YHVH the sacred Hebrew name for God…

Exodus 3:14, And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

When Jehovah God commissined Moses as His messenger unto the children of Israel, that they were to be set free from the slavery of Egypt. Moses replied, “And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?” The Lord responded “I AM THAT I AM,” meaning I am what I will be, and I AM everything! This statement from God translates back into the Hebrew as the tetragrammaton (a word with four letters) as YHVH. YHVH pronounced YAH Hoveh, was later deemed too sacred to be uttered by the imperfect man, is a descriptive word of all that what God truly is unto His children who love Him. God is a deliverer as read in the book of Genesis, He is all powerful (Genesis 17:1), God is knowledge (Job 38:39), Eternal (2 Peter 3:8) Holy (Isaiah 6:1-3) and a healer (Exodus 15:26). Anything that you need as a believer is totally within your grasps as long as your Faith is properly placed in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Saviour. Simply ask YHVH in the name of Jesus Christ for more of His divine nature and to open your eyes to His will for your life, and simply believe that HE IS, I AM. Shalom…

The Second Coming of the Glorified Christ…

25 Apr

Revelation 1:14-18, “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”

There is no description in the Holy Bible, (Old Testament or New) that describes just what exactly the Lord Jesus Christ looked like, when He walked the Earth as Man during His Earthly Ministry. The Book of Revelations does however give Us a glimpse, of How The Christ will look like in His second coming at the end of the Church Age. Revelation 1:14-18, describes His head and hair, “white like wool,”(Representing His Majesty and Authority) and having the eyes of “flame of fire,” ( which represents penetrating scrutiny and fierce judgment.) The Second Coming of Jesus Christ will be of Judgement. A Blessing for all who have believed in the finished work that He accomplished at the Cross in the years past. This Coming unlike the First as the Lamb, will be as a lion to finally do away with Satan, and His Fallen Angels and those who follow Him in acts of sin. “And His feet like unto fine brass,” (signifies the Humanity of Jesus although glorified now) and having the voice of “many waters,” (the voice of power.) The Lord will return with all Glory and power that He arose with 2,ooo years ago to pass Judgement, and usher in the New Kingdom Age. John the Revelator fell at the feet of Jesus “as if dead,” due to the authority at which the very presence will have comforting those who have waited so long to be in His presence. Signifying to those who never Believed that Jesus Christ is Lord! We find that comfort in verse 18, which states “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” Christ is stating here that He lives, and will never die again and brings with Him also life. Though He was dead, entered into death (Our death) and finished the sacrifice for all sin and was risen by God and death now is totally defeated! Through Faith in the work of the Cross we entered into this death Spiritually and can now also be alive just as Jesus now is. (Romans 6:3-5) Jesus now has the keys to Hell and Death, and the right now to pass Judgement on all who still carry sin and the separation from God. I pray that all will do their part to spread the Good News of the Cross of Christ to all, Who have ears to hear the Gospel of Christ and Eternal Life…Shalom.

Evolution Theory

21 Apr

5384437

Genesis 2:7, And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

Evolution Theory is the scientific belief of the origin of Man and all life as we know it on the Earth today. Evolutionary thought began around the 6th Century with a Greek philosopher named Anaximander, but really did not take flight as a genuine belief until the 19th century with Charles Darwin. Darwin rationalized that all life forms (human, animal, plant) originated from the same common source. With the “Big Bang,” that some Scientist believe created the universe in its entirety. Life began on Earth as prokaryotes organisms, which inhabited the planet 3-4 billion years ago, eventually morphing into eukaryotes, then endosymbiosis, to mitochondria then to plants, arthopods, insects to amphibians to mammals and now Humans. To many unbelievers living in the flesh, this idea seems plausible but to the elect of God this belief robs Elohim of all His creative ability which Satan has always been trying to do according to John 10:10, The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. Also many things just do not add up. Even with the fact, that much of the Scientific community still have alot of uncertainty as to if this theory really did occur. While all life can be traced back to a single source, with many believing that complex life came from simple life forms, this is not the case with Human Life. According to the publication “Science,” (See MUFON UFO Journal, May 2001, pg. 11) the Human Genome has 223 genes that are not related to any other known life form on the planet, not even chimps as some speculate that we descended from. These very distinct 223 genes are what separate us and makes Human Beings distinct from animals, plants or insects. With no rational conclusion on how Mankind “acquired,” these specific genes leaves only the rational decision that they Humans were created. When many try to understand and prove the existence of a Spiritual God, with and natural mind this is what many come up with, a question mark! If any truly want to understand the existence of Our being, we only have to look to His perfect word, The Holy Bible. Shalom.

