THE JESUS CULT
Is It the Purpose of the Church to restore the Old Covenant?
The Covenants, New and Old and ...?
As the knowledge concerning the true Identity of our savior the interest in the Hebrew Roots Movement, and the Sacred Names Movement grows. When someone comes to the realization that our Savior was born a Jew in the Tribe of Judah, and that this was a prophetic necessity -- the Messiah was and did come from the lineage of King David, a Jewish King -- Matthew 1:1. It stands to reason, then, that our Messiah/Savior, would have a Jewish/Hebrew Name. Because of this truth many new to this understanding join others with this same truth, but all too often those they find are attempting to restore the Old Testament (Covenant). Once the deceptions so entrenched into the Christian Churches, is realized it is only natural to seek out those who we can find agreement with. And, this knowledge and understanding may have come from one of these Holy Name groups and it is only natural, as well, to want to connect with those who seem to know more than you do and have had a hand in opening your mind to this all important truth.
Times of the Gentiles
The problem with most of these Hebrew Roots and Sacred Names groups is that they insist on restoring the Old Covenant. For some reason they do not see the Old Covenant as OLD, as Broken, and do not see that Old Covenant a covenant made with Israel, not with them. They seek to bind themselves to the Old Covenant as if they are Jews, not understanding, or not wanting to understand that we have been living in the Times of the Gentiles not the Times of Judah, for the past 1,900 years --
(Luke 21:24) And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
And when will that be finished? When will this time of the gentiles be finished, or fulfilled? We are told, and it was not when Modern Israel voted to be come a nation in May of 1948. Look as Jerusalem today and ask yourself, Do the people of Israel/Judah, really have control? Look at Jerusalem, it is divided up into sections by the Muslims, the Christians, and the Orthodox Jewish communities. When will this Time of the Gentiles come to and end?
Zec 1:16 Therefore this says YaHWeH; I am returned to Jerusalem (YaHshalom) with mercies: My House shall be built in it, says YaHWeH of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.Zec 1:17 Cry yet, saying, Thus says YaHWeH of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and YaHWeH shall yet comfort Zion (City of David), and shall yet choose Jerusalem (YaHshalom -- YaH's City of Peace).
This has never happened, yet it is proclaimed and will happen, for His Word is true and every man a liar -- Rom 3:4. Some teach that this happened at the First coming of our Savior, YaHshua. And point to His instruction not to go into the way of the gentile, but that was before the New Covenant was introduced, and had all Israel/Judah accepted YaHshua as the promised Messiah and Savior then things would have been different, but they did not, they killed their King instead. Also, reading those verses, along with Zechariah, Chapter 12 and chapter 14, you will clearly see that the fulfillment will not be complete until He has returned a KING of Kings - Revelation 19:16 -- and if you read all of Revelation, chapter 19 you will read how everyone is singing out, HalleluYaH, which is to say, Praise You YaH. Just as yourself, has the City of David been comforted? Has His HOUSE been built in Jerusalem? It is a city divided up among the Gentiles, and the Court Yard of the Temple is being trampled by the Gentiles.
Who are the Gentiles? Anyone that is not an Israelite or of Judah, a Jew. Now we have another warning, something few understand or see, and this is something that should concern every person joining the Hebrew Roots Movement, so pay close attention, if you have joined with them or are thinking about it. Listen to this warning from the Messenger of YaHshua --
(Rev 3:8-9) I know your works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for you have a little strength, and have kept My word, and have not denied My Name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue (church) of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Refusing to see this they attempt to become Jewish in their calling to the Messiah, working more to restore the Old Covenant than to live by the New. Some, especially in the Hebrew Roots Movement, even take on what they think or perceive to be Jewish or Hebrew in manner of dress and customs, thinking to restore the Law or the Torah of Moses. Some even go so far as to include in their worship, prayer shawls, something and Apostle for the New Covenant said was a shame -- 1 Cor 11:4 -- again, a teaching from the Apostle Paul. And, this is why there are those in the Hebrew or Jewish Roots Movement that hate Paul, just like the Jewish leadership hated Paul and accused Him of all sorts of blaspheme, and tried to kill him on several occasions. This battle between the Old and the New Covenants seems to be raging once again. Go back and read, again, Rev 3:8-9.
Yes, but, they have His Name too, don't they? And this knowledge of His True Identity point backward, or does it point us Forward? It should put us in the here and now, as we look into the prophetic word, looking forward. And we have one particular, prophetic word, from our Savior, YaHshua, about this very thing.
Mat 7:22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your Name? and in Your Name have cast out devils? and in Your Name done many wonderful works?Mat 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, you that work iniquity.
What? This most certainly applies to those who have come professing a false Messiah, and those having claimed great deeds in a name that is not His Name -- certainly this is what He is saying, but we cannot and must not ignore the fact that when our Lord and Savior, YaHshua, spoke these words, everyone knew His Name as YaHshua, not by other names that would come along later. This is a warning, a warning that His Holy Name, His Name of Salvation can be and often is used improperly, and for personal reasons or gain. And this is important enough that He repeats this warning for His Disciples.
(Mat 24:4-5) YaHshua answered them, "Be careful that no one leads you astray. For many shall come in My Name, saying, I am Christ (the Anointed, or the Messiah) ; and shall deceive many.
This is a problem the Hebrew and Jewish Roots people must face. Will they? The alternative is to turn whole heartedly to the New Covenant, to the Messiah of the New Covenant, the Author of the New Covenant, the One who signed and sealed the New Covenant with His Own Blood, and not the blood of sheep, bulls and goat, doves and pigeons.
But some will argue, What about the Forever Clause? I will present an obscure verse to make this point -- forever is only so long as the conditions are met, say, in a Testament, or Covenant between two parities -- in this case, between YaHWeH, the declared God of Israel and Judah.
(Deu 5:29) O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear Me, and keep all My commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
There is a condition attached to this forever proposition. There is a similar condition attached to the Old Covenant, to all the Commandments delivered to the people of Israel. So, then, what happens if the people do not hold their end up? What happens if they are not faithful to the Commandments always? Forever is only for as long as the conditions are met by both sides of the agreement. And, the Agreement, the Covenants made with Israel and Judah are not covenant made with other nations, or other people. This Old Testament Covenant was made with the people of Israel, as a nation, and with her sister, Judah, also a nation of people created by YaHWeH Himself, He raised up a people to worship Him.
Here is a pivotal point in the transition from the Old Covenant to the New, between the Jew and the Gentile as well -- This is the pivot point, the very time the Jewish brethren discover that the New Covenant is not for them only but for the Gentiles as well. From this point on, friction began to build among the Jewish believers and those ready and willing to accept the Gentiles believers. Read all of Acts Chapter 15 for another ruling in favor of the Gentiles, and remember that at this point the Gentile believers had not yet gained the greater numbers and becoming the face of the New Covenant. This truly had to be a hard pill for the Jewish brethren to swallow.
