Brethren or enemies of Yahusha?

Rev 12: 3  And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and SEVEN CROWNS upon his heads.

Revelation 13:1  And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns TEN CROWNS, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

The Dragon in Rev 12 was crowned on 7 heads whereas the beast in Rev 13 was crowned on his 10 horns
What's the difference?

Crown symbolizes RULE. Rev 12 shows the rule of the Dragon (Satan) through his 7 beastly kingdoms whereas the Rev 13 shows the final 8th beast RULING & carrying all the abominations of the previous 7 beastly kingdoms.

John is given the description of the beast he saw coming up out of the bottomless pit. To understand the symbolism of Satan being bound in the bottomless pit and his coming out which is synonymous with the eighth beast coming out of the bottomless pit please refer to my study on this blog 'The Binding of Satan and his Loosing'

Re 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

Re 17:8 The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

Re 17:11 And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition.

Rev 17:12  And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour.13 These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast

TEN kings which had no rule are ruling with the beast for one hour showing off some godliness in hating the whore (Mystery Babylon) but actually being deceived by being one with the beast. These shall give their power and strength unto the beast. What does this mean?

The man of sin is the lawless man who is deceived by the whore and is fornicating in following false doctrines from Satan and oppose all those who hold on to the true doctrines of the Messiah and thinks that by persecuting (through scoffing and mocking) those who hold on to true doctrines they are doing Alahim service and in doing this they are trying to show they hate the whore but in deception are actually drinking the wine of her fornication.

Alahim's word gives a lot of examples of persecution the people of Alahim had to go through from their so called BROTHERS

Genesis 31:29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the Alahim of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.

These are the words of Laban to Jacob. Laban was his father in law and of his own brethren
Alahim restrained this wickedness and evil plot of Jacobs brethren against him but towards the end these so called brethren give their strength unto the 8th beast. You may refer to my study on this blog called Scoffers.

Alahims promise is recited by Paul in Romans 9:11-12 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of Alahim according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) [12] It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
The elder shall serve the younger but because of Jacobs ( Israel) sin the elder is now ruling

Genesis 25:23 And the Yahuah said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels;and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

Mt 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

Matthew 10:36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Haggai 2:22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.

The riders shall come down by the sword of his BROTHER. The TWO NATIONS have always been at war with each other.

Amos 1:11 Thus saith the Yahuah ; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath for ever:

Edom is Esau. Alahim will avenge his children.Israels enemies were of his own household.As long as they obeyed Alahim they were under Alahims protection.The kings giving power and strength unto the beast is a picture of Israel's brethren ruling while Israel is on a flight from his enemies of his own household.

Ezekiel 38:21And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Yahuah Alahim : every man's sword shall be against his brother.

Jeremiah 9:4-5 Take ye heed every one of his neighbour, and trust ye not in any brother: for every brother will utterly supplant, and every neighbour will walk with slanders. [5] And they will deceive every one his neighbour, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and weary themselves to commit iniquity.

Look at Isaacs prophecy concerning Esau

Genesis 27:40 And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.

If one understands prophecy then you would see the fulfillment of it in that Esau the lawless man is in dominion now and in this way the strength is given to the beast. The ten horns have the CROWN-ONE HOUR with the BEAST.

 Re 17:12 And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.

The elder brother receives POWER as KINGS ONE HOUR WITH THE BEAST.

Jeremiah 25:15-27 For thus saith the Yahuah Alahim of Israel unto me; Take the wine cup of this fury at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send thee, to drink it. [16] And they shall drink, and be moved, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them. [17] Then took I the cup at the Yahuah's hand, and made all the nations to drink, unto whom the Yahuah had sent me: [18] To wit , Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, an hissing, and a curse; as it is this day; [19] Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people; [20] And all the mingled people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod, [21] Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon, [22] And all the kings of Tyrus, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the isles which are beyond the sea, [23] Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all that are in the utmost corners, [24] And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mingled people that dwell in the desert, [25] And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes, [26] And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another, and all the kingdoms of the world, which are upon the face of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.[27] Therefore thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Yahuah of hosts, the Alahim of Israel; Drink ye, and be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

Revelation 17:4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

Revelation 18:6 Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto her double according to her works: in the cup which she hath filled fill to her double.

