elenin is playing a direct part in causing large earthquakes. Professor Mensur Omerbashich is saying that his “georesonator concept in which tidally induced magnification of Earth masses’ resonance causes seismicity.” This trashes NASA’s assertion that the humongous earthquake we saw in Japan and before that with the ones in Chile and New Zealand were coincidental with alignments between Elenin, the Earth and the Sun.

The earth’s seismicity can arise as a natural response of our planet to its alignments with other celestial objects.

Professor Mensur Omerbashich

Omerbashich demonstrates empirically that “all strong (~M6+) earthquakes of 2010 occurred during the Earth’s long astronomical alignments within our solar system. He shows that the same holds true for all very strong (~M8+) earthquakes of the decade of 2000s. He asserts that the “comet C/2010 X1 (Elenin) has been adding to robustness in terms of very strong seismicity since 2007. Elenin will continue intensifying the Earth’s very strong seismicity until August-October, 2011.”

It seems like every time Elenin lines up with Earth and another planet or the Sun we have an earthquake, the nearer Elenin gets the bigger the earthquakes.

Past Elenin Alignments and Earthquakes:

Future Elenin Alignments:

Now of course we have many earthquakes and if we showed them all, this chart would then lose much of its meaning. The 9.1 earthquake in Japan though will never lose its meaning and it happened on cue with an alignment with Elenin.

So everyone I guess it is not a small pebble after all that is coming our way and I think NASA knows this for how could they calculate its pathway through the inner solar system without knowing its mass or size? But before we blow our gaskets over this I want you to take a look at a most interesting and strange video of a presentation by a most beautiful and intelligent man. It seems that flybys of big objects are not that unusual and that we had a truly big comet almost hit the Sun less than ten years ago. Below we have physicist Nassim Haramein showing a NASA video of something that frightened everyone who was watching yet nothing happened when something should have. When asked why not Haramein said, “I don’t know.”

I trust Nassim, and what he shows goes beyond the pale of scientific understanding. According to him such a large object should have made a mess of the inner solar system but it did not. In the film we actually see the sun protecting itself with a huge and forceful solar flare from what looked like a possible collision with a huge comet.

But now we have another one heading in but this one is already wrecking the earth with 9.0 earthquakes, already resulting in a nuclear catastrophe in Japan. It was only seven days ago when I published:

In this video you will see with mathematical precision that every time this celestial body comes into alignment with the earth and sun we have a huge earthquake. The last three alignments produced the Japanese 9.0 quake, the one in New Zealand and before that the one in Chile. On March 11th Elenin was much further out. When the next alignment happens it will be devastatingly close. The main point to understand is that if Elenin was just a normal comet it would not have the mass to generate a gravity pull that would affect the earth when the Earth swings around into alignment.

The mystery only gets more profound. Cosmic rays crashing into the Earth over the South Pole appear to be coming from particular locations rather than being distributed uniformly across the sky. Similar cosmic ray “hotspots” have been seen in the northern skies too, yet we know of no source close enough to produce this pattern. “We don’t know where they are coming from,” says Stefan Westerhoff of the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It’s a mystery because the hotspots must be produced within about 0.03 light years of Earth. Further out, galactic magnetic fields should deflect the particles so much that the hotspots would be smeared out across the sky. But no such sources are known to exist.

Perhaps our incoming comet is hot in terms of radiation and is doing more than putting out gravity fields that are affecting the Earth’s structure. We have an evolving puzzle going on down here on Earth but it will get clearer as the next few weeks or months pass. So far we have many strange “coincidences” that are going unexplained but as they pile up we will be better able to triangulate events into a comprehensible perception of what is in store for us and what to do, if anything, about it.

People pounced on Nassim Haramein for inferring that the NASA video he was showing in his presentation above was proof that Nibiru had come and gone already. It is dangerous to make assumptions but who would have thought that there was more than one big planet-size object that was coming in on comet trajectories within ten years of each other?

This last one that Haramein shows danced with the sun and must have had some Klingon cloaking device—certainly no one I know was aware of such a close call or that comets could be that big. Now according to NASA we have a tiny rock coming in that somehow is big enough to yank on the gravitational/electric/magnetic/structural under-pinnings of our world. Must be made of Krypton or its bigger than NASA is letting on.

Excuse my attempt to lighten up the discussion. I have people crawling all over the place, including inside my own family, who are uncomfortable even knowing what’s going on with comets on their way into our backyard. This one is going to pass close where the other one seen in Haramein’s presentation miraculously left the inner solar system in peace.

What is going to happen is anyone’s guess but Professor Mensur Omerbashich does not seem to be guessing. Perhaps we should all read his paper and study up on his georesonator concept. He is from Cornell one of the most respected Universities in the world so personally I do give him the courtesy and honor of taking him seriously. It is most difficult presenting these topics to the world for their will be great dissention and controversy until September and then we will really get to experience whatever reality is going to offer itself to us on earth. My bet is that events will continue to build in intensity and life will continually get more and more out of hand on every level and dimension.

I could literally post hundreds of videos and stories of strange happenings in our world. We do not need a crystal ball to see the relentless Earth changes. We have left the landscape of normalcy behind and are entering into a world where cataclysmic chaos is becoming the new norm. Just ask the people in the Mississippi valley this week. The escalating trend of anomalous weather patterns, massive animal die-offs, inexplicable seismic activities, droughts, famine and increasing food prices supports the view that things are changing quickly and something unseen and uncalculated is participating in this. Can’t blame everything on global warming and CO2!

Below you will see two articles, one from the Washington Post and another from The New York Times from 28 years ago, but read them like they were printed yesterday.  Astronomy deals practically with eternity so what is 28 years? NASA came right out and admitted they found a massive very cold body outside the solar system. Now they are not saying a thing about this or whether this past massive comet from 2003, or the current one, have anything to do with their discovery almost three decades ago. What could possibly be their motive for keeping a tight lid on this terribly important subject?

Washington Post Mystery Heavenly Body Discovered  31-Dec-1983

A heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope aboard the U.S. infrared astronomical satellite. So mysterious is the object that astronomers do not know if it is a planet, a giant comet, a nearby “protostar” that never got hot enough to become a star, a distant galaxy so young that it is still in the process of forming its first stars, or a galaxy so shrouded in dust that none of the light cast by its stars ever gets through. “All I can tell you is that we don’t know what it is,” Dr. Gerry Neugebauer, IRAS chief scientist for California’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and director of the Palomar Observatory for the California Institute of Technology, said in an interview.

The most fascinating explanation of this mystery body, which is so cold it casts no light and has never been seen by optical telescopes on Earth or in space, is that it is a giant gaseous planet, as large as Jupiter and as close to Earth as 50 billion miles. While that may seem like a great distance in earthbound terms, it is a stone’s throw in cosmological terms, so close in fact that it would be the nearest heavenly body to Earth beyond the outermost planet Pluto. “If it is really that close, it would be a part of our solar system,” said Dr. James Houck of Cornell University’s Center for Radio Physics and Space Research and a member of the IRAS science team. “If it is that close, I don’t know how the world’s planetary scientists would even begin to classify it.”

The mystery body was seen twice by the infrared satellite as it scanned the northern sky from last January to November, when the satellite ran out of the super-cold helium that allowed its telescope to see the coldest bodies in the heavens. The second observation took place six months after the first and suggested the mystery body had not moved from its spot in the sky near the western edge of the constellation Orion in that time. “This suggests it’s not a comet because a comet would not be as large as the one we’ve observed and a comet would probably have moved,” Houck said. “A planet may have moved if it were as close as 50 billion miles but it could still be a more distant planet and not have moved in six months’ time.

Whatever it is, Houck said, the mystery body is so cold its temperature is no more than 40 degrees above “absolute” zero, which is 459 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. The telescope aboard IRAS is cooled so low and is so sensitive it can “see” objects in the heavens that are only 20 degrees above absolute zero. When IRAS scientists first saw the mystery body and calculated that it could be as close as 50 billion miles, there was some speculation that it might be moving toward Earth. “It’s not incoming mail,” Cal Tech’s Neugebauer said. “I want to douse that idea with as much cold water as I can.”

The New York Times Clues Get Warm in the Search for Planet X
30-January-1983

John Noble Wilford

Something out there beyond the farthest reaches of the known solar system seems to be tugging at Uranus and Neptune. Some gravitational force keeps perturbing the two giant planets, causing irregularities in their orbits. The force suggests a presence far away and unseen, a large object that may be the long-sought Planet X.

Evidence assembled in recent years has led several groups of astronomers to renew the search for the 10th planet. They are devoting more time to visual observations with the 200-inch telescope at Mount Palomar in California. They are tracking two Pioneer spacecraft, now approaching the orbit of distant Pluto, to see if variations in their trajectories provide clues to the source of the mysterious force. And they are hoping that a satellite-borne telescope launched last week will detect heat “signatures” from the planet, or whatever it is out there.

The Infrared Astronomical Satellite was boosted into a 560-mile-high polar orbit Tuesday night from Vandenberg Air Force Base, CA. It represents an $80-million venture by the United States, Britain and the Netherlands. In the next six or seven months, the telescope is expected to conduct a wide-ranging survey of nearly all the sky, detecting sources not of ordinary light, but of infrared radiation, which is invisible to the human eye and largely absorbed by the atmosphere. Scientists thus hope that the new telescope will chart thousands of infrared-emitting objects that have gone undetected—stars, interstellar clouds, asteroids and, with any luck, the object that pulls at Uranus and Neptune.

The last time a serious search of the skies was made, it led to the discovery in 1930 of Pluto, the ninth planet. But the story begins more than a century before that, after the discovery of Uranus in 1781 by the English astronomer and musician William Herschel. Until then, the planetary system seemed to end with Saturn.

As astronomers observed Uranus, noting irregularities in its orbital path, many speculated that they were witnessing the gravitational pull of an unknown planet. So began the first planetary search based on astronomers’ predictions, which ended in the 1840s with the discovery of Neptune almost simultaneously by English, French and German astronomers.

But Neptune was not massive enough to account entirely for the orbital behavior of Uranus. Indeed, Neptune itself seemed to be affected by a still more remote planet. In the late 19th century, two American astronomers, William H. Pickering and Percival Lowell, predicted the size and approximate location of the trans-Neptunian body, which Lowell called Planet X.

Years later, Pluto was detected by Clyde W. Tombaugh working at Lowell Observatory in Arizona. Several astronomers, however, suspected it might not be the Planet X of prediction. Subsequent observations proved them right. Pluto was too small to change the orbits of Uranus and Neptune; the combined mass of Pluto and its recently discovered satellite, Charon, is only one-fifth that of Earth’s moon.

Recent calculations by the United States Naval Observatory have confirmed the orbital perturbation exhibited by Uranus and Neptune, which Dr. Thomas C. Van Flandern, an astronomer at the observatory, says could be explained by “a single undiscovered planet.” He and a colleague, Dr. Robert Harrington, calculate that the 10th planet should be two to five times more massive than Earth and have a highly elliptical orbit that takes it some 5 billion miles beyond that of Pluto—hardly next door but still within the gravitational influence of the Sun.

Some astronomers have reacted cautiously to the 10th-planet predictions. They remember the long, futile quest for the planet Vulcan inside the orbit of Mercury; Vulcan, it turned out, did not exist. They wonder why such a large object as a 10th planet escaped the exhaustive survey by Mr. Tombaugh, who is sure it is not in the two-thirds of the sky he examined. But according to Dr. Ray T. Reynolds of the Ames Research Center in Mountain View, CA, other astronomers “are so sure of the 10th planet, they think there’s nothing left but to name it.”

