Mashiyach is calling us to come out of Mystery Babylon and not just an assembly. Mystery Babylon is wickedness and rebellion towards Mashiyach in holding on to abominable doctrines from Hagar which is against Alahym's Torah
One may be out of an assembly and may still be part of Mystery Babylon if he or she is not repentant of false doctrine.The call is to come to repentance from dead works. Getting back to the Abary roots, to the spiritual olive tree Yasharal to be engrafted into it. Shalum
Ps 60:6 ¶ Aluahym hath spoken in his qodesh; I will rejoice, I will divide Shacham, and mete out the valley of Sukkoth.
7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Yahudah is my lawgiver;
8 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe: Philistia, triumph thou because of me.
9 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
10 Wilt not thou, O Aluahym, which hadst cast us off? and thou, O Aluahym, which didst not go out with our armies?
11 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
12 Through Aluahym we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
Measuring line:
1) Shacham
Aluahym dividing
Shacham-the place where Cannanites dwelt and this land was promised land
which Aluahym promised Abraham (v 7 of Gen 12) that he would give to his
seed
Ge 12:6 ¶ And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Shacham, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7 And YAHUAH appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the YAHUAH, who appeared unto him.
Sukkoth means booths and the same word is used for the feast of Yahuah 'Sukkoth':
Ge 33:17 And Jacob journeyed to Sukkoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Sukkoth
Schechem reveals that the Cannanites who dwelt in this place were
driven away to make place for the people of Aluahym (Physically fulfilled
when Yasharal came into the promised land where Yahusha (Joshua) divided their
inheritance by lots).
Sukkoth reveals separation of wheat from the
tares, this is the place where the externally covenanted people are,
where once the elect of Aluahym (Jacob) built the house and dwelt there but
no longer lives there as its now inhabited by the external covenant
people who seem to be blessed with material possessions whereas Aluahym's
people have no inheritance. (This is the outer court where Gentiles are
trampling)
Re 11:2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and
measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city
shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
Pslams 60 defines who belong to him and who do not
Gilead, Manasseh, Ephraim, and Judah belongs to him (elect-Yaqoob I have loved)
Moab, Edom, Philistia are measured out and separated from him (non elect: Esau have I hated)
These same scriptures are mentioned in Psalms 108:7-13 as well.
Ps 108:7 Aluahym hath spoken in his holiness; I will rejoice, I will divide Shacham, and mete out the valley of Sukkoth.
8 Gilead is mine; Manasseh is mine; Ephraim also is the strength of mine head; Judah is my lawgiver; 9 Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I cast out my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph. 10 Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? 11 Wilt not thou, O Alahim, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O Alahim, go forth with our hosts?
12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
13 Through Alahim we shall do valiantly: for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.
The
elect are troubled, there is no one apart from Alahim who will lead his
elect into the strong city. He will tread down our enemies.
Jas 2:13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. James talks about loving your neighbor as thy self and in verse 8 says that this law is a royal law Jas 2:8 ¶ If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: Why was this law royal? To understand this we must understand who is our neighbour. Yahusha illustrated with an example Luke 10: 29-37. The Samaritan who poured oil and wine (symbolic of gospel) into the wounds of the man smitten by thieves (Satan and his fellows) was none other than Messiah who led the front with an example of love and compassion. Heb 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. 17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to Alahim, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people. Ga 5:14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Messiah laid down his life for us and asks us to follow his footsteps. 1Pe 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps: Messiah demonstrated his love for us in pouring oil and wine into our wounds. The Great King emptied himself for us. Because of his great love and compassion he became like one of us and demonstrated that love by dying for us. That is why it is a royal law. All those who follow this royal law are judged by the law of liberty and hence mercy rejoiceth over judgment. Jas 2:12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. Whenever Alahim sent judgments on Israel for their sins he made provision for the atonement for their sin and demonstrated that mercy rejoiceth over judgment.When Alahim sent fiery serpents to bite Israelites for their sin of speaking against Alahim's bread from heaven he sent them fiery serpents. The bread from heaven (manna) represented Messiah which the Israelites loathed and so the fiery serpents but we see Alahim's compassion in asking Moses to make a fiery serpent on the pole and everyone bitten by the snake when he looks at the fiery serpent on the pole shall live. Nu 21:5 And the people spake against Alahim, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. 6 And the YAHUAH sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. Nu 21:8 And the YAHUAH said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. In rejecting the bread of heaven these people rejected Messiah and Paul speaks of this in 1 Corin10. 1Co 10:9 Neither let us tempt Messiah, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Ps 78:25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full What was not revealed to angels (the mystery of Alahim and of Messiah) was revealed to his elect and symbolized by the literal manna from heaven sent to the people of Israel from heaven.Those who understand the mystery of Alahim and of Messiah are the elect who will be judged by the law of liberty and they fulfill the royal law of Alahim by loving their neighbour as their own self. They will pour oil and wine (preach the truth of Messiah/gospel) into the wounds of those smitten by the thief(Satan). This is true love. Jas 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. 1Pe 4:8 And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. This fulfillment of the royal law will cover a multitude of sins. The gospel of Messiah heals those who are stricken by the Devil. Those who loathe the Bread from heaven will find the manna bred with worms in it. They will not find the true and living bread which came down from heaven. The manna that breds worms are the false doctrines like Trinity, Yahusha as creation of Alahim(Jehovah's witnesses), Unitarism which distort the mystery of Alahim and of Messiah. Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of Alahim, and of the Father, and of Messiah; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. 4 ¶ And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. Those who deny that Messiah came out from Alahim and went back to Alahim and is ascended far above the heavens from where he descended are lost in their sins because they do not acknowledge the mystery of Alahim. 1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: Alahim was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Eph 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things. The One and only true and living Alahim whom even the angels did not see as in transcendence no one can see Alahim was revealed to us through Messiah who is the image of the invisible Alahim. Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible Alahim, the firstborn of every creature:
All those denying the mystery of Alahim will be bitten by fiery serpents and those who will find the mercy of Alahim will be the elect who will see the Cross and acknowledge the mystery of Alahim and be saved.
This is in line with my study on David numbered Israel and Alahim's Dividing line/measuring line Da 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. 5 ¶ Then I Daniel looked, and,
behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the
river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters
of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders? 7
And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the
river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and
sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time,
times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the
power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Yahuah, what shall be the end of these things? 9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
1) Daniel is told to shut up the words and seal the book to the time of the end. v 4 and 9 2)
Daniel sees sees two one one this side of the bank of the river and the
other on that side of the river and the one asks the other who was
clothed with linen how long shall it be to the end of these wonders and
the man in linen held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven
and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times
and a half. Cross is the dividing/measuring line and can be seen by the
fact of two(two fold witness-law and the prophets) fulfilled by Messiah
who determines the destiny by his solemn oath that it will be for time,
times and dividing of time. This same picture can be seen in Revelation
10:1-7 The angel who illuminates the earth (by his revelation and wisdom) is Messiah. He
set his right foot upon the sea and left on the earth and cried with a
loud voice and when he cried the seven thunders uttered their voices (7
thunders symbolic of Alahim's complete judgment) and John is forbidden to
write what the seven thunders uttered and is asked to seal it.This same angel sweareth by him who liveth for ever and ever that there is time no longer Rev 10:6
Now what is this all referring to?
