2013.10.08 The Essence of the issues relating to the Bible

The following are what I currently understand to be THE issues with regard to the Bible

1. Yah wants relationship

Yah wants us to seek a DEEP personal relationship with HIM NOT a book. He created us for relationship. Yah says that the Bible is “the greatest idol on earth”. People mistake Yah’s grace in working with the Bible as indicating His approval, big mistake.

2. The Bible is the outcome of a battle between Yah and Satan that Yah lost

The Bible is the outcome of a battle between Satan and Yah through men that resulted in only one very limited collection of fragments of writings being preserved to become what we call “The Bible” – from biblios – Greek for book.

3. The English translations and derivatives are massively corrupt

The English translations and those derived from them are massively corrupt in in terms of the use of blasphemous and corrupt names and concepts such as “The LORD”, “God”, “Jesus”, “Christ”, “holy”, “cross”, bias towards deity of Jesus, “Old Testament – New Testament”, false bias against Yah’s form of union between man and woman, etc, etc. Much material on the website discusses this.

4. The Bible is mostly a reasonably accurate historical account

The writings in the Bible ARE for the most part a reliable and accurate, albeit very limited, historical record, as far as it goes, there are massive gaps.

5. Less than 2% of the Bible is inspired

Yah says that “less than 2% of the Bible is inspired”. The Bible DOES included some passages and verses that ARE direct from Yah but these are scattered amongst the other text which is simply writings based on knowledge. Key elements of Revelation ARE accurate.

6. The Bible is based on fragments of manuscript

The Bible is based on fragments of manuscripts preserved through persecution and neglect. Very little of the original text in the “New Testament” was written in Greek and there was NO control of scribal error and emendation. Much of the “Old Testament” was written from memory in Babylon.

7. Massive emphasis on building doctrine from the Bible leads to massive error

The massive emphasis on building doctrine from the Bible has led to what Yah calls “wholesale error” and given the forces of darkness almost total freedom to mislead believers. The church is breaking ALL of the Ten Commandments assisted by the Bible.

8. Yah hates the Bible because it leads men away from Him

Yah hates the Bible because it is Satan’s way of forcing Yah to interact with nearly all believers on Satan’s terms. Satan hates it for the limited truth it DOES contain and that Yah IS able to lead some people to deep relationship with Himself through it.

9. Yah wants relationship

Fundamentally Yah wants DEEP personal relationship with EVERY single person and the Bible gets in the way of that.

See other articles below for much more information.

2013.10.07 Positive aspects of “The Bible”

The previous article focused heavily on the weaknesses and negative aspects of the Bible, this article lists what IS positive about it.

1. Most of the book IS reasonably accurate historically

Most of the Bible is a factual and reasonably accurate historical account of Yah’s interaction with men from which we CAN derive significant learning IF we turn to Yah to answer our questions and interpret.

2. Fundamental commandments ARE accurately recorded

The fundamental laws in the form of the so-called “Ten Commandments” ARE accurately recorded.

3. Basic application of the Commandments is addressed to a point

The basic interpretation and application of the commandments is demonstrated to a point IF we turn to Yah to answer our questions and interpret.

4. Various principles at a headline level

Various principles relating to being in relationship with Yah are demonstrated and discussed at a headline level, again subject to turning to Yah for detailed understanding and application.

5. Some limited inspired sections

There are SOME limited inspired passages, sometimes single verses, albeit frequently badly translated, which DO provide a foundation for Yah to build on – primarily some of Proverbs, some elements of historical accounts both relating to Yahooshua, pre-Yahooshua and post-Yahooshua, particularly by Shaul {Paul} and parts of Revelation.

6. Some statements of Yah’s plans – so-called “prophecy”

Some statements of Yah’s plans and intent by His spokesmen {prophets}}, generally at a sketchy level so that Yah’s servants in later generations have some limited guidance as to what to pray and intercede for. Most important in this generation are elements of Revelation.

7. All of this is compromised

All of this coloured and influenced by the factors discussed in the previous article so, while a useful basis for seeking Yah for clarification the Bible is NOT a basis for in-depth intellectual analysis without the Spirit of Yah. It is also and wide open for demonic interference coloured by the worldly context that totally corrupts the fundamentals and detracts from deep knowledge of Yah such that a few draw closer to Yah and the majority worship the book {bible} or walk away.

8. Satan does hate it because it contains remnants of truth

The forces of darkness DO hate the Bible because it DOES contain accurate history and facts about Yah and some inspired words and Yah HAS managed to work through it to a point. Remember that the goal of the forces of darkness is to UTTERLY defeat Yah on earth but that does NOT validate it as “the Word of God / Yah”.

9. Read prayerfully and in different translations there IS much to learn

Read prayerfully there IS much to learn from the Bible as a STEPPING STONE BUT it MUST be read in close consultation with Yah and with openness to finding error, particularly in the English and other translations derived from / informed by the English versions. I recommend “The Scriptures”, “The Living Torah” and “The Amplified Bible” in particular although they all contain substantial errors. There are many thousands of pages on this website http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.org given by Yah at various levels that will enable those who study them to learn much about the things of Yah.

Summing up re “The Bible”

I was asked to sum up my understanding with regard to the book commonly referred to as “The Bible”.

Following is a reasonably comprehensive summary of the headline points regarding the Bible which are discussed in greater detail in the articles listed at the end of this article:

1. Bible is NOT a magic word

Bible is derived from the Greek Biblios which means a book and is related to Biblos which was a major centre of papyrus manufacture. So, the word Bible has NO significance at all.

Assigning special meaning to the Bible massively distracts people from serving Yah in person.

2. The Bible does NOT claim to be “The Word of Yah” or to be without error

Nowhere IN the Bible does ANY author let alone ALL authors claim that the Bible is given by Yah. Even in the preamble to the average Bible NO such claim is made. Furthermore no claims are made in the book regarding it being without error.

“The Word of Yah” and “without error” both massively distract people and are false.

3. It is highly unlikely that the Bible is “the living word of Yah”

“The living word of Yah” implies an extremely high level of anointing and therefore infilling of the Spirit of Yah. For it to be the “living word of Yah” the entire book would have to be written by people with this level of infilling of the Spirit of Yah. There is no indication in any of the writings that the people who made these records were at this level of infilling at the time they wrote and, in my personal experience, Yah does NOT give that level of anointing for general documentation purposes. He desires us to apply our minds and our intellect so, generally it is unlikely that Yah would dictate these exact passages and, most of them are NOT worded in such a way as to suggest that they are direct dictation from Yah.

“The living word of Yah” ascribes a level of anointing to the writers that is completely unjustified and, again, distracts others from seeking to know Yah deeply.

4. Most of the Bible is simply history so no need for it to be inspired

A large proportion of the Bible comprises historical accounts that require NO anointing or inspiration to record.

Ascribing inspiration to simple historical accounts devalues the entire essence of inspiration.

5. The Bible contains obvious errors

Both the so-called “Old Testament” and “New Testament” contain obvious errors which denies any claim that it is “without error”. For example the accounts of the death of Judas Iscariot in Matthew and Acts do NOT agree. The genealogies in Matthew and Luke do NOT agree. The reasons given for David numbering Israel differ, one attributes his action to Yah, the other to Satan. The exact wording of the Ten Commandments differs although the different accounts claim to be verbatim transcripts of what Yah spoke on the Mountain, etc. There are websites that list the discrepancies in detail and there are other websites that go to great lengths to explain and justify the discrepancies.

Denying the errors and constructing convoluted arguments to justify obvious errors makes Yah look foolish, compromises the integrity of the believers who advocate such lies and opens the door for massive demonic infestation.

6. No such thing as “The Canon of Scripture”

Yah says there is NO such thing as the Canon of Scripture. He has spoken to millions of people in detail over the years, millions of documents have been written, Yah HAS at some level influenced the thoughts of every human being who has ever lived.

The concept of the “Canon of Scripture” is one of the most destructive lies associated with the Bible. The consequence of believing the “Canon” is that people believe that Yah has only taken the trouble to speak to men in such detail to the sum total of a bit over a thousand pages in six thousand years. This massively devalues the reality of Yah’s interaction with mankind.

Another consequence of the lie of “The Canon of Scripture” is that anointed servants devalue the revelation, visions and messages given to them and fail to give them the import that they deserve. Yah speaks to His servants today, as He has spoken throughout time and His messages today are MOST important today, two and three thousand year old texts are NOT the MOST important message from Yah today. The entire spiritual dispensation today is radically different to that which any person except Yahooshua could have envisaged at the time the texts that make up the Bible were written.

7. Worship of the Bible massively limits Yah

All the above points give rise to a situation in which the Bible is effectively worshiped and, in the process, massively limits Yah.

People hold that the Bible is THE authoritative document and under value millions of other writings. People rely on “Bible Study”, “Bible School”, “Bible …” instead of seeking Yah’s spokesmen {prophets} and a personal relationship with Yah.

Massively corrupt and fundamentally inaccurate and false interpretation and extrapolation of isolated verses builds huge intellectual and demonically inspired constructs that bear NO relation to the truth with the result that human beings are totally mislead with regard to what is really going on in the spiritual realm. The prevalent interpretations of the Book of Revelation are the most dramatic example of this.

8. Current Christian Bible assembled by a group of men in a corrupt dispensation

The current Christian Bible has its roots in Rome and was assembled by a group of corrupt men in a corrupt dispensation.

Many modern believers distain or reject the Roman church yet they worship one of the early Roman churches most significant achievements, the Bible.

Lack of awareness of readily available history compromises the intellect of believers and again opens them to demonic attack.

9. 66 books in the Protestant Bible indicates men have tampered with it

The Protestant Bible contains 66 books, 6 is the number of man. Yah indicates that this indicates that men have tampered with the Bible and states that the Roman church excluded substantial bodies of text which were NOT aligned with their beliefs.

So this supposedly definitive and complete book is fraudulently deficient.

10. All major English translations of the Bible are fundamentally corrupt in terms of names, etc

All the major English translations of the Bible are fundamentally corrupt, they all contain the same errors with regard to “The LORD”, meaning “Baal” instead of “Yahooeh” or “Yah the eternally self-existing”, “God” instead of “Mighty One”, “Jesus” instead of “Yahooshua”, “cross” instead of “stake”, “Christ” instead of “anointing of the Spirit of Yah” or “anointed of Yah”, names containing “Yah” translated completely differently, etc.

The consequence of this is that English speaking believers and those who rely on translations based on the English versions are completely misled in terms of the names and led frequently into paganism rather than relationship with Yah.

11. Most of “New Testament” written in Aramaic and NOT Greek

Supposedly the “New Testament” was written in Greek. This is false.

Yahooshua and those who followed him spoke and wrote Aramaic. Only a few letters to Greek believers were written in Greek.

The reason the source documents are in Greek is that the Jews hated those who followed Yahooshua because they used the true names and challenged the traditions of Israel, as a consequence the Jews seized all available manuscripts and destroyed them. From the other side, the Roman occupiers of Israel and surrounding nations hated the followers of Yahooshua because they confronted their paganism and therefore they too seized the Aramaic documents and destroyed them.

All that survived were Greek translations. These translations were prepared under less than ideal conditions, with no formal quality control and filtered through increasingly corrupt doctrines.

Relying on these translations as being definitive is fundamentally flawed.

12. New Testament compiled from fragments that differ in about 1,250 places

The “New Testament” as it exists today was compared from fragments of manuscripts that were collected and which differ to the extent of something like 1,250 points from one another.

Some sources refer to “the most reliable sources” and others claim that these “reliable sources” were found in a rubbish tip outside a monastery in the Sinai Peninsula. “In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”, the source of Trinity doctrine occurs only once and then only in SOME manuscripts.

13. “Old Testament” largely compiled from memory in Babylonian exile

The “Torah scrolls” on which the “Old Testament” is allegedly based were destroyed at the time of the Babylonian exile and pieces were recreated from memory by Jews in Babylon after a massively traumatic defeat and forced march.

14. Tradition regarding “Moses wrote the five books before he died including what happened after he died, is fundamentally flawed

Certain people claim that Moses was given the five books attributed to him by inspiration such that he wrote about what would happen after he died.

This is fundamentally false. Yah has repeatedly said to me that we are NOT glove puppets and that He deals with situations as they unfold, we are NOT living some bizarre and perverse pre-scripted pantomime. Again we see traditions relating to the Bible leading people away from understanding the way Yah works.

15. The Bible Code is a smoke screen

Yah says that “the Bible Code is a smoke screen”. The entire creation, the Universe, every plant and animal, the minute precision of DNA, the Periodic Table of the Elements in Chemistry, ALL evidence the existence of the Creator. To suggest that Yah has seen it necessary to hide some code in the “original Bible text” in order to prove that He exists and that the Bible is inspired by Him simply does NOT correlate with the facts that are available with the simplest observation.

16. Prophecy fulfilled is testimony to Yah’s spokesmen NOT the Bible

People argue that the fact that there are statements in the Bible about the future that have been fulfilled proves that the Bible is the Word of Yah. This is NOT so, it proves that Yah spoke through His spokesmen {prophets} then just as He does today and that someone, who was not necessarily at all inspired, recorded what was said.

The fulfillment of statements made by Yah is MORE a sign that in the age when those statements were fulfilled there were spokesmen who prayed those events into existence.

17. The Bible is a manifestation of the war between Yah and Satan

The Bible is fundamentally the remnant that Yah has managed at some level to preserve as mankind has capitulated to Satan on so many fronts and, on the other hand, it is the remnant that Satan has NOT been able to destroy and therefore Satan hates it and has done all that he can to neutralize it.

Conclusion – almost all of what is claimed for the Bible is FALSE

The bottom line is that virtually all that is claimed for the Bible is FALSE, all that can really be found to be true is that it is a collection of writings about man’s interaction with Yah that are at some level factual.

2013.09.05 About the Bible

Recently someone asked me for guidance with regard to which bible version they should be using

This is my response:

“Important to recognize that the bible was compiled by the Roman Church under Constantine in about 300 AD

It is the work of men and because of the lies believed about it it has MASSIVELY limited the way in which the Almighty has been able to interact with the majority of believers

The bible is one of the greatest victories of Satan and Yah hates it because of the way He is forced to work with a book approved by Satan

Furthermore the English translations of the bible and all other translations that have used the English translations as their source are full of massive error in terms of the true Name of the Creator – “Yah the eternally self-existing” NOT “God” or “The LORD”, the Name of Yahooshua (NOT Jesus), reference to “the anointing of the Spirit of Yah” as “Christ”, etc and this has fed almost universal error in the body of believers who rely on the bible

Satan hates the bible because it still contains some truth and it has enabled many to retain some level of relationship with the Almighty and has therefore done all he can to destroy it and, in the process, has given greater credibility to worship of the bible as “The Living Word of God” and other mistaken beliefs

So, while we CAN learn from the bible and I, myself, have come that route, using the bible to substantiate anything of substance is highly suspect

Yah wants a PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP with each and every one of us and He hates it when people put their worship of the book {bible from Greek Biblios = “book”) in the way of learning to hear Him personally and learning to talk to Him and be guided by Him constantly

2013.05.02 The Arrogance of Christian Ignorance

I came to a close relationship with the Almighty at Passover 1993 after He spoke to me audibly when I was considering taking my life. He showed me that if I had died then I would have been cast into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone and that I was about to pass the last opportunity that I would have in my life to turn to Him. I gave Him my life unconditionally and committed to do whatever He called me to do.

He put me in touch with a strong believer who I knew through business and he in turn took me to his assembly. I was impacted by the level of knowledge and immediately assumed that everything that they taught was accurate. However, having made such an intense commitment and being an engineer with an extremely analytical mind and knowing that I had used up the grace available to me I rapidly started asking questions.

I soon discovered that the answers to my questions were frequently unacceptable to the church even though Father validated them repeatedly, on a number of occasions through dramatic spiritual events.

In 1995 I prayed for the first time “Father, I ask you to lead me into ALL truth”, I also asked Him to bring the people He wanted into my life and take the people that He did NOT want in my life out. I also asked that I might be found a “good and faithful servant on the Day of Judgment”. Following these prayers my life started to change dramatically and nearly everyone who was in my life was taken out in the next twelve months. I was also kicked out of a number of churches for my unacceptable beliefs – yet Father continued to say I was going in the right direction and confirmed this repeatedly through numerous of His spokesmen and women who did NOT understand the significance of what they were saying.

Father continued to work with me and in 1998 I prayed “Father judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly” and “Father, please show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it”. I continue to pray all the above prayers regularly today. The revelations continued.

In the middle of 2000 I found myself in a situation where I was totally dependent on Father for my provision and I found that what I was praying and doing – in line with what I had believed from the church – was not working. In desperation I decided to fast and seek His face and I embarked on what ended up being 8 three day fasts at intervals of ten days – 3 day fast, 7 days eating normally. Concurrently all I did was to pray, read the bible and other sources of information and write what I was shown. With the fasts I prayed to be shown my error – the fasts were specifically directed at CORRECTING ERROR in my life. Within a few weeks I started to receive a barrage of revelation through emails, direct words from the Almighty, spiritual experiences, things I observed around me, etc, etc.

By the end of the eighth fast on 31 December 2000, Father gave me a message “The Wrath of God for the Church” which was about the doctrinal error in the church – I was battling to internalize all the information that had deluged and so I still used “God” although I had recently encountered “Yahweh”.

Father called me into full time prophetic ministry but kept me almost totally isolated at home. We sold assets to survive. I continued to spend all my time seeking Father, reading about Father and writing what I was shown. In the space of about two years I wrote about 750 articles amounting to about 10,000 A4 pages. By the end of 2001 almost nothing that I had believed remained, I had been shown that just about everything the Christian Church teaches was false and that the demonic realm was dominating the Church. I was isolated and alone, a few people remained on my mailing list but the vast majority of Christians rejected me. It was an extremely difficult time and then Father told me to return to my business and rebuild it.

During this period I was shown that it was time for Satan to be sent to the Pit for a thousand years and that since only men have authority on earth only a man could bring the charges against Satan. I was further shown that if the man concerned subscribed to any of the lies or errors that Satan had brought upon the earth that man would have NO legal standing in the Court of Heaven to bring the charges. I understood that I was being prepared to do this but I was NOT permitted to discuss this with anyone, not even my wife.

On 3 May 2003, while worshipping, the Spirit of the Almighty came upon me as described in the article at

http://end-time-issue-ministries.org/Articles/ArticleViewPage/tabid/511/ArticleId/165/2011-02-03-Satan-sentenced-to-one-thousand-years-in-the-Pit-on-3-May-2003.aspx

I requested a hearing of the Court of Heaven, commanded that Satan be brought before the Court, read out the Charges (as given by the Spirit of the Almighty), secured a conviction, requested a sentence of 1,000 years in the Pit and called on the messengers {angels} of the Almighty to cast Satan into the Pit.

For most of the next ten years I hardly wrote, I grappled with the truths that I had been taught, attempted to put some critical truths into practice and failed repeatedly, I took some wrong turnings and picked up some extremely heavy demonic infestation which I was finally delivered of in 2010. At this point I went on seven three day fasts at intervals of seven days requesting cleansing and correction. At the end of this period I had a settled assurance that the bulk of the fundamentals of what I believed were solid and validated and I resumed writing. Since then I have published over 250 articles of which about 80% are on the website http://end-time-issue-ministries.org and elsewhere.

These articles were published to a small group of people, some of who have been on the list for many years. Recently I have been impressed to increase the scope of the list and therefore most of those who are receiving this email know little or nothing about me.

As before I have experienced a substantial amount of rejection and argumentation and been called a “false prophet” on a number of occasions.

About a month ago the Almighty said to me “son of man, have you seen the arrogance of these who call themselves ‘Christian’ in their ignorance” and I was given the outline of the article below.

I have given the above context so that you may know that what I write below I do NOT write lightly and that what I have written in the last three years I have ALSO NOT written lightly – it is the settled and considered opinion of one who has been walking with Yah and seeking ALL TRUTH for twenty years. If you do NOT understand or do NOT agree, rather go to Father and ask Him for guidance than reject me and, in the process, reject Him who sent me.

I submit for your consideration that UNLESS you pray the prayers above repeatedly and over a number of years and undertake at least one set of seven three day fasts EARNESTLY seeking truth and UNLESS you are open to having just about everything you believe turned on its head, NOTWITHSTANDING how many times you have been caught up into Heaven and had other dramatic experiences with the Almighty you have no real prospect of fully understanding what I am writing about and have written about previously. Please refer to:

for more information on this, this article was also sent out to the list a few weeks ago.

Following is the article “The Arrogance of Christian Ignorance”:

The Arrogance of Christian Ignorance

James Robertson

As outlined above I have been on an intense journey to learn the truths of the Almighty and found that virtually everything that the Christian Church teaches is false. I have also found that the vast majority of Christians are NOT interested in reviewing their doctrines and changing.

About a month ago the Almighty said to me “son of man, have you seen the arrogance of these who call themselves ‘Christian’ in their ignorance” and gave me the headlines of a message as follows:

1. The Almighty and His ways are huge and massively complex

The Almighty, His ways, His kingdom are huge and massively complex. It is beyond the ability of any single human being to fully experience Him or fully comprehend Him or fully know His ways or fully walk in His ways. This is particularly true of the degenerate people who live today – we have ALL (including myself) degenerated massively from the first man and woman whom Yah (Yah the eternally self-existing, the Almighty, the Creator of the heavens and the earth) {also known as “The LORD” and “God” both of which terms are fundamentally wrong and blasphemous} created just over 6,000 years ago.

We are greatly deluded if we think we know Him and His ways fully and where we judge others based on our miniscule knowledge of these things.

2. Yah is merciful and meets us where we are

Yah is merciful and gracious and full of compassion. He meets us where we are and does what He can to help us and guide us but is constrained by our ignorance and our arrogance and our inability to hear Him outside our existing paradigm’s. Yah grants us dramatic spiritual experience, speaks to us, gives us revelation, catches some of us up to Heaven, grants some of us to meet and speak to Yahooshua {Jesus} personally NOT because we are perfect but because He loves us and because we are at some level seeking and at some level have some small relationship with Him.

3. Even those close to Him have miniscule knowledge

Even those who are closest to Yah have, in truth, miniscule knowledge and experience of Him. We are incapable of comprehending all that He is and all of His ways as individuals. “For we who are MANY are ONE body”.

4. A dramatic encounter with Yah is NOT an endorsement of our doctrine – there are legal constraints

A minute number of us in this generation have had dramatic encounters with Yah. I have had the wind of Pentecost blow in my bedroom and had Yah lay His hand on me and impart a significant anointing, I have had Him speak to me personally through many prophets and others, I have had Him speak audibly to me directly, I have had Him call me His friend – NONE of that in any way confirms my doctrine – it simply means that in some small measure I have pleased Him and connected with Him in such a way that He has been able to touch me and grant me some experience that is effectively so miniscule in His scale of things as to be almost insignificant. These experiences do NOT endorse my doctrine or prove that I am without error or …

This is one of the greatest mistakes that those who have had experience of Yah make, they think that because they have been touched in some way, been used as spokesmen or women {prophets} or had other experiences that this signifies that they are fully in-line with Yah. I have interacted with some who have been taken up to heaven and interacted with Yahooshua and others, some of whom have had Yahooshua appear to them. Almost without fail they assume that such an experience, filtered by their knowledge and experience fully VALIDATES who they are, what they believe and their relationship with Yah. This is NOT so. There are legal constraints on what Yah can do and say in such an experience. He may NOT correct doctrine UNLESS you have expressly requested correction of doctrine and then you may well be unable to hear Him on many issues because you cannot believe He will say such things.

Correction of doctrine, in my experience, is frequently an arduous and challenging journey as, frequently, one will find oneself doubting whether Yah would say such a thing. You must be REALLY committed to seeking truth in this age in order to truly find the REAL TRUTH.

5. The level of ignorance and wrong belief in ALL groups is huge -- The world is flooded with sin and error

Just over 6,000 years ago, Adam, who knew NO evil, chose to disobey Yah and eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The consequence is that for over six thousand years mankind (the sons of Adam) have been learning ALL there is to know about disobedience, error and sin – i.e. evil such that, despite common Christian belief, this generation is, in Yah’s terms, the MOST evil generation that has ever lived.

Accordingly IF serving Yah and being found to be a “good and faithful servant” and an “overcomer” on the Day of Judgement is of any significance to you it is VITAL to understand that YOU will have to WORK HARD to find the truth that applies to you let alone “ALL TRUTH” that applies to you. Working hard means constantly and sincerely praying for correction, it means fasting periodically in a SERIOUS manner, it means being willing to challenge EVERYTHING you believe other than the existence of the Almighty Himself and even there you are likely to find that He is FAR DIFFERENT from what you have believed about Him.

And, even once you have been exposed to a new truth or been corrected it will frequently take YEARS for you to internalize it and apply it. In some cases it has taken me the best part of ten years to internalize and adjust my thinking to some of the revelation and correction that I have been given and I STILL find myself slipping into the old thinking and language from time to time.

IF you are serious the approximately 750 documents on the website http://www.etimin.org/ provide a step by step record of my journey with varying degrees of error, particularly in the earlier documents. More importantly, the approximately 180 documents on the website http://end-time-issue-ministries.org present my consolidated understanding as documented from the Day of Atonement 2009 to Passover 2012, a limited number of further articles have been written since then but NOT uploaded.

Amongst all these documents you will find a large amount of challenging truth but also some error, particularly in some of the older documents – the challenge is, that to the extent there IS error I do NOT always know it is error – and to the extent that my time is very limited it is NOT practical for me to go back and censor the earlier articles and Yah has told me NOT to. He says clearly that it is the responsibility of each of us to sift truth from error J

6. The vast majority oppose and condemn Yah’s truth

It is so that, in reality, the vast majority of the world’s people, even the vast majority of the 5,000 most highly anointed one’s who are at some limited level having an impact on the earth, are in serious error and, because of their experiences, opposing Yah’s truths and therefore Yah Himself.

7. The world and church are sinking ever deeper in apostasy

For the reasons given today the world and the church are sinking deeper and deeper into apostasy. The Christian church is smitten with pride and arrogance in their great error as custodians of the vital truth about Yahooshua which they have grossly corrupted, the Muslims are full of error, not as extreme as the Christians but severe none-the-less and all the other groups are also massively corrupt and in apostasy.

8. The Christians are Arrogant in their Ignorance

The net effect is that the Christians are massively ignorant and in massive error because they almost universally fail to truly recognize the Hebrew roots of their faith, the massive falling away and schism between the “Christians” and the “Jews” that had taken place by 600 AD in the time of Constantine and the errors that have been perpetrated ever since.

Charismatics speak badly of Protestants who speak badly of Catholics who speak badly of … and yet ALL have the same fundamental errors with regard to the names of Yah and Yahooshua, the personage of Yahooshua, the bible, etc, etc, etc and, as discussed in a previous article, they ALL break all of the ten Commandments most of the time.

Because of their ignorance and their mistaken belief that THEY have the truth rather than a desperate and humble seeking after judgment in this life and therefore seeking after truth they are nearly ALL arrogant in their ignorance. They do NOT know what they do NOT know and therefore they THINK that they DO know. Those who have been privileged to be granted some significant spiritual experience are frequently the most arrogant and the most resistant to change.

9. Appropriate prayers and fasting are vital

IF this scares you – which it should – there is ONLY one solution – pray the prayers that are mentioned above and in the document cited above, fast and constantly examine your life. Ask for correction, expect it and receive it.

The entire world system AND particularly the Christian Church WILL oppose you – it is a lonely and isolated road. Expect things to go wrong constantly and to suffer loss – it is only by being judged and learning from your judgments that you will climb the mountain of the Most High Creator and be found to be a good and faithful servant and an overcomer on the Day of Judgement.

2013.03.06 Relationship with the Almighty NOT Worship of Intellect

In recent months I have received a steady stream of emails on various topics that argue matters of doctrine (teaching) from in-depth intellectual analysis of the Bible and other texts.

Frequently these arguments and the resulting conclusions are totally at odds with what the Almighty is saying and it becomes apparent that the writers place high reliance on their intellect and the intellect of other “learned” people.

In doing this they totally miss the message of Yahooshua {Jesus} and every other prophet that has ever lived which is fundamentally, “seek a personal relationship with Yah (the Almighty Creator) and seek to please Him” – fundamentally nothing else matters and nothing else will qualify one to sit on a high throne with Yahooshua for eternity.

This is simple to do but so difficult because it requires one to lay down the worship of one’s intellect and accept that one does NOT know how to overcome, or to please Yah or even how to have a relationship with Him – it is simple because one is only required to completely set aside one’s intellect and walk with Yah by faith and, in a sense, blind trust, it is difficult because our entire upbringing fights against doing this.

Together with this article is also “2012_01_05_Getting close to Yah -- appropriate prayer and fasting are VITAL” which was published on this list slightly over a year ago which sets out a range of measures that one can take in order to hear the Almighty Creator clearly.

I commend this document and the approach that it advocates for your earnest and prayerful consideration.

2012.01.05 Getting close to Yah Appropriate prayer and fasting are VITAL (the answer to doctrinal differences)

I regularly encounter people who disagree with what is published on this list and on the ETI websites.

Some just walk away and refuse to have contact, others say nothing and some try and reason with me by stating what they deeply hold to be true.

In responding to your reaction if you disagree with something on this list or on the websites it is important to consider the following:

1. My error

If what is on the list or the websites is error, that is my problem and if I do NOT come to correction and repent before my death I will burn for some part of eternity for that sin. So, IF you do NOT agree with me the solution is NOT to be offended by my error but to pray that Yah will show me the error of my ways that I may repent.

Note that I have repeatedly stressed that we are each responsible for what we believe and it is up to YOU to decide what you believe of what is written on the list and websites.

Note also that on the old website http://www.etimin.org/ there are articles where my understanding has developed considerably over the years and it is therefore certain that some of the articles on that site contain SIGNIFICANT error so you should pray for guidance when reading articles from that site (and from the new site http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.org/ as well).

2. Your error

If YOU are in error then YOU will burn for part of eternity if you do NOT repent before your death. So, if you disagree with what is published here it is important that YOU seek the truth diligently.

Somebody said to me yesterday that Yahooshua died so we do NOT have to pay the price for our sins, YES, BUT, ONLY if you repent in this life – Yahooshua did NOT die so we can be sloppy about what we believe and teach lies – Yah HATES that teaching and you will burn terribly if that is something you believe and worse still teach to others.

3. Other people’s error – “my pastor says”

Then there is the dilemma faced by many people that they subscribe to what they have been taught at church or read in books, or what the majority believe, or what they were taught as children, etc – problem is, as we have seen, nearly everything that is taught is lies!

BUT

If a person challenges or questions what is being taught they are frequently told in no uncertain terms that they are in error, that the pastor has been to Bible School and they have not, that the majority agree, etc and people are made to feel stupid for disagreeing. They are also frequently given to understand that if they persist in discussing their “wrong doctrines” or questioning the teachings of their leaders they will be cast out of the congregation.

Under such circumstances you will STILL burn for part of eternity for believing those lies and even more so if you have taught them or propagated them BUT the pastor, writer, etc will ALSO burn, not only for their own sin but the sin they have forced you and others into.

Please remember that nearly everything that is taught in the church is false, nearly everything taught in Bible Schools is false and just about everything that the majority agree on is false – Satan is IN the church and controls the church through his demons just as he controlled the “church” in the days of Yahooshua.

4. What to do – based on someone else?

The ONLY reason you should believe on the basis of something that someone else forces on you is if they are willing to commit, IN WRITING, that what they are teaching is the truth AND that they indemnify you and will burn FOR you.

IF they do that they may be walking in presumption so you might want to get out anyway.

IF they tell you that “Jesus paid the price” and you will NOT burn if you are in error then GET OUT immediately!

IF they get sarcastic or aggressive, or harsh in any way then GET OUT.

You should NOT believe based on James Robertson, or Joe Smith, or Pastor X, or some imminent historical character (note that “The Final Quest” reports that “The Great Reformer” almost did NOT make it into heaven – see the article on “Where will YOU spend eternity?”) or EVEN on what “~~Jesus~~ / ~~Yeshua~~ / Yahooshua allegedly said” based on your corrupt English translation (interpretation) of the Greek translation of the record allegedly recorded by someone who claims to have walked with Yahooshua {~~Jesus~~} in the book {~~bible~~}.

You should ONLY believe based on your PERSONAL relationship with the Almighty Creator, Yah the eternally self-existing {~~The LORD~~, ~~God~~, ~~Allah~~, etc).

The ONLY time you should believe someone else is in the case of a woman joined to a man in which case you are commanded to submit to him in EVERYTHING and that INCLUDES accepting his teachings {~~doctrine~~} and he will burn for your sin.

5. Guidance by Yah

How do I make decisions based on personal relationship?, I hear you cry!

Well, first of all you need to realize that Yah created YOU to have a personal relationship with Him – if you do NOT have a personal relationship with Yah then your ENTIRE life is POINTLESS and at the end of your life you will be cast into the fire and consumed!

Secondly you need to pray appropriately.