At a scientific meeting last summer, 10th-planet partisans tended to prevail. Alternative explanations for the outer-planet perturbations were offered. The something out there, some scientists said, might be an unseen black hole or neutron star passing through the Sun’s vicinity. Defenders of the 10th planet parried the suggestions. Material falling into the gravitational field of a black hole, the remains of a very massive star after its complete gravitational collapse, should give off detectable X-rays, they noted; no X-rays have been detected. A neutron star, a less massive star that has collapsed to a highly dense state, should affect the courses of comets, they said, yet no such changes have been observed.

More credence was given to the hypothesis that a “brown dwarf” star accounts for the mysterious force. This is the informal name astronomers give to celestial bodies that were not massive enough for their thermonuclear furnaces to ignite; perhaps like the huge planet Jupiter, they just missed being self-illuminating stars.

Most stars are paired, so it is not unreasonable to suggest that the Sun has a dim companion. Moreover, a brown dwarf in the neighborhood might not reflect enough light to be seen far away, said Dr. John Anderson of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA. Its gravitational forces, however, should produce energy detectable by the Infrared Astronomical Satellite.

Whatever the mysterious force, be it a brown dwarf or a large planet, Dr. Anderson said he was “quite optimistic” that the infrared telescope might find it and that the Pioneer spacecraft could supply an estimate of the object’s mass. Of course, no one can be sure that even this discovery would define the outermost boundary of the solar system.

Bad News from NASA Posted by Mark Sircus - Director on 04 May 2011 | Filed under World Affairs

This is going to be the most extraordinary communication so fasten your seatbelts; we are in for a rough ride. I have known in my heart for months that I would have to make a communication like this but had no idea it would be this soon. Back in January, while investigating the underground city that is alleged to have been built under the new Denver Airport, reported on by the former governor Jesse Ventura, I put the puzzle together and came to the conclusion that a planetary event was in store for us in 2012.

Today I am presenting rock solid information; it does not get any better when NASA is your source. What you are about to read and see is happening. Last night, looking at a NASA mathematical model of comet Elenin, I found out that a large celestial body has already penetrated the solar system and is on course for a near and possibly horrific encounter with the earth in the fall of 2011. What we do not know is the size and mass of comet Elenin though I have no doubt that it is known by the authorities.

Elenin is presently being tracked as it goes through the asteroid belt on its way into the inner solar system. I am truly sorry to have to be the bearer of such grave and threatening news but the source, NASA, is impeccable. We have an incoming mass (what might possibly be a neutron star) coming in and it will do a hard turn around the sun like any comet would, crossing and coming in between Mercury and Venus before starting its journey back out. On its way out it will cross our bow, meaning it will pass very close to the earth and the earth will pass behind it, plowing into its tail.

In the video below you will see this explained graphically. What you will see with mathematical precision is that every time this celestial body comes into alignment with the earth and sun we have a huge earthquake. The last three alignments produced the Japanese 9.0 quake, the one in New Zealand and before that the one in Chile. On March 11th Elenin was much further out. When the next alignment happens it will be devastatingly close. The main point to understand is that if Elenin was just a normal comet it would not have the mass to generate a gravity pull that would affect the earth when the earth swings around into alignment.

David Morrison, Astrobiology Senior Scientist at NASA, in an official communication on March 1st acknowledged no threat from Elenin. Ten days later Elenin came into alignment with the earth and the sun and Japan was almost destroyed.

Morrison confirmed that Elenin’s perihelion (closest to the sun) is in early September 2011 at a distance from the sun of 40-45 million miles. He said it will be closest to the earth on about October 16, at a distance of about 21 million miles, but he believes there is no reason to think Elenin is any different from a normal comet. I wonder if he changed his mind after March 11th. He dismisses everything alarming as pure fiction.

This is the real deal though—that alignment did happen as we can clearly see from the NASA simulation. Now we have to live with increasing radiation spreading around the northern hemisphere. We know how easy it is for people in authority to cover up information and lie with a straight face. The Japanese government admitted it kept in secret at least 5000 radiation measurements and assessments after the nuclear event that struck the Fukushima Daiichi NPP in March. This was done in order to not induce panic in the population, a representative of the staff dealing with the nuclear emergency told ITAR-TASS.

We have to acknowledge and accept that there is a danger and a possibility that part of our civilization and the people in it will be lost. This is not a time to deny anything or a time to hold back the tears. I hope to God I am wrong but the evidence cannot be dismissed casually, though of course it will be. One picture is worth a thousand words and NASA has given us visible proof to suggest Elenin is playing a role in events down here on our planet even from a long distance. It is not a time for fear; rather it is a time for love and cooperation in the context of preparation on all levels for what is to come.

There is a history to Elenin that has been visible for years but now she is upon us and there is nothing we can do but prepare and pray—and love like we have never loved before. We have to acknowledge and accept that there is a danger and there is a possibility that part of our civilization and the people in it will be lost. The below video displays what has been known by NASA for decades.

The whole solar system seems to be heating up, the sun is becoming active and earth-changing events are becoming more frequent and intense with beyond-worst-case-scenario climate changes hitting around the globe. We have increasing geo-activity, volcanoes, earthquakes, rogue tides, sinking islands, magnetic pole migration, mass animal deaths, huge unexplained whirlpools in the Atlantic and so much more it would make anyone’s head spin.

We were tipped off to something unusual happening when Greenland experienced sunrise two days early, which was a strong sign that something was off with Earth’s orbit. On January 25th I said, “There is a lot of information (except in the mainstream press) about 2012 and the end of the Mayan Calendar that many are obsessing over but there is more than enough in 2011 to worry about and act on. Last week I was knocked off my chair with the report from the Arctic Circle in Greenland that the sun came back over the horizon two days early. That’s no small occurrence, is not something easy to make up, is not being reported as expected in the mainstream press, and only wild and stupid theories like global warming (since we really have rapid cooling) are being blamed for the event.”

Next Few Months

August 3, 2011 marks the time that the earth passes through the brown dwarf perigee position, while the brown dwarf is crossing the earth orbit location. About two weeks pass and on August 18 the brown dwarf crosses the Venus orbit some 67 million miles from the sun. Then 24 days pass to when the brown dwarf reaches the nearest point to the sun at 44.73 million miles. September 25, 2011 marks the time that the earth passes through the second conjunction with the sun, brown dwarf, Mercury, Saturn and Uranus in line for another gravitational alignment.

This video from the top of a mountain in Japan seems to have caught Elenin on camera.

October 2 is the day that the brown dwarf crosses Venus’ orbit again to begin trekking in the direction of earth. Two weeks go by and the brown dwarf crosses the earth orbit line to pass directly in front of our planet at just 22.3 million miles away, which is the nearest point in our encounter. The brown dwarf crosses the Mars orbit line on November 14, 2011 on the way to the third conjunction on November 22 where the earth once again passes directly between the two like on March 15.

Conclusion

An approaching brown dwarf star answers a lot of questions about what is happening all around us that others simply cannot begin to answer. No one really knows what will happen in the fall of this year as this incoming celestial body gets between us and the sun and then rebounds out again and heading directly into earth’s neighborhood. One person has speculated that it could rip our moon loose. It could hit us if its flight plan is changed by hitting an asteroid in the next few days. That could be possible if it really were a comet, but if it is a neutron star with a large mass, nothing will deflect its ordained path. If we are lucky, nothing will happen but humanity is not looking or feeling lucky these days.

What seems likely is what most of the ancient cultures and religions remember—huge floods that pass the world over. The only way the world can have a global flood is if there is some event like an asteroid impact, polar shift, or a very dense object passing close by earth that causes a massive tsunami tide. The gravitational pull would grab the water and pull it over the land on a massive scale, much like the moon does today on a smaller scale in the form of tides.

Safe Zones:

1. Move 150+ miles from the coasts.
2. Move 600 feet above sea level.
3. Move away from volcanoes and super volcanoes like Yellowstone in northwestern USA.
4. Move away from earthquake/seismic/avalanche/fault zones like the New Madrid Fault Zone in central USA.
5. Move away from dams that will break.
6. Move away from nuclear power plants that could become compromised.
7. Move away from high elevations where radiation levels will be highest.
8. Move away from large population areas where food riots will escalate into chaos and mayhem.
9. Join into survival groups with people of like mind that have survival supplies, gear and guns to protect them.

There is no shortage of flood legends. The earliest extant flood legend is contained in the fragmentary Sumerian Eridu Genesis, datable by its script to the 17th century BCE. In the Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh there are references to the Great Flood (tablet 11). The best-known version of the Jewish deluge legend is contained in the Book of Genesis (Genesis 6-9). God selects Noah, a man who “found favor in the eyes of the Lord” and commands him to build an ark to save Noah, his family, and the earth’s animals and birds. After Noah builds the ark, “All the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened.”

There are many sources of flood legends in ancient Chinese literature. The Shujing, or “Book of History,” probably written around 500 BCE or earlier, states in the opening chapters that Emperor Yao is facing the problem of flood waters that “reach to the heavens.” According to the Australian aborigines the water covered the land. Only the highest mountain peaks were visible, like islands in the sea.

Conclusion

I leave it to you to take a view on this, personally I am not concerned at this stage and do not hear Yah tell me to tell people to take precautions but, as always, it is your responsibility to draw close to Yah and seek His face and ask Him for guidance.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

About a week ago while worshipping Father gave me the title for this article "Pastors – the Prison Warders of Yah's people".

You might be shocked at this, after all, we have been trained to treat our Pastor with great respect, to submit to him or her, etc.

We know of people who have been kicked out of church for disagreeing with the Pastor, you might even have gone down that road yourself, you might even have been publicly condemned from the pulpit?

Not?

I have, more than once, because I dared to give unpopular messages from Daddy Yah to someone in an assembly who took exception to it.

As an example, many years ago Father told me to give a message to a church council which had suspended the Pastor because he had had an affair with a young lady in the church and told him to cut off all ties with the young woman who had been his mistress for four years.  Yah told me to tell them that this woman was the second wife of the Pastor and that they were sinning grievously by telling him to put away his second wife for no reason and he should take her back publicly and deal with the consequences.  I sent them a detailed message from Yah by fax.

That Sunday, I was still going to church on Sunday's then, there was a visiting preacher, I expected problems so we snuck in late and sat at the back of the church.  Suddenly the visiting preacher stopped, looked straight at us and called us to the front. The main video camera was right next to us and zoomed in on us while the visiting preacher declared in front of the entire congregation that Yah was well pleased with us for being obedient to His will.  As this message was being given the cameraman collapsed under the power of the Spirit of Yah so the camera remained focussed on us for the entire prophecy.  At the end the visiting preacher anointed us.

Despite this powerful confirmation that the message I had given was from Yah I received a phone call telling me we were no longer welcome in the church and the video mysteriously disappeared and never made it into the bookshop.

Such episodes are quite common in the lives of those who really seek to do Yah's will in the prophetic ministry.

In fact, if you hold yourself to be a spokesman of Yah {prophet} and you have not been kicked out of a few churches you need to check out what is going wrong in your life! 

Something that the church does very well is to "protect the sheep" – the sheep are the human beings who have not been to bible school and not been ordained by a recognized ministry – problem is that if you have been a sheep for more than a few months today Yah wants to use you and send you out into your own ministry in some shape or form.

