This section continues with the collection of items relating to Yahooshua 

Yahooshua is WAITING for his enemies to be made his footstool 

There is a major error in widespread circulation, that is that Yahooshua is going to return and sort out the mess on earth

On the contrary, Yahooshua is waiting for US to gain authority over the forces of darkness and prepare a way for Yahooshua to return 

What IS special about Yahooshua?

The spirit that was placed in the man Yahooshua was the first created spirit being and worked as an assistant to Yah throughout the Creative process

As such he was fully informed about the situation on earth and the contest and was able to live a life without sin

He was born of a virgin so that there were NO bloodline curses operating on him, this also enabled him to live free of sin

By doing this he set an example ("the way")

He died without sinning and death therefore had NO hold on him and so he was resurrected and gained authority over the forces of darkness which he subsequently delegated to those who follow him

As the first born from the dead he holds the highest rank in Heaven as king of all  human kings and lord of all human lords

Yahooshua will return once the true message has been preached to ALL the earth

Before Yahooshua can return to earth the true message of Yah's laws and kingdoms must be preached, that is made available, to ALL the earth

This is a key purpose of this website -- to make information available in order to comply with this requirement

The Church put Yahooshua to Death

The formal groupings of people who today regard themselves as "the church" are committing the same sins as the formal believers at the time of Yahooshua

Remember that "church" is an inaccurate translation of "assembly"

Thus the assembly of believers in the time of Yahooshua, the church, put Yahooshua to death

Yah says that IF Yahooshua were to live today the church would again oppose him and put him to death

Authority IN the Name of Yahooshua

Because of Yahooshua's sinless life and his resulting status in heaven he was given authority over the forces of darkness BUT he immediately delegated this to those who follow his example

This authority allows believers to bind and cast out demons, cut curses and various other activities that restrict or reverse the measures that the forces of darkness apply in attempting to destroy believers and win the contest  

LIMITATIONS in the Name of Yahooshua

The name of Yahooshua is relevant in combating the forces of darkness, it is NOT relevant in general prayer ONCE one has a relationship with Yah and it is NOT relevant in worshipping or praising Yah

The Blood of the Covenant

The blood of the covenant is simply a symbol of the covenant and only has any efficacy as a legal representation and reminder of the covenant, it has NO magical properties

Who Yahooshua is NOT

Yahooshua is NOT Yah, or Yah in the flesh, the Spirit of Yah ON and IN Yahooshua, the anointing {Christ} enabled Yah to speak through Yahooshua, cast out demons and perform miracles

Old Testament versus New Testament

In Yah's view there is NO such thing as "Old Testament" and "New Testament"

Yah's covenant with mankind through Yahooshua was just one of many covenant Yah has entered into with various groups at different level

There is a smooth progression of history before Yahooshua, during the life of Yahooshua and after the death of Yahooshau 

To track time in terms of "pre-Yahooshua" and "post-Yahooshua" or "Old Testament" and "New Testament" is erroneous and attaches a significance to Yahooshua that is NOT appropriate

On what day was Yahooshua born?

Yah ALWAYS works according to His set-apart {holy] days

Yahooshua was born on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles and circumcised on the Great Day of the Feast

Those who followed Yahooshua did NOT know Torah

The people who followed Yahooshua were, for the most part, NOT learned and did NOT know the "Torah" intimately

They followed Yahooshua because they recognized the anointing of the Spirit of Yah on him and were drawn to him

Yah wants RELATIONSHIP with us, NOT academic learning of some collection of writings by human beings

Greater Works than Yahooshua did

We are called to do greater works than Yahooshua did

In order to do this we must realize that we CAN do this

Decide that you want it

Pray to be able to do it

Get on and do what you need to do to come to a place where you can live your life free of sin and walk in the fullness of the authority that is available to you

There is NO Trinity

There is only ONE place in the bible that refers to "in the Name of the Father, and the son and the Holy Spirit"

That does NOT evidence a "Trinity"

Yah is ONE Mighty one and we are commanded to worship him only

Trinity is a pagan, that is Satanic, concept and should be avoided entirely

It is sin to think, teach or act in terms of a Trinity and Yahooshua must be downplayed to a relevant practical level

Yahooshua is NOT the ONLY way

Many believe that it is NOT possible to come to belief in Yah EXCEPT through Yahooshua

The name Yahooshua means "Yah is salvation"