I regard the following prayers, in no particular order, as vital and non-negotiable – all prayers should be prayed to the Father, Yah, in the name of Yahooshua so I will leave those parts out after the first prayer:

Father, I come to you in the name of Yahooshua and I ask you to show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it;

Judge me severely and correct me harshly – if you do nothing else, pray this;

Help me to overcome to the end and be found a good and faithful servant;

Help me to draw close to you;

Help me to hear you clearly and close my ears to all voices that are not from you;

By your Spirit blow away all that I have read or heard or thought that is not of you and imprint all that IS of You;

Where I am unable to hear you please speak to me in whatever way I am able to hear you through people, video, radio, TV, books, magazines, emails, websites, other people, etc, etc;

Open my eyes to see what you want me to see and close my eyes to what you do NOT want me to see;

Enlarge my territory in knowledge of You and Your ways and Your will and Your Kingdom and in relationship with You and in anointing with Your Spirit;

Please fill me with your Spirit;

Help me to put on the WHOLE armour of Yah, the belt of truth (note that truth comes first), the sure footed shoes of the good news of peace, the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation and the shield of faith, help me to wield the sword of the Spirit which is your commandments and to pray in the Spirit at all times without ceasing (note that you can ask Yah to teach your spirit to pray in the Spirit 24/7);

Bring the people you want into my life and take the people you do not want out; -- be prepared for lots of people to leave and all sorts of unpleasant things to be revealed;

Speak to me through your emissaries {~~apostles~~} and spokesmen and women {~~prophets~~} and send them across my path; -- be prepared for unusual and sometimes difficult people who may easily offend you

Open the doors in my life that you want opened and close the doors that you want closed;

Show me all demons and curses that are attached to me and how to get rid of them, send people across my path with the anointing to deliver me; -- you need to study demons and deliverance and seek out people who can help you to get free – guaranteed that unless you have put in MAJOR effort over a number of years to get free of demons you HAVE demons and they are corrupting your thinking and leading you into all sorts of sin – you need to deal with blood-line curses and the demons associated with them, etc, etc

Show me all the sins I need to repent of; -- this is an ongoing process for years and probably decades, sit down, pray and make a list of all your sins starting with blood line stuff that you inherited and then list year by year from birth to the present all the things you did wrong and repent of them AND pray for those that you harmed with your sins to forgive you – you will need to do this several times over a period of a year or more with the assistance of the Spirit of Yah before you have cleaned up and you will still find yourself remembering things years later – Yah may require you to go to people and repent of what you did wrong to them, you may need to make restitution, restore things your stole, compensate them for losses they incurred because of the wrong you did them, etc

Show me all the people I need to forgive; -- all the people who have wronged you, forgive them and release them from their debt towards you, including things they have stolen, etc – you may be able to just pray this but you may need to go to people and actively forgive them and release them

Teach me to quieten my spirit so I can hear your still, small voice;

Help me to qualify to sit on a high throne with Yahooshua for eternity;

Put my flesh to death so that I may live by your Spirit; -- if you are truly Spirit filled the strength of your physical body will diminish and you will become increasingly dependent on the strength of the set-apart {~~Holy~~} Spirit of Yah. If something then happens like major sin, fear, anger, strife or other things that drain the anointing of the Spirit of Yah you will find that you become very weak and you will age rapidly – strife in a marriage is a particular problem here

Help me to bring You joy every day;

Whatever else you are led to pray at any particular time.

By the way, once you start praying the above it is probable that if you are still in the formal “church” Yah will take you out very quickly.

You also need to worship regularly – not “feel good” worship, definitely NOT worshipping Yahooshua or Jesus but worship that lifts Yah up and makes Him feel good and that humbly requests Him to move in your life, etc – refer the article “2011.07.05 Some important worship songs” for a list of songs that I have used for years and keep coming back to – there are many others but not that have the significance and anointing that those on this list have.

6. Sensitivity and obedience

Praying the prayers is NOT enough.

You need to be sensitive and obedient – Yah can start closing a door but you can storm through it or block it open, or ignore it, or ...

You can ignore His voice.

You need to PRACTICE hearing His voice, you need to get on your knees so you can hear better, you need to do things because you THINK you heard His voice – if you think Yah has spoken to you then ACT, if you are unsure then ask for confirmation or guidance but if it is NOT a massive issue then just tell Him you are going to do what you think He has told you to do and DO it and check in with Him if you did it right – ask Him to guide you, to close and open doors, etc.

Spending hours or days, or weeks checking and double checking is SIN and it is NOT helpful – walk by faith – JUST DO IT!

Expecting other people to confirm and advise you -- if you are young and inexperienced -- well, maybe for a while -- but Yah wants YOU to hear Him and obey Him.

It is better to do something because you think Yah told you to do it but are not sure than it is to NOT do that thing.

Yah wants obedient servants and servants do NOT argue with their master – yes we do, but that is NOT what Yah wants.

You have to go through SERVANT to get to FRIEND and confidante – it will likely take some years before Yah takes you into His confidence and asks your opinion and consults with you the way He did, for example with Abraham and, unless you really work at it you are not very likely to get there – you do not get to become the Friend of Yah by accident, you get there through commitment and hard work and laying down your life.

If it is a really BIG thing, like sell everything, give it to the poor and move to … halfway round the world, THEN it is reasonable to do a bit of checking and ask for confirmation but even then there is a point at which Yah does NOT expect even such a decision to take you much time – when He tells you to raise your staff over the sea and tell it to open in front of millions of people Yah does NOT want you to take five months of arguing and asking Him for confirmation, He expects you to do it NOW and if you got it wrong take the risk of making a fool of yourself BUT chances are you DID hear Him because His ways ARE foolishness to the ordinary man (including almost all those who claim to believe).

7. Fast and fast again!

In my experience the above is just the entry point.

It is NOT ENOUGH!

I only started to get dramatic revelation eight years after I had been walking intensely with Father when He led me to go on eight three day fasts at intervals of ten days – in other words three days fasting and seven days eating normally – in that case the fasts culminated on the 31^st of December 2000 and Yah then gave me the message “The Wrath of {~~God~~} Yah for the Church” and said the church was breaking ALL of the Ten Commandments.

During those 80 days I received massive revelation, about the true names Yah and Yahooshua, about the true Sabbath, about the true feasts, about the pagan and Satanic nature of Christmas, etc, etc.

On those fasts during the three days all I took was the bread and wine – remembering the covenant made by Yahooshua {~~communion~~} and limited water.

In the year that followed I continued to get continuous revelation, saw Yah move significantly in my life and wrote hundreds of articles which are included on the old website at http://www.etimin.org/msg3.htm

In the years that followed I fasted periodically, most significantly on the Day of Atonement.

Then, towards the end of 2010, Yah impressed on me to go on seven three day fasts at intervals of seven days, three day’s fasting and four days eating normally, culminating on the 26^th of December 2010 (Christmas).

On the first two fasts and the last fast I drank only a small amount of Grape Juice and ate a small amount of unleavened bread twice a day because I had to take medication.

On the remaining fasts I took the bread and wine morning and evening and drank a significant amount of water as well as I was advised that repeated withholding of liquid could cause permanent damage to my kidneys. My kidneys were quite painful at the end of the seventh fast and took some months to recover fully – so there is need for caution, do NOT do total three day fasts unless you are SURE Yah requires it.

Note that a total three day fast is required to break certain witchcraft and get rid of certain demons and curses and shift certain other things.

Over that period of fasting and in the months that followed my understanding of various things consolidated and I wrote well over one hundred articles all of which are on the new website at:

http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.org/Articles/tabid/503/language/en-US/Default.aspx

In 2010 I was also told that in order to enter into full blown ministry operating in the power gifts of the Spirit of Yah, conducting spiritual warfare at a level where one could combat major demons, witches, etc, heal the sick, raise the dead and by used for other miracles it was necessary to go on a forty day total fast only drinking water. I have met several people who have done such fasts and who walk in GREAT power and authority in the Spirit realm, one of these people had been used to raise about 19 people from the dead, one who had been in the morge for two days!

Note that you are likely to become extremely weak during a forty day water only fast and are unlikely to be able to engage in business or even normal domestic activities after about two to three weeks so the series of three day fasts is more practical for many people but is NOT a substitute for a forty day fast IF you are really going ALL OUT.

On the basis of this experience I have to say to you that IF you claim to be serious about serving Yah and you have not fasted at the sort of levels referred to above then you are kidding yourself and playing games.

IF you are serious about serving Yah you need to pray the prayers above REGULARLY and start fasting – it is as simple as that!

8. If you disagree with what is on the End Time Issue Ministries websites

If you disagree with what is on the two websites, taking account of the fact that particularly some of the older articles DO contain error and taking account of the fact that I may still have error I have not recognized then you are welcome to let me know you think I am in error.

BUT

Taking account that I have prayed most of the prayers above over more than a decade, that I have been through ALL the sanctification processes I mention above AND others and that I have fasted extensively I ask you to understand that I will NOT pay much attention to what you have to say in disagreement with me UNLESS you have gone through a similar cleansing process.

So, rather than dismissing me as a madman or heretic, rather than walking away and cutting me out of your life, rather than speaking ill of me, pray ALL the above prayers sincerely and regularly, examine your life and clean it up comprehensively, go on at least one series of eight three day fasts at ten day intervals, walk the road you find yourself on after the fasts for six months and then IF you still disagree with me we can sit down and talk – I FULLY expect that if you do what I have outlined here you will almost certainly AGREE with me on all the critical issues

AND

You will be far closer to Yah than you have ever imagined possible.

Conclusion

A high level of sanctification and hard work is required to come to a deep personal relationship with Yah and a clear understanding of what really IS truth.

2012.11.20 IF the Bible IS corrupt then WHAT do I do?

Last week I published an article “The bible is a corrupt book compiled by corrupt men” (article 2012.11.16).

A logical extension of that statement by Yah is the question “IF the Bible IS corrupt then WHAT do I do?”

I have asked the question myself on several occasions and have prayed about it further in the past week. Here is the answer:

1. Get closer to Yah

The fundamental reason that Yah hates the Bible (book) the way He does is that through their worship of, and reliance on, the book people are prevented from getting close to Him.

The primary reason for our existence IS to serve Yah, to worship Yah, to have deep relationship with Yah, to talk to Yah, to be His friend and companion and confidante in the world, to fight the battles on earth on His behalf and, ultimately, to reign with His Spirit to restore Yah’s rule on earth.

So, the first thing to do when you realise the bible is JUST a book is to TURN TO YAH with all your heart, mind, soul and strength and seek to develop a DEEP personal relationship with Him.

NOTHING is more important.

2. Stop worshiping the book {bible}

It is one thing to recognize that the book is NOT “the inerrant word of God”, that in fact it is NOT EVEN “the word of God”, that actually it contains errors, that in fact virtually every English translation is MASSIVELY corrupt and that even those that have more accurate language are corrupt – it is ANOTHER thing to walk out this revelation.

Remember that the Greek word “biblios” means book, as in the Afrikaans work “Biblioteek” which means “Library” = a collection of books.

Remember that the bible is an assemblage of writings approved about 600 AD by the same group of men who formally approved worship of Jesus, formally accepted the use of Greek based names such as Jesus (derived from Zeus), who appropriated the right to claim the book was inspired by the Creator, who approved “moving” the Sabbath from the seventh day of the week to the first, who approved the pagan feasts like Christmas and Easter, who legislated monogamy and discounted virginity, etc, etc.

The very genesis of the bible is corrupt – it is constituted of fragments of text, SOME of which were written by anointed writers or about anointed persons which is ALL that Satan permitted to remain about the things of Yah and then, having conceded a small degree of defeat Satan turned around and almost totally defused the value of those texts by causing men to worship them as “the inerrant Word of God”.

Having got this revelation directly from Yah in 2001 it took me about ten years to internalise it – ten years during which I CEASED reading the bible, ten years when for a season I drifted and, to some extent fell back, ten years when I did NOT know what to do. It is ONLY in the last couple of years that I have comfortably adjusted to this reality and come to terms with what I should do instead.

In fact, even a few months ago I complained to Yah that I was battling to get back close to Him and that once upon a time I would have immersed myself in the bible – “what am I to do now?” I asked Him – to which He replied “read your OWN writings – they are anointed and you do NOT know your own writings that well” subsequently He instructed me to compile all my more recent writings into a set of collated books, a task which is still pending as I regain my health.

Bottom line? There ARE other measures you can take instead of relying on the bible, these are set out below.

3. Stop worshiping men and relying on them

Another trap, as great as the trap of worshiping the bible, if NOT more of a trap, is the worship of men and reliance on men.

We are conditioned to rely on the preacher or teacher or Pharisee or Rabbi or other man or woman who hears Yah or who claims to hear Yah or who we believe hears Yah and NOT think for ourselves or not seek a personal relationship with Yah ourselves.

It is available to YOU to have a closer relationship with Yah than ANY other person on earth today IF you set your heart to it and make the sacrifices that are required – pray the prayers, do the things, be obedient NO MATTER what the price, seek Yah and He WILL be found by you for He DESIRES to be found by you.

Son of man, what makes you think that you are so important to Satan that Yah does NOT want a relationship with you?

Yah does save Satanists, Wizards and Witches when they ask or when close family ask so WHY would He NOT want a close relationship with YOU?

4. Learn to HEAR Yah clearly

A necessary step in the journey I am discussing is that you must learn to hear Yah clearly.

To do that you need to DECIDE that you want that.

You need to PRAY for Him to clear out your spiritual ears.

You need to pray all sorts of prayers, you need to fast AND above all you need to test obedience.

How will you know you are hearing Yah if you do NOT act on what you hear?

Test what you hear for reasonableness – remember that UNTIL you have set yourself apart to a considerable level and got rid of your demons (YES YOU DO HAVE DEMONS), got rid of all the other spiritual drek that you inherited from your forefathers and that you have accumulated during this life -- you are surrounded by spiritual noise that contaminates your hearing – there are other articles on this list that deal with setting apart in more detail.

BUT, remember, that most of the time most of what you have learned on earth is CONTRARY to the ways of Yah – most of what you have learned in church is corrupt and much is downright FALSE – so the day you choose to follow Yah alone you are going to find Him telling you things and telling you to DO things that are likely to rattle your cage!

Where necessary pray and pray again, He will NOT refuse you if you come to Him with a humble heart and ask for confirmation of clarification BUT a moment will come when He expects you to OBEY.

It will start out with easy things like “stop and pick up that hitch hiker and give them R100 / $10 and tell them I love them” – THAT is NOT easy at first – the more you are obedient the more the instructions and tasks will get more complicated and more challenging but will, initially, still be in the relatively easy realms of “give that man R1,000 / $100” or similar.

Over time you will find yourself getting more complex and more challenging instructions which will become more and more specific to what Yah wants to do in YOUR life personally.

You may go through a period of “go to this church and tell the pastor that I am well pleased with him” and then progress to “go that pastor and tell him he is out of line and if he persists in his current direction he will soon lose all hope of salvation” – be prepared to be thrown out of assemblies and to be vilified – when you get to that point you can begin to realise that perhaps you ARE starting to hear Yah clearly.

Remember ALWAYS that the ways of Yah are NOT the ways of the world and NOT the ways of the church – choosing to HEAR Yah and be obedient is a choice to follow a lonely life for most people simply because there are SO FEW who chose this course of action so you WILL find it lonely – BUT you WILL have prestigious company in heaven IF you overcome on this path for the rest of your life.

The more you are obedient the more you will hear. The more you argue and resist, the less you will hear until, in time, Yah will cease speaking to you if you persist in your disobedience and rebellion – so do NOT ask Him to teach you to hear Him UNTIL you are CERTAIN you are prepared to obey and, it is so that there will be times when you hesitate and hold back and have no one to turn to except Yah and THAT is where you REALLY want to be J

5. Learn to be LED by Yah in every possible way

As an extension of the previous point seek to be led by Yah in every possible way, pray prayers like “open the doors You want opened and close the doors You want closed”, “bring the people You want into my life and take those that You want out, out”, etc – refer previous articles for more on these prayers.

Then, be SENSITIVE to His leading, if you arrange a meeting and it is cancelled and arrange another and it is cancelled, let it go, it is likely Father does NOT want you to have that meeting now or at all.

Look for doors that are opening and go through them and doors that are closing and turn aside.

Note that the road is STRAIT and the gate is NARROW that leads to eternal life and that the gate is WIDE that leads to destruction – this is NOT the easy way, so as Yah leads you do NOT expect it all to be plain sailing and easy, there WILL be opposition in the spiritual realm which will manifest in the physical realm.

It takes years of self-discipline and seeking Yah to come to a place where you are REALLY led by the Spirit of Yah and FEW people achieve this – largely because we live in a culture where few people teach that this is possible and even fewer teach HOW to do it – that does NOT prevent YOU from seeking this, it IS available to ALL who seek it! J

6. Pray prayers that give Yah free reign in your life

Coupled with the previous points is how you pray and how you worship.

The articles on worship in recent weeks give you Psalms that have powerful words that will give Yah room to work in your life.

The various prayers set out in articles over the last few months and at intervals over the last more than a decade give an indication of what to pray.

The MOST IMPORTANT PRAYER, I think, is “Father, judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly” and second to this “show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it”.

Then DO what you find to do in response to Yah’s working in your life.

If you do NOT have the courage to pray these two prayers then admit to yourself that you are NOT really serious about all of this and be resigned to a BAD REPORT on the Day of Judgment.

If you REALLY believe there IS a Day of Judgment you should have NO difficulty praying these prayers J Trust Yah, He IS merciful and compassionate, and caring AND He will NOT allow you to be tested beyond what you can endure!

7. There are millions of other books, read them

You can still read the bible if you want PROVIDED you have the correct perspective on it, but once you recognize it for what it is, a useful historical record with some limited inspired passages then you are likely to find that one or two readings are sufficient.

It is written of Yah “in whom we live and move and have our being” – Yah is everywhere, Yah teaches and inspires engineers, scientists, artists, politicians, etc, etc – at whatever level is consistent with what is prayed by them, their families and others who intercede for them.

Thus there are millions of books with comparable levels of inspiration and reliability to the bible – ask Yah which you should read and be aware that He may only want you to read ONE paragraph!

I have hundreds of books, some I have not read at all, some I have read a few pages, some I picked up in a book store and opened at a particular paragraph which answered a particular question and I have never looked at again.

Being led by the Spirit of Yah is about being sensitive and obedient to His leading and NOT being legalistic – remember, He wants a DEEP PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU!

8. Read your own writings

If you have been walking reasonably closely with Yah for some time, have fasted and prayed and out of this leading have written articles or even letters, then go back and read your own writings.

As I mentioned above, some months ago Yah advised me to read my own writings and cautioned me that I do NOT understand or apply all that I have written myself.

If you visit my two websites you will find close to 1,000 articles some of which are highly anointed and accurate and some of which, particularly the older articles, are full of error. The articles published from late 2010 when I did seven three day fasts, are, I believe, reasonably reliable and reasonably inspired but there are others written years ago which are also important – so, if you have read the bible several times and have not read most of my writings, that might be a useful place to go next PROVIDED you see them as the writings of a man and do NOT start worshiping them!

9. Get VERY CLOSE to Yah

By now I hope that you have seen that the correct response to the realization that the bible is corrupt is to draw VERY CLOSE to Yah – that is the beginning and the end – Yah CREATED US to have relationship with Him, that is THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!

Conclusion

Yah clearly wants a deep personal relationship with each and every one of us. Worshiping the bible massively gets in the way of this so, turn to Yah and seek to know Him clearly and deeply, to hear Him, to be led by His Spirit in every possible way and seek to learn to be obedient.

2012.11.18 Satan’s Lies – Response to Rebuttal

In September I published the article 2012.09.03 “Satan's most effective lies”

In response to that a person on the list sent me a very detailed rebuttal and then subsequently suggested that I was heading towards forming a cult

Insofar as I am firmly of the opinion that it is NOT my job to force anybody to believe what I believe and that we each have a FREE CHOICE, I thought it would be appropriate to publish the rebuttal, since the party concerned obviously went to quite a bit of trouble compiling it and thereby give others on the list the opportunity to form their own opinions.

Following is the full email thread so start reading from the last item back up.

>>> EMAIL BEGINS <<<

Hi B…

Thank you for your concern

At the end of the day you believe that some voice, be it your intellect or some other voice told you that the bible is the word of God and that same voice or another voice told you that Jesus is God

We can argue intellectually all we like but it will get neither of us anywhere

Fact is you are so sure of your “truth” that you are prepared to make some harsh claims about the voice I am hearing from – which frankly is dangerous, I might just be hearing the true Creator!

I suggest for your prayerful consideration that there is ONLY one way to resolve this:

1. YOU pray regularly for the next six to twelve months “Father, I come to you in the name of Yahooshua and I ask you to JUDGE me SEVERELY and correct me HARSHLY that I can serve you more perfectly and I ask you to show me the level of my present DECEPTION and HOW to correct it” – respond to EVERYTHING that goes wrong and course correct until the judgment comes to an end – I have been praying this way since about 1998 so I have some basis to believe that I am more or less on track

2. Simultaneously with the above undertake seven three day fasts at seven day intervals seeking that your flesh is put to death, that you are drawn closer to Yah, that you be brought into His truth, etc and that He will cleanse you of all unrighteousness – concurrently apply all the sanctification processes outlined at http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.org/Articles/ArticleViewPage/tabid/511/ArticleId/91/0080-What-to-do-if-you-do-not-agree-with-what-is-posted-here.aspx

Also read through and apply http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.org/Articles/ArticleViewPage/tabid/511/ArticleId/274/2012-01-05-Getting-close-to-Yah-Appropriate-prayer-and-fasting-are-VITAL-the-answer-to-doctrinal-dif.aspx

3. If after doing all this and waiting at least six months you STILL believe I am in error THEN let me know and present me with a reasoned argument based on your own revelation and experience after praying these prayers – Yah wants FIRST HAND RELATIONSHIPS WITH US NOT SECOND HAND PROXY RELATIONSHIPS J

Warm regards and blessings,

James

At 11:31 AM 9/19/2012, you wrote:

Dear B…
Daddy Yah has clearly and repeatedly stated to me that the bible is NOT His word and therefore a whole spectrum of your arguments below fall flat

Plenty of cult leaders, such as Jim Jones, said the same thing. Jesus told the Jewish leaders in Mark 7:5-13, that they were never to do what you were doing and to do so made their worship vain.

Furthermore He has clearly and repeatedly stated that Yahooshua is 100% human, that it was the anointing of the Spirit of Yah ON Yahooshua that performed the miracles and spoke through Yahooshua and that the Trinity is a false pagan i.e. Satanic, concept – Yahooshua has come to me personally and confirmed this

I don't care what you think or what spirit you claim you have..if it disagrees with the Bible, it is not of God. PERIOD. God made VERY clear that He gave His truth in the Bible. Paul commended the Bereans for testing new truth against the Bible. What you are doing is what cult leaders throughout history have done and there is NOTHING of God in it. PERIOD. No matter how sincere you may be.

Accordingly, since I find Yah and Yahooshua to be much more trustworthy witnesses than any of the men you cite I regret that I cannot agree with you
Warm regards and blessings,
James

B…>>>

You are not following the tested words of Yah or Yahooshua in a number of areas and God does not conflict with Himself. You've got another spirit leading you down a dangerous road that is the opposite of the road Yahweh told us to travel. I know of cases like this, which eventually ended up in Christians getting involved in crime, vandalism and murder. You may not. But, there's no chance that what you are advocated in this and certain other things is of God. Impressions in your mind, must ALL be tested by the Bible...or else there's a HIGH chance, they are not of God. This is the #1 error of cults throughout history.

This is a book you REALLY need to read. It started with a Bible study group encountering an angel...who step by step led them to have the exact same belief you do...that the Bible was outdated...they could ignore it for new revelations, etc. It eventually ended in them murdering people. This happened in a city I lived in.
http://books.google.co.kr/books?id=vG2aM0r-9KgC&printsec=frontcover&dq=roger+morneau&source=bl&ots=m8cqgz49Rc&sig=JrVlODkD8GPnldMq_iE8Zi04tZM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=fZFcUMC_DYmWiALVgYHYBw&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=roger%20morneau&f=false

This will probably not happen for you..but what you are involved in IS a major deception and will hurt you and others (it may be one reason for your wife leaving...that's a guess...but could be right). And Satan will push you as far as he can with this deception that you are involved in. That's what he did with the group above. Each person has limits where they can be pushed..and yours may be different from this group...but ignoring the Bible as the basic test of God's truth is one of the most serious ways that Satan has deceived cult leaders and their followers for centuries and more.

You've GOT to escape this delusion if you're really going to truly be on God's side.

My prayers and deep concern is with you.
God bless,

Lies about the bible and other books Many people believe that “The Bible is the Word of God”, this is false, the bible is simply a collection of writings, some of which are to some degree inspired by Yah or about the lives of people who at some level served Yah but it is NOT THE WORD of Yah or anything that approximates that. Yah has inspired billions of pages and it is a gross insult to limit Him to one “little book” (His words to me).

Building huge and complex teachings on the semantic interpretation of text in the bible is a massive mistake; the same applies to other books, like the Quran which are accorded similar reverence.
Lies about Jesus and the Trinity In the “Christian” area one of the most pervasive lies is the lie that Jesus is God and that there is a Trinity.

Firstly, his name was Yahooshua, which means “Yah is salvation” so, by the very definition of his name, Yahooshua was NOT Yah.

Secondly, he was a human being, the result of a creative miracle much LESS significant than the creative miracle whereby Adam was created or the miracle whereby Chavah {Eve} was created – yes, he WAS filled with the Spirit of Yah and thus Yah spoke through him and performed miracles through him but that same anointing is available to YOU today IF you will truly seek Yah fully.

Thirdly, “Trinity” is a pagan, that is Satanic, concept.

Hi,
With all due respect, I think you should read/listen to this links:
1) The Trinity is fully biblical and Jesus while he was a man, was fully God and was never created. He claimed to be the "I AM" The Yahweh of the Old Testament. He proved He had divine power by resurrecting and promising His followers eternal life.
http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Names_of_G-d/Trinity/trinity.html

See also:
http://marshill.com/media/doctrine/trinity-god-is

The trinity doctrine starts in Genesis with God saying, Let US make man and all three members of the trinity being present there.

Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us.

The great Shema of Israel was essentially trinitarian in nature, using the term echad which means unity among several entities, as in a man and woman become one flesh, or the church is one body, but many parts:

http://www.hebrew4christians.com/Scripture/Torah/The_Shema/the_shema.html

The OT prophecies that the Messiah will be the Mighty God:

Isaiah 9:6 For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

John is especially strong in saying that Jesus is equal to God:

John 1:18 No one has ever seen God. But the unique One, who is himself God, is near to the Father’s heart. He has revealed God to us.

Jesus claimed to be Yahweh:

John 8:58 Jesus answered, “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was even born, I Am![k]” 59 At that point they picked up stones to throw at him. But Jesus was hidden from them and left the Temple.

Why did they pick up stones to throw at Him? They understood full well that He was claiming equality with God:

John 10:30 The Father and I are one.”
31 Once again the people picked up stones to kill him. 32 Jesus said, “At my Father’s direction I have done many good works. For which one are you going to stone me?”
33 They replied, “We’re stoning you not for any good work, but for blasphemy! You, a mere man, claim to be God.”

Later Thomas professed that Jesus was Lord and God:
John 20:27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand into the wound in my side. Don’t be faithless any longer. Believe!”
28 “My Lord and my God!” Thomas exclaimed.
29 Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.”

When Paul and others were called God, they were horrified and rejected that. Jesus never did, not to the pharisees, not to Peter, not to Thomas.

Jesus is either God or a horrible blasphemous sinner. There are no other options.

B) THE BIBLE’S UNRIVALED ACCURACY & LOGICAL REASONS THE RESURRECTION IS TRUE:
While the Bible doesn't claim that it is infallible/inerrant in all parts, many parts are directly from God and the most accurate and truthful things that exist in this world. Bible writers state very clearly when they are conveying the words of God and when they are talking about their own ideas in most cases.

Dr. Martin Lawrence, Ph.D. in medieval history, explains that the evidence for the Bible’s accuracy is stronger than most documents in secular history.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqZP91hGPLQ

These videos by Josh McDowell and others talk of solid reasons why the Bible has an unrivaled track record of accuracy and credibility.
The Authenticity of the Bible - Part 1 - Josh McDowell (Relativity is popular, but truth is real and provable. Knowledge and perspective changes, but we can still evaluate evidence.www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze0shXucArA

The Authenticity of the Bible - Part 2 - Josh McDowell explains 2 critical tests about the Bible:
1) Is the Bible today essentially the same as when it was written?
2) Is what was written originally true?

2 historical tests of accuracy:
1) The time gap between original autographa and earliest manuscript of the Bible is shorter than almost all other books of history. We have more time type evidence for the Bible than any other 10 pieces of classical literature combined.
2) We have far more manuscripts of the Bible than anything else (so it’s easier to do linguistic tests and compare and find what original said)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RNXNXRJH498 (esp. ~5:00+)

The Authenticity of the Bible - Part 3 (charts of the above 2 questions and historical comparisonsshowing most books of history have less evidence than the Bible)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kjwBdoR2wI

Here are similar charts. Combined:

2 good charts & quotes: http://discovercreation.org/blog/2011/09/

The Bible has gone WAY, WAY beyond any level of extraordinary evidence in comparison to other books of history.

The Authenticity of the Bible - Part 4 - McDowell explains how the Bible was written by eyewitnesses or researchers, using laws of legal evidence. It appealed to many credible witnesses who agreed on crucial details.)
( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awe9pIqQTKM

The Authenticity of the Bible - Part 5 - McDowell points out that the disciples were threatened with death, but never denied the claims of what they had seen. Many people have died for lie, but they thought it was true. Apostles knew 100% for certain if Jesus’ resurrection was a lie or true. “They signed their testimony in blood.” as Tertullian said. Even the Watergate conspirators couldn’t keep a secret and their whole careers were on the line. There is no stronger testimony than dying for what a person has seen firsthand. There’s no rational way it could be a lie.

Andre Kohl (graduate from UCLA), the magician’s magician, has invented of ~2,000 illusions/magical effects. He has never been fooled by another illusionist and loves to expose hoaxes. He was challenged to refute the miracles of Jesus. Kohl tried, but failed and became a Christian. He explained that Jesus’ miracles could not have been done by magic because:

1) Most illusions are done indoors, but most of Jesus’ miracles were outdoors

2) The environment wasn’t controlled which is a must for most illusions.

3) Jesus didn’t have semi trucks of modern technology as illusionists do.

The resurrection was the biggest miracle that couldn’t be explained for reasons given above.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nJNX46yKhw

See also Andre Kohl’s personal testimony:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdyUURrHnBE

The Authenticity of the Bible - Part 6 - McDowell explains that the disciples didn’t have any inkling that the Messiah had to die. They expected a conquering Messiah as they had been taught their whole lives. Many in history have died for a great cause. But, the disciple’s great Cause died on the cross. There’s only one reason that could have changed to be faithful unto death. That reason is because they genuinely saw Jesus resurrected.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ml5T5JFaLM

B) LEGAL REASONS THE RESURRECTION IS TRUE
Dr. Simon Greenleaf was a Harvard professor of law who wrote “A Treatise on the Law of Evidence”, (considered by many to be one of the greatest legal volumes ever written). He was a skeptic determined to expose the "myth" of the Resurrection & highly qualified to do just that. Here is a couple review of his legal work:
“It is no mean honor to America that her schools of jurisprudence have produced two of the first writers & best esteemed legal authorities of this century -- the great & good man, Judge Story, & his worthy & eminent associate, Professor Greenleaf. Upon the existing Law of Evidence (by Greenleaf) more light has shone from the New World than from all the lawyers who adorn the courts of Europe.” London Law Magazine

His students challenged him to use the same methods he used to determine truth in the court to analyze the evidence for the case of the resurrection of Jesus. He accepted & after significant investigation, the evidence was so compelling that he became a Christian & documented in a book (which is free online) the reasons for his conclusions, saying:

“The great truths which the apostles declared, were, that Christ had risen from the dead, & that only through repentance from sin, & faith in him, could men hope for salvation. This doctrine they asserted with one voice, everywhere, not only under the greatest discouragements, but in the face of the most appalling terrors that can be presented to the mind of man.

Their master had recently perished as a malefactor, by the sentence of a public tribunal. His religion sought to overthrow the religions of the whole world. The laws of every country were against the teachings of his disciples. The interests & passions of all the rulers & great men the world were against them. Propagating this new faith, even in the most inoffensive & peaceful manner, they could expect nothing but contempt, opposition, revilings, bitter persecutions, stripes, imprisonments, torments & cruel deaths. Yet this faith they zealously did propagate ; & all these miseries they endured undismayed, nay, rejoicing.

As one after another was put to a miserable death, the survivors only prosecuted their work with increased vigor & resolution. The annals of military warfare afford scarcely an example of the like heroic constancy, patience & unflinching courage. They had every possible motive to review carefully the grounds of their faith, & the evidences of the great facts & truths which they asserted…It was therefore impossible that they could have persisted in affirming the truths they have narrated, had not Jesus actually risen from the dead, & had they not known this fact as certainly as they knew any other fact.” Simon Greenleaf, “An Examination of the Testimony of the Four Evangelists by the Rules of Evidence Administered in the Courts of Justice”, p.52-53.

It has created more schools, more theories of education, and more systems than has any other one force. More than any other power in history it has impelled men to fight suffering, whether that suffering has come from disease, war or natural disasters. It has built thousands of hospitals, inspired the emergence of the nursing and medical professions, and furthered movement for public health and the relief and prevention of famine. Although explorations and conquests which were in part its outgrowth led to the enslavement of Africans for the plantations of the Americas, men and women whose consciences were awakened by Christianity and whose wills it nerved brought about the abolition of slavery (in England and America). Men and women similarly moved and sustained wrote into the laws of Spain and Portugal provisions to alleviate the ruthless exploitation of the Indians of the New World…By its name and symbol, the most extensive organization ever created for the relief of the suffering caused by war, the Red Cross, bears witness to its Christian origin.

