When did the “New Testament” begin?

YESHUA QUOTES THE Old Testament AS HIS AUTHORITY:

Yeshua quoted from 24 different Old Testament books

LUKE 24: 25-27: Yeshua, on the road to Emmaus, said this:

 ”Then He said to them, O fools, and slow of lev [heart] to believe all that the neviim [Prophets] have spoken, did not the Moshiach have to suffer all these things, in Order to enter into His tifereth [Glory]?

 And beginning at Moshe Rabainu [Rabbi Moses] and all the neviim [Prophets], He expounded to them in all the Keetvay HaKadosh [Holy Tanakh/Torah Scriptures and the prophetic OT Scriptures], the things concerning Himself.”

Yeshua/Jesus had NO NEW TESTAMENT to quote or to prove anything about himself. He had His Fathers “OLD” Testament, the Hebrew Scriptures, as his only authoritative prooftexts. It was quite adequate for Him. The New Testament did NOT EXIST until about 400 years later as approved Roman Catholic Church Canon! The Catholic Church was the only world church at that time and up until the “Reformation”. Therefore, any church that states it is “New Testament ONLY” has no biblical base root and cannot be Christian because it has effectively denied its Hebrew Tanakh [OT] root reason for existence and can prove nothing of its false assertions. It is a “house built on sand” and will die a slow suicide in good time. The New Testament quotes the Tanakh, the Hebrew Scriptures, extensively as its AUTHORITY, thereby following Yeshua’s lead.

When one begins with a false premise based upon a biased preconceived worldview; then everything downstream of that premise will also be wrong. It matters not if that sideroad is learned from other theory-logians or cooked up by the individual him/her-self; it is still wrong. Remember Einstein’s prophetic words, “The problems in the world today are so enormous they cannot be solved with the level of thinking that created them.” This includes religious thought, doctrines, dogma, draculated governments and the rabbinic traditions of men. Intentionally trapping oneself in a Hegelian Dichotomy bus sliding down a slope of Entropy with no brakes, guarantees mediocrity at best and the death of creativity at worst. As it is said, “You cannot enroll a duck into a school for eagles.” However, if your initial premise is correct and it is in accordance with the plan and the pathway of the Almighties writing of the 5 books of the Torah through Moses and the eternal Appointed Feasts of Yahweh that YHWH God gave to Moses on the Mountain in Leviticus 23, and it is being fulfilled and executed by The Living Torah, Yeshua, our Messiah through His 5 Gospels; then your premise will be executed in the greatest story ever told, and you will see your life story and your fondest hopes play out.

“The Birth of the Man-Child” scriptures

The birth of the Man-child is different from that usually given in Christian Churches: but let the reader consider if the view, which I have taken, does not meet all the requirements of the biblical case. I think there will be but few who will assent to the opinion of many theologians, which in substance amounts to this, that the Man-child was the Roman Emperor and First Pope, Constantine 1st the Great, and that when Christianity, in his person sat down on the throne of Imperial Rome, that was the fulfilment of the saying, that the child brought forth by the woman, amid such pangs of travail, was “caught up to God and His throne.” When Constantine 1st came to the Roman Empire, the Proto Church indeed, as foretold in Daniel 11:34, “was holpen with a little help”, but that was all. The Christianity of Pope Constantine was but of a very doubtful kind, the Pagans seeing nothing in it to hinder them, but that when Constantine died, he should be enrolled among their gods. (EUTROPIUS) But even though it had been better, the description of the woman’s child is far too high for Constantine, or any Christian emperor or Pope that succeeded him on the imperial throne of Rome, both in the secular and spiritual Empires.

