A LETTER FROM A FORMER MUSLIM SAYS IT ALL!!!
It is amazing how Yahweh
works! I had written and determined to include with this magazine the article
entitled You Must Become A Hebrew.
This was primarily to deal with the Greek and Latin influence on the modern day
Christian believers. But, of course, it also includes all influences of other
flavors all around the world. Then we received this letter from a brother who
had been a Muslim, but upon reading the Torah, his mind was changed. We have
posted his letter below and encourage you to not only read it, but also read the
article mentioned above. The truth is so refreshing and powerful!
YAHWEH
SHALOM!
Dear
Yea, Aug. 18, 2009
I am writing to ask for your magazine & studies. I may be getting out
of prison soon. I am waiting for the decision to be made. If I do leave, I will
be sure to send you my home address.
I am waiting to be baptized. Our times to do so are limited. I was a Muslim for about 14 years. I prayed 5 times
every day in here and on the outside. In 2005 I was wrongfully convicted after
being accused of drug dealing by a prejudiced narcotic’s officer who now is being investigated for
KKK materials in his locker in Philadelphia, PA.
Anyway, about 10 months ago I left Islam after having no choice but to
face the fact that Yahweh is the Creator’s name, that Hebrew is the father
language of all, especially Semitic languages. So I thought…..how did (Allah)
speak to the first man Adam in Arabic when Hebrew was before
Arabic & also it is factual proof that the first scriptures (that
even the Muslim’s believe in) were revealed in Hebrew.
Also, the main things is the covenant Yahweh has with Abraham &
Isaac. When speaking about Ishmael...Yahweh said it will be through Isaac that His promised covenant will be.
When we read the scriptures, we will come to know that Muhammad
(Islam’s prophet) is an Arab and the Arabs came from Ishmael, from Kedar who
is Ishmael’s 2nd son.
Yahweh said He would make Ishmael a great “nation” and no doubt the
Arabs are a great nation. However, Yahweh said it will be Isaac who He will have
His covenant/promise with, the seed of Isaac….all this leading to the Messiah,
our lamb, to receive salvation.
So dear brothers and sisters, this is info I found for myself
through reading….Yahweh led me to it.
You know, there is a Hadith (a story in Islam) that talks about how
Muhammad came upon one of his companions named Umar (Who was the 2nd Caliph)
& Muhammad’s face became red & filled with anger when he saw Umar
reading a copy of the Torah. Muhammad said: “What are you doing?!!!” Umar
said: “Just reading the Torah.” Muhammad said: “I swear by Allah! That if
Musa (Moses) were alive today, he would have no choice but to follow me!”
So I ask, Why would Muhammad not want Umar to read the Torah? A book of
Allah? (Really Yahweh).
TRUTH WILL ALWAYS PREVAIL! That’s Why!
He feared people would accept the truth….LIKE ME!
I leave you with shalom! Write when able. Be safe.
Benyah Jarret
P.S.
I will be waiting for your magazine and studies.
What a powerful testimony and in such few words! Look not only at the
Torah, but the book of Isaiah and the New Testament in the book of Hebrews.
Yahweh says that His covenant is with the houses of Israel and Judah. We are so
happy that this brother did dare to read the Torah and encourage all of our
brothers and sisters wrapped up in Islam and any other religious system to do
the same. It will save your life!!!!!
TAKEN FROM THE ARAMAIC ENGLISH NEW
TESTAMENT (APPENDIX PP. 1055-1056)

While it is true that Iesous became the Greek substitute for Yehoshua (Greek
Septuagint translation of the Tanakh), it is also true that the Greek language
is very capable of reproducing the name of Yehoshua (Y’shua) with exact sonic
pronunciation. However, an etymological link evolved between Iesous, Zeus, and
Jesus, pronounced: Ie-soos, Zoos; and Jee-zuhs. Regardless as to whether one recognizes sonic similarities or not,
there are many other factors that connect the Christian worship of Jesus to
Zeus. Notice “Elizeus” in the 1611 King James Version (Luke 4:27), spelled
exactly as seen here, is a name that weds the pagan deity Zeus with the Elohim
of Israel. While this is clear evidence of a blatant pagan connection to Zeus
worship, we’ve only begun to scratch the surface.
Historians have noted that for many centuries
busts of Zeus were prominently displayed in many Christian churches throughout
Europe – not only Catholic Churches where idolatry is a normative, but also in
“Orthodox” churches. The original busts of Zeus were imported into the most
prominent front and center parts of “Christian sanctuaries.” Rav Shaul’s
letters had not been heeded by the Church. In the year 230 C.E. the Christian
“Church Founder” Tertulian wrote: “But [Gentile Christian] who are
strangers to (Jewish) Sabbaths, and new moons, and festivals, once acceptable to
God, the Saturnalia, the feasts of January, the Brumalia and Matronalia are now
frequented, with gifts being carried to and fro.”