It includes many another humanitarian projects and movements, ideals in government, the reform of prisons and the emergence of criminology, great art and architecture, and outstanding literature."

Dr. Randy L. Wysong says, "Evolution can be thought of as sort of a magical religion. Magic is simply an effect without a cause, or at least a competent cause. 'Chance,' 'time,' and 'nature,' are the small gods enshrined at evolutionary temples. Yet these gods cannot explain the origin of life. These gods are impotent. Thus, evolution is left without competent cause and is, therefore, only a magical explanation for the existence of life..."

Conclusion

There are massive complex and convoluted arguments against just about everything that is published on this list – that does NOT make what is published here wrong, it simply means that YOU are faced with a substantial challenge in discerning the truth J

Ultimately, unless someone is prepared to pray for judgment NOW in this life if they are in error their opinion cannot be trusted – and even then you probably need to give them several years of praying that prayer before they have been refined enough to be reliable.

2012.11.16 “The bible is a corrupt book compiled by corrupt men”

In reading what follows it is appropriate for me to give you some historical context:

1968+/- I started reading the Bible because I had been told it was “The Word of God” got as far as Abraham with multiple women, conflicted with the church teaching, threw the book away

1993 – dramatic encounter with the Almighty – knew now for certain that He existed and that I was on my way to Hell if he had not intervened, found people who spoke sense and used the bible as a detailed source of reference material and teachings that made sense – took my bible, held it up to Yah and prayed “Father these people say this is your word, it does not make any sense to me, I chose to believe it is your word and I ask you to answer all my questions”

In the months and years that followed I read the bible (the word means book) over 20 times from cover to cover and another 15 times or more in the New Testament in diverse translations

2001 – Father says to me – “the bible is NOT my word and it is sin to worship it”

In the years that follow He progressively shows me error in the book – I struggle, for eight years I totally believed it WAS His word and used that language in all that I wrote, in my interaction with others, etc – I had invested huge amounts of time proving things from the bible on the basis that it was the final authority but slowly I came to understand what He was saying

2010 – late December, having just completed seven three day fasts over seven weeks for purification of my doctrine and to move closer to Yah amongst other things He says to me “son of man, do you see how this people limit me to one tiny book”

In the months that follow I write various articles each of which is more strongly worded than the last in positioning the bible as a collection of writings compiled by men, often from fragments of manuscripts and falsely deified by men who were responsible for codification of diverse gross errors through the Roman church about 600 years after Yahooshua

Earlier this week, again corresponding with my friend who has asked to be judged severely and corrected harshly – remember that in terms of where he now is he does NOT have the luxury of having things soft soaped or made palatable – he is out on the streets with hardly any food and has lost almost everything – he needs the truth URGENTLY – I was impressed to write:

“You write of straying from Father through people worship -- totally agree a major risk

“Yet you fall into that trap through "bible worship" -- you constantly make reference to "the scriptures" as though there is such a thing

“The bible is a corrupt book compiled by corrupt men from corrupt texts and containing only a few passages that are true "scripture" that is breathed directly by Yah through a highly anointed spokesman {prophet}

“You are constantly in my thoughts and my prayers

“I know you will come out the other side of this stronger in your faith and relationship with Yah PROVIDED you constantly examine yourself and your beliefs and deal with sin and error”

I was surprised myself when Yah expressed Himself through me so directly and forcibly – I understand Him to say to me that His patience has run out with regard to the lies about the bible

Conclusion

Yah has expressed Himself very forcibly regarding the bible – calling it a corrupt book compiled by corrupt men from corrupt texts containing only a few passages of true scripture – this does NOT mean it is not a useful reference only that its correct position in the scheme of things MUST be understood clearly

2012.11.11 The Majority is ALWAYS Wrong

There is a strong need on the part of most human beings to rely on group consensus as an indication of the validity of a particular position or belief and it is common for believers to cite the majority in support of a position that they are defending or arguing for.

Over the years Yah (the Almighty) has said to me on several occasions that “the majority is ALWAYS wrong”.

In 1995 I was wrestling with a critical area of doctrine where what I thought I was hearing from Yah was diametrically opposed to what the church was teaching. I approached a man who I considered to be a highly anointed servant of Yah according to my paradigm of the time and told him what I believed Yah was showing me.

His response was to the effect of “James, I can find you 15,000 Bible School graduates and NOT one will agree with you”.

At the time that seemed like quite a heavy argument, so I went back to Yah, quite intimidated.

Yah’s response to me was that this man was correct, he COULD find 15,000 Bible School graduates that would agree with him BUT they were ALL in error.

Yah then challenged me as to whether I would go with Him and what He had taught me or go with the majority, I chose to go with Him and that is the choice I have chosen to make repeatedly since then in response to what He has taught me.

This has happened so frequently that it has now reached a point that if I find myself considering any area of teaching relating to Yah and the things of Yah that if an opinion is widely held or, in fact, a majority opinion within the body of believers then I expect to find over time that it is in error.

Thus, the minute that anyone uses an argument based on majority opinion I immediately consider the possibility that the majority opinion IS in error – Yah has said to me that this is a universal principle.

Keep in mind that through the ages there have only ever been small numbers of people who have been at some material level aligned with Yah on a reasonably consistent basis – consider Noah, Moshe {~~Moses~~}, David, Yahooshua, Shaul {~~Paul~~}, etc.

We are commanded to listen to Yah, to have a personal relationship with Him, to hear directly from Him and there are an extremely small number who do this and even most of them have some level of corruption because they have not yet achieved the required level of set-apartness {sanctification} and knowledge and experience to hear with any read degree of accuracy – remember always that there is a cacophony of FALSE voices in the spirit realm all of which are inundating us with false messages.

Conclusion

Yah’s truths are submerged by false messages, the majority are ALWAYS wrong when it comes to the things of Yah.

2012.08.06 Bible study versus deep relationship

Returning to the subject of the bible, the world is full of bible schools, many believers aspire to go to bible schools, that is the RIGHT thing to do … isn’t it?

Actually NO!

Bible schools exalt intellect and worship the bible.

Bible schools are temples for the worship of the book!

Yah wants deep personal relationships with us NOT one or two or three years at the “Best bible school in the land”.

Bible schools teach and perpetuate error.

They provide lowest common denominator teaching.

They are infested with demons and the false doctrines those demons support.

It is written that Yah has said “seek me and I will be found by you” – in fact, Yah is constantly saying that to billions of people, including those in bible schools and nearly all of them are NOT listening and therefore seeking because they would rather “sit at the feet” of some scribe or Pharisee who teaches intellectually.

Yes there ARE good things that come out of bible schools BUT there are better things, MUCH BETTER THINGS, that come out of seeking Yah, seeking His face, praying “enlarge my territory in knowledge of you and your ways and your will and your kingdom and in anointing, help me to draw closer to you, help me to hear your voice clearly and to act on it, help me to see only that which you want me to see, hear only that which you want me to hear, think only that which you want me to think, speak only that which you want me to speak, go to only those places that you want me to go, read only that which you want me to read, write only that which you want me to write, contract only that which you want me to contract” … etc.

Get on your face, literally FLAT ON THE FLOOR before Yah and cry out to Him to speak to you to guide you.

Fast and pray until you hear Him clearly.

Pray, “bring the people you want into my life and take the people you do NOT want in my life out, open the doors you want opened and close the doors you want closed” … etc.

If you pray all the prayers above be prepared for your life to change radically and be alert and sensitive to see when Yah is answering them, taking people out, bringing people in, etc, etc.

Lay down your life for Yah.

Commit yourself whole heartedly to Him.

When Yahooshua said that he was “the way, the truth and the light” all he was saying was follow my example, live a life without sin, lay down your life and spend every waking minute seeking to do the will of your Father in Heaven – it is not difficult but it IS difficult, it will test you, it will try you but you have a choice minute by minute, day by day, week by week, month by month, year by year – will you get close to Yah and follow Him or will you follow SATAN – there really are ONLY two options – it is a dipole – Yah at one end of the continuum and Satan at the other – so if you are NOT getting closer to Yah by default you ARE getting closer to Satan.

Check it out, it is simple logic – will you get closer to Yah in a bible school trying to figure out what some other human tells you or in the wilderness throwing yourself on Yah, making yourself totally dependent on Him, fasting and praying and fasting and praying and seeking after Him, the Almighty Creator of the Heavens and the earth?

I guarantee that bible school is NOT the way, the other is the way, the way of self-sacrifice of laying down your life of crying out – it just LOOKS more difficult but actually it is NOT J

And, by the way, I did NOT tell you to give up your day job – you are going to have to work hard to support yourself so you are NOT at the whim of other human beings who may support you financially in ministry!

Conclusion

There is widespread belief that Bible School is the way to go for those who are extremely committed to Yah, in fact it is completely the WRONG WAY to go – it will lead you into error, deception, demonic infestation and general wrong thinking.

Rather call on Yah, fast and pray and seek a deep personal relationship.

2012.08.01 Demonically inspired bible versions -- rebuttal

Download doc version

In response to the article on “Demonically inspired bible versions” I received the following email:

“Dr. Robertson,”

“While you make some wise statements (such as separating commentary and the Bible), much in this is just flat out wrong in so many areas. I've been working in linguistics for 20 years and also done a lot of studying in science and history and there is pretty much no document of history that we are sure is closer to the original autographs than the Bible. This chart summarizes the facts for the New Testament:

“See it here if you can't see it in this e-mail:

http://www.truth-is-life.org/GoodFaithNeedsEvidence.html

“While no translation can convey every nuance of the original language, it is absolutely ridiculous to assert that all Bibles have demonic influences involved in it. You're playing into the hands of atheists with this argument and MANY others you have made and basically calling Jesus and the apostles liars, since they put very strong confidence in the Bible. You are not using any sort of consistent standards in evaluation at all.

“I'm not sure why you are so afraid of trusting the Bible, but it's likely because you swallowed the myth of inerrancy. Please show me where the Bible claims that its writers are infallible. Inspired YES. But, where does being inspired mean that the author will never ever make a mistake again. It simply doesn't. But, the opposite demonic deception to that is to claim the Bible isn't inspired. Satan doesn't care whether we teach a deception that can cause disallusionment one one side or if we diminish the authority of the Bible to similar to secular books on the other. Either one is contributing to destroying faith and your claims in this area and others often are lining up with the arguments of atheists and do no spiritual good, and sometimes great harm to people.

I don't have time to answer you in detail right now.. but am trying to finish an article on translations..and will send it when I finish if I can remember..remind me in some weeks if I don't.
B…”

Following is my reply:

Dear B…

Thank you for your feedback

I have to say that having reread my article and read your comments a few times I am unclear why you say what you say about what I wrote

I advise AGAINST interpretative and paraphrase versions and you seem to read this as against all versions even though I recommend three versions and state that I have read the bible numerous times and recommend reading the full book so I am unclear how you draw your conclusions

I was NOT specific about the versions I was referring to because I try NOT to get into writing against specific people or items and because the problem is wider than the couple of versions that I am specifically aware of, Yah keeps me away from these things for the most part

In the interests of responding explicitly to your concerns two versions that I had in mind when I wrote were “The Living Bible” and “The Message” – both of these versions abound with human interpretation that goes way beyond the source manuscripts and Yah has told me NOT to read them, there are other such versions that should be avoided strenuously – since demons are behind human error these versions are axiomatically demonically inspired

Regarding your point about atheists, I have to say that anyone who in any way links the bible to combating atheism is FAR OFF THE MARK – the bible is a compilation of historical writings by diverse authors – it has been assembled by men, mostly from writings that a group of persons in about 600 AD by committee decided were inspired and declared to be “The Canon of Scripture”, these same men declared Ieousus (Jesus) to be God, legislated monogamy and perpetrated numerous other crimes of violence against the true teachings of the Almighty Creator

The book (which is what bible means – derived from the Greek “biblios” meaning book as in “Biblioteek” Afrikaans for library) is NOT in any way, shape or form an instrument to prove the existence of the Creator. Yah has clearly said this to many people, including saying it directly to me – eighteen months ago He said to me, as I walked past a large book store in a local mall “son of man, do you see how this people limits me to one tiny book!” – I looked into the bookstore and saw thousands of books which included the bible, supposedly the ONLY inspired book of its stature

B…, do you have any idea how absurd the statements that you make are? Do you have any idea how hurtful they are to Daddy Yah? He has inspired millions of people to write billions of pages and you place particular importance on a small book compiled from fragments of inspired writings

I myself, in the past 14 years have written roughly as many words regarding the things of Yah as are contained in the bible and I hold that at least some of those words contain a comparable level of inspiration to what is contained in the bible, Yah says “more”

I am ONE man, I still have, Yah willing, many years to live and, Yah willing, I intend to write much more, I have lists of articles that I have yet to write

There are numerous other men and women of this generation who have written works inspired at some level, including many highly inspired works

How do you justify a doctrine which says that Yah spoke to a minuscule number of men for a few fragments of time to inspire the writings in the bible and apart from that has been silent at the level of precision that is found in the bible?

The idea is preposterous – I say this with the full knowledge that for about eight years I believed this lie

I believed it until one day Yah informed me that the book was NOT His “Word”, was NOT all inspired, contained errors and that it was sin to worship the book!!!

It has taken me ten years to come to a place where I have largely worked my mistaken beliefs about the bible OUT of my system and now come to terms with the fact that it is a useful reference book PERIOD!

Did you know that there are 66 books in the modern Protestant bible?

Did you know that 6 is the number of man?

Did you know that 666 is the number of the beast – also known as Satan?

When I first took on belief about the bible Yah pointed the above out to me and said “men and Satan have been messing with the book, there are important manuscripts locked away in the vaults of the Vatican that contain information NOT in the book” – over time He told me that those missing manuscripts included some which clearly dispel the myth that Jesus is God, denounce the Trinity, denounce monogamy, etc

Yah taught me much through the bible and He taught me much in response to the questions I asked Him in response to what I read in the bible – frequently those answers came directly from Him and many other times they came through other writings, some inspired, some not that were NOT in the bible.

At some level Yah HATES the bible because of the lies men have woven around it, the bible is one of the greatest demonic strongholds on earth today, it is one of the most highly revered and worshiped Satanic idols of this age

What you write directly evidences this

Any person who comes to belief in God through statistics about the bible has done just that – come to belief in God (aka Satan) through worship of an idol

They way to Yah is to SEEK HIM because those who SEEK HIM will FIND HIM

I know that Yah exists NOT because of a little book that I happen to have dozens of copies of but because I have a deep personal relationship with Him

Because He leads me and guides me in every area of my life

Because I trust Him and know Him

Because when I was at the point of death HE SPOKE TO ME and brought me back from the very brink of damnation

After that, because men I trusted said the bible was “The Living Word of God” I took the book, held it up before Yah and vowed to believe that and asked Him to answer my questions, He did and after eight years He told me to read the Quran and after I read the Quran and read that Yahooshua (Isa, Jesus) was NOT Yah and that it was sin and angered Yah for people to worship him and that the bible was NOT the Word of God and that it was sin and angered Yah for people to worship the bible I went before Him and asked if it was true and he said it was – Yahooshua {Jesus} was a man and the bible was just a book – subsequently He sent Yahooshua to me to confirm that he was just a man – those two points alone divide Muslims and Christians and are at the root of the wars in the Middle East – the children of Abraham warring against each other over false doctrines – note that in the centuries since Mohammed the Muslims have ALSO got into much error so they war over the beams in one another’s eye’s

The answer to the atheist is NOT statistics about the book, it is a living relationship with the Almighty Creator and a sober understanding of the realities of this age

If you are still in the church you are deceived and in serious error because the church is deceived and in serious error

If you are still calling yourself a Christian, you are way out of line because Christianity worships a man they call Christ when Christ refers to the anointing of the Spirit of Yah ON men

If you are NOT in the wilderness desperately seeking Yah then your life is a futile waste of time

If you do NOT know HIS VOICE personally then you are hearing other voices and are destined for that judgment which says “depart from me you worker of iniquity I never KNEW YOU”

Can you honestly say that YOU know Yah and that, more importantly, Yah knows you?

If not your life is worthless

Unless you can persuade an atheist on the basis of your personal deep revelation of the reality of Yah and the basis of your deep personal EXPERIENCE of Yah your testimony is as filthy rags and your statistics about the book are idolatrous offerings on the altar of Satan

The reason there are such positive statistics about the bible is BECAUSE SATAN WANTS IT THAT WAY – it blesses Satan greatly to see sincere people like you write the sort of stuff you have written to me precisely because he WANTS people to worship the book and in-so-doing worship Satan

The fact that you cite twenty years of academic study and NOT twenty years of personal wall with the Almighty says MUCH about you and, my brother, it is NOT complimentary

I urge you to repent of your worship of the book and turn to worship the ONE TRUE MIGHTY ONE YAH THE ETERNALLY SELF-EXISTING and seek a deep personal relationship with Him!

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you and grant you His peace and, by the way, pray constantly for Him to judge you severely and correct you harshly that you may serve Him more perfectly and ask Him constantly to show you the level of your present deception and how to correct it.

Once you have prayed those prayers consistently for a year let us talk again!

Warm regards and blessings,

James

Conclusion

It is extreme foolishness to worship the bible and place great importance on the bible. It IS a useful reference book BUT it is only one small fragment of all the inspired writings on earth today – ask Yah to lead you to the writings that He wants YOU to read right now.

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

2012.07.17 Demonically inspired bible versions

In citing the bible and reading the bible it is important to exercise caution.

All translations are filtered through modern understanding and doctrine which is generally filtered through the lies that were almost universally adopted by th Christian Church during the 6^th century.

Some versions are NOT translations at all, they are interpretations. Some of these versions are particularly dangerous because they present as biblical their interpretation. Avoid reading such versions. In at least one case it is alleged that the translator / interpreter made such gross adaptations that he was struck dead by Yah within a few years of releasing his version.

Because of this error it can be taken that all translations have, at some level, demonic influence and they should ALL be read prayerfully IF you read them.

It is advisable NOT to read bibles with embedded commentary as a regular practice – I have encountered a significant number of people who quote the Commentary and hold that it is part of the Bible because it is in a book with the name bible on the cover.

Given that every single version contains errors it is highly advisable to read as many different translations as possible and to refrain from reading any particular translation more than a few of times – each translation brings its own revelation and its own error – read as many as you can including the specialized “fringe” translations.

Some versions have been translated by prophetic people and have a reasonably high and sometimes very high level of inspiration in the translation while others have been translated by committees and academics and contain little or no inspiration other than demonic inspiration.

Versions that I find useful include:

The Amplified Bible – very useful because it addresses the very limited ability of English to represent the Hebrew essence of the words – widely available in Christian book shops or through Amazon at:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=amplified+bible

The Scriptures – very useful because it reverts to the fundamental Hebrew names and other words – a bit difficult to read at first but very valuable once you get used to it – if you read no other version you need to read this – available in various free download formats from;

http://isr-messianic.org/downloads/free-scriptures-downloads.html

as well as physical editions can be purchased from this site or through Amazon at:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=the+scriptures&rh=n%3A283155%2Ck%3Athe+scriptures

The Living Torah series – Anointed Jewish Translation and Commentary, available from Amazon at:

http://www.amazon.com/The-Living-Torah-Translation-Traditional/dp/0940118351

There are three further books in the suite covering the entire “Old Testament”

Over the years I have read the Old Testament in excess of twenty times in probably about fifteen translations and read the New Testament in excess of thirty five times probably in in excess of twenty five translations – I have learned a very considerable amount through reading such a diversity of translations.

I have also virtually NEVER read a version with a significant commentary other than the Living Torah where I learned a lot of Jewish information that would not have been available to me any other way. I strongly advise AGAINST reading versions with commentaries as routine practice.

As stated in other articles, I strongly recommend that you read the writings of others in addition to the bible. If you have read the entire bible more than a couple of times I suggest you look at other reading material.

If you have read the New Testament but NOT the Old I strongly recommend that you read the Old in at least the three translations cited above but once you have done that move on to other sources.

If you have not read everything on the two End Time Issue Ministries websites you might like to consider doing that, the older material on the old sitewww.ETIMin.org contains error in some places but I have a high level of confidence in the material on the new site www.EndTimeIssueMinistries

Conclusion

Bible versions with large amounts of artistic license and interpretation are generally demonically inspired and should be avoided.

If you are going to read the bible read the ENTIRE bible from Genesis to Revelation AND read as many different translations and versions as you can find. Avoid reading the same translation or version more than a few times. Three highly recommended versions are listed.

2012.07.15 Old Testament versus New Testament

One person has told me that Deuteronomy 24 is “Old Testament” and that they are “under the New Testament and therefore under Grace”.

There are a number of articles relating to this on the two websites but let me summarize:

1. There is NO SUCH THING as Old Testament and New Testament – they are divisions imposed by men who were seeking to distinguish the Christian Church from its Hebrew roots;

2. There is a New Covenant through Yahooshua which is an elaboration and extension and improvement of the covenant given through Moshe {Moses} which was necessary because of the massive degeneration of mankind by the time of Yahooshua;

3. There are numerous other covenants listed in the book that are relevant – the same person had no hesitation in claiming “the blessings of Abraham” although they relate to a covenant much older than the Covenant through Moshe;

4. Yah has entered into BILLIONS of Covenants with human beings through the ages;

5. Reading ONLY the so-called New Testament, as in the case of the party concerned, is GROSS ERROR – you cannot understand Yahooshua UNLESS you understand him through the lens of the so-called Old Testament – Yahooshua was an OLD TESTAMENT emissary and spokesman (Apostle and Prophet);

6. The New Testament reads differently to the Old Testament because the original Hebrew / Aramaic manuscripts were all destroyed by the Jews and the Romans and so the New Testament is based on Greek TRANSLATIONS which are inexact and preserved only as fragments of parchment which differ among themselves to the tune of well over a thousand discrepancies;

7. The New Testament was translated through the filters imposed by the Roman Church and consolidated in the era around 600 AD when all sorts of gross errors, including the so-called “Canon of Scripture” were legislated and imposed, these filters include the lie of monogamy, the lie of the divinity of Jesus, the name Jesus, the lie of the Trinity, the lie of “the bible is the Word of God”, the name “The LORD”, etc, etc, etc – these errors persist in the Christian Church today ALL OF WHICH continues in the tradition of the Roman church, referred to in Revelation as “the great harlot” – this refers to the ENTIRE Christian Church NOT just the Roman Catholic Church – at a fundamental level there is no basic distinction;

8. The New Testament was translated from the Greek to English with no attempt to harmonize the translation with the Hebrew, so we find:

a. Mary versus Miriam;

b. Jesus versus Joshua versus Yahooshua;

c. John versus Jonathan versus Yahoochanan;

d. Cross versus stake;

e. Christ versus anointed, anointing, anointed one;

f. Paul versus Shaul;

g. Etc, etc

This creates an IMPRESSION of difference that is NOT real and which clouds people’s understanding dramatically.

9. Yahooshua clearly stated that he had come to FULFIL the Torah of Moshe NOT to change it.

Thus any argument that bases itself on Old Testament versus New Testament is gross error and quite likely to be heresy of the worst kind.

If you ARE going to read the bible, please read from Genesis to Revelation as one continuous thread taking account of the fact that the “books” of the bible are NOT in chronological order and differ from the sequence used by the Jews. It is vital to read other writings as well. There is a large amount given by Yah and recorded with varying levels of accuracy on the two websites referenced at the end of this article. I am confident that the material on the second website is of a relatively high level of accuracy.

Conclusion

Yah’s interaction with mankind is huge and diverse, the Old Testament and New Testament are a single progression of account relating to Yah’s interaction with man. Any argument based on New Testament versus Old Testament is almost certainly false.

2012.07.09 Believers who abdicate their intellect

One of the major factors that turned me off the church and religion in my twenties and thirties was the extent to which the church on the one hand said “the Bible is the Word of God” and then proceeded to teach exactly the opposite of what was in the book.

When I was about seventeen someone told me I should read the Bible because it was “The Word of God”.

I took the book and started reading – the obvious place to start reading a book is at the beginning so I did.

I got halfway through Genesis and found men with close relationships with the Almighty who had more than one covenant woman {wife} – the church clearly told me that God intended a man to have only one wife so I threw the book away.

Big mistake, nearly cost me my life – I became increasingly offended by the hypocrisy and error in the church, associated the church with the Almighty and turned my back on the church AND the Almighty.

Eventually, backslidden and in deep sin and nearly forty years old I found myself on the brink of suicide when Yah spoke to me audibly, turned me from destruction and proved to me that He was real.

I quickly realized that I was in the fast lane headed for Hell and that He had given me a last chance to redeem myself – I gave Him my life, turned around and plunged into serving Him no matter what the cost.

Increasingly I found that the church was in error till today, nineteen years later, I have come to understand that the Christian Church is one of the most blasphemous and heretical institutions on earth today steeped in documented error that it refuses to deal with.

The difference was, this time round, I knew that I knew that I knew that Yah was real and I turned TO HIM when I encountered error or uncertainty.

In this process I have found an almost universal phenomenon amongst those who claim to believe.

They profess the Bible as authoritative BUT they teach and practice things that are clearly at odds with what is in the Bible.

They claim to be led by the Spirit of Yah but they do things that are clearly at odds with the Commandments of Yah and could NOT possibly be from Yah.

They argue with people who DO hear Yah because of the above and frequently get into grievous sin.

Bottom line – if you are an engineer, as I am, believe that Yah is the BEST engineer there will ever be and He does NOT expect you to abdicate your intellect in order to serve Him and believe in Him – if you encounter a human being who is teaching or practicing something that is at odds with what you understand Yah to be saying then turn TO YAH for guidance, apply your intellect and discern the truth and do it – AND – recognize that your own intellect is woefully inadequate and therefore constantly ask Yah for guidance!

Same applies no matter what your training or education, do NOT abdicate your intellect in order to serve Yah and do NOT rely on any other person to guide your relationship – take note of the teachings of others but do NOT abdicate your intellect.

Conclusion

We should NOT abdicate our intellect in order to serve Yah – apply your mind, ask for guidance and do NOT do or believe stupid things because others say so – we are each personally and individually accountable for what we believe – apply your mind!

2012.07.05 Your Heavenly Account

The previous article alludes to the Day of Judgment – are YOU aware that you have an account in Heaven?

Do you realize that your Guardian (messenger {angel}) follows you around recording EVERYTHING YOU say and do?

Do you realize that even your thoughts are recorded in Heaven?

Why?

Because there will be a DAY when YOU will be called to give an account for your life.

You will be judged according to ALL that you did that was according to Yah’s Commandments and ALL that you did that was counter to His Commandments – the sinful and the righteous behaviour, the things that Yah commanded you to do that you DID and DID NOT do, the things YOU did of your own volition that were according to Yah’s will and those that you did that were AGAINST His will, the words, the thoughts, etc, etc

Where YOU have recognized sin and repented sincerely and brought the sin under the blood of Yahooshua’s covenant that sin will have been blotted out of the book (washed away) leading to an increase in the net credit balance of your account. This statement assumes you are a believer through Yahooshua’s covenant – if you are a Moslem the laws are different, as they are for each religious grouping. Moslems are NOT subject to Yahooshua’s covenant, they are judged according to the covenant between Yah and Mohammed.

Where the sin is not recognized and not repented of by you it will constitute a DEBIT, a deduction, in the book of account of your life.

Where what you have done IS according to the Commandments it will constitute a CREDIT, an addition, in the book of account of your life.

Finally there will be a reckoning – all the debits will be totalled and all the credits will be totalled and you will be judged according to the NET TOTAL.

If overall your account is in credit you will be granted permission to enter heaven ALTHOUGH you may first be sentenced to BURN for a season to cleanse you of the defilement resulting from your unconfessed sin, you will then be permitted to enter heaven even though you may only make it to the part of heaven known as “the outer darkness”, there you will forever live with the consequences of your misspent life. If your life was a little more compliant with the laws of the Kingdom of Yah you may find yourself in the place of the “foolish virgins”, those who did not draw close to Yah and wasted their lives on earth to a lesser extent.

If your account has a NET DEBIT you will be cast into the Lake of Fire where you will be tormented for a season to pay the price for the evil in your life until you are ultimately consumed and cease to exist.

If, perhaps, you lived a somewhat better life than those in the outer darkness of heaven, repented more regularly, etc you may find yourself in a higher place in heaven than the foolish virgins – there is a continuum from the outer darkness to the high thrones.

If you have overcome you may find yourself on a throne and if you have REALLY excelled in serving Yah and keeping His Commandments He may even say to you those prize words “well done thou good and faithful servant, COME UP HIGHER” – ultimately there is still the possibility of sitting on the two thrones on the left and right of Yahooshua IF you really lay down your life to serve Yah! THAT is the greatest prize available to anyone who has ever lived.

By “overcome” is meant that you have resisted sin and overcome it, that you have resisted the forces of darkness that have been tempting you, attacking you, lying to you, that you have sought truth no matter what the cost, that you have resisted sin no matter how seductive it was, that you have repented quickly, that you have constantly judged yourself and sought judgment, that you have sought to bring Yah joy, etc.

An overcomer is one who has TRIUMPHED over the forces of darkness on earth in whatever they were called to do.

Note that we will each be judged according to the talents we were given – if we were born into a wealthy family, had access to Yah’s ways from an early age through a religious family, had access to a bible, etc you will be judged much more severely than somebody born in poverty in a shack in the forest with no education, not able to read and taught great error from birth – such a person may well find it easier to enter heaven than the highly privileged individual!

If in addition one was exposed to truths about Yah’s Spirit {the Holy Spirit}, Yahooshua {Jesus}, etc, if one experienced the move of the Spirit, healings and other miracles then you must expect a VERY SEVERE JUDGMENT.

The question you need to ask yourself today is whether you want to be consumed by the fire or sit on a throne or whether you are going to try and play games with Yah and try and chart a middle road – the problem with fence sitting is that you are likely to fall and hurt yourself, one way or the other – you might just be found to be on the WRONG side of the fence on the Day of Judgment so, for my money, I suggest you go ALL OUT to serve Yah faithfully to the end of this age!

The prayers suggested in the previous article and in other articles on this list are recommended.

Conclusion

We each have a book of account kept in heaven which forms the basis on which we will be judged – I urge you to seek to store up treasure in heaven in the form of as many credits as possible and seek to clear out the debits in every possible way.

2012.01.06 The contents of the bible are but a pin prick in the history of mankind

Reflecting on some of the historical accounts in the bible it occurred to me that the accounts in the bible really are but a pinprick in the history of mankind

The accounts of Yahooshua {Jesus} depict a very small part of his life, there is a huge amount more that he did and said, the same applies to Shaul {Paul}, Moshe {Moses}, Noah, Adam, etc

It is vital that we get this perspective -- Yah has interacted with human beings much, much, much more than is discussed in the bible

It really is not wise to regard the bible as complete and definitive, it simply records some extremely important moments in time in a very summarized manner but it cannot hope to be complete or definitive

2012.01.03 Clarification re THE WORD

Further to my recent article on "The WORD is semantic nonsense" I received a request for clarification, so, here goes

1. The phrase "THE WORD" is incorrect English in the sense that it is used and to which I am referring

2. Many people refer to Jesus as "THE WORD" based on the passage which says that "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us" -- inherently this interpretation is the consequence of a translation error filtered through pagan thinking -- the meaning of the passage is that the commandments of Yah gave rise to a created being, Yahooshua, who dwelt among the people of his day

3. Many people refer to the bible as "THE WORD" and again ascribe some mystical meaning to the phrase, the bible is simply a collection of writings by human beings

4. Any other language which refers to "THE WORD" is incorrect English and should be avoided, rather use accurate language than some form of meaningless phrase

2011.12.07 New Testament? No No No

I continue to encounter people who are completely misled by the whole concept of "New Testament"

There really is NO SUCH THING as "New Testament" -- there is one continuum of Yah's interaction with humans from Adam to the present day

Yahooshua was JUST one more prophet in a long line of mighty prophets including Adam, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Israel, Moshe, David, etc, etc and continuing on to Mohammed through to prophets today such as Joyner

In all this time mankind has been DETERIORATING SPIRITUALLY and DRIFTING FURTHER AND FURTHER FROM YAH and DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO ERROR

Yahooshua DID usher in some important developments but much of what is attributed to him and to the "New Testament" is Satanically inspired mumbo jumbo

Please be very careful about what you believe, particularly where you have been taught it in the context of God, the LORD, Jesus, Sunday Sabbath, cross, bible, new testament, etc

Just because Yah has spoken to you or through you or to another person or through that person does NOT mean they have all truth, we MUST discern, ask for guidance, question, pray for judgment in our lives, etc

If someone is not consistently praying "judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more faithfully and show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it" you need to be very cautious of believing what they say or write

2011.10.05 What to read if not the bible?

In view of all that I have written recently about the bible NOT being the living Word of God and containing error and Yah referring to it as a "tiny book" and "the most pervasive idol" you may be asking what you should read.

Well, if you have not yet read the bible from cover to cover you might still want to do that, it DOES contain some useful history, prophecies and guidance – but read it as a book not THE book J

Then ask Father what other books He wants you to read, CD's to listen to, DVD's to watch, etc.

Some books that I have read and DVD's that I have viewed that contain useful information that you might find useful to read:

1. Dead Men's Secrets by Jonathan Gray

There are innumerable other books, videos, CD's, etc but the above have significantly impacted my worldview and my walk with Yah and I strongly recommend them.