It is NOT possible to come to Yah except through Yah's salvation 

BUT it is possible to receive Yah's salvation through direct personal realization of the existence of Yah without knowlege of Yahooshua, the man

It IS easier to come to Yah and clean up your act through Yahooshua

But millions of Muslims have relationships with Yah WITHOUT the name of Yahooshua

There are others who come to relationship with Yah WITHOUT the name of Yahooshua

And the whole concept of Yahooshua {Jesus} is so corrupt today that most people who preach and teach about Yahooshua are in error at some major level

While much of the world celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ on the 25th of December, can the actual day of Jesus' birth be determined from scripture? This question will be explored in some detail, and will yield a result that is quite intriguing. The first passage we will consider begins with the father of John the Baptist, Zacharias:

Luke 1:5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judaea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the course of Abia: and his wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

Luke 1:8 And it came to pass, that while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course, ...

Luke 1:23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Luke 1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, ...

The clue given to us here is that Zacharias was of the "course" of Abia.

The 24 Courses of the Temple Priesthood.

7. But David, being desirous of ordaining his son king of all the people, called together their rulers to Jerusalem, with the priests and the Levites; and having first numbered the Levites, he found them to be thirty-eight thousand, from thirty years old to fifty; out of which he appointed twenty-three thousand to take care of the building of the temple, and out of the same, six thousand to be judges of the people and scribes, four thousand for porters to the house of God, and as many for singers, to sing to the instruments which David had prepared, as we have said already. He divided them also into courses: and when he had separated the priests from them, he found of these priests twenty-four courses, sixteen of the house of Eleazar, and eight of that of Ithamar; and he ordained that one course should minister to God eight days, from sabbath to sabbath. And thus were the courses distributed by lot, in the presence of David, and Zadok and Abiathar the high priests, and of all the rulers; and that course which came up first was written down as the first, and accordingly the second, and so on to the twenty-fourth; and this partition hath remained to this day. — Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, Book 7, Chapter 14, Paragraph 7.

King David on God's instructions (1 Chr 28:11-13) had divided the sons of Eleazar and Ithamar, the sons of Aaron, into 24 groups (1 Chr 24:1-4), to setup a schedule by which the Temple of the Lord could be staffed with priests (Kohanim) all year round in an orderly manner. After the 24 groups of priests were established, lots were drawn to determine the sequence in which each group would serve in the Temple. (1 Chr 24: 7-19). That sequence is as follows:

The 24 courses of priests

1 Chr 24:7	1. Jehoiarib	2. Jedaiah
1 Chr 24:8	3. Harim	4. Seorim
1 Chr 24:9	5. Malchijah	6. Mijamin
1 Chr 24:10	7. Hakkoz	8. Abijah
1 Chr 24:11	9. Jeshuah	10. Shecaniah
1 Chr 24:12	11. Eliashib	12. Jakim
1 Chr 24:13	13. Huppah	14. Jeshebeab
1 Chr 24:14	15. Bilgah	16. Immer
1 Chr 24:15	17. Hezir	18. Aphses
1 Chr 24:16	19. Pethahiah	20. Jehezekel
1 Chr 24:17	21. Jachim	22. Gamul
1 Chr 24:18	23. Delaiah	24. Maaziah

1 Chr 24:19 These were the orderings of them in their service to come into the house of the LORD, according to their manner, under Aaron their father, as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.

Now each one of the 24 "courses" of priests would begin and end their service in the Temple on the Sabbath, a tour of duty being for one week (2 Chr 23:8, 1 Chr 9:25). On three occasions during the year, all the men of Israel were required to travel to Jerusalem for festivals of the Lord, so on those occasions all the priests would be needed in the Temple to accommodate the many sacrifices offered by the crowds. Those three festivals were Unleavened Bread, Pentecost, and Tabernacles (Deut 16:16).

The Yearly Cycle of Service in the Temple.

The Jewish calendar begins in the spring, during the month of Nisan (Est 3:7), so the first "course" of priests, would be that of the family of Jehoiarib, who would serve for the first week of Nisan, Sabbath to Sabbath. The second week would then be the responsibility of the family of Jedaiah. The third week would be the feast of Unleavened Bread, and all priests would be present for service. Then the schedule would resume with the third course of priests, the family of Harim. By this plan, when the 24th course was completed, the general cycle of courses would repeat. This schedule would cover 51 weeks or 357 days, enough for the lunar Jewish calendar (about 354 days). So, in a period of a year, each group of priests would serve in the Temple twice on their scheduled course, in addition to the 3 major festivals, for a total of about five weeks of duty.