There is No! Sinless Perfection in the Flesh…

12 Apr

5277751

Romans 7:21-25, “I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.”

Many Christian Believers (and Non-Christian) operate under the belief that a born again Disciple of Christ should be perfect, Holy and sinless upon the acceptance of the Lord in Our life. This one of the biggest misconceptions about the Christian Faith, that causes many to be critical of the Cross and the finished work of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul the Author of the book of Romans still struggled after His conversion to Christianity, even after being Spirit filled and having seen the Resurected Christ on His way to Damascus (Romans 9.) In actuality the sin nature of man is only made dormant upon being Baptized by the Spirit into Jesus Christ. The Bible reads in Romans 6:12-14, “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. In verse 14, the word dominion (which means rulership) says that sin will no longer control You as it did before, as every though that we had before the Blood of Christ was of iniquity (Romans 7:18.) The Word of God actually says none will be made perfect until the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ as recorded in Philippians 3:21. Being that the flesh is carnal and cannot inherit the Kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 15:50.) This is why The Cross of Christ is so important, even though we inhabit and sinful existence The Blood of Jesus places all who Believe under the Grace of God. That when we do fall at times, we repent and turn from The Sin laying dormant in Our Spirit. This why the Apostle says that after the Cross in Romans 8: 1-4,”There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Christ makes all who are not perfect, perfect based on Our Faith in His finished work on the Cross. The Grace of God however, is not a license to sin knowing that we are not condemned for it, but a reminder that even though we are Saved we are ever so in need of a Savior, and should always look to The Word of God so that we do not fall back and live in the sin that Jesus has freed Us from. So when We in Our own lives, do not sometimes live up to the high standard of Holiness, know that many Believers still sin and as long as we learn from the trials of life Our Faith in a perfect God grants us grace to overcome. Shalom…

Jesus did NOT descend into Hell…

12 Apr

57425

Luke 23: 46, “And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’” Having said this, He breathed His last.”

A very misleading teaching that many Christian Churches adhere to nowadays, namely those of the “Word of Faith” movement is what happened to Jesus after His death. Many believe that the Messiah descended into Hell where He was tortured by Satan until His resurrection.

Many Pastors and Apostles teach that in becoming sin Jesus had to experience every bit of suffering that is due to man because of the sin nature all are born into, with torture at the hands of Satan being included . While this seems like a somewhat relevant teaching it is very untrue. Christ himself said in Luke 23:46, Father into your hands,”I commit my Spirit.” If the Lord said this then His Soul/Spirit ended up in Hell would directly defy the scriptures, and the integrity of Jesus Christ making Him out to be a liar. Let’s not also forget what the Messiah said to one of the two thieves who were also crucified with Him in Luke 23: 43, “And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

The more correct interpretation of where the Lord’s Spirit was taken is Sheol, “the place of the dead, ” or Hades as it is referred to in the New Testament which means the same thing, “the place of the dead.” Sheol is a temporary holding place for those who have passed before the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, a waiting realm for The Great White Throne Judgement, which will take place at the end of this Earth age. Sheol or Hades is a place divided into two regions as read in Luke 16:26, “And besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can those from there pass to us.” The side with those who died in Christ are located in a section called “Paradise” or “Abraham’s Bosom,” and the other is Hades the suffering side of Sheol.

Jesus went to “Paradise,” the side where the Souls of those who had passed from the Old Testament abided and preached the Good News of what He had done at the Cross, and took with Him them those who received the message when He was resurrected days later. Sheol is not Hell. Hell is a future realm that is to come which does not exist as you read this blog now, as stated in Revelations 20:14-15. The suffering on the Cross and physical death was enough to take away the sins of the world with no further punishment needed, only a sacrifice for the sin nature of man. If Jesus went to Hell then God would not have recognized His sacrifice on the Cross as being good, due to the fact Hell is a place where the Souls of the lost are bound due to their refusal of the Gospel of Christ and separated from Him, which Christ never was! 2 Corinthians 5:21, “For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.”

