For
comments or inquiries please write to YEA, P. O. Box 31, Atlanta, TX 75551.
We
have been receiving so many, many positive comments concerning our magazine, as
well as the newsletter. Since our main objective is to declare the truths of
Yahweh, Yahshua, the Word and the Kingdom, would you like to help? I know that
many have told us how much they appreciate the work that we are doing. They go
on to say that they would like to do something to get the word out, but they are
limited as to what they can do. They receive the materials from us and others
also, of course, but are not able to do anything because of a lack of funds,
ability or whatever. I want to share some letters and comments with you and then
suggest some things that you might do.
“Dear YEA, I pray this finds you all living in God’s blessings
through His Christ! I found one
of your magazines in the day room here, and I’ve been deeply
blessed by reading it. So now I’m writing to ask you to put me on your mailing
list. If you have a Bible study and other material that’ll help, please send
them too. Oh yes, if it isn’t too much to ask, I’d love to have one of your
Bibles with the names Yahshua and Yahweh in it, because after reading the
magazine, I want to learn more about your beliefs. I’ll be looking forward to
hearing from you all soon with a blessing for me. Truly Seeking! RSJ/MS.”
“Dear YEA, Greetings to you in the name of Yahshua. My name is S….
W….. And I am currently incarcerated in T.D.C.J. in TX. I am 45 years of age.
I was raised as a Baptist and believed that that was the true religion. I’ve
recently read your “Yahshua’s
Witness Magazine” and a pamphlet “What Is His Name?” Now I have found what
I’ve been missing. His NAME! I’ve always felt that it couldn’t be just God
or Lord! Now I know! Thank you and I pray that Yahweh our Elohim will bless you
with all you need and bless the works that you are doing in His name. Your
pamphlet mentioned about a Mini-Bible study on the name of the Savior. Is this
Bible study free of charge? ( I don’t have any funds to send.) If so, how can
I enroll in it? Could you also add my name to your mailing list? Thank you and I
pray for you all in the name of Yahshua. SW/TX
I have a brother who is a barber and owns his own shop in the Shreveport,
Louisiana area. Recently, he was visiting with us and I asked him if he would
mind placing some of our magazines in his shop. He replied that he wouldn’t
mind. I went to the office, found four or five different issues and brought them
back to him. He began thumbing through them and declared, “This is a good
product!” My own family has never been interested in our faith or what we are
doing, but now I have a brother who is willing to help in distributing our
magazines. Who knows, he may pick up one of our magazines, himself, and begin
reading and learning the truths concerning Yahweh and Yahshua. I pray that such
will be the case.
The Question is, how many, many people are there out there who, if they
found one of our magazines somewhere, would pick it up, read it, and respond as
the two examples above have? Here is what we would like to suggest. If you are
one of those who would like to do something, but are in a quandary as to what
you could do, you could take part in Yahweh’s ministry by placing our
magazines in barber shops, beauty shops, libraries, doctor’s offices,
hospitals, etc. In other words, anyplace where people pause or have to wait
which have magazines available to read.
I found out from my brother that magazines and other publications will
send their products to barber shops, beauty shops and other places free of
charge in order to get exposure. All a person has to do is come in, pick up a
magazine and read one article that hits home and presto!, they are hooked.
Many will subscribe to the magazine so they can have such articles, etc.,
readily available to them at home. After all, aren’t we fishers of men?
Yahshua told His disciples, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men,”
Mt. 4:19.
You may ask, “What about the expense?” I will remind you that one of
Yahweh’s names is Yahweh Yireh (Yahweh will provide). We don’t have to worry
about the expense. Yahweh takes care of us if we are taking care of His business
that He has given us to do. If we have His truths, then He has lighted a light
for us and we need to hold that light up for all to see. Let’s don’t keep
Yahweh’s truths hidden or out of sight. Let’s put them on exhibit before
others and see what Yahweh will do with them. You never know what a carefully
placed magazine, newsletter, etc., can possibly do, but we do know that some, as
evidenced above, have come across them and have been greatly influenced by them.
This could be you. Just placing a magazine before others might be one of the
greatest things you could have ever done. It just might influence someone to
turn, repent, embrace the truth and inherit the glorious coming Kingdom of
Elohim. Just think, something so seemingly small and insignificant could turn
out to be one of the greatest things ever done!
By the way, we would like for you to refer to the small section on page
23 entitled “READER’S COMMENTS” for more information concerning this
opportunity to share with others.
Again, we ask, are you one of those who would like to be involved, but
just don’t know what you could do? Here is your opportunity. WOULD YOU LIKE TO
HELP? JH
Why do the inheritors of the Roman Empire begin the year with January 1st? Anciently, even in Rome, the year began around March-April. The beginning of the year had to do with the Spring Equinox and new moon observance. But this has been changed to the solar, 365 day, year. Why? Read this treatise to discover the truth of the matter.
By Jerry Healan
It is admitted by the Encyclopedia Britannica, 14th edition, Volume 4, "The civil calendar of all European countries has been borrowed from that of the Romans. At the time of Julius Caesar, the civil equinox differed from the astronomical by three months, so that the winter months were carried back into autumn and the autumnal into summer. "Caesar abolished the use of the lunar year and the intercalary month, and regulated the civil year entirely by the sun. With the advice and assistance of Sosigenes, he fixed the mean length of the year at 365-1/4 days, and decreed that every fourth year should have 366 days, the other years having each 365. The first Julian year commenced with the 1st of January of the 46th before the birth of Christ, and the 708th from the foundation of the city." (p. 569)
Who was Julius Caesar and what was the
authority and power invested in him that he could do such a thing? The same
volume of the Britannica has this to say about Julius Caesar, “His family was
of patrician rank and traced a legendary descend from Iulus, the founder of Alba
Longa, son of Aeneas, and grandson of Venus and Anchises. Caesar made the most of his divine ancestry
and built a temple in his forum to Venus Genetrix….Caesar was at once marked
out for high distinction, being created flamen
dialis or priest of Jupiter…When Lucullus assumed the command
of the Roman troops in Asia, Caesar returned to Rome, to find that he had been
elected to a seat on the college of pontifices
left vacant by the death of his uncle, C. Aurelius Cotta…By these means, and
by the lavishness of his expenditure on public entertainments as aedile, he
acquired such popularity with the plebs that he was elected pontifex maximus in 63 B.C. against such
distinquished rivals as Q. Lutatius Catulus and P. Servilius Isauricus.