Jeremiah 25 the verses I quoted above shows Alahim makes all to drink the cup of Mystery Babylon. This cup of Mystery Babylon is drunk by Jerusalem to her brothers Moab, Ammon (Moab and Ammon were children of Lot. The daughters of Lot made their father drink and slept with him to give birth to Moab and Ammon), Arabia (Ishmael) Edom (Esau) etc to all the kingdoms of the beasts. ALL have drunk the wine of the WHORE.

1 Kings 13:1-3 And, behold, there came a man of Alahim out of Judah by the word of the Yahuah unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. [2] And he cried against the altar in the word of the Yahuah , and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Yahuah ; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee. [3] And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the Yahuah hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.

Messiah is the one who builds the tabernacle of David which fell in the days of Solomon because Solomon built high places for his wives to please them. Because of his mercy to David Alahim did not rend the kingdom in the days of Solomon but in the days of his son Rehoboam when Alahim allowed Jeroboam to snatch the house of Israel away from him and rule as king of Israel.

Acts 15:16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up:

Jeroboam was an abominable king and tried to DISTORT the pattern of Alahim. He did this by setting up 2 calves in name of Alahim saying these are the gods that brought you out of the land of Egypt and one he placed at Bethel ( house of Alahim) and one in Dan( the tribe which set up false priest hood and tried to distort Alahim's pattern). To understand this better please refer to my study 'Guarding the Pattern' on this blog. 

1 Kings 12:28-30 Whereupon the king took counsel, and made two calves of gold, and said unto them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem: behold thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.[29] And he set the one in Beth-el, and the other put he in Dan. [30] And this thing became a sin: for the people went to worship before the one, even unto Dan.

1Ki 12:31 And he made an house of high places, and made priests of the lowest of the people, which were not of the sons of Levi.

Moreover Jeroboam also followed what Dan did. He set up priests of the lowest of the people which were not the sons of Levi. Another distortion just as it is said of Satan in Ezekiel 28 'sealest up the sum' which when translated means 'distorts the pattern'

Jerusalem was the place to go to worship and Levites were to be the priests and this was the PATTERN but the pattern was distorted. The brethren of Jacob themselves were responsible for this but Alahim kept preserving the line of David because Alahim promised him that the Messiah would come from his seed.

Pr 29:2 ¶ When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

 Pr 29:16 ¶ When the wicked are multiplied, transgression increaseth: but the righteous shall see their fall.

The transgressors will come to the full and these transgressors will be of our own brethen. Those whom we walked to the house of Alahim.

Da 8:23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.

The beastly rule is a reflection of those who understand dark sentences (Alahim's law) and these are the BRETHREN who once we took sweet counsel together and spiritually walked to the house of Alahim. These are the TRANSGRESSORS come to the FULL.

Ps 55:12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

 13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

 14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of Alahim in company.

 15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

 16 ¶ As for me, I will call upon Alahim; and the YAHUAH shall save me.

Ps 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

 10 But thou, O YAHUAH, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

1Jo 2:18 ¶ Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

 19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.

Alahim paints GT picture in the rules of wicked kings influenced by beast. We read in 

1 Kings 13:1-3 Alahim sends a prophet to prophesy against the altar at Bethel. The name of the prophet is not mentioned but we see this prophet who spoke in the name of the Yahuah being deceived by his own BROTHER a fellow prophet who spoke lies to him causing his death. Before we look at this let's look at the altar at BETHEL. This cry was against the altar in Bethel. Bethel was the same place where Jacob dreamed of the ladder to heaven. Messiah the pattern

Angels of Alahim ascending and descending on Son of Man (You may refer to my study 'Cherubs guarding the Pattern' on this blog). This abominable altar tried to distort Alahims pattern.It was rent by Messiah when he died and measured all those who were appointed to salvation.

The man of Alahim who prophesied against the altar at Bethel came to pass in the days of Josiah the righteous king 

2Ki 23:13 And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.

 14 And he brake in pieces the images, and cut down the groves, and filled their places with the bones of men.

 15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove.

 16 And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the YAHUAH which the man of Alahim proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.

You may refer to the prophesy of the man of Alahim as stated in 1 Kings 3 once again.