Re 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of Alahim should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. The mystery of Alahim being finished. This is the whole vision. 1)
Cross is the dividing/measuring line: Through the Cross the mystery of
Alahim is revealed.(who Alahim is and that Messiah came out from Alahim and went
back to him being ascended high above the heavens)2) The image of Alahim (which was a mystery) was always distorted by
Satan resulting in Alahim's judgments on Israel for their sin and rebellion
in worshiping false Babylonian gods (the Lion) against the true and
living Alahim.3) While the mystery of Alahim was revealed to the elect through the
cross as the dividing line, the mystery Babylon was revealed to the
elect when they saw the Abomination that maketh Desolate. This is
nothing but Satan seated as Alahim in the temple showing himself as Alahim. 2
Thess 2. Satan distorting the mystery of Alahim by false doctrine (pagan
Trinity, Unitarian view, Jehovah witness etc which is his spiritualized
version of paganism). Now let's quickly focus on Daniel being told to seal the book till the time of the end. When did the end time begin?
Peter
on day of Pentecost stood and said that what was happening was as
promised that in the last days saith Alahim ' I will pour out of my Spirit
upon all fles...." Acts 2:17 Alahim has spoken in these last days through his SON. This again shows Messiah as the dividing/measuring line
Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 1Pe 1:20 Who(Messiah)verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
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. This mystery of Alahim is revealed through Messiah the measuring line
Col 1:26 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 27
To whom Alahim would make known what is the riches of the glory of this
mystery among the Gentiles; which is Messiah in you, the hope of glory: The last times/days began with the Cross as the center point
and that's the whole vision of Daniel to seal the book till the time of
the end and furthermore what the seven thunders uttered was forbidden to
be written as it was sealed and only the one who swore by him who
liveth for ever and ever would reveal it as there was time no longer.
David numbered Israel 2 Sam 24:1-25. Why was it a grievous sin to number Israel?
In the same account in Chronicles we read 1Ch 27:23 But David took not the number of them from twenty years old and under: because the YAHUAH had said he would increase Israel like to the stars of the heavens.
David did not use the measuring line as per instruction of Alahim.
David forgot that Alahim was the great king and he was only a servant in
the house of Alahim and only at the hands of Alahim it was required to number
Israel not through will worship. Moses had also numbered the house of
Israel but at the instruction of Alahim. The purpose was every man give a
ransom for his soul unto the Yahuah that there be no plague when they
are numbered.
Ex 30:11 ¶ And the YAHUAH spake unto Moses, saying,
12 When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their
number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the
YAHUAH, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them,
when thou numberest them.
Ex 30:13 This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that
are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a
shekel is twenty gerahs an half shekel shall be the offering of the
YAHUAH.
14 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the YAHUAH.
David tried to imitate by not measuring those twenty years old and
below(only those above) but not with a purpose of every man giving a
ransom unto the Yahuah. The ransom is symbolic of sacrifice of Messiah
which is the measuring line.
Ezekiel saw a vision of this:
Eze 40:3 And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.(in Chapter 42 we see can read about him measuring the temple)
Zechariah also saw Messiah with a measuring line: Zec 2:1 ¶ I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.
In David's measuring there was no ransom paid. Later when he repented on
instruction of Gad the seer he offered the ransom as per Alahim's
measuring line.
2Sa 24:17 And David spake unto the YAHUAH when he saw the angel that
smote the people, and said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done
wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? let thine hand, I pray
thee, be against me, and against my father's house. 18 ¶ And
Gad came that day to David, and said unto him, Go up, rear an altar
unto the YAHUAH in the threshingfloor of Araunah the Jebusite.19 And
David, according to the saying of Gad, went up as the YAHUAH commanded.
The Angel who revealed to John the revelation of Messiah had the golden
reed to measure the city. This angel unfolding these revelations to
John is sent by to show that Messiah is the one who alone measures the temple with his dividing
line(ransom).
Re 21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
The language is symbolic and we read John is given a reed like unto a
rod to measure but there is no record of John doing the measuring.
Re 11:1 ¶ And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and
the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of Alahim, and the
altar, and them that worship therein.
2 But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it
not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they
tread under foot forty and two months.
He thrusts in the sickle to separate the wheat and the tares. The land will be divided by line:
Am 7:17 Therefore thus saith the YAHUAH; Thy wife shall be an harlot in
the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be divided by line; and thou shalt die in a polluted land: and Israel shall surely go into captivity forth of his land.
La 2:8 The YAHUAH hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion: he hath stretched out a line,
he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the
rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together.
Ps 78:55 He cast out the heathen also before them, and divided them an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
David's sin was symbolic of pride of a human king for determining his
strength and he did not look at the people of Israel as the people who
were subject to the great king Messiah. Only Messiah can measure and
draw the line because he is the one who harvests (thrusts in the sickle
of judgment to gather and to scatter).David was given 3 choices of
judgment but he chose to be in the hands of the Yahuah who is merciful
and not fall in the hands of man. There was a plague for 3 days where
70 thousand people died in Israel.
3 days:
Joh 2:19 Yahusha answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up
Joh 2:21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
Yahusha death is the measuring line which separates the elect from the
non elect(those who profess that they belong to Messiah). He is the
refiners fire and fullers soap. He is the rock of offense and the
stumbling block.
Isa 8:14 And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling
and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and
for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
It is dangerous to fall in the hands of Messiah
1Pe 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an
holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to Alahim by
Yahusha Messiah.
.....1Pe 2:7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto
them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the
same is made the head of the corner,
Those professing Messiah verbally will not be able to stand before
Messiah's measuring line. It is impossible to measure his temple by man.
When Jerusalem is struck with the plague/judgment the elect are also
affected because they were part of the same bundle with the tares,
fornicating and doing things which are abominable but in a way it is
the mercy of the Yahuah that he has placed the dividing line so that we
are not judged along with the world.
The death of Messiah is the measuring line of man's destiny and only he
will determine who will be measured into his temple and who will be in
the outer court trampling the holy city.
Revelation 13:9-10 If any man have an ear, let him hear. [10] He that leadeth into
captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must
be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the
saints.