“But there are signs that in the last six
months of his life he aspired not only to a monarchy in name as well as in fact,
but also to a divinity which Romans should acknowledge as well as Greeks,
Orientals, and barbarians. His statue was set up
beside those of the seven kings of Rome, and he adopted the throne
of gold, the sceptre of ivory, and the embroidered robe which tradition ascribed
to them. He allowed his supporters to suggest the offer of the regal title by
putting in circulation an oracle according to which it was destined for a king
of Rome to subdue the Parthians, and when at the Lupercalia (Feb. 15, 44 B.C.)
Antony set the diadem on his head he rejected the offer half-heartedly on
account of the groans of the people. His image was carried in the Pompa circensis
amongst those of the immortal gods, and his statue set up in the temple of Quirinus with the
inscription “To the Unconquerable God.” A college of Luperci,
with the surname Iuliani was instituted in his honour and flamines were created as priests of his godhead. This was intolerable to the
republicans, to whom it seemed becoming that the victorious commanders should
accept divine honours at the hands of Greek and Asiatics, but unpardonable that
Romans should offer the same worship to a Roman.” (pp. 523-524)
According to Daniel chapter two four
world-ruling kingdoms would arise (vv. 31-43). A prophetic vision was revealed
to King Nebuchadnezzar, which could only be interpreted by the Prophet Daniel
(vv.16-28). Nebuchadnezzar had envisioned an image, which had a head of fine
gold, breast and arms were of silver, his belly and thighs of brass, and his
legs iron with his feet part of iron and part of clay (vv. 32-34).
There is much deep meaning to what is revealed
here which we don’t normally understand by simply reading the account. It
requires much study to reveal the intricate details, but the simple fact of the
matter is that Biblically and historically, the four world ruling kingdoms were
Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome. Our world today is still under the greater
dominion and influence of Rome with some flavorings of Babylon and Persia and
much greater flavoring of ancient Greece. Daniel reveals that there is to be a
fifth kingdom, which will be the kingdom of heaven (vv. 44-45).
While Daniel chapter two deals with a metallic
nature of the kingdoms, Daniel chapter seven deals with a animal nature. Just as
the fourth kingdom of chapter two is followed by the kingdom of heaven, even so,
the fourth kingdom of Daniel chapter seven is followed by the same (Dan.
7:21-22). The Roman Empire is the great and dreadful beast of Daniel chapter
seven. So many people continue to look for a great beast kingdom to arise in the
latter days, but the dreaded beast kingdom has been ruling for quite some time
now.
Notice that a little horn arises in the midst
of the Roman state which overthrows three horns and then proceeds to speak
blasphemies.
How can this be explained? A horn represents
kings. Notice in the above statement that Caesar’s statue was set up beside
the seven kings of Rome. There were seven foundational kings who were considered
to have raised up the Roman Republic. They were Romulus, Hostilius, Ancus
Marcus, Titus Tatius, Numa Pomphilius, Tarquinius Priscus and Servius tullius.
Toward the end of the Republic, a triumvirate (three horns) of Pompey, Crassus
and Julius Caesar were established to rule Rome. These were the ten horns
alluded to in Daniel chapter seven. Julius Caesar overthrew the triumvirate
(three horns) and also the republican system, establishing a dictatorship. This
changed the nature of Rome from a republican state to an empire. Thus, the
little horn overthrew the three horns and the system they were upholding. This
little horn then began to speak great words exalting himself as a deity to be
worshipped. He proclaimed himself to be “The Unconquered God!”
Due to the weakness of the flesh, man dies.
Thus, it is difficult for many to understand the nature of the “little
horn.” Julius Caesar was the “little horn.” Yes, he perished, but the
office of the “little horn” (Caesar) has continued throughout the history of
the empire. Latter day versions of this “little horn” were the German
“Kaiser” (Latin for Caesar) and the Russian Czar (Russian for Caesar).
This “little horn” thought to change times
and laws.
Times, generally in Scripture, have to do with the calendar. Yahweh commanded
Israel, “Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto Me in the year,” Ex.
23:14. Yahweh also commanded Israel to keep His law (Ex. 20:1-17). However, the
“little horn” (Caesar) has instituted his own calendar, times and laws.
With the above history provided, we can
determine that Julius Caesar believed that he was a divine being who, because of
his capacity as a priest of Jupiter in the office of Pontifex Maximus had the power to appoint
times and laws in accordance with his own reasoning. It is now up to us to
figure out how he came up with the appointed year as it stands today.
Anyone with even a mild understanding of
ancient history with its paganism understands that all of the major deities of the nations were first and
foremost sun gods. Mithraism was a religion, which was passed from Persia to
Rome via the Roman General Pompey. Mithras was the sun god of the Persians, but
before this he was the sun god to the pagans of India. According to the Larousse Encyclopedia
of Mythology Mitra and Varuna were brothers. Mitra was the sun
while Varuna was the moon. The Indian Mitra, of course, coincides with the
Iranian Mithras (p. 343).
Interestingly, when the name Mithras is
converted to the Grecian language, the letters with their mathematical
equivalents add up to 365. M = 40,
E = 5, I = 10, Y =
9, R
= 100, A = 1, S =
200 = 365. (Mackey’s Revised Encyclopedia of Freemasonry, p. 9)
There are two other ancient pagan sun deities
whose names also add up to 365. They are Abraxas
of the Basilidians and Belenus
of the Gauls.