1 Kings 13:1-3 And, behold, there came a man of Alahim out of Judah by the word of the Yahuah unto Beth-el: and Jeroboam stood by the altar to burn incense. [2] And he cried against the altar in the word of the Yahuah , and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the Yahuah ; Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer the priests of the high places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee. [3] And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign which the Yahuah hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.

Josiah means Yahuahh heals. This Josiah was a type of Messiah and the prophecy spiritually finds it fulfillment when Messiah builds the tabernacle of David which was fallen down.

Amos 7:8-13 And the Yahuah said unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A plumbline. Then said the Yahuah, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more: [9] And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword. [10] Then Amaziah the priest of Beth-el sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired against thee in the midst of the house of Israel: the land is not able to bear all his words. [11] For thus Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of their own land. [12] Also Amaziah said unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there: [13] But prophesy not again any more at Beth-el: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's court.

Plumb line is measuring line of Messiah and Alahim tells that he will lay waste the high places of desolate and the sanctuaries of Israel waste when he sets the measuring line. Amaziah priest of Bethel tells him not to prophesy in Bethel but to go to Judah. They can't stand the truth from Alahim's word.

Now coming back to the prophet sent by Alahim who prophesied against the altar at Bethel.

This prophet was charged by Alahim not to eat or drink anything at the place where Jeroboam's kingdom was

1Ki 13:7 And the king said unto the man of Alahim, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.

 8 And the man of Alahim said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place:

 9 For so was it charged me by the word of the YAHUAH, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest. 

He went another way and did not return by the way he came to Bethel.

1Ki 13:10 So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.

There was living in Bethel an old prophet. Was this prophet a man of Alahim? If he was, what was he doing at Bethel where the abominable altar stood? No prophet of Alahim would dwell in an abominable place. Moreover with the instruction Alahim gave this prophet who came to prophesy against the altar of Bethel it is evident that Alahim abhorred this place and didn't want his prophet to even eat and drink at this place and yet there was this old prophet living there which shows he was a false prophet like Balaam. He pursued this prophet to deceive him.

1Ki 13:11 ¶ Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of Alahim had done that day in Bethel: the words which he had spoken unto the king, them they told also to their father.

1Ki 13:15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread.

 16 And he said, I may not return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place:

 17 For it was said to me by the word of the YAHUAH, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that thou camest.

 18 He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the YAHUAH, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.

 19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in his house, and drank water.

While the man of Alahim believed this old prophet and went to eat and drink at the table of the old prophet the word of the Yahuah came to the old prophet who prophesied that because he did not obey the word of the Yahuah his carcase will not come to the grave of his fathers.

....thy carcase shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers. 1Kings 13:22 

This man of Alahim when went out met a lion who killed him and his carcase was cast in the way and the ass stood by it and the lion caused no harm to the ass.

1Ki 13:24 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcase was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcase.

1Ki 13:28 And he went and found his carcase cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcase: the lion had not eaten the carcase, nor torn the ass.

This man of Alahim is a spiritual picture of the elect of Alahim who prophesied the word of the Yahuah but were deceived by their own brethren in compromising and fornicating with the whore and we all met the LION (Satan) who caused us to be killed and our carcase lying on the streets not being buried/gathered up to our fathers.

1Pe 5:8 ¶ Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

Re 11:7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

 8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Yahuah was crucified.

 9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 

The 8th beast who rises up from the bottomless pit shall make war and overcome the elect and kill them. How? By their own brethren (through false doctrines) who are now all merry making giving gifts one to another (scoffing and mocking) because the elect have now seen their sin of fornicating with the whore in holding on to false doctrines and are in repentance and mourning. 

Satan causes no harm to his people, no persecution for them. This can be seen from the picture of the lion standing besides the ass and not causing any harm to the ass.

1Ki 13:29 And the prophet took up the carcase of the man of Alahim, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn and to bury him.

 30 And he laid his carcase in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!

 31 And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spake to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of Alahim is buried; lay my bones beside his bones:

The burial of the man of Alahim in the city Bethel in the grave that belonged to the old prophet is symbolic of Mystery Babylon known as Sodom and Egypt where we all lay killed by the beast. The old prophet calls the prophet the man of Alahim "Alas, my brother!'"


 Rev 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city,which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Yahuah was crucified.