Some misunderstanding of Hell in scripture comes from which translation the reader is using. The King James Version of the Bible is good, but the New King James Version is a better translation to read from, due to the fact over the years Christian Scholars have made more strides in understanding the Hebrew and Greek text and interpreted the scriptures clearer for a better understanding, and to rightly divide the Word of God. Shalom…

Nimrod; Satan’s first Antichrist…

24 Mar

9331239

Genesis 10:8-11, “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

The Word of God is very adamant when it comes to preparing God’s Elect for the coming end times tribulations. One such case is the story of Nimrod the “mighty hunter,” who was the mastermind behind the building of the Tower of Babel and the establishment of the Babylonian Empire. Nimrod was the first recorded individual to establish a universal kingdom, with man made false doctrine to turn many people away from Jehovah God. In His pride much like Satan when He was Lucifer in Heaven, He was lifted up due to His own greatness and accomplishments as read in Ezekiel 28:15-16,” Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.” Though Nimrod was a very powerful ruler who tried to build a Tower into Heaven, God ultimately intervened and caused distortion among His followers giving them different tongues in which they would speak in Genesis 11:5-8. Satan’s plan at this time did not work as in the case of other Antichrist throughout time ( Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander, Napoleon, and many others) He finally will in one man and His number is 666 The Beast. The Beast will establish a great empire of every major super power government, to control the people and have them take His mark (way of thinking) Revelation 13:16-18, “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.” Rest assure that like in every other Antichrist, The Beast will not succeed for the Lord Jesus Christ will intervene to due battle with the Antichrist, and to save God’s true elect from much death and hardships (Revelation 1:14-18). Take heed and preparation in studying the Word of God the Holy Bible, which in many cases proclaims the end times events with the greatest of all being the Second Coming of The Lord Jesus Christ (Revelations 1:13-18). Pay attention to the signs, and keep your Faith securely in The Cross of Christ. Shalom…

The Spirit of Gnosticism…

12 Mar

117791

1 John 4:1-3, Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the.

Gnosticism is a spiritual movement that began around the 3rd century as a negative counter to the Holy Bible, in which the teachers of this Religious movement inverted the story of the Old Testament. The Gnogstics believe that all of Humanity exists in a fallen world created this way by a imperfect god who was banished from the Heavenly realms in a time past. The Gnostic story flips Biblical teaching by making YHVH the one true God of the Bible and turning Him into the false god of this world, in other terms the fallen angel Lucifer Satan. The Heavenly realms seek to free mankind from the curse of living in a tormented existence by sending Sophia a godly deity to Earth who uses the serpent to give us knowledge of who we truly are, creations of the false god who the Gnogstics call “The Ultimate Depth.” Evil Spirits and Fallen Angels are the Spiritual force behind every false god or deity, hoping to receive worship as they once did in Genesis chapter 6 which is stated in Luke 11:24,”When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.” These beings are still constantly trying to receive worship by creating false teachings in which many believe and in return turn themselves over spiritually to Evil Spirits. I do believe that we live in a fallen unjust world but it was not created this way by God the Father, but rather became this way due to sin which was the result of man’s rebellion against the Creator. The Gnogstics teach that Sophia wanted mankind to look within to find God, in themselves to escape this fallen world and in return will be reborn in a more Spiritually mature state. What Gnosticism failed to teach is that in ourselves exists no good thing, that carnal flesh cannot be made righteous and that true salvation comes from Jesus Christ, who entered this world not Sophia to set all of mankind free John 3:16. I ask for all to pray for those who believe this false teaching that they will come into the realization that Jesus Christ is Lord, the righteous of the One true sovereign God YHVH. Shalom…