Messiah became captive for us by descending into the lower parts of the
earth. He has the key of hades and of death . Notice in Revelation 3:9
if any man have ear let him hear. Our captivity is identified with
Messiahs (we are identified by his death). Sword (remember Yahusha tells his
disciples to carry swords in garden just before his death). He tells
Peter he who kills with the sword will be killed by it. He was numbered
with the transgressor's (Isaiah 53:12).
The one who captivated Israel for their sin was Alahim and one who killed with the sword
of judgement was Alahim. Now he(Alahim) who captivated and killed with the
sword went through captivity and sword himself to redeem Israel to give a ransom himself. His own arm brought Israel salvation.
By his captivity he led captivity captive and gave gifts to men (freedom).
Ephesians 4:8-10 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity
captive, and gave gifts unto men. [9] (Now that he ascended, what is it
but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
[10] He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all
heavens, that he might fill all things.)
Let him who has ears let him have ears. Those identified with Messiah will suffer tribulation jus as he did.
Eph 4:30 , 2Corin 1:22. The sealing of elect and binding and loosing of
Satan is synonymous. Rev 7. The 4 winds loosed after elect are sealed.
The strong man was bound by stronger man Messiah. To the elect he is
bound and this is the reign of 1000 years that elect have( forever).
Satan is loosed/his wound is healed in a sense that the measuring line
has determined who belongs to Messiah and who to Satan. Jacob I have
loved and Esau I've hated. So Satan uses Esau to persecute Jacob.
Ishmael to Isaac.
Galatians 4:29-30 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.
This is all because of the measuring line. Satan sees the hedge (Alahim's ownership on Job, this shows Job was sealed and Satan knew it) as it was
for Job and couldn't harm him because of it and needed Alahims permission.
Job is an example of the elect who suffer tribulation and distress. It seemed to Job that Alahim had hidden his face from him but in all his affliction Alahim was with him. Yahusha said that the bridegroom will be taken from them and then they
will fast (his face hidden). This is our sanctification that we may be
worthy of his kingdom .
1 Peter 4:1 Forasmuch then as Messiah hath suffered for us in the flesh, arm
yourselves likewise with the same mind: for he that hath suffered in the
flesh hath ceased from sin;
He is the refiners fire purifying his children that we may stand besides him as the gold of Ophir
Isaiah 13:12-13 I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the
golden wedge of Ophir. [13] Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the
earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Yahuah of hosts,
and in the day of his fierce anger.
The true church is likened to gold of Ophir. Job is an example of what will become of us and just as his end was better than his beginning even
so with us. More later.
On the lines of Rev 13:9-10. Yahusha said he is not come to bring peace but a sword. From now on father will be against his son.
This 2 edged sword (Logos) has proceeded to bring in the dividing line.
Alahim made light to shine out of darkness and separated the light from
darkness and call the light day and the night darkness. We are children
of light not of night. Great tribulation : Pray that your flight be not in winter or Sabbath day for then there will be GT as never was.
Winter is harvest time and he who sat on the cloud thrust his sickle to
gather and to scatter. Sabbath again is day of rest for Alahim people but
unrest to those with the mark of the beast.
Revelation 14:11 KJV
And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they
have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and
whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
The flight in Winter or on Sabbath day is the Day of the Yahuah when alas it will be too late. That's why scriptures warn us ' Today if you will hear his voice harden not your hearts'. Satan knows his
time his short when he sees Messiah s seal on us. He chases us as a thorn
in our flesh.
In all this we will be victorious. National Israel was a type and we are part of the Israel of Alahim. What happened with them physically happens to us spiritually.
Just as Satan tried to make Israel sin by making them believe in false
gods and only those who were not Israel but were Jews by name fell even
so now. The dividing line determines this.
Time, times and dividing of time of Daniel is also stated as 42 months
of Gentiles treading under foot the holy city and three years and six
months(no rain when Elijah prayed James 5:17)
These are not literal years but are symbolic of entire periods of
judgments where Alahim set his measuring line to DIVIDE his people from
those who are not. 42 months: Judges 12. Men of Ephraim(tribe of Israel) came against
Jephthah(judge-a type of Messiah) and they were slain of them forty and
two thousand.
Rev 13:5 the beast was given a mouth speaking great blasphemies and he was given power to continue forty and two months.
2 Kings 2:24 Elisha curses the children who mock him and two she bears
come out of the wood and tear the children. Elisha again a type of
Messiah and the number 42 shows the judgment period. These children were
from Bethel (place where Jacob dreamed of ladder going to heaven) 2
Kings 2:23
Ge 31:13 I am the Alahim of Bethel, where thou anointedst
the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee
out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
Three years and six months: Lu 4:25 But I tell you of a truth, many
widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, when the heaven was shut up
three years and six months, when great famine was throughout all the
land;
There were many widows but Elijah(type of Messiah) was sent only to one widow. Again shows dividing line.
Jas 5:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he
prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth
by the space of three years and six months.
Time, times and dividing of time: Da 7:25 And he shall speak great
words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most
High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into
his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
This is the same period where it says that the saints were given into
Satan's hands for time, times and dividing of time. There seems to be a
contradiction when we read the woman representing elect is nourished
for time and times and half a time from the face of the serpent. But
when we understand the measuring line of Messiah we understand that time
and judgment is always part and parcel of a believers life. We are
persecuted by Satan and in Great Tribulation but at the same time Alahim
protects us and nourishes us while we are near Satan's throne.
Re 12:14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
Re 2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's
seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith,
even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
The entire body of Messiah goes through Great Tribulation. This is not a
privilege only to end time believers as Harold Camping and company
have always portrayed or even for a matter of fact Tony Silva. They
don't see the dividing line/measuring line of Messiah which divides the
wheat from the tares in every generation.The term time, times and
dividing of time shows that the Logos pierces time with his two edged
sword to divide asunder the spirit soul and body ,the thoughts and
intents of men's heart that determine who are HIS and who are not HIS.

angels were created and the son has created everything that was created
--- we then must consider ; we are missing something here .End Quote
Knowing who Messiah is was a mystery and it was hid since the beginning
of the world in Alahim (Divinely planned within himself). Alahim is invisible
and all things were made in perspective of Messiah who is the image of
the invisible Alahim. Here are some scriptures to consider which teach that
the manifold wisdom of Alahim is made known by the church to the
principalities and powers in heavenly places (Angels in ranks or
authority)
Eph 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace
given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches
of Messiah; 9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery,
which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in Alahim, who created
all things by Yahusha Messiah: 10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in
heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of Alahim,
11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Messiah Yahusha our Yahuah:
The angels understand the mystery of Alahim through the work of Alahim in the church in revealing who Messiah is
1Pe 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto
us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them
that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
Yahusha in being externalized from Alahim (came out from Alahim John 16:27, John
17:8) became like his brethren in every way because it pleased him to
be like his brethren in every aspect. In this lowly form (made little
lower than the angels as Psalms 8 teaches) for the first time the angels
would see their creator and hence the declaration
Heb 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of Alahim worship him.