Furthermore, NOWHERE does it say "submit to your Pastor" – reality is that the shepherd or teacher {pastor} is lesser in rank than the emissary {apostle} and the inspired spokesman {prophet}  -- 1 Corinthians 12:28 "And Yah {God} hath set some in the church, first emissaries {apostles}, secondarily inspired spokesmen {prophets}, thirdly teachers {pastors}, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues" KJV

It is NOT the responsibility of the pastor to intellectually determine if someone has come from Yah, it is their responsibility to ask Yah if that person is from Him and give them the platform that Yah ordains, even if they find the message hard and unpalatable.

One of the greatest sins of Pastors today is that they get between Yah and the people and act as censors and demand that people remain under their covering but they accept no responsibility for their error and do not receive correction except on the most trivial issues.

Many Pastors today are regrettably an illustration of the reality that many nice Christians will end up burning in the Lake of Fire and Brimstone for part or all of eternity, they exhibit all the faults that Yahooshua castigated the Scribes and Pharisees for in his time.

They subscribe to the lies they are taught in bible school, the pagan traditions with regard to the Names of the Almighty, the Sunday Sabbath, the Cross, the Bible, Christmas and Easter, monogamy, the disregard for virginity, etc and so, those who follow them for the most part are ALSO condemned to the Lake of Fire for part or all of eternity at the risk of being kicked out of the church if they do not submit.

If any teacher or other person, is preaching any message other than draw close to Yah, set yourself apart, rigorously clean up your life and learn to hear His voice clearly and be instantly obedient to it then you need to ask where that message is coming from.

If their message is in any shape or form – "I have been to bible school, listen to what I say and do not question me" they are to be avoided.

Today there is only one answer, each of us must draw as close to Yah as they can, by all means use the teachings of those who have gone before you on the road to help guide you but at the end of the day YOU MUST DISCERN the correct road for yourself.

This is one reason why all my past writings, over 700 articles are posted on the old www.ETIMin.org website without any editing or censoring by me – I am not sure what is accurate and what is inaccurate amongst those articles – there are items I consider that I know to be inaccurate today but, at the end of the day, it is up to those who visit that site to get close to Yah and find out what they should take on and what they should ignore.

The same goes for what I am publishing currently, it is up to YOU to get close to Yah and sift out the chaff and the dross in my writings – after all, I am not perfect and if I knew it was dross it would not be there, would it? – only Yah and Yahooshua are perfect, TURN TO YAH FOR TRUTH!

Conclusion

I urge you to cease looking to men for your salvation, Yah is salvation (Yahooshua means Yah is salvation).

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

This morning I received an email which said in part "I don't believe in the Quran at all, because it hasn't been written by God. Their "god" has passed away while our God is still ALIVE!!!! 

The following is my reply with some amplification beyond my reply to the above writer:

Regarding "Allah", "Alaah" is the Arabic for the Aramaic word "Eloah" and the Hebrew word "Elohym" which is the word generally translated "God"

Muslims worship the Almighty Creator and NOT Mohammed

Mohammed never claimed to be the Creator or God, he very clearly told men to worship only the Creator and warned of severe judgment for those who worshipped anything or anyone else

When you say that "our God is still alive" are you referring to Yahooshua {Jesus}?

I worship Yah the eternally self existing, the Almighty Creator of the heavens and the earth, that is my Mighty one {God}

I do this through the covenant made by Yahooshua {Jesus} who was a man filled with the set apart {holy} Spirit of Yah

Yahooshua was put to death but because there was no sin in him he was resurrected and is now seated at the Right hand of the Father waiting for his enemies to be made his footstool, he is NOT the Creator

The worship of Jesus by Christians is a pagan idolatrous practice which the Creator detests and which Mohammed spoke against strongly

The Quran is at least as inspired as the bible and there is nothing that says that the few pages in the bible are the sum total of all that Yah has given to human beings to write down

Worship of the bible is also sin and also something that Mohammed spoke against

The fundamental difference between Islam and Christianity is that the Muslims know that it is sin to worship Jesus and sin to worship the book {bible} and most Christians commit both of these grievous sins.

Further, Islam means "the worship of the Creator" and Muslim means "one who worships the Creator"

The fact that there are many errors in modern Islam is no more significant than the fact that what today is called Christianity is massively far removed from Yahooshua and what he taught -- both religions today are massively in error.

It is vital to understand that the covenant of Yahooshua was given to descendents of Isaac and Israel (Yaakov -- Jacob) and is therefore NOT directly available to the descendents of Ishmael -- the Arabs, from whom Mohammed descended.  Therefore when the Christians descended into apostacy in the great falling away that took place in the six hundred years after Yahooshua it was necessary for Yah (the Almighty) to raise up a new prophet in the form of Mohammed and introduce a new covenant.

The reason the Muslims are not part of Christianity is because Christianity is apostate and in gross error but cannot and will not see it

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace.

I met with a very committed and anointed believer yesterday who very energetically told me about a rogue planet called "Planet X" or "Nibiru" or "Wormwood" that is "just the same as described in Revelation" that is going to hit the earth on 21 December 2012 and allegedly bring about the fulfillment of various events in Revelation.

This planet is allegedly 5 times larger than the Earth but the Chinese are apparently going to deflect it with a nuclear device that will contaminate the earth's water "as in Revelation ".

I did not debate or argue because I did not have any facts to support a debate, I just ask questions seeking information -- remember the principle of "Seek truth NOT error ".

Thinking about the conversation as I drove home I concluded it did not make sense.

I have been learning quite a bit about astronomy and space objects in preparing my video "Turning History on its Head -- Proof of a Global Flood " which I hope to release shortly and postulate an impact or near miss by an ice comet as the means whereby the water was provided for the flood described by Genesis so I have some basis to hold an opinion.

Following are a few thoughts:

1. Human beings do not have any device nearly powerful enough to deflect such a huge object with such massive inertia -- if we did Earth would be bouncing all over the place as a consequence of test explosions.

2. The impact or near impact of such a large object would totally destroy the planet, NOT what is predicted in Revelation.

3. By now we would be able to see it heading right for us.

This morning I went to Google to see what I could find, I had looked about six months ago and all I could find were allegations of a secretive misinformation agency that sought to discredit credible religious people by fabricating weird stories dressed up as fulfillment of bible prophecy -- based on my findings regarding the World Trade Center a few years ago this is quite possible.

Attached to this email you will find three articles off the Internet which in my opinion give solid practical reasons why there cannot be a massive planet that is about to hit the earth.

One of these articles also makes the point that "Planet X" is a generally used term amongst astronomers for any newly discovered planet that is applied only until a name is agreed for that planet and therefore there have been various "Planet X's" over the years.

I am adequately satisfied there is NOT going to be a massive planet impact on earth next year and I urge caution in reporting any such stories, the forces of darkness are looking for all possible ways to discredit believers and as far as I can see this is one such case -- the person who shared the scare information with me is a credible and respected believer in international ministry whose credibility will be seriously compromised when nothing happens next year.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace.

I received this yesterday from Trish with the heading "Voice of one crying".

I do not know who the author is but there are some extremely important elements relating to demons performing miracles, the great falling away and the level of deception in the church today.

There are aspects in terms of the names and other items that I understand differently but I leave you to take your own view on this.

>>> FORWARDED ARTICLE BEGINS <<<

This Evil Generation

Recently, while in a time of fellowship with the Lord, He said this: "Demons perform on demand, especially when My Name is spoken.  This is one of their favorite deceptions.  But know this, I am a Sovereign God.  I don’t come every time someone calls, and I don’t perform on command.  I only act according to My will and purpose and in My timing.  And I don’t act to bless you, I act to fulfill My will and purpose, which is a blessing to you"

In other words, God isn’t sitting around waiting for people to call His name so He can come running to see what they want.  He isn’t like some trained circus animal, ready to jump through a hoop as soon as someone sticks one in His face.  How ludicrous!  Yet that’s exactly what many in the traditional church believe today.  They travel around from place to place, drive for hours, and spend thousands of dollars on airfare and motels to see the latest circus, otherwise known as a "signs and wonders revival meeting".  All because they think certain anointed men have this gift of making God do what they want, when they want.  This won’t be popular, but I have to say it, if that’s what you believe, then you don’t know God!  You only have a conception of God, and it’s a wrong one.

When you look at it in context (something that’s not very popular today, isolated phrases and verses are a lot more flexible), Ezekiel 20:9,14,22 all tell us that God acts to protect His name and reputation in the midst of unbelievers.  What He doesn’t do is act continually on demand for a bunch of people who claim to be believers already!  But, the part of what the Lord said to me that really intrigued me was what He said about demons being willing to perform on demand.  I wanted to know more about that, so I asked the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to me.  What He did was take me to Matthew 12.  The following is a paraphrase of verses 22-45, after which, I’ll make some comments on what the Spirit has shown me.

22. Then they brought a man to Jesus who was both blind and dumb, because he was afflicted by a demon.  Jesus cast out the demon and the man began to both see and speak.
23. This amazed the crowd and they started asking among themselves, Could this be the Son of David? (The Messiah, John 7:42)
24. But when the Pharisees heard what was going on, they were contemptuous and immediately set out to discredit Jesus by saying, This Man drives out demons only with the help of Beelzebub, the lord of the flies.
25. And Jesus discerned what they were thinking and what was taking place in the spirit realm.  So He said to them, Any kingdom working against itself is slowly, but surely, being destroyed.  When members of the same family fight each other, that family can’t last.
26. And if Satan is driving out his own (and he certainly is), then he’s fighting against himself.  So, how long do you think he’s going to last?
27. Now, you’re saying that I can only cast out demons with Satan’s help; then tell me, with whose help do your disciples cast them out?  Because of your own deceit, those same disciples will stand to accuse you in the Judgment (because you’ve convinced them that they’re driving out demons with God’s help, but they’re not).
28. But if I cast out demons with the help of the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God has come to you and you don’t recognize it.
29. How is it possible to go into a strong man’s house and carry away his possessions?  First, you have to overcome the strong man, and then you can do whatever you want.
30. The truth is, I’m at war with Satan (and I’m winning).  And if you’re not on My side, then you’re on his; if you’re not fighting with Me, you’re fighting against Me.
31. And here’s something else you should know: any evil that you do or hurtful thing you say can be forgiven, except this one thing – speaking against the Holy Spirit cannot be forgiven.  You cannot deny the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit.
32. If you speak against the Son of Man, it can be forgiven.  But, when you speak against the Holy Spirit, you’re severing the only connection you have with the One Who forgives, and you will not be forgiven in this time or in the time to come.  This kind of spiritual blindness is fatal.
33. The tree is either healthy, and its fruit good; or the tree is diseased, and its fruit is worthless.  You can tell everything you need to know about a tree by looking at its fruit.
34. Your fruit betrays you; you’re nothing but a bunch of snakes, just like your fathers.  Your hearts are full of evil, so it eventually flows out of your mouths.
35. I can always tell, because good men are full of good things, and that good can always be seen in them.  But, by that same token, evil men are full of evil, and their evil is always apparent.
36. And I’m telling you now; on the Day of Judgment men will be held accountable for every worthless word they’ve ever spoken against God.
37. So, by your words you will either be found not guilty, or you will be found guilty and condemned.
38. This confrontation caused several of the scribes and Pharisees to soften their stance a bit and they asked Jesus, Master, show us just one more miracle to prove that You really are Who You say You are.
39. And Jesus replied, What you’re asking now only proves what I’ve just said. Only a worthless, unfaithful generation that loves the world more than they love God, would continually demand miracles for proof of God’s existence. But, no more will be given, except the one that Jonah represents.
40. He lay dead for three days and three nights in the belly of a sea monster, and the Spirit of God led him out alive!  Likewise, the Son of Man will also lay dead for three days and three nights in the earth and then be brought out alive!
41. The men of Nineveh will stand against you on the Day of Judgment and condemn you, because they heard Jonah’s message and repented.  Open your eyes, One greater than Jonah is standing right in front of you!
42. Even the Queen of Sheba will condemn you.  She went to great difficulty to find Solomon and hear his wisdom.  But, again, One greater than Solomon is standing here now!
43. When an unclean spirit has gone out of a man of its own accord, it wanders around looking for another place, but it can’t find one.
44. So it says, I’ll just go back to the place I was before; after all, there’s nothing there to stop me.  And when it comes back, sure enough, the place is swept clean, empty and ready to be occupied again.
45. Then, the unclean spirit goes out and finds seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they all go in and make themselves at home.  So, the last condition of this man is far worse than the first.  And so it is with every wicked generation.