Act 10:28 And he (Peter) said unto them, You know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God has shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean. (Lev 18:24-30, Deut 7:3-12 and Ezr 9:11-12)
What is happening today among those pushing for the restoration of the Old Covenant are capitalizing on the growth in the understanding surround the Name of our Savior, and how His Name has been replaced by the Christians. This truth, as true as it is, is leading some to believe we need to turn to the Covenants of Torah. It is one thing to recognized a Law or Commandment that is universal to all flesh, created for all flesh as a blessing, and then to say that the Covenants that contain these Commandments are meant only for Jews or Israelis, and this is where things get foggy. The Law is good and exposes what sin is, but the Covenant is directed at a certain people. The Covenants include animal sacrifice, and other conditions, going above and beyond the Commandments. To restore one's life to live by the Commandments is not to take up the Law of Moses, that encompasses the Covenants, covenants made with all Israel, which they broke, and begin living as a Jew or Israeli. Even they do not live according to the Covenants, because they cannot, and if they cannot then neither can we. How is it they cannot and do not live according to the Covenants made with their forefathers? Because there is not Temple, and the sacrificial system is nonexistent at this time.
You see, the Jews and Israelis are all cut off from their God YaHWeH, because they refused the Offer to correct and change the Covenant toward what our Creator had intended in the first place -- He never wanted the blood of bull and goat -- these were things the people demanded in their part of the Covenants. YaHWeH gave them what they wanted. The people wanted to be like the nations around them and have a demonstration of how religious they could be, and this involved sacrificing animals, and even their own children. YaHWeH allowed this but only animal sacrifice, forbidding child sacrifice. Later when angry with how they had abused the Covenants and the sacrificial system YaHWeH challenged them and braided for their arrogance. They wanted a King, rejecting YaHWeH as their King, so He gave them a King -- Saul, then later, David. We should read this small event in the history of Israel and we will see how it is that the God of Israel, treated the people as spoiled children, giving them whatever they wanted, but still holding the Covenant intact. But, as we know, even when given their own way, they would break with the Covenant over and over again. The following is the first rejection of YaHWeH as their King. The Elders of Israel came to Samuel, the human conduit between the people and YaHWeH. Outside of Moses this was the closest connection the people would have, a near direct connect, and they gave it up because all they saw was Samuel.
(1Sa 8:5) And said unto him, Behold, you are old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.
(1Sa 8:6) But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD.(1Sa 8:7) And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.
How about the blood sacrifices? Do you believe that the Creator of all things, the Universe, our solar system, and Earth, needs to shed blood? No, but it seems we do. Man and animal cannot, or seems unable to keep from shedding blood. This leads to a principle or a law, is you will, that is from the beginning in the physical world -- blood for blood. But this was not from the beginning, and while some may thing that YaHWeh asked for Blood sacrifice, He did not, the people did. Just as they asked for a King, like the other nations. Yes, we have examples of the blood sacrifice from the time of Creation, because this process of sin and death had already been set in motion by Satan and his bunch. The creation of Adam and Eve was to circumvent what Satan had done in spoiling the Heaven of heavens. But, the blood sacrifice, among the Israelites did not have to be, just as they could have kept YaHWeH as their King, they could have avoided the blood sacrificial system through personal forgiveness with a direct connect to YaHWeH their God, but they refused just as others before them had refused Him as King of Kings, and wanting to engage in blood sacrifice like the other nations -- not just the blood of animals but of their own children. YaHWeH allowed for blood sacrifice, and in so doing He set down certain rules and regulations and reasons for animal sacrificing, not just to please a god or goddess, but to forgive sin. But, still, this was not the original requirement, just as it is revealed in the Word itself.
(Isa 1:11) To what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto Me? Says YaHWeH: I am full of the burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beasts; and I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or of he goats.(Isa 1:12) When you come to appear before Me, who has required this at your hand, to tread My courts?(Isa 1:13) Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto Me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity (sin), even the solemn meeting.
(Isa 66:1) Thus says YaHWeH: "Heaven is My throne, and the earth is my footstool; what is the house that you would build for Me, and what is the place of My rest?(Isa 66:2) All these things My hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares YaHWeH. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at My word.(Isa 66:3) "He who slaughters an ox is like one who kills a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, like one who breaks a dog's neck; he who presents a grain offering, like one who offers pig's blood; he who makes a memorial offering of frankincense, like one who blesses an idol. These have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations; (ESV with Name Restored)
The sacrifice of animals and the spilling of blood was for the flesh, not for Him, and this proved out in the fact that the people did such things for themsleves, not in worship of YaHWeH but for themselves. He never wanted it that way, but the flesh demanded it. The solution to put an end to the spilling of blood and the repeating of sin, and then more spilling of blood in an endless cycle would be to bring forth the ultimate and final sacrifice, once and for all.
Heb 10:6 You did not delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices concerning sins."
(Heb 9:11-14) But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God. ESV
(Heb 10:5-10) Consequently, when YaHshua came into the world, He said, "Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for Me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure. Then I said, 'Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of Me in the scroll of the book.'" When He said above, "You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings" (these are offered according to the law), then he added, "Behold, I have come to do your will." He does away with the first in order to establish the second. And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of YaHshua the Anointed once for all.
The Old Covenant and the requirements of the Old Covenant are no long required, except for those who do not accept YaHshua as that once and for all sacrifice. To the Jew, the Israeli there still exist a blood sacrifice, because they refuse the One that would cover them all forever. The requirement of the Law, which includes the penalty for sin, still hangs over their heads. The problem for their rejection is compounded by the fact that the Temple, around which the sacrificial system centered, is gone. Technically, they are cut off completely and will not find salvation until our Lord and Savior returns for a Second Coming, and this time in Power and authority as a King of Kings. For the Hebrew roots and the Jewish roots and others trying to restore what has been set aside? They are, sadly, crucifying our Savior again, and again, as if His blood, once and for all, is still not enough -- a different kind of denial, but a denial all the same.
What About The Christians, and The New Covenant?
-- Enter Replacement Theology, where the Church of Rome and others teach that the New Israel is the Christian Church. That is the basic Chirsitian position
Why His Name is important and should not be ignored --
(Act 4:12) And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other Name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."(Php 2:9-11) Therefore the FATHER also highly exalted Him, and gave to Him the Name which is above every Name; that at the Name of YaHshua every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that YaHshua the messiah is Lord, to the glory of God the FATHER.
(Note: The name JESUS did not exist until around the 15th century. The Name given to Him by His Heavenly Father, could not have been JESUS. His Birth Name is and always has been, Joshua, in the Old English Bible and YaHshua at Birth, delivered by the Angel Gabriel -- see how the meaning changes when His Birth Name is restored? Every knee will bow to .....? Names do Matter)
(Rev 3:8) I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut (The Internet?). I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept My word and have not denied My Name.(Rev 3:9) I will make those who are of the synagogue (Church) of Satan, who claim to be Jews (Israelis) though they are not, but are liars--I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you.(Rev 3:10) Since you have kept My command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial (trouble - tribulation) that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth.