Conclusion

The above books and DVD's provide a few reading and viewing suggestions over and above the bible. There are innumerable other books that Yah has inspired at a material level and which contain important truths.

I encourage you to start energetically seeking Yah as to what else He wants you to read, listen to or view.

2011.10.04 Yah is at SOME measure in EVERY book (and so is Satan through his demons)

In recent articles I have gone into some detail as to why the bible is NOT what it is widely believed to be.

In particular, I have reported Yah's statement to me "Son of man, do you see how this people limits me to one little book".

While we were worshiping earlier today and looking at the bookshelf in the room where we were worshipping Yah said to me, "I am in every one of those books at some level, in fact, I am in every book you own at some level, in fact I am in EVERY book on earth at some level, even books on the practice of witchcraft and Satanism, and so is Satan through his demons".

This relates back to my article on "seek truth, NOT error" in which the point is made that we all have some level of truth and some level of error.

Yah is interested in every subject, has opinions on every subject and guides human beings at some level on every subject, and so does Satan through his demons.

So, there are books with a high level of guidance by Yah and others with a low level of guidance by Yah, likewise there are books with a high level of guidance by Satan's demons and others with a low level of guidance. And, in all cases there is a chunk of human creativity, whether guided by a spiritual entity, whether Yah or demons or simply human ingenuity and invention.

Even in books and articles on Witchcraft and Satanism there is truth, the spiritual laws which operate in Witchcraft and Satanism are laws which in their pure form were ordained by Yah but have been corrupted and misappropriated by the forces of darkness.

So, you can potentially learn truth from any document BUT, in practice, there are many documents Yah does NOT want YOU to read and those are NOT necessarily the same documents He does not want ME to read, and vice versa.

And there are books He may want you to read in part or in whole once and then trash and there are books He may want you to read repeatedly.

AND

There ARE highly anointed books that are NOT the bible and, where applicable, we should be seeking those books and reading them.

AND

There are books with a lot of truth that are NOT particularly anointed – the writer may have been guided by Yah to find the truth and to write it down but is not necessarily anointed.

So, what to do?

Ask Yah to guide you as to what you buy, download off the Internet, etc and what you read.

Sometimes you may only need to read one sentence or phrase out of an entire book in order to answer a specific question you have asked Yah or for Yah to show you something in some other context.

On one occasion Yah sent me to a bookshop in London to buy a book which opened at a particular paragraph in order to teach me something. There have been a significant number of other instances where Yah has used this sort of approach in my life.

So, I recommend that you seek a closer relationship with Yah, that you ask Him to guide you and lead you to the books and documents, etc that He wants you to read or to buy or watch or whatever – sometimes He may lead you to buy a book today because it is there and convenient but He may only lead you to read the book or read a passage in the book years later.

The same applies to movies, DVD's, CD's, video's, etc, etc

The most important point of this article is that there is a mass of information out there and you should turn to Yah to lead you as to how to select what to read and watch and when – at the end of the day it is ALL about a deep personal relationship with Yah.

Conclusion

There are a huge number of books and other materials out there, Yah and Satan and his demons have both contributed to every single one of them.

Turn to Yah to show you what to buy and what to read and when – develop your relationship with Him.

2011.10.03 Clarification -- there IS good in the bible

The person who reacted to my articles on the bible seemed to think that by saying the bible is not what is claimed for it I was dismissing the value that DOES exist in the book, so let me clarify:

1. The bible IS an extremely important book

2. The bible DOES contain many important truths

3. The bible DOES contain considerable wisdom and insight and guidelines for life

4. The bible DOES contain important history relating to the people of Israel, the sons of Adam, Yahooshua, the early faith after Yahooshua, etc

5. The bible DOES contain inspired words from Yah and prophecies that have come to pass and which are expected to yet come to pass

6. The bible IS probably the most influential book on the planet

BUT, this does NOT make the bible what many claim it to be!!

AND that is no reason to put it on a pedestal and idolize it

I hope that this helps to remove any uncertainty regarding my views on this subject

2011.10.01 Yah says: "The bible is the most pervasive IDOL on the planet today"

As I was worshiping this morning (the Day of Atonement), I was thinking of a report I had read during the week which indicated that there were between 3 and 6 billion bibles on the earth and Father Yah said to me "The bible is the most pervasive idol on the planet today".

I have been hugely challenged by what Yah has been saying to me about the bible in recent months.

1. Adopting the bible as "The Word of God"

It is 18 years since I dedicated myself to serving Yah no matter what the cost and, in response to a number of experiences with teaching from the bible, I took my bible, held it up to Yah and prayed "Father, these people say this is your word, I do not understand it, but I choose to believe this and I ask you to answer all my questions".

In the next eight years I read the book repeatedly in numerous translations, the "old testament" about 20 times and the "new testament" about 35 times.

I asked numerous questions about what I read in the book and obtained numerous answers. I have over a dozen note books filled with questions and answers. I learned a lot, grew a lot and wrote a lot in which I referred to the bible as "The Word", cited it as "Scripture" and generally venerated the book to a substantial degree.

I advised others to read their bibles regularly from cover to cover and gave them reading plans comprising concurrent reading of "Old" and "New" "Testaments, Psalms and Proverbs and told them to read the genealogies as these were "also anointed".

I was totally convinced that the bible was everything that everyone I knew and esteemed claimed it to be.

2. A shocking word from Yah

After eight years walking the above road and following a series of intense fasts and seeking to get closer to Yah he told me to get a Quran.

I obtained a copy of a beautifully presented Quran and Father told me to "read it as quickly as you can and do not ask any questions until you have finished".

I did so and found that while there were finer points I understood differently there were only two real issues that troubled me, the first was that Muhammed was reported to have stated that Yahooshua (Jesus, Isa) was a prophet and a man and that it was gross sin to worship him or make him equal with Allah (Yah) and the second was that it was gross sin to place the bible on a pedestal and that the book was only a collection of writings by men assembled by men and was NOT the "word of God".

I reached the end of the Quran and asked Father if these statements were true, He affirmed that they were and subsequently sent Yahooshua to me personally to confirm that he was a man and a prophet and NOT Yah and that it was sin to worship him.

I wrote about what Father had said to me about the bible but I struggled with that more than the revelation that Yahooshua was not Yah – somehow I had never really worshipped Yahooshua although some of my writings before that time show undue reverence and conventional thinking with regard to Yahooshua {~~Jesus~~}.

3. Wrestling to come to terms with this revelation

This happened nearly ten years ago.

I more or less stopped reading the bible but I still struggled with this revelation.

In my late teens I had rejected the bible because of major discrepancies between what the church was teaching and what I read and so, in 1993 when I took the book and held it up to Yah it was a MAJOR conscious choice on my part to reverse a belief I had held for several decades that the book was not relevant.

Father effectively left me alone on this particular topic for most of the next ten years and dealt with me on other major issues that were hugely challenging and took me through some times of intense testing in other areas.

I wrote about the topic from time to time but, on reflection, most of the time my thinking and my paradigm was still shaped by my decision in 1993 – the bible was the word of Yah {~~God~~} and all inspired and without error – the final and definitive authority!

Then, late last year, as I was coming to the end of the series of seven three day fasts at intervals of one week that I went on leading up to Christmas and as I was seeking to draw closer to Yah and seeking cleansing and healing and greater revelation, I was walking through a large mall near where I was living and, as I walked past the largest bookstore in the mall, Father said to me "son of man – do you see how this people limit me to this one small book!"

I looked into the massive store and suddenly understood that the bible was the ONLY title for sale in that store that was claimed to represent Yah of all the thousands of books in the store.

On that same day I had walked into a Gospel music store and purchased a copy of the King James Bible on CD, a set of CD's of considerable bulk. As I had taken the set to the counter to pay, Father said to me "you do not need those", to which I had replied, "but I would like them" – Father left me until I walked past the bookshop!

4. The book is hardly anointed at all

A few days later, as I was driving to the mountains on a two week retreat Father told me to listen to the CD's of the bible and nothing else until I finished listening to the entire bible.

I did this but his meant that I did not listen to the praise and worship CD's that it was my habit to listen to while driving.

In about two months of driving I had listened to the entire bible. I then came to an alarming realization, the level of anointing in my life had degraded substantially. At this point I suddenly understood that the book was hardly anointed at all and that the flow of anointing was through the praise and worship I habitually listened to and NOT the book!

5. The implications

Since then I have written quite widely on the subject and started to really come to grips with the harsh reality that the book is a compilation of writings by men, compiled by men, hardly inspired at all (Yah says "less than 2% of the book is inspired") and the source of considerable erroneous thinking and idolatry.

The book was vetted and validated by the same people who moved the Sabbath from the 7^th day of the week (Saturday on today's calendar) to the 1^st day (Sunday, the day of the Sun, a pagan holy day), did away with the name Yahooshua and enforced Ieosus {Jesus}, entrenched the use of "God" and "The LORD" instead of Yah, the Almighty, etc and who took measures towards legislating monogamy in place of Yah's form of covenant between man and woman in which the taking of virginity is THE covenant act and which therefore shows definitively that Yah intended more than one woman to covenant with one man.

Yah's statement this morning was the next step in this challenging journey of revising my beliefs about the bible "The bible is the most pervasive idol on the planet today"

I can see it clearly now, but I understand how this is NOT clear to those who have esteemed the bible for years and who have received great revelation through the bible.

6. The bible does NOT teach people to read

Last week, in response to one of my articles about the bible, written on the Day of Trumpets, someone wrote to me about the number of people who had learned to read through their access to the bible.

Bottom line, that does NOT prove the bible is what is claimed for it, it proves that many people have BELIEVED that the bible is what is claimed for it and, as a consequence, learned to read but it is the Mighty One of the bible, NOT the book who has inspired them and taught them.

To this comment you might think that I am saying that in fact the Almighty DOES work through the bible and, in a sense, I AM saying that – remember that Yah has said that we LIMIT Him to that "tiny book" so, in many cases, the bible has been the only mechanism that Yah has had to reach people so, He has done that.

BUT, can you imagine what things would look like if we had thousands of books ascribed to Yah's messengers or spokesmen {~~prophets~~}? Well, actually we do BUT the writers devalue their writings because of their idolatry of the Bible – a well-known and highly anointed prophet devalues his writings by repeatedly stating that they are NOT part of "the canon of Scripture" and that they are "NOT Scripture" with the result that by his own admission he has been less than diligent about recording what Yah has shown to him and said to him, sometimes taking months to write down what he saw in visions and other prophetic experiences and advising readers that because of his lack of diligence they should feel free to question his writings.

This is tragic as it massively devalues Yah's words through this man and it devalues a vital message.

In addition, this man does not see fit to offer the full text of the books he has written about these visions for free but instead distributes them for money through commercial publishers. I do not have a problem with the use of commercial publishers – they have considerable reach – BUT there are many who cannot afford these books who need to read the message.

The words of Yah should be available free of charge as far as possible.

7. The bible does NOT teach people to profit or teach scientific facts

I was also told that the bible has assisted many in business through making them aware of technical and scientific facts.

To a point that may be BUT it is the Spirit of Yah in us that is really the teacher and the problem is, once more, that by limiting Yah to the bible we prevent Him from teaching us in many other ways – He has taught me much in business that is NOT in the bible.

Furthermore, to the extent that there are passages in the bible that contain technical and commercial ideas this is simply a reflection of the advanced economies and societies that existed in bible times – we have been taught that mankind has evolved UPWARD in the past millennia when, in fact, Adam was created in the likeness and the image of Yah and was super intelligent and of great stature – mankind has been deteriorating progressively for thousands of years.

So, again, the bible is NOT all that people think it to be.

8. Why has Satan permitted the bible to become so pervasive?

Satan is the mighty one {god} of this world – he is in control, nothing of major significance happens on this earth either unless Satan permits it or if a mighty spirit filled servant of Yah with the necessary legal standing prays it into existence on the planet.

The bible has been distributed so widely because it is NOT a threat to Satan.

YES, Satan does oppose the bible, it gives the bible greater credibility and IF Satan could entirely destroy the bible as well he would be happy but he realizes that is unlikely to happen without Yah raising up some alternative so Satan happily permits the bible to be the most widely published book on earth with all the confusion that surrounds the hundreds of different translations and the embedded errors relating to the person of Yahooshua, the names, etc that pervades just about all the versions of the book in widespread distribution.

9. If the bible is what is claimed why is the earth not very different

If the bible really is what is claimed for it then with 3 to 6 billion on the earth the earth should look VERY DIFFERENT to what it does but the reality is that only a minute number of people who have bibles read them and only a very small percentage of those take the book seriously.

So, clearly, the bible is NOT the inerrant Word of Yah and full of power.

Conclusion

The bible really is NOT what is claimed for it.

This is a very uncomfortable reality, please pray about this and make the necessary course corrections and, IF you are guilty of worshipping the book, now is the time to stop!

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

2011.09.08 The King James Version of the bible is NOT THE definitive English translation

In the previous two articles I have stated that the King James Version of the bible is NOT the definitive English translation.

It is just one of well over 100 English translations all of which disagree at some level – otherwise they would not be created.

This diversity of versions reflects a number of facts:

The original language differs materially from modern English.

There are significant errors in the early translations, including the King James version.

There are fundamental doctrinal errors in the different translations including in many the belief in a Trinity, the worship of Yahooshua, etc.

Mankind has allowed themselves to be constrained to "this tiny book" as Yah referred to it when speaking to me about it late last year and therefore believers are milking the book for all it is worth and going far beyond its value to humanity.

Ultimately the bible is just one of innumerable resources and writings that Yah has provided for mankind, we should use it but be realistic about its limitations and seek other sources and, above all, seek a close and intimate relationship with Yah and seek to hear His voice clearly and be taught by Him.

Conclusion

The bible is just one of many resources.

Seek to draw close to Yah and to be taught by Him.

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

2011.09.07 Yah works through His anointed prophets NOT committees

In the previous article I outlined some of the history of the bible and made the assertion that its origins reinforced what Yah has said about the bible NOT being what is claimed for it

In the third party article relating to the alleged divine authority for the name Jesus based on the alleged divine authority of the King James English translation I referenced the Council of Nicea as the point at which the Roman church adopted the compilation of writings which forms the basis of the bible.

A key element of the deductive basis for rejecting any and all outputs of the Council of Nicea AND the translation of the King James version is that both were the result of the work of committee's or councils – groups of people deliberating to reach consensus.

The fact that the bible is the output of a council and that the King James translation is the output of a committee immediately disqualifies both of them from being inspired by Yah.

The simple reality is that Yah operates through prophets (spokesmen and women) and NOT through committees.

Yah relies on a human being who has set themselves apart with fasting and prayer to come to a place of hearing from Yah and then giving a word or words, whether a single sentence or an entire book.

If the bible were indeed compiled at the leading of the Spirit of Yah I have it clearly that a single anointed man or woman of Yah would have isolated themselves from the world and spent time with Yah in order to hear clearly which writings were to be included in the compilation, this did NOT happen and therefore without alternative insight it is reasonable to conclude that the bible as endorsed by the council of Nicea did NOT originate with Yah.

In the same way, if a translation were to be anointed I would expect that a single prophet would isolate themselves alone with Yah in order to make the translation. The King James was translated by committee and therefore it can reasonably be concluded that it is NOT a definitive inspired translation as some claim.

Note that, by definition, a committee seeks consensus and therefore it is a lowest common denominator method of working – only that which all committee members or at least the majority of committee members agree on is adopted. Thus even if there is one or more highly anointed one in the group they will have to compromise with whatever the least anointed person in the group will agree with and therefore there can be expected to be significant interference by demons and ignorance. This is a major reason why virtually all English translations are corrupt at a fundamental level associated with the false doctrines that prevailed in the era around 300 AD.

In contrast, I have it that the Amplified Bible was prepared by a single person and there is reason to believe that they were relatively anointed when they prepared that translation and it is therefore a relatively anointed translation BUT it still suffers from the reality that it builds on a book which was compiled by committee.

Conclusion

Yah does NOT work through committees to create major inspired works, He speaks through individual prophets.

Be cautious about what resources you rely on – Yah wants a personal relationship with you and wants YOU to turn to Him and not the work of some committee.

2011.09.06 The origin of the Christian bible

Earlier this week I was sent an article which argues that the name "Jesus" has divine approval as the English name for Yahooshua and that it is error to suggest that English speakers should be told that Yah requires us to use the name Yahooshua and that Jesus is totally acceptable to Yah.

Various arguments in support of the divine approval of the name Jesus are advanced chief of which is that the name Jesus is used in the King James Version of the bible which the writer regards as an inspired translation and the definitive translation into English.

On the basis that the writer holds that the King James is THE divinely authorized and inspired translation and that the name Jesus is used in that translation the writer concludes that the name Jesus has divine approval.

In response to this I would like to offer the following thoughts:

Yah clearly told me over ten years ago that "Jesus" was the name of Yahooshua's "worst enemy" and that I should stop using it.

Yah has also told me that with isolated exceptions of those who have close relationships with Yah all those who use the name Jesus today are receiving answers from demonic strongholds and NOT from Yah.

The Christian bible is a compilation by men over a period of time culminating at the Synod of Nicea in about 325 AD where hundreds of Bishops and Priests of the Roman church gathered together to formalize the Christian faith under the sponsorship of the Emperor Constantine who had accepted Christianity and was championing it.

While reports indicate that there were compilations before this time it is the Roman Church which has formally declared there to be a "canon of scripture" and declared the bible to be the "Word of God" and without error.

Given that this happened a few years after the Sabbath was formally changed from Saturday (the 7^th day as appointed by Yah) to Sunday in 321 AD and other deviations from Yah's commandments by the Roman church it is reasonable to conclude that the so-called cannon of scripture is likewise contrary to Yah's commands and has pagan roots.

Yah has confirmed the above and this again reinforces the principle that the bible is NOT the living word of Yah and all inspired as so many believe and is just a collection of writings, some of which are partly inspired as discussed in previous articles on this list.

Conclusion

The bible is simply a collection of writings by men and has no greater significance other than that this is the oldest collection of writings that Satan has allowed to be preserved and must therefore be treated circumspectly and with caution as a resource.

We must ALL turn to Yah as our teacher as Yahooshua commanded us.

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

2011.08.08 Those who followed Yahooshua did NOT know Torah

Another discussion relating to the article about the so-called "New Testament" relates to the widely held but mistaken belief that Yahooshua {~~Jesus~~} changed all sorts of things that He did not have the authority to change and would not have changed anyway.

For example, in passages where Yahooshua corrects and reproves the Scribes, Pharisees and Priests he is NOT introducing new teaching {doctrine} he is re-establishing and explaining the laws [Torah] given through Moshe {~~Moses~~}.

Yahooshua clearly states that he came to fulfil the commandments and laws given through Moshe and other spokesmen {~~prophets~~} NOT change them.

But the widely held view of a "New Testament" or "New Covenant" which radically changed the laws of Yah persists amongst people who have been raised in pagan Christianity.

This happens because virtually no Christian knows the so-called "Old Testament" – the books before Matthew well and many have not even read them because they have been lied to and told that Yahooshua changed everything and that we "live under the New Covenant and so the Old Testament is not really relevant" and other lies such as this.

I realized a few days ago that those who followed Yahooshua were largely in the same situation. Those who physically went around with Yahooshua were largely uneducated in terms of Pharisaic / Rabbinical law and most likely did not have access to nor had they read in detail the writings that today form the so-called Old Testament or, for that matter, any other writings of that time. They were fishermen, tax collectors, etc.

There were some members of the priesthood, etc who followed Yahooshua but they were in the minority and, anyway, at the time everyone close to Yahooshua was concentrating on what he was saying filtered through their perceptions of the teachings, traditions, etc of that age.

Those who came after Yahooshua, of which Luke and Shaul {~~Paul~~} are the most notable in terms of the writings in the bible filtered their understanding through their historical context. So, for example, Luke is unlikely to have been knowledgeable of Torah (the laws and commandments of Yah) and his writings reflect this.

Shaul, on the other hand, was raised as a Pharisee, a strict Rabbinical sect and was deeply steeped in the traditions of his day as well as the Rabbinic teachings and also presumably in the writings ascribed to Moshe which claim to report the events in the wilderness after the Exodus from Egypt but which, as we saw last week, were even then based on fragments preserved through the Babylonian exile.

Thus, the main reason that Shaul has set out diverse aspects of teaching relating to the covenant through Yahooshua is simply because he was one of the few followers to have the context and background to hear Yah on these matters and to write them down.

However, for the most part, all who have come after Yahooshua, right up to the current day, lack in-depth knowledge of the writings prior to Matthew in the bible and lack in-depth understanding of the covenant through Moshe and related matters many of which have been discussed on this list over the last eleven plus years (incidentally, my older writings are all available at www.ETIMin.org).

So, when interpreting the writings about Yahooshua and the period that followed, including modern writings and teachings right up to the present day it is VITAL to recognize that almost without exception that the writers and teachers lack an in-depth understanding let alone revelation of the covenant through Moshe and the teachings, etc of the faith going back thousands of years.

Also apply your intellect. For example one of the most absurd teachings of this age is that Yahooshua instituted monogamy as a legal requirement. So, we have the prospect of Yahooshua hanging on the tree in a society that widely practiced covenant between one man and more than one woman and as he dies an agonizing death he introduces a law which makes all the covenant unions of one man with several women illegal and introduces enforced monogamy – it is outright foolishness to believe things like this and a grievous insult to Yahooshua. It also flees in the face of well-established historical information which shows that monogamy was first legislated in Christianity by Justinian in Rome in 600+ AD. There are other false beliefs like this.

Accordingly the message must AGAIN be "turn to Yah as your teacher".

Conclusion

It is pointed out that very few of those who have followed the teachings and covenant given through Yahooshua in any age have a solid understanding of the teachings of Moshe, the prophets before Yahooshua or the commandments given by Yah.

As a consequence it is falsely imagined and claimed that Yahooshua did all sorts of things that he could NOT possibly have done.

Readers are advised to apply their intellect and think critically about what is taught and what they choose to believe.

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

2011.08.07 What IS inspiration?

In response to my recent article on "Covenant NOT New Testament" I was challenged about my statement that less than 2% of the bible is inspired.

The person who challenged me was coming from the perspective of teachings which claim that the entire bible "is the living word of God and breathed by God".

As I debated the subject with this person I came to a better understanding of what I was saying in that article which is basically that most of what is recorded in the bible is words written by men with limited or no specific anointing or inspiration.

In terms of what Yah said to me regarding less than 2% of the book being inspired this relates to words given directly by the Spirit of Yah.

By way of illustration, in Malawi in 1994 Yah spoke through me directly for about an hour as I prophesied over three other men and myself – during this time the only control I had over what was coming out of my mouth was that I could have chosen to shut my mouth. I had no foreknowledge of what came out of my mouth, Yah was speaking through the vocal chords of James Robertson in the first person.

Yet we all knew that it was Yah speaking.

Thereafter I taught for about a further two hours and during those two hours I said things that again I had no foreknowledge of, we all knew it was Yah speaking through me although I was then speaking as James and the level of inspiration even then was lower than during the first hour.

Yah has NEVER again spoken through me with that level of anointing and inspiration.

I have written in excess of six thousand pages of documents relating to the things of the Almighty and I would like to believe that in most of these there has been some level of anointing or inspiration, yet I have to say that to my knowledge NONE of those documents were fully inspired.

I have also had Yah give me revelation in business and I would like to believe that there has been a fair level of anointing and inspiration in much of what I have written and done there as well. Yet, to the best of my knowledge NONE of those documents were fully inspired either.

The rest of the time there has been some level of James Robertson in the message – Yah has been speaking to my spirit, my spirit has received the message and integrated it with my thoughts to produce spoken or written words which contain some level of anointing and inspiration. However, in terms of the definition that I am seeking to develop in this article these words are NOT "inspired" in the full sense of the word!

It does not take inspiration to recount history although some level of anointing IS useful in ensuring that the most relevant information IS recorded – this applies to at least half of the bible if not more – so these historical accounts cannot be regarded as inspired.

Much of the rest of the bible comprises writings of one kind or another, including accounts of words spoken by various people that may be inspired at some level but are NOT fully inspired.

There are some limited passages which recount words spoken directly by Yah and words spoken by Yah through various spokesmen {~~prophets~~} including Yahooshua, Moshe, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, etc – this is the 2% I am referring to. Much of Proverbs reports inspired words and some of the Psalms are inspired. That is the limit.

And, once one lets go of the idolatry associated with believing that "the bible is the living word of God" then it no longer matters. The bible IS a USEFUL collection of historical writings about interactions between the sons of Adam and Yah the eternally self-existing, in fact, arguably the most important collection that exists in widespread use – why does it have to be more?

Remember, Yah has spoken BILLIONS of words to the sons of Adam a minute fraction of which are recorded in the bible.

Yah has inspired billions of pages of writings at some level through the sons of Adam of which a minute fraction are contained in the bible.

Why limit Yah?

If YOU want inspired words then the best thing to do is to draw closer to Yah until He can speak directly and clearly to you and through you – STOP LOOKING TO OTHER SONS OF ADAM FOR THIS!

Remember also that Yah has called spirit filled believers to REIGN with His Spirit for a thousand years – Yah is looking to you and me to be filled with His Spirit but ALSO to exercise our discretion and intellect to execute Yah's will on earth.

Yah did NOT create us to be glove puppets, Yah created us to have an intelligent, deep, personal relationship with Him.

Conclusion

The quest for inspired words should take you directly to Yah.

Less than 2% of the words in the bible are directly breathed or dictated by Yah, the rest have some level of input from the writers.

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

2011.08.05 The seventy facets of Yah's jeweled words

Following a discussion relating to the articles preceding this article the issue of two people having different "revelation" on the same passage in the bible came up.

This reminded me of a Jewish tradition that relates to the "seventy facets of the Torah's jeweled words" a teaching to the effect that inspired words from Yah can have up to seventy different interpretations depending on the context.

It seems to me that there is some truth in this which you might like to pray about.

The essential principle is that words from Yah have a richness of meaning such that they can be interpreted in different ways in different contexts by different people at different times because His words ARE Spirit and life.

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

2011.08.03 The bible IS a useful reference work – period

There has been various comment in response to the previous article insofar as it is perceived that I am detracting from the value of the bible as viewed by people who have come from a Christian background.

Accordingly I would like to clarify:

There is a considerable amount of history in the bible relating to Yah's relationships with various people, this is useful and we can learn from these passages. We can also ask Yah questions about these historical accounts and this opens the door for Yah to speak to us. About half the bible falls into this category. It is NOT necessary for these passages to be inspired or the word of Yah or whatever, they are simply accounts written by human beings who thought what happened was important. Whether the writers were inspired or not is not relevant. It is the facts that are valuable.

Yah says that approximately 2% of the entire bible IS inspired as in words spoken directly by Yah through the human being doing the writing – this IS a significant amount of text but it does NOT justify the bible being regarded as the word of God. We need to seek these passages.

Keep in mind that the words spoken by Balaam's donkey are arguably amongst the most inspired words in the bible (it is stated that the donkey was not in the habit of speaking so this had to be the Spirit of Yah speaking through the donkey) but they are NOT relevant to others so inspiration is not relevant without revelation and revelation is given by Yah and NOT the book.

Yah uses the bible to speak to people because so many people believe what they do about the bible and they filter what they hear from Yah through that belief. Even highly anointed one's do that – remember that there is NO ONE on earth today who is anointed more than half of the level of anointing that Yahooshua walked under. So Yah is constrained and the bible IS therefore a useful resource – because men have limited Him to "this tiny book" – Yah's words.

Yah says there are BILLIONS of pages of writings past and present that He has inspired through the ages and in the current age. He says that if we are to give the bible special treatment then we should give comparable special treatment to ALL inspired writings and since it is impossible for this to be done in practice it is entirely unacceptable to Him that men give special treatment to the bible – Yah stresses that people have made the bible an IDOL and Yah is highly DISPLEASED with this.

Yah stresses that without His Spirit the bible is powerless! Given that there are billions of bibles on the planet today and that only approximately a hundred thousand people on earth today have even vaguely meaningful relationships with Yah (as rated by Yah) it is clear that the bible is powerless! The bible on its own can do NOTHING, it is ONLY the Spirit of Yah in a person who can make the words in the bible come alive and if a person does NOT FIRST have the Spirit of Yah leading them by faith and by choice then the bible is no more valuable than any other collection of human writings.

All English translations that I have encountered are full of translation errors for the reasons previously discussed so, once again, the bible is NOT the word of Yah and without error.

So, what am I saying?

The bible is without value without first entering into a relationship with Yah.

IF you have a deep personal relationship with Yah then the bible is a useful resource to help you grow – WITHIN LIMITATIONS.

Use the bible prayerfully and carefully and turn to Yah NOT the bible as your source of teaching.

Conclusion

If you want to defend the bible then do so as a reasonably reliable history book with occasional inspired passages.

If you go beyond this in defending the bible you are guilty of making an idol out of the book – Yah says that virtually the entire Christian Church are so guilty.

Concentrate on building your relationship with Yah FIRST and then use the book and other human writings as useful sources of reference material – NO more than this.

2011.08.02 Covenant – NOT New Testament

I have encountered numerous references recently to the "New Covenant" – the label applied to the writings from MattihYahoo {~~Matthew~~} onwards in most bibles and by most Christians.

In recent days I have been challenged regarding what I believe with regard to this term and today I was impressed by Daddy Yah to research and document the subject.

This is done in the sections that follow:

1. Covenant NOT "New Testament"

There is a problem when you look up the word "Testament" in "Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words" we find:

In other words, the word Testament does NOT occur in the so-called New Testament, the Greek word ACTUALLY means Covenant.

If we look at the King James version and search on the word "Testament" the first instance is from MattihYahoo {Matthew} 26:28 which reads:

"For this is my blood of the new testament" – whereas other translations say "new covenant".

Turning to the Interlinear bible we find:

The word translated "testament" is diatheékees, Strong's number 1242.

Notice that the word "new" has Strong's number 9999 which means it was added by the translators and is NOT in the original Greek!

Searching for all occurrences of Strong's number 1242 (diatheékees) in the so-called "New Testament" we find:

That is, diatheékees variously translated "testament" and "covenant" indicating that the use of the word "testament" was introduced by the translators to serve some purpose, possibly doctrinal, to mask the use of the word "covenant".

Interestingly in Mark 14:24 we find the same use of new <9999> testament:

Interestingly we find in Luke 22:20 that the word "new" IS in the text:

We find the same in 1 Corinthians 11:25:

Note that MattihYahoo and Mark are reputed to have been eye witnesses throughout Yahooshua's {~~Jesus'~~} ministry but that only MattihYahoo was present at the supper in the upper room where Yahooshua introduced the covenant that he was making.

Remember that Luke and Shaul {~~Paul~~} were NOT present during Yahooshua's ministry.

Given that MattihYahoo was an accountant it has been said by Yah that his account can be regarded as the most precise and most reliable. Yah has also indicated that Luke sometimes resorted to folklore and so it becomes apparent that the use of the word "new"<9999> should be considered carefully.

Yah states that in fact Yahooshua simply entered into a covenant which was a progression of many covenants and did NOT enter into a "new" covenant in the sense of something that superseded or replaced a preceding covenant – remember that Yah entered into covenant's, in many cases more than one, with Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Israel, Moshe {~~Moses~~}, David and others so the covenant with Yahooshua was simply the next in the series of his specific blood line.

Yah has continued to enter into covenant's with men and women of faith throughout all the intervening years and continues to enter into covenant's with devout believers right through to this day and He says He will continue to do this right to the end of the age.

Thus we find that two pivotal concepts of Christianity "new" and "testament" are without foundation in the Greek texts AND that it appears that the word "new" was introduced by believers in the years FOLLOWING the death and resurrection of Yahooshua, in other words, we find a key doctrinal nuance introduced in the retelling of the story of Yahooshua even as it is recorded in the books of the bible.

This speaks again to the reality that the writings in the bible are records made by men who were not perfect and who were not fully inspired and therefore the writings cannot be regarded as the infallible word of the Almighty as many believe.

How did this happen?

In the sections that follow I will provide a thumbnail of the history of believers that led up to the creation of the English texts of the bible that are so widely regarded as infallible and show that while in one sense it IS a miracle that they exist at all at another level it is reasonable to expect them to be at some material level corrupt and containing error.

In considering what follows be aware that research will provide various frequently conflicting accounts of many of these events and the timing of these events such that what I offer is my best summarisation of what I believe Father Yah has shown me over a period of more than ten years.

2. Persecution by the Jews

One of the reasons the current bible is based on numerous fragments of text is that the Jews increasingly zealously and aggressively persecuted the believers through the covenant of Yahooshua and destroyed all Hebrew manuscripts that they could lay hands on.

The believers therefore came to rely on Greek texts most of which were translations from the Hebrew and which in many cases contained doctrinal nuances and biases that were not present in the original Hebrew texts. There were also translational problems associated with translating Hebrew idiom as used by Yahooshua with the result that the Greek translations are NOT a particularly accurate rendition of the Hebrew.

Similar but potentially more severe problems were experienced with the early English texts as discussed later in this article.

3. Persecution and then assimilation by the Romans

In the same way, but for diametrically opposed reasons, the Romans ALSO persecuted the early believers and in particular hated the Hebrew roots of the faith and destroyed Hebrew texts.

This too favoured the move to Greek as the language of the early believers.