Now, before we get started, let me warn you.  This paper is a mixed bag.  I’ve been waiting for several months now to write a paper on the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and the Lord kept restraining me.  But I just realized this is it.  The Lord has used this passage in Matthew 12 to give me the opportunity to use the information He’s given me on the ministry of the Spirit.  So, I’ll follow this passage and talk about it, but as we go through this you’ll see an explanation of the ministry of the Spirit come out.  Just understand, as is usually the case, this is not a definitive presentation of all that the Spirit does; it’s what He wants us to see at this time.

O.K., so, Jesus heals a man possessed by a demon and the jealous Pharisees, seeing their followers being drawn away, begin to try to discredit Him.  But in verse 25 it says, "Jesus knew their thoughts".  It doesn’t say, Jesus read their lips, or, Jesus heard them talking.  He discerned by the Spirit what was going on.  Then by divine revelation, He not only confronts the Pharisees; He exposes the activities of Satan and those in the demonic realm.

In verses 25-29, Jesus acknowledges that Satan, in fact, does drive out his own for the purpose of deceiving those involved.  But then Jesus says that since He drives out demons with the help of the Spirit of God, then the Kingdom of God had come.  And being the spiritual pygmies they were, the Pharisees couldn’t tell the difference.  Then in verse 30, He tells them the war is on and they’d better get on the winning side.

We need to stop here for a minute.  Satan does drive out his own.  As I’ve already stated, the Lord has shown me that one of Satan’s favorite deceptions is to cause the super-natural to happen, especially when the name of God is invoked.  Think about it, what better way to deceive? People ask God for something, they get it, so they naturally think God answered their prayer. The Scriptures plainly tell us that Satan has the ability to do supernatural things and he has the ability to enable men to do supernatural things on his behalf (Matthew 24:24; II Thessalonians 2:8-12).  He can also make himself look like someone good and righteous, acceptable to those who are deceived and don’t really know the true God.  In their deception, Satan’s lies look like truth (II Corinthians 11:13-15).  And, we already know it’s possible for men to do miraculous things in Jesus name, even when they don’t really know Him (Matthew 7:21-23).

Put all that together and you see a description of a large portion of the traditional church today.  Men continually call on God to do supernatural things.  Many of them actually happen.  They sincerely believe God showed up, but He didn’t, demons are responsible for what is happening.  But the people get excited.  They think it was God.  They’re deceived into thinking supernatural manifestations are the best and highest experience they can have with God.  They settle for that and never pursue God and His real purpose for their lives.  So they never experience salvation.  Some day they’ll stand before the Lord and will be shocked when they hear these words, "Depart from me you lawless rebels, I never knew you at all!"

Now, Matthew is just talking about demon possession here, but the scope of this activity is much broader.  Satan has always promoted and participated in religions that promise healing, material blessings or other supernatural manifestations.  Don’t misunderstand what I’m saying here.  God does heal.  He does bless obedience.  He does manifest Himself sometimes in supernatural ways to get our attention.  But, there are those today who have made healing, material blessing and supernatural manifestations their religion.  All you have to do is turn on your local religious TV channel, watch for 5 minutes, and you’ll see what I mean.  Whoever happens to be on at the time will probably be talking about one of those things.  Satan’s goal is to distract people from the true purpose of God and get them to accept a counterfeit.  He’s happy to accommodate those who only go to God on their own terms – on the basis of what they want from Him.  And as we’ve discussed many times before, when you choose the wrong thing, God will allow you to have it.  But, it’s not His blessing.  It’s His curse.  It’s an insult to a Holy, Righteous God, when people care more about the things He can give them than about knowing and loving Him.

Church history shows us many examples of this.  There have been many so-called revivals in the past and up to the present, that illustrate the fact that people are more interested in what God can do or what He can give than Who He is.  A real revival is when people repent, forsake their wickedness and submit themselves to God to receive His will and purpose.  The Holy Spirit then begins to put them through a long, quiet, deep, sometimes joyful, sometimes excruciating, often frustrating, more often confusing, personal, process of stripping away their flesh and conforming them to the image of Christ.  Revival is not a nightly, thrill-packed, supernatural manifestation sideshow.  In its most benign form, it’s not an evangelistic crusade designed to increase church membership.  And while I’m on the subject, there are those who try to document the validity of certain manifestations currently being displayed in "revivals" today by pointing out the fact that those same manifestations occurred in past revivals.  Well, I’m sorry, but the Lord reminded me that Satan and his hordes started playing these games long before history ever recorded a revival!

And while I’m still on the subject, let me clarify that some so-called revivals in the past may have started as a result of a genuine act of God.  But, since the church is structured like it is, the organizational form, the professional clergy, the bottom line (greed), and the worldly mindset, all combine to make it impossible for a genuine move of God to move very far.  If the traditional church could learn anything from its history, it should learn that in it’s present institutional form; it has the innate ability to quench the Spirit, quickly.  And when you quench the Spirit, the demons show up and go to work.

Well, I chased that rabbit about as far as it needs to be chased.  But, there is one more thing.  Revival doesn’t really happen to a group of people anyway, though it can happen to a group of individuals at the same time.  Relationship with God is not a group activity.  One of the greatest failures of the traditional church is its refusal to recognize the fact that the most important characteristic of the Christian faith is its individuality.  Spending time alone with God, one on one, has to be our first priority.  Personal intimacy is foundational.  Little or nothing of real value is ever accomplished in congregational meetings or Sunday school classrooms.

In the right context, personal ministry times (those led by the Holy Spirit) can be helpful, but personal time with God is still more important.  Fellowship times with like-minded believers can be sweet, but fellowship with God is sweeter.  When traditional church ministry reduces Christianity to a group exercise, it becomes a mind-numbing, spiritual dead end.  In its most efficient form, a congregational service can do no more than point someone towards God.  They’ll eventually have to follow that up on their own.  Christianity is not a spectator sport.  It’s really not even a team sport.  It’s an individual sport, where the participants cheer each other on, and encourage each other to be the best they can be.

I suppose now would be a good time to repeat myself in regards to the real purpose of God.  As He said, and I repeated at the beginning of this paper, God doesn’t act to bless us, He acts to fulfill His will and purpose, which is a blessing to us.  And what is His will and purpose?  His will is to conform us to the image of His Son Jesus Christ, and His purpose is to do that through the sanctifying work of His Holy Spirit, but only when we submit to Him.  God isn’t interested in what we want, He’s interested in who we are.  He’s not interested in accommodating our sin.  He wants to change us.  People today don’t want to change, they just want God to accept them where they are and give them the stuff.  And they aren’t interested in submitting to God.  They want Him to submit to them.

Well, enough of that.  Now we have to deal with verses 31-32.  Back in verse 24, the Pharisees accused Jesus of being in cahoots with the Devil, denying that He was really working in the power of the Holy Spirit.  So, Jesus warns them here that spiritual blindness (blasphemy) is fatal.  How many people today who profess to know God are actually afflicted with this same spiritual blindness?  And what is spiritual blindness you may ask?  It’s not being able to discern the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit.  The Pharisees were so caught up in their religiosity they couldn’t recognize true spirituality.  When Jesus operated in the power of the Holy Spirit, they couldn’t see it, or didn’t want to.  Either way, they were dead.

And these questions beg to be asked at this point.  What about all those denominational people who want to believe God is a benevolent Being who wouldn’t send anyone to hell, therefore, everyone’s going to heaven; can they discern the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit? (They’re oblivious to it.)  Are all those Baptists who accept the Scriptures as their only source of faith and practice (you know, the ones who run from the room holding their ears any time the Holy Spirit is mentioned) able to discern the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit? (They’re afraid of it.)  Do the conservative, evangelical groups that reduce salvation to an easy-believism, four-point outline, discern the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit? (They only give polite lip service to it.)  And what about all those Pentecostals and Charismatics who say they believe in the Holy Spirit, but spend all their time chasing around after the stuff; can they discern the real work and ministry of the Holy Spirit? (They redefined it and got lost in their own deception.)  And can the Catholics, who elevate the Pope and the Blessed Mother above Jesus and ignore the Holy Spirit, discern the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit? (They replaced it with their own program over 1700 years ago.)  What else can I say?  This whole religious quagmire is in a world of hurt!

So, what is the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit?  I’m glad you asked.  I have several passages I’d like to share with you on this.  The first deals with this idea of spiritual blindness and is found in II Corinthians 3:16-18:

And whenever anyone turns to the Lord in repentance and humility, their spiritual blindness is taken away.

And that’s not all.  The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord goes He brings freedom from the corruption and deception of the world.

Then, in this newfound freedom and with the spiritual darkness gone, the Holy Spirit can begin to show us what Jesus really looks like (it’s as if we’re looking in a mirror at ourselves, and what we see is Jesus).  And as we embrace Him, we’re transformed more and more into His image – from one glorious manifestation to another!

What did Paul say?  When you chase after the stuff, then your spiritual blindness will be taken away?  When you find a church with a talented preacher, the best children’s programs and a professional-sounding worship team, then your spiritual blindness will be taken away?  No, of course not!  When you go to God in repentance and humility.  Only then can the Holy Spirit begin His work in you.  And what’s the work?  To accomplish the purpose of the Father, which is to show us what Jesus looks like, so we can embrace Him and be changed!

Of course, when considering the purpose of God and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, Romans 8 comes to mind.  When you follow Paul’s presentation here, the connection between the two is certain.  We’ll just look at a couple of verses (9, 14, and 28-29).

But you’re not letting your sinful nature tell you what to do; instead, you’re listening to the Holy Spirit, He’s living inside of you.

Because all those who continually listen to the Spirit of God are the sons of God.

And we can be assured that everything works together to accomplish His redemptive plan for those who love God and have responded to the call of His Divine purpose.

He always knew who would respond, and had determined from the beginning that we would be conformed to the image of His Son, the first of many like Him, who would come after Him.

In Galatians 5:16-18, 22-25 Paul’s point is that when you follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit, the result will be that you’ll be like Christ (the fruits of the Spirit are manifestations of Christ’s character).  Again, the connection is unmistakable.  The Holy Spirit’s ministry is to accomplish the purpose of the Father in our lives.  The purpose of the Father is to make us like the Son.

And in I Thessalonians 4:1-3, 8 Paul encourages us to not become self-satisfied; but keep striving to be more and more like Christ, dedicated to a pure and holy lifestyle.  And, that if we reject this, then we’re rejecting the God Whose Spirit He gives to make it all possible.  You can’t be like Christ without the ministry of the Holy Spirit.

There is, too, a parallel I’d like to point out between these two verses.  II Thessalonians 2:13b "…because He chose you from the beginning to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit and your firm belief in the Truth."  And Hebrews 12:14 "Pursue peace and holiness, without which no man will ever see the Lord."  The word translated "sanctifying work" and "holiness" is the same Greek word hagiasmos (a term used generally to designate a turning away from the flesh and the things of the world to embrace and submit to the things of God, facilitated by the ministry of the Holy Spirit).  I naturally point this out simply to show that without the ministry of the Holy Spirit, we’re dead in the water, no hope, nada!