The Rapture of the Church…

9 Mar

7992639

1 Thessalonians 4: 17, “After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.”

The Rapture which is spoken of in the New Testament of the Holy Bible, refers to the Churches who truly serve Jesus Christ and who will be caught up in the sky to meet the Lord during the tribulation period. The term “rapture,” is not actually stated in scripture when describing this event but is used instead of the term “caught up,”as in The Holy Bible. At this time those who have passed and were in Christ and those who are still living will be given glorified bodies and meet The Christ in the sky 1 Corinthians 15: 52-52, “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.” The Lord Jesus purpose during this is to provide an escape from the coming judgement of God upon the rest of the world who have received the mark of the beast (please read below for more on the mark of the beast) under His new world government. Many Christians should be aware that the Rapture will not occur before the coming of the AntiChrist but after, once He is empowered by Satan Himself, so please be ready. The Bible speaks of these troublesome times in 2 Timothy 3: 1-7, in which our Faith will be tempted but as the Word of God states in Luke 21:28 ” And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.” The tribulation period will be a period of 7 years as stated in Daniel 9:24-27, 3 and one half years of peace then 3 and one half of torment. I believe that it is after the first half when those who are in Christ, will be “caught up,” to receive Our glorified bodies and go with Jesus, returning then after to do away with Satan and His Fallen Angels and sinful world government. During this first period of three and a half years it is expedient that we preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ and Him Crucified so that those who have ears to hear will and be raptured up with Us to meet the Lord in the sky. So do not fear anything when these events begin to unfold in front of Our eyes in newspapers and on television but 1 Thessalonians 4:18 reads, “Therefore encourage each other with these words.” Meaning that Our Lord Jesus Christ is very soon to come, and free all who are in Him dead and alive from the Devil and the bondage of sin! God Bless…

The selection of the Holy Books of the Bible…

2 Mar

5550731

The original “canon,” (books that are Divinely inspired the Holy Spirit) of the Old Testament were arranged by Jewish Rabbis, at the counsel of Gamnia. Their selection process was based upon, (1)the content of each book which had to harmonize with the Jewish Law. (2) Had to have been written between 1450 B.C. and 450 B.C. since Prophetic inspiration was believed to have begun with Moses (1450 B.C.) and ended with Ezra, (450 B.C.) (3) The language of the text had to have been in Hebrew, (4) and the Book must have had been written in the geographical boundaries of Palestine. Any manuscript which met these criteria were included in the original 39 books of the Old Testament. Extra Biblical Books that were written around this time were the “Apocrypha,” or “Pseudepigrapha,” which means false teachings. These books included The Didache, the Epistle of Barnabas, 1 and 2 Clement, the Shepherd of Hermas, the Apocalypse of Peter, and the Acts of Paul. Which did bare some truth but were not believed to have been Divinely inspired by God. At the beginning of the third century 22 new books , (which would comprise our New Testament) became widely accepted. The criteria for the New Testament books were, (1) Was the Book written by an Apostle, (2) Was the content of the book Spiritual? (3) Was the Book received by the Church? And (4) did the text bare witness to Divine inspiration? Which later led to the inclusion of five more books, (Hebrews, James, 2 Peter, 2 John, and 3 John) which became the authorative Holy Bible. Even though the selection process was done by man lets not forget that all scripture is inspired by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21), who even after inspiring man to record the Word of God. Carefully guided each thereafter on selection process for Our study. Be Blessed…

The Holy Spirit, the true author of the Holy Bible…

2 Feb

6274580

2 Peter 1:21, “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”

Many times when discussions about Religion arise people, who believe in a higher power but necessarily don’t know who or what to believe rely on the same question. “Since all of the religions of the world are founded and recorded by men, how do we truly know who is wrong or right? This is actually a really good question, that every person should ask about just who, or what to believe. It is true that all belief systems are written by man, but only one was written by men by way of the Holy Spirit of God. 2 Peter 1:21, states that God used man to manifest His thoughts in the natural world. by way of the Holy Spirit who moved upon Him to do so. This allowed the true knowledge of God to be recorded without being bias to some sin, but rather that all have sinned Roman 3:23. A blind man would not condemn Himself because all men believe that they are righteous in their own mind, but the Bible condemns all Romans 3:10-11, “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.” Letting those know that we are deperately in need of a Saviour which is the Lord Jesus Christ who took our punishment for our sin to the cross and died and arose to show His approval for doing so by God Almighty. So the next time you hear a conversation on just who is wrong or right let them know the Holy Spirit of God is! The best selling Author of all time. Be blessed!