“The Man-child, born to rule all nations with a rod of iron,” is unequivocally Yeshua/Jesus Christ (see Psalms 2:9; Rev 19:15). True believers, as one with Him in a subordinate sense, share in that honor (Rev 2:27); but to Yeshua/Jesus Christ alone, properly, does that prerogative belong; and I think it must be evident that it is His birth that is here referred to. But those who have contended for this view have done injustice to their cause by representing this passage as referring to His literal birth in Bethlehem. When Yeshua, our Messiah, was born in Bethlehem, no doubt King Herod, the Edomite appointee of Rome endeavored to cut Him off, and of course, Herod was a subject King of the Roman Empire. But it was not from any respect to Caesar that he did so, but simply from fear of danger to his own dignity as the Roman Emperor, Caesar, appointed King of Judea. So little did Caesar sympathize with the slaughter of the children of Bethlehem to Moloch/Nimrod, pagan god of Herod, the Arab, that it is recorded that Augustus, on hearing of it, remarked that it was “better to be Herod’s hog than to be his child.” (MACROBIUS, Saturnalia) Then, even if it were admitted that Herod’s bloody attempt to cut off the infant Saviour was symbolized by the Roman dragon, “standing ready to devour the child as soon as it should be born,” where was there anything that could correspond to the statement that the child, to save it from that dragon, “was caught up to God and His Throne”? The flight of Joseph and Mary with the Child into Egypt could never answer to such language, but was the fulfillment of Tanakh prophecy anyway. Moreover, it is worthy of special note, that when the Lord Jesus was born in Bethlehem, He was born, in a very important sense, only as “King of the Jews.” “Where is He that is born King of the Jews?” was the inquiry of the wise men that came from the East to seek Him. All His life long, He appeared in no other character; and when He died, the inscription on His Roman cross of Sol Invicta Mithras ran in these terms: “This is the King of the Jews.” Now, this was no accidental thing. Paul tells us in Romans 15:8, “Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision (Jews) for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers.”  The “Fathers” were the same patriarchs of the Tanakh (OT) listed in Hebrews 11, the Bibles hall of fame. Our Lord Himself plainly declared the same thing. “I am not sent,” said He to the Syrophoenician woman, “save to the lost sheep of the house of Israel”; and, in sending out His disciples during His personal ministry, this was the charge which He gave them: “Go not in the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not.” It was only when He was “begotten from the dead,” and “declared to be the Son of God with power,” by His victory over the grave, that He was revealed as “the Man-child, born to rule all nations.” Then said He to His disciples, when He had risen, and was about to ascend on high: “All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth: go ye therefore, and teach all nations.” To this glorious “birth” from the tomb, and to the birth pangs of His future Church that preceded it, our Lord Himself made distinct allusion on the night before He was betrayed.

(John 16:20-22)

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice; and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a MAN is born into the world. And ye now therefore have sorrow; but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice.”

Here the grief of the apostles, and, of course, all the true Proto Church that sympathized with them during the hour and power of darkness, is compared to the pangs of a travailing woman; and their joy, when the Saviour should see them again after His resurrection, to the joy of a mother when safely delivered of a Man-child. Can there be a doubt, then, what the symbol before us means, when the woman is represented as travailing in pain to be delivered of a “Man-child, that was to rule all nations,” and when it is said that that “Man-child was caught up to God and His Throne”?

No, friends, the New Testament did NOT begin at Matthew 1:1, but at the Roman cross of the sungod, Mithras! The death, burial and resurrection of Yeshua, our Messiah began the New Testament IN HIS BLOOD SHED FOR US. Therefore, ALL OF THE GOSPELS prior to the CROSS-, were OLD TESTAMENT scriptures. There is no other conclusion that can be drawn from the text itself and by all of Yeshua’s words. Yeshua was born as a Jew of the tribe of Judah, Attended Hebrew school as a boy under the brilliant Sage, Rabbi Hillel, lived as a Jewish ordained Rabbi and taught His Jewish Talmudim followers in the Old Testament traditional Midrashic style of teaching all of His life. Three “Sabra” (Born as) Jews wrote the 4 Gospels plus the inclusion of one Jewish convert that was trained and thoroughly versed in the Tanakh (OT) from his childhood, Lukas. All of them taught under the authority of the Tanakh and the Torah and defended it under the aegis of the Living Torah, Yeshua, as the Son of Almighty God. Again, He created the New Testament in His shed blood and filled up in himself, Jeremiah 31: 31-37. That Tanakh predicted New Covenant was made with Israel, Judah and their companions, and not the Gentiles.

Only the GRAFTED IN Gentiles were included in the Roman Cross generated New Covenant as Yeshua/Jesus stated earlier in this article as a quote of His words, “I have not been sent except to…”

Why then, would all modern Bibles and their following of theologian revisionists get it wrong? Because New Testament Bibles are a product of many centuries of Roman Catholic revisionism! Protestant translators slavishly following the Vatican line followed this format, but they forgot one thing. They recorded the words of Yeshua/Jesus faithfully and the Word from the Son confirmed the Word of His Father, and also the Apostles followed their Rabbi, Yeshua, and thereby set scriptural truth in eternity for us to profit thereby. Praise the NAME of Yeshua!

Ancient Words from YHWH that fit today’s news

“Why do the righteous suffer?”