Mackey has this to say about Abraxas, “Basilides, the head of the Egyptian
sect of Gnostics, taught that there were seven out-flowings, emanations, or
aeons, from the Supreme God; that these emanations engendered the angels of the
highest order; that these angels formed a heaven for their habitation, and
brought forth other angels of a nature inferior to their own; that in time other
heavens were formed and other angels created, until the whole number of angels
and their respective heavens amounted to 365, which were thus equal to the
number of days in a year; and, finally, that over all these an omnipotent Lord
– inferior, however, to the Supreme God – presided, whose name was Abraxas. Now this word Abraxas, in the numerical
force of its letters when written in Greek abraxas, amounts to 365, the number
of the worlds in the Basilidean system, as well as the number of days in the
year, A,
1…, B,
2…, R,
100…, A,
1…, X,
60…, A,
1…, S,
200 = 365. The god Abraxas was therefore a type or symbol of the year, or of the
revolution of the earth around the sun. This mystical reference of the name of a
god to the annual period was familiar to the ancients, and is to be found in at
least two other instances. Thus, among the Persians the letters of the name of
the god Mithras, and of Belenus among the Gauls, amounted each to 365.
The word Abraxas, therefore, from this mystical value of the letters
of which it was composed, became talismanic or magical.
This was frequently inscribed, sometimes with and sometimes without other
superstitious inscriptions, on stones or gems as amulets. Many of these have
been preserved or are continually being discovered, and are to be found in the
cabinets of the curious.” (Ibid)
Furthermore, Mackey reveals, “Belenus, the Baal of the Scripture, was
identified with Mithras and with Apollo, the god of the sun.” (Ibid, p. 130). Abraxas, Mithras, Belenus and
Baal are all the same deity! Their difference in names simply comes from various
cultures wherein they were worshipped.
This makes it obvious that Julius Caesar’s
chief deity was the sun. Therefore, to make the change from the lunar calendar
introduced by Yahweh to the solar calendar of Abraxas, Belenus, Baal and Mithras
was no problem for him. After all, Psalm 2 reveals the nature of the kings and
rulers of the earth, “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain
thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel
together, against Yahweh, and against his anointed (Messiah), saying, ‘Let us
break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us’,” vv. 1-3.
Even the children of Israel and many of her
kings (both Israel and Judah) had no problem turning to serve and worship the
sun god Baal.
Julius Caesar’s calendar, while appearing to
be very stable, with the additions made by Pope Gregory (who was another Pontifex Maximus, by the way), is deceptive
in nature. In the first place, the word “month” in all languages including
the English is derived from the word “moon.” A month is simply a lunar cycle
which begins with the new moon each month and waxes and wanes from visible
crescent to conjunction. Caesar’s months have nothing to do with the moon at
all. The lunar cycles, which Yahweh commanded to observe, are completely
disregarded.
Another case in point is the very first month
of Caesar’s year. It is named January after the Roman god Janus. Janus was a
god of beginnings and doorways in Rome. The Encyclopedia Britannica
states, “The beginning of the day, month and year were sacred to him….All
gateways, house doors, and entrances generally were under his protection; and
indeed all beginnings; hence his title Consivius,
“sower,” that being the beginning of farm-work. In his capacity as porter or
doorkeeper he holds a staff in his right hand, and a key (or keys) in his left;
as such he is called Patulcius
(“opener”) and Clusius
(“closer”)…In late times he is both bearded and unbearded; in place of
staff and keys the fingers of his right hand show the number 300 (CCC.), those
of his left show the number of the remaining days of the year 65 (LXV.).” (14th edition, Vol. 12, p. 893).
Yahshua
declares that He is the One Who has the keys. He is the One Who opens and no one
can shut and shuts and no one can open (Rev. 3:7). Yahshua proclaims that He is
the Door (Jn. 10:7). All must enter in through or by Him (Jn. 10:9). As a matter
of fact, the Apostle John writes that Yahshua is the beginning (Jn. 1:1-14),
which Yahshua, Himself, declares (Rev. 1:8; 3:14; 21:6; 22:13). This makes
Yahshua the Door, the Porter, the Opener and Closer, the Protector, the Holder
of the keys, the One Who begins the day, the month, the year, etc., etc.
With all this in mind, we must declare that
Julius Caesar, and all Caesars along with all who hold the office of Pontifex Maxumus and their pagan deity Janus
and all pagan deities and their calendars to be thieves and robbers (Jn. 10:1,
8, 10).
The Roman god Janus was always depicted with
two faces. Webster’s New World Dictionary declares that to be
Janus-faced is to be two-faced; deceiving!
Yahweh has declared His calendar and his seasons. His calendar and seasons outline His plan of salvation from beginning to end, but what about Caesars? Julius Caesar was a priest and sun worshipper. His calendar promotes the seasons of paganism. The very beginning of his calendar, January 1st, declares its Janus-faced, two-faced deception.
Pagan sun worship was steeped in the worship of false deities, idolatry and fertility rites. The next special day in paganism is February 14th. Originally Feb. 15th was the Lupercalia. It had to do with the she-wolf that supposedly nursed Romulus, the founder of Rome and his brother Remus. It was a day wherein virgins were purified. Later, the day was switched to the 14th and renamed Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day represents the approach of boys and girls, men and women for the purpose of love.
The next important day in paganism is Easter. Easter is the English name for the Celtic goddess of fertility Eostre who originally was Ishtar. Ishtar annually went to the underworld in order to bring her son/lover /husband, Tammuz back to the surface. Tammuz was a vegetation god who annually died and was resurrected. The Caesars (specifically Constantine the Great), in the office of Pontifex Maximus, syncretized the observance with that of the death, burial and resurrection of Yahshua. Tammuz was also a sun-god.
The event of Ishtar/Easter was celebrated with the worship of the sun as it arose on Ishtar/Easter morning. The day was observed with colored eggs and rabbits, pagan fertility symbols. This represents the fruition of the advances between male and female, which began on the Lupercalia or Valentine’s Day. A child is conceived and is born on the next important day of the year, December 25th.
December 25th is generally nine months after the occurrence of Ishtar/Easter, the day of fertility. December 25th was set as the birthday of the sun around the winter solstice. All of the pagan sun-gods were supposedly born on this day, especially Mithras, Nimrod, Apollo, Horus, etc.
Let’s understand, once again, that Julius Caesar and most of the Caesars that followed him were priests of the pagan idolatrous sun worship systems. Therefore, they understood certain mysteries, which were not revealed to their subjects. The subjects simply followed their lead into the worship of their deities.