Re 17:18 And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

We all fornicated with the whore by the sweet counsel of our Brethren who walked up to the house of Alahim with us.

Da 11:32 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their Alahim shall be strong, and do exploits.

The flatteries of Mystery Babylon are known by us, the craftiness of our brethren exposed. Alas my brother is their deceptive cry.

The Greek Jesus or 'Yahusha' -Video's

The Greek Yahusha or 'Yahusha' is a wonderful exposition on the name which is derived from 'Yahu' the name which is to be memorial throughout all generations.

What one needs to keep in mind is Names shouldn't be translated but transliterated but Satan is a master deceiver and has used languages to change the name of the Messiah to give the world the name of the BEAST called 'Yahusha'. Alahim has 'Dispersed all in Confusion' when placing the foundation stone in the temple and he is the rock of offence/stumbling block to many and that's why many do not understand the name Alahim has given us.

Zep 3:9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the YAHUAH, to serve him with one consent.

In Zephaniah Alahim tells us that he will turn to the people a pure language that they may call upon the name of the Yahuah to serve him with one consent. In simple words the 'Dispersed in confusion' doesn't exist for his elect because they understand his name.

Disclaimer: I do not know what the speaker believes or the doctrines he follows. The speaker is a Messianic Jew from South Africa and I do not agree with Messianic Jews belief of worshiping only the Father and not Yahusha. But this 7 part video ( 10 minutes each) will dispel the confusion in understanding the Messiah's name so relish it readers.

Meaning of transliterate: write or print (a letter or word) using the closest corresponding letters of a different alphabet or language.

"names from one language are often transliterated into another"

The problem lies that men are translating names instead of transliterating and Satan has used this against getting a name not derived from 'Yahu' and has even been behind in changing the name ' Yahu' to Jehovah or Jah in English.

The name Yah was suppressed by adding 'eh' to it by Jews because they feared using 'Yah' and thus you find the names ' Jeshua' as in Ezra, Nehemiah's time which is actually 'Yeshua' and was then adopted in Aaramic

example Nehemiah 3:19

Ne 3:19 And next to him repaired Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, another piece over against the going up to the armoury at the turning of the wall.

English transliterates it by adding 'J'. 

The problem further increased because the name 'Yeshua' was translated into Greek as 'Iesous' in the 3 A.D. (in Koine Greek) and then to Latin 'Iesus' and KJV 1611 used the exact translation from Latin 'Iesus' and you can look up the KJV 1611 edition to see this. There was no letter 'J' until 200 years back and the letter 'J' was the last alphabet to be added to the English language. Post this the 'I' was dropped to add  'J' and thus the name 'Yahusha' came into existence in the modern bibles.

Scoffers

All Messiahians say they believe that one day the Messiah will come in the clouds and every eye will see him and every knee bow and tongue confess that Yahusha is Yahuah to the glory of Alahim the Father. It is one thing to say this and another to display the faith professed by actions in discerning the signs of the times and seeing the testimony from Alahim's word concerning the times of the coming of Yahusha and watching and praying. Many fail to to see the events surrounding his coming and are in the race of all time called SCOFFING.

2Pe 3:3 ¶ Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.

There is a lot of scoffing going around in the world against the elect and this is one of the many signs of the coming of the Messiah.

Jude 1:17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Yahuah Yahusha Messiah;

 18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

 19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

Blogs, forums etc every where you go you will see SCOFFING of people, hurts, insults, hatred, envy, pride etc displayed by those who claim to cling to Messiah.

Off lately since the time I have shared about the events surrounding his coming I have started receiving hateful emails and labels as 'Indian idiot', fool etc my posts as ' Foreign progressive Revelation', 'Shodan D'Souza adopts a real life experience','Shodan speaks but not the truth' etc . My past sins and whoredoms are spoken about (as though I shouldn't be forgiven by the Yahuah) and my judgement taken into their hands by so called Messiahians but are nothing but as Alahim's word says SCOFFERS.

The problem is we are looking at other peoples sins but not within. 'MAN OF SIN' seated in the temple of Alahim is WITHIN and not OUTSIDE. The Man of Sin is within and we are the temple but people see no need for repentance and watching and praying and acknowledging the time of his coming.