PSALM 12

A psalm of David: Help, YAHWEH! For no one godly is left; the faithful have vanished from humankind. They all tell lies to each other, flattering with their lips, but speaking from divided hearts. May YAHWEH cut off all flattering lips and the tongue that speaks so proudly, those who say, “By our tongues, we will prevail; our lips are with us. Who can master us?” “Because the poor are oppressed, because the needy are groaning, I will now rise up,” says YAHWEH, “and grant security to those whom they scorn.”

The words of YAHWEH are pure words, silver in a melting pot set in the earth, refined and purified seven times over. You, YAHWEH, protect us; guard us forever from this generation. The wicked strut about everywhere when vileness is held in general esteem.

Comment:  The most vile and despicable people of society now gloat over their victories for licentiousness, favorable rulings by the courts, freedom to parade their depravity before everyone in public; such as the despicable “gay pride” parades in the city streets.  Anyone who has a shred of decency retches at the filth and despairs of even the survival of a generation that is learning from such depravity and viewing it as acceptable behavior.  Those in leadership of the nation who are in agreement with such vileness cause the people to sin, just as the ancient kings of Israel did evil in the sight of Yahweh and caused “all Israel to sin.”

Judgment will be severe on any nation that struts around in pride over their most disgusting practices.

If Yahweh’s people have not opposed the steady decline in morals up to this point, then the adversary has had a clear battlefield, an established beachhead and now a stronghold that would require extreme measures to destroy. 

The so-called people of God have shrunk back in fear of the PC establishment and have lost even their own children into the quagmire of the sewer with its sticky footing, which includes the many forms of fornication with its severe punishment by the Almighty.  Not only heterosexual promiscuity leading to unwanted pregnancies leading to abortion, but also including terminal diseases and all the natural punishments that follow this gross sin.  The people of God choose to deny and hide from the sins that produce these awful judgments and choose only one outcome (abortion), and march, write, cry and wail over this suicidal genocide.  Never mind that young people are allowed more freedom at earlier ages in which to seek mischief, more latitude in shameless parading of partial nudity along with lewd behavior and language.  Boys are not trained to be respectful toward young girls or to restrain their animal urges; instead they are encouraged to bed as many females as they can without reprimand.  It is so much easier to do as Adam did and say, “…it is this woman…” who made me do it.   Males who indiscriminately deposit their seed wherever they can are a very large part of the problem, but one mostly ignored, and the blame is put on the female.  Females are guilty, indeed, but not alone.  Lacking the true, pure parental love and understanding, they often seek love and acceptance elsewhere.  Males are very accomplished liars and aggressors in matters of satisfying their lusts, and females very gullible in searching for their fulfillment.  Both genders must be trained as soon as language is understood that a human being is to live life on a plane above the jungle animals.

Now, people report seeing baby showers in neighborhoods and even in churches where unwed pregnant girls are encouraged by being provided everything needed for their illegitimate expected offspring.  Of course, the male half of the equation is absent, and scouting for his next victim, boasting to his friends of his many conquests, accepting none of the responsibility for the result.  If abortion is chosen as a solution, he is often the one who pays the abortionist in order to escape his “inconvenience” and having his freedom to continue to fornicate at will, unhampered.  His actions are usually paraded as acceptable and responsible by this perverse generation.

Psalm 15

A psalm of David: YAHWEH, who can rest in your tent? Who can live on your holy mountain? Those who live a blameless life, who behave uprightly, who speak truth from their hearts and keep their tongues from slander; who never do harm to others or seek to discredit neighbors; who look with scorn on the vile, but honor those who fear YAHWEH; who hold to an oath, no matter the cost; who refuse usury when they lend money and refuse a bribe to damage the innocent. Those who do these things never will be moved.

Comment:  Does this not describe the present situation reported by today’s news in America?  Holding to an oath would include acting honorably toward one who is promised love.  Even if it is inconvenient to behave morally, nothing less is acceptable.  Today’s people have no regard for responsible action.  “If it feels good, do it” is the present day PC mantra. It feels good to criticize others while ignoring ones own sins and errors. Blaming others for the ills of society feels good to most people, but searching one’s own heart to see where we fall short is uncomfortable and is avoided like the plague. 

There will be a time of weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth, not only for the blatantly evil, but for those who say they are God’s people and who chose to do nothing except point fingers at others while hiding secret sins in their own lives.  Slander is rampant today in every segment of society and will have to be answered.  In order to be secure in ones place with the righteous, all these things need to be seriously considered, not just the sins of “others”, but our own as well.