But then over time the by now significantly corrupt Christian religion started to find favour with the Romans and Roman customs were progressively assimilated into the body of common belief and practice and was, in turn, associated with further departure from the true Hebrew roots of faith through the Covenant of Yahooshua.

This was so pronounced that within 300 years the Christian faith was more pagan than monotheistic faith in Yah through the Covenant of Yahooshua and by 600 AD pagan feasts like Christmas and Easter, the first day of the week Sabbath of the sun god, legislated monogamy and many other fundamental errors including worship of Yahooshua and worship of the bible were embedded in the Christian faith.

During this period, probably around 300 AD, the bible was also compiled by a collective effort of the Roman faith and progressively had supernatural origination imputed to it notwithstanding that it was compiled by a committee of humans who did NOT claim that its compilation was inspired. In fact, believing that the bible is the Word of God is roughly equivalent to belief in the Pope as Yah's authorized spokesperson on earth – both have the same roots.

4. Jesus WAS a Hebrew

In considering all the above remember that Yahooshua {~~Jesus~~} was a Hebrew and that he is reported to have stated that he did NOT come to destroy the Torah {~~Law~~} or the Prophets but to FULFILL them (MattihYahoo 5:17). Fact is he could NOT have destroyed them and still been legitimate in the sight of Yah.

He is also reported to have said that not one "jot or tittle" (the smallest elements of Hebrew script) of the Torah {~~Law~~} would pass away till ALL was fulfilled.

It is VITAL to understand with regard to any of the so-called "New Testament" or "New Covenant" that Yahooshua could ONLY introduce NEW ordinances within the constraints of what had gone before and that ONLY to fulfil what had gone before.

Thus much of what is ascribed to Yahooshua cannot possibly have been the case – he could NOT have introduced worship of a Trinity instead of monotheistic worship of Yah, he could NOT have changed the Sabbath from the 7^th day (Saturday) to the 1^st day (Sunday), he could not have introduced forced monogamy, etc, etc.

5. The Greek – distancing and corruption

So we see, associated with the move to Greek manuscripts and Greek influence a distancing from the Hebrew roots and corruption of the Hebrew based doctrines (teachings).

This is compounded by the reality that the texts on which the current English "New Testament" manuscripts are based are derived from multiple fragments of ancient Greek manuscripts most of which were incomplete and which differ between themselves to the tune of well over one thousand (1,000) documented variances such that different English translations are based in some cases on different source manuscripts.

Wikipedia gives illustrations of some of the fragments that have been found:

And continues to offer approximate dates:

Notice the even the earliest fragments are dated about 100 years after the death of Yahooshua!

It is important to be aware that reports also indicate that only fragments of the so-called "Old Testament" were preserved when the Hebrews were exiled to Babylon and that the current "OT" texts are based on compilations made after the exile. Accordingly the "Old Testament" texts are ALSO suspect at some level!

Furthermore, Yah has indicated that substantial bodies of even the above "NT" manuscripts were removed and locked in the vaults of the Vatican because they contained passages that too obviously evidenced that the teachings of the Christian (Roman) church were deviant relative to the teachings of Yahooshua. Yah says that this includes writings which make it clear that Yahooshua did NOT introduced enforced monogamy and that make it clear that Yahooshua was NOT Yah in the flesh.

6. The English – persecution and tradition – burned at the stake

Then it is important to realize that the first English translations were produced under arduous conditions.

The manuscripts were held tightly by the professional "priests" of the Roman church and were not allowed to be seen by the "laity" for various reasons, including that a lot of the doctrine of the day was NOT in the bible.

The first English translators suffered terrible persecution, some were tortured and released, others were burned alive at the stake.

If you are not aware of the gross evils of the Roman church in the so-called Middle Ages you are doing yourself a disservice in terms of your understanding of the historical context to the religion that you practice IF in any shape or form it derives from Christianity.

Thus, whether knowingly or unknowingly the early translators translated within the context of their current doctrine and the traditions of the "church" of their age and at some level steered clear of the more controversial subjects like the Sunday Sabbath, the use of "the LORD", "God", enforced monogamy, etc, etc.

Thus, from the outset the English translations from the Greek perpetuated and elaborated on the errors, distortions and corruptions in the Greek texts and encapsulated many pagan errors.

Even today just about every version and translation continues to perpetuate these errors and there is very little awareness of what is written above and very little desire to correct these errors.

It is easier to avoid persecution by men and be accepted than it is to tackle the many gross errors that accompany the traditional pagan names, pagan feasts, avoidance of Hebrew roots, etc. This grieves our loving Father Yah DEEPLY!

IF you aspire to be His friend and child then you MUST go to great lengths to seek and apply HIS truths and His commandments, use His correct name, observe His Sabbaths, etc.

Partly these errors are perpetuated in ignorance but Yah has also said to me that in this age, with the ease of access to all the above information on the Internet, the current generation are WITHOUT EXCUSE – we will be judged harshly if we perpetuate the errors of our forefathers.

7. The "New Testament" – a litany of meaningless and corrupt words and erroneous translations

Presumably for the reasons outlined above we find that virtually every version and translation of the so-called "New Testament" contains a litany of meaningless and corrupt words and erroneous translations.

The composite effect of all these errors and corruptions is to create an apparent divide between the "Old Testament" and the "New Testament" that simply does NOT EXIST.

This is compounded by similar errors in the so-called "Old Testament" that are carried through into the "New" – please remember that there is NO SUCH THING as this distinction.

The writings in the book do NOT label themselves "Old Testament" and "New Testament", these divisions were added later by men and have no basis in fact, they are simply a further manifestation of the impacts of the historical events summarized above.

As we have seen there is NO "New Testament", there is ONLY a covenant entered into by Yahooshua and delegated by him to his followers and which was tightly constrained by the Torah, the commandments given by Yah at Sinai to Moshe.

Remember also that the word "Law" in the NT is used variously for the commandments given at Sinai (the Ten Commandments – the essence of the Covenant given through Moshe), the broader range of teachings ascribed to Moshe, the Talmud (the Rabbinic law compiled by the Scribes and Pharisees over the centuries) and the Oral law (extension of the Rabbinic law with traditions, etc also compiled by the Scribes and Pharisees) – it is these LATTER mandmade "laws" that Yahooshua taught against and warned people to avoid, Yahooshua taught according to the commandments given by Yah to Moshe at Sinai and adhered to them and taught those who followed him to do likewise – THIS is the way that he referred to when he said he was the way – the way of observing the essential commandments of Yah.

So we find ourselves immersed in a morass of English words that have the potential to lead us down a seriously wrong road and which HAVE led almost the entire Christian Church, ALL DENOMINATIONS, down that seriously wrong road.

Consider a few words by way of example:

Testament – actually Covenant – a blood contract with a death penalty NOT a will

Holy – means "set apart" – separated from

Christ – means anointed with the Spirit of Yah or an anointed one NOT Yahooshua's second name – causes huge confusion with regard to the identity of Yahooshua

Christ – Messiah – actually anointed one – if you are a Spirit filled believer YOU are a christ or a messiah!

Jesus – Joshua in the "Old Testament" but ACTUALLY Yahooshua

Mary – Miriam in the "Old Testament"

John – Jonathan in the "Old Testament", ACTUALLY Yahoochanan (Yah has graced)

Baptize – bathed in the "OT" (King James Version) but actually immersed

Gospel – actually "good news"

Angel – actually "messenger"

Cross – stake in the "OT" and correctly stake

Paul – initially Saul but changed part way through the "NT" with no explanation – note that Paul is Roman and Saul, correctly Shaul, is Hebrew

Church – congregation in the "OT" or assembly or body of believers

Lord – sometimes correct when referring to Yahooshua but sometimes referring to Yah the eternally-self existing (incorrectly "the LORD" in the "OT") – causes huge confusion with regard to the identity of Yahooshua

God – incorrect in the OT

Son of man – actually "son of Adam"

There are many others but these are the ones that come to mind right now – if you really dig into these words and the impacts they have in supporting wrong understanding you will find yourself immensely challenged and if you manage to come out the other side you will find yourself greatly blessed and MUCH CLOSER TO YAH and well on the way to finding yourself to be regarded by Him as a friend and devoted servant and child who truly loves Him.

How can you say you love Him if you continue to practice these errors once you have been shown the truth

8. Today – trusting, naïve, gullible, unquestioning belief in human (demonic) traditions

So where are we today?

The vast majority of people abdicate their critical faculties, do not question and go forward in blind unquestioning "faith" in the teachings of professional priests (pastors) who abdicate their man given responsibility to provide accurate teaching.

Words such as naïve, gullible, "blind faith", foolishness come to mind.

Someone tells us "the bible is the word of God and without error" and we trustingly take that on board, read the book at some level with all the errors touched on above and open ourselves up to harsh judgment on the Day of Judgment.

How do you respond?

Pray constantly "Father I ask you to show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it, I ask you to judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly, lead me into all truth, help me to overcome to the end and be found a good and faithful servant, etc" all in the name of Yahooshua.

Fast and seek truth as I have described before.

If you are NOT actively seeking truth you can be absolutely certain that you are gaining error – Satan is god, mighty one of this world and the forces of darkness are very much in charge on this planet. We are surrounded by billions of demons and millions of fallen messengers {~~angels~~} which are LITERALLY HELL BENT on sending every one of us to hell – if they can prevent any human being from being in right standing with Yah on the day Yahooshua is scheduled to return and if they can prevent the good news of the covenant through Yahooshua being preached to ALL the world in the name of Yah and Yahooshua then Yahooshua will NEVER return and Satan will rule on earth for eternity!

9. The REAL covenant of Yahooshua

What then is the REAL covenant entered into by Yahooshua?

It is simple really:

Yahooshua fulfilled the Aaronic priesthood and substituted for them to make it MUCH EASIER to comply with the terms of the covenant given to Moshe – necessary because by the time of Yahooshua the priesthood was corrupt.

Yahooshua replaced the animal sacrifice or offering of the covenant given to Moshe with bread and wine again making it MUCH easier to comply with the terms of the covenant – necessary because days were coming when it was impossible to obtain an animal to sacrifice or a priest to conduct the sacrifice let alone a temple where the sacrifice could be offered.

Yahooshua REgained authority over Satan and delegated it to us so that we might come to the throne of Yah (the throne of Grace) and petition Yah based on the delegated righteousness of Yahooshua and also take authority over the forces of darkness in the name of King Yahooshua.

Basically, those three points are the essence of Yahooshua's covenant – no matter what anyone tells you!

The rest of the work that Yahooshua accomplished was reinstatement of the existing terms and conditions that existed from the time of Adam but which became progressively lost and corrupted over the years as a consequence of the fallen state of man and which were reinstated through Moshe.

Remember that up to the moment that Yahooshua's side was pierced by the spear and the blood ran down the stake, down the earthquake crack ONTO the Mercy Seat on the Ark of the Covenant there was NO covenant relating to Yahooshua. At that point Yahooshua had complied with the terms of his agreement with Yah and lived a life without sin, pronounced by the Spirit of Yah certain contractual statements, had various pronouncements made over him by sons of Adam (men) with the legal right to make those pronouncements and died, still without sinning. Then and ONLY THEN did his covenant come into existence.

Thus EVERY SINGLE THING that Yahooshua performed was in terms of the covenants that existed before his birth, the so-called "Old Covenant" or, if you like, the Covenant given through Moshe – thus the healings, the raising from the dead, the "prophetic" utterances were ALL so-called "Old Covenant", in fact, if you will have it, Yahooshua was an "Old Covenant Prophet"!

Ultimately ALL that Yahooshua set out to accomplish was to make it possible for us to be in relationship with Yah and keep Yah's commandments (the Ten Commandments) and have a way of recovering when we missed it (sinned).

Conclusion

I want to challenge you to energetically and actively seek truth and actively seek to let go of all the wrong beliefs that you have been taught, that is IF YOU TRULY LOVE YAH.

If you love the traditions and teachings of men so much that you are not willing to let go of the wrong names, wrong words, wrong beliefs, idolatry of Yahooshua and the bible, etc then do yourself a favour, own your attachment to the errors of man and enjoy life while you can so that at least on the Day of Judgment you can say that you enjoyed your sin and do not have regrets when you are consigned to the lake of fire for eternity.

2011.07.10 James: What do YOU believe about the bible? REALLY?

In response to a recent conversation I thought I would set out in some detail what I have come to understand about the bible over the years because, what Yah has shown me is EXTREMELY CONTROVERSIAL and will probably shock most who read this.

To place this in context let me headline my encounters with, and beliefs relating to the bible:

About 1970 – someone tells me "you really should read the bible, it is the Word of God"-- I start in Genesis, get to a few men with more than one wife, recognize this does not agree with what the church teaches and throw the book away. In the years that follow in become disillusioned with the church and walk away almost totally.

In 1993 after a dramatic encounter with the Almighty Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, Yah the eternally self-existing, who at that time was introduced to me as "God" and "the LORD" I chose to believe that the bible is the "inerrant Word of God" and believe everything in it – I hold it up to Yah, take a solemn vow, and ask Him to answer all my questions.

In the years that follow I read the Old Testament over 20 times in numerous translations and the New Testament over 35 times in even more numerous translations. I ask numerous questions and all are answered. Some questions take years to answer.

In 2001 after a huge number of encounters with Yah such that I know His voice clearly, Yah says to me that the book is NOT His Word and that it is SIN to worship it!

I have spent the last decade digesting that and coming to terms with it and this document summarizes what I have come to learn after a lengthy period of readjusting my thinking about the book.

The headlines are as follows

1. The book does not make any claims for itself

People claim that the bible is "THE inerrant word of God", "THE WORD", etc but nowhere does the book make such claims for itself.

The exact age of the book is unsure but it seems certain that the current compilation was finalized about 300 AD or a bit later. Search on the Internet for conflicting opinions.

What seems fairly sure is that it was compiled by a committee who deliberated at length over what was to be included.

What is easily verifiable is that there are a number of books with the title "Holy Bible" produced by different groups which differ to a material extent regarding the exact content of the book.

What is also reasonably easily verifiable is that there are multiple source manuscripts that DISAGREE in over one thousand places in the so-called "New Testament" so much so that the so-called Trinity, which occurs only once is NOT in all manuscripts and other passages on which deep doctrine is based are not present in all manuscripts.

What is not generally known is that Yah said to me many years ago that there were errors of translation and that key books were missing and were locked away in the crypts of a large international religious body.

What few people recognize is that there are 66 "books" in the so-called "Protestant Bible", the version most widely used today and 6 is the number of man and 666 is the number of the beast and that the existence of precisely 66 books might just be Yah's way of saying that man has been "messing with the book".

Bottom line?

Not only does the book NOT claim to be the inerrant Word of Yah or even the Word of Yah there are numerous source texts and numerous published versions and, in addition to that there are numerous translations in English alone, one source says over 450 English versions and over 2,000 in total.

Remember also that bible comes from the Greek biblios which means book as in the Afrikaans for library which is "biblioteek" – so the word bible means nothing of significance.

Consider also:

IF the bible really was what people claim for it it would be reasonable to expect that the author of every one of the disparate 66 tracts written over several thousand years would preface his writing with some declaration of the following form "I …name of writer… hereby declare that Yah the eternally self-existing has spoken to me and dictated verbatim that which follows which comprises vvv paragraphs, www sentences, xxx words, yyy letters with a total Hebrew / Greek numeric value count of zzz,zzz,zzz (all Hebrew and Greek letters have numeric values). I testify that every word that I have written was given to me personally by Yah and I have not added to nor have I subtracted from what Yah has given me" – may Yah strike me dead if I have lied about this in any way.

Not one single passage in the bible has any declaration at all about its veracity let alone a robust statement such as that above which would result in an inviolate passage of text that was not amenable to scribal error or amendment through the use of the statistics included above.

Instead, we have differing manuscripts of the same passage that contain material differences from one another and many of these manuscripts are compilations based on physical fragments found in different locations and assembled together through human endeavour.

NO, there is no way that a single passage in the book claims to be inspired, let alone fully inspired, let alone without error.

Note also that unless a person is so confident of the level of inspiration that they are willing for Yah to strike them dead if they have lied then there is no reason to place your ENTIRE TRUST regarding your future for eternity in these writings.

Consider further that IF the bible is what is claimed for it then the compilers of the book should identify themselves by name and make a similarly robust declaration with the additional declaration that the book comprises nnn (where nnn = 66 in the modern Protestant bible) passages all of which are inspired and all of which Yah told the compilers to include in the book.

In the absence of such claims ALL that can be said of the book is that it is a collection of writings by various human beings over a period of between 500 and 2,000 years compiled by other human beings and containing some important information about the interaction of the Almighty Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, Yah the eternally-self existing with men during this period

2. The beliefs about the book restrict Yah terribly -- "this tiny book"

Late last year (December 2010) I was walking past a very large bookshop in the area where I live.

I was drawn to look into the shop and Yah said clearly to me "son of man, do you see how this people limit me to this tiny book" at that moment I understood clearly that the total writings of mankind comprise billions of pages of text, I have in my life alone written many thousands of pages, I have written in excess of 7,000 pages on the matters of the Almighty alone, more text than in the entire bible.

Yet our modern day teachers teach us that the ENTIRE CANON, the entire body of authoritative inspired writing, the WORD OF GOD, is restricted to one little book of about 1,300 pages depending on font size, layout and page size.

It is a GROSS INSULT to the Almighty to suggest that this is the sum total of what He has managed to communicate to human beings as a reference in getting to know Him.

It IS mercy and grace that He has permitted this minuscule record to be persevered as some way for us to come to know Him but it is vital to recognize that this is ALL it is, a minuscule record.

Men have written billions of pages containing words inspired by the Spirit of Yah and yet those who claim to love Him limit Him to just over a thousand pages!

It is a GROSS INSULT and hurts and angers Yah GREATLY!

3. The beliefs about the book have neutralized and disempowered anointed ones for over 1,700 years

Another consequence of this worship of the book, for that is what it is, the Bible is an IDOL, is that anointed one's have undervalued the words that Yah has given them because they perceive the bible to be the FINAL AUTHORITY!

I have met highly anointed one's who have become careless with their words because they do not attach the same significance to the words Yah speaks through them as they attach to "the WORD OF GOD".

This grieves and angers Yah AND it disempowers these anointed ones and leads them into serious sin.

Every word that Yah speaks through a human being is of equal and inestimable value – it is an insult to Yah to suggest that some of His words in history are of more value than the words He speaks today.

Yah is speaking GREAT words to this generation through His anointed emissaries and spokesmen {~~Apostles and Prophets~~} and it is vital that they are heard.

One of the greatest prophetic works of this generation is devalued because the spokesman repeatedly states that the words Yah is speaking to Him are NOT of the same status of the words in the bible AND that the "Canon of scripture is closed" and by implication Yah cannot teach us anything new. As a consequence this person does NOT hear anything new and perpetuates serious errors in his doctrine.

This is a gross insult to Yah and a gross disservice to His anointed one's in this generation.

If YOU are an anointed one it is time for YOU to take grave responsibility for EVERY word that Yah speaks to you and THROUGH you!!!!!!!!

4. Pleases Satan immensely, one of his greatest triumphs

This marginalization of the words of Yah is one of Satan's greatest triumphs and causes great rejoicing and mirth in the kingdom of darkness.

Satan is god (mighty one) and king of this world and nothing happens on earth unless he consents OR unless a strongly anointed one in right standing with Yah speaks it into existence. Since the latter is so infrequent in this age almost all of what happens on earth today is happening at the express leading of the kingdom of Satan.

Thus it is that Satan has PERMITTED AND ENCOURAGED the spread of the bible and its widespread acceptance as the Word of God knowing full well that this belief massively restricts and hampers Yah in His goals for mankind. Satan has also faked resistance in order to get people to believe in the bible! Men have died terrible deaths in seeking to preserve these few words, and will be rewarded in heaven, BUT Satan has destroyed them in order to give credence to the lie that the bible is the word of God!

Foolish arguments based on "the bible says it, I believe it" neutralizes faith in Yah with the intellectually critical and even with those who are not so critical and results in those who believe this lie suspending their critical faculties in order to believe something that is palpably false with the result that their faith becomes foolish and without power and open to demonic and satanic forces to work through them.

5. Most is verifiable history, nothing more, nothing impressive, a little inspiration

Much of what is contained in the bible is no more than historical accounts of the lives of various people and nations.

There is NO NEED for these passages to be inspired and there is nothing impressive about what is contained in them.

To the extent that they are at some level inspired they are at best minute fragments of all that was recorded by inspired men and women about the events of those times in history.

Building an argument about the flood of Noah on the basis of "the bible says it, I believe it", is gross foolishness, there are hundreds, some say over 600 independent historical accounts of this flood IN ADDITION to the one in Genesis.

Yet believers neutralize one of the most important testimonies of Yah with their foolish remarks and beliefs.

I have recently completed a work proving a Global Flood WITHOUT USING THE BIBLE and have had several people give me writings of others who seek to prove the same thing but within the first couple of pages make some sort of statement which says implicitly "I believe the bible and that proves there was a flood and you are an idiot if you do not believe the bible" – they do not use this language but the language they DO use gives this message – driven by the demons that have taken hold of them through their foolishness in believing that the bible IS what so many claim for it and in the process suspending their intellect.

Remember as I say this that for about eight years I too subscribed to these beliefs and you will find many of my early writings which are built on this foundation. I confess this as sin and repent before Yah for my foolishness!

6. Sets Yah up as a ruthless, manipulative puppet master

In order to believe that "the bible is the Word of Yah and without error and EVERY word in the bible was breathed by Yah" and that "Yah knows the end from the beginning" it is necessary to believe that the events recorded in history were foreordained such that Yah planned for David to commit adultery with Bathsheba and then have her husband murdered, and, and, and …

So, those who believe these things set Yah up as a ruthless puppet master who manipulates the lives of mankind in order to prepare stories to be included in "His book"!

Do you have any idea how Satan laughs when powerful anointed servants of Yah make such statements to gullible audiences who absorb these lies and in the process suspend their critical faculties?

This is a huge victory for Satan and his forces and if YOU desire to make a difference on the earth you need to let go of these wrong beliefs.

7. Is made up of disparate and inconsistent fragments in both the "Old" and the "New"

If you really get a fix on the extent to which the bible has been compiled from disparate and inconsistent fragments, the "old testament" during and after the Babylonian exile and the "new testament" after massive persecution of the anointed believers by the Jews and the Romans you should let go of any belief about the bible being the "inerrant word of God" very quickly.

Incidentally, there is NO SUCH THING as the "Old Testament" and the "New Testament" – nowhere is this distinction made in the texts that make up the book, it is only there through the actions of the people who assembled the book or those who have translated it and published it over the years.

The writings contained in the book are a SINGLE FRAGMENTARY RECORD Yah's interactions with mankind over a period of about 4,000 years during which numerous covenants were entered into, including the covenant facilitated by Moshe {~~Moses~~} at Sinai and the covenant facilitated by Yahooshua at Golgotha.

8. Is doctrinally corrupt in both the Greek and English and resulting child translations

The lie about "new" and "old" is compounded by completely disparate translation between the books before Yahooshua and the books about Yahooshua and after Yahooshua. Mary the mother of Yahooshua would be "Miriam" in the books before Yahooshua just as men called Yahooshua are called Joshua before the birth of Yahooshua of Natsareth son of Miriam but becomes Jesus afterwards. The extent to which these translation errors distort the truth and result in people reading the bible to say that Yahooshua IS Yah or at least that "Jesus is God" is huge.

Modern bibles almost universally at translated in such a way that they make Jesus = God which is a GROSS ABOMINATION in the sight of Yah.

Then again we find that the books before Yahooshua have also been tampered with and the true name of the Creator, Yah has been substituted with Adonay and Elohym translated as "the LORD" and "God" both of which are pagan idolatrous names as discussed previously on this list.

These lies are also almost universally perpetuated in nearly all bible versions on earth today, much to Satan's pleasure.

9. Worship of the bible is a form of idolatry that Yah HATES and has condemned for over 1,500 years

Making the book "the inerrant WORD OF GOD" is huge error, it is one of the worst forms of idolatry in the world today, second only to the worship of Yahooshua by Christians and Messianics.

Yah made it clear through His spokesman {prophet} Mohammed that the "people of the book", the Christians and the Jews were in serious and deep error in their worship of the book and would face harsh judgment if they did not repent.

Yet those self-same people continue in their error 1,500 years later AND attack and condemn the Muslim people (people who seek to worship and serve Yah through the covenant made by Yah with Mohammed) and to perpetuate atrocities against them and, because those who are committed Muslims clearly see this error their dislike for Jews and Christians is magnified even though today, just as there are few Jews and Christians who in any meaningful way have a relationship with Yah there are few Muslims who have a meaningful relationship with Yah and so we face the possibility of escalating conflict in the world fueled in great measure by the Christian lies about Jesus and the Bible.

IF you are serious about serving Yah it is time to repent of worshiping the book and turn to Yah who is the author and finisher of our faith, the only saviour and the only deliverer, who created all things and who will judge all men on the Day of Judgment assisted by Yahooshua who through his obedient sacrifice is seated at the right hand of the Father WAITING for his enemies to be made his footstool.

One of the enemies that must be made his footstool is worship of the bible!

Conclusion

Worship of the book {~~Bible~~} is one of the greatest sins of Christianity today and is an abomination in the sight of Yah.

Will you continue to sin or will you repent and turn to Yah as the final source of ALL teaching and let His Spirit lead YOU into ALL TRUTH?

2011.05.03 Pastors – the Prison Warders of Yah's people

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).

2011.05.02 Why Yah could do much greater works thousands of years ago (level of anointing and level of prayer)

Have you ever wondered why Yah does not perform the sort of mighty works He performed in the time of Noah, of Abraham, of Moses, of EliYah, of Yahooshua – the flood, fire and brimstone from heaven, the parting of the Red Sea, fire from heaven on a smaller scale, storm calmed, continuous stream of highly visible miracle healings, etc?

One thing to notice in the above examples is that the scale and dramatic scope of events became less with the passage of time and has continued to become less to the present age.

Why is this?

The level of relationship of the believers with Yah of those closest to Yah has declined continuously over this period;

The level of anointing of the most anointed believers on earth has declined to the point where today Yah says that the most powerfully anointed person on earth today is operating under half the anointing that Yahooshua operated under;

The level of authority of the most senior members of Yah's family on earth has also declined in proportion to the above;

The number of highly anointed one's has declined;

The level of prayer and the nature of prayer has declined;

Satan's forces on earth have become much more knowledgeable in direct proportion to the extent to which those who believe have become increasingly ignorant of the matters of Yah and deviated from truth;

Satan's forces on earth have become proportionately more powerful and numerous in proportion to the degradation in power and number of the believers – almost the entire Christian church is in fact serving Satan through the wrong names, wrong sabbath, etc, etc – the issues that have been discussed previously on this list.

We have reached a point where for anything really visibly dramatic to happen on Yah's behalf on earth there needs to be a large group of believers in perfect harmony and agreement and at present it is a challenge to get even two who are anointed and committed to agree let alone pray in harmony.

Yah is MASSIVELY HAMPERED by the weakness and lackluster conduct of those of us who claim at some level to have a relationship with Him. Added to which, if He did want to do something most would argue that it was not in the bible and therefore would not listen to Him.

Have you ever wondered what Noah did without the bible?

There was NO biblical precedent therefore according to most believers today it could not have been Yah who brought the flood. In fact, Noah would probably be kicked out of just about every church on the planet today if he came warning of coming judgment.

The same can be said of Abraham, Moses, EliYah, Yahooshua – they would all be kicked out of the modern church for failing to submit to the Pastor and teaching doctrines that were not in the bible of their time – in fact, that is basically why Yahooshua was executed – he was doing things that were contrary to the teachings of the Scribes and Pharisees – read "Pastor and church council".

If you have not been kicked out of a church recently you need to ask yourself what you are doing to cosy up to the devil!

So, the bottom line, for Satan to be sent to the Pit, somebody had to do something that was not set out in the bible – if it were set out in the bible in detail Satan would have prevented it from happening, but it happened quietly and without fanfare.

Likewise, Yahooshua will not return in response to wide publicity as keeps happening at present, he said he would come as a thief in the night, NOT appearing to people all over the place telling them he is coming soon and is going to take them away from all this suffering, etc.

What are YOU going to do differently going forward in order to challenge the status quo (Satan in the church) and make a difference on earth for Yah? -- try praying those prayers I sent you a few days ago every day and doing all the things in the article 2011.03.08 How do I get to a MUCH closer relationship with Yah?

Conclusion

Please think about this and pray about this, it is vital to understand this if you are to overcome in this age and to make a difference in your service of Yah.

2011.04.28 Proof of a Global Flood -- Turning history on its head

http://www.youtube.com/user/ProofOfGlobalFlood

In the article "Noah is father to ALL men living" I mentioned the series of videos proving there has been a Global Flood which I have created.

Following is an overview of the suite of videos.

These are all available on YouTube at

Overview of the programme

Was there REALLY a GLOBAL FLOOD??

Most people pooh pooh the idea of a global flood

but

everywhere you go on earth the evidence is STARING YOU IN THE FACE!

Really?

Yes, REALLY!

This video, "Turning history on its head -- Proof of a Global Flood" presents a comprehensive analysis of the huge diversity of evidence around the world that shouts of the occurrence of a global flood.

and

evidences that this took place not so long ago

and asks the question

"was this a judgment by the Creator?"

and

if so

is there another judgment to come?

and

are YOU PREPARED?

Where will YOU spend eternity?

Join us for what I truly believe you will find to be a challenging and exciting ride

Overview

I have finally completed my project to create a video evidencing the reality of a recent global flood based as far as possible on information that you can verify by inspection of geology and topography not far from where you live and based on your observations of the world we live in.

Interestingly we were busy with the final editing of these videos when the earthquake and tsunami's hit Japan providing reinforcing images of the massive capacity of water to reshape things.

In this programme I have set out to avoid the use of emotive language and "the bible is the word of God and it says there was a flood so you better believe it" language.

As an engineer and scientist, an intellectual and, at some level, an academic I have set out to prove there has been a flood based on entirely systematic, rational argument.

I use standard engineering principles like "proof by contradiction", "extrapolation is to be avoided", "engineers design bridges NOT to fall down" and others to develop my argument.

This is supported by evidence that most physical attributes in the real world exhibit exponential characteristics and that linear extrapolation is invalid and unreliable.

This is supported by images from NASA which evidence large quantities of water in the form of ice comets and other objects that could easily impact the earth, melt and flood the planet, massive instability in the Universe around us, runaway stars traveling at a speed that would take them from the earth to the moon in an hour, and other evidence to prove that millions or billions of years of steady state conditions is entirely unlikely.

We go down a Gold mine to find evidence of massive water deposited sediments over two kilometres thick that have been up-thrust by at least seven kilometres and then baked, as in a furnace, to produce glassy quartzite rock. We ask how this could happen and conclude that only a massive hydraulic and tectonic event (flood) could explain this. Dramatic change happens rapidly, NOT slowly.

We travel the world to look at massive sedimentary deposits of water laid material turned to rock, the Grand Canyon, Fish River Canyon, Table Mountain, Uluru (Ayres Rock), all over the world massive depths of water laid material compressed and converted to rock. The only possible explanation is a massive worldwide flood resulting in massive Tsunami's ripping around the planet.

From there we have a look at the Halfway House Granite dome and other granite dome's around the world, massive intrusions that speak to massive disruption of the earth's surface and sudden and rapid breaking through of the earth's crust by molten magma that solidified almost instantly on contact with cold water and cold mud and slush.

From here we take a look at the African Erosion Surface, a massive level plain about 1,700 meters above sea level and parallel with the sea surface which extends over much of Africa. We examine the mechanics of constructing and forming plain and level surfaces and conclude that a massive uniform cutting action is the only possible explanation for this land form. The only possible mechanism is, once again, water! Massive tsunami's ripping around the planet scything off material uniformly.

But, we see a further problem, all over the world we are confronted with massively incised valleys, cliffs and other land forms which speak of huge volumes of rock and earth dramatically ripped away and deposited hundreds or even thousands of kilometres away. The forces required to do this are huge and, again, can only be explained by massive water action. This in turn speaks to a massive disruption of the stability of the earth leading to rapid separation of the continents and drainage of water.

Where to next?

Well, traditional theories suggest that this all took place gradually millions or billions of years ago, but there is a further problem, the rocks in many places show sharp clean fracture corners and the rock is clean. The rounding and moss and lichen growth you would expect to form over millions of years is absent.

We then look at some challenging realities, historical documents that are generally accepted to be at least 2,500 years old that assert that there was a global flood about 4,500 years ago. Timelines and records from various cultures that corroborate this. We find, in a passage of writing commonly referred to as "Genesis" and contained in the book commonly called "the Bible" such historical accounts and also an account that says that a man called Noah or Nuh survived a flood in a wooden vessel, commonly referred to as an Ark.

Then, we discover that the remains of a wooden ship of the same dimensions has been found in the mountains of Ararat in Turkey, just where the historical account says they will be found.

So, what do we believe?

"Scientific" theories that defy basic engineering principles to "prove" by dubious extrapolation that these events happened millions or billions of years ago, or mutually corroborating ancient writings which indicate that it happened about 4,500 years ago?

And so,

To the next stage …

HOW did this happen?

We look at large chunks of ice orbiting just outside our Solar System and postulate that one of these could easily be deflected, strike the earth's atmosphere, melt and flood the earth. We look at Ice Comets only 160 times the distance of the earth to the moon away and draw similar conclusions.