Jude goes on to say that these are they WHO SEPARATE THEMSELVES, having not the Spirit Jude 1:19

Yes these have separated themselves as those who are sanctified in Messiah but are SENSUAL, HAVING NOT THE SPIRIT because the Scoffing begins due to the lack of discernment. They just can't see it.

Jude 1:19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

Only Alahim has to open the eyes. 

Ho 4:14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.

Unfortunately many have departed out from churches and feel that they are safe because they see the problem area as the church but not the WHOREDOM WITHIN. They have separated themselves with WHORES and they sacrifice with harlots. Isn't Alahim's word clear as crystal?

Ho 9:10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.

The Yahuah says that he found Israel in the WILDERNESS (as though sojourning) but they actually have separated themselves unto BAAL and to his shame. They think they cling to the Messiah but in reality they are clinging to Baal.Their folly will one day be revealed.

2Ti 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

 8  Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.

 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.

There is a lot of false hating the whore and merry making going on and all these things are written in Alahim's word and yet those warned continue in their scoffing when these verses are right under their nose.

Re 17:16 And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.

In their hatred for truth and their false show that they hate the whore Mystery Babylon they are in reality devouring one and another.

Psalms 52: 1 Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of Alahim endureth continually.

 2 Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

 3 Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

 4 Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

 5 Alahim shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place, and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.

This truly is the sign of the last days. The Children of the flesh have always stood against the children of promise.

Mt 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

Ishmael mocked Isaac. Paul calls this mocking as PERSECUTION

Ge 21:9 ¶ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac.

Ga 4:28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.

 29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.30 Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwoman and her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.

Re 11:9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

 10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

There is a lot of merry making over the dead bodies of the saints not suffering them to be buried in graves for THREE DAYS AND AN HALF

Ps 79:1 ¶ O Alahim, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.

 2 The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

 3 Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

 4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.

 5 How long, YAHUAH? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

Yes this is Alahim's judgment on his elect and we must endure it patiently but at the same time warning the scoffers because who knows a scoffer may turn to the Yahuah ? We were all in it but Alahim delivered us to see the truth.

Jer 34:19 The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerusalem, the eunuchs, and the priests, and all the people of the land, which passed between the parts of the calf;

 20 I will even give them into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life: and their dead bodies shall be for meat unto the fowls of the heaven, and to the beasts of the earth.

The elect stand afar off mourning and weeping for their sin of fornication and the state of those in Mystery Babylon while the scoffers who see no need for repentance continue to scoff and mock them.

Re 18:11 And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more:

The Yahuah himself was mocked at.

Mt 27:41  Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,

 42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him

The apostles were mocked

Ac 2:13  Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

On which side are you friend, with the scoffers or with the children of the Yahuah weeping and mourning over the sins and abominations of Israel?

Job 17:1 ¶ My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.

 2 Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?

Ps 35:14 I behaved myself as though he had been my friend or brother: I bowed down heavily, as one that mourneth for his mother.

 15 But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

 16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

It is sad that most of these scoffers were the very ones who once were our friends, one with whom we took sweet counsel together and they all seemed to walk in the way of truth and they themselves are now become our enemies for speaking the truth.

Ps 55:12 For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:

 13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.

 14 We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of Alahim in company.

 15 Let death seize upon them, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them.

 16 ¶ As for me, I will call upon Alahim; and the YAHUAH shall save me.

Ps 41:9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.

 10 But thou, O YAHUAH, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

We must be patient because the Yahuah is patient. Many a times our heart cries to Alahim for vengeance but then since the Yahuah is tarrying it's because there are those of our brethren yet to be killed as we are. My prayer is that the Yahuah save many scoffers too, they are not resisting us but the Yahuah himself.

Re 6:9 ¶ And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of Alahim, and for the testimony which they held:

 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Yahuah, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

 11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Alahim had confounded the language of men and carnal men can't understand the true revelation of Alahim and His Messiah. At the last trumpet the mystery of Alahim will be finished and all the lies of men will be brought to light.

Hag 2:22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.

Haggai 2:22 says that those that ride chariots(in rule) and the horses shall come down everyone by the sword of his brother. 

These so called brethren think by coming out of church they are safe and they are showing a false hatred towards the whore but don't understand their own whoredoms and the need for turning away from them. They kill with the sword their own brethren.