A MAN OR A CHILD?

1 Corinthians 13:11 say: “When I was a child, I spoke like a child,

thought like a child, and argued like a child; now that I have become a man,

I have finished with childish ways. (CJB)

“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.”  (Proverbs 23:7)

It would seem that in America today, most men have not matured into real men with all the historical and biblical attributes and responsibilities of men, but instead, have remained as little children, clinging to mothers apron strings in a literal fashion, allowing themselves to be ruled by motherly women who generally have been abused by evil men and have a deep seated hatred and distrust of men in general. The Feminist movement influences these societal and statistical majorities of unwed, single by choice or divorced mothers, which lifestyle model they follow is an influential branch of socialistic communism. The sons, unexposed to biblically based male role models, become feminized in mindset, which is displayed in a twisted, ineffective life, many times accompanied by drugs, alcohol, lost work ethic and smoking, all sins against the body and soul. Living with mother, using her money and resources and being fed and cared for by her alone, finishes off any thoughts of male ambition, independent thought or job seeking skills in these overage male children.

This childish unscriptural behavior is the twisted legacy of physically gown men in a society in which boys grow up under American new normal “single” mother ruled households and these men remain immature under households where no physical or any spiritual father figure is present as a male role model in accordance with biblical standards that are set by God Almighty. As a matter of fact, these men generally reject any father figure that is possibly presented to mom’s life as a real threat to both themselves and to their mother’s role as the sole provider of their life of comfortable complacency. One does not upset the applecart of the matronly mother controlled sole authority position of the “good” life.

“The sins of the fathers are visited upon the children, unto the third and fourth generation” is a Proverb of truth in America and is being fulfilled in our present generation of Boy/Men with the majority of these overage juvenile delinquents falling under the Satanically created gap between reality and deception.

Relying on mom to supply all their needs and comforts of home is a denial of manhood in general, leaving these deceived ones free to pursue loose women, various mind numbing drugs and like minded other juvenile sports loving drinking friends as a support group, thereby justifying the twisted mindset of those lost souls living in mommies created comfort zone.

The uncaring, and God cursing attitude of these children does not lead to repentance, the first step toward salvation in Yeshua, whom these men despise, along with scripture itself.

My father was such a man from a “Victorian” cultish feminist woman dominated home with no scriptural male role model, but an absent, spiritually and alcoholic father, and thus he spent a lifetime of hating God and even denying salvation through Jesus on his deathbed with but minutes to live. He was an intelligent, articulate man with many friends, all of whom hated the Almighty creator and religion in general, but who were sport loving men that pursued pleasure and “silly captive” women for “manhood’s” sake. I spoke to him often about God and the plan of salvation, but got no response but an immediate and curt shutdown of any discourse at all. The only time I ever heard him curse was when I mentioned God or Jesus.

This is the new pagan Manchild of America today.

This is the boy by choice, the product of a broken society and who is also the legacy of broken homes throughout this fractured nation of broken antibiblical relationships.

As we are now entering the end times, the “Acharit Hayamim”, can this sorry broken nation be repaired? I do not think so!

As the Almighty killed off all of the rebellious generation in the Wilderness and allowed only a new uncorrupted generation to enter the Promised Land, so also will God deal with these present “froward and untoward” generations of today, wandering about in a godless wilderness of Sin.

Hopefully walking on the road to Emmaus,

RUNNING ON INERTIA

By: Sheriff Jim R. Schwiesow, retired

 THE WAY OF THE FORMER ROMAN EMPIRE IS THE WAY OF THE UNITED STATES

The United States could correctly be likened to a huge glacier that has – through the years of its being – run a broad and seemingly non interruptible course through the world panorama, a course that emphasized its power and magnificence and illumined a connected series of divinely enhanced events, actions and developments throughout its diachronic existence. Unfortunately there has also been concomitantly a broad and morality dissipating U.S. national progression that has extraordinarily eroded its base and shorn from it the last steadying vestiges of the anchoring social and spiritual appendages that brought it into being and helped greatly to steady the journey and to stabilize the course of the whole of the mass. 