The Conception of John the Baptist.

Now back to Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist.

Luke 1:23 And it came to pass, that, as soon as the days of his ministration were accomplished, he departed to his own house.
Luke 1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, ...

Beginning with the first month, Nisan, in the spring (March-April), the schedule of the priest's courses would result with Zacharias serving during the 10th week of the year. This is because he was a member of the course of Abia (Abijah), the 8th course, and both the Feast of Unleavened Bread(15-21 Nisan) and Pentecost (6 Sivan) would have occurred before his scheduled duty. This places Zacharias' administration in the Temple as beginning on the second Sabbath of the third month, Sivan (May-June).

	1st Month	2nd Month	3rd Month
	Abib - Nisan (March - April)	Zif - Iyyar (April - May)	Sivan (May - June)
First Week	Jehoiarib (1)	Seorim (4)	All Priests (Pentecost)
Second Week	Jedaiah (2)	Malchijah (5)	Abijah(8)
Third Week	All Priests (Feast of Unleavened Bread)	Mijamin (6)	Jeshuah (9)
Fourth Week	Harim (3)	Hakkoz (7)	Shecaniah (10)

Having completed his Temple service on the third Sabbath of Sivan, Zacharias returned home and soon conceived his son John. So John the Baptist was probably conceived shortly after the third Sabbath of the month of Sivan.

The Conception of Jesus Christ.

Now the reason that the information about John is important, is because according to Luke, Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit in the sixth month of Elisabeth's pregnancy:

Luke 1:24 And after those days his wife Elisabeth conceived, and hid herself five months, saying,
Luke 1:25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days wherein he looked on me, to take away my reproach among men.
Luke 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
Luke 1:27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

Note that verse 26 above refers to the sixth month of Elisabeth's pregnancy, not Elul, the sixth month of the Hebrew calendar, and this is made plain by the context of verse 24 and again in verse 36:

Luke 1:36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.

Mary stayed with Elizabeth for the last 3 months of her pregnancy, until the time that John was born.

Luke 1:56 And Mary abode with her about three months, and returned to her own house.
Luke 1:57 Now Elisabeth's full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son.

Now working from the information about John's conception late in the third month, Sivan, and advancing six months, we arrive late in the 9th month of Kislev (Nov-Dec) for the time frame for the conception of Jesus. It is notable here that the first day of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, the Festival of Lights, is celebrated on the 25th day of Kislev, and Jesus is called the light of the world (John 8:12, 9:5, 12:46). This does not appear to be a mere coincidence. In the book of John, Hanukkah is called the feast of dedication (John 10:22). Hanukkah is an eight day festival of rejoicing, celebrating deliverance from enemies by the relighting of the menorah in the rededicated Temple, which according to the story, stayed lit miraculously for eight days on only one day's supply of oil.

The Birth of John the Baptist.

Based on a conception shortly after the third Sabbath of the month of Sivan, projecting forward an average term of about 10 lunar months (40 weeks), we arrive in the month of Nisan. It would appear that John the Baptist may have been born in the middle of the month, which would coincide with Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread. It is interesting to note, that even today, it is customary for the Jews to set out a special goblet of wine during the Passover Seder meal, in anticipation of the arrival of Elijah that week, which is based on the prophecy of Malachi:

Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

Jesus identified John as the "Elijah" that the Jews had expected:

Mat 17:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
Mat 17:11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
Mat 17:12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
Mat 17:13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

The angel that appeared to Zacharias in the temple also indicated that John would be the expected "Elias":

Luke 1:17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.

So then, the Feast of Unleavened Bread begins on the 15th day of the 1st month, Nisan, and this is a likely date for the birth of John the Baptist, the expected "Elijah".

The Birth of Jesus Christ.

Since Jesus was conceived six months after John the Baptist, and we have established a likely date for John's birth, we need only move six months farther down the Jewish calendar to arrive at a likely date for the birth of Jesus. From the 15th day of the 1st month, Nisan, we go to the 15th day of the 7th month, Tishri. And what do we find on that date? It is the festival of Tabernacles! The 15th day of Tishri begins the third and last festival of the year to which all the men of Israel were to gather in Jerusalem for Temple services. (Lev 23:34)

Immanuel.

Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Immanuel means "God with us". The Son of God had come to dwell with, or tabernacle on earth with His people.

John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot), occurs five days after the Day of Atonement, and is a festival of rejoicing and celebration of deliverance from slavery in Egypt (Leviticus 23:42-43).

Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
Luke 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
Luke 2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
Luke 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Why was there no room at the inn? Bethlehem is only about 5 miles from Jerusalem, and all the men of Israel had come to attend the festival of Tabernacles as required by the law of Moses. Every room for miles around Jerusalem would have been already taken by pilgrims, so all that Mary and Joseph could find for shelter was a stable. During Tabernacles, everyone was to live in temporary booths (Sukkot), as a memorial to Israel's pilgrimage out of Egypt - Lev. 23:42-43. The birth of the Savior, in what amounted to a temporary dwelling rather than a house, signaled the coming deliverance of God's people from slavery to sin, and their departing for the promised land, which is symbolized by Tabernacles.

Also of note is the fact that the Feast of Tabernacles is an eight day feast (Lev 23:36, 39). Why eight days? It may be because an infant was dedicated to God by performing circumcision on the eighth day after birth:

Luke 2:21 And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

So the infant Jesus would have been circumcised on the eighth and last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, a Sabbath day. The Jews today consider this a separate festival from Tabernacles, and they call it Shemini Atzeret.

The Baptism of Jesus - The Time is Fulfilled

There is another indication in scripture as to when Jesus was born.

Mark 1:9 And it came to pass in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized of John in Jordan. 
Mark 1:10 And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him: 
Mark 1:11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 
Mark 1:12 And immediately the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness. 
Mark 1:13 And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted of Satan; and was with the wild beasts
Mark 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, 
Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

Jesus said The time is fulfilled just after His baptism, upon emerging from 40 days in the wilderness. He then began His preaching ministry, Luke tells us at about the age of 30.

Luke 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.
Luke 3:23 And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, ...

The book of Daniel gives us the "time" or prophecy Jesus was speaking about:

DANIEL'S 70 WEEKS

Dan 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem (457 B.C.) unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks (69 weeks / 483 years, 27 A.D.): the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Dan 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks (69 weeks) shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
Dan 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week (31 A.D.) he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, (be crucified) ...

It is evident that by understanding this prophecy, and knowing the date of the decree when Daniel's 70 weeks began (Ezra 7, 457 B.C.), the wise men knew exactly when to look for the Christ child.

• The 70th week of Daniel, a period of 7 literal years, began with "Messiah the Prince". Messiah means anointed, and Jesus was publically anointed by the Holy Spirit at His baptism, declaring him to be the Messiah, at the end of 69 weeks / 483 prophetic years, which calculates to 27 A.D. as the year of Christ's baptism. 
  
• Knowing the year of Christ's baptism to be 483 years after the decree of Artaxerxes in 457 B.C., the wisemen needed simply to subtract 30 from 483 to know the Messiah would be born 453 years after the decree. Why 30?  A man had to be 30 years of age to serve in the Sanctuary / Temple (Num 4:3), and Luke says that at His baptism Jesus became about thirty. Jesus, when He turned 30, was considered to be old enough to perform the duties of a priest.
  
• Daniel 9:26-27 also tells us that the Messiah would be "cut off" (crucified) in the "midst of the (70th) week". So 3 1/2 years after His baptism, which was at the end of 69 weeks / 483 prophetic years, on Tabernacles of 27 A.D., Jesus would be crucified, precisely on 14 Nisan, Passover of 31 A.D.

  THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM

"... in the Old Testament (Daniel 9) the Saviour's advent was more clearly revealed. The magi learned with joy that His coming was near, and that the whole world was to be filled with a knowledge of the glory of the Lord.

The wise men had seen a mysterious light in the heavens upon that night when the glory of God flooded the hills of Bethlehem. As the light faded, a luminous star appeared, and lingered in the sky. It was not a fixed star nor a planet, and the phenomenon excited the keenest interest. That star was a distant company of shining angels, but of this the wise men were ignorant. Yet they were impressed that the star was of special import to them. They consulted priests and philosophers, and searched the scrolls of the ancient records. The prophecy of Balaam had declared, "There shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Scepter shall rise out of Israel." Num. 24:17. Could this strange star have been sent as a harbinger of the Promised One? The magi had welcomed the light of heaven-sent truth; now it was shed upon them in brighter rays. Through dreams they were instructed to go in search of the newborn Prince." – The Desire of Ages, by E. G. White, pg. 60.