What is Coming Upon the Whole World?
(Rev 6:12-13) When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale.(Rev 6:14) The sky vanished like a scroll that is being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.(Rev 6:15-17) Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, "Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who is seated on the throne, and from the Wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?" NIVWHY? Why is this Going to Happen?Our Savior, YaHshua, came to us around 1,980 years ago and what has changed? Knowledge has increased as well as technology. Man has gone to the moon, and surrounds the Earth with satellites. We have gone from riding horses and buggies to gas and electric powered vehicles. Citizens of the world can fly through the heavens, moving from one side of the Earth to the other in a matter of hours. All of this and still, what has changed? Technology and knowledge has grown, but has men and women changed? Have we become more loving toward others, have we stop making war, have we stopped killing each other, have we stopped rape and rebellion? Some live rich while other live in extreme poverty. The goodness of mankind is pictured as one thing while the accumulated results are only temporary. It would seem the minds of people are willing but the long term result is evil only.It is truly fortunate if you were born in one of the Western Nations, at least for now. World history is fill with war, murder, slaughter, annihilation, or attempted annihilation of other races -- on and on it goes. Pockets of peaceful existence, but even in those places there is rebellion. Just witness the USA, the Peace Keeper of the World, whose populations are in varioius states of rebellion from generation to generation. Here is a nation of States that has it all, or so it seems, but still no peace. Here is a nation that identifies itself as 80% religious, %70 Christian and still rebellion and hate breaks out from decade to decade.Many live as it there is not Creator God, not just denying His Son, but denying the Origin of all things, the Father of the Universe, the Power behind the Creation of all things. Men and women stand on a Planet like no other. Surrounded by unique life -- water, trees, grasses, rain in good measure, and living, flesh and blood creatures of every type imaginable. All of this and we can hear someone say that you cannot prove there is a God, much less a Creator God. Surrounded by Creation the Creation is denied. This website is not about the argument among creationist and evolutionist, but we do have a small presentation concerning things with Biblical revelations pointing to a Higher Intelligence -- Science and the BibleWe are told why, today and tomorrow, on into the future, that humanity going from disaster to disaster that the stubborn attitude of men and women will not not be one of repentance. Repent from what, you ask? And by that very question the point is made, the blindness of the spirit is revealed, the sin is hidden, as men and women do not see themselves as sinful creatures that really need saving. Being right, or righteous in your own eyes. Your rightness, seeing yourself as good, or not so bad actually accuses someone else, just as their rightness, in their own eyes, accuses you, and sometimes these accusations of others leads to death. Like a circle of death, not a circle of life, as humanity wants to think -- the Circle of Life, among the human race, leads only to Death -- all of humanity is in dire need of a Savior, otherwise eextinction will be the end result, and this result is seen in past civilizations buried in the dirt.Repent and turn from the natural sin, and from the pleasures of sin, from war, murder, and lying to each other and to one's self -- And the call on the One who can save us all -- just as you have already read, call on the One Name by which we must all be saved, YaHshua. Call on the One who created all we see, and maybe, just maybe He will have mercy on us -- Hebrews 1:1-2.Remember, He destroyed mankind once before, by a Great Flood, just as we read in the Genesis account. And we are told that a time similar to that time is coming again. It does not matter if we believe it or not. The process cannot be stopped, mankind is approaching the 6th Seal of Revelation, our toes are hanging over the edge, looking into the coming of His wrath, the Wrath of the Lamb -- Revelation 6:12-17.Think about it -- everything is in decay. As yourself, I'm I going to live forever? The answer is that you will die one day, and this is self-evident in your own flesh. What then, will the Earth die one day too? Will the Sun burn out one day? Answering these questions tell us that it is not only us, but all of the Universe as well, everything is running down, heading for extinction and unless a Creator steps in and stops it, or changes it, the decay of all physical matter will continue. This is when we ask, Are we for nothing, has our existence been for nothing? Is all of this for nothing? Just one big accident ready to go pop and then nothing? There is an answer. There is a way to correct all the decay and decline that we see. First, however, we need to correct ourselves, and having proven, from humanities historical record, that we cannot do it ourselves, we need help. Our Creator has sent us help -- He has sent His son to give us a path to eternal life, to escape this continual decay and decline. He has offered us a way, but frist we must Repent of this life, and to Confess, with our own mouths, from our own lips, His Son, we must call on His Holy Name, so that there is no confusion as to whom we Confess. Go back and read those verses quoted at the beginning of this page.Everyone who will Confess Him will be saved -- but it is seen that most of the world will not. Even in the face of extreme adversity, men will still try to save themselves, and impossible task, because mankind may save the flesh in a temporary way but it is only temporary, and all in vain, and still they will delude themselves into believing their own lies. This is what can be expected, but, hopefully, it will not be you.
(Rev 9:20) The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk,
It is not just about saving themselves, it is about calling on gods that are not gods. The works of their hands is not just about making idols it is also about using the human intellect and physical abilities to create pathways for their own salvation, however impossible, they refuse to turn to the originator of all things for their salvation, believing they can save themselves, in a kind of delusion, that they are more than they are, that they can, like Satan and his demons angels tried to do, to replace the Origin of all being, and replace the Creator of all things and become their own gods.When the Wrath of th Lamb strikes this Earth, we do hope and pray that those present will remember these words and repent with a true heart, even before, and be ready for the 6th Seal opening, and not be caught off guard as so many will be. And, remember, this will only be the beginning, only the opening of the 6th Seal, His Wrath, but there will still be a 7th Seal to open. See, Prophetic Outline, for more on this, and make yourself ready. Mankind will be given several opportunities to Repent, but scoffers will rise up, and there may even be a famine in the land of the Word itself. Seek while you can and find Him while He can be found. Do not rely on a wait and see attitude, and do not lull yourself into thinking you are safe, that you are rich in spirit and have not need for all of this worry in a fallen future. Wake up, or you may be find yourself in the following condition --
(Rev 3:15) "'I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot!(Rev 3:16) So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.(Rev 3:17) For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
______________________________________________________
This is a new spin on an old theology -- Replacement & Dominion Theology. The Replacement of the Jews, or the Biblical Israel by Christians as the new chosen of the God of the Bible. This is an old teaching taught by the Roman Catholic Church, among others, but today we have another competitor seeking to replace Israel, a movement known as the Hebrew Roots Movement claiming they are restoring the original Church by restoring the Old Covenant and its requirements. These gentile preachers dress in Hebrew, or Jewish appearing clothes and caps, some with colorful vests -- one even dresses up in a brightly colored robe, a very priestly look, and others using the phylacteries (corner tassels on clothing) and uncut beards -- all signs of religious Jews -- as many see them. These men are not ignorant, they are very knowledgeable in the Word and in the ways of the world and they are also very good at claiming to be something they are not, and in such a convincing way that many who seek this truth about our Lord's true Identity, are captivated by them and the truth they mix with untruth, becoming, many times a victim of their teachings that continue to place our Savior on the Cross over and over again.