We look at a massive crater on Mars which has characteristics that one would realistically expect from impact by an ice object and see that such a crater stretches from Cape Town to Lusaka, a distance of over 2,000 kilometres.

We also postulate that a near miss by a larger object made partly or entirely of ice could provide sufficient water to flood the earth AND cause the orbit of the earth to shift from circular to elliptical AND cause the earth to tilt on its axis in the process giving rise to massive instability and disruption of the surface of the earth. All entirely consistent with the facts presented so far.

Thus the mechanism for all the geological and topographic formations presented in the video are entirely explainable at a level of reliability that satisfies my need for engineering "explainability".

But

We face a further challenge

The writings labelled "Genesis" claim that this event was triggered by the being who it also claims created the heavens and the earth, one who is customarily referred to as God, the LORD, Allah, one whose existence many dispute.

We go on to explore this thesis by examining further evidence of the reliability of the accounts contained in the writings referred to as Genesis and Exodus. We look at the remains of cities turned to ash in line with what is reported in Genesis as another judgement. We find the remains of chariots, human and horse skeletons on the floor of the Red Sea where Exodus says they will be found, corroborating another alleged judgment. We find a fire blackened mountain in line with Exodus where it is alleged that this Almighty Creator dictated "Ten Commandments", ten laws, as the basis of judgment of mankind for all time and wrote them on stone.

We consider these commandments and discover that they were placed in a receptacle referred to as "The Ark of the Covenant" and note that this has also been found, together with the tablets of stone, under an execution site which correlates with other historical accounts relating to the execution of a man by the name of Yahooshua, the anointed of Yah (Yah being the true name of the Creator and Yahooshua being the correct name of one commonly known as Jesus Christ).

And so,

We raise the question

Could there be one more judgment?

A judgment which will commit those who fail the test to burn in eternal fire for eternity but qualify those who succeed and overcome to live in a place of great beauty for eternity. We ask you to consider your options and your opinions.

Did the flood "just happen" or was it the consequence of a judgment by the Creator and, if it was a judgment, is there another judgment to come by fire in which we will all participate?

Finally we wrap up with some interesting but little known religious facts.

We have just released this programme comprising two DVD's with a total of twelve video segments following the outline presented above.

It is accompanied by a computer data CD containing a collection of eBooks and articles and other material for further reading, plus the artwork and other material necessary for you to duplicate and distribute these materials yourself together with the PowerPoint presentations if you would like to translate the material or use it for tailored presentations.

The CD also contains the material from a business course of mine titled "Why your ERP is not delivering and how to fix it" and a selection of articles relating to business effectiveness generally.

Conclusion

Once you become sensitized to the evidence you will find that no matter where you go in the world you WILL find evidence of a global flood and this will strengthen your belief in the Creator.

Father, I ask that as we read what follows you will blow away by your Spirit all that is NOT according to your will and your ways, please blow away all lies and deception and leave only that which is from you, I ask this in the name of Yahooshua.

2011.02.18 Where will YOU spend eternity?

The most important question facing every human being today, as in every generation, is:"Where will I spend eternity?"

This provides important context to the discussion regarding the truth about the Bible

The pdf can be downloaded by clicking on this link

Note that since writing this article I have come to understand that those who are rejected on the Day of Judgment will NOT burn in torment for eternity but will be cast into the fire and utterly consumed such that they are NO MORE

2011.02.14 Are visions precise and free of error?

I have just published in quick succession three accounts of dramatic supernatural visions or out of body experiences by three different people who have visited heaven and / or hell.

1. The dilemma posed by the articles just published

In all three cases the articles present information which is at some level at-odds with what I believe and have been publishing.

All the articles refer to Jesus, all at some level give worship to Jesus and some equate him as being God, some refer to Jesus coming soon. There are other points. This contrasts with my belief that the correct name of Jesus is Yahooshua and that there are increasing penalties for using Jesus that God should be translated the Almighty or might one, that the LORD should be translated Yah the eternally self-existing, that Yahooshua is NOT Yah and it is sin to worship Yahooshua and that Yahooshua will only return in about a thousand years time.

How do I interpret these discrepancies?

How do YOU interpret them?

What should YOU believe?

What should I believe?

Am I in error?

In this article I will endeavour to point you at what I believe is the answer and then leave it to you to pray about it and reach your own conclusion.

The simple answer is to conclude that James Robertson has missed it, that these people have been to heaven or hell or both and had dramatic personal encounters with Jesus and their accounts must therefore be entirely reliable.

Problem is that I claim to have had encounters with the Almighty and to have been shown that there are problems with using Jesus, that Yahooshua is NOT coming soon, etc.

One could easily get into a position where one either believes one writer or one believes the other because simplistically it would appear that one or other writer is in serious error.

But what if all parties have some truth and some error?

What if the mechanism for delivery of visions and out of body experiences is in some way constrained so there are limitations on the accuracy of the message received?

What if we cannot rely entirely on ANY message by ANY human being, including the messages in the collection of writings in the book (Greek biblios) or bible?

2. A personal experience

In 1994 I had a dramatic personal encounter with Father Yah where He filled my bedroom with a mighty rushing wind and then placed His hand on me for what seemed like twenty minutes.

The next morning I started to prophesy at a level beyond that which I had done previously and I started to pray for people and see dramatic healings.

A few months later Father introduced me to a number of shepherds {~~pastors~~} from Malawi and sometime later they invited me to minister in Malawi.

I went and while up there had a dramatic encounter with Father Yah where His Spirit came upon me so strongly that the other people in the room were knocked to the floor as I walked towards them and Father Yah spoke through me in the first person to each one of us for a period of over an hour and then taught us through me for another couple of hours.

We all knew that it was Yah speaking, no one believed that the things that were coming out of my mouth originated with me.

At that time all I knew was Jesus, God, the LORD, cross, etc and therefore what came out of my mouth used those words since I did not know they were incorrect and I did not know any other words.

If I had said Yahooshua, Mighty One, Yah the eternally self-existing and stake I would not have known what I was saying, nor would anyone else in the room. So the Spirit of Yah was constrained to use the words and concepts that I was familiar with.

It took about another five or six years before I was able to learn about the true names and was open enough to consider the possibility that the words that I had been using all my life were pagan and false.

Chances are that if Yah had tried to give me a lesson on those points at that time that I would have lost my audience and it is quite possible that I would have run away or shut-up as well.

The conclusion I draw from this experience is that Daddy Yah is constrained to meet us where our knowledge and experience permits us to meet Him and that no matter how dramatic the experience we should always be willing to accept the possibility, in fact the reality, that we will have at some level filtered and possibly contaminated the message He wanted to give to us and through us.

It is only by being willing to constantly review and question what we believe and seek greater truth by praying prayers like "Father please show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it" that we can hope to grow in truth.

In the sections that follow I will endeavour to explain more fully what happens and how this constrains Daddy Yah in even the most dramatic experiences.

3. The translation mechanism whereby the Spirit of Yah communicates with our human spirit

Yah is Spirit and He communicates with us through electromagnetic impulses that are received by the radio transceiver we call the brain and converted into our language.

As far as I understand it, Yah does NOT speak our language, He communicates to us in His language and our soul and brain perform a translation of the signal He gives us into the language we understand.

Thus, if I associate the electromagnetic signal which relates to the name of Yah with the words "the LORD" then I will make that association, if I associate that same impulse with "Yah the eternally self-existing" then that is what I will hear and what I will say.

It seems that this same filtering and translation mechanism may even apply at some level to the images given in visions, etc – thus if I believe that Yahooshua died on a cross not a stake I will see him on a cross in a vision whereas if I understand it was a stake and NOT a cross then I will see him on a stake.

4. We filter the signals through our paradigm

So we filter the signals through our paradigm of Yah, Yahooshua, etc.

5. It seems we cannot receive all signals

It also seems that we may not necessarily be able to receive all signals.

Thus, if I am totally convinced that the name of Yahooshua is Jesus I will only be able to receive that, if I receive the word Yahooshua my brain will not recognize it and not know what to do with it and it will be discarded.

6. It seems these experiences can only be given within the parameters of some level of knowledge

I further have the impression that there are some constraints on what we are permitted to be shown in visions, dreams and out of body experiences.

It seems that for the most part these experiences are permitted in order to elaborate on what we already know and not in order to fundamentally correct error of belief in us.

That is challenging because there is a widely held implicit belief that if a person has a dramatic experience like a vision or out of body experience, everything they report is reliable and accurate.

It is a challenge to consider the possibility that their brains may have filtered and conditioned the messages received and even blocked them or corrected them.

It seems there may also be some spiritual legal constraints on what can be given this way – otherwise all that would be required to bring the entire planet to saving knowledge of Yah would be to give every human being the sort of experience of Hell described by Bill Wiese.

It seems that we have to gain a certain minimum level of knowledge in any area BEFORE we can get confirmation of this through a vision, dream, etc.

7. Rely on NO man – draw near to Yah

The key learning from this discussion is that we should rely on NO man.

Use the experiences of others to challenge ourselves, cause us to change opinion, etc but then draw close to Yah and seek the truth directly from Him.

Conclusion

The bottom line is that, no matter how powerful the experience of other people, we must draw close to Yah and seek our truth from Him and NOT from men.

Men may act as agents or catalysts to help us learn or change but ultimately we must turn to Yah if we are to overcome to the end!!

2011.02.06 Understanding Satan's devices

There is much misunderstanding relating to the mechanisms that Satan and those that follow him use to deceive the world.

This is to be expected since Satan gains the whole world in the end IF he can deceive all of mankind to follow him and listen to and obey his lies.

Even though Satan is currently in the Pit for a thousand years as indicated in an earlier article, his forces, the messengers {~~angels~~}, demons and humans (including Satanists, witches, etc) have pulled out all the stops to win victory on earth before Satan is released.

If they succeed, they will rule on earth for eternity and will NOT burn in the lake of fire and brimstone (Revelation 21:8) because there will NOT be any human being with the sanctification, authority and anointing to declare the earth ready to receive king Yahooshua and therefore he will NOT return.

Unless you are aware that Yahooshua may not return and that his return is dependent on the actions of anointed followers of Yah, you will live life seriously inappropriately relative to understanding that YOU can make a difference?

It is therefore vital to understand how the forces of darkness operate. The main issues are set out below:

1. The battle is spiritual but uses human beings as the primary instrument

It is vital to understand that the entire battle is between the fallen messengers {~~angels~~} and demons who follow Satan and the messengers of Yah and Yah through His Spirit.

Both groups operate through human beings because those are the terms of engagement prescribed by Yah.

2. The forces of darkness seek to usurp the authority of Yah in man and make Satan mighty one {god} and king on earth forever

The goal of the forces of darkness is to make Satan king on earth at the end of the age by ensuring that there is not a single human being on the planet who is serving Yah with sufficient anointing and authority to declare the end of the age and declare that the earth is ready for the return of king Yahooshua.

This specific point is a classic case of what is being spoken about here.

Most believers believe that "Jesus is coming soon" to sort out the mess and that Jesus will cast Satan into the Pit.

This is a lie, human beings have to set themselves apart {sanctify} themselves, get rid of their error and prepare the earth for the return of the king – he is WAITING for his enemies to be made his footstool and it is the responsibility of human beings to make them Yahooshua's footstool.

3. The primary device that is used is to get human beings to break any or ALL of the Ten Commandments

The Ten Commandments constitute the fundamental basis of judgment.

Where you have broken any of these commandments and NOT repented at the end of your life you WILL spend part or all of eternity in the lake of fire (Revelation 21:8).

Yahooshua died in order that there might be grace and a way out of our sin and a way for repentance, but even this has been corrupted by Satan as I have discussed in previous articles.

We must constantly examine ourselves and ask Yah to judge us in order that we may avoid the lake of fire.

Satan's forces are constantly seeking to get us to break the Ten Commandments because, as long as we are breaking any one of the Commandments we are at some level in submission to Satan and our authority to destroy the kingdom of darkness is diminished and our vulnerability to attack is increased.

In order for us to keep the Ten Commandments we must have the truths that are necessary to do this.

For example, if you are deceived about Yahooshua being Yah and are worshipping Yahooshua you are breaking the first commandment which says that you shall not have any mighty-ones {~~gods~~} before Yah and accordingly you do not have authority to take certain key actions which are required in order to restore the Kingdom of Yah on earth.

4. The primary delivery mechanism is demons which counterfeit the set-apart {Holy} Spirit of Yah and lead and seduce human beings into error

The primary mechanism for the delivery of error is demons.

Messengers {~~angels~~} are also speaking to us but there are billions of demons, far more than there are messengers, and every human being on earth today is at some level infested with demons.

In order to get rid of all demons we must go through a lengthy process of deliverance, constantly examine our beliefs and our behaviour, look for evidence of demons and take the necessary actions.

As long as you are breaking any of the commandments you WILL be infested with the demons that gain the right to attach themselves to those who break the commandments you are breaking.

So, if you worship Jesus in these days you will have one or more demons that answer to the name of Jesus and those demons may give you "feel good experiences" in order to get you to believe that you are worshipping according to the will of the Almighty. The same applies to the false names, etc.

5. They dilute truth with only sufficient error to lock humans into sin and seek to infiltrate every group of humans

It is important to realize that the forces of darkness ONLY require humans to have enough error for the purposes of the forces of darkness to be achieved – that humans lack the authority to effectively oppose the forces of darkness and in particular to ensure that Yahooshua returns.

So, a person can have great amounts of truth but just enough error to send them to the lake of fire and prevent them having the authority necessary to effectively resist the forces of darkness.

Thus, the Christian church has great amounts of truth but it is diluted by critical error – the wrong names – God, the LORD, Jesus, Christ; worshipping Jesus / Yahooshua; worshipping the book {~~bible~~}, enforced monogamy, etc.

Each one of these sins is sending millions to hell and yet the essential message of the Christian church regarding Yahooshua is correct and there is huge TRUTH in the Christian church.

Many Christians have relationships with Yah, some have very close relationships with Yah BUT they are unable to hear Him about their critical errors because they are in bondage to the demons that are blocking their hearing on these issues.

That suits Satan and his forces well.

6. They may violently oppose error in order to entrench it

The forces of darkness may violently oppose error in order to entrench it.

So, through pride, self-righteousness and other demonic manifestations a person may aggressively oppose error in such a way that the person who is in error is unable to see their error because all they can see is the aggression and un-Yah-like {~~ungodly~~} behaviour of the person criticising them.

7. May mask their activities by accusing others of what they are doing

Demons frequently mask their activities by accusing others of doing what they are doing. The person so attacked is then so busy defending themselves and frequently so offended and hurt by the unjust accusations that they do not see that this is exactly what is being done to them.

When you encounter this type of opposition back off, shut up and leave it to Yah. Anything you say will increase the violence of the opposition and more deeply entrench the false beliefs, etc in the person attacking you.

8. Often operate through people who appear to be "good" e.g. most of the Christian church

As noted above, demons operate most directly in most of our lives through people we think of as being good.

Since we all have demons, they are operating through every one of us at some level UNLESS we are being particularly vigilant.

Good by our standards is NOT the issue, it is obedience to and submission to Yah that is the benchmark for determining "good" and ONLY YAH can be the judge of this.

9. If you are not battling at some level or have not emerged victorious from a battle recently the chances are that you are in agreement with the forces of darkness through error you are not aware of

If you are just coasting along and all things are going smoothly and there are no waves and no opposition and you are not experiencing some form of attack or focus from the enemy the chances are that you are IN THEIR CAMP, you just cannot see it.

And even if you ARE fighting the battle at some significant level that STILL does not guarantee that you are not at some level serving them.

Intense prayer, fasting, seeking Yah, asking Him to show you the level of your present deception and how to correct it, asking Him to judge you severely and correct you harshly – both prayed on a regular basis, and then sensitive response to His leading are minimum requirements to get free of these things.

Conclusion

I hope that the above gives you more insight into the battle we are facing and gives a few thoughts as to how you might respond!

2011.01.11 Clergy versus laity

Download pdf version

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

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

2010.11.02 The TRUE Names of the Almighty in the Bible -- Summary

ABSTRACT:

About ten years ago I became aware that the name of the Almighty was "Yahooeh" or "Yah the eternally self existing". At the same time I came to understand that "the LORD" was an accurate translation of "Baal" and was therefore blasphemous and that it was only through the mercy and grace of our Almighty Father in Heaven that He answered to the commonly used names.

As I continued in my research, led by His Spirit I came to understand that God was the name of a pagan deity and that the word Elohim commonly translated God should in fact have been translated Mighty One or Almighty depending on context.

I also came to understand that the name of the man commonly known as Jesus Christ was in fact "Yahooshua the anointed of Yah" and that Christ referred to the anointing or impartation of the Spirit of the Almighty on any human being. Yahooshua means "Yah is salvation".

I learned many other things in this context and this opened up a new understanding of many key issues.

In January 2002 I published a formal document titled "The Names of Yah in Scripture" which examined in depth the use of the name Yah.

This article is an update of that article, nine years on to take account of what I have learned in the intervening period as I have sought to walk in these truths.

Something that has become very clear to me is that we GRIEVE the heart of our Father in Heaven when we use the traditional names and that it is only as an act of great mercy and grace on His part that He tolerates our error and still loves us and answers us.

I have also come to understand that the use of the true names brings a much richer understanding of many things, for example, the name you may know as "John the Baptist" should be translated as "Yahoochanan the immerser" and Yahoochanan means "Yah has Graced" which is a prophetic indication that the arrival of Yahooshua would usher in a dispensation of Grace.

I pray that you will find what follows informative and that you will chose to change your use of language to that which is more pleasing to our Father in heaven.

KEY VERSES OF SCRIPTURE:

Exodus 20:7 "Thou shalt not take the name of Yah the eternally self existing (Yahooeh) {the LORD} thy Mighty One {God} in vain; for Yahooeh will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain." (KJV, names adjusted)

Hosea 2:17 "For I will take away the names of Baalim [the LORD] out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name." (KJV)

PRAYER:

Father, in the Name of Yahooshua the Anointed of Nazareth, if there is anything in this document that is not according to Your Word or Your perfect will please prevent it taking root in the heart of the reader and let all that IS according to Your Word and Your Will take deep root in the hearts of all who read it.

The TRUE Names of the Almighty in the bible

Dr James Robertson

Following on the articles on the Name of Yah, Yahweh, etc in Scripture, and particularly the article 1AD.02.01.30 "Yah versus Yahweh" (18 January 2002) which reported that in fact the Father's essential Name is YAH, further analysis of the Scriptures has been undertaken with a view to better understanding how the Name Yah is fundamental to understanding the Scriptures.

In order to do this, a limited analysis has been undertaken to identify words that are readily identified as containing the Name "Yah" or being derived from the Name Yah. This limited analysis has opened up considerable further understanding for the writer and it seemed appropriate to publish this information to the list.

This article is NOT intended to be an in-depth or comprehensive analysis but rather to report that information that is currently to hand.

SOME WORDS USED TO DESCRIBE YAH

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this document is to give English speaking readers who do not have the benefit of in-depth knowledge of Hebrew some fundamental insight into the Names applied to Yah, our Creator and Heavenly Father, in the Hebrew texts.

The principal objective is to give readers a clear understanding of the frequency with which the ESSENTIAL SACRED NAME "YAH" permeates the breadth and depth of Scripture AND the names of His chosen people in a powerful way.

This document also makes certain anomalous translation practices previously reported more graphically visible.

TECHNICAL NOTES

In this document and others that may follow, graphical extracts have been taken from the Interlinear Bible contained in PC Study Bible version 2.1G of October 1997 published by BibleSoft. The form of each entry as presented in the accompanying figures is as follows:

<The first line is the Hebrew text, written RIGHT to left.

<The second line (Yahweh) is the transliterated English.

<The third line is the King James Version English words RIGHT to left.

<The fourth line, in red, is the Strong's number.

<The fifth and sixth lines in small text have been added by the writer to make the name of Yah more visible or to provide other comments - referred to as footnotes.

Where the footnotes are in black this indicates that what is written is more or less directly based on other sources, most frequently the Brown, Driver, Briggs Hebrew Lexicon in the same version of PC Study Bible.

Where the note is followed by one or two question marks (??) this indicates that the writer has a concern about the validity of the interpretation.

In all cases the writer has substituted Yah for Yahweh where the Hebrew appears to contain ONLY Yah and not Yahweh. This is done in accordance with the conclusion published in the article 1AD.02.01.30 "Yah versus Yahweh" (18 January 2002).

Where the footnotes are in blue this indicates an interpretation given by the writer which deviates materially from that given in other sources.

In the case of Yahooshua the footnote is in red because of the significance of this name.

In the transliteration the Name of Yah is variously transliterated as "Yaah", "Y^ah", "yaah" or "y^ah". In most cases this is clearly evident in the transliterated text.

Casual inspection indicates that Yah generally does NOT appear in the English word used and hence the principal objective of this document is to draw the attention of English readers to the PRESENCE OF THE SACRED NAME YAH in many more locations than most have previously been aware of.

In the sections that follow, a number of conventions are applied:

1) The heading for the word comprises:

the transliterated name as it appears in the graphic
in some cases this is followed by the KJV English word or a seemingly appropriate transliteration - this is NOT consistent, the writer has found it difficult to formulate a clear view of what should be used in all cases and time and resources do not currently permit a comprehensive analysis so this information should NOT be regarded as authoritative.
the Strong's number
the writers best estimate of the meaning based on Brown, Driver, Briggs and own interpretation and prayer

2) The transliteration adopted is that given in the graphic although the writer is not entirely certain that this is necessarily the most accurate transliteration. In this regard refer the article 1AD.02.01.01 "Sacred Name of God YHVH, YHWH, Yahveh, Yahweh, Yeshuah, Yashuah, Yehshuah, Yahshuah, Yahushuah, Yahoshua" (9 January 2002).

This makes it apparent that there are widely divergent views as to the "correct" transliteration and that technically speaking there is probably no such thing as a "correct" transliteration. Accordingly, since the PC Study Bible Interlinear makes the Name of Yah clearly apparent it has been adopted in most cases for the purposes of this document since this is NOT the principal objective.

It does, however, seem to the writer that with prayerful consideration it may be possible to adopt anglicizations of the transliterations that are more readily pronounced and remembered. This is not the objective of this document.

3) Occurrence: reports the number of occurrences of each English variation in the "Authorized Version" (AV) which as the writer currently understands it is essentially the same text as the "King James Version". This is provided in order to provide a clear picture of the frequency of occurrence of various translation variations. These statistics are obtained from the Hebrew Lexicon in the OnLine Bible from www.onlinebible.org. In the case of words typically associated with Yah our Creator and Heavenly Father it is instructive to note the number of occurrences of specific words associated with other entities in the context of words that are generally considered to be exclusive to Him.

4) In most cases a sample verse is included to demonstrate application of the word.

5) Strong: is a quote from the Hebrew or Greek dictionary by Strong included in PC Study Bible.

6) Brown, Driver, Briggs or BDB is a quote from the Hebrew dictionary by Brown, Driver and Briggs included in PC Study Bible.

7) Thayer: is a quote from the Greek dictionary by Thayer included in PC Study Bible.

8) Other notes are by the writer.

This document is intended to be primarily a mechanical analysis directed at assisting readers to gain some insight into the linguistic complexities behind the English versions. It is also hoped to make more visible the extent to which in certain cases very different Hebrew words are represented by the same English word and the level of inconsistency that accompanies this.

It is further intended to make visible to readers the extent to which the Name Yah is inherent in every aspect of Scripture and the life of Yah's people.

TECHNICAL CAVEAT

In presenting this document the writer must stress that he has NO material knowledge of Hebrew. The only knowledge is a few hours instruction on the basic principles of transliteration given by an Israeli Jewish friend some years ago.

What is presented herein is a straightforward mechanical analysis based on recognizable patterns in transliteration and supported by the opinions of the Lexicon authors. In a few limited instances the writer HAS expressly prayed over a particular interpretation and sought the guidance of Yah. The entire research and document preparation HAS taken place within a context of considerable prayer and therefore the writer has assurance that the overall content of the document is in accordance with the will of Yah at this time.

WORDS TRANSLATED "GOD"

The following words are all used to refer to Yah in English translations through translation to the word "God" or "GOD" where the capitalization is generally accepted to indicate a reference to our Creator.

These words are discussed in more detail below. Notice the Aramaic word "Alaah" (426) which appears to correspond to the Islamic "Allah".

Elohiym (430) is the word most frequently translated "God" in proper case (first letter capitalized) but is ALSO applied to pagan "god's" as indicated second from right and also to men such as judges, etc, refer article 1AD.02.01.09 "Gods, God or Judges" (11 January 2002). "El" (410) in various forms is also applied to Yah when capitalized as "God" but also applied to other than Yah.

Yahweh (3068) meaning "Yah the eternally self existent One" is the particular extended Name of Yah applied by Yah in His communication's with Israel on many occasions. This is mostly but NOT always translated "GOD" (all capital letters) as discussed subsequently. Elohim or Yahovih (3069) is a scribal device to accommodate the DELIBERATE mispronunciation of Yahweh introduced at some time before the Babylonian exile. Refer article 1AD.02.01.05 "Nazarenes and the Name of Yahweh" (10 January 2002) and other articles which refer to this corruption. Further notes in this document.

Alaah - 426 - God

Notice the correspondence to "Allah" as used in Islam.

Occurrence: AV-God 79, god 16; 95

Not exclusively used for Yah.

Ezra 5:1 "Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God [Alaah] of Israel, even unto them." (KJV)

Strong's 426 'elahh (Aramaic) (el-aw'); corresponding to 433; God: KJV-- God, god.

BDB 426 'elahh (Aramaic)- god, God a) god, heathen deity b) God (used of Israel)

Derived from Elohiym / El / Eloah.

Elohiym - 430 - Mighty Ones (plural)

This word is widely translated "God", however, it actually means "Mighty Ones" (plural) and is used in many other applications. The Sacred Name "Yahweh" is MISPRONOUNCED "Elohiym" in many cases and has been substituted by "Elohiym" in eight locations according to the Institute of Scripture Research.

Yah has indicated that Elohiym has ALSO been substituted for "Yah" the essential Name of our Creator and Heavenly Father in many locations well before the tradition of mispronouncing Yahweh as Elohiym came about and before the substitutions referred to above.

Yah indicates that 80% of all occurrences of Elohiym in the Hebrew texts are in fact substitutions for "Yah"!

Occurrence: AV-God 2346, god 244, judge 5, GOD 1, goddess 2, great 2, mighty 2, angels 1, exceeding 1, God-ward + 04136 1, godly 1; 2606.

Out of 2606 occurrences 259 do NOT refer to Yah.

It is therefore not possible to build any doctrine relating to Yah based exclusively on Elohiym.

Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God [Mighty Ones or Yah?] created the heaven and the earth." (KJV)

Strong 430 'elohiym (el-o-heem'); plural of 433; gods in the ordinary sense; but specifically used (in the plural thus, especially with the article) of the supreme God; occasionally applied by way of deference to magistrates; and sometimes as a superlative: KJV-- angels, X exceeding, God (gods)- dess, -ly), X (very) great, judges, X mighty.

BDB 430 'elohiym- 1) (plural) a) rulers, judges b) divine ones c) angels d) gods 2) (plural intensive -singular meaning) a) God, a god, a goddess b) god-like one c) works or special possessions of God d) the one true God e) God

It is apparent that any verse that uses elohiym CANNOT be used on it's own for any doctrine that is taken to apply to Yah. By implication any verse that uses elohiym can also NOT be taken as evidence that Yahooshua IS Yah.

Yahweh - 3068 - and Yahovih - 3069

Discussed in a subsequent section on page 11.

El - 430 - Mighty One

Essentially it appears that "El" is the preferred description of Yah as Mighty One. However, this form is NOT exclusively applied to Yah.

"El" occurs in numerous words such as "Israel", "Bethel", "Eliyah" (Elijah), "Eliezer", etc apparently generally but NOT always referring to Yah.

Occurrence: AV-God 213, god 16, power 4, mighty 5, goodly 1, great 1, idols 1, Immanuel + 06005 2, might 1, strong 1; 245

Note that out of 245 occurrences, 32 are NOT referring to Yah. Accordingly it is not possible to build any doctrine relating to Yah or Yahooshua based on El alone. This includes debate on whether Yahooshua is Yah or not.

Brown, Driver, Briggs 410 'el- 1) God, God-like One, the Mighty One a) mighty men, men of rank, mighty heroes b) angels c) a god, a false god, (demons, imaginations) d) God, the one true God, Jehovah (Yahweh) 2) mighty things in nature 3) strength, power

Strong 410 'el (ale); shortened from 352; strength; as adjective, mighty; especially the Almighty (but used also of any deity): KJV-- God (god), X goodly, X great, idol, might (-y one), power, strong. Compare names in "-el."

It is not possible to build any doctrine relating exclusively to Yah out of verses which use El.

Eliy (my mighty one) ALSO 410

As used by Yahooshua on the stake before he died in Matthew 27:46-47 "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is, "My Eliy {God}, My Eliy {God}, why have You forsaken Me?" 47 Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, "This Man is calling for Elijah!"" (NKJ)

Notice there is more to the statement "calling for Elijah" once one recognizes that the name of EliYah means effectively "my Eliy is Yah" or "my might is Yah".

This raises the question as to whether the people said "this man is calling for Elijah" or whether they ACTUALLY said, this man is calling for "mighty Yah" (Eliy Yah) - which makes a lot more sense and is FUNDAMENTALLY DIFFERENT! In this regard it is important to note that the use of the Sacred Name was apparently forbidden at the time of Yahooshua's death and that Yahooshua may even have been put to death simply for uttering the Sacred Name. Refer article 1AD.02.01.05 "Nazarenes and the Name of Yahweh" (10 January 2002). Under such circumstances it is quite likely that the bystanders MIGHT have MISTAKEN what Yahooshua said to indicate that Yahooshua was calling on EliYah when in fact he was calling on "mighty Yah" = "El Yah" or "my mighty Yah" = "Eli Yah".

Again we see the vital necessity of understanding the TRUE Names!

The passage in Matthew quotes Psalm 22:1 "My Eliy {God}, My Eliy {God}, why have You forsaken me? Why are You so far from helping me, and from the words of my groaning?" (NKJ, adjusted)

Eliy (410) is distinct from Eli (5941) the High Priest when Samuel entered service to Yah.

Exodus 15:2 "Yahweh is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation; he is my Eliy [= my might / Mighty One], and I will praise Him; my father's Elohiym [= Mighty One], and I will exalt Him." (NKJ)

The first occurrence of "God" is Eliy, the second is "Elohim" (father's mighty one('s)).

Variations: Following are some variations of 410 "El" relating to variations in case, etc which the writer is not conversant with. This provides some indication of the variability of prefixes and suffixes which is inherent in the Hebrew text and how these relate to the English.

It seems clear to the writer that the exact correlation is at best tenuous in some cases. Consider the cases of l^a-'Eel, laa-'Eel and l^a'eel translated "of God", "unto God" and "might" as the fourth, fifth and sixth words from left above. The nuances in the Hebrew in terms of jot's and tittles appears to be very fine to non-existent to the untrained eye. This is NOT to suggest that there is not a difference, only that one needs considerable knowledge and experience to discern the difference and that, accordingly, the potential for transcription error or difference of opinion in translation appears to be significant.

We must come to terms with the reality that the collection of inspired writings traditionally referred to as "The Bible" is extremely large and complex and that the nuances of language recorded up to four thousand years ago are NOT necessarily as evident as one might suppose.

This reinforces the need for us to be led by the set apart (Holy) Spirit of Yah in gaining full understanding of Scripture. It also clearly demonstrates that complex semantic analysis in English based on English words, spelling and capitalization, as encountered in more than one recent article, is largely or entirely futile. We cannot build doctrine solely on English text and we SHOULD NOT enter into divisive dispute based solely on English text.

The need for the Spirit of Yah to guide us and particularly the need for the recognition of the vital role of prophets in restoring doctrine becomes daily more apparent to the writer from this analysis.

Update: I have increasingly come to understand Eli as meaning "my personal mighty one" or a term of endearment when used by Yahooshua in particular.

Adonay - 136 - Lord or Master

Used as a term of respect.

Occurrence: AV-Lord 431, lord 2, God 1; 434

Almost exclusively applied to Yah but NOT exclusively. In 290 instances occurs as "Adonay Yahweh" in conjunction with 3069 (Yahovih), the scribal device referred to subsequently.

Genesis 15:2 "And Abram said, Lord GOD [Adonay Yahweh], what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?" (KJV)

Strong 136 'Adonay (ad-o-noy'); am emphatic form of 113; the Lord (used as a proper name of God only): KJV-- (my) Lord.

BDB 136 'Adonay- 1) my lord, lord a) used of men b) used of God 2) Lord (a title) spoken instead of Yahweh as a Jewish display of reverence

Is "used of men". Notice reference to substitution of Yahweh with Adonay.

Yah - 3050 - The Essential Name of Our Creator and Heavenly Father

The articles 1AD.02.01.01 "Sacred Name of God YHVH YHWH Yahveh Yahweh Yeshuah Yashuah Yehshuah Yahshuah Yahushuah Yahoshua" (9 January 2002); 1AD.02.01.11 "The Name (Yahweh)" (11 January 2002) and 1AD.02.01.26 "Re: REALLY IMPORTANT : Please give me a SIMPLE explanation" (18 January 2002) together with other recent articles and notes to articles posted over the last year provide context to understanding the Sacred Name Yahweh (Yah the eternally self existent One).