Conclusion

So, if you have followed the above reasoning, based on the scriptural evidence, a case can apparently be made that Jesus Christ was born on the 15th day of the month of Tishri, on the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles, which corresponds to the September - October timeframe of our present calendar!

Tabernacles Future Fulfillment

It is also interesting to note that Tabernacles was a feast of ingathering of the Harvest (Exo 23:16 and 34:22). If Jesus' first coming was indeed on 15 Tishri, the first day of Tabernacles, then it is quite reasonable to presume that the harvest of this earth, the ingathering of the second coming of Jesus Christ, will also occur on precisely the same date. The unknown factor would be the year that this would happen.

I continue to get feedback regarding Yahooshua's exact status.

In this context it is important to distinguish between the status that he attained through being obedient even to the death of the stake having lived life without sin and any status he may have had before that point.

As i understand things the spirit being that was placed in the fertilized ovum (egg) in Mirriam {Mary} was the first spirit being that Yah ever created and who had a special relationship with Yah as a consequence. That spirit being also had full conscious knowledge of Yah and Yah's way of doing things, Yah's plan for the earth and the children of Adam (human beings) and also knew how Satan and the forces of darkness operated.

However, in coming to earth as a son of Adam {man}, Yahooshua stepped away from all power and privilege in order to be fully a son of Adam and live life as a human being in order to demonstrate that it was indeed possible for a human being to live a life without sin and to be totally filled with the set apart {holy} spirit.

In this regard, therefore, it is vital to recognize that there is NOTHING that Yahooshua did during his time on earth that was in any way a matter of special privilege or power, we are all created such that we are able to do the same and greater works relative to those performed by Yahooshua.

He was unique in his time on earth in that he succeeded in living a life without sin but he did it to demonstrate that we can also choose to forsake sin and serve Yah with all our heart, mind, soul and strength and to be filled to capacity with the Spirit of Yah.

BECAUSE Yahooshua accomplished this he was resurrected because there was no sin in him when he died NOT because of any special status.

It was a legal requirement that since he had lived without sin he was resurrected, just as it is a legal requirement that should you or i die having repented of all sin before death we too will be resurrected.

Let us consider what Yahooshua achieved on earth over and above the point of a life without sin totally as a son of Adam.

Firstly, consider that Adam is described as the son of Yah just as Yahooshua is described as the son of Yah.

In Job, even Satan and all created spirits in heaven are described as sons of Yah.

Yahooshua does NOT have exclusive claim to the designation "son of Yah", you and i are also son's of Yah -- in fact, chances are you refer to Yah as your father which by extension makes you His son or daughter so there is no reason to assume that being the son of Yah makes Yahooshua in any way particularly special, he was just like you or i when he was on earth.

Incidentally, Adam (man) fathered all of humanity with the exception of Yahooshua who did not have an earthly father but this was no different to Adam or Chavah {Eve}. Remember that the creation of Adam from dust and Chavah from a rib of Adam was MORE miraculous than the creation of the man Yahooshua from a fertile egg in a virgin so there is no particular reason to ascribe special status to Yahooshua here. It is pagan tradition that ascribe special status to a virgin in the context of the creation of the man Yahooshua. The only reason that Yah chose to create Yahooshua in this way was for the there to be a line of descent from Adam so Yahooshua could be a son of Adam and Yah chose a virgin because it was necessary so that no bloodline curses would pass to Yahooshua so he could start life without inherited curses and therefore sin.

This is a sovereign act on the part of Yahooshua and again does not convey a special rank on Yahooshua.

Many people are impressed by the miracles performed by Yah through Yahooshua but lose sight of the fact that ALL the miracles were performed by Yah and NOT by the human being who called them into being. Accordingly if we are to ascribe special status to Yahooshua we must ascribe the SAME status to Moshe {Moses}, EliYahu {Elijah}, and all the other prophets, else we must ascribe the same status to Yahooshua as we ascribe to them.