If the angels already knew who their Alahim was then this declaration would
not make any sense as they would have seen Messiah creating them as
Eternal Son as Trinity doctrine teaches and all these scriptures would
mean nothing. The Mystery was unfolded through the revelation of who
Messiah is. He is Alahim in immanence, both of angels and mankind and beasts
etc.
All things were made through him and for him: Both in heaven and on
earth which makes him firstborn over all creation that he may be
pre-eminent.
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible Alahim, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that
are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or
dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him
Creation is attributed to him in transcendence when Alahim planned within himself
that he would manifest to his creation in being face to face with his
creation. The Light of the knowledge of the glory of Alahim through the
face of Messiah.
2Co 4:6 For Alahim, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of Alahim in the face of Yahusha Messiah.
Moreover Paul speaks about this mystery of Alahim. He says that the mystery of godliness is great
1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: Alahim was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Notice the words 'seen of angels'. Prior to this angels did not see
their Creator as Alahim in transcendence dwells in an unapproachable light
1Ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which nothing (oudeis) can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
We also see Paul speaking of the mystery of Alahim's will which he purposed
in himself that in the fulness of time he might gather together in one
all things in Messiah both in heaven (angels) and all things on earth
(man, beast, kingdoms etc)
Eph 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 That
in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in
one all things in Messiah, both which are in heaven, and which are on
earth; even in him:
The whole family in heaven and earth is named/related to Alahim the Father
through Messiah who sits as the visible image of the invisible Alahim on
Alahim's throne forever and ever.
Eph 3:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
1Pe 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of Alahim; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
The angels are made subordinate/subject to Messiah when their understanding is opened to see Messiah as their Alahim in immanence
Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in
love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of Alahim, and of the Father, and of Messiah;
Finally coming back to 1 Tim 3:16 Alahim was manifest in the flesh (Word
was made flesh), justified in the Spirit: The Word justified is not in
the literal sense of he being made righteous as we are but being
rendered in the Spirit ( as the Quickening Spirit 1 Corin 15:45, 2 Corin
3:17) and seen(signifies an earnest but more continued inspection) of
angels which ties up with the verse where Peter speaks of angels
desiring to look into the revelation of who Alahim is through the work of
Alahim through his church.
1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: Alahim was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
The real question is why would the angels worship anyone but Alahim alone? What does that make the Son if He is to be worship?
There is a large debate on the interpretation of this passage. Don't you
find it interesting if the Son is before all things and is instructed
to be worship, but did not know when the day or hour. Perhaps, He did
not know during His incarnate state, but listen what the disciple said
about Him.
Joh 16:29 His disciples said to Him, "See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech!
Joh 16:30 Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from Alahim."
All things would include His second coming.
Because He was made flesh..i.e. became human. As all humans grow, they learn.
If the Son is before all things, what does that tell you? If the Son created, what does that tell you? Or do you deny Scripture?
Define "always internal to Alahim."
all4him,
The John 16:29-30 passage you quote to prove that Yahusha had Eido
(inherent knowledge) is the most pitiable interpretation you Trin folks
have. Sometimes you say Phil 2 that the Son emptied himself and from
eternal Son became Son of man and then also quote passages to teach he
was both Alahim and man when on earth (hypostatic nature)
I will answer my questions from what the Bible teaches us:
1) Why did Alahim have to declare to angels to worship the Son when he
brought his first begotten in the world? They would have already have
known him as the Eternal Son
Because there was no Son before the incarnation. The angels got the
revelation of who their Alahim was by looking at the work of Alahim through
prophecy and it's fulfillment. That is the declaration " Let all the
angels of Alahim worship him"
1Pe 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto
us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them
that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven;which things the angels desire to look into.
Alahim is invisible and before the incarnation Alahim in transcendence was dwelling in an unapproachable light
1Ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man
(oudeis) can approach unto; whom no man(anthropos) hath seen, nor can
see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
Oudeis: means not even one or nothing
anthropos; means man/human being
The verse should read 1Ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in
the light which nothing (oudeis) can approach unto; whom no
man(anthropos) hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power
everlasting. Amen.
The angels saw their Alahim in immanence in Messiah just as we see. There was no eternal Son and hence the declaration.
2) Why did the Son not know the day and the hour?
3) Why was there a need for the Son to grow in Alahim's wisdom and need for
him to be connected to Alahim through prayer and fellowship? He is eternal
Son na, always internal to Alahim???
In incarnation the Son was not hybrid but completely Mortal. In
Externalization he was emptied of Eido and hence was externally
connected to Alahim through fellowship with him. He had his own rational
soul, spirit and body.
1Jo 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Yahusha Messiah is come in the flesh is not of Alahim: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
He was not immortal in flesh. if he was then he could never have died.
All Messiahians confess Yahusha is come in the flesh but 99% Messiahians
deny he came as mortal and this is what John means, he who denies Messiah
came as a mortal that spirit is antichrist.
Heb 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren,
that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things
pertaining to Alahim, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
By making him hybrid you Trins disqualify him to be the LAMB of Alahim
because scriptures teach he became like his brethren in all things. ALL THINGS
In the days of his flesh His knowledge, Wisdom and understanding came from Alahim through being externally connected to him.
Re 2:8 ¶ And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;
The worst Trin interpretation I have heard is that Yahusha died in his
human nature and in his Divine nature he was alive in heaven and after 3
days his spirit entered his body and he raised himself up. The loop
holes in Trin theology is clearly visible.
The truth is for our sake because he loved us he externalized himself to
be face to face with creation in a visible image. He came out from Alahim
and went back to Alahim (John 16:27, John 17:8). He is now the Quickening
Spirit as the last Adam. The visions Isaiah and Ezekiel saw of him is
fulfilled as he sits on Alahim's throne as the Son.
Alahim within himself planned his Divinity be manifested through a visible
image. 2 Corin 4:6 shows us the revelation of the divine utterance " Let
there be light"
In him was life and the life was the light of men.
1Jo 1:1 ¶ That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which
we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands
have handled, of the Word (Logos) of life;
2 (For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness,
and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was
manifested unto us)
John uses the Word Logos because this was a MYSTERY which is now
revealed through the Son who is the Logos of Alahim made flesh. You are
right that he introduces the Son but the context you are saying is
wrong, John was not teaching an Eternal Son/ trinity.
Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in
love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of Alahim, and of the Father, and of Messiah;
1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: Alahim was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Notice the words 'seen of angels'. Angels were seeing their Alahim in immanence when it was revealed to them who their Alahim is.
Even the angels did not know the MYSTERY of GOD and it was revealed to
them through prophecy through the prophets and apostles just as it was
to the church.