For the most part, professing Christianity today knows nothing about the real will and purpose of God and hasn’t a clue what the true work and ministry of the Holy Spirit is all about.  It is literally the blind leading the blind.  As we go back to the passage in Matthew, in verses 33-37 Jesus confronts the Pharisees, calls them a bunch of snakes and tells them to be careful what they say, because they’re going to be held accountable for it.  In verse 38 they seem to back off a bit, but still press Him to do another miracle to prove Himself.

This brings us to another pivotal verse.  In verse 39 Jesus in His characteristic style says it like it is: "Any generation that continually seeks after miracles is both worthless and unfaithful."  Jesus calls them worthless, because the purpose of God will never be accomplished in them.  They don’t know what His purpose is, and they don’t want to know.  They’re happy with things just the way they are.  They’re unfaithful, because the things of the world are more important to them than God.  They don’t want God.  They just want all the things they think God can give them.  Of course, this verse isn’t just for the generation of Jesus’ day.

To me, this is the apostasy spoken of by Paul in II Thessalonians 2:3, where he describes the time when most professing Christians will abandon the true faith.  When I look at the church today, I see a people who want to come to God on their own terms (on the basis of what they think or what they want).  They don’t come to God in repentance and humility, ready to submit to what He requires, willing to receive only what He wants to give.  In the church today there can be only two eventual results, both of them bad.  When apostasy rules the day, the only things it can produce are deception or disappointment.  And when I look at the traditional church today, I can see just how successful Satan's devices have been.  For the most part, there’s no middle ground.  People get involved in churches and are either hooked by some form of deception, or they realize their expectations aren’t being fulfilled, and get disappointed and leave in bitterness and confusion.  Either way, Satan wins.

As we continue to follow this passage in verses 40-42, Jesus talks about His death and resurrection and chides the Pharisees again for not recognizing Who He is.  Then we come to an interesting parenthetical passage that refers back to what Jesus was talking about in verses 24-28, and 39.  Here, Jesus explains that when a demon leaves a person he has possessed (He doesn’t say the demon was cast out or forced to leave, He’s talking about a voluntary thing, remember, Satan casts out his own), he soon returns and finds that there is nothing to prevent him from reoccupying the same place.  But, instead of coming back alone, he goes out and finds other demons to return with him.  The result is a condition far worse than before.

Then Jesus applies this principle to a generation, describing a downward spiral of apostasy.  When people allow themselves to be deceived.  When they don’t make the effort that’s required to really know the truth.  When they refuse to submit to a Holy God.  When they allow themselves to get caught up in Satan’s devices.  When they’re satisfied with religion.  When they fail to recognize the work and ministry of the Holy Spirit.  Things don’t improve; they get worse.  The deception gets stronger, the disappointments get deeper, the destruction more real.  This all describes the present generation in the traditional church.

In closing I’ll quote from II Thessalonians 2:9-12, a passage that the Lord has told me applies directly to the world today, and specifically to the traditional church of today.  Actually, I should tell you specifically what the Lord told me, that the events described in II Thessalonians 2 (events that lead to the coming of antichrist and a great worldwide rebellion against God) have already begun.  The Holy Spirit has been withdrawn and the spiritual condition of the church continues its downward spiral, as you would expect it to, being guided by human reason and demonic influence.  Look at the whole chapter and allow the Holy Spirit to reveal this truth to you.  Here’s the paraphrase of verses 9-12:

This rebellion will come through the work of Satan himself, who will enable those who follow him to display all sorts of supernatural manifestations, miracles and convincing signs to prove that God is on their side – all of them lying wonders used to deceive.

There will be no limit to the ever-increasing deceptions and perversions Satan will use to seduce people into joining his rebellion, and these are the ones who are perishing because they refused to love the Truth so they could be saved.

And since they refused to love the truth, God will cast an overwhelming delusion over them to make them believe the lies.

And they will all be condemned because they would not follow the Truth; but, instead, were more than willing, even happy, to be a part of the rebellion.

And if you intend to love the Truth, you’ll pursue Him with every fiber of your being, every day for the rest of your life!  And in the midst of that pursuit, you’ll learn to allow the Holy Spirit to be your helper, your counselor, your guide, your intercessor, your source of revelation, and your friend.  The ministry of the Holy Spirit is the key to your success!

"And when the Comforter comes, Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth Who prepares you to come to the Father, He will tell you everything you need to know about Me." (John 15:26)

Conclusion

There are some important points above.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

The same discussion mentioned in the previous email triggered the thought -- "most Christians are NOT anointed ones ".

In essence the correct interpretation of "Christian" would be an anointed one who is recognizably a follower of the example of Yahooshua.

By implication this means that the Spirit of Yah should be strongly on them, they should have a close relationship with Yah, they should be filled with the Spirit of Yah, they should do the works that Yahooshua and other mighty followers of Yah have done and the world should see a different Spirit in them.

Such people do not just go to church on Sunday, or Saturday, and rely on others to instruct and lead them, they have deep personal relationships with Yah and they rely on Him to lead them and they GIVE guidance and instruction to others, Yah speaks through them, people are healed and delivered through their ministry, etc.

One of the reasons that Christianity is such a pagan religion is because most who claim to believe through that religion have a limited or non-existent personal knowledge and personal experience of Yah and His Spirit.

Many are worshipping Yahooshua, a created being and therefore in total apostasy.

Such people frequently end up worshipping or paying homage to those who are visibly anointed and thereby fall into grievous sin.

Others rely on talismans like crucifixes, crosses, the bible, etc to keep them safe and thereby fall into full fledged idolatry.

We need to examine ourselves daily to see whether we are following Yah through the example given by Yahooshua and whether we have a personal relationship with Yah TODAY or whether we are falling away to dependence on artifacts and people.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace.

I was engaged in debate by email a few days ago by a Christian who was taking issue with me about what is published on my website and telling me that she knew a person with a PhD in Theology and also her pastor who disagreed with me.

It struck me then that the problem that is faced today is the same problem as at the time of Yahooshua, the problem of the majority think they are right whereas Yahooshua was quite clear, the gate is narrow and few there are who enter therein -- i.e. the minority are the ones who understand the things of Yah NOT the majority.

It then struck me that it was the "Church" -- the formal religious establishment -- the majority of the believing people -- who condemned Yahooshua and had him put to death and it is probably so that if Yahooshua were to return today that same majority would reject him as a heretic, much as was done 2,000 years ago.

The question we all have to ask ourselves is whether we are aligned with Yah or with Satan.

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace.

This morning someone responded to my statement that Allah is Yah by explaining to me why Allah was not God.

This raises a number of important principles that are discussed below:

Before one can answer this question it is vital to get the names right.

A discussion about God is irrelevant once one realizes that Yah is NOT God.

We saw in the article about the names of Yah in the bible that Strong's number 426 corresponds to the word "Alaah" which is so close to "Allah" as to be insignificantly different given all the complexities of translation and transliteration.

"Alaah" correlates to the Aramaic "Elah" which correlates to the Hebrew "Elohym", which means "mighty one" and which is often used to refer to the Almighty in both the sense of "Mighty One" as in the "Mighty One of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob" but which can also be applied as "mighty one" in the context of Satan or powerful human beings also being "mighty ones".

"Elohym" also frequently correlates with "Almighty" when used to refer to the Almighty.

So, by extension, "Allah" can apply to "Yah". 

So we see that "Allah" CAN be taken to apply to "God" when "God" is taken as applying to "Yah". 

But, since "God" is actually a pagan deity then "Allah" is NOT necessarily "God" and it is entirely off the mark to argue that Muslims do not serve Yah because they do not serve "God". 

And so we see that by arguing about whether Muslims serve the Creator by using the word "God" we have not actually proved anything. 

But, if we recognize that "Allah" is much closer to "Elohym" than "God" is we have to conclude that any argument based on "Allah" not being "God" is effectively spurious and futile. 

But, since "Allah" is not a real name for Yah just as "Elohym" is not a real name for Yah and "God" is not a real name for Yah it is just as possible that "Allah" can also be appropriated to a demonic or Satanic "deity".

So, it IS possible to find situations in which "Allah" is being applied to a demonic deity or idol or whatever, just because Satan and his cohorts have appropriated error to give them the right to redirect worship and power to one of their deities, just as they have done with "God", "Jesus", etc. 

So, since it is apparent from my own experience that through grace Yah answered me when I believed in "God" there is absolutely no reason why Yah should not extend the same grace to Muslims.

For that matter, since "God" is so far removed from Yah, there is actually no reason why we cannot conclude that Yah might extend grace to those who pray to Him in any number of other names.

To get this point it is vital to recognize that Christianity is a pagan religion that is FAR removed from the true worship of Yah and therefore any opinion that is held by Christians in judgement of other religions must be suspect.

Yah has clearly shown me that there are those that pray to "Allah" who have close relationships with Him, just as there are those who pray to "God" or "the LORD" who have close relationships with Yah.

This grace is rapidly being withdrawn but it still exists to a limited extent.

It particularly applies to people who directly and actively associate the wrong names with extensions such as "the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth", "the Almighty" and suchlike where the amplification of "God" or "Allah" or whatever name that is used makes the focus of the name clear.

Conclusion

It is very clear to me that debate about the false names such as "God", "the LORD" relative to perceived error in others is false and dangerous and can result in people opposing the servants of the Most High Mighty One, Yah the eternally self-existing.

It is also very clear to me from what Yah has shown me that there are Muslims (the word means "one who serves Allah" and by extension "one who serves Yah") who practices Islam ("the service of Allah" and by extension "the service of Yah") who have very close relationships with Yah, love Him deeply and reverence Him sincerely.

To better understand this you might like to read a copy of the Quran and see just how much reverence is given to the Creator and how close the writers of the Quran were to Yah.

The harsh reality is that Yah says that the Muslims are much closer to Him than the Christians and so the Christians in their wars against the Muslims are actually fighting against Yah at a material level!

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and give you peace.

Where is Jesus?

A few days ago I was talking to someone who had misinterpreted something I had said and somehow thought that I was a very weak believer even though presented with solid evidence that I had a long and deep walk with Yah.

Suddenly he asked me "where is Jesus?"

I was a bit thrown but answered without hesitation "seated at the right hand of the Father".

The answer really rocked me:

"No, if you are born again Jesus is living in your heart".

Yah's anger

This answer hit me hard and I felt Yah's anger welling up in me.

Rather than rising to the bait I answered as calmly as I could (I was feeling anything but calm, in fact I was deeply grieved) "as I have told you I have been born again since the age of about thirteen, had a dramatic encounter with the Almighty in 1993 and have been intensely committed to serving Him ever since.  I have absolutely NO doubt whatsoever that I am born again".

We changed the subject.

Yah has made it very clear to me that it is NOT my function to confront people and engage with them in arguments about doctrine.

It is my function to listen to Him and to publish what He gives me and it is up to those who read what I write to distribute the material more widely, turn it into teachings, confront others, etc.  It is very difficult to hear clearly when you are embroiled in turmoil and my gifting is NOT to engage in harsh confrontations.

So, if you are reading this and at some level get the point and agree, the question to you is "if you see value in this article, what will you do to distribute it or its message more widely?"

Satan's lies about Yahooshua {Jesus}

What really shocked me about this incident was that the man concerned was a very mature believer with a strong anointing and a strong ministry with many who follow him, yet he is totally deceived by Satan's lies equating Yahooshua with Yah and breaking the first commandment.