Early in Roman church history
it was very fashionable to syncretize
pagan worship into Christianity. One of the most evident pagan elements is the sun-child of December
twenty-fifth who became the son-child of “Mary the
mother of God.” Ishtar, from where the fish symbol originated, was also a
carry-over into Christianity, and transubstantiation is another pagan rite that
was ripped right out of paganism and dropped into the Easter wafer, in which
most Christians indulge.
As
mentioned before, the Vatican sports a huge brazen obelisk at the center of St.
Peter’s square that was brought to the Church from Heliopolis, Egypt, by the
Roman emperor Caligual. The obelisk is a phallic symbol (penis) that dedicates
the Roman Catholic Church to sun worship in the name of Ishtar (Easter).
Caligula considered himself god and demanded worship as a physical god – not
unlike the Catholic Pope who postures himself as being infallible and in the
place of god. The difference between modern Catholicism and paganism is mere
semantics. The Catholic Church demonstrates all manner of demonic spirit that
Caligula himself “enjoyed,” including an abundance of extremely high level
pedophile sex crimes. Those who are not Catholic, however, need not point their
fingers, because every Christian who erects a Christmas tree or attends church
on Sunday or celebrates Easter or Valentine’s Day is blindly following Roman
Catholic authority.
Y’shua
Mashiyach is the government of YHWH, he is altogether Righteous, Just and
Lawful, but most Christians are adamant that “Jesus did away with the Law.”
There is plenty of evidence that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt the Mashiyach
Y’shua has been utterly betrayed by the vast majority of Christianity. But the
greatest “slap in the face” to Mashiyach, is that when Christians are
scripturally presented with the truth about Mashiyach Y’shua, rather than
repenting and turning to YHWH, most choose to ignore Truth, and continue to
follow pagan customs. Most Christians ask, “What difference does it make?”
because they see no difference between the absolute Truth of the Perfect
Mashiyach versus a false religious system that invented Je-Zeus according to a
mixture of truth and paganism.
The
distinctions of Mashiyach’s government are universal and unchanging regardless
of how he is personified by Christians, Jews, Muslims and all other religions.
Although Christians may posture a Jesus deity according to Greco-Roman and pagan
traditions, and may even give themselves exclusivity to the Kingdom of Elohim,
the fact remains that Y‘shua gave plenty of warnings against man’s
traditions when he said: “It will not be that just everyone who says to me, My
master, my master, will enter into the kingdom of heaven; but whoever does
the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say unto me in that
day, My master, my master, By your name have we not prophesied? And by your name
have we cast out demons? And in your name have we done many miracles? And then I
will profess to them that from everlasting, I have not known you: depart from me
you workers of iniquity. Anyone therefore who hears my words, these, and does
them, will be likened to a wise man, who built his house on a stone” (Matthew
7:21-24).
Y’shua used many parables and
metaphors to bring the point across that the carnal nature of man must die so
the spiritual man can live within him. There are no religious substitutes that
can be given in exchange for living a righteous lifestyle in Machiyach. Everyone
who has put forth an effort to live a life pleasing to Master YHWH regardless of
religion, has experienced what it means to bear the infamy of truth and make war
against the carnal nature; which is why Y’shua said, “…I say to you, that
unless you eat the body of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life
in Qnoma. And he who eats from my body and drinks from my blood has life that is
everlasting, and I will raise him up on the last day. For truly my body is food
and truly my blood is drink. He who eats my body and drinks my blood abides in
me and I in him. As the Living Father has sent me, and I live because of the
Father, and whoever eats of me he also will live because of me. This is the
Bread that has descended from Heaven. It is not as manna your forefathers ate
and died. He who east this Bread will live forever!” (Yochanan 6:53-58) [AENT]
Most of the modern day Christian world revels in the Greek
manuscripts, the Greek language, etc. Of course, all scriptures have also been
translated into the English. But one of the problems is that neither the Greek
nor English can properly convey so many of the ideas that the original Hebrew
language portrays.
By Jerry Healan
The covenant of Moses was
only made with the children of Israel (Hebrews). All other nations were excluded
from that covenant. The only way that a non-Hebrew could come under the covenant
of Moses was for them to go dwell in the land of Israel, “And Yahweh said unto
Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger
eat thereof: But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast
circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. A foreigner and an hired servant
shall not eat thereof. In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry
forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone
thereof. All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. And when a stranger shall
sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to Yahweh, let all his males be
circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that
is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. One law
shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among
you,” Ex. 12:43-49.
Very few non-Hebrew people
would have been drawn to enter into that covenant with Yahweh as the overall
preponderance of peoples have always had an affinity to be rather clannish in
nature. Family life and tribal life were very important to the ancient peoples
and still is to many non-Hebrew peoples today.
Also what most people greatly
overlook is the fact that the New Covenant is also only made with the houses of
Israel and Judah (Hebrews), as revealed in Jeremiah 31 and Hebrews 8, “Behold,
the days come, saith Yahweh, that I will make a new
covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I
took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant
they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith Yahweh: But this shall be
the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith
Yahweh, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts;
and will be their Elohim, and they shall be my people,” (Jer. 31:31-33; see
also Heb. 8:8-10).