These men teach a theology that feeds the physical desire of the flesh to be bound by the Law of Moses. What? You don't think that is possible? It is true, mankind has a desire to believe in a god, many gods. The atheist are few and the atheist thought of modern science is failing in the face of the unexplained -- they only guess when it comes to origins. Mankind has a built in nature to serve things or to worship objects or the self. It is human nature to want to see the god or gods and to demonstrate this belief in some kind of phyiscal act to prove their faith, so, following Torah and being as Jewish as possible is appealing to many as they shuck the Christian religions as a failed religion, filled with paganism inherited from the Romans, and the Greeks -- and they from the Babylonians and Egyptians.
Christians call this seeking Torah, Old Covenant legalism. Then they set up their own form of rules and customs and tradtions following their own righteous interpretation, ignoring the corrections and changes, even, our Lord introduced, and for some reason miss the institution of the New Covenant at the Cross.
We must be very careful when listening to these men as they introduce you to the true identity of our Savior, our Messiah, the Anointed One, YaHshua. Why? Because they then begin to tear the Cross of our Messiah apart, seeking to bind you to the failed Old Covenant -- as they seek to restore the Old Covenant. These people may be sincere but are being mishandled and encouraged to act like, or become a facsimile of the Jews, and somehow connect this visual image with the Covenant of our Lord and Savior, our Creator, YaHshua -- perhaps that is not a good discription as the Jews themselves are splintered in to various groups of disagreement and living styles -- they seem as lost as everyone else, coming up with their own style. Here is a warning to all -- to repeat -- (Rev 3:9) Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. (Jewish or Israelis pretenders? Claiming to be the original, or First Christian Church?)
The Hebrew Roots Movement (HRM) leaders do not come right out and say this is what they are trying to do, but, by their actions and teachings it becomes obvious. From these come spin-offs attempting to build "cultic" followings -- nothing good will come from these groups -- please beware, be forewarned -- be cautious when using or studying any of their material. If you think I am with them, or part of them, or have come out of them, because I will agree with some of what they teache, please go to About Us and be sure we are like you, not a Jewish cult or any type of personality cult and we want nothing from you except to let you know you are not alone in these days of confusion -- We believe YaHshua is Savior, the only Savior, and He is the Head of the Body which is spread out over this Earth and seen only by Him and we wait patiently for His return as witnesses to the truth of His Word and words. Remember, He said the time would come like the days of Noah, and in Noah's day only 8 souls survived.
There is no great revivlal coming, as some suppose, just the opposite from what is being taught -- for broad is the way to destruction and narrow is the path to life and there be few that find it (Mat 7:13-14) -- just the opposite of what is taught by the Evangelical Christians and many of those in the SNM and the HRM. We try to alert as many as will listen -- AS THE DAYS OF NOAH -- so that you might be one of the few (Mat 26:41; 25:13, Like 12:37) -- Many will come testifying that I, YaHshua, am the Lord and Savior and will deceive many (my paraphrase of Mat 24:5). We are seeing a prophecy from our Lord being fulfilled in this generation -- many are testifying in His Name, and are deceiving many.
From this website we hope and pray you find encouragement in the Word and the truths we share. We pray you find you place in His Spirit, the Holy Spirit of our Heavenly Father. He is the Head, He is our instructor. In His Body we cannot all be the hand, or the foot and certainly not the Head, for He is the Head of the Body. We should find freedom enough to let the Head (YaHshua) lead us, realizing that in the eyes of the Angels we are united in the one true Body, YaHshua, and United in Him we are then, also, United with our Heavenly Father. We are not trying to start some new congregation, how can we, we are either part of His Unified Body or we are not. What is seen from Heaven and what is seen from the physical earth are not the same. Heaven sees those sprinkled about this planet, like salt shaken out. One here, another there, but all salt, all part of His Spirit. Those of us who have found this truth do hope and pray this website is an encouragement to all, or some, that find it.

Not for Everyone? Maybe, Maybe Not! You Decide!
This site is not for everyone, it is, however, for those feeling alienated -- especially for those believers seeing a truth others in the Christian Community, deny, downplay, refuse to see, claim it does not matter, or just ignored --and that truth would be? The Rejection of His personal Identity (His birth Name), favoring another name that did not exist in the first century. In these days, as we approach ever closer to His return, a false name has been accepted without question -- JESUS, originally, IEVSUS, a name originally pronounced as, HeyZeus (The Zeus). The Biblical scholars have withheld the true identity of our Salvation by their traditions and other pagan festivals they have allowed or encouraged infiltration into those communities claiming belief in the Jewish Son of the Living God. These religious leaders from the past have given to the world a false name, a false identity directing those who are or have been called to the Kingdom away from their salvation -- away from the ONLY NAME By WHICH WE MUST ALL BE SAVED -- Acts 4:12 -- read it for yourself. Do not forget, then false name JESUS never existed when the New Covenant was confirmed by the Blood of our Savior, YaHshua. Man has given to mankind a false god, a god that tells them what they want to hear, not what they should hear. and with other spiritual influences preach and pray in the false name JESUS.
Through a process of man's traditions a different name has evolved -- a name of modern creation -- the name "Jesus" is another name accepted, not His Name, but another's -- John 5:43. This verse is applied to the Jews of the time, His audience at the time, but it is a principle teaching against false gods and false names accepted in place of the true and faith God of all Creation and our Savior.
His real Name, His birth name, YaHshua, ignored, refused and denied by the general Christian population. Another Name and another Gospel -- Galatians 1:6-9; 2 Cor 11:4 -- even another Messiah is accepted and preached.
If you have seen this truth please take courage, you are not alone. Those in doubt? Ask yourself a simple question; "Was our Savior given the name "Jesus" at birth?" If He were born today what Name would be entered on His birth certificate? Would His family records or the records the Romans kept for tax purposes have the name "Jesus" written out? Of course not, how could it, the name "Jesus" is a modern deception, a lie believed by nearly everyone -- a name that did not exist then. The name JESUS is barely 400 years old and was not found among men at the time of His birth nor after as is stated in Acts 4:12.
We are told by most teachers that the name "Jesus" is the modern equivalent of the original Hebrew/Aramaic birth name. This is not correct, the modern equivalent would be "YaHshua". The name "Joshua" is the equivalent in the Old Testament portion of the KJV Bible. Some say Yeshua from the Hebrew Scriptures and others point out the name "Yeshua" as the Aramaic equivalent and all of these are close and nowhere near the false name, Jesus. Most, if not all, Biblical scholars today recognized the Savior's birth Name as YaHshua (some minor variations), but this is not what they teach from the pulpit. It is admitted in many bible dictionaries that the bogus name "Jesus" should be Yahshua. Israel made this same mistake, calling Baal, LORD and later calling the many Baal's, Lord. Baal, by definition means, "lord" -- Lord worship, pushing the Holy Name of our Creator and Father aside.