The United States now rests on the precipice of last hope, overlooking a sheer chasm of despair, and struggles frantically to hang on to the last vestiges of promise as it struggles against a nation of a collectively polluted morality and clings to a now mostly vanished – and neigh onto impossible to recover – given the apostasy that is upon it – promise of its former glory and greatness. With a will born of desperation the people and their political leaders cling to a grudging hold on the nation’s former glory. Like that glacier previously mentioned this nation is slipping from that last desperate grip and is poised for a final slide into the boiling brine that will forever dissolve its greatness and dissipate into nothingness the residuals of its former glory and magnificence.

It will be an ignoble end to a greatly noble dream. As with Jericho, God has set into motion the cadence of that final march around the borders of this nation that will precipitate the collapse and eternal extinction of what was arguably the greatest nation to ever exist on this earth. The nation runs wobbly on, but its continuance is mostly fueled by the illustriousness of its previous existence and glory, in other words an inertia born of God’s divinely and blessedly bestowed gift of magnificence and prominence.    

SECULAR HUMANISM – A BLUEPRINT FOR DISASTER

The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, while the soul of the diligent is richly supplied. Proverbs 13:4

For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies. Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living. 2 Thessalonians 3:11-12

Rise up, you women who are at ease, hear my voice; you complacent daughters, give ear to my speech. In little more than a year you will shudder, you complacent women; for the grape harvest fails, the fruit harvest will not come. Tremble, you women who are at ease, shudder, you complacent ones; strip and make yourselves bare, and tie sackcloth around your waist. Beat your breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine, for the soil of my people growing up in thorns and briers, yes, for all the joyous houses in the exultant city… Isaiah 32:9-20

Upon close inspection intelligent thinking people ought to be able to discern the source of the liberal/progressive ideology, it is an ideology spawned by the demonic realm under the auspices of that dragon of old, Satan, and it has been diligently pursued by our exceedingly ignorant politicians as a birthright and as a cradle to grave doctrine emphasizing a person’s supposed innate capacity for self-realization. This, though none can exist or prosper without the staying hand of God…None!

Man was created in the image of God. God hates sloth and feigned whining helplessness; He has equipped mankind with the tools to make His world one of worth and great dignity. Satan, who looks upon men as usurpers of what he believes to be rightfully his, despises mankind and continually endeavors to eliminate the whole of mankind from God’s creation. In the United States he has made great headway in this quest…thanks to the liberal/progressive community, particularly the satanically endowed Elite and the collective of spiritually deprived politicians who carry out the debilitating programs hatched in the mind of Satan, the greatest criminal in the Universe.  

CORRUPTING THE YOUTH

Our youths – those who were fortunate to escape the butchering hands of the filthy abortionists, and from equally despicable mothers who deliver them up as sacrifices to the idols of worldly and temporal desires, are increasingly being abandoned by non nurturing parents to the inducements of progressively promoted socially destructive pursuits. These young people enter communities as dominates of the political and social secular humanists who immerse them into the nasty and debilitating vices promoted by the now dominant corporate elite that fancies itself, as a whole, as our social authoritarian motivator.

These unfortunate young people are enrolled into public schools and indoctrinated, Kindergarten through College, in the corrupting values of these same conscientious less and irreverent liberalists; they learn to live on the dole and expect that the necessities and luxuries of life will be handed them on a Silver platter by an ever increasingly indebted society.

They are possessors of totally worthless liberal arts degrees paid for by the taxpayers, and must after graduation live either on their parents or on the welfare dole. They have learned nothing in regard to useful trades and believe that the world owes them a living and a cushy life at the expense of the hard- working industrious souls that pay exorbitant taxes to support this collective of pampered lifetime drags on society. 

GROUPING THE FACTIONS     

Ours is a bifurcated society, and it is divided thusly:

 The first group is comprised of the hard- working industrious souls that pay exorbitant taxes to support a rapidly burgeoning collective of pampered lifetime drags on society, this group – spoken of earlier – are rapidly dwindling and since they are the life’s blood of society, when they have become extinct through the stupidity of the progressives of the political domain, this nation will collapse and become non-consequential on the world scene.  

Next we have the totally worthless eaters, too damn lazy to work and provide for themselves or families, but not too proud to ease their shiftless carcasses down to the welfare offices to dip into the appropriated assets that have been stolen and accumulated by government entities for distribution to the pokes who have no pride or worth.

The third group is comprised of those who believe themselves to be elites bestowed with the wisdom to order the rest of society to comply with their every wish and desire in regards to social duties and responsibilities. These have attained their status by happenstances of life and in most cases have accumulated obscene wealth; a wealth that they believe affords them an exalted place in society and places upon them a responsibility to create the rules that govern the entirety of the people whom they believe to be inferior and undeserving.   