No Trinity, no Eternal Son

Hi,
Knowing who Messiah is was a mystery and it was hid since the beginning
of the world in Alahim (Divinely planned within himself). Alahim is invisible
and all things were made in perspective of Messiah who is the image of
the invisible Alahim. Here are some scriptures to consider which teach that
the manifold wisdom of Alahim is made known by the church to the
principalities and powers in heavenly places (Angels in ranks or
authority)
Eph 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace
given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches
of Messiah; 9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery,
which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in Alahim, who created
all things by Yahusha Messiah: 10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in
heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of Alahim,
11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Messiah Yahusha our Yahuah:
The angels understand the mystery of Alahim through the work of Alahim in the church in revealing who Messiah is
1Pe 1:12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto
us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them
that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into.
Yahusha in being externalized from Alahim (came out from Alahim John 16:27, John
17:8) became like his brethren in every way because it pleased him to
be like his brethren in every aspect. In this lowly form (made little
lower than the angels as Psalms 8 teaches) for the first time the angels
would see their creator and hence the declaration
Heb 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of Alahim worship him.
If the angels already knew who their Alahim was then this declaration would
not make any sense as they would have seen Messiah creating them as
Eternal Son as Trinity doctrine teaches and all these scriptures would
mean nothing. The Mystery was unfolded through the revelation of who
Messiah is. He is Alahim in immanence, both of angels and mankind and beasts
etc.
All things were made through him and for him: Both in heaven and on
earth which makes him firstborn over all creation that he may be
pre-eminent.
Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible Alahim, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that
are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or
dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him
Creation is attributed to him in transcendence when Alahim within himself
that he would manifest to his creation in being face to face with his
creation. The Light of the knowledge of the glory of Alahim through the
face of Messiah.
2Co 4:6 For Alahim, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of Alahim in the face of Yahusha Messiah.
Moreover Paul speaks about this mystery of Alahim. He says that the mystery of godliness is great
1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: Alahim was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Notice the words 'seen of angels'. Prior to this angels did not see

1Ti 6:16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which nothing (oudeis) can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
We also see Paul speaking of the mystery of Alahim's will which he purposed
in himself that in the fulness of time he might gather together in one
all things in Messiah both in heaven (angels) and all things on earth
(man, beast, kingdoms etc)
Eph 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10 That
in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in
one all things in Messiah, both which are in heaven, and which are on
earth; even in him:
The whole family in heaven and earth is named/related to Alahim the Father
through Messiah who sits as the visible image of the invisible Alahim on
Alahim's throne forever and ever.
Eph 3:15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
1Pe 3:22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of Alahim; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
The angels are made subordinate/subject to Messiah when their understanding is opened to see Messiah as their Alahim in immanence
Col 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in
love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of Alahim, and of the Father, and of Messiah;
Finally coming back to 1 Tim 3:16 Alahim was manifest in the flesh (Word
was made flesh), justified in the Spirit: The Word justified is not in
the literal sense of he being made righteous as we are but being
rendered in the Spirit ( as the Quickening Spirit 1 Corin 15:45, 2 Corin
3:17) and seen(signifies an earnest but more continued inspection) of
angels which ties up with the verse where Peter speaks of angels
desiring to look into the revelation of who Alahim is through the work of
Alahim through his church.
1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: Alahim was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Messenger how did the Father send the Son if no Son existed?
hope thus helps,
Civic,
How is a Son born into this World? In the same way. The Son did not pop down from heaven LOL. He was born through the virgin birth.
Alahim's breath inseminated the Logos into the seed of the woman and the holy one born through her was called the Son of Alahim
Lu 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of Alahim.
Do you know the need of a SON?
If you understand these terms in scripture and their relation to usward will you understand the need of a Son
'firstborn over all creation' 'firstborn from the dead' 'firstborn among many brethren' 'firstfruits of them who slept'
Messiah is all this as a SON so that we be ADOPTED as sons of Alahim
Ro 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father
Ga 4:6 And because ye are sons, Alahim hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Yahusha was not an adopted Son. He naturally called his Father as 'Abba Father'
Mr 14:36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.
I/We can relate to Alahim only through His Son. That's why Alahim planned within himself that he would externalize himself to be immanent to his creation through a visible image and Messiah is our immanent Alahim.
Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O Alahim, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.
Now think for a moment, your doctrine of Trinity states that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all Alahim then why had Alahim to declare only to the Son " Thy throne O Alahim is forever and ever..."
Why not to the Holy Spirit " Thy throne O Alahim is forever and ever.."?
That's because Alahim planned within himself that his Divinity be manifested bodily as stated in Col 2:9 'theotes bodily' so that he could reconcile/enjoin his creation to himself through His Son.
2Co 5:19 To wit, that Alahim was in Messiah, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation
Scriptures show 'immediate creation' 'mediate creation' and 'pro-creation'
Immediate creation and mediate creation is a CREATION. Something made out of nothing.
Adam was immediate creation. Alahim's breath into him made him a living soul Gen 2:7. Let Us in Gen 1:26 is not Alahim conversing with his Son but Alahim planning within himself his Divinity bodily (Eph 1:11). In simple words Alahim is making means of man to be related to him through an image.
Ro 8:29 ¶ For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Alahim's WISDOm/LOGOS is personified because the Logos was externalized finally to be the Son through whom Alahim would relate to mankind. 'Let Us' is Alahim's Logos who was externalized figuratively/prophetically speaking of the SON through whom the creation would relate to himself. Since the Logos and the SON are coterminous and the eternalness of the Logos is the eternalness of the Son it was as though the SON was present at creation because all creation was for HIM. BY HIM ALL THINGS CONSIST.
You cant have the cart before the horse and that's what Trinity does by making the Son an eternal SON.
'Mediate creation'
Alahim's breath was sufficient to create life through a SEED when he said "Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth"
Ge 1:28 And Alahim blessed them, and Alahim said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
So when a husband and wife come together the life that Alahim breathed into the seed brings forth life in combination of the biological properties of the parents and thus a child is born.
One is born again by the incorruptible seed of Alahim
1Pe 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word (Logos) of Alahim, which liveth and abideth for ever.
If Messiah is the firstborn-the REAL SON---I FOLLOW HIM because scripture says that he is the firstborn among many brethren. I am born again through the LOGOS made flesh in me. Messiah in ME the hope of Glory.
Col 1:27 To whom Alahim would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Messiah in you, the hope of glory:
This proves that Alahim's substance was manifested for distribution and not multiplication.
Logos was made flesh and dwelt amongst us John 1:14 I am born again by the same Logos of Alahim (Messiah in me the hope of glory)
1Jo 3:9 Whosoever is born of Alahim doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of Alahim.
Messiah is the SEED. The LOGOS made flesh.
He took not on him the nature of angels but the SEED of ABRAHAM. He is the FIRSTBORN not the ETERNAL BORN as you Trins teach.