If you have read the articles about the true Names of the Almighty, the name of Yah in the bible, the truth about Yahooshua, etc you will realize that it is the Spirit of Yah that dwells in us and which dwells in Yahooshua and therefore makes those who believe all one with Yah AND Yahooshua and each other.

Blasphemy, counterfeits and apostasy

To suggest that Jesus is living in a person is the height of blasphemy.

About ten years ago Yah told me that He was withdrawing the grace for the false names of God, the LORD, Jesus, Christ, etc and that those people who insisted on continuing to use those names and worship in those names would progressively no longer be answered by Yah but would be answered by demons instead.

Yah also told me that these people would become progressively demonized and the level of deception would increase drastically.

In recent months I have seen this repeatedly.

Seemingly sincere believers worshipping Jesus, equating Jesus with God and the LORD all in one sentence, etc, etc.

I now see that the apostasy (falling away into error) of the Christian church is reaching epidemic proportions and the number who still have some sort of material relationship with Yah is rapidly dwindling.

As far as I can see there are increasing numbers of miracles being performed through counterfeit acts by demons answering to the name of Jesus through withdrawal of illness, etc.

There are increasing levels of false anointing's {Christ's} manifesting – that is – anti-anointing's {anti-Christ's}.

And even the elect are being deceived.

The remnant, those who have NOT fallen into apostasy and error is minute and is shrinking daily.

Yahooshua is NOT coming soon

There is NO WAY Yahooshua is coming soon.

If Yahooshua were to return today almost the entire planet would be tares and goats and there would be virtually no sheep or wheat – if the Day of Judgement were to come today almost the entire population of the planet would find themselves burning in the lake of fire and brimstone, most of them for eternity.

If you are still sitting on the fence with regard to the true names I implore you if you love Yah then change today, else do not claim to love Him – how can one claim to love someone and then call them by an insulting name just because as a consequence of their great love for you they have tolerated your inconsiderate and insulting behaviour for years?

There are reports of Jesus appearing to people and telling them to be ready because he is "coming soon" – these are false manifestation, Yahooshua will not return, if he ever returns, for about one thousand years – between Passover and Pentecost 3003.

Yahooshua clearly stated in Luke 24:47 and elsewhere that the good news of salvation through faith in the covenant through Yahooshua should be preached to the entire world IN HIS NAME.

He did NOT say in the name of Jesus, he said in the name of Yahooshua.

This is certainly NOT happening in this generation and therefore it is apparent that there is NO WAY that Yahooshua will return any time soon.

Added to this it is written that he is "waiting till his enemies are made his footstool" – again, there is no way that Yahooshua's enemies are anywhere near to having been made his footstool – there is a HUGE task ahead of us before Yahooshua can return.

Accordingly I suggest for your prayerful consideration that it is VITAL to stop using the false names and EVEN MORE VITAL to stop worshipping Jesus or Yahooshua IF you are guilty of either of these massive crimes against Yah.

Faith through the covenant through Yahooshua

Regarding faith in the covenant of Yahooshua it is clearly written 1 John 5:13  "These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of Yah [Yahooshua = Yah is salvation]; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of Yah." KJV adjusted

John 3:14-15 "14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." KJV

There are numerous other verses that refer to faith, to eating Yahooshua's flesh and blood – that is partaking of the covenant meal – the bread and wine, being born again – that is receiving an infilling of Yah's Spirit by faith – that is by believing, etc.

Recall also Joel 2:32 "And whoever shall call on the name of Yah the eternally self-existing {the Lord} shall be delivered and saved, for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as Yah the eternally self-existing {the Lord} has said, and among the remnant [of survivors] shall be those whom Yah the eternally self-existing {the Lord} calls."  [Acts 2:17-21; Rom 10:13.]  Amplified bible adjusted.

Salvation is clearly available through faith in Yah and a saving relationship with Yah.

AND Yahooshua came and died in order to make it MUCH easier to have a saving relationship with Yah, in fact it may well be almost impossible in this age to have a saving relationship with Yah apart from the covenant of Yahooshua, but Yah is merciful and oft forgiving so there is no reason why someone who is isolated from the covenant of Yahooshua cannot be saved if they have a deep enough relationship with Yah and earnestly seek to keep the Ten Commandments.

Conclusion

The bottom line?

If you are using the false traditional names of God, the LORD, Jesus and Christ, CEASE today, repent and turn to the true names.

If you are worshipping Jesus, repent and fall on your face before Yah and ask for forgiveness because GREAT WRATH is about to be released on those who continue in this error.

Yah is calling us ALL to clean up our acts, there is NO TIME TO WASTE.

If you have turned from these evil ways, then share the truths regarding the names of Yah, Yahooshua, etc with as many people as you can find to share them with – consider emailing your entire list of contacts – IF you are serious.

* Words in curly brackets {xxx} are words which are commonly used but technically incorrect.  Some of these words are simply incorrect, others like God, the LORD, Jesus are abominations in the sight of the Almighty Creator which He has, in His mercy tolerated up to now but for which grace has now been withdrawn.

In recent months I have been approached by several men on this list for financial help and I am aware of at least one other who is in severe financial difficulties and has lost just about everything.

It is possible there are others on this list with the same problem and it is certainly widespread in the body of believers who qualify to be regarded as part of the remnant – the small number who are truly serving Yah in this age.

The fact is that IF you are really making an effort to serve Yah AND IF you are making a point of using the true names, recognize Yahooshua as a man, observing the true Sabbath, etc you WILL be a point of focus by the enemies of Yah.

IF in addition you are actually trying to do something about this then you WILL battle financially unless you are really diligent in dealing with issues.

By this I mean that you have cut off all curses, including generational curses, have been delivered of all demons that are oppressing you and are NOT walking in manifest sin like "God", "the LORD", "Jesus", worshipping Jesus, adultery, etc.

If you have significant sin in your life then what follows may be relevant BUT in addition to what follows you will need to deal with that sin.

Of course, if you have major sin in your life Satan and his cohorts WILL BLESS you in order to keep you distracted and away from your calling.

In fact, IF you are prospering and you have major error relative to what has been shared on this list in recent months then the chances are you are WELL IN WITH SATAN and you need to look at the flip side of what is dealt with in this article.

This article is directed to those who have set themselves apart, earnestly desire to please Yah and have dealt with the major issues referred to above.  If that is you then there is a high probability that you are going to battle financially unless you deal with the points that follow, which is assuming you are in a covenant union of man and woman {married}.

If you are a single woman you are subject to different conditions but you must then ensure that you are under Father Yah's covering and have dealt with sin, etc.  Keep in mind that there are about seven times as many women as men in the remnant so if you are single you either need to find a single man, few and far between IN the remnant or you must remain single AND celibate.  Do NOT under any circumstances join yourself to an unbelieving man or one who is less mature than you are – Satan will bless you for that but it is a recipe for disaster in terms of your relationship with Yah – remember you must submit to that man even if he beats you.

So, this article is intended for men in covenant with a woman or women who are not walking in financial provision and who have been asking why – it is also relevant to any family who are seeking to walk more closely with Yah.

In order to understand what follows it is vital to understand the full import of covenant and also the one-flesh bond as referred to in the recent article on covenant.

It is repeatedly stated that a man will "cleave" to his woman {wife}, that is cut into the cleft of his woman and the two will become "one-flesh".

Ephesians 5:31 and 32 equate the one-flesh bond between a man and his woman or women as being comparable to the infilling of the set-apart Spirit of Yah in the body of believers – the spirit of the man and woman are merged or joined just as the spirit of the believer is joined to the Spirit of Yah.

We therefore see that the act of sexual union is the MOST IMPORTANT act in a sanctified and set-apart {holy} union {marriage}.

In fact, it is the ONLY thing that Yah restricts to the union between man and woman and it is therefore clearly the most important.

This act builds the house because every time the man or woman experiences a sexual climax (orgasm) there is a transfer of the spirit of the one climaxing to join to the spirit of the partner.

Doing this outside the union on a casual basis or with another partner outside the family unit or with a partner from a forbidden relationship is adultery and doing it wholesale is fornication and is an abomination in the sight of Yah.

Once the one-flesh bond has been formed it cannot be broken except under very special circumstances with very special prayer asking for mercy and grace because of the treachery of one of the partners.

If the man or any of the women in a covenant union have one-flesh bonds outside of that union the house WILL be divided and it will fall.

If you are experiencing financial difficulties and have dealt with obvious sin and curses the next place to look is unresolved one-flesh bonds on the part of man or woman.

In the case of the woman, either she is in adultery in her present union in which case Yah may require that the man in the union put her away and that she return to her man {husband} or if you are certain that Yah has permitted the current union you need to pray to Him to cut the one-flesh bond or bonds.

The prayer takes the form "Father, I come to you in the name of Yahooshua and I acknowledge that I have a one-flesh bond with 'name', I believe that you have permitted me to divorce him and I therefore ask you for mercy that you will cut the one-flesh bond at my end and at his and that you will heal the wounds to our respective spirits.  I ask you also to cut all soul ties between us and to release us both from all vows and promises that we made to each other".

This must be prayed one at a time for every man.  If there are men whose names you cannot remember then list them by situation and if there are so many you cannot remember all the details you must again ask for mercy.

A man can legitimately have more than one one-flesh bond and in such cases will need to deal with each one on a case by case basis.  If you took the virginity of a woman decades ago Yah may still hold you accountable for that woman, no matter how unpalatable that may be to your current woman.  In such cases specific prayer to Yah is called for.  Once you are certain that Yah WILL release you the prayer is similar to that given above.

If there is no legal basis for the divorce the prayer will NOT be granted.  You have NO authority to ask for this, it is an act of Grace and mercy on the part of Yah to release you from legacy one-flesh bonds so you must come humbly and penitently to the throne of grace on this.

Once you have cleaned up the legacy one-flesh bonds there is a possibility that your finances will immediately improve, provided that the issues below have been dealt with.

An important but NOT essential aspect of this is that you should make love regularly and passionately and build the one-flesh bond.  The stronger the bond the easier it is to be in harmony, work together, etc.

It is however possible to see dramatic improvements in finances even if there is NOT a strong one-flesh bond.

If you have dealt with the above issues and there is still financial lack then in my experience of practical and applied learning about these things over a period of over seventeen years it is almost a categorical reality that your house is divided.

MattihYahoo {Matthew} (meaning gift of Yah) 12:25 "And Yahooshua {Jesus} knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:" KJV name adjusted

In my experience this statement is absolute and categoric – it is a fundamental spiritual principle – if the house is divided it CANNOT stand.

By extension, if your house is falling there is a high probability that it is divided.

In the three cases of men on this list mentioned above Yah indicates that in all three cases the woman is NOT in harmony with her man.

Having said this, BEFORE a man assumes that his woman is NOT in harmony with him he needs to do some serious self-examination and some serious praying – I suggest that he should consider a three day total fast (Esther fast – pray to make sure it is Yah's will to do this and monitor health conditions – speak to your doctor if necessary) – no food and no water and, preferably his woman should join him on that fast.

If you have energetically dealt with sin, received ministry to cut off curses from an anointed prophet (NOT easy to find), etc then look to division.

When two sumphoneo = harmonize {agree} on earth it WILL be done

The converse of a house divided is presented by Yahooshua in MattihYahoo 18:19 "Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever [anything and everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven." Amplified bible.

Just as it is certain that a house divided against itself CANNOT stand, so a man and woman in perfect harmony WILL have their prayers answered and this includes financial and other provision.