PAYING THE PRICE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER

God holds all governments and the peoples of the Nations morally accountable for their actions. Evil and wrong will be punished; and by His will societies adhering to moral principles pronounced by His commandments will be honored and recompensed. Goodness and righteousness will ultimately prevail over evil, and we reap, by God’s power, the profits, good or bad, of that which we have sown. National morality will, in the end, profit the obedient. The moral choices we make in this life are infused with an eternal significance. This nation must change course, lest it be swallowed by the roiling tide heretofore described.

The slaughter and sacrifice of innocent babies to worldly lusts must cease, sodomy must not be either condoned or promoted, unlawful expropriation of personal chattel by the government, thievery by business interests and service providers must be eradicated, and the denigration of Biblical truth and of the living God must cease. If this nation is to survive, God’s laws must be enforced and obeyed. If the Ten Commandments are not honored, we can kiss this nation goodbye.

Repentance is in order and it must be immediately forthcoming. This nation will either live by the Word of God, or it will die by the will of God.

Heart Stopping Fear; the time of the signs

Luke 21:25- 26  “There will appear signs in the sun, moon and stars, and on earth, nations will be in anxiety and in bewilderment at the sound and surge of the sea as people faint with fear at the prospect of what is overtaking the world, for the powers in heaven will be shaken.”

We see so many of the frightening occurrences; we can scarcely catalog the gamut of them all.  We know that our Heavenly Father is not the source of our fear, because He tells us God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of love, power and a steady and healthy mind.

Fear is a spirit, and that spirit is behind much of the trouble that attacks the people of earth.  It can take many forms, and it has been in operation forever since man left the Garden of Eden.  Satan himself must be filled with fear, because he knows what his fate will be, and he knows his time is short and he will soon lose his freedom forever.  He is called the prince of the powers of the air, and he will be pulling out all the stops in his final push to conquer as many of earth’s dwellers as possible. 

Fear causes people to do outrageous things to their own detriment.  It causes them to act with selfishness, anger, greed, pride and many other unfortunate ways, which make living in peace nearly impossible. 

There is only one kind of fear that is beneficial; and that is fear of the Almighty, and that fear is to be combined with a genuine love for Him and a good understanding of His sovereignty, goodness, holiness and love.  Aside from this beneficial fear, we are constantly exhorted all through Scripture to “fear not”.  Yeshua spoke this many times to those around Him, and also encounters with angels in their awesome appearance to humans almost always had to speak in the same manner because man is so prone to the spirit of fear which attacks when anything beyond our understanding and our familiarity is encountered. 

The mind is a battlefield where the lion roars and defeats people without actually doing anything further than instilling fear.  This is a strong spirit to do battle with, and many simply succumb to the damage inflicted to their emotions, imaginations and weaknesses and abandon the battlefield in defeat. 

We are taught by Yeshua to be overcomers by “speaking to” the mountains in life, and giving them orders to be gone.  If we believe what He taught us, we are well able to overcome the adversities that can appear as real, while actually they are illusions projected on our minds through the means of the spirit of fear.  Seemingly tangible forces attack us many times, when in fact they are only used as camouflage to cover the real spirit behind them.  Fear, the spirit, has many foot soldiers with different uniforms worn to deceive and they are very astute at their cover up tactics. 

 To defeat such an enemy, we must exercise our faith; it is our shield to deflect the fiery darts aimed at us.  We have to always be aware that behind the scenes, there is a very clever tactician who is constantly roaming about the earth seeking whom he can devour.  If we let our guard down in these days, in the time prophesied as the time of the end, discouragement can overtake us and defeat not only our witness to the world, but effectiveness in every situation.  We have a glorious hope and cannot allow ourselves to become sidetracked by a defeated spirit being.  We have been given the power to overcome the world, and I John 5:4 tells us it is our faith.  Fear has power to destroy, but faith has a greater power to enable us to be victorious.

 This does not suggest that we should be reckless and over confidant.  Proverbs14: 16, “A wise person fears and turns away from evil, but a fool is reckless and over-confident.”  The foolish runs straight into trouble and suffers for it.

Proverbs 8:12, “I, wisdom live together with caution.  I attain knowledge and discretion.”  These two qualities go hand in hand.  Wisdom, the Scripture says is the principle thing. 

James 1:5-8 tells us how to acquire this wisdom, which is so precious a tool in living a successful and peaceful life.  “If anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of God who gives liberally to all without finding fault. “

But we are to ask in faith, no doubting.  The doubter cannot expect to receive anything from the Lord Yahweh. 