Numbers are important to Yahweh as well as paganism. Numbers 1-10 are specifically important as well as 12, 13, 15, 17, 30, 40, etc, etc. If we count from December 25th to the 31st, we will count seven days. January 1st is the eighth day. Remember that the eighth day was important to the Israelites because the male babies were all circumcised on that day.
The mystics teach that "eight" symbolizes man’s ability to transcend the limitations of physical existence. It represents that which is on a metaphysical, divine plane. (The Wisdom of the Hebrew Alphabet by Michael Monk, p. 112) It has to do with divine essence in physical reality. (The Inner Meaning of the Hebrew Letters by Robert m. Haralick, p. 71)
This is exactly what Julius Caesar thought of himself and also his nephew and adopted son Octavian (Augustus) who followed him. As a matter of fact, Octavian deified his uncle/adopted father Julius Caesar so that he, himself, could be proclaimed to be the son of god!
Julius Caesar is the “little horn” of
Daniel chapter seven. He considered himself to be of divine origin through
birth. He was a priest of paganism of the college of pontifices
and held the office of Pontifex Maximus.
He worshipped the sun as his chief deity. He rearranged the calendar, changing
the times (Dan. 7:25). He did away with the originally inspired 12 month (in
some years 13) lunar calendar, replacing it with the 365 day solar calendar in
order to honor his great sun god. The calendar that he initiated is still
employed (with some minor adjustments made by Pope Gregory) in today’s
so-called modern world. It is not only employed on a year-to-year basis, but it
is also employed to project backward and forward in time. It may be in-genius in
certain aspects, but it is very deceptive in its employment and use.
An ancient Abraxas amulet. Notice the serpent
on a pole as well as the “ankh” in his right hand. The “ankh” was the
ancient Egypt symbol for life. The serpent on the pole declares the serpentine
nature of this deity. But especially notice the IAW on the amulet. It appears
that this would represent the word YAO or even YAU (YAHU).
The fourth beast of Daniel chapter seven was
said to be dreadful, and terrible and strong exceedingly (v. 7). “dreadful”
is translated from the Aramaic word “dechal.” It’s Hebrew equivalent is
“zachal.” Zachal has to do with a poisonous serpent (Dt. 32:24).
“Terrible” is translated from the Aramaic word “emtaniy,” which means to
be burly, well-loined, mighty, etc. “Strong exceedingly is translated from
“taqqiyph yattiyr” meaning to be “powerfully redundant.” This has been the
character of the Roman Empire. It is under the influence of the serpent. He has
been one of the strongest of kingdoms or empires outlasting the first three by
millennia. It has been powerfully redundant. So has its calendar.
Because of its great popularity, even those of us in the assemblies who have gone back to the annual Lunar calendar observance and the worship of Yahweh in the seasons He declared, have to utilize it in order to pinpoint the days of Yahweh’s calendar. Doubtless, this will change when Yahshua, the Stone which is cut out without hands, will smite the kingdoms of this world, ushering in the kingdom which will eventually fill the whole earth (Dan. 7:34-35). May Yahweh speed that day!
YAHSHUA’S OWN WITNESS
Yahshua, Himself, witnesses that He is the beginning (resheet/arche), "And unto the angel of the assembly of the Laodiceans write; ‘These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the beginning of the creation of Elohim," Rev. 3:14.
Here is Yahshua declaring that He is the beginning (resheet/arche) of the creation. Aren’t we supposed to believe His words? "For Moses truly said unto the fathers, ‘A Prophet shall Yahweh your Elohim raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; Him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever He shall say unto you. And it shall come to pass that every soul, which will not hear that Prophet, shall be destroyed from among the People’," Acts 3:22-23.
Again, Yahshua witnesses, "It is done, I am Aleph and Tau, the Beginning (resheet/arche) and the End. I will give unto him that athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely," Rev. 21:6. "I am Aleph and Tau, the Beginning (resheet/arche) and the End, the First and the Last," Rev. 22:13.
Yahshua is THAT PROPHET like unto Moses. He has declared that He is the BEGINNING (resheet/arche) of the creation of Elohim. Peter declared that He is THAT PROPHET who is like unto Moses. If we will not hear His voice then we will be destroyed from among the people. Yahshua declares twice more that He is the BEGINNING (resheet/arche). That is at least three times for emphasis.
HOW YAHWEH CREATES
In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth (Gen. 1:1). The Hebrew for "create" is "bara" (arb). Bara is #1254 in the Hebrew Lexicon of Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance. It is defined as, a primitive root; (absolutely) to create; (qualified) to cut down (a wood), select, feed (as formative processes).
Generally speaking, what a word is also translated into also gives another defining effect. Bara is variously translated as, choose, create (creator), cut down, dispatch, do, make (fat).
I would like to focus on these translated words in order to cause us to have a little better understanding as to how Yahweh creates.
The Prophet Isaiah is inspired to ask, "Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? Who hath directed the Spirit of Yahweh, or being His counseller hath taught Him?" Isa. 40:12-13.
Do you get that? Yahweh says that He measured the waters in the hollow of His hand. He has also measured and weighed the dust and mountains in a balance. Now, notice that "bara" has been translated as "dispatch" and also "make fat."
Don’t our modern day scientists proclaim that the creation that we see with out eyes today, began (were dispatched) from some small origin or point in time? Don’t they say that the heavens have expanded to their modern-day proportions and are expanding (making fat) even today?
Didn’t Yahshua say that the Father is an husbandman (another way to say farmer)? "I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman," Jn. 15:1.
Yahshua utilized various analogies in order to describe or get His point across to His disciples and others. In this instance in John 15, He characterizes Himself as a vine. In another place He likens Himself to a grain of wheat (Jn. 12:24). In other places He is likened to a Lamb, etc. The word of the kingdom is also likened to seeds (Mt. 13).