It is no good agreeing intellectually, the underlying concept here is a symphony orchestra playing in perfect harmony, the same tune in the same key, perfectly.

Having said this, in my experience, even when there is a moderate level of harmony and serious division is dealt with there WILL be an improvement in finances, always assuming you are actively seeking work or marketing and you actively and diligently take whatever work is offered to you and execute that work as a wise steward.

Nothing in this article will help you if you sit at home and do nothing, write begging letters, expect your sheep to support you or whatever – Yah blesses diligence and hard work NOT laziness.

And you need to exercise your faith alongside this but, within reason, this is an absolute law – no division PLUS reasonable harmony = provision.

This works for unbelievers as well – if a man and woman are in harmony and no division they will prosper.

BUT … I hear you cry...

Let us check a few other verses:

Proverbs 14:1 "The wise woman builds her house, But the foolish pulls it down with her hands." NKJV – Yah says that this relates specifically to a woman who rebels against her husband, talks against him, harbours thoughts against him, judges him, etc – she might just as well physically tear her house down.

Proverbs 12:4 "A virtuous and worthy wife [earnest and strong in character] is a crowning joy to her husband, but she who makes him ashamed is as rottenness in his bones." Amplified bible.

This speaks to a spiritual phenomenon that has a physical manifestation.  The man physically feels terrible, weak, out of sorts, irritable, etc.

There is a huge problem today with modern Jezebelic doctrines which blame the man for problems in a union – a woman who behaves badly WILL produce a negative reaction from her man.

Proverbs 21:9 "It is better to dwell in a corner of the housetop [on the flat oriental roof, exposed to all kinds of weather] than in a house shared with a nagging, quarrelsome, and fault-finding woman." Amplified bible.

Proverbs 25:24 "It is better to dwell in the corner of the housetop than to share a house with a disagreeing, quarrelsome, and scolding woman." Amplified bible.

Notable that in four places in Proverbs there are injunctions about the negative behaviour of a woman having a negative effect on her man.

There are NO corresponding verses in the opposite direction!

So we see that the worse the woman behaves the worse the problem becomes and it is so that eventually if the man REALLY seeks to do his best that Yah may eventually authorize putting away {divorce}.

Contrast the above with Proverbs 31:10-24 "10 A capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman — who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls.  [Prov 12:4; 18:22; 19:14.]

11 The heart of her husband trusts in her confidently and relies on and believes in her securely, so that he has no lack of [honest] gain or need of [dishonest] spoil.

12 She comforts, encourages, and does him only good as long as there is life within her.

13 She seeks out wool and flax and works with willing hands [to develop it].

14 She is like the merchant ships loaded with foodstuffs; she brings her household's food from a far [country].

15 She rises while it is yet night and gets [spiritual] food for her household and assigns her maids their tasks.  [Job 23:12.]

16 She considers a [new] field before she buys or accepts it [expanding prudently and not courting neglect of her present duties by assuming other duties]; with her savings [of time and strength] she plants fruitful vines in her vineyard.  [Song 8:12.]

17 She girds herself with strength [spiritual, mental, and physical fitness for her Yah {God}-given task] and makes her arms strong and firm.

18 She tastes and sees that her gain from work [with and for Yah] is good; her lamp goes not out, but it burns on continually through the night [of trouble, privation, or sorrow, warning away fear, doubt, and distrust].

19 She lays her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

20 She opens her hand to the poor, yes, she reaches out her filled hands to the needy [whether in body, mind, or spirit].

21 She fears not the snow for her family, for all her household are doubly clothed in scarlet.  [Josh 2:18,19; Heb 9:19-22.]

22 She makes for herself coverlets, cushions, and rugs of tapestry. Her clothing is of linen, pure and fine, and of purple [such as that of which the clothing of the priests and the hallowed cloths of the temple were made].  [Isa 61:10; 1 Tim 2:9; Rev 3:5; 19:8,14.]

23 Her husband is known in the [city's] gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.  [Prov 12:4.]" Amplified bible

Notice that it is the behaviour of the WOMAN that promotes the man amongst his peers and his community.

So a woman can build or tear down, it is entirely in her hands.

Accordingly, if your house is in financial difficulty I have to say to you, with Yah's approval, "woman look in the mirror and stop blaming your man".

A further verse that speaks to this is Ephesians 5:33 "However, let each man of you [without exception] love his woman {wife} as [being in a sense] his very own self; and let the woman see that she respects and reverences her man [that she notices him, regards him, honors him, prefers him, venerates, and esteems him; and that she defers to him, praises him, and loves and admires him exceedingly]. "Amplified bible adjusted 

The reverse of this is contained in Ephesians 5:25-30 "25 Men {Husbands}, love your woman {wives}, even as the anointed one {Christ} (Yahooshua) also loved the body of believers {church}, and gave himself for it;

26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27 That he might present it to himself a glorious assembly {church}, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be set-apart {holy} and without blemish.

28 So ought men to love their women {wives} as their own bodies. He that loveth his woman {wife} loveth himself.

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the master {Lord} the body of believers {church}:

30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones." KJV adjusted

There is an important principle here.

Man love your woman even if she beats you, abuses you, insults you, etc.

Conversely, man do NOT treat her badly because if you do you will experience rottenness in your bones if she reacts badly and this can cause the situation to spin out of control into a massively destructive spiral – he treats her badly so she treats him badly so he treats her worse so she treats him worse, etc.

The essence of the answer is contained in the message relating to Galatians 2:20 a few weeks ago – executed with Yahooshua, it is no longer I that live but the Spirit of Yah that lives in me.

So we see here that it is vital that the man treats his woman right.

This is amplified and reinforced in 1 Peter 3:7 "In the same way you {married} men should live considerately with [your women {wives}], with an intelligent recognition [of the covenant {marriage} relation], honoring the woman as [physically] the weaker, but [realizing that you] are joint heirs of the grace (Yah's {God's} unmerited favor) of life, in order that your prayers may not be hindered and cut off. [Otherwise you cannot pray effectively.]" Amplified revised.

This is an extension of the principle of a house divided cannot stand.

The man should treat his woman / women considerately and honour them, thereby making it easier for them to be in harmony.

BUT it is important to note that this verse is widely used in modern church circles to fabricate a false doctrine that men should submit to their women.

Note that this is a valid principle – if your woman will not submit to you then you submit to her – the house will not be divided and you will probably prosper.  This is the way that many Christian marriages succeed at present, the man submits to the woman.

It is NOT Yah's plan and if a man does this he is NOT loving as Yahooshua loved, he is setting his woman up for a very severe judgment on the Day of Judgment.

The principle is that the man should treat his woman well and die for her if necessary but NOT that he should compromise on his role as head of the family unit.  A fine line between seeking to do Yah's will and dealing with your own issues as a man and stepping into things which are NOT Yah-like {ungodly}.

The most fundamental point here is that the man should take the lead in getting his life right with Yah, constantly examine himself, deal with his weaknesses, bad habits, etc and then in time Yah will deal with the woman or, in the extreme case, eventually permit the man to put the woman away {divorce her}.

Ephesians 5:24 "Therefore as the church is subject unto the anointing of the Spirit of Yah {Christ}, so let the women {wives} be to their own men {husbands} in everything." KJV adjusted

An even more challenging passage 1 Peter 3:1 referring to 1 Peter 2 which enjoins us to submit to those in authority even as Yahooshua did when they beat him, abused him, executed him unjustly, etc enjoins the woman to in like manner submit to their men:

1 Peter 3:1-6 "1 IN LIKE manner, you {married} women, be submissive to your own men {husbands} [subordinate yourselves as being secondary to and dependent on them, and adapt yourselves to them], so that even if any do not obey the Word [of Yah {God}], they may be won over not by discussion but by the [Yah-like {godly}] lives of their wives,

2 When they observe the pure and modest way in which you conduct yourselves, together with your reverence [for your man {husband}; you are to feel for him all that reverence includes: to respect, defer to, revere him — to honor, esteem, appreciate, prize, and, in the human sense, to adore him, that is, to admire, praise, be devoted to, deeply love, and enjoy your man {husband}].

3 Let not yours be the [merely] external adorning with [elaborate]  interweaving and knotting of the hair, the wearing of jewelry, or changes of clothes;

4 But let it be the inward adorning and beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which [is not anxious or wrought up, but] is very precious in the sight of Yah {God}.

5 For it was thus that the pious women of old who hoped in Yah {God} were [accustomed] to beautify themselves and were submissive to their men {husbands} [adapting themselves to them as themselves secondary and dependent upon them].

6 It was thus that Sarah obeyed Abraham [following his guidance and acknowledging his headship over her by] calling him lord (master, leader, authority). And you are now her true daughters if you do right and let nothing terrify you [not giving way to hysterical fears or letting anxieties unnerve you]" Amplified bible adjusted.

To paraphrase "woman love your man and submit to him even if he beats you and treats you terribly".

This is NOT an excuse for the man to treat his woman badly – notice that the man should love the woman even if she treats him badly, just as Yahooshua died for the body of believers and the woman should love the man even if he treats her badly just as Yahooshua submitted to those who tortured him and executed him – it is a fine balance and if BOTH the man and the woman walk in this THEN you WILL bring heaven to earth in your covenant union {marriage} and you will prosper.

There is a challenging and little understood principle contained in these passages.

Remember that in 1 Corinthians 11:3 it states "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is the anointed one {Christ} (Yahooshua); and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of the anointed one {Christ} (Yahooshua) is Yah {God}." KJV adjusted

Thus the man covers the woman just as Yahooshua covers the man and is covered by Yah.

The only way these verses can work in practice is if the woman submits to the man in everything, including in his doctrinal error!

Many will see this as totally out of line but if you think it through and pray it through you will find that there is only one way these verses can be made to work, by the woman submitting to the man in EVERYTHING and that includes if he is in gross sin or gross error – she must leave it to Yah to protect her and correct her man.

BUT, if she joined herself to that man in rebellion against the leading of the Spirit of Yah then she may have to walk out a long and painful road as a consequence of that error.

Eventually Yah may permit her to divorce or may slay the man or may do  dramatic things to bring the husband to repentance and turn around BUT in the interim Yah clearly expects her to submit to her man even if he physically abuses her and beats her.

I once heard the testimony of a powerful evangelist who came to a saving knowledge of Yah after his woman died in total submission to him – he forced her into drug addiction and prostitution and eventually beat her to death but in all this she loved him and submitted to him and it was as a consequence of the way she behaved right to the moment of her death that brought him to conviction and repentance.

THAT is what Yah expects of a woman who is truly committed to serving Him – therefore woman do NOT join yourself to a man UNLESS you are totally certain that it is Yah's will AND you are totally prepared to submit to him in EVERYTHING!

Remember ALSO that Isaiah 4:1 clearly indicates that there will be seven times more women than men in the remnant of true believers in the end of the age.  Casual inspection indicates up to ten times more women than men in some anointed and gentle assemblies.

So, if you are a single believing woman you should consider the very real prospect that you will have to remain celibate for the rest of your life because, certainly in societies indoctrinated by Western Christian values, women cannot conceivably tolerate the idea of sharing their man.  They would rather see a sister perish than share their man.  Satan has done an excellent job of programming women to be incapable of tolerating the idea of sharing their man and in my experience it is almost beyond the bounds of possibility to put this into practice in many societies that have strong Christian influences.

So.

You can do all sorts of things by faith, you can tithe consistently, do all sorts of good works, be rigorous in seeking and following truth, observe the Sabbaths of Yah, eschew the false pagan holidays, use the true names, worship Yah alone and honour Yahooshua as a very special prophet and first born from the dead, etc and if your house is divided it WILL FALL.