In these days of so many troubling signs of wars, violence, and evil on every side, it behooves us all to be in constant contact with the One who possesses all the wisdom we will ever need to make wise decisions, to live in peace and with caution and discretion, but without overwhelming fear.  He is with us always even to the end of the age.  Be strong (Chazak) and take courage.

HEBREW ROOTS STUDIES

People ask me, “What is your theological/doctrinal position?” my answer is, “I have no position at all theologically, but my boss, Yeshua has one and my job is to implement His position in this world.”

Another big difference between this writing and others of its kind is the denomination of its author. I have none. The works of people are biased by their beliefs. Most people belonging to a denomination are biased, and they tend to change the Bible to suit their beliefs. As I am non-denominational, I change my beliefs, to suit the Bible. So you can rest assured that when I try to convince you that the Bible says something, it really does say it.

“Let us read the Sacred texts in terms of what they say, 

not what we have to superimpose on these texts.
We will come to this very distinct conclusion.”
-Baruch Spinoza (1632-1677)

“It is possible to evangelize the world in this generation, if the

Church will but do her duty. The trouble is not with the heathen. A
dead Church will prevent it, if it is prevented. Why should it not be
accomplished? God will have all men to be saved and come unto
the knowledge of the truth. The resources of the Church are
boundless. Let the will of the Church be brought into line with the
will of God, and nothing will be found to be impossible. May God
grant it!” – Griffith John

“The Church has not yet touched the fringe of the possibilities of

intercessory prayer. Her largest victories will be witnessed when
individual Christians everywhere come to recognize their
priesthood unto God and day by day give themselves unto prayer.”
 - John R. Mott

“Whether we like it or not, asking is the rule of the Kingdom. If 

you may have everything by asking in His Name, and nothing
without asking, I beg you to see how absolutely vital prayer is.”
 - C. H. Spurgeon

Beginning with NIMROD And the TOWER of BABYLON on the plains of SHINAR, and continuing until today, the Satanically ruled Babylonian system of Governments and Religions has never left mankind! YAHWEH Elohim, our God, the Creator of Darkness and Light, has allowed mankind to continue to use and develop this Babylonian model throughout history. From the Watchers described in the Book of Enoch, the Nephilim, Anakim and Rephaim, mighty men of old, the stone images of “gods” on Easter [Ishtar] Island in the Pacific Ocean, the Meso-American “gods” of human sacrifice, the religions of cannibalism and death, and the many bloody kings, dictators, popes and conquerors described in history show that the story of mankind is one of blood and death sowed on the infamous pages of man’s sojourns on this planet Earth. This is how it was and this is how it shall be until the end comes and YESHUA returns. Myriads of human beings have been summarily slaughtered with malice aforethought, in the name of Religion and in the name of some god, and men, in the name of the “God” of the Bible reimaged, have accomplished the largest slaughtering of their fellow human beings as recorded from ancient times until now. The Biases of men color and obscure the truth, even though it is self-evident!

I actually believe that Yahweh [YHVH] God has slowly been restoring His truths to the church bit by bit over the centuries, mostly since the Great Reformation of the middle ages. If you look at church history you will see that it started with “Justification by Faith” in the 1500′s, then the “New Birth” and Sanctification, then Baptism by Immersion, then healing, then Baptism of the Holy Spirit with ‘tongues’, etc, until today we have the opportunity to fully enter into virtually everything that the early church entered into – and powerful Spirit-filled Revivals are today happening around the globe, primarily in third world countries. The church has come full circle in many ways, but still I feel we need one last Great Hebrew roots based Reformation to fully restore all of the scripture understanding that was lost through the Traditions, Takanot and Ma’asim of men.

It has taken a very long time for the church to emerge out of the dark ages, and there have been many “heroes” along the way. To me, men like John Wesley, George Whitefield, Charles Grandison Finney, etc, are a great inspiration – and I write about them all the time. But yes – they lived in an era when Christianity seemingly had less light than she does today. Thus I believe all the people of those times and also the present time, will be judged and affirmed by the light that they walked in. It is as simple as that. I do not condemn them at all – in fact I admire many of those old time revival preachers and learn as much from them as I can, especially those in the Brush Arbor revivals of the 1800s, a cardinal century in the faith. The study of biblical Hebrew Roots occurring today and for the over last quarter century is another step forward in understanding and promoting the beauty of scriptural truth.