Here is a small sampling from the International Standard Bible Encyclopedia: Jesus -- jezus, Ieous, for, yehoshua
We see a simple example of what nearly all resources do when dealing with the bogus name, JESUS, a name that never existed until around 400 years ago, they show you the bogus name JESUS, followed by what they see as the Greek then give the correct pronunciation, YeHoshua, which is nothing like the name they are promoting. If they have the Name, as they demonstrate
They are, in effect, witnessing against themselves as this lie is perpetrated upon those seeking the Messiah. In some dictionaries they will say this bogus name, JESUS, is actually the name JOSHUA, and from this is derived the pronunciation, YaHshua. Have a look at how Brown, Drivers, Briggs, Hebrew Word Definitions tells us how this name is to be pronounced. Remember now, this it the very Name given to our Lord and Savior at His Birth and declared on the 8th day after His birth at the Temple.
Transliteration: Y@howshuwa .
Phonetic: yeh-ho-shoo'-ah
- Definition: Joshua or Jehoshua = Jehovah is salvation
Notice in both the Transliteration and the Phonetic value are pronounced as YeH with a variation on the sencond or latter part, shua. In the Definition we see the J in place of the Y. So, which is correct, is this a contradictions? No, back in the day, around the time the King James Version of the Bible the letter J was pronounced as the Y. This and other Hebrew and Greek dictionaries on Biblical words point this out but is ignored by all. All of the J letters in the example above, should be updated to the Y, as pronounced in the Yod letter from the Hebrew Alphabet. Keep in mind, this name JESUS never existed when our Lord was named but the name Joshua, or a better pronunciation,YaHshua, did exist and for a couple of thousands of year before our Savior was born. The LIE, as it is, continues.
The scholarship goes blind and simply slips the invented name, Jesus, right past all reasonable understandings of what a "transliteration" is and ignores the rules of "translation" making the reader believe this made up name is an equivalent to YeHoshua, or YaHshua, which it is not -- The name Jesus is not a transliteration of His Birth Name, YaHshua, Yehushua or Yehoshua. You will see this over and over again, with an occasional admission of this error along the way. No one, not one person had ever heard of the name JESUS until after the King James Version Bible's first revision. The fact is, the original KJV, printed in 1611, presented the name as IESVS and in a later revision it became JESUS. IESVS being the Latin corruption that developed as the languages changed and familiar letter or characters in a name changed in pronunciation but failed to change of adapt to the changes as the languages changed. Old English did not keep up with the modern changes in some areas, namely in names. The J used to be the I and both at one time were pronounced as we do the Y today. By restoring the origial pronunciations we have a better hearing of the Name that is connected to Salvation -- Acts 4:12.
The lie: Jesus -- Je-zus (Geezus or Heyzeus) replaces His birth name Yahshua and,or, Yehoshua. Without any authority at all His Birth Name, the Name He is given at Birth, is changed and replaced.
The truth -- YeHoshua, or Joshua, or YaHushua, or YaHshua is the "birth Name" of our Lord and Savior, not the bogus name, Jesus, which is not even close to His Holy Name. Consider this, the name JOSHUA is found in the popular KJV Bible, a government authorized bible, by the way. This name, JOSHUA, was pronounced by the English as Yoshua. This name, Joshua, is the Old English equivalent of YeHoshua, or YaHsua. It is the Old English transliteration of our Lord's name, a name also found in the KJV Old Testament under the Book of Joshua. Our Savior's Birth Name is found in the KJV Bible, even to this day, so why was this name replaced with the name JESUS? If they already had the correct transliteration then why did they change it when it came to the New Testament, and thus lead the whold of Christianity astray? You can answer that one for yourself.
The birth Name or equivalent Names are "transliterations" of the original Hebrew while the name Jesus is not, it is from a Greek/Latin name, later changed from IESVS to JESUS by the English, pronounced as He-Zeus in most of the world outside of those speaking English -- the English were and still are pronouncing this false name as Geez-us.
Why would the translators use a bogus name like Jesus, or Iesvs, when the more appropriate and honest transliterations are available? Even the name Joshua (should be pronounced -- YaHshua) is closer and a better choice than the false name, Jesus. Go to this Link -- The Name Origin
How does Ge-zus become Yehoshua? It doesn't and just because they say it does does not make it so. You can see with your own eyes it does not, you can hear it with your own ears it does not -- the name Jesus and YeHoshua or YaHshua, or even YaHushua are completely different. The "transliterations", Yahshua and Joshua (Old English) are "transliterations" of either the Hebrew or the Aramaic -- and these are not translations either, they are "transliterations". Notice the first choice in the Greek attempt -- Inoous -- later changed to Iesous -- has no connection other than some say the Name Jesus is from this bogus name and this is from the Hebrew, which it is not, and when this does not work they then say the name "Jesus is a translation" from the Hebrew/Aramaic, which it is not. And when that does not work either they resort to saying this false name, JESUS, is an "equivalent", which anyone with eyes and ears can see and hear it is not. It is important for our spiritual growth and our salvation that we know whom we call on and who it is that is calling us (1Jn 4:3) and if you read your own bible and see with your own eyes how this verse has been changed by placing a different name for our Messiah than the Name He was born with, a Name His Heavenly Father gave.
Some have tried to down play this and while admitting the error, resort to the Jewish use of the Name Yeshua, while close is just as wrong. You will notice the "H" is dropped from the name. They print YaHshua as Yeshua, leaving the "H" but which is a vital part of our Heavenly Father's Name. I have read and hear some Jewish scholars and Ultra Orthodox try to explain this away, but it has been uncovered that when "consonants" are dropped it is to protect the holiness of the word and it is expected of the reader to mentally replace the missing consonant, in this case, the missing "H" and when you do this you come up with a completely different name than the one the Jews would prefer the Christians coming into this new Knowledge, would use. According to the Strong's Hebrew Dictionary, the word, used as a name, Yeshua, is to be pronounced as -- YaH-shoo-ua or YaH-shoo-ah. This is a far cry from Yeshua, pronounced by the masses as Yes-shoo-ua.
Next is the use of John 5:43 by those of us saying our Savior came in His Father's Name. We are told, especially by Jewish converts preferring to use the name Yeshua, telling us this verse is being misunderstood by those objecting to the dropping of half our Heavenly Father's Name. They insist it is the name Yeshua that was so popular in the first century, and so it is only reasonable for our Savior to have been named Yeshua instead of YaHshua or even YaHoshua. We know from Matthew 1:21 the name given to Mary and Joseph to name our Savior came from an Angelic Messenger and not from some neighbors or family members, so, was the name delivered in Aramaic, or Greek, or Latin? It is not as if His Birth Name has been lost, it hasn't, not at all. In conversing with an individual that teaches Biblical Hebrew In Israel, I was told that I was wrong in using, YaHshua, as the name for the Old English transliteration, as the proper English, from the Hebrew is Yehoshua. Of course, those who prefer the name, Yehushua would take issue with that, but notice, neither of these choices are anything close to the bogus name, JESUS. And what then is the arguement among those following the Hebrew/Aramaic? It is over a "vowel" or two that does not change His Name at all but only presents us with small, supplied letters to accommodate certain dialects.