The article 1AD.02.01.30 "Yah versus Yahweh" (18 January 2002) explained that "Yah" is the essential Name of our Creator and Heavenly Father and that Yahweh is a specific extension or explanation of His Name. Much of the balance of this document investigates the presence of the sacred Name "Yah" in Scripture.

Occurrence: AV-LORD 48, JAH 1; 49

Also embedded in numerous Hebrew words as discussed in subsequent sections. "Yah" is SURELY the GOLDEN THREAD OF SCRIPTURE!

Variations: The variations encountered are shown below:

Exodus 15:2 "{The LORD} Yah is my strength and song, and He has become my salvation; he is my Mighty One, and I will praise Him; my father's Mighty One, and I will exalt Him." (NKJ)

Psalm 68:4 "Sing to Mighty One, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, by His name YAH, and rejoice before Him." (NKJ)

Song 8:6 "Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is as strong as death, jealousy as cruel as the grave; its flames are flames of fire, a most vehement flame." (NKJ)

Strong 3050 Yahh (yaw); contraction for 3068, and meaning the same; Jah, the sacred name: KJV-- Jah, the Lord, most vehement. Compare names in "-iah," "-jah."

Brown, Driver, Briggs 3050 Yah- Jah (Jehovah (Yahweh) in the shortened form) a) the proper name of the one true God b) used in many compounds: 1) names beginning with the English letters `Je-' 2) names ending with `-iah' or `-jah'

Notice that the above refer to "Yah" as a "contraction" of Yahweh. However, reverence surely dictates that we should not abbreviate the essential Name of our Creator and Heavenly Father and that, given His focus on precision of words, it is unlikely that He would do this.

Yah has clearly indicated to the writer that His ESSENTIAL NAME IS YAH and that all other names BUILD ON that Name as opposed to being SUB-SETS of His True Name.

The Sacred Name Yah occurs in numerous other names and words as examined in some detail later in this article.

Notice also the reference to English words beginning with "Je" and ending with "iah" or "jah". Many of these words are highlighted in the sections that follow.

It also seems anomalous that "Yah" is transliterated as "Jah". This was addressed to some extent in other articles posted earlier in January 2002 on the ETI informal list.

Yahweh - 3068 - "Yah the eternally self existent One"

The most frequently encountered Name applied to Yah in the Scriptures.

Occurrence: AV-LORD 6510, GOD 4, JEHOVAH 4, variant 1; 6519

Used 185 times in the couplet "the LORD God" note capitalization and note the direct contrast with "Adonay Yahweh", "the Lord GOD" above. In one case Yahweh is translated Lord and in the other GOD!

The perversion of expressing the Sacred Name "Yahweh" as "the LORD" occurs 6,510 times in the vast majority of English translations! This is IN ADDITION to the 45 times "Yah" is ALSO translated as "the LORD" and the 1 time that 3069 (Yahovih = scribal device for Yahweh) is also translated "LORD" instead of "GOD"!

This should be considered in the broader context that the word generally translated "Baal", the Phoenician pagan (= demonic) deity could accurately be translated "lord", see below.

Genesis 2:4 "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that Yahweh Elohiym made the earth and the heavens," (KJV)

Strong 3068 Yehovah (yeh-ho-vaw'); from 1961; (the) self-Existent or Eternal; Jehovah, Jewish national name of God: KJV-- Jehovah, the Lord. Compare 3050, 3069.

BDB 3068 Yehovah- Jehovah (Yahweh) "the existing One"; the proper name of the one true God; unpronounced except with the vowel pointings of 0136

Notice that "Yahweh" IS documented in various authoritative works going back a considerable period of time.

Variations: The following variations have been identified:

The above are in part variations in the Hebrew but are ALSO variations in translation, specifically Jehovah and GOD. Notice also the small difference in the Hebrew in the item bottom right (3069) or Yahovih which is discussed in the next section.

Update: Since this article was written I have come to understand that it is more accurate to translate the word referred to Yahweh as Yahooeh but to change this throughout this article is technically impossible because of all the images which contain it.

This again points to the level of error in modern texts.

Yahovih - 3069 - alternative form of Yahweh - Scribal Device

This word, with very minor differences in the Hebrew is used to cater for a very specific set of SCRIBAL AND TRANSLATION circumstances. Yah has indicated to the writer that this is "not a real word, it is a scribal device"!

Occurrences: AV-GOD 304, LORD 1; 305

Genesis 15:2 "And Abram said, Adonay Yahweh, what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?" (KJV)

Strong 3069 Yehovih (yeh-ho-vee'); a variation of 3068 [used after 136, and pronounced by Jews as 430, in order to prevent the repetition of the same sound, since they elsewhere pronounce 3068 as 136]: KJV-- God.

BDB 3069 Yehovih- Jehovah (Yahweh), used primarily in the combination `Lord Jehovah (Yahweh)' equal to 3068 but pointed with the vowels of 0430

Referring to Strong "Yehovih (yeh-ho-vee'); a variation of 3068 [used after 136, and pronounced by Jews as 430, in order to prevent the repetition of the same sound, since they elsewhere pronounce 3068 as 136]:"

136 is Adonay; 430 is Elohiym

In other words - "a variation of Yahweh (3068) (the Sacred Name) [used after Adonay (Lord - 136), and pronounced by Jews as Elohiym (Mighty Ones (pl) - 430), in order to prevent the repetition of the same sound, since they elsewhere pronounced Yahweh (3068) as Adonay (136)]"!

So this is the Sacred Name Yahweh PRONOUNCED as Elohim (Mighty Ones) in order to prevent repetition of Adonay since elsewhere they pronounce Yahweh as Adonay!

In other words, because the Sacred Name Yahweh is elsewhere incorrectly pronounced as "Adonay", they require ANOTHER DEVICE here in order to tell readers to incorrectly pronounce the Sacred Name Yahweh as "Elohiym" and NOT as "Adonay" otherwise in this location they would have to say "Adonay Adonay" INSTEAD OF "Adonay Yahweh".

In light of the writers background in engineering, military and computers the writer has great difficulty in expressing an opinion on this in non-judgmental terms. We are dealing here with the Sacred Name of the Most High Creator of the Heavens and the Earth and our Heavenly Father and yet the Name is arbitrarily substituted with other sounds which happen to be words that in some cases are ALSO applied to demonic deities!!

It seems to the writer that this is a MASSIVE INSULT to Yah and Yah confirms that He views it that way!

Variations:

Note translation variously as GOD and LORD.

Refer also last example "of the Lord GOD of" where 3069 is used in conjunction with Adonay in order to avoid pronouncing 136 3068 as Adonay Adonay since 3068 is traditionally pronounced as 136 Adonay!

Baal - 1166, 1167, 1168, 1169 - lord, master, husband, owner

This word is NOT applied to Yah. However, it has a connotation that IS applied to Yah in English when we substitute words like "Lord" and "master" for Yahweh. This was discussed in some detail in article 1AD.01.10.02 "Why do you say that "the LORD" means "Baal"?" (23 October 2001) and will accordingly NOT be discussed in detail here.

There are a number of Hebrew words all of which are built around the essential Hebrew letters of "baal" these are numbers 1166, 1167, 1168 and 1169 all of which are presented in the graphic at right:

Notice that the first three Hebrew characters from right to left are all recognizably the basic three characters of "baal" with fine nuance. In the case of "ha-B^aaaliym" in the middle of the bottom row the "ha" precedes the "baal".

All of these words have to do with headship, dominion, rulership, etc.

From casual inspection of the above graphic the distinction between the different Strong's numbers appears to be relatively fine, particularly when viewed in light of the definitions that follow. This seems particularly noticeable to the writer who is increasingly becoming aware of what seem to be contrastingly COARSE distinctions made with regard to certain other words which seem to apply primarily to Yah and Yahooshua and which will, Yah willing, be touched on in future articles.

Occurrence:

1166 AV-marry 8, husband 3, dominion 2, wife 1, married wife 1, Beulah 1; 16

1167 AV-man 25, owner 14, husband 11, have 7, master 5, man given 2, adversary 1, archers 1, babbler + 03956 1, bird + 03671 1, captain 1, confederate + 01285 1, misc 12; 82

1168 AV-Baal 62, Baalim 18; 80

1169 AV-chancellor + 02942 3; 3

Brown, Driver Briggs:

1166 ba` al- to marry, to rule over, to possess, to own a) (Qal) 1) to marry, to be lord (husband) over 2) to rule over b) (Niphal) to be married

1167 ba` al- an owner, a husband, a lord a) an owner b) a husband c) citizens, inhabitants d) rulers, lords e) (noun of relationship used to characterize, that is, master of dreams) f) lord (used of foreign gods)

1168 Ba` al- Baal = "lord"; as a proper noun, masculine: 1) the supreme male divinity of the Phoenicians or Canaanites 2) a Reubenite 3) the son of Jehiel and the grandfather of Saul proper noun, location: 4) a town of Simeon, probably identical to Baalath-beer

1169 be` el (Aramaic)- an owner, a lord

Notice repeated reference to "lord".

This should all be read in the context of Yah's words in:

Hosea 2:17 "For I will take away the names of Baalim [Lord] out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name." (KJV, adjusted)

and Jeremiah 23:26-29 "²⁶ How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart; ²⁷Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have forgotten my name for Baal [the Lord]. ²⁸ The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? saith Yahweh {the LORD}. ²⁹ Is not my word like as a fire? saith Yahweh {the LORD}; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?" (KJV, adjusted)

These Scriptures are referring to the heresy of substituting "Adonay" and "Elohiym" for "Yah" and "Yahweh" in the days of Jeremiah and Hosea. They apply just as much today as they did in the time of Jeremiah when Judah went into exile in Babylon, the first Temple was destroyed and the Ark of the Covenant was hidden by Jeremiah until found in the early 1990's.

In fact, these Scriptures apply MORE today since we are under a "new and better covenant" as set out in Hebrews 8:6 "But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises." (KJV)

This covenant was purchased by Yahooshua, the son of Adam (man) on behalf of ALL mankind at a terrible price so that we can ALL have the set apart (holy) Spirit within us to teach us. Refer Hebrews 8:10-11 which quotes Jeremiah 31:33-34 "¹⁰ For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith Yahweh; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a Mighty One, and they shall be to me a people: ¹¹ And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yahweh: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest." (KJV, names adjusted)

James 3:1 states "My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation." (KJV) The New King James and many other versions translate "masters" as "teachers".

Furthermore, as set out in the article 1A1.01.12.02 "Prophetic Strategic SWOT Analysis of the Body of Believers" (24 December 2001) we have access to over 100 English translations, numerous reference books, numerous electronic tools, etc. We are WITHOUT EXCUSE and will be judged accordingly.

We MUST take these scriptures VERY seriously and cease substituting other words for the Sacred Names of Yah and Yahweh!

It must be noted that the writer is still seeking greater understanding surrounding the apparently disparate number of occurrences of Yahweh versus the relatively few occurrences of Yah although Yah is embedded in numerous other words as presented below. Until the writer has clarity on this, where Yahweh occurs in the Hebrew text the adjustment made to the English reflects Yahweh. However, in general writing, the writer is IMPRESSED by the Spirit of Yah to use Yah almost exclusively!

NAMES INCLUDING YAH

As previously stated, there are a large number of names and words in Hebrew that are based on the essential Name "Yah". This section lists a number of words that have been encountered in an initial relatively superficial search together with some basic information about each word.

It is likely that there are more occurrences.

In each case a series of words are displayed from the BibleSoft PC Study Bible version 2.1G Interlinear Bible together with extracts of notes from the Strong's and Brown, Driver, Briggs Hebrew Lexicons. In most cases interpretation is based on Brown, Driver, Briggs which seems to be more aware of the reality of the Sacred Name.

In many cases the writer has substituted "Yah" for "Yahweh" since casual inspection of the Hebrew words and basic transliteration indicates that only the syllable "Yah" is present and NOT "Yahweh". There ARE a few instances of words based on "Yahweh". Where it seems appropriate the writer offers a version of the word that emphasises the existence of "Yah".

In the first stage of the analysis words adjacent to Yah (3050) were examined. It was found that Jedaiah or JedaYah (3048) appeared to be the first word which included "Yah" in that number range. It was then found that most of the words through to 3116 started with Yah or were perceived by Brown, Driver and Briggs to be based on "Yahweh" which the writer took to be "Yah" unless expressly otherwise noted.

It is STRESSED that what follows is NOT intended to be definitive, particularly anglicizations by the writer are approximations that, unless expressly indicated as given by Yah MAY be in error.

Note also that the examples in the graphics have been randomly selected and included prefixes and suffixes applicable to the particular instance from which they were selected. It is not the writer's intention to examine these or explain them since currently the writer has no material knowledge in this context. The principal objective is to DEMONSTRATE graphically the extent to which letter patterns corresponding to "Yah" occur and draw on available resources to offer interpretation where possible.

Ezra 5:1, a portion of which is displayed to the right of this paragraph, gives an indication of the extent to which the Name of Yah occurs in a fashion that has not been visible to most English speaking readers.

Notice the presence of "Yah" as either "yaah" or "Y^ah" in 2148 Zechariah (Z^akaryaah), 3061 Judah (Y^ahuwd) and 3062 Jews (Y^ahuwdaayee).

The sections that follow provide data with regard to specific words together with graphical representation of the Interlinear text.

Yaah - 3050 - Yah

The essential Name of our Creator transliterated here as "Yaah". Discussed above.

Y^ada'yaah - 3048 - Jedaiah (JedaYah) - Yah has known

Occurrence: AV-Jedaiah 11; 11

BDB 3048 Yekda` yah- Jedaiah = "Jehovah (Yahweh) has known"; 1) a priest in Jerusalem 2) a man who returned with Zerubbabel 3) a ruler of the priests in the days of Jeshua 4) a post exilic priest 5) one honored by Jehovah (Yahweh), perhaps one of the above

Yahab - 3051

Sorts numerically after Yah, not sure it relates specifically to Yah always seems to be transliterated haabuw therefore ignored in this analysis.

mity^aheeb - Yaheeb - 3052 - deliver, provide, give

Occurrence: AV-give 21, given + 01934 2, delivered 1, laid 1, paid 1, prolonged 1, yielded 1; 28

Strong 3052 yehab (Aramaic) (yeh-hab'); corresponding to 3051; -deliver, give, lay, + prolong, pay, yield.

BDB 3052 yehab (Aramaic)- to give, to provide a) (P'al) 1) to give 2) to place, to lay (foundations) b) (Hithp'al) 1) to be given 2) to be paid

There seems to be some conceptual correlation with Yah as our provider.

y^ahaab^akaa - yahab - 3053 - burden, lot, given by Providence (= Yah)

Occurrence: AV-burden 1; 1

Psalm 55:22 "Cast thy burden upon Yahweh, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." (KJV)

Strong 3053 yehab (ye-hawb'); from 3051; properly, what is given (by Providence), i.e. a lot: KJV-- burden.

BDB 3053 yehab- a burden, a lot (what is given)

There appears to be some correlation between Yah being our provider in the context of "providence" in particular and also relates to "lot's" being from Yah and prophetic "burdens" being from Yah.

mityahadiym - yahad - 3054 - become a Yahuwdite (Jew)

Occurrence AV-became Jews 1; 1

Esther 8:17 "And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews [Yahudiym] had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews [Yahudiym] fell upon them." (KJV)

Strong 3054 yahad (yaw-had'); denominative from a form corresponding to 3061; to Judaize, i.e. become Jewish: KJV-- become Jews.

wi-Yahud - Yahud - 3055 - beauty

Occurrence AV-Jehud 1; 1

1 Chronicles 2:47 "And the sons of Jahdai; Regem, and Jotham, and Geshan, and Pelet, and Ephah, and Shaaph." (KJV)

Strong 3056 Yehday (yeh-dah'-ee); perhaps from a form corresponding to 3061; Judaistic; Jehdai, an Israelite: KJV-- Jehdai.

BDB 3056 Yehday- Jahdai "whom he will place" one of the family of Caleb

Y^ahudiyaah - Yahudiyah - 3057 - feminine of Yahuwdiy (a Jewess)

Occurrence AV-Jehudijah 1; 1

1 Chronicles 4:18 "And his wife Jehudijah bare Jered the father of Gedor, and Heber the father of Socho, and Jekuthiel the father of Zanoah. And these are the sons of Bithiah the daughter of Pharaoh, which Mered took." (KJV)

BDB 3057 Yehudiyah- as an adjective, feminine: 1) the Jewess or as a proper noun, feminine: (CLBL) Jehudijah = "Jewess"; 2) a Calebite, the wife of one named Ezra

Yeehuw - Yahuw - 3058 - Yah is He

The transliteration "Yeeh" does not appear to correlate with the transliteration "Yah" or "Yaah" for the surrounding words with what appears to be the same Hebrew letters.

Occurrence AV-Jehu 58; 58

1 Kings 16:1 "Then the word of Yahweh came to Jehu the son of Hanani against Baasha, saying," (KJV, adjusted)

Strong 3058 Yehuw' (yay-hoo'); from 3068 and 193 l; Jehovah (is) He; Jehu, the name of five Israelites: KJV-- Jehu.

BDB 3058 Yehuw'- Jehu = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is He"; 1) the king of the northern kingdom Israel who overthrew the dynasty of Omri 2) son of Hanani and an Israelite prophet in the time of Baasha and Jehoshaphat 3) the Antothite, a Benjamite, one of David's mighty warriors 4) a descendant of Judah of the house of Hezron 5) son of Josibiah and a chief of the tribe of Simeon

Y^ahow'aachaaz - Yahow'achaz - 3059 Yah has seized

Occurrence AV-Jehoahaz 20; 20

2 Kings 10:35 "And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead." (KJV)

Strong 3059 Yehow'achaz (yeh-ho-aw-khawz'); from 3068 and 270; Jehovah-seized; Jehoachaz, the name of three Israelites: KJV-- Jehoahaz. Compare 3099.

Y^ahow'aash - Yahow'ash - 3060 - given by Yah

Occurrence AV-Jehoash 17; 17

2 Kings 11:21 "Seven years old was Jehoash when he began to reign." (KJV)

Strong 3060 Yehow'ash (yeh-ho-awsh'); from 3068 and (perhaps) 784; Jehovah-fired; Jehoash, the name of two Israelite kings: KJV-- Jehoash. Compare 3101.

BDB 3060 Yehow'ash- Jehoash = "given by the Lord"; 1) a son of king Ahaziah and the 8th king of Judah 2) a son of king Jehoahaz and the 12th king of the northern kingdom of Israel

Y^ahuwd - Yahuwd - 3061 - the territory of Yahuwdaah - Judea

Occurrence AV-Judah 5, Judea 1, Jewry 1; 7

Ezra 5:1 "Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel, even unto them." (KJV)

BDB 3063 Yehuwdah- Judah = "praised"; 1) the son of Jacob by Leah 2) the tribe descended from Judah the son of Jacob 3) the territory occupied by the tribe of Judah 4) the kingdom comprised of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin which occupied the southern part of Canaan after the nation split upon the death of Solomon 5) a Levite in Ezra's time 6) an overseer of Jerusalem in the time of Nehemiah 7) a Levite musician in the time of Nehemiah 8) a priest in the time of Nehemiah

Y^ahuwdiym - Yahuwdiym - 3064 - descendants of Yahuwdaah - Jews

It is important to understand that the people we call Jews in fact have a name that includes the essential Name of our Creator and Heavenly Father. Accordingly, when one uses "Jew" as a sware word or when one curses the "Jews", one is in fact speaking against Yah and His people.

Occurrence AV-Jew 74, Jew + 0376 1, Judah 1; 76

2 Kings 16:6 "At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews [Yahuwdiym] from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto this day." (KJV)

Strong 3064 Yehuwdiy (yeh-hoo-dee'); patronymically from 3063; a Jehudite (i.e. Judaite or Jew), or descendant of Jehudah (i.e. Judah): KJV-- Jew.

Y^ahuwdiy - Yahuwdiy - 3065 - a descendant of Yahuwdaah - Jehudi

Occurrence AV-Jehudi 4; 4

Jeremiah 36:14 "Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi [Yahuwdiy] the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine hand the roll wherein thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came unto them." (KJV)

Strong 3065 Yehuwdiy (yeh-hoo-dee'); the same as 3064; Jehudi, an Israelite: -Jehudi.

BDB 3065 Yehuwdiy- Jehudi = "Jew"; a son of Nethaniah and servant of king Jehoiakim

Y^ahuwdiyt - Yahuwdiyt - 3066 - the language of the Yahuwdiym

Occurrence AV-Jews' language 5, Jews' speech 1; 6

2 Kings 18:26 "Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews' language [Yahuwdiyt] in the ears of the people that are on the wall." (KJV)

Strong 3066 Yehuwdiyth (yeh-hoo-deeth'); feminine of 3064; the Jewish (used adverbially) language: KJV-- in the Jews' language.

BDB 3066 Yehuwdiyth- in the Jewish language, in Hebrew

Y^ahuwdiyt - Yahuwdiyt - 3068 - feminine of Yahuwdiy - Judith

Occurrence AV-Judith 1; 1

Genesis 26:34 "And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith [Yahuwdiyt] the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:" (KJV)

Interesting that a Hittite woman was named "Judith" / "Yahuwdiyt", a name containing the essential Name of Almighty Yah. Note that Esau was the son of Isaac and therefore they were not YET the people of Israel and certainly not the people of Yahuwdaah (Judah). By implication the name, INCLUDING YAH, PREDATES "Jewess" and suggests that the Hittites ALSO knew Yah which is to be expected since all descended from Noah.

This suggests that the following lexicon entries which include the word "Jewess" have not accurately distilled the essence of the name.

Note also that the spelling of the name is almost identical to the previous word for "Jews language".

Strong 3067 Yehuwdiyth (yeh-ho-deeth'); the same as 3066; Jewess; Jehudith, a Canaanitess: KJV-- Judith.

BDB 3067 Yehuwdiyth- Judith = "Jewess" or "praised"; the daughter of Beeri the Hittite and wife of Esau

Yahweh - 3068 - Yah the eternally self existent One

Occurrence AV-LORD 6510, GOD 4, JEHOVAH 4, variant 1; 6519

Discussed on page 11.

Yahovih - Yahweh - 3069 - Scribal device for 3068

Occurrence AV-GOD 304, LORD 1; 305

Discussed on page 12.

This is a scribal device, NOT a separate word. Used to assist with deliberate mispronunciation of the Name of Yah Most High.

Yahweh-yir'eh - 3070 - Yahweh provides

Occurrence AV-Jehovahjireh 1; 1

Genesis 22:14 "And Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh provides [Yahweh-yir'eh]: as it is said to this day, In the mount of Yahweh it shall be seen [provided]." (KJV, adjusted)

Strong 3070 Yehovah Yir'eh (yeh-ho-vaw' yir-eh'); from 3068 and 7200; Jehovah will see (to it); Jehovah-Jireh, a symbolical name for Mount Moriah: KJV-- Jehovahjireh.

BDB 3070 Yehovah yireh- Jehovah-jireh = "Jehovah (Yahweh) sees"; symbolic name given by Abraham to Mount Moriah in commemoration of the interposition of the Angel of Jehovah (Yahweh) who prevented the sacrifice of Isaac and provided a substitute

Many other versions translate this as Yahweh provides, for example, in the New American Standard Genesis 22:14 "And Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Will Provide, as it is said to this day, "In the mount of the Yahweh it will be provided."" (NAS, adjusted)

Accordingly this is reflected as Yahweh provides.

Yahweh-Nicciy - 3071 - Yahweh is my banner

Occurrence AV-Jehovahnissi 1; 1

Exodus 17:15 "And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Yahweh is my banner [Yahweh-nicciy]:" (KJV, adjusted)

Strong 3071 Yehovah Nicciy (yeh-ho-vaw' nis-see'); from 3068 and 5251 with the prononimal suffix; Jehovah (is) my banner; Jehovah-Nissi, a symbolical name of an altar in the Desert: KJV-- Jehovah-nissi.

BDB 3071 Yehovah nicciy- Jehovah-nissi = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is my banner"; the name given by Moses to the altar which he built in commemoration of the discomfiture of the Amalekites

Yahweh Tsidqeenuw - 3068-3072 - Yahweh is our righteousness

Occurrence AV-LORD our Righteousness 2; 2

Jeremiah 23:6 "In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, YAHWEH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." (KJV)

Strong 3072 Yehovah Tsidqenuw (ye-ho-vaw' tsid-kay'-noo); from 3068 and 6664 with pronominal suffix; Jehovah (is) our right; Jehovah-Tsidkenu, a symbolical epithet of the Messiah and of Jerusalem: KJV-- the Lord our righteousness.

BDB 3072 Yehovah tsidqenuw- Jehovah (Yahweh) is our righteousness a sacred name symbolically applied to Jerusalem and the Messiah

Important to note the express statement that Yah (Yahweh) is our righteousness. This is challenging in the context of Scriptures like Romans 8:22 and 26 and 5:17 and 21 and 1 Corinthians 1:30 which are widely interpreted as indicating that "Jesus Christ is our righteousness" or "Yahooshua Messiah is our righteousness".

1 Corinthians 1:30 "But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:" (KJV)

This relates to the discussion regarding the exact meaning of "Christ" which has been touched on in various articles and which will, Yah willing, shortly be discussed in detail. However, in the context of this particular statement that Yahweh is our righteousness it seems worth touching on.

Recently the writer has taken to frequently interpreting "Christ" in terms of "anointed one", "anointing", etc all of which relate to the anointing of the set apart Spirit of Yah. On this basis the above verse becomes:

"But of him are ye in the anointing [of the set apart Spirit of Yah] of Yahooshua, who of Yah is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:"

As long as we interpret "Christ" in this passage as "the anointing of the set apart Spirit of Yah" then it is YAH who is our righteousness, NOT Yahooshua! In this case there is no conflict between the statements relating to the anointing of Yahooshua and statements that Yah or Yahweh is our righteousness.

Yahweh-Shalowm - 3073 - Yahweh is peace

Occurrence AV-Jehovahshalom 1; 1

Judges 6:24 "Then Gideon built an altar there unto the LORD, and called it Yahweh-shalowm [Yahweh is peace]: unto this day it is yet in Ophrah of the Abi-ezrites." (KJV)

Strong 3073 Yehavah Shalowm (yeh-ho-vaw' shaw-lome'); from 3068 and 7965; Jehovah (is) peace; Jehovah-Shalom, a symbolical name of an altar in Palestine: -Jehovah-shalom.

BDB 3073 Yehavah shalowm- Jehovah-shalom = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is peace"; the name of a sacred altar built by Gideon in Ophrah

Yahweh shammah - 3074 - Yahweh is there

Occurrence AV-The Lord is there 1; 1

Not found in the PC Study Bible which lists 8033 as shammah separated from Yahweh by "is" inserted by the translators in the "King James Version". The OnLine Bible lists 3074 in the "Authorized Version".

However, 3074 IS listed in the Lexicon's in the PC Study Bible.

There ARE many instances of 8033 shammah NOT in conjunction with Yahweh, it appears that there is one special case which is treated differently in the two software packages.

Strong 3074 Yehovah Shammah (yeh-ho-vaw' shawm'-maw); from 3068 and 8033 with directive enclitic; Jehovah (is) thither; Jehovah-Shammah, a symbolic title of Jerusalem: KJV-- Jehovah-shammah.

BDB 3074 Yehovah shammah- Jehovah-shammah = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is there"; a symbolic name for Jerusalem

Y^ahowzabad - Yahowzabad - 3075 - Yah has endowed

Occurrence AV-Jehozabad 4; 4

2 Kings 12:21 "For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead." (KJV)

Strong 3075 Yehowzabad (yeh-ho-zaw-bawd'); from 3068 and 2064; Jehovah-endowed; Jehozabad, the name of three Israelites: KJV-- Jehozabad. Compare 3107.

BDB 3075 Yehowzabad- Jehozabad = "Jehovah (Yahweh) has endowed"; 1) son of Shomer, a Moabitish woman, who murdered Joash, king of Judah 2) a Benjamite, captain of 180,000 armed men, in the days of Jehoshaphat 3) a Korhite Levite, second son of Obededom, and one of the porters of the Temple and of the storehouse there in the time of David

Y^ahowchaanaan - Yahowchanan - 3076 - Yah has graced

Occurrence AV-Jehohanan 6, Johanan 3; 9

Notice two renderings for nominally the same word.

BDB 3077 Yehowyada`- Jehoiada = "Jehovah (Yahweh) knows"; 1) the father of Benaiah, David's mighty warrior 2) the leader of the priests who joined David at Hebron 3) a high priest at the time of Athaliah's usurpation of the throne of Judah; hid Joash, the king's son, for six years and eventually replaced him on the throne of Judah 4) the second priest, or sagan, to Seraiah the high priest

Strong 3078 Yehowyakiyn (yeh-ho-yaw-keen'); from 3068 and 3559; Jehovah will establish; Jehojakin, a Jewish king: KJV-- Jehoiachin. Compare 3112.

Occurrence AV-Jehoiakim 37; 37

2 Kings 23:34 "And Pharaoh-nechoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and turned his name to Jehoiakim, and took Jehoahaz away: and he came to Egypt, and died there." (KJV)

Interesting that Pharaoh-nechoh gave him a name that included "Yah" and meant "Yah raises up".

Strong 3079 Yehowyaqiym (yeh-ho-yaw-keem'); from 3068 abbreviated and 6965; Jehovah will raise; Jehojakim, a Jewish king: KJV-- Jehoiakim. Compare 3113.

Strong 3082 Yehownadab (yeh-ho-naw-dawb'); from 3068 and 5068; Jehovah-largessed; Jehonadab, the name of an Israelite and of an Arab: KJV-- Jehonadab, Jonadab. Compare 3122.

BDB 3082 Yehownadab- Jehonadab = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is willing"; 1) a son of Rechab, chief of the Rechabites, in the time of Jehu and Ahab 2) a nephew of David

Y^ahownaataan - Yahownathan - 3083 - Yah has given

Occurrence AV-Jonathan 79, Jehonathan 3; 82

Note two different representations of nominally the same word.

1 Samuel 14:6 "And Jonathan said to the young man that bare his armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrison of these uncircumcised: it may be that Yahweh will work for us: for there is no restraint to Yahweh to save by many or by few." (KJV)

Strong 3083 Yehownathan (yeh-ho-naw-thawn'); from 3068 and 5414; Jehovah-given; Jehonathan, the name of four Israelites: KJV-- Jonathan. Compare 3129.

1 Chronicles 6:14 "And Azariah begat Seraiah, and Seraiah begat Jehozadak," (KJV)

Strong 3087 Yehowtsadaq (yeh-ho-tsaw-dawk'); from 3068 and 6663; Jehovah-righted; Jehotsadak, an Israelite: KJV-- Jehozadek, Josedech. Compare 3136.

BDB 3087 Yehowtsadaq- Jehozadak or Josedech = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is righteous"; the grandson of the high priest Hilkiah; son of the high priest Seraiah; and father of the high priest Joshua; he never attained the office of high priest himself because he was carried captive to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar

Strong 3088 Yehowram (yeh-ho-rawm'); from 3068 and 7311; Jehovah-raised; Jehoram, the name of a Syrian and of three Israelites: KJV-- Jehoram, Joram. Compare 3141.

BDB 3088 Yehowram- Jehoram or Joram = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is exalted"; 1) the son of king Jehoshaphat of Judah and himself king of Judah for 8 years; his wife was the wicked Athaliah who was probably the instigator for his returning the nation of Judah to the worship of Baal 2) the son of king Ahab of the northern kingdom of Israel and king of Israel himself for 12 years; he was murdered by Jehu on the plot of land for which his father had murdered Naboth thus fulfilling the prophecy of Elijah to the very letter 3) a priest in the reign of Jehoshaphat

Y^ahowsheba - Yahowsheba - 3089 - Yah has sworn

Occurrence AV-Jehosheba 1; 1

2 Kings 11:2 "But Jehosheba, the daughter of king Joram, sister of Ahaziah, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons which were slain; and they hid him, even him and his nurse, in the bedchamber from Athaliah, so that he was not slain." (KJV)

Strong 3089 Yehowsheba` (yeh-ho-sheh'-bah); from 3068 and 7650; Jehovah-sworn; Jehosheba, an Israelitess: KJV-- Jehosheba. Compare 3090.

BDB 3089 Yehowsheba`- Jehosheba = "Jehovah (Yahweh) has sworn"; daughter of king Joram of Judah and wife of the high priest Jehoiada alternate spelling `Jehoshabeath', 3090

Y^ahowshab`at - Yahowshab`ath - 3090 - Yah is an oath

Occurrence AV-Jehoshabeath 2; 2

2 Chronicles 22:11 "But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not." (KJV)

This is exactly the same person as 3089 above, this time reported in Chronicles. In other words the writers of Kings and Chronicles were NOT exactly certain of the spelling of her name. Therefore we can conclude that it IS possible that there will be other discrepancies between Kings and Chronicles and that these two Scriptures were NOT given by Yah in the form of letter and word perfect dictation as tradition suggests.

Strong 3090 Yehowshab` ath (yeh-ho-shab-ath'); a form of 3089; Jehoshabath, an Israelitess: KJV-- Jehoshabeath.

BDB 3090 Yehowshab` ath- Jehoshabeath = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is an oath"; the daughter of king Joram of Judah and wife of the high priest Jehoiada alternate spelling `Jehosheba, 3089

This is interpreted "Yah is an oath" whereas the previous version of the SAME NAME FOR THE SAME PERSON is given as "Yah has sworn". There is NOT absolute certainty on these matters.