The closer you get to Yah; the more you seek to know Him and His ways and His kingdom and His commandments and laws the MORE Satan and the forces of darkness WILL focus intense attention on you and seek to destroy you.

They will go all out to bring division.

They will look for even the smallest crack between a man and a woman and exploit it to attack you, secure judgments against you and take you apart financially and in numerous other ways.

One of the areas they will seek to attack is the sexual relationship.

As we have seen that sexual love making is the highest form of spiritual activity on earth after worship of and service to Yah.  Yah gave it as a means to build a strong one-flesh bond and a secure house and Satan has gone all out to ensure that believers have weird and prudish ideas about sexual love making and have weak one-flesh bonds.  Passionate, caring, loving sexual love making in which the woman plays a key creative and initiating role can make a significant difference in achieving unity and harmony – it is much easier to be in harmony with someone you are passionately in love with and with whom you regularly make passionate love than with someone you tolerate in your bed because you have to.

Conclusion

Yah is calling us ALL to clean up our acts, there is NO TIME TO WASTE.

If you are serious about serving Yah you need to clean up your spiritual house if you are a man and woman in covenant – you cannot be truly effective UNLESS you are in a high level of harmony and are therefore able to do great exploits for the Kingdom of Yah.

Several times in recent weeks i have thought about the issue of the vast majority of those who call themselves believers sitting passively waiting to be fed and being referred to as sheep.

Recently I received some personal ministry from an anointed believer in a formal international ministry who, notwithstanding my mentioning that I had a prophetic ministry, had published over 10,000 pages of prophetic analysis, etc and had a mailing list that had been running for a decade thought it important to encourage me to become part of a local church because on some basis that was not clear I needed to be there.

This notwithstanding experience which teaches i would be in conflict with false doctrine almost from day one and that Yah clearly told me to "come out of her" about ten years ago and has kept me isolated from the formal church ever since.

If you will have it, the church today is "Babylon" and the "great harlot" -- NOT the Catholic church as some would have but the ENTIRE formal church whatever label they apply to themselves -- they are using idolatrous names, worshipping Yahooshua and the book, observing the false Sabbath, have defiled the set apartness {holiness / sanctity} of virginity through monogamous marriage laws, etc, etc

So, when I received the email below it rang a chord.

While I do not agree with everything that is said and the way certain things are languaged (refer article on "Seek truth not error") this message has some important points.

In particular, if you have been a believer for more than a couple of years and you are not actively engaged in some form of ministry you need to be aware that you will receive a stern rebuke on the Day of Judgment and that accordingly YOU personally need to seek Yah to tell you what He expects of you.

Note also that in these days it is UNLIKELY that Yah has a salaried job for you -- He almost certainly expects you to have a job to support yourself and NOT rely on handouts from Him or anyone else -- very few have the level of faith, level of anointing and type of ministry where supernatural financial provision is likely -- plan to support yourself.

Clergy versus laity

by

Russ Clarke -- rcmworldwide@gmail.com

One of the greatest lies widespread throughout the Church today is the line that separates clergy from the laity. There is no such line because there is no such divide. Do you not see segregation within your Church? Let us first start with titles. Go with me to Ephesians 4:11:

And His gifts were [varied; He Himself appointed and gave men to us] some to be apostles (special messengers), some Prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, travelling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and teachers.

Notice the scripture says to be not to be called. The word pastor within this verse is not capitalised because it is not a title, it is a gifting that comes from God.  Why is it then that we have men and women walking around Churches bearing the title of pastor? Why are these people allowing themselves to be raised up on a pedestal by encouraging people to address them as such? Come with me to Matthew 23:8-12:

But you are not to be called rabbi (teacher), for you have one Teacher and you are all brothers. And do not call anyone [in the church] on earth father, for you have one Father, Who is in heaven. And you must not be called masters (leaders), for you have one Master (Leader), the Christ. He who is greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself [with haughtiness and empty pride] shall be humbled (brought low), and whoever humbles himself [whoever has a modest opinion of himself and behaves accordingly] shall be raised to honour.

Jesus clearly warns us here NOT to use titles and is also very clear that anyone who exalts themselves to some lofty position shall be bought low and humbled, yet whoever humbles themselves shall be raised to honour. If all five avenues mentioned in Eph 4:11 are giftings then why is pastor used as a title? If someone is introduced as Pastor Smith why not Apostle Smith or Prophet Smith or Evangelist Smith or Teacher Smith? It is plain ludicrous. To take a title is to put a dividing line between you and other people, we are all one in Christ Jesus and He shows no partiality to anyone.

Galatians 3:28

There is [now no distinction] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is not male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 2:6

Moreover, [no new requirements were made] by those who were reputed to be something--though what was their individual position and whether they really were of importance or not makes no difference to me; God is not impressed with the positions that men hold and He is not partial and recognizes no external distinctions--those [I say] who were of repute imposed no new requirements upon me [had nothing to add to my Gospel, and from them I received no new suggestions].

I would like to refer to Galatians 3:28 above again as I believe it is a vital verse of scripture. We need to make one thing clear from the outset, WE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST JESUS! Yes we have different gifts and roles within the body of Christ but each is as important as the other and none is worth more or less than the other.

1 Corinthians 12:14-21 (Read the whole chapter for more understanding)

For the body does not consist of one limb or organ but of many. If the foot should say, Because I am not the hand, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body? If the ear should say, Because I am not the eye, I do not belong to the body, would it be therefore not [a part] of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where [would be the sense of] hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where [would be the sense of] smell? But as it is, God has placed and arranged the limbs and organs in the body, each [particular one] of them, just as He wished and saw fit and with the best adaptation. But if [the whole] were all a single organ, where would the body be? And now there are [certainly] many limbs and organs, but a single body. And the eye is not able to say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.

So why is this not at work in the Church? What happens mainly is, the front row of the seating area is reserved for the Pastors and leadership team (Clergy), and maybe the Worship Pastor too. All the other seats are filled with the congregation or The Laity who come most likely just to listen, not having spend any time themselves  in preparation before the Lord before coming to Church because in their eyes as they have also most certainly been led to believe, those at the front do all the ministering. The congregation sit, listen, put money in the pot, smile, shake hands with a few people, have coffee and a chat whilst The Pastor does his rounds, then go home for Sunday roast. This about sums up life in Church.  Today I want to tell all those who have been duped into believing that they are mere spectators in a congregation , that it is a lie and all those who have been made to believe that attending the car park, making the tea/coffee, cleaning the toilets, welcoming people on the door, attending lifts etc etc are actual ministries!! Do you seriously believe that Christ suffered torture and agony, dying on the cross in utter humiliation so you could spend your life believing that your call in life from Him was to make coffee?? We must understand that serving in these areas is a good thing, we should all partake in these tasks within our fellowships including the Pastors,  yet to believe they are what God has given us to do as a ministry is error.

So who are we? Lets look at the first chapter of 1 Corinthians. In verse 2, Paul addresses his letter to The Church assembly which is in Corinth, which includes everyone. Look at vv 4-6:

I thank my God at all times for you because of the grace (the favour and spiritual blessing) of God which was bestowed on you in Christ Jesus, [So] that in Him in every respect you were enriched, in full power and readiness of speech [to speak of your faith] and complete knowledge and illumination [to give you full insight into its meaning]. In this way [our] witnessing concerning Christ (the Messiah) was so confirmed and established and made sure in you

Remember Paul is addressing the whole Church assembly, NOT only those leading. God has enabled us all in the power of the Holy Spirit to speak of our faith. Notice Paul says In this way. In the very same enablement of power through the Holy Spirit, the Church in Corinth was born. Through the seeking of God and through His leading and power, what is stopping you birthing a Church? Come with me now to verse 9:

God is faithful (reliable, trustworthy, and therefore ever true to His promise, and He can be depended on); by Him you were called into companionship and participation with His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Everyone born again of the Spirit of Jesus Christ is called into companionship and participation. We are not called to fill seats or make up the numbers. If we are a companion we walk with that person closely, not from afar off and if we are close we will be involved in what that person is involved in...Participation! What should we participate in? Through the shedding of His blood, His death and resurrection, Jesus paid the debt we owed yet couldnt pay and appeased the righteous wrath of God and through true repentance and submission to the Son, we are justified, forgiven, cleared of guilt and stand before Him as righteous heirs to the throne. If we have truly accepted Gods free grace, how can we not but tell of it? Again, what should we participate in? We must preach the Gospel! Yes all of us. You may say I am not a preacher but God answers Will what is formed say to him that formed it, Why have you made me thus? (Romans 9:20). Go back again to Eph 4:11. The 5 avenues of gifting are Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, Evangelist and Teacher. Where is the preacher? Every born again believer fits in to at least one of these avenues. Can we be an apostle and not preach? Does a Prophet not preach? Does a Pastor not preach? Does an Evangelist not preach? Does a Teacher teach but not preach? Preaching the Gospel is a command to All who believe (Mark 16:15-20). Take a look at verse21 of 1 Corinthians 1:

For when the world with all its earthly wisdom failed to perceive and recognize and know God by means of its own philosophy, God in His wisdom was pleased through the foolishness of preaching [salvation, procured by Christ and to be had through Him], to save those who believed (who clung to and trusted in and relied on Him).

It is through the preaching of the Gospel that God saves. Verse 18 tells us the message of the cross is absurd to those who are perishing but to those who are being saved it is the manifestation of the power of God. And again in verse 24, to those who are called, whether Jew or Greek (gentile), Christ is the power of God and the Wisdom of God.

My dear friends, this message could go on and on but I want to encourage you to go to the Word of God to check over these things and to find out for yourselves more about who you are and what He has destined you to be. Dont any longer be a statistic only, dont be a seat warmer, let the Word of God dwell in you richly (Colossians 3:16) enabling you to teach and train one another in spiritual things. You werent born to merely serve in the Church coffee shop, or to smile broadly whilst attending lifts, or clear up after the service whilst the Pastors sip coffee. You were born to be a preacher of righteousness, to serve the living God, to be a King and Priest, part of the royal priesthood and Holy nation (1 Peter 2:9), to build and stir one another up (Hebrews 10:24-25), to go out and preach everywhere the Gospel of Jesus Christ, heal the sick, raise the dead (Mark 16:15-20), to know Him for yourselves (Philippians 3:7-14).

Read 1 Timothy 4; Ephesians 1:3-ch 2:10

Ephesians 4:11-12 (Amplified Bible)

And His gifts were [varied; He Himself appointed and gave men to us] some to be apostles (special messengers), some prophets (inspired preachers and expounders), some evangelists (preachers of the Gospel, travelling missionaries), some pastors (shepherds of His flock) and teachers. His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ's body (the church),

2 Timothy 1:6-9 (Amplified Bible)

That is why I would remind you to stir up (rekindle the embers of, fan the flame of, and keep burning) the [gracious] gift of God, [the inner fire] that is in you by means of the laying on of my hands [with those of the elders at your ordination]. For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control. Do not blush or be ashamed then, to testify to and for our Lord, nor of me, a prisoner for His sake, but [with me] take your share of the suffering [to which the preaching] of the Gospel [may expose you, and do it] in the power of God. [For it is He] Who delivered and saved us and called us with a calling in itself holy and leading to holiness [to a life of consecration, a vocation of holiness]; [He did it] not because of anything of merit that we have done, but because of and to further His own purpose and grace (unmerited favour) which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began [eternal ages ago].

Love in Christ

The Word of the Lord (divine instruction, the Gospel) endures forever. And this Word is the good news which was preached to you. (1 Peter 1:25 Amplified Version)