Some say this name, Yeshua, is the Aramaic form of YeHoshua, and others that Yeshua is the contracted form, or the shortened form of the Hebrew -- but wait -- read the account of Paul and the message he received from a heavenly source where he identifies the language (tongue) he is hearing and it is Hebrew, not Greek (Acts 26:14 "...I heard a voice speaking to me, saying in the Hebrew Tongue..."). I think we can safely assume the Name delivered was in the Hebrew and would then be YaHshua, or YeHoshua, if you insist, which, as pointed out earlier, is the better pronunciation of HIs Name. We are merely restoring the missing "H" and thus restoring His Name and the Name of His Father. When we understand this, then what John records is not some mistranslation or being misunderstood when he recorded what our Savior had to say.
(John 5:43) I am come in my Father's Name, and you receive Me not: if another shall come in his own name, him you will receive. KJV \
(Note: Is the Father's Name Jesus? Hardly, and you know it. The Father's Name is found in our Savior's Name, a Name given Him by His Father, Named after His Father -- John 17:12 "While I was with them, in the world, I Kept them in your name. NIV -- how difficult is this? Why does the Christian community deny this? Could our Savior say it with more clarity? And He was right, there is "another" being accepted, having come in "another" name?)
(1Jn 3:21-23) Beloved, if our heart condemn us not,then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. and this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of His Son YaHshua the Christ, and love one another, as He gave us commandment. KJV
(Note: Birth Name restored -- remember, the name JESUS is not the Name given our Savior at birth and the Name Jesus is not a "transliteration of his Hebrew/Jewish name -- a Name by which we must all be saved, Acts 4:12 -- this is a serious matter -- the name JESUS never existed until 15th century)
Please, let me make this very plain -- Scripture tells us every knee will one day bow to the possessor of the Name, YaHshua, and everyone will call on that Name in declaration or denial of our Savior -- Everyone, great and small, will kneel to the Name and the person of YaHshua.
(John 3:18) Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the Name of God's one and only Son.(Php 2:9-10) Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the Name that is above every name, that at the name of YaHshua every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, ... (Note: "...every knee, in heaven and on earth and under the earth" ... ? Under the earth would be the dead, they will be raised back to life and have the opportunity to kneel before the Savior, YaHshua)
I did not write those words and while you may not agree with me, you need to come up with an answer concerning what the Apostles taught. The Name they used and talked about, taught, and baptized in was not the popular, false name, JESUS. Like I said, "This web site is not for everyone", this truth is hard for many to accept, to believe they could have been deceived, so lied to, is just hard for many to accept, but accept it they must -- if not now then at time will come when they will have to. Certain truths are not given to everyone at the same time. We are all in a growing process and for those of you looking to grow in knowledge of Him then you should find that it is not hard to uncover this monumental truth concerning His, our Savior's true Idenity. Once you start restoring His true Birth Name to your reading and study you will see how this is a key to unlocking a door to the One and Only True Savior.
This site is for those already understanding the deception at work in this world and looking to grow in the knowledge of Yahshua and our Heavenly Father. It is not my purpose to call your "salvation" into question, that is your job -- work out your own salvation (Php 2:12)-- that is your responsibility, not mine, not your pastor's, but your responsibility. If the information you find here helps you in your search and journey in the Word of our Creator, then I will be happy knowing you have received some encouragement from my efforts in sharing what I believe has been shown to me and others, in a world turned upside down in its thinking. Broad is the path to destruction and narrow is the way to Salvation -- just the opposite of what the world and its teachers tell you (Mat 7:13-14, read it and then read it again -- "...a narrow path, and few that find it").
Do you have to agree with what I see and what I believe to gain salvation? Absolutely not, and I do not say you have to know the true identity of our Savior either, but one day, when He returns, you and everyone else will bow to Him as Kings of Kings, and those that hung him on the stake will weep, and those that have not known Him by Name, small and great, will bow to the possessor of the Name, YaHshua. The name "Jesus" will be revealed for what it is, a modern invention, a deception, a bogus name. There is salvation in no other name (Acts 4:12, Rom 10:13, Acts 2:21, Zech 13:9, Ps 79:2)
(Rom 10:9) That if you confess with your mouth, "YaHshua is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Today's Body of the Messiah:
Few in number -- strong in faith -- weak in the flesh -- strong in the spirit -- rejecting the lie -- accepting YaHshua's birth Name as the truth -- believing in His person and His Name (Acts 2:21), setting Him apart from all other Christs and Messiahs -- rejecting any other name (John 5:43, Acts 4:12) -- refusing to believe or accept the lie (2 Thes 2:11). We remember all that call on His Name will be Saved (Romans 10:13, Acts 2:21). Be of courage, YaHshua has made this known to you for His own purposes, be of good cheer. We have an "open door" set before us, a door "no man can shut" -- some believe that door is the Internet -- I believe that Door is the Christ, our Messiah YaHshua -- you decide (John 6:44, John 14:6, Rev 2:3, )
Who says His Name is not found in the Bible? Who says it is not Important?
NEW TESTAMENT Cries Out --
The following verses prove the Name of our Savior is in the New Testament and begs the question, "Why did the translators use the correct Name in some places but not in others -- implanting the bogus name "Jesus" for our Savior's birth-name, YaHshua (Joshua)"?
The NIV, notice the correction from the Jesus to Joshua
(Act 7:45) Having received the tabernacle, our fathers under Joshua (YaHshua) brought it with them when they took the land from the nations God drove out before them. It remained in the land until the time of David, NIV
(Act 7:45) Which also our fathers that came after brought in with Jesus into the possession of the Gentiles, whom God drave out before the face of our fathers, unto the days of David; KJV
(Act 7:45) Our fathers in turn brought it in with Joshua when they dispossessed the nations that God drove out before our fathers. So it was until the days of David, ESV
(Heb 4:8) For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day. KJV(Heb 4:8) For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. NIV(Heb 4:8) For if Joshua had given them rest, God would not have spoken of another day later on. ESV
(Mat 10:22) And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.(Act 4:12) Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."(Mat 18:5) Whoever receives one such little child in my name receives me,(Mat 18:20) For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in their midst.(John 10:3) To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.(Joh 12:28)Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorifyit again. (A prophetic statement)(Php 2:9) Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
This is but a sampling of verses having to do with His Name and the Name of our Heavenly Father. I will not try to quote them all -- I don't want to take all of the fun out of your own search. John 12:28 is very interesting, notice, it is stated, that His Name "was glorified", as in a time before and then He says, "and I will glorify it again", as in a future time. Doesn't this suggest a lapse or gap in the "glorifying" of His Name, indicating a future time to be "glorified again"? I believe we are moving into that time, when His Name will be "glorified again" -- the Name of our Heavenly Father and that of our Savior, once glorified and to be glorified again.