A farmer, anciently, sowed seed by hand. Can we understand that the heavens and earth were originally seeds which Yahweh took in His hand and simply cast them forth (bara—dispatched) to expand (bara—grow, make fat)? After all, He does say that He has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand and has weighed the dust of the earth and the mountains in balances doesn’t He? While I do understand that His hand can be as large as He wants it to be or as small as He wants it to be, the simple fact of the matter is that even according to the scientists, it all started from some local place and expanded, grew or exploded out from where it was to where it is today.
The Psalmist decrees, "Thou sendest forth Thy spirit, they are created (bara): and Thou renewest the face of the earth," Psa. 104:30. It is the Spirit of Yahweh that not only creates, but gives life.
Psalm 33 adds, "Rejoice in the Yahweh, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
2 Praise Yahweh with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
4 For the word of Yahweh is right; and all his works are done in truth.
5 He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of Yahweh.
6 By the word of Yahweh were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear Yahweh: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast," vv. 1-9.
When it says "he commanded," the Hebrew word for commanded is "tsavah," which is defined as, primitive root; (intensively) to constitute, enjoin, but is variously translated as, appoint, (for-)bid, (give a) charge, (give a, give in, send with) command(-er, -ment), send a messenger, put, (set) in order, etc.
What does Psalm 104 say? Doesn’t it say that He sends forth His Spirit and they are created? Doesn’t Psalm 33 add more clarity? He speaks and the combination of His Spirit and Word creates. He sends His Word, sends it (Him) as a messenger by the power of His Spirit and all things are done decently and in order. His Word loves the truth, loves righteousness, and is full of the goodness of Yahweh.
The disbelieving and the wicked may even appear to look righteous. They may set themselves to appear to love Yahweh, His word and His law, but when confronted by His Word of Truth, they will seek every way they can to circumvent His Word of Truth. When all fails, they will seek false witnesses, utilizing falsehoods, lies in order to overthrow and destroy that Word of Truth.
Yahweh sends forth His Word and Spirit and new things are not only created, but He also renews, rebuilds that which can be renewed and rebuilt.
Yahshua, the Word (Jn. 1:1-3, 1 Jn. 1:1-3), Who is also the truth (Jn. 14:6), is always, has always and will always be the One Whom the Father sends to do His creative works and works of renewal.
Yahshua was conceived by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the virgin Miriam which caused Him to have the spirit of Yahweh as a possession throughout His life and when He was baptized by John, He received even more of the power of the Holy Spirit (Mt. 3:16-17, Mk. 1:9-11, Lk. 3:21-22).
CYMATICS
Cymatics is the study of the shape of sound.
The pioneering work of Ernst Chladni (1756 - 1829), showed that sound affects physical matter. Chladni drew a violin bow across the edge of metal plates which were sprinkled with fine sand. Different rates (frequencies) produced certain geometrical patterns.
In the 1960s Dr. Hans Jenny investigated sound vibration, inventing a machine he called the tonoscope. This allowed him to view the physical image, or "dimension" of various sounds, including human vowels and tones. He named this research cymatics. His work has been republished recently in one English volume with many beautiful photographs.
Hebrew, Sanskrit, Egyptian and Tibetan are generally considered to be "sacred" languages, that have the power of shaping reality.
This suggests that by sounding sacred texts, by singing sacred vowels, our cells resonate into a more "coherent" shape, in which our energies are synchronised with those of [Elohim] / Universe / Source.
He observed that the shapes and moving 3D formations produced on the cymatic instrument had great similarities to natural forms, such as various cells from animals, plants and minerals. Perhaps there is an "underlying vibration" in nature, acting as a template to structure the physical world - but the vibration is the reality, not the physical form. This finding is very much in tune with the ideas expressed over centuries by Eastern philosphy - all we see is illusion.
Jenny also found that water could be shaped and exhibited an antigravity effect when vibrated by sound. Since our bodies are mostly water, sounding will effectively restructure the cells of our bodies. (Taken from the Cymatics Internet site.)
The science of Cymaitcs is proof that the physical world is being held together by something greater than itself. That Something greater is Yahshua the Messiah, as the book of Hebrews reveals, "Who (Yahshua) being the brightness of His glory, and UPHOLDING ALL THINGS BY THE WORD OF HIS POWER!" (Heb. 1:3)
The Jewish teachers continue to maintain that the entire creation was created utilizing the Hebrew alphabet. Notice again what is said about sacred texts and vowels, "This suggests that by sounding sacred texts, by singing sacred vowels, our cells resonate into a more "coherent" shape, in which our energies are synchronised with those of [Elohim] / Universe / Source."
The Hebrew alphabet begins with the aleph (a) and ends with the tau (t). Rabbi Michael Munk writes, "In the popular idiom, something that is expressed or analyzed in its entirety is said to be covered d[w plam wyt, from aleph to tav." (The Wisdom in the Hebrew Alphabet," p. 34.)
Again, he writes, "Comprising the first and last letter of the Aleph Beis, ta alludes to completion and perfection. Thus the Torah uses the emphatic article in describing the beginning of creation: arb tySarb xrah taw MymSh ta myhla, In the beginning of God’s creating the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1). This usage alludes to the fact that the universe was created in complete perfection, ‘from aleph to tau’." (IBID, p. 34-35)
Remember that under the heading of "ANALYZING FURTHER" I wrote, "There is also one other Hebrew word or idiom that is added to Scripture which has never been translated into the English which we simply will not address at this time under this heading."
This was the word or idiom that I was speaking of, the aleph and tau (ta).
Let me produce each of the Hebrew words in Gen. 1:1 with its corresponding English so you can get a better picture tyWarb (In the beginning) arb (created) myhla (Elohim) ta (aleph/tau) MymSh (the heavens) w (and) at (aleph/tau) xrah (the earth).
Yahshua proclaimed in the book of Revelation chapter 21, verse 6, "And He said unto me, ‘It is done, I am Aleph and Tau (ta), the Beginning (resheet) and the End…"
I know that the English versions utilize the Greek "alpha" and "omega," but Yahshua would have been speaking the heavenly language, which is Hebrew, not Greek. When He appeared to Paul, He spoke to Him in Hebrew (Acts 26:14).