Finally 'PRO-CREATION' : The SON was not created but was existent as the LOGOS. John 1:14 And the Logos was made flesh and dwelt amongst us.
He was very much present in the 'immediate creation as I showed you ' Let us' (As a CREATOR) He was very much present in the 'mediate creation' as I showed you 'SEED' and the 'FIRSTBORN' ( AS A CREATOR) He is very much present in his 'pro-creation' (AS A CREATOR humbling himself and becoming part of HIS CREATION)
Heb 2:12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. Quote from the prophetic Psalm 22:22 Heb 2:13 And again, I will put my trust in him. And again, Behold I and the children which Alahim hath given me. Isaiah 8:18
ITS ALL ABOUT HIM. THIS IS HOW AND WHY THE SON WAS SENT
Looking at Brass serpent in wilderness those who saw it were healed of the poison of the serpents, while we see this account as salvation account it fits more in elect fornicating as Israel did by asking meat in the wilderness (eating and drinking), they despised the true bread that came down from heaven (manna symbolic of Messiah the true bread that came down from heaven)
Joh 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
Nu 21:5 And the people spake against Alahim, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.
6 And the YAHUAH sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.
Nu 21:8 And the YAHUAH said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.
Nu 21:9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
What does this brazen serpent stand for?
The brazen serpent is Messiah in human nature different from us as he is sinless but he is identified with us serpents. He was numbered with the transgressors.
Mr 15:28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the transgressors.
We are like serpents bringing out deadly poison
Ps 58:4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear;
Ps 140:3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.
John the Baptist called those who came to be baptized of him as generation of vipers (those not chosen by Alahim)
Lu 3:7 Then said he to the multitude that came forth to be baptized of him, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?
Adopting his (Messiah’s) nature we are saved from the wrath of Alahim, from the poison of our own natures which secrete the poison to destroy us. Also the poisonous gospels which cause us to rebel against Alahim and sin against Him brings Alahims wrath but Messiah as our mediator saves those who look unto him for help.
What happened to Israel was an example for us
1Co 10:5 But with many of them Alahim was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 ¶ Now these things were our examples, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.
7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.
9 Neither let us tempt Messiah, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.
10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.
11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come.
Have we fornicated and lusted after flesh despising the manna from heaven? This is a question which we need to ask ourselves.
Taking up serpents, drinking deadly was the true gospel trampling the false one but in our human nature we were/are exploring wickedness by which we were/are deceived by false gospels and false doctrines and we think we are doing Alahims service as stated in Mark 16:17 to 18 by venturing into the forbidden.
Mr 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
The new tongues represent the true gospel which was sent forth as a Great Commission from Messiah through his apostles. We went out venturing false deadly gospels not testing what we hold with Alahim’s word but inspite of this it didn't harm us becoz of our brazen serpent who was lifted up to draw his elect to him.
The locusts from bottomless pit (place of being alienated from Life of Alahim where angels who sinned were confined to chains of darkness) with scorpion stings have always tried to harm the green (elect) but Messiah our brazen serpent has gulped all our abominable sins on the cross by taking the punishment of our nature on himself.
2Pe 2:4 For if Alahim spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
Hebrews 2 says the it behoved him to be like his brethren in every way, he didn't take on him the nature of angels(elect messengers) but the seed of Abraham(fallen messengers)
,In every way he identified with us but sinless.
Heb 2:16 For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham.
17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to Alahim, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Messiah is the one to lead us as he led Israel through the great and terrible wilderness protecting us from the scorpions, serpents who come to bite us, it’s time we examine every doctrine we hold testing it with a fiery test to see if it’s true lest we be bitten by the serpent in the wilderness.
De 8:15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint;
1Co 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Messiah
Man is so carnal that he doesn’t understand the symbolisms of Alahim’s word and twists it to suit his own theology; one such example is that this same brazen serpent which Moses had made was worshipped by Israel for many generations until Hezekiah broke it in pieces. They did not know or see what this brazen serpent represented.
2Ki 18:4 He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.
Joh 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
Tradition at face value reading of scriptures has always deceived people into thinking of the two witnesses in Revelation 11 are Chanuk/Enoch and AlaYah/Elijah because according to them they bodily ascended into the heaven and it is prophesied about AlaYah that before the coming day of Yahuah he will send AlaYah/Elijah the prophet.
Mal 4:5 “See, I am sending you Ěliyah the prophet before the coming of the great and awesome day of יהוה. Mal 4:6 “And he shall turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with utter destruction
This was a prophecy which was fulfilled when Yahuchanan/John the Baptist came in the same Ruach of AlaYah/Elijah
Luk 1:16 “And he (Yahuchanan the Baptist) shall turn many of the children of Yisra’ĕl to יהוה their Elohim. Luk 1:17 “And he shall go before Him in the spirit and power of Ěliyahu, ‘to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,’ and the disobedient to the insight of the righteous, to make ready a people prepared for יהוה.”
Yahusha ha Mashiyach confirmed that he Yahuchanan the Immerser/Baptist was AlaYah the one who was prophesied to come
Mat 11:13 “For all the prophets and the Torah prophesied till Yoḥanan.
Mat 11:14 “And if you wish to accept it, he is Ěliyahu who was about to come.
Mat 11:15 “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
Then what about AlaYah ? Did he ascend into heaven bodily? Does scripture teach that he was taken up in a whirlwind to heaven?
2Ki 2:1 And it came to be, when יהוה was to take up Ěliyahu to the heavens by a whirlwind, that Ěliyahu went with Elisha from Gilgal.
The Abary word for 'heaven' is shamayam. This same word is used in Genesis 7:3, "birds also of the heavens," with Genesis 7:23, "birds of the heavens’’
Since AlaYah could not have gone to the heaven of Alahym's throne, then to which heaven did he go? He was not taken to Alahym's heavenly throne (as some imagine). He was actually taken into this earth's atmosphere which is also called the heavens. There could be no whirlwind in any other place but in the atmosphere surrounding this earth.
What was the reason for this unusual act of Alahym? Why did he take Alayah up into the atmosphere? Was it to make him immortal? No! The Scripture says no word about that! In Hebrews 11:13,39, we read about the prophets who lived by faith and died without receiving the promises.
Heb 11:13 In belief all these died, not having received the promises, but seeing them from a distance, welcomed and embraced them, and confessed that they were aliens and strangers on the earth.
Heb 11:39 And having obtained witness through the belief, all these did not receive the promise
Notice what the prophets tell Alaysha about AlaYahu
2Ki 2:3 And the sons of the prophets who were at Bĕyth Ěl came out to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that יהוה is taking away your master from your head/rosh?” And he said, “I also know, be silent!”