From Canaan to Babylon

Canaan typifies the rest that Alahim's people enjoy in his presence with Alahim ruling over them and Alahim calls this a land flowing with milk and honey

 Ex 3:8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

Because Israel sinned & rebelled against the Yahuah they were taken into captivity away from the rest that they were to enjoy in Canaan. We know that Canaan stood as a shadow of the true rest Alahim's people would have in the Messiah.

Heb 4:8 For if Joshua had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

 9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of Alahim.

 10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as Alahim did from his.

 11 ¶ Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

We will quickly look at OT Israel in captivity as they stand as an example for our admonishment and we will see their journey from Canaan to Babylon and what is expected out of us in our sojourning.

1Co 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them (Israel) for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.

When Israel was enjoying her Sabbaths in Canaan she made the gods of Babylon her strong hold which is why the Yahuah made them carry away into captivity into Babylon at the hands of Nebuchadnezzar but not without sending them prophets day and night warning them to turn away from their sins.

Jer 35:  [13] Thus saith the Yahuah of hosts, the Alahim of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the Yahuah . [14] The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me. [15] I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them , saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me.

Israel forgot that they were sojourners and pilgrims as all their fathers were and this was the problem for they sought after a WORLDLY REST which most of Messiahians are after, seeking an earthly inheritance and rest. In the pursuit after a worldly rest they sought the rest of pomp and glamour the nations enjoyed and hence they embraced their World religion and forgot the Yahuah their inheritance. The Yahuah alone is our strong hold, a rock of refuge a place of shelter but they trusted in chariots and horses to deliver them from their enemies.

Ps 20:5 We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in the name of our Alahim we will set up our banners: the YAHUAH fulfil all thy petitions.

 6 ¶ Now know I that the YAHUAH saveth his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

 7 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the YAHUAH our Alahim.

 8 They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.

 9 Save, YAHUAH: let the king hear us when we call. 

In the verses I quoted above from Jeremiah 35 where the Yahuah says that he sent prophets early warning them to turn from their iniquity we see a family who in the midst of apostasy were obedient to their father in living the life of a sojourner.Among apostasy all over and whoredoms the sons of Jonadab were sojourners. Please read these scriptures

Jeremiah 35:2-19
Go unto the house of the Rechabites, and speak unto them, and bring them into the house of the Yahuah , into one of the chambers, and give them wine to drink. [3] Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites; [4] And I brought them into the house of the Yahuah , into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, the son of Igdaliah, a man of Alahim, which was by the chamber of the princes, which was above the chamber of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the door: [5] And I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I said unto them, Drink ye wine. [6] But they said, We will drink no wine: for Jonadab the son of Rechab our father commanded us, saying, Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye , nor your sons for ever: [7] Neither shall ye build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any : but all your days ye shall dwell in tents; that ye may live many days in the land where ye be strangers. [8] Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab our father in all that he hath charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, nor our daughters; [9] Nor to build houses for us to dwell in: neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed: [10] But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us. [11] But it came to pass, when Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Syrians: so we dwell at Jerusalem. [12] Then came the word of the Yahuah unto Jeremiah, saying, [13] Thus saith the Yahuah of hosts, the Alahim of Israel; Go and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Will ye not receive instruction to hearken to my words? saith the Yahuah . [14] The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons not to drink wine, are performed; for unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment: notwithstanding I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye hearkened not unto me. [15] I have sent also unto you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them , saying, Return ye now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and go not after other gods to serve them, and ye shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but ye have not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me. [16] Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father, which he commanded them; but this people hath not hearkened unto me: [17] Therefore thus saith the Yahuah Alahim of hosts, the Alahim of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered. [18] And Jeremiah said unto the house of the Rechabites, Thus saith the Yahuah of hosts, the Alahim of Israel; Because ye have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according unto all that he hath commanded you: [19] Therefore thus saith the Yahuah of hosts, the Alahim of Israel; Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me for ever.

The other beautiful aspect of sojourning can be seen in the behavior of the sons of Jonadab. When they heard the army of Chaldeans is coming they sought to flee to Jerusalem (Jeremiah 35:11) because they knew that Alahim's presence was in the midst of his people.They had Alahim as their strong hold. In the midst of living with the Gentiles they obeyed their fathers instruction of not partaking of the pagans dainties and their wine.