Yahshua upholds all things by the WORD OF HIS POWER! You are presently being upheld by the WORD OF HIS POWER! The world around you is being upheld by the WORD OF HIS POWER!
This is confirmed in the book of Colossians which states, "And He (Yahshua) is before all things, and by Him ALL THINGS CONSIST," Col. 1:17.
The Greek word for "consist" is "sunistao" which is defined as, to set together, i.e. (by implication) to introduce (favorably), or (figuratively) to exhibit; intransitively, to stand near, or (figuratively) to constitute. The whole creation, including ourselves are introduced by Him, set together by Him, constituted by Him.
The sad thing is that His own creation doesn’t know Him for John writes, "He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not," Jn. 1:10-11.
Do you realize what this means? Many times when I go to prisons and speak to the men, I ask them, What are you doing here? Don’t you understand that you were conceived in the womb and brought forth into this world by Yahweh in order to fulfill His purposes in you and for you?
Wasn’t it Yahweh who opened the womb of the women of old? (Gen. 29:31; 30:22). Doesn’t the Psalmist declare that Yahweh is the One Who took him out of the womb? (Psa. 22:9). Doesn’t the Prophet Isaiah declare that Yahweh formed all of Jacob in the womb? (Isa. 44:2).
The problem with man is that once delivered from the womb, when we mature, we take our lives and live them in accordance to our own purposes and desires. Sadly, we make a mess of our own lives because we fail to subject ourselves to the One Who made us in order to live our lives, heaping it all upon our own lusts. We refuse to realize that He is the One Who brought us forth for His purposes. We refuse to live for His purposes. He Who has been our beginning; the One Who upholds us by the Word of His power; the One by Whom we all consist!
TRUTH
One other thing that I would like to focus on before closing this article. I want to prove conclusively that Yahshua said that He is the Aleph and Tau, not the Alpha and Omega.
Yahshua told His disciples that He was the TRUTH (Jn. 14:6). The Hebrew word for "truth" is "emet." The Hebrew characters are tma. Look at the first and last letters of this Hebrew word. The first letter (remember that Hebrew reads from right to left) is the "aleph" (a) and the last letter is the "tau" (t). The middle letter is the "mem" (m).
It cannot be coincidence that the "mem" (m) is the middle letter of truth for it is also the middle letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It cannot be coincidence that the first letter for truth is aleph (a) and the last letter is tau (t).
The Hebrew letter "mem" (m) is a pictogram for WATER! Water is a type of the SPIRIT, "In the last day, that great day of the feast, Yahshua stood and cried, saying, ‘If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. He that believeth on Me, as the scripture hath said, out of His belly shall flow rivers of living water.’ (But this spake He of the Spirit, Which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Yahshua was not yet glorified)," Jn. 7:37-39.
Furthermore, Yahshua proclaimed, "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship Him. Elohim is Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth," Jn. 4:23-24.
Yahshua would have been speaking Hebrew and would have utilized the Hebrew word "emet" (tma). It is the Spirit (water, mem, m) that leads us into all truth.
Amazingly, the aleph (a) is a pictogram for the head of an ox. The ox was an acceptable animal for sacrifice upon the altar of Yahweh. Upon the sacrifice (a) of Yahshua, the Holy Spirit (water, mem, m) was made available to His disciples as is presented in Jn. 7:37-39 and other Scriptures.
While He hung on the tree, His side was pierced and water and blood poured from it (Jn. 19:34). This water typified the Spirit that was to be given to His disciples, while the blood typified the atonement that we receive through that sacrifice.When one accepts the true sacrifice of Yahshua, repents and is baptized, he is then given the Holy Spirit (heavenly waters) so that He can begin his walk in the truth (tma). Yahshua is the truth being also the Author (a) and Finisher of our faith (t). He is the BEGINNING (resheet) of a new creation in us!
The water (m), the Spirit, will lead us into all truth (tma) from beginning to end.
The Greek word for "truth" is "aletheia." While "aletheia" begins with the "alpha" (a), it also ends with the "alpha." It simply doesn’t carry the same power or character that the Hebrew word for truth does.
The final letter of the Hebrew alphabet is tau (t). The final letter for the Hebrew word truth (tma) is the tau (t). The Tau is a pictogram for a sign, seal, mark or name. Michael Munk says that it is the symbol of truth and perfection. When we accept the sacrifice of Yahshua for our sins (a), repent and are baptized, then we are sealed with the Holy Spirit (m) which marks and or seals us with Yahweh’s name (t).
Truth never changes. The Prophet Malachi testifies, "For I am Yahweh, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed," Mal. 3:6. The book of Hebrews testifies, "Yahshua the Messiah the same yesterday, and to day and for ever," Heb. 13:8. (See also Heb. 1:11-12 again).
The aleph and tau (ta) symbolize completion and perfection. Yahshua is the TRUTH (Jn. 14:6). We are COMPLETE in Him (Col. 2:10). We are made PERFECT in Him (Col. 1:28).
Paul writes that Yahweh has made some apostles, and some, prophets; and some, evangelists, and some pastors and some teachers, for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of the Messiah, till we all come in the unity of the faith, AND OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE SON OF ELOHIM, UNTO A PERFECT MAN, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of the Messiah… (Eph. 4:11-13).
If we have Yahshua, we have the TRUTH (tma). If we know Yahshua, then we know the TRUTH (tma) and the TRUTH (tma) will set us free. HALLELUYAH!!!
CONCLUSION
Yahshua is now, has always been and will always be the BEGINNING (resheet) of Yahweh. He was in the BEGINNING (resheet). He is the WORD OF YAHWEH Whom the Apostle John says was eternal life manifested in the flesh. He made all things, is the head of all things and upholds all things by the WORD of His power. By Him all things consist.
He is the TRUTH. It is through, in and by Him that we will be able to be completed and perfected so that we can enter into the throne room and stand before the Heavenly Father Yahweh.
The Scriptures are written to reveal Him to us. If we submit ourselves to Him, He will be the Author and Finisher of our faith. In Him, we will never fail.
If you are able to understand this article (some will, others won’t), then you need to submit yourself to the truths contained in Yahshua in order to come to the complete and perfect man. He will BEGIN a work in you and will also FINISH it if you will only endure in Him to the end. HalleluYAH!!!!!