This understanding points us to another statement of our Savior, a prophetic statement uttered and quoted by many without the full meaning -- He is requesting His Father glorify His Name and the answer returned to Him is telling us of a time still to come when His Name will be glorified "again". We know this is to be still in the future because, as we have seen, it is not happening today. The Jew/Israelites have failed in this preferring to hide His Name and the Christians do the same by replacing His Name and that of His son by another and this will has led to a time of deception leading those wanting to enter the Kingdom into believing the LIE.
Sad to say but the revelation, once again, of our Savior's Name and that of the Heavenly Father -- His true identity -- will be used to lead many into deception by the use of this end-times knowledge -- the true identity of our Savior. Through a prayer YaHshua forecast a time when His Name and the Name of His father would be "gloried" (recognized), a time when many would understand this truth but instead of rejoicing they will use it to deceive many. Not my words but His.
(Mat 24:5)For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ (Messiah); and shall deceive many.
I take this verse seriously, as should those attempting a restoration of the Old covenant -- some claiming to be Jew when they are not. YaHshua is telling us that many will come in His rightful Name and deceive many -- a prophetic statement -- a future event spoken by our Savior -- something to happen from the time of His death ,in the flesh, to now. We know His true identity was lost and replaced by the modern name, Jesus, making what He said very unlikely (Matthew 24:5). Now, in these days, we see the ever growing knowledge and debate swirling around the religious communities as this knowledge becomes undeniable. Now and on into the future His words, "...many shall come in my Name..." should ring loud in the ears of all believer, followed by, "... and shall deceive many."
We see this restoration of Name and traditions under the banner, The Sacred Names Movement. Many well meaning people searching for truth and knowledge come into this truth and immediately assume the teachers with delivering this knowledge have the secret to life seeing these teachers as Apostles or Prophets of the Living God when they are not. YaHshua soon becomes secondary, in many cases, to the Old Testament and service to the Laws of Moses (YaHshua called the Torah, Laws of Moses). You must read Gal 3:8-14 and be aware of this attempted redirection from YaHshua as Savior back to the Law as savior.
Most of these groups are attempting to restore Old Covenant worship, the covenant made with the people of Israel, not the original with Abraham. In this they do crucifying our Lord and Savior again. Please understand this, Abraham was not a Jew nor an Israelite -- he came before the creation of the people of Israel. Out of Him Israel and the Jews did come as he fathered Isaac and Isaac fathered Jacob from whom the twelve sons came making up the nation of Israel. But, do not forget, Abraham had other children, many other children whom he sent away into the East as a precaution and protection of his first born Isaac. The restoration these people of the Sacred Names Movement attempt is that of Israel, not of our Father in the Faith, Abraham.
It is not for us to "restore" anything, that is what our Messiah will do when He returns and then we can be sure it is done right. These restoration ministries, whether they call themselves that or not, are attempting to retstore what Israel lost. The covenant of Abraham was handed down from one to the other (Acts 7:32) but another covenant, an additional covenant was made with the people of Israel and it came to be known as the Law of Moses (Mk 12:26, Lk 24:44).
This restoration of Israel is what our Savior will accomplish, not some individual or group of individuals. Look at the two witnesses of Revelation 11 -- the world hates them, they restore nothing, they die alone in their mission of preaching the True God and Savior. Yes, many will come in His Name, as prophesied by our Savior, but the two witnesses will be the only true Witnesses prior to our Savior's return. Yes, even today, not only among the Christian Communities but also among the Sacred Names groups we see claims being made about doing the work of the EliYaH (Elijah), and others claiming to be the "two witnesses", and others having this truth of our Lord's identity recklessly taking things to themselves that do not belong to them. YaHshua is going to restore what needs to be restored by and in the authority of our Heavenly Father.
Claiming to be Jews
Come out of these false groups, have nothing to do with them, they are deceived in their own minds, and those surrounding them only feed the flames. (1 John 4:1, Luke 21:8, 2 Timothy 3:13, 2 Peter 2:2, Titus 1:10-11, Revelation 3:9) There are those attempting to be Jews and in their error, attempting to restore what is not theirs to restore -- the Old Covenant. By their actions they are saying they are Jews but they are not -- they are deceiving and being deceived themselves -- this is speaking to the leadership of these groups primarily. The sincerity of those coming to this true is not questioned as the fault lies within the belief that because the see the truth of His Name so clearly that anyone introducing them to this truth must be ordained by God or YaHshua, and this is not the case. Even the devil will tell an occasional truth in order to insert a lie.
Those claiming you must be as the Jew or like an ancient Israeli, claiming to be what they are not, will be made part of the house of Satan -- strong words -- not my words, but His and we should listen -- read it for yourself.
(Rev 3:9)Behold, I will make them of the synagogue (Church) of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.
In my understanding the words expressed in Revelation 3:9 apply to those saying they are Jews, those attempting to restore the Old Covenant, and those claiming to be the lost tribes of Israel. This applies equally to those claiming they are the Elijah, or clasiming to be one of the Two Witnesses -- this is a warning to the Christian community, it is not a warning to the Jews but to believers. The people of Judah, and of the Jewish religion are just that, they are the people of the Old Covenant, and for them to make act as if they are Jews is natural, and it is that reason the words in 3:9 are not aimed at them, but at those who would be something they are not. These do not have to be literal Jews but those claiming to live as Jews. There are those, in these last days, that claim to be restoring the Old C
In today's world we have many of the Protestant denominations teaching what is known as "Replacement Theology". The basic idea is that Israel has been replaced by the Christian Church. This has been taught since the formation of the gentile and pagan Church of Rome formed, and is a concept the Protestant Churches, breaking away from their Mother Church of Rome, applied to themselves. There is another body of Christians teaching what is called, "British Israel-ism", and this is a teaching that most, if not all, people of European descent are the lost tribes if Israel. Then there are smaller groups applying the Old Covenant as though they are Jews, and or Israelites in an attempt at restoring the Old Covenant, a Covenant our Creator has reserved for Himself to restore, to make new with the true people of Israel. So, we see, there is no shortage of those claiming to be something they are not.
The New Testament has a lot to say about names -- research it, find the verses in your own bible -- verses shouting the importance of His Name, His Identity. The Old testament is not silent on this either. The Hebrew portion of the Holy Bible is more than a record of the Old Covenants, it is for our benefit, a learning tool, a prophetic tool, a tool in how our Creator God thinks and deals with man. It is the Hebrew Scriptures that testify YaHshua is who He says, and said, He is. The Apostles of the Messiah taught from the Hebrew scriptures, as did our Savior. The New Testament was not put together until many years after the death of the last Apostles. There are no originals of the New Testament writings, only copies. The New Testament is the message of YaHshua as taught from the Hebrew Scriptures and it is the purity of the Old Testament, the Hebrew Scriptures that preserves the authority and reliability of the New Testament.
(2Tim 3:16) All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
My friends, when this was written there were no other "Scriptures" but the Hebrew Scriptures. When the Apostles taught they taught from the Old Testament, that is to say, they did not teach the Old Testament. They taught from the Hebrew Scriptures and only rarely mentioned the writings of others but we need to keep in mind a very important side, and that is that YaHshua taught the Disciples for 40 days after His resurrection for a period of 40 days and also the original 12 for around 3 1/2 years, but this was before they had received His Holy Spirit (John 20:22), once He gave them the Spirit then they would recalled what they had been taught before also (John 16:4).