The Abary word Rosh means head/captain/first in rank and hence it means that he was replacing the office of AlaYah in fulfilling his work for which he was sent for and giving that office now to Alaysha. So AlaYah was not to be made Immortal, for that would give him pre-eminence above Yahusha because the scriptures testify that only Mashiyach representing man is immortal and first born over all creation (Col 1:15) and first born from the dead (Col 1:18).
So where did AlaYah go?
This has been the perplexing problem to so many. He did not ascend to the throne of Alahym Also, notice in 2 Kings 2: 3 and 5 that the sons of the prophets knew AlaYah would be taken away by Alahym in advance. They believed that AlaYah was going to be taken to another location, which is why they were fearful that the Spirit of Alahym might have dropped him "upon some mountain, or into some valley" (2 Kings 2:15-17).
2Ki 2:15 And when the sons of the prophets who were from Yeriḥo saw him, they said, “The spirit of Ěliyahu rests on Elisha.” And they came to meet him, and bowed to the ground before him.
2Ki 2:16 And they said to him, “Look, there are fifty strong men with your servants. Please let them go and search for your master, lest the Spirit of יהוה has taken him up and cast him upon some mountain or into some valley.” And he said, “Send no one.”
2Ki 2:17 But they pressed upon him till he was ashamed, and he said, “Send.” So they sent fifty men, and they searched for three days but did not find him.
The new king of Israel was another son of Ahab, Yahuram/Jehoram. The beginning of his reign marked the year of his replacing AlaYah with Alaysha when AhazYahu died (2 Kings 1:18 and 3:1)
2Ki 1:18 And the rest of the acts of Aḥazyahu which he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl?
2Ki 3:1 And Yahuram son of Aḥaḇ began to reign over Yisra’ĕl at Shomeron in the eighteenth year of Yehoshaphat sovereign of Yehuḏah, and reigned twelve years.
We see the replacing of the head/rosh in that the people now recognized Alaysha as in the office of the prophet carrying on the legacy of AlaYah whom he served.
2Ki 3:11 And Yehoshaphat said, “Is there no prophet of יהוה here? Then let us inquire of יהוה through him.” One of the servants of the sovereign of Yisra’ĕl then answered and said, “Elisha son of Shaphat is here, who poured water out on the hands of Ěliyahu.”
In the fifth year of Yahuram king of Israel, the son of the king of Judah began to reign along with his father in Judah (2 Kings 8:16). His name also was Yahuram. The first thing he did to establish his kingdom rule was to put his relatives to the sword lest they should claim the throne from him (2 Chronicles 21:4). For nearly six years he followed the ways of the nations about him and did evil in the sight of Alahym.
2Ki 8:16 And in the fifth year of Yahuram son of Aḥaḇ sovereign of Yisra’ĕl – Yehoshaphat was sovereign of Yehuḏah – Yahuram son of Yehoshaphat began to reign as sovereign of Yehuḏah.
2Ch 21:4 And when Yahuram had risen up over the reign of his father and made himself strong, he slew all his brothers with the sword, and also others of the heads of Yisra’ĕl.
Almost ten years had now expired since AlaYah was taken from the people. After this wicked rule by the king, Alahym chose AlaYah to write a letter and have it sent to the king! The contents of the letter are found in 2 Chronicles 21:12-15.
2Ch 21:12 And a letter came to him from Ěliyahu the prophet, saying, Thus said יהוה Elohim of your father Dawiḏ, “Because you have not walked in the ways of Yehoshaphat your father, or in the ways of Asa sovereign of Yehuḏah,
2Ch 21:13 but have walked in the way of the sovereigns of Yisra’ĕl, and have made Yehuḏah and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim to commit whoring like the whorings of the house of Aḥaḇ, and also have slain your brothers, those of your father’s household, who were better than yourself,
2Ch 21:14 see, יהוה is going to strike with a great blow among your people, your children, your wives, and all your possessions,
2Ch 21:15 and you, with many sicknesses, with disease of your intestines, until your intestines come out because of the sickness, day by day.”
From the wording of this letter, it is clear that AlaYah wrote it after these events had occurred, for he speaks of them as past events, and of the diseases as future, Two years after the king became diseased the king died, having reigned only eight short years (2 Chronicles 21:18-20).
2Ch 21:18 And after all this יהוה plagued him in his intestines with a disease for which there was no healing.
2Ch 21:19 And it came to be in the course of time, at the end of two years, that his intestines came out because of his sickness, and he died in great pain. And his people made no burning for him, like the burning for his fathers.
2Ch 21:20 He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Yerushalayim, to no one’s regret, and passed away. And they buried him in the City of Dawiḏ, but not in the tombs of the sovereigns.
This proves that the letter was written about ten years after AlaYah had been taken to another location by the whirlwind. Alahym used AlaYah to convey the message because he was the prophet of Alahym in the days of the present king's father, and the son was not going in the ways of his obedient father, Yehosophat. This letter proves that he was alive someplace else. The Scriptures does not reveal how much longer AlaYah lived after writing the letter, but it does say that it is appointed for all men to die once (Romans 5:12,14, 1 Corinthians 15:20-23, Hebrews 9:27). AlaYah definitely didn’t write the letter from heaven , did he?
An incident similar to AlaYah took place in Acts 8:39,40. Philip was caught up into another location, as AlaYah was, and was transported to another location approximately 30 miles away.
Act 8:39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of יהוה caught Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, for he went his way, rejoicing.
Act 8:40 Philip, however, was found at Ashdoḏ. And passing through, he brought the Good News in all the cities until he came to Caesarea.
Another similar incident happened to Ezekiel, in which the spirit took him away (Ezekiel 3:12).
Eze 3:12 And the Spirit lifted me up, and behind me I heard the sound of a great rumbling voice, “Blessed be the esteem of יהוה from His place,”
The spirit lifted him up "between the earth and the heaven" and brought him "to Yarushalam to the door of the inner gate" (Ezekiel 8:3). Afterwards, the spirit took him up to Chaldea (Ezekiel 11:24).
AlaYah may not have been found because he was transported further away than the fifty men searched (2 Kings 2:17)
And, as far as being taken into heaven where Alahym's throne is, we can know that neither AlaYah nor Chanuk nor Masha were taken into Alahym's heavenly abode, because Yahusha said, while he was on this earth, that "no man has ascendeth to heaven" (John 3:13), and "No man has seen Alahym at any time" (John 1:18).
Now let’s come to Chanuk/Enoch:
Some people believe that Chanuk/Enoch did not die but was taken directly to heaven where Alahym is. But, Chanuk eventually died, as all humans die. How can we know? The emissary Paul mentioned the circumstances associated with Chanuk in Hebrews 11:5, along with other men of faith, and then stated: "These all died in faith, not having received the promises" (Hebrews 11:13). Yes, Khanuk died, and he did not receive the promise of heaven (verse 16) at the time the book of Hebrews was written.