Q. I have a question for you
please. Just a question, not second guessing you. You told me when I asked you
about Tzittzim that we no longer need reminders now that we have the Ruach
HaQodesh. Well, what is the reason for keeping Sabbath to remember and honor our
Creator Yahweh? What is the purpose for Passover? To recall the exodus and
saving of he nation of Israel from Mitzrayim. What about the death of the
Messiah? Isn’t it to redeem those of us who apply his dominion? What is the
purpose for the feast of Uneavened Bread? To remind us to clean all leaven which
puffs up from our lives. All these practices we keep are reminders.
A. Here is my answer to this situation. The
command for the Tzitzits was given in order to be a reminder for the Israelites
to remember their covenant that they had made with Yahweh. Yahweh had promised
that if they would promise by their own word to obey Him, then He would greatly
bless them. He commanded them to make Tzitzits in order to remind them of their
promise. Did it work?
“But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was
established upon better promises.
7
For if that
first covenant had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the
second.
8
For
finding fault with them, he saith, Behold,
the days come, saith Yahweh, when I will make
a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah:
9
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I
took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my
covenant, and I regarded them not, saith Yahweh.
10
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those
days, saith Yahweh; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in
their hearts: and I will be to them an Elohim, and they shall be to me a people:
11
And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother,
saying, Know Yahweh: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
12
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their
iniquities will I remember no more,” Heb. 8:6-12.
Notice that the fault was with them because they continued not in His
covenant.
Israel and Judah no longer
can make the promise. The Tzitzits were given to remind them to keep their own
part of the covenant. They were to remind them of their own promise. Their
promise is not a part of the New Covenant, nor is ours. The New Covenant, the
Second Covenant is based upon better promises, because Yahweh is faithful and it
is based upon only His promise.
How is He going to fulfill
His own promise? He is going to put His own Spirit into them and then they will keep His covenant by the
power of the remembrance of the Spirit and not something that is made by the
hands of man. This is supported by the prophecy written by Ezekiel, “Then he
said unto me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold,
they say, Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our
parts.
12 Therefore prophesy and say
unto them, Thus saith the Sovereign Yahweh; Behold, O my people, I will open
your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the
land of Israel.
13
And ye shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves, O my people,
and brought you up out of your graves,
14
And shall
put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in
your own land: then shall ye know that I Yahweh have spoken it, and performed
it, saith Yahweh,” Ez. 37:11-14.
In that day, the covenant between Yahweh and His people Israel will be
fulfilled by the power of Yahweh in them. It will not be fulfilled by the
worthless spirit of man, nor the faithless promise of man, nor by the hand of
man. This is the essence of the New Covenant.
As for the Sabbath, Yahweh commanded it into existence. The seven day week
culminating in the Sabbath rest is a reminder of the power of Yahweh’s own
word and Spirit. What He has commanded and established will continue. It is one
of the ten commandments. He sent His Spirit forth, He commanded and the creation
stood fast (Psa. 33:6-9, 104:30).
The Passover and Unleavened Bread were given to remind the people of the
power of Yahweh, not to remind the people of their own promise and power. He
delivered Israel from Egypt without their own help. What He did was open the
door by His own power and greatness, with awesome plagues, and all they had to
do was walk out, free from the bondage to slavery.
He did command them to slaughter a Passover Lamb, which was a type of
Yahshua. The Passover Lamb was to be sacrificed until the appearing of the true
Passover Lamb, Yahshua. Since that time, we no longer offer sacrifices made by
the hands of man because they were only foreshadows of the one sacrifice of
Yahshua.
The Levitical priesthood was a priesthood of carnal ordinances, washings,
sacrifices, things made by the hands of man. The Melchizedek is a spiritual
priesthood. It is a priesthood that works on the heart through the Spirit and
not a physical, carnal priesthood performed through the works of the spirit of
man and hands of man.
Israel tried many times to go right back into Egypt. With their own spirit
in man, they simply couldn’t trust in Yahweh to deliver them, provide for
them, sustain them. Therefore, no one with only the spirit of man will be able
to enter into the kingdom of heaven, nor the New Covenant. It requires the
Spirit of Yahweh. Let’s look to Him, trust in Him and His work and cease
trying to work things out for ourselves. When we try to work things out for
ourselves, we always get in His way. Let’s let Him do the work and we can
stand aside and watch and give Him the glory. Of course, we are to walk in His
paths, but we walk in those paths through the guidance of His Holy Spirit (Ruach
haQodesh). Then we can glorify Him exceedingly.
Q.
What is the interpretation of
Luke 23:43 (today you will be with me in paradise)?
A. You asked what the interpretation of Luke
23:43 is. Luke 23:39-43 states, “And one of the malefactors which were hanged
railed on him, saying, If thou be the Messiah, save thyself and us.
40
But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear Elohim, seeing
thou art in the same condemnation?
41
And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man
hath done nothing amiss.
42
And he said unto Yahshua, Master, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.
43
And Yahshua said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me
in paradise.”
In order to understand what Yahshua means here, we must review some other
Scriptures. In Matthew 12 we read, “Then certain of the scribes and of the
Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from thee.
39 But he answered and said unto
them, An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no
sign be given to it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas:
40 For as Jonas was three days
and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and
three nights in the heart of the earth,” vv. 38-40.
Yahshua declared that He would be dead, in the heart of the Earth for three
days and three nights. He expired on a Wednesday afternoon, was subsequently
entombed, and on the evening between the Sabbath and first day of the week He
was resurrected back to life again. He ascended into heaven as the sheaf of
firstfruits, the firstborn from the dead in the morning of the first day of the
week (Jn. 20:1-18; Lev. 23:9-14; Col. 1:18). His acceptance as the sheaf of
firstfruits, the firstborn from the dead, began the countdown to the Feast of
Weeks or Pentecost (Lev. 23:15-21), bringing forth the new meat (meal or grain)
offering which was to be the firstfruits of the kingdom (Acts 2:1-3).