If you have a concordance look up the word, "scripture" and see how many times they are called on the Hebrew bible. When someone tells you the Old Testament is done away, or abolished, or finished, or removed, you can know the truth is not in them as the Apostles of the Living Christ freely quoted from them as did our Messiah, YaHshua. Yes, there is a New Covenant and there will be another Covenant our God will make with Israel in the future when YaHshua will give all Israel a heart of flesh, removing their heart of stone. Today, and since the sacrifice of our Savior, all believers enter into the New Covenant under the banner of our Savior, accepting His life in payment for our lives that we might enter into the Kingdom to come. The time is coming when the "old" will be made "new" and the new will be made old.
OLD TESTAMENT Cries out --
The Book of JOSHUA (Yoshua, YaHshua, YaHushua, YeHshua, Yeshua) bears the Name of our Savior. Joshua lead the people of God into the Kingdom -- a forerunner of the coming Messiah when He will return and lead His people into the Kingdom.
The following is a verse declaring the Name of our God. It is presented in several quotes from different translations and in each it remains the same. If you can know the name of the God of Israel, you can know the name of your God and the Name of His son, your Savior.
Psalm 68:4 Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name JAH and rejoice before him. (KJV) (Pronounced as YaH, not, Jaw),Psalm 68:4 Sing to God! Sing praises to His name. Exalt Him who rides on the clouds -- His name is Yahweh -- and rejoice before Him. (Holman Christian Standard Bible)(Psa 68:4) Sing to Elohim! Psalm to his name! Extol him who rides on the plains, by his name Yah; and jump for joy at his face. (ECB - exegese companion bible)(Psa 68:4) Make songs to God, make songs of praise to his name; make a way for him who comes through the waste lands; his name is Jah; be glad before him. (BBE - Bible in Basic English) (JaH is actually pronounced, YaH, not, Jaw)(Psa 68:4) Sing to God! Sing praises to his name! Extol him who rides on the clouds: to Yah, his name!Rejoice before him! (WEB)(Psa 68:4) Sing unto God, sing praises to his name: cast up a highway for him that rideth through the deserts; his name is JAH; and exult ye before him. (RV)(Psa 68:4) Sing ye to God, Make music of his Name,—Lift up (a song), to him that rideth through the waste plains,—Since Yah is his name, exult ye before him. (Rotherham)(Psa 68:4) Sing unto Elohim, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name YAH, and rejoice before him. (RNKJV)
If you would really like to know how often the Name of God is mentioned in the Old Testament go to the library, or Christian Book store, and look for a copy of the Jerusalem Bible. The translators saw fit to restore (actually, transliterate, from the Hebrew) the Name of the God of Israel -- YaHWeH. There is also the Emphasized Bible which, like the Jerusalem Bible, has been around for many years -- not lost, merely ignored. The New Holman Bible uses the transliterated Name of the God of Israel also, in certain key verses. The Holman Bible is a relatively new translation and must be congratulated on having the courage to restore, if only partially, His Holy Name back into the Scriptures. All, however, miss the mark completely when it comes to the New Testament where the false name is dominate. Again, not hidden but ignored, it does not really take too much research to discover our Lord and Savior was never named the name, JESUS.
Return to the New Testament, Revelation
Rev 19:1 After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: "Hallelujah (pronounced, Hall-El-u-YaH)! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God.Rev 19:6 Then I heard what sounded like a great multitude, like the roar of rushing waters and like loud peals of thunder, shouting: "Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. (Hall-el -lu - YaH, is to translate -- Praise our God YaH, or Praise Elohim Yah)
What does Hallelu-Yah mean? It means "Paise to you God YaH" or, "Praise EL (God) YaH" -- This shout of Praise to YHWH (YaHWeH) is heard in song and shouts of glory throughout the Christian community without understanding. The Name of our Creator is shouted out in assemblies around the world without understanding. The Christian community, unknowingly sing and shout out praise to our Savior and our Heavenly Father -- amazing.
Do any other Translations agree? You be the judge!
Rev 19:3 And again they said, Alleluia. (KJV)Rev 19:3 And a second time they say, Hallelujah. (RV)Rev 19:3-4 And a second time they said, Hallelujah. And her smoke goes up to the ages of ages. And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and did homage to God who sits upon the throne, saying, Amen, Hallelujah. (Darby)Rev 19:3 And a second time they say, Hallelujah. (ASV)
Rev 19:3 And again they shouted: "HalleluJah! ..." (NIV)
Every time you see a name in the Holy bible with the letters, "iah" you are looking at, and saying the Name of your Creator in the Greek form. Jerem-iah, Isa-iah, Zephan-iah, Eli-iah, or EliJah. With the name Elijah you can see the mistake of the translator, while using "iah" in other names they use "Jah" as in Elijah's name, here is seen the association the letter "j" has with the Greek "i", a letter as a transliteration of the Hebrew/Aramaic "y". All of these, and many others are pronounced as "Yah", JeremYah, IsaYah, and EliYah. (The Greek influence is unmistakable, "i" replacing "y" and "j". If you do any research at all you will see the relation "i" and "j' have, once being the same, only later changing with the "j" finding its own pronunciation, especially among the English speaking people). The next time you say, or sing HalleluYah, think about what you are saying, and to whom. Want more? Click this link -- Shouting His Name
Names do not matter?
Act 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (KJV)
Rev 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. (KJV) (If your name is important, how much more His?)
Pro 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in his garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou knowest? (ASV)
John 17:12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. (NIV)
Heb 13:15 Through Yahshua, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise--the fruit of lips that confess his name. (correct name restored -- NIV, uses the bogus name Jesus)
(Php 2:9-11) Therefore the FATHER also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of YaHshua every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that YaHshua the messiah is God, to the glory of the God the Father. (WRNV)
(Heb 1:4) Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
(Rom 10:13) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
(Act 2:21) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
(Php 2:9-11) Therefore God has highly exalted Him, and has given Him a name which is above every name, that at the name of Yahshua every knee should bow, of heavenly ones, and of earthly ones, and of ones under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Yahshua the Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. MKJV
(Mal 1:11) For from the rising of the sun even to its going in, My name shall be great among the nations; and everywhere incense shall be offered to My name, and a pure food offering. For My name shall be great among the nations, says YHWH (YaHWeH) of Hosts. MKJV (Do we see this today? No, but we will, one day)
(Eze 43:7) And he said unto me, Son of man, the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel for ever, and My Holy Name, shall the house of Israel no more defile, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, nor by the carcases of their kings in their high places. KJV
A Change is Coming
There is a change coming and we must, as believers, be ready for it spiritually. The political systems as we see them today are all going to change. There is coming an event which will usher in the "end days" for the rule of men and Satan, but it is only a beginning of an end.