The “New” Testament is a trumpet call by the writers of scripture to defend Father God’s Torah as Jesus did, while modern semi-paganized Christianity throws it on the dung heap. I find it difficult to accept the claims of any religious tradition that accepts the Edict of Constantine in 321AD that changed the biblical eternal 7th day Sabbath as being in authority over and in place of scripture. The same church tradition that cannot count to 3 days and 3 nights; that replaces God’s Holy days in scripture kept by Jesus with 2 totally pagan “CHURCH” holidays, Christmas and Easter, and that denigrates the Hebrew language Jesus and the Apostles spoke, and instead, being in favor of a limited Greek pagan rooted language, which was developed to worship the sungods of Mount Olympus. Paul defended YHWH God’s Torah Laws in Romans 2 through 8, Galatians, Ephesians and in all his letters and explained the casting of the CURSES of Torah on the dung heap that Jesus won the right to do via His final victory over those curses on the Cross.

The traditions of men put the things of God to naught!

I am eternally grateful for the positive comments I have received from serious and mature Bible students sent by email and comments to my postings and forwarding. To stir one mind and one heart to delve deeper into the liquid gold depths of scripture is my intent and I shout Omein to the following quote of Emerson:

“Beware when great God lets loose a thinker on this planet. Then all things are at risk. It is as when a conflagration has broken out in a great city, and no man knows when it will end. There is not a piece of science but its flank may be turned tomorrow; there is not any literary reputation, not the so-called eternal names of fame, that may not be revised and condemned. The very hopes of man, the thoughts of his heart, the religion of nations, the manners and morals of mankind are all at the mercy of a new generalization.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

ALL advances in biblical knowledge including the current Hebrew Roots of Scripture studies have been soundly opposed by biased traditionalists and the work of men is done with vigor, especially by those ecclesiastics in Catholic churches that have murdered multiple millions of the children of Judah over the centuries, to their eternal damnation by the Almighty Elohim of Israel. The Hebrew Roots study of the Bible is NOT a cult or sideshow, but is a study that greatly enhances the purity of scripture as it was originally written, much to the dismay of fearful tradition bound clerics.

THE NEW TESTAMENT, A WARTIME DOCUMENT

The entire New Testament narrative was written during a major War of World Conquest by the Roman Empire and at a time of a hostile occupation of Israel by victorious Roman Armies and also, a major Jewish gorilla war against Rome and its Edomite (Idumean) allies who were then governing Israel as Roman appointees during Yeshua’s first Advent as Messiah ben Joseph.

 Most Christians know this to be a fact, but it does not usually enter their minds under modern Bible studies and also is not addressed under the preaching of New Testament scripture. Christian Pastors and Bible Teachers generally leave out of their teaching, these unbiased basic facts. Yet, Yeshua and His Talmudim along with the other Apostles all lived their entire daily lives under the oppression of a bloody Roman occupation and their writings reflect that sad situation. Messianic Believers in Yeshua have also lived under the same Roman thumb of murderous intent over the last two millennia. The New ‘Second Babylon’ was instituted at the first advent of the Messiah, Yeshua, and has been active ever since as Alexander Hislop’s book of 1860, ‘THE TWO BABYLONS’, clearly documents.

One needs look no further than Nazi Germany and Islam to see the modern continuation of the Babylonian Empire in action. To put these historical facts into the Biblical equation makes for a clarified, unbiased and mature Biblical Worldview.

Since the American Civil War of the 1860s, we Freemen and Freewomen have not lived under a hostile occupation of an enemy in our local neighborhoods unless one considers the present political turmoil as a prelude to a soon coming slide into entropy and a bloody occupation promulgated by a hostile government which is now ruling under an underhanded, deceptive and historically ‘unchanging’ Anti-Christ system of oppression, occupation and terrorism.

Yeshua/Jesus lived under such a hostile and dictatorial government, which was fully in league with a renewed occupying Babylonian empire, and we may be there also in this present renewed time of troubles. I speak from personal experience. It is, therefore, not surprising that the Savior constantly spoke as an encourager and an exhorter to the poor and oppressed Jewish people of His day living under the murderous and hostile occupiers coming from the deep pit of the satanic empires of this world. There is, indeed, nothing new under the sun.

Understand the present ‘signs of the times’ in the context of this continuing war against Christians and Jews and then apply that wisdom into your Biblical life and your prayers to the Almighty Elohim of the universe and our Messiah, Yeshua.