Notice that on the night that He was taken, he told His disciples that He
was going away and that His disciples couldn’t follow Him at that time, but
would be able to follow Him in a future time (Jn. 13:33-36). We know that
Yahshua was to ascend into heaven and prepare a place for His people. Once that
place is prepared, He will return so that those who are His will be able to
follow Him wherever He goes. The disciples couldn’t follow Him into heaven
when He ascended (Acts 1:1-11). Peter declared on the Feast of Weeks that even
the Patriarch David, a man after Yahweh’s own heart, hadn’t ascended into
heaven, but was still in the grave (Acts 2:25-36).
The Scriptures make it clear that Yahshua didn’t ascend into heaven until
the first day of the week to be accepted as the firstborn from the dead. This
was on the fourth day after His death and the death of the man to whom He made
the promise (Lk. 23:43).
Let’s look at Lk. 23:43 as rendered in the Interlinear
Bible as directly translated directly from the Greek into the
English, “And said unto him Yahshua, Truly I say to you, Today with Me you
will be in Paradise.” The above research has revealed that something is wrong
with this sentence or there is a contradiction. But with the knowledge that we
have gleaned, let’s change one simple little thing which will change the
sentence. Let’s place the comma that falls between you and Today and place it
between Today and with, “And said to him Yahshua, Truly I say to you today,
With Me you will be in Paradise.”
If we rearrange the KJV rendering, this is what Yahshua truly said,
“Verily I say unto you today, You shall be with Me in Paradise.”
Obviously, someone misplaced the comma, which caused a contradictory
statement to be made. It has also caused a great deal of confusion in the
Christian world. This has caused erroneous teachings to be declared that Yahshua
really didn’t die. Only His physical, fleshly body died. It also causes people
to believe that when they die, the body and spirit separates with the body going
to the grave and the spirit into heaven. If this is true, then why does there
need to be a resurrection of the dead? Why would anyone wish to have a physical
fleshly body again?
Hopefully, this will help you to grasp the real
truth concerning Luke 23:43.
Q. Where is it written that Cain and Able were
twins?
A. While the English version fails to pick up on
it, the Interlinear Bible
renders Gen. 4:1-2 thusly, “And the man knew Eve his wife. And she conceived
and bore Cain and said ‘I have gotten a man (with the help) of Jehovah.’ And
she continued to bear his brother Able.”
Such is the way twins, triplets, quadruplets, etc., are born. The mother
goes into labor and brings forth her first child, but she continues in the labor pangs of birth until the
next child is also brought forth, and the next, etc. Clearly, from the way these
scriptures are rendered in the Interlinear,
Cain and Able were twins. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this
out once the correct wording is discovered.
Q. Do you have some literature on Black African
Jews?
A. Sorry, but no we don’t. We do understand
that Emperor Haille Selassi (sp?) claimed to be a descendant of Solomon through
the Queen of Sheba. We certainly wouldn’t dispute this and this would make it
possible for there to be Black African Jews. Of course, the Scriptures, while
primarily declaring that Yahweh disbursed Israel to the north and west, also
says that they were disbursed throughout the world. In many, many instances,
there has been an intermingling among the nations. Therefore, many people in
other nations possibly have some Israelite blood in their veins.
Q. Was the Virgin Mary born Jewish or Greek
& Latin?
A. According to Scripture,
Miriam was of the lineage of King David (Lk. 3:23-38). In verse 23 we read,
“And Yahshua Himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was
supposed) the son of Joseph which was the son of Heli.” E. W. Bullinger’s Companion Bible makes this notation for
verse 23, “as was supposed
= as reckoned by law. Gr. Nomizō
= to lay down a thing as law; to hold by custom, or usage; to reckon correctly,
take for granted. See Matt. 20:10. Luke 2:44. Acts 7:23; 14:19; 16:12, 27.
Joseph was begotten by Jacob, and was his natural son (Matt. 1:16). He could be
the legal son of Heli, therefore, only by marriage with Heli’s daughter
(Mary), and be reckoned so according to law (Gr. Nomizō).
It does not say ‘begat’ in the case of Heli.”
Both Joseph and Miriam, being
descendants of King David, would be of Jewish (Hebrew) lineage. Miriam was also
Elizabeth’s cousin. Elizabeth was descended from Levi through Aaron.
Therefore, Miriam must have also had part of her lineage through Levi.
The problem that we have in
today’s world is that the overall preponderance of scriptures available
principally to the western part of the world are written in either Greek or
Latin or are translated therefrom. This causes people to become confused
attributing the Savior to be either of Greek or Latin lineage.
The simple fact of the matter
is that the overall preponderance of the New Testament scriptures would have
been written in Hebrew or Aramaic, but because of the denial of Yahshua by the
Jews, the Jewish Rabbis sought to destroy all Hebrew documents. This fact is
recorded in the Talmud where the Rabbis discussed how to destroy the writings
since they contained the sacred name therein. Then when Constantine entered into
the remnant of the assembly, he commanded that all Hebrew documents be destroyed
and also anyone who was found possessing such documents should be tortured and
put to death. Constantine had fifty copies of the scriptures written in Greek
and distributed to the great churches in Constantinople. These two groups
effectively destroyed the Hebrew documents. However, the eastern assemblies were
able to preserve the scriptures in the Aramaic language.
Those
who declare that it isn’t important whether the New Testament was written in
Greek or Hebrew simply don’t understand the implications there. When we begin
to convert many of the phrases and words found in the New Testament into Hebrew,
new light always shines forth.
I am a commandment obeying believer who has just seen the light concerning
the names of our Father Yahweh and His son and our savior Yahshua. I was given
one of your newsletters and magazine as well as some of your pamphlet studies.
It was amazing to me how all of my beliefs were confirmed by Y.E.A. There is so
much “MEAT” to your teachings, that I haven’t stopped studying and reading
since. And Jerry Healan in the May-Aug. YEA Newsletter wrote with an authority
that impressed me beyond measure. Please if at all possible put me on your
mailing list and sign me up for the correspondence scripture lessons. I would be
most honored and privileged to be a part of Yahweh’s Evangelical Assembly. I
write these things in the name of our Messiah Yahshua.