In deciding how you want to respond to this point please consider the following -- Yahooshua:

-- turned water into wine -- Moshe turned the waters of Egypt into blood;

-- healed lepers -- so did Elisha;

-- multiplied bread and fish -- Moshe fed the Yisraelites with manna in the wilderness for forty years, EliYahu multiplied meal and oil;

-- walked on water -- Moshe parted the sea; Elisha caused an axe head to float on water;

-- calmed the storm -- Moshe caused a storm;

-- did not cause any material thing to appear -- Moshe caused water to flow from a rock on two occassions; so did Samson; Moshe turned a rod
into a snake;

-- cast out demons and said that the sons of the Pharisees cast out demons by the spirit of Yah;

-- opened blind eyes -- Psalm 146 says Yah opens blind eyes; Paul caused a man to go blind and then to see again;

-- raised the dead -- Eliyahu raised the dead as did Peter;

-- cursed a fig tree and it died; Moshe destroyed all the plants in Egypt with a hail storm;

-- caused dumb persons to speak; Yah spoke to Balaam through a donkey;

-- did NOT call down fire from heaven; Moshe, Eliyahu and others did this;

-- did not bring about a global flood and destruction of the earth -- Noah did this;

-- laid hands on others to receive the set apart spirit; Moshe laid hands on seventy elders; Samuel anointed Saul and then David; Moshe received the
set apart spirit of Yah without laying on of hands or being immersed, Yahooshua only received it when he was immersed;

-- assigned his body to bread as an offering to Yah for covenant; Moshe designated a wide diversity of animal offerings {sacrifices} and meal, grain and bread offerings for various atoning and healing purposes AND thereby created the basis for Yahooshua's assignment;

-- assigned his blood to the wine in the cup as an offering and for atonement; again Moshe created the assignments to animal offering for forgiveness for sin which formed the basis of the authority for what Yahooshua did;

-- provided atonement through his offering on the stake and through his assignment of his body and blood to the bread and wine; again, Moshe instituted the offerings and rituals which Yahooshua fulfilled;

-- was resurrected; Enoch was translated {"raptured"} and never died; Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego were cast bound into a furnace and walked out unharmed; Daniel was cast into the lion's den and walked out unharmed;

-- repeatedly referred to himself as a prophet -- as far as i can recall all others only were named prophets by those around them;

-- lived a life without sin for thirty three and a half years; no one else has done that that i know of;

So

Either Moshe and Eliyahu and many other men were anointed prophets and emmissaries of Yah who did mighty works AND so was Yahooshua

OR Moshe and others are also super human beings as is ascribed to Yahooshua by many.

Bottom line?

Yahooshua WAS a mighty prophet, in some respects the mightiest ever but there could be a close context with Moshe given that Yahooshua only performed miracles for three years while Moshe did so for forty years and Moshe directly impact the lives of millions in real time and caused the death of millions and instituted the ordinances by which Yahooshua accomplished what he accomplished through assigning his body and blood to the bread and wine.

It is vital to understand this, IF we ascribe greater powers to Yahooshua when he lived on earth we DISEMPOWER OURSELVES from the challenge of seeking to forsake sin and be filled with the Spirit of Yah to the point where we can do the same and greater works than Yahooshua.

2 Thessalonians 2: 4

“Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called the Almighty [YHWH], or that is worshipped; so that he as the Almighty sits in the temple of the Almighty, showing himself that he is the Almighty [YHWH].”

Who is this person that is worshipped?

His description follows.

2 Thessalonians 2: 3 

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.”

Have we been warned in the Scriptures about this man?

Yes!

Yochanan [John] 5: 43. 

“I am come in My Father’s Name, and you do not receive Me: if another [saviour] shall come in his own name, him you will receive.”

Will people be deceived by signs and wonders and by whose power?

Yes!

2 Thessalonians 2: 10. 

“And him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.”

Are we warned about this deception of righteousness, and the ministers who will serve his purposes?

Yes!

2 Corinthians 11: 13 – 15. 

“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of the Messiah. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.”

Comment – HalleluYah!

Will the majority of people in the world accept this deception?

Yes, because we are told in 2 Thessalonians 2: 10, “they did not love the truth.”

Revelation 12: 9. 

“And the great dragon was caste out, that old serpent, called the Devil and Satan, which deceives the whole world: he was caste out into the earth, and his angels were caste out with him.”

How did the modern day scribes assist in the above deception and dethrone the Heavenly Father?

They incorrectly translated the Scriptures by leaving out some important words?

Read Yochanan [John] 1: 1, in any translation of the Scriptures and you will read as follows:-

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the word was God.”

Now ask the Christian the following questions:-

In the beginning was God. Who is He? Most will say, the Creator or God the Father.