On the other hand we see Zedekiah and those with him fleeing Jerusalem towards Jericho and the army of Chaldeans overtook them in the plains of Jericho and they were taken captive by the king of Babylon and Zedekiah's eyes put out. Jericho was a city which was once a place of stronghold and Joshua along with the people of Israel compassed it for 7 days and the walls of the city fell down flat because under the leadership of Joshua the people of Israel trusted in the Yahuah as their stronghold and the city of stronghold couldn't stand before the Yahuah who alone is the stronghold of his people. Here are the verses.

Jos 5:13 ¶ And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?

 14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the YAHUAH am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my lord unto his servant?

 15 And the captain of the YAHUAH'S host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

Jos 6:2 And the YAHUAH said unto Joshua, See, I have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, and the mighty men of valour.

 3 And ye shall compass the city, all ye men of war, and go round about the city once. Thus shalt thou do six days.

 4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark seven trumpets of rams' horns: and the seventh day ye shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpets.

 5 And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.

But we see Zedekiah instead of repenting of his evil deeds fleeing Jerusalem to Jericho

Jer 52:4 And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and pitched against it, and built forts against it round about.

 5 So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

 6 And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the month, the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

 7 Then the city was broken up, and all the men of war fled, and went forth out of the city by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldeans were by the city round about:) and they went by the way of the plain.

 8 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

In the NT Yahusha tells a parable of a certain man who went down from Jerusalem to Jericho and fell among theives

Lu 10:30 And Yahusha answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

This man was heading the wrong way. A way away from Alahim and what happens? He fell among thieves who wound him and leave him half dead. This parable is meant for all elect of Alahim because we fornicated with the whore. We trusted in chariots and horses, we were living aimlessly in this world and not as SOJOURNERS as the sons of Jonadab were. Instead of fleeing to Alahim we were fleeing to JERICHO but the Messiah came along as the GOOD SAMARITAN who washed our wounds and healed us of our sin.

All others who came by did not pity us. First the priest and then the Levite, they all passed by.

Lu 10:31 And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.

 32 And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side.

 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him,

The priest and the Levite were themselves on their way to Jericho but they did not FALL YET but we fell so that we might be picked up by the Yahuah himself. That's the mercy of the Yahuah.

Lu 10:34 And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.

 35 And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee.

The Yahuah is going to come back again and has committed us to the care of the love of Alahim's people where he dwells. He will repay us with everlasting kindness when he returns. We must preach the gospel of truth because out there are many fallen and wounded by the thieves and the gospel of the Messiah will bind up their wounds. 

We don't belong to this world. We are SOJOURNERS here as all our father's were.

Proverbs 23:1-3 When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: [2] And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. [3] Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.

Satan is the ruler through the beastly kingdoms. We are called not to partake of the dainties of the world he offers.

Psalm 141:4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

1 John 2:15-17 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. [16] For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. [17] And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of Alahim abideth for ever.

Psalm 119:19 I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

1 Peter 2:11-12 Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul; [12] Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify Alahim in the day of visitation.

Alahim had pronounced a curse on the one who would build Jericho again

Jos 6:26 And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the YAHUAH, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.

And we see Jericho was rebuilt by Heil who laid the foundation with Abiram his firstborn and set up the gates with his youngest son Segub.

1Ki 16:34 In his days did Hiel the Bethelite build Jericho: he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his firstborn, and set up the gates thereof in his youngest son Segub, according to the word of the YAHUAH, which he spake by Joshua the son of Nun.

The YAHUAH Yahusha alone is our strong tower and the righteous run into that tower and they are safe.

 Ps 61:3 For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy.

Pr 18:10 ¶ The name of the YAHUAH is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe

Only the elect understand the plan of Alahim. In our captivity we have fled to the Alahim of Jacob for our refuge. He is our strong hold and a rock of refuge. All those seeking to save their lives will loose it and all those who loose their lives will save it.

Mt 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

HE is our true REST.

This is the cry of all SOJOURNERS.

Psalms 137: 1 By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.
2 We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.
3 For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.
4 How shall we sing the YAHUAH'S song in a strange land?
5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.
6 If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.