Y^ahowshua - Yahooshua - 3091 - Yah is salvation

Occurrence AV-Joshua 218; 218

Exodus 17:9 "And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of Mighty One {Elohiym} Yah in mine hand." (KJV)

This is an example of a verse where substituting "Mighty One" for "Elohiym" does not make sense, let alone substituting "Mighty Ones". Yah states "obviously that should read 'rod of Yah'!" (Yah's words).

Strong 3091 Yehowshuwa` (yeh-ho-shoo'-ah); or Yehowshu` a (yeh-ho-shoo'-ah); from 3068 and 3467; Jehovah-saved; Jehoshua (i.e. Joshua), the Jewish leader: -Jehoshua, Jehoshuah, Joshua. Compare 1954, 3442.

Refer also 3442 which is suggested as being essentially the same name.

BDB 3091 Yehowshuwa` or Yehowshu` a- Joshua or Jehoshua = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is salvation"; as a proper noun, masculine: 1) a son of Nun of the tribe of Ephraim and successor to Moses as the leader of the children of Israel; led the conquest of Canaan 2) a resident of Beth-shemesh on whose land the Ark of the Covenant came to a stop after the Philistines returned it 3) a son of Jehozadak and high priest after the restoration 4) the governor of Jerusalem under king Josiah who gave his name to a gate of the city of Jerusalem

This particular name has presented the writer with an ENORMOUS CHALLENGE on two fronts.

Firstly since becoming aware that the Name of "Jesus" was in fact Yahooshua, the writer has steadfastly wanted to believe that the Name "Yahooshua" was NOT the same as the name of "Joshua". The writer has also studiously avoided asking Yah about this.

However, during the process of extracting these names and other data it became apparent that the name traditionally translated "Joshua" in the books traditionally referred to as the "Old Testament" was EXACTLY THE SAME NAME given to the man we all know as "Jesus".

In other words, Yahooshua, our saviour, DID NOT HAVE A UNIQUE NAME, he had the SAME name that had been given to thousands of other believers through the ages!!

On going before Yah on this matter the writer was told "obviously Yahooshua could NOT have been given an exclusive name. It would have attracted too much attention to him and made life for Joseph and Mary totally unbearable!" (Yah's words)

Secondly, up to now the writer has been firmly persuaded that the Name Yahooshua meant "the salvation of Yah". However, having confronted the first point it was then necessary to confront the second, that is, that the Name "Yahooshua" means "YAH IS SALVATION"! In other words, Yahooshua, through his Name, POINTED US TOWARD YAH as our salvation NOT himself!

This confronts a whole spectrum of issues.

CONCLUSION:

The man we have known as "Jesus" was actually called "Yahooshua" and that is the SAME name as the man who led Israel into Canaan and that occurs 218 times in the books we traditionally refer to as "the old testament" AND that name means "Yah is Salvation" NOT "Salvation of Yah"!

This is confirmed by the following Scriptures:

Psalm 106:21 "They forgat Yah El their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;"

Isaiah 43:3 "For I am Yahweh thy Mighty One, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee."

Isaiah 43:11 "I, even I, am Yahweh; and beside me there is no saviour."

Isaiah 45:15 "Verily thou art a Mighty One that hidest thyself, O Mighty One of Israel, the Saviour."

Isaiah 45:21 "Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I Yahweh? and there is no Mighty One else beside me; a just Mighty One and a Saviour; there is none beside me."

Isaiah 45:17 "But Israel shall be saved in Yahweh with an everlasting salvation: ye shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end."

Isaiah 49:26 "And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I Yahweh am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob."

Isaiah 60:16 "Thou shalt also suck the milk of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the breast of kings: and thou shalt know that I Yahweh am thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob."

Isaiah 63:8 "For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he [Yah] was their Saviour."

Jeremiah 14:8 "O the hope of Israel, the saviour thereof in time of trouble, why shouldest thou be as a stranger in the land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth aside to tarry for a night?"

Hosea 13:4 "Yet I am Yahweh thy Mighty One from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me."

All Scriptures from the KJV with Names adjusted

It is clearly apparent that Yah is the ONLY saviour. This must be reconciled with our understanding of who exactly Yahooshua the anointed of Yah is and what exactly he accomplished on our behalf through his life and death!

Y^ahowshaapaaT - Yahowshaphat - 3092 - Yah has judged

Occurrence AV-Jehoshaphat 84; 84

2 Samuel 8:16 "And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder;" (KJV)

Strong 3092 Yehowshaphat (yeh-ho-shaw-fawt'); from 3068 and 8199; Jehovah-judged; Jehoshaphat, the name of six Israelites; also of a valley near Jerusalem: -Jehoshaphat. Compare 3146.

BDB 3092 Yehowshaphat- Jehoshaphat = "Jehovah (Yahweh) has judged"; as a proper noun, masculine: 1) a son of king Asa and himself king of Judah for 25 years; one of the best, most pious, and prosperous kings of Judah 2) a son of Nimshi and father of king Jehu of the northern kingdom of Israel 3) a son of Ahilud and chronicler under David and Solomon 4) a son of Paruah and one of the 12 commissary officers under Solomon 5) a priest and trumpeter in the time of David

as a proper noun, location: 6) symbolical name of a valley near Jerusalem which is the place of ultimate judgment; maybe the deep ravine which separates Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives through which the Kidron Creek flowed

yahiyr - 3093 - haughty

Occurrence AV-haughty 1, proud 1; 2

Proverbs 21:24 "Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath." (KJV)

Strong 3093 yahiyr (yaw-here'); probably from the same as 2022; elated; hence, arrogant: KJV-- haughty, proud.

BDB 3093 yahiyr- proud, arrogant, haughty

NOTE THE CLOSENESS TO THE NAME OF YAH - no wonder Yah hates pride - it is elevating ourselves to His level!!

Y^ahalel'eel - Yahalel'eel - 3094 - Yah my might is praised

Occurrence AV-Jehaleleel 1, Jehalelel 1; 2

1 Chronicles 4:16 "And the sons of Jehaleleel; Ziph, and Ziphah, Tiria, and Asareel." (KJV)

Strong 3094 Yehallel'el (yeh-hal-lel-ale'); from 1984 and 410; praising God; Jehallelel, the name of two Israelites: KJV-- Jehalellel, Jehalelel.

BDB 3094 Yehallel'el- Jehaleleel or Jehalelel = "God is praised"; 1) a Calebite descendant of Judah 2) father of Azariah and a Merarite Levite in the time of Hezekiah

"Mighty One is praised" or "praising Mighty One" does not make much sense when the word begins with a form of "Yah". This is not congruent. After prayer the interpretation "Yah my might is praised" was given.

yaahalom - 3095 - a diamond

Occurrence AV-diamond 3; 3

Exodus 28:18 "And the second row shall be an emerald, a sapphire, and a diamond." (KJV)

Strong 3095 yahalom (yah-hal-ome'); from 1986 (in the sense of hardness); a precious stone, probably onyx: KJV-- diamond.

BDB 3095 yahalom- a precious stone (known for its hardness); perhaps the jasper, onyx, or diamond

It seems significant that the word for a diamond is ALSO derived from the Name of Yah - note the characteristics, it is intensely pure, transparent, beautiful but ALSO intensely hard and will burn with intense heat if ignited - it seems to me that this in a material sense describes Yah!!

However, the Hebrew transliterated Yaah does not appear to be that close to that transliterated Yah! This seems strange since it is in numerical sequence which, until now, had been assumed to be more or less alphabetic based on the Hebrew. In light of other instances of similar words with different numbers it seems that the numbering is probably LESS systematic than assumed. Given the magnitude of the task of cataloguing all this information manually at the time it was first done it is not unreasonable for there to be inconsistencies. This observation simply demonstrates that it is unwise to make assumptions about things of this nature!

Yaahatsaah - Yahtsah - 3096 - Yah has trodden down?

Occurrence AV-Jahaz 5, Jahazah 3, Jahzah 1; 9

Numbers 21:23 "And Sihon would not suffer Israel to pass through his border: but Sihon gathered all his people together, and went out against Israel into the wilderness: and he came to Jahaz, and fought against Israel." (KJV)

Strong 3096 Yahats (yah'-hats; or Yahtsah (yah'-tsaw; or (feminine) Yahtsah (yah-tsaw'); from an unused root meaning to stamp; perhaps threshing-floor; Jahats or Jahtsah, a place East of the Jordan: KJV-- Jahaz, Jahazah, Jahzah.

BDB 3096 Yahats or Yahtsah or (fem.) Yahtsah- Jahaz or Jahazah or Jahzah = "trodden down"; a place in Reuben east of the Dead Sea where Israel defeated Sihon king of the Amorites; the site is uncertain.

In this case the Hebrew seems fairly close relative to Yah, Yah has trodden down seems to fit the place and what happened there.

Yow'aab - Joab - 3097 - Yah is father?

Occurrence AV-Joab 145; 145

1 Samuel 26:6 "Then answered David and said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother to Joab, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul to the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with thee." (KJV)

Strong 3097 Yow'ab (yo-awb'); from 3068 and 1; Jehovah-fathered; Joab, the name of three Israelites: KJV-- Joab.

BDB 3097 Yow'ab- Joab = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is father"; 1) son of David's sister Zeruiah and general of David's army 2) a Judaite descendant of Kenaz 3) a post-exilic family

Yah is father seems an unlikely name?

Yow'aach - Joah - 3098 - Yah is brother?

Occurrence AV-Joah 11; 11

2 Kings 18:18 "And when they had called to the king, there came out to them Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, which was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder." (KJV)

Strong 3098 Yow'ach (yo-awkh'); from 3068 and 251; Jehovah-brothered; Joach, the name of four Israelites: KJV-- Joah.

BDB 3098 Yow'ach- Joah = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is brother"; 1) son of Asaph and chronicler to Hezekiah 2) a Gershonite son or grandson of Zimmah 3) a Korhite, third son of Obed-edom and doorkeeper in the time of David 4) a son of Joahaz and chronicler to king Josiah

Yah is brother seems to be a very familiar name? Alternatively the relationship of Yah's people to Yah in the days when names like these were formulated was MUCH CLOSER than most people want to believe! (Yah says "that is so").

Yow'aachaaz - 3099 - Yah has grasped?

Occurrence AV-Jehoahaz 3, Joahaz 1; 4

2 Kings 14:1 "In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel reigned Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah." (KJV)

Strong 3099 Yow'achaz (yo-aw-khawz'); a form of 3059; Joachaz, the name of two Israelites: KJV-- Jehoahaz, Joahaz.

BDB 3099 Yow'achaz- Joahaz or Jehoahaz = "Jehovah (Yahweh) has grasped"; the father of Joah, Josiah's chronicler

It seems difficult for an untrained reader to recognize Yah in this Hebrew word.

Yow'eel - Joel - 3100 - Yah is Mighty One (El)

Occurrence AV-Joel 19; 19

1 Samuel 8:2 "Now the name of his firstborn was Joel; and the name of his second, Abiah: they were judges in Beersheba." (KJV)

Strong 3100 Yow'el (yo-ale'); from 3068 and 410; Jehovah (is his) God; Joel, the name of twelve Israelites: KJV-- Joel.

BDB 3100 Yow'el- Joel = "Jehovah (Yahweh) is God"; 1) a son of Pethuel and the second of the 12 minor prophets with a book by his name; probably prophesied in the time of king Uzziah of Judah 2) the oldest son of Samuel the prophet and father of Heman the singer 3) a Simeonite chief 4) a Reubenite 5) a chief of Gad 6) a son of Izrahiah and a chief of Issachar 7) a brother of Nathan of Zobah and one of David's mighty warriors 8) a son of Pedaiah and a chief of the half-tribe of Manasseh west of the Jordan River in the time of David 9) a son of Nebo who returned with Ezra and had a foreign wife 10) a Benjamite, son of Zichri 11) a Levite 12) a Kohathite Levite in the reign of Hezekiah 13) a Gershonite Levite chief in the time of David 14) a Gershonite Levite, son of Jehiel and a descendant of Laadan; maybe the same as meaning no. 13

"Yah is God" is actually "Yah is El", in other words "Yah is Mighty One".

Yah is not easily recognized in this word suggesting that the traditional meaning of the word goes beyond the exact spelling of Yah being embedded in the word.

Yow'aash - Joash - 3101 - given by Yah

Occurrence AV-Joash 47; 47

Judges 6:11 "And there came an angel of Yahweh, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abi-ezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites." (KJV, names adjusted)

Strong 3101 Yow'ash (yo-awsh'); or Yo'ash (2 Chron. 24:1) (yo-awsh'); a form of 3060; Joash, the name of six Israelites: KJV-- Joash.

BDB 3101 Yow'ash or Yo'ash (2 Chron. 24:1)- Joash = "given by the Lord"; 1) a son of king Ahaziah and the 8th king of Judah 2) a son of king Jehoahaz and the 12th king of the northern kingdom of Israel 3) the father of Gideon 4) a son of king Ahab 5) a descendant of Shelah the son of Judah; either the son of Shelah or the son of Jokim 6) a son of Shemaah of Gibeah who resorted to David at Ziklag

FURTHER WORDS WHICH REFER TO YAH

There are a number of additional words which Brown, Driver, Briggs indicate refer to Yah. However the Hebrew connection is not apparent to the writer and there is a discontinuity in Strong's numbering which seems puzzling IF there IS continuity of reference.

The writer has subsequently concluded that there is NO continuity of reference.

3102 to 3106 make no reference to Yah

Yowzabad - 3107 - Yah has endowed

Occurrence AV-Jozabad 9, Josabad 1; 10

BDB 3107 Yowzabad- Jozabad or Josabad = "Jehovah (Yahweh) has endowed"; 1) a Korhite Levite, second son of Obededom, and one of the porters of the Temple and of the storehouse there in the time of David 2) one of David's mighty warriors 3) another of David's mighty warriors 4) four other priests or Levites

Yowzakar - 3108 - Yah remembers

Occurrence AV-Jozachar 1; 1

Does not occur in the King James Version in PC Study Bible, DOES occur in 2 Kings 12:21 in the OnLine Bible. PC Study Bible has 3107 in this verse spelt as 3108! A further instance of small discrepancies indicative of differing human interpretations which must cause us to turn to Yah for guidance!

BDB 3108 Yowzakar- Jozachar = "Jehovah (Yahweh) remembers"; a servant of king Joash of Judah and one of his murderers; also called `Zabad'

Yowchaa - 3109 - Yah gives life

Occurrence AV-Joha 2; 2

1 Chronicles 8:16 "And Michael, and Ispah, and Joha, the sons of Beriah;" (KJV)

Strong 3109 Yowcha' (yo-khaw'); probably from 3068 and a variation of 2421; Jehovah-revived; Jocha, the name of two Israelites: KJV-- Joha.

BDB 3109 Yowcha'- Joha = "Jehovah (Yahweh) gives life"; 1) one of the sons of Beriah the Benjamite 2) the Tizite, one of David's mighty warriors

Yowchaanaan - Johanan - 3110 - Yah has graced

Occurrence AV-Johanan 24; 24

2 Kings 25:23 "And when all the captains of the armies, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, there came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Careah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite, and Jaazaniah the son of a Maachathite, they and their men." (KJV)

Strong 3110 Yowchanan (yo-khaw-nawn'); a form of 3076; Jochanan, the name of nine Israelites: KJV-- Johanan. ***. Yuwtah. See 3194.

Occurrence AV-Joiada 4, Jehoiada 1; 5

Strong 3111 Yowyada` (yo-yaw-daw'); a form of 3077; Jojada, the name of two Israelites: KJV-- Jehoiada, Joiada.

Abdb 3111 Yowyada`- Joiada or Jehoiada = "Jehovah (Yahweh) knows"; 1) a son of Paseah, who assisted to repair the old gate of Jerusalem 2) a son of the high priest Eliashib in the time of Nehemiah

YowyaAkiyn - Jehoiachin - 3112 Yah establishes

Occurrences AV-Jehoiachin 1; 1

Ezekial 1:2 "In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity," (KJV)

Strong 3112 Yowyakiyn (yo-yaw-keen'); a form of 3078; Jojakin, an Israelite king: -Jehoiachin.

BDB 3112 Yowyakiyn- Jehoiachin = "Jehovah (Yahweh) establishes"; king of Judah, son of Jehoiakim, and the next to last king of Judah before the Babylonian captivity. His kingship lasted for 3 months and 10 days before he surrendered to Nebuchadnezzar who took him to Babylon and imprisoned him for 36 years, when he was finally released.

Note reference to 3078 alternate spelling again suggesting that there is human error in the original texts in terms of specific precision at the letter level. Both refer to exactly the same man - refer to notes above and for 3078. Both have exactly the same interpretation, Yah establishes.

The 3112 reference is from Ezekial, all other references are from Kings, Chronicles and Jeremiah. Since Ezekial was in captivity with Jehoiachin it would seem probable that his record of the spelling is more likely to be correct. Either way, one or other record is presumably incorrect.

Yowyaaqiym - Joiakim - 3113 - Yah raises up

Occurrence AV-Joiakim 4; 4

Nehhemiah 12:10 "And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib, and Eliashib begat Joiada," (KJV)

Miykaay^ahuw - Micah - 4319 - who is like Yah

ADDITIONAL WORDS WHICH RELATE TO YAH

In progressively documenting findings it became apparent that there were far more words including Yah than had at first appeared.

Time does not permit further detailed extraction such as that presented in this article thus far. Accordingly, further limited coarse extraction has been undertaken for reference purposes. This is presented in the appendices and serves to further demonstrate the great extent to which the Name of our Creator and Heavenly Father permeates every facet of Scripture and the history of His chosen people.

It is hoped that after considering this article readers will have a far better understanding of why the true Sacred Names are so important and an increasing revelation of the Sacred Scriptures!

CLOSURE

It is hoped that the above article will challenge you and assist you in your walk with Yah.

It is hoped that this article will open a whole new dimension to you regarding the extent to which the Name of Yah permeates Scripture.

It is also hoped that this article will also sensitise readers to the reality that there IS scribal adjustment and human error in the texts of the Inspired Writings that we have today, PARTICULARLY the Greek and English translations.

Yah willing these aspects will be developed further in subsequent articles.

Father, in the Name of Yahooshua may all that is according to Your Will and Your Word in this article find deep root in the hearts of the readers and if there is anything that is not of You let it find no root at all.

It is our prayer ¹⁷ that the Mighty One of our Adonai Yahooshua the anointed one, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, ¹⁸ the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints [set apart ones], ¹⁹ and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power ²⁰ which He worked in Yahooshua when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, ²¹ far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. ²² And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the Body, ²³ which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. (Ephesians 1:17-23)

May Yah bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you. In the name of Yahooshua the anointed one, King of kings and Adonai of lords. Amen.

2007.10.01 What is the origin and the purpose of man? -- creation versus evolution

This document started out with a vague idea of where i was headed in terms of solid evidence in support of the thesis that there is a creator.

A key requirement was NOT to use "The Bible says"

As i wrote and researched i gained more insight into what i thought was important.

Older Articles -- Prior to 2009

The Articles above this were mostly written from 2009 onwards after I had undergone a period of testing and refining during which I wrote almost nothing

My understanding of many issues increased during this period and my degree of comfort with some of the more challenging revelations also increased

In the latter part of 2010 I undertook seven three day fasts specifically seeking to hear Yah, be set apart and cleansed of all defilement and to die with Yahooshua that Yah might live through me by His Spirit

From then on I have written a significant number of articles most of which I have a high level of certainty regarding fundamental accuracy

The articles at http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.org/Articlesto2009.aspx

were mostly written many years before 2009 with a few exceptions

Most were written between 2000 and 2003 with the majority following a series of eight three day fasts during which I started to receive dramatic revelations that radically changed my understanding of just about every aspect of what I thought I knew about the Creator, who until then I had known as God and The LORD and about the prophet Yahooshua who, until then I had known as Jesus and believed at some level to be a manifestation of the Creator in human form

All of that was changed during this period so there are many important messages

However, because I was learning rapidly and having most of what I knew turned on its head many of these messages DO contain error, some a lot, some a little

As with the later messages there was a material level of anointing and guidance by Yah most of the time

Time does NOT permit me to load all these older articles now but you might like to visit the page referenced above and see what else you find relating to the Bible

A few articles are listed below in the form of links to Adobe pdf documents on this website

The links below are currently NOT working, either go to the "Articles to 2009" page using the link above or Google the exact text string below

1AD.07.01.01 Understanding the Difficult Words of Jesus [Yahooshua]

1AD.06.07.04 Why Do Men Put The Words Of Men Above The Bible?

1AD.06.07.01 Read The Book Without Man's Interpretation

1AD.06.01.02 The Scribes contributed to 2 Thessalonians 2

1AD.05.09.05 Do you receive the manna every day?

1AD.05.07.08 WHY aren't we HATED??

1AD.05.07.07b The Anointing and Prayer Does NOT Guarantee Infallibility

Conclusion -- The Bible is NOT what is claimed for it

I hope that by the time you have reviewed this webpage you will be fully convinced that the Bible is of limited value and that you should seek a deep personal relationship with Yah instead

If you are wondering what to read instead of the Bible there are hundreds of articles on this website many of which have been written under a significant anointing with significant guidance from Yah

When I asked Him what I should read instead of the Bible He told me to read my own writings so, while there are considerable volumes of other material out there, IF you are looking for a place to start the Articles Category page at http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.org/Articles/ArticleListingbyCategory.aspx

You will also find many articles through the Article Tag Cloud -- the key word listing in the right hand side bar

Also visit the main Articles page at http://www.end-time-issue-ministries.org/Articles.aspx for a listing of Articles in reverse sequence of publication

You could also visit the page with Articles prior to 2009 referred to above but I would suggest starting with the Articles from 2009 onwards

This site is growing

As the site grows we from time to time add blocks of new pages which may NOT contain content for a while -- please accept my apologies for the inconvenience, you may find the information you require elsewhere on the site, alternatively email me for the information you are seeking

Note that words in curly brackets {} are words that although they are in common use are inaccurate in terms of the matters of the Almighty and should therefore be avoided

The Almighty Creator, Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, says: "It is time to choose -- will you be my friend, or my foe? -- there is NO middle ground!"

Yah says further:

"Ultimately THE AIM of this entire experiment is to find those who will make the sacrifices necessary to become My FRIENDS -- NOTHING is more important"

...

"A friend is one who is concerned about the well-being of the one they call friend and desires to treat that person as they would be treated -- HOW do you choose to treat Me?"

…

"True friendship is about what you can GIVE -- NOT what you can GET! -- what are YOU prepared to give Me (Yah)?"

…

"A true friend seeks to know ALL truth about the one whom they call friend AND to help others to know that truth -- Do YOU know the truth about me? Do YOU care?"

…

"In this age I (Yah) am MASSIVELY CONSTRAINED by the 'Rules of Engagement' in terms of what I can say and do EXCEPT through those true friends and true servants who will do the necessary work to KNOW my will AND proclaim it AND action it"

…

"There is NO greater love than that a man should lay down his life for his friend! -- Will YOU lay down your life for Me?"

…

"Technically a martyr is one who lays down their life for Me, NOT necessarily in physical death but also by sacrificing their comfort and well being in favour of doing MY will -- will you do ALL that it takes to serve Me and love Me as your friend, NO MATTER what it costs you? -- Will you be a martyr for Me by your way of living?"

…

"My true friends take time to spend quality time with Me daily and communicate with Me and consult Me constantly"

…

"Why Believe?
"Because if you do NOT you WILL find that when you die you are forced to serve and worship Satan for ever or at least until the day the winner of the 'The Contest' is adjudicated"

…

"Realize that serving Satan after you die could be a really HORRIBLE experience, particularly IF you regard yourself as a GOOD person!"

…

"Imagine what it will be like as an ancestor spirit (demon) knowing the truth about the lies you believed and watching your loved ones making the same mistakes and believing the same lies that you believed and being unable to do anything about it!"

…

"Imagine what it will be like when you discover that you are irrevocably locked into the same dispensation that is behind the most barbaric and savage cultures on earth"

…

"IF you are a 'GOOD' person: when you die you may find yourself secretly hoping that Satan WILL lose 'The Contest' so that you can be cast into the Lake of Fire and utterly consumed in a moment of torment and terror, rather than being a participant in the progressive degradation of the human race into utter depravity, barbarism and perversion! -- and yet you will be POWERLESS to do anything about it!"

…

"The consequences of dying without a PROFOUND realization of my (Yah's) existence AND a DEEP life changing decision to serve Me is too ghastly to contemplate IF you take the trouble to REALLY understand the truth about the world you live in!"

…

"Imagine what it will be like to be a demon (ancestor spirit) riding on your favourite grandchild and watching them participate in the same empty rituals and mouthing the same meaningless platitudes that you practised during your life and being UNABLE to warn them of the terrible destiny that they are locking themselves into!"

…

"A person who reaches the end of their life as my TRUE FRIEND, one who has progressed from 'Wise Steward', to 'Good and Faithful Servant', to 'Overcomer' and ultimately to 'Friend' will receive rewards and authority of unimaginable splendour including a high throne, status and apparel that is far beyond anything that even the most powerful rulers on earth have ever dreamed of, let alone experienced -- contrast this with the other extreme -- an angry and depraved ancestor spirit (demon) desperately seeking favour in a kingdom where favour is a lesser level of torment and the right to exercise greater control and depravity over those less inclined to serve Satan and his Masterminds wholeheartedly"

…

"Do YOU REALLY want to be part of a kingdom where the tortured murder of infants is regarded as one of the highest privileges of rank?"

…

"The evidence is ALL around you IF you have eyes to see -- the choice is CLEAR -- a Kingdom of beauty, love (chesed) and benign power or a kingdom of atrocities and perversion, a kingdom that regards torture and tormented and protracted death of human sacrifices followed by cannibalism, preferably while the victim still lives, as the HIGHEST form of worship?"

…

"It is TIME for those who still have some smattering of knowledge of me and my ways to STOP playing games with Satan and start taking back this earth while there is STILL TIME -- it is time for believers to STOP marrying unbelievers and allowing their children to marry unbelievers,, it is TIME to STOP marrying those from Satan worshipping cultures, and to STOP welcoming them into your homes, your cities and your lands -- it is time to STOP acceding to Satanic demands that you cast ME (The Almighty) out of your schools, your halls of Government and your workplaces -- it is TIME to publicly open the day with worship and prayer to me, whether in your places of education, your places of Government or your places of work -- it is TIME to cast out those who will NOT comply instead of being cast out and secretively serving me behind locked doors and, IF you CANNOT set apart that place of learning, or government or work then EXIT PUBLICLY and DECLARE your reasons and gather together with those who WILL agree with you in these matters for it is so that in the spirit one TRUE believer FREE OF SIN can put 1,000 to flight and two can put 10,000 to flight and the power of TRUE BELIEVERS who choose to deal with ALL their sin and live in ALL truth is such that massive transformation IS possible -- note the impact of Noah, Abraham, Moshe {Moses}, Yahooshua {Jesus}, Mohammed and Luther -- YOU TOO can bring about RADICAL reformation and renaissance IF you will lay down your life and seek DEEP and ENDURING FRIENDSHIP with Me!"

…

"IF you believe, it is TIME to assess exactly WHAT you believe about me and then ACT accordingly!"

…

"IF you do NOT believe, it is time to assess EXACTLY what you DO believe and then act accordingly!"

…

"There is NO place for fence sitters -- YOU are either FOR me or by default you are AGAINST ME!"

…

"Know this -- IF you choose to be a TRUE friend, which means you deal with ALL sin and ALL error and do ALL that is required to ensure that your house is FULLY united behind you the forces of darkness CANNOT TOUCH YOU -- BUT, IF you play games and continue to dabble in your favourite sins and errors in your divided house the forces of darkness will TEAR you limb from limb and UTTERLY destroy you -- there has NEVER been a time in all the history of man on earth where life above sin and total unity of your house has been more important!"

…

"IF you choose to serve ME (Yah), understand that you are choosing a VERY strait and VERY narrow path leading to a VERY small door -- gird your loins and FOLLOW the example of the mighty set-apart ones of previous generations!"

Footnote: ALL the above references to "friend" relate to people like you and me seeking to become true friends of Yah, the Almighty Creator

WHY Believe in the Almighty Creator and seek relationship with Him

IF YOU do NOT believe that the Almighty Creator exists and therefore do NOT have a personal relationship with Him you face a terrible fate when you COULD be blessed for eternity

The Creator has said regarding YOU "why would I want someone to spend eternity with me when they do NOT believe I exist?”

Please go immediately to the WHY Believe page and give careful consideration to what is presented there

IF you have a DEEP inner conviction of the reality of the Creator, in other words you claim to be a "believer", but you do NOT have a deep personal relationship with Him such that He speaks to you clearly and regularly and you seek His guidance in every area of your life then He has said of you “why would I want someone to be close to me in Heaven, which inherently means I will give them great authority, if they do NOT have a deep personal relationship with me and have NOT proven to me that they can be trusted?”

Please go immediately to the Relationship with Yah page

Third Party Articles and Articles you do NOT agree with

Most articles on this site are classified with a reference number comprising the year, the month and a sequence number within the month, thus 2013.12.03 is the third article published in December 2013

Most detailed webpages are organized with the most recent articles at the top and the Article List displays with the most recent articles at the top. Searches on the articles list in the same way

Because I am constantly learning, newer articles will almost certainly be an elaboration or refinement of earlier articles and in some cases may significantly revise what I said in earlier articles, in most cases the later article is likely to be more accurate than earlier articles

In ALL cases Father Yah forbids me to go back and edit or correct articles, He wants YOU to have a close personal relationship with Him and therefore to turn to Him for clarification where things that I write contradict or appear to contradict one another

The articles from 2009 onwards are generally much more reliable than those earlier but there are important articles from the earlier days as well, in particular, the articles written in 2000 onwards were written during a period when my understanding was being radically changed on a very intense basis and when I was also getting closer to the Almighty at a very rapid rate

Accordingly the early articles should be given appropriate prayer, particularly if the later articles contradict or appear to contradict what is written in the early articles

That said Father Yah has said that there is much of value in the earlier articles and that they should, accordingly, remain on the site

Third Party Articles

This site includes some articles from third parties

In such cases Father Yah forbids me to censor, edit or correct such articles but requires me to present them in their entirety with little or no comment, as with the previous point He requires YOU to research and pray and reach your own conclusion regarding what is truth

Inclusion of third party articles does NOT indicate any form of endorsement of the person who wrote the article other than that it is my understanding that the article contains information of importance. Such inclusion also does NOT imply any endorsement of this ministry by the person whose work is cited

It is up to each one of us to discern the truth for ourselves See the article on Seek Truth NOT Error for more information

Content you do NOT agree with

It is probable that you will find material on this site that you do NOT agree with, there is much that is highly controversial, click HERE for an article that proposes a way of responding to such differences

See also article -- Getting close to Yah -- Appropriate prayer and fasting are VITAL -- the answer to doctrinal differences

About names, words, etc

The majority of visitors to this site will encounter names and words they are NOT familiar with

It is a harsh reality that the true Name of the Almighty Creator of the Heavens and the Earth whose true Name is "Yah the eternally self-existing" has been concealed as have all the important names, laws, commandments, principles and concepts

What is taught by the "Christian" church is almost entirely incorrect as is the case with EVERY religion

This website seeks to present these truths for your prayerful consideration and adoption -- see the prayers elsewhere in this side bar for more information on what to pray

Key names and words that are used throughout this site and which are fundamentally important are:

The true Name of the Almighty Creator is "Yah the eternally self-existing", frequently translated as "Yahweh", more accurately "Yahooeh"

The name of the man commonly known as "Jesus" is "Yahooshua" meaning "Yah is salvation"

The commonly used names of "God", "The LORD", "Christ", "Jesus" are ALL of pagan, that is Satanic origin and the Almighty has only responded to these names as an act of Grace, this Grace has now been withdrawn

Important prayers for ALL, for those who have not previously believed and for those who have believed but are now convicted of sin and error

IF you believe that the Almighty Creator exists then take note that He has said of YOU “why would I want someone to be close to me in Heaven, which inherently means I will give them great authority, if they do NOT have a deep personal relationship with me and have NOT proven to me that they can be trusted?”

IF you believe that the Almighty Creator DOES exist the following are amongst the most important prayers you can pray

Note that the true name of the Almighty Creator is "Yah the eternally self-existing" NOT "The LORD" or "God"

Father Yah, I ask you to help me to overcome to the end that I may be found to be a "good and faithful servant" on the Day of Judgment

Father Yah I ask you to show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it

Father Yah I ask you to help me to draw MUCH closer to you and to know your will and to do it

Father Yah I ask you to fill me with your Spirit and lead me into ALL truth by your Spirit

Father Yah I give you my life to do with as YOU see fit

Father Yah I ask you to bring the people that YOU want into my life and to take the people that you do NOT want in my life out

Father Yah I ask you to open the doors in my life that YOU want open and to close the doors in my life that YOU want closed

Father Yah I ask you to judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly

There are many other prayers that you can pray but these are amongst the most important

The turnaround prophets of history are Noah, Moshe, Yahooshua, Mohammed and Luther -- we need to understand their role to understand the world today

The True Religion of the Almighty Creator, Yah, is a synthesis of, and bracketed by, Judaism, Christianity and Islam

Christianity has from the outset compromized with paganism and almost every doctrine of Christianity is fatally corrupt and does NOT define the Creator