Who is the Word? They will answer, Jesus.

One cannot blame them for the following deduction due to the translation.

“In the beginning was the Word [Jesus], and the Word [Jesus] was with God [The Father], and the Word [Jesus] was God [The Father].”

Therefore Jesus is God the Father. There is even a book entitled, “Heaven was empty for 33 years.”

This Resulted in the deception of 2 Thessalonians 2: 4“The son of perdition calling himself the Father.”

Let us now look at the Greek of Yochanan [John] 1: 1. 

1722     746      2258       3056                 3056     2258   4314     VIP     2316

Έν˙˙άρχή˙˙ήν˙˙ό˙˙λόγος˙˙καί˙˙˙˙λγος˙˙ήν˙˙πρός˙˙τόν˙˙θεόν˙˙καί

In[the] beginning was the Word  and  the   Word   was    with      THE  Theos  and

2316    2258        3056        3778     2258 1722   746       4314       VIP     2316    3956

θεός˙˙ήν˙˙ό˙˙λόγος˙˙ούτος˙˙ήν˙˙εν˙˙αρχη˙˙πρός˙˙τόν˙˙θεόν˙˙παντα

Theos  was  the   Word      This one was in the beginning  with      THE   Theos   All things

Let us translate it as stands but not leaving anything out.

“In the beginning was the Word [Yahusha] and the Word [Yahusha] was with THE  Almighty One [YHWH] and a Mighty one was the Word [Yahusha]  and This One was in the beginning with THE Almighty One [YHWH].”

Yahusha is a Mighty One, Elohim. [ without the designation – τον ]

The Heavenly Father, is The Mighty One, Ha Elohim. [ with the – τον ]

Facts 

[1]        Yahusha the Messiah has risen and sits on the right hand of His Father. Ephesians 1: 20 ; Colossians 3: 1, just to name a couple.

[2]        Yahusha always put His Father above Himself. Mark 13: 32 ;  Yochanan [John] 14: 28, “For My Father is greater than I.” and many others.

[3]        Who taught Yahusha? Yochanan [John] 8: 28, “My Father hath taught Me.”

[4]        The Heavenly Father YHWH and His Son Yahusha are One. Yochanan [John] 10: 30, “I and My father are One.”

How does one understand this last statement?

Ephesians 4: 4, “There is one body and one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling.”

Ephesians 5: 31, “For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.”

Philippians 1: 27. “---stand fast in one Spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the Good news.”

Total unity, in mind, in thought, in resolve, in Spirit, in intention.

Even in Yahusha’s darkest moment, He only wanted His Father’s will to be done.

Matt 26: 42. “O My father, if this cup may not pass away from Me, except I drink it, Thy will be done.” 

Amein

P.S. Can you now identify the son of perdition who calls himself the Almighty?

I regularly receive emails from people complaining about the situation on this planet and remarking that it is a blessing that "Jesus is coming soon" or words to that effect .

This points to a huge error that is almost universal amongst believers and which has its roots in a fundamental doctrinal and translation error that is one of the many errors that have been prevalent in the body of believers from at least around 600 AD

The true situation is as follows:

1. Revelation 20:4 refers to "reign with Christ for a thousand years"

2. People believe that "Christ" equates with Yahooshua and therefore Yahooshua {Jesus} will return to sort out the mess

3. This is incorrect, the word "Christ" relates to the anointing of the set-apart {holy} Spirit of the Almighty Creator, Yah the eternally self existing, on men

4. So this verse says that anointed ones will reign with the anointing of the Spirit of Yah for a thousand years

5. This will happen from the time that Satan is cast into the Pit for a thousand years -- this happened in May 2003

6. Prophets and Apostles of Yah have been anointing people as kings since early in this century

7. Yahooshua {Jesus} is SEATED at the Right Hand of the Father WAITING for his enemies to be MADE his footstool

8. The anointed ones must make Yahooshua's enemies his footstool by defeating evil and falsehood on the earth

9. Failing this Yahooshua will NEVER return, Satan will be released from the Pit and will reign on earth for eternity

10. Yahooshua will return ONLY to catch up the people of the earth to stand before the Judgment Seat

11. We have slightly under one thousand years to develop a deep personal relationship with the Creator, be filled with His Spirit, learn truth, teach truth and apply truth -- which is what reigning on earth is all about

May Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, the Almighty Creator, bless you and keep you and make His face to shine upon you.