Heb 11:16 But now they long for a better place, that is, a heavenly. Therefore Elohim is not ashamed to be called their Elohim, for He has prepared a city for them.
Gen 5:24 And Ḥanoḵ walked with Elohim. Then he was no more/Ayan, for Elohim took him.
H369 אַיִן Ayan : As if from a primitive root meaning to be nothing or not exist; a non-entity; generally used as a negative particle: - else, except, fail [father-] less, be gone, in [-curable], neither, never, no (where), none, nor (any, thing), not, nothing, to nought, past, un [-searchable], well-nigh, without
The Abary word ‘Áyan’ doesn’t mean he was taken to heaven but was taken into nought which is physical death. He simply did not exist on earth anymore as the definition of ‘Ayan’ also means ‘not exist or a non-entity’.
Hebrews 11:5
Let’s look at the word to word translation of Heb 11:5 from Abary to English
Ba (In) Amunah (belief) Chanuk (Enoch) labalatay (Lab: heart and this should be translated ‘in his heart) rautu (did see) ayanu (not) hamuth (the death) kiy (because) laqach (took) atu (alaph tau uau) Alahym (Elohim) uhauad (he had the witness) alayu (from above) lapanay (before his face) halaqachu (before he was taken) kiy (that) at (alaph tau)-HaAlahym (the Alahym) hatahlak (he walked)
In English: In belief Chanuk in his heart should see not the death because took (alaph tau) the Alahym he had the witness from above before his face, before he was taken that (alaph tau) the Alahym he walked.
In simple English: In belief Chanuk in his heart did not see death because before(alaph tau uau)Alahym took him he had the witness from above before he was taken that hewalked withAlahym.
Vast difference between a word to word translation and the traditional biased translation which uses the english word translated for laqach which means took and omits lab (the heart) in which he did not see the second death because he walked with Alahym.
Genesis 5:21-24 says that Chanuk’s days, alive on Earth, ended at 365 years old. The question is, did he die, was he taken to heaven alive, or was he transported to another location on Earth?
Let us examine the bold phrase in Genesis 5:24, where it says, "And Chanuk walked with Alahym: and he was not (ayan); for Alahym took him" and compare the same Hebrew phrase in:
Psa 37:36 Yet he passed away, and see, he was not (ayan); And I sought him, but he was not found.
Psalms 37:36 speaks of the man who was not existent as he was dead and he could not be found.
Psa 39:12 “Hear my prayer, O יהוה, And give ear to my cry; Do not be silent at my tears; For I am a stranger with You, A sojourner, as all my fathers were.
Psa 39:13 “Look away from me, That I might brighten up, Before I go away and am no more/ayan.”
Now you decide, you want to believe the lies of tradition or the truth from Alahym’s dabar?
Gen 42:13 And they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Kenaʽan. And see, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more/ayan.”
Gen 42:13- here Yoseph’s brothers assumed their brother Yoseph was dead as they had sold him to the Midianites when he was yet young. But the usage of the word ‘ayan’ shows a non existence/non entity as in one who is dead.
Matthew 2:18, "In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not/ ayanu."
Where were Rachel's children? Dead.
The Psalmist said Psa 89:48 What man would live and not see death? Who rescues his life from the power of the grave? Selah.
This showed the Psalmist believed there NO MAN who would not SEE DEATH. Was he not aware of Chanuk? Of course he was because the Psalmist unlike the traditionalist believed Chanuk died and did not believe he was immortal.
Based on Hebrews 9:27, "And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:" and Hebrews 11:13, "These all died in faith, not having received the promises," we must conclude that Chanuk died the first death but did not see the second death in his heart for he walked with Alahym.
To believe Chanuk did not die is to deny the plain word of many other scriptures as well. For example, Romans 5:12, "...so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned" and Romans 5:14, "...death reigned from Adam to Masha, even over them that had not sinned." Are we to believe that Chanuk did not sin? Are we to believe that the man Chanuk was greater than Yahusha who was the only first born from the dead and immortal?
At the age of 65, Chanuk had a son named Methuselah. But how long did Chanuk walk with Alahym?
Genesis 5:22, "And Chanuk walked with Alahym after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters."
So, Chanuk followed Alahym’s ways for three hundred years. Notice that the Scripture does not record that Chanuk is still walking with Alahym, for if he was immortal today then he would be still walking with Alahym, wouldn’t he? It says that Chanuk WALKED with Alahym for three hundred years, and not one year more. Why? Because "all the days of Chanuk were three hundred sixty and five years" (Genesis 5:23).
Paul says, in Colossians 1:10, "That ye might walk worthy of Yahuah."
Chanuk walked with Alahym and pleased Alahym. This is what Genesis 5:22,24 means when it says "Chanuk walked with Alahym."
1 Corinthians 15:20-23 says that all die and all shall be resurrected, but Mashiyach must be first in the order. Chanuk could not possibly have preceded him, especially if he were still flesh and blood as it says in verses 49-52.
The Transfiguration :
The only remaining texts that puzzle people are those relative to the appearances of Masha and AlaYah on the Mount of Transfiguration with Yahusha (Matthew 17:1-9, Mark 9:2-10, Luke 9:28-36). After the Transfiguration, Yahusha said, while leaving the mountain, "Tell the vision to no man" (Matthew 17:9). Yahusha calls the transfiguration a vision! A vision is not a material reality, but a supernatural picture observed by the eyes. In the case of the transfiguration it was a prophetic vision which would take place in the future. Peter, James and John saw the Son of Man glorified in the Kingdom through a prophetic vision. Here are other examples:
Acts 16:9, "And a vision appeared to Paul in the night; There stood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, saying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us." This also is something that was to happen in the future.
Was this a real man from Macedonia who cried for help in Paul’s vision? It’s an imagery.
Both Masha and AlaYah were still in their graves, but in vision both they and Yahusha were seen in glory of the resurrection in a vision as Moses represents the Torah and AlaYah the prophets and both the Torah and the Prophets uphold Mashiyach.
There cannot be any doubt that Moses died and was buried (Deuteronomy 34:5-6).
Deu 34:5 And Mosheh the servant of יהוה died there in the land of Mo’aḇ, according to the mouth of יהוה.
Deu 34:6 And He buried him in a valley in the land of Mo’aḇ, opposite Bĕyth Peʽor, and no one knows his burial place to this day.
Therefore, for him to have been in heaven while Yahusha was still in the flesh, Masha had to be resurrected from the dead, receive eternal life, and "put on immortality" (1 Corinthians 15:53). But the Scriptures are clear that Yahusha had to be the first one to be resurrected to eternal life. 1 Corinthians 15:20, "But now is Messiah risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept."
If anyone preceded Yahusha, then he wasn't the firstborn from the dead.
Job 14:12 and man shall lie down and not rise. Till the heavens are no more, they awake not, nor are aroused from their sleep.