Nothing is said about
non-Hebrew peoples in this New Covenant. But plenty is written as to the
opportunity for non-Hebrew peoples to take part in it, and come into a covenant
relationship with Yahweh.
Abram was promised that he
would become a father of nations, “And when Abram was ninety years old and
nine, Yahweh appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the El Shaddai; walk
before me, and be thou perfect. And I will make my covenant between me and thee,
and will multiply thee exceedingly. And Abram fell on his face: and Elohim
talked with him, saying, As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou
shalt be a father of many nations,” Gen. 17:1-4.
Abram means “high father,”
but Yahweh was now going to expand his name in order to confirm His promise to
him, so he added, “Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy
name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee,” v. 5.
In Genesis 14, Abram is
revealed to be the Hebrew, “And there came one that had escaped, and told Abram the Hebrew; for he dwelt in the plain
of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol, and brother of Aner: and these were
confederate with Abram,” v. 13.
Thus, if we are to become the descendants of Abraham, we must become
Hebrew. How does this come about? The Apostle Paul reveals the truth of the
matter.
FAITH
The only way anyone can enter
into the New Covenant is through faith in Yahshua the Messiah. Paul reveals this
about Israel, “Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to Elohim for Israel is,
that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of Elohim,
but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of Elohim's
righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not
submitted themselves unto the righteousness of Elohim. For the Messiah is the
end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth,” Ro. 10:1-4.
The law, can be the ten
commandments or it can also be the first five books of Scripture written by
Moses called the Torah. Yahshua proclaimed to us that Moses wrote of Him,
“Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they
are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have
life. I receive not honour from men. But I know you, that ye have not the love
of Elohim in you. I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if
another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe,
which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from
Elohim only? Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one
that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye
believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.
But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?” Jn.
5:39-47.
The fact of the matter is that
when Yahweh made the covenant with Israel, it was predicated on two promises,
Yahweh’s and Israel’s. Israel was ignorant of Yahweh’s righteousness and
went about seeking to establish their own. The first covenant was doomed to
failure because of the unfaithful promises of men. Moses told the people, “And
Yahweh heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and Yahweh said
unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have
spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken. O that there
were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my
commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children
for ever!” Dt. 5:28-29.
Again, Moses told the people,
“These are the words of the covenant, which Yahweh commanded Moses to make
with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he
made with them in Horeb. And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them,
Ye have seen all that Yahweh did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto
Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land; The great temptations
which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: Yet Yahweh
hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes
to see, and ears to hear, unto this day,” Dt. 29:1-4.
Yahweh declared that the
Israelites were a people of no faith, “But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked:
thou art waxen fat, thou art grown thick, thou art covered with fatness; then he
forsook Elohim which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
They provoked him to jealousy with strange elohim, with abominations provoked
they him to anger. They sacrificed unto devils, not to Elohim; to elohim whom
they knew not, to new elohim that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten Elohim that
formed thee. And when Yahweh saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking
of his sons, and of his daughters. And he said, I will hide my face from them, I
will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith.
They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not Elohim; they have provoked
me to anger with their vanities: and I
will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people;
I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation,” Dt. 32:15-21.
This is where the non-Hebrews
are able to come in. Yahweh overthrew the northern kingdom of Israel because of
their unrepentant Baal worship including the images of the golden calves. The
southern kingdom of Judah saw what happened to the northern kingdom, but
foolishly followed in their footsteps and were destroyed and removed as a
kingdom. Yahweh then established the pagan non-Hebrew kingdoms of Babylon,
Persia, Greece and Rome over the world in succession.
When Yahshua came to His own,
the overall preponderance of His people would not receive Him (Jn. 1:11). This
opened the door for non-Hebrews to be grafted into Yahshua, in effect becoming
the children of Abraham, the father of the faithful, so they can partake of the
root and fatness of the true cultivated olive tree, “Now if the fall of them
be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the
Gentiles; how much more their fulness? For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as
I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: If by any means I may
provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. For
if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the
receiving of them be, but life from the dead? For if the firstfruit be holy, the
lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. And if some of
the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in
among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root,
but the root thee. Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I
might be graffed in. Well; because of
unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith.
Be not highminded, but fear: For if Yahweh spared not the natural branches, take
heed lest he also spare not thee. Behold therefore the goodness and severity of
Yahweh: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou
continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. And they also,
if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for Yahweh is able to
graff them in again,” Ro. 11:12-23.
Do you have the faith to believe this? Do you believe that Yahweh
purposely cast His people Israel away so that He could also have mercy upon the
non-Hebrews? We are in a period of time today that is called the “times of the
gentiles.” This will continue until the time that Yahshua appears to restore
the kingdom of heaven on earth. Those Israelites (the great overall majority)
who have been broken off from the Hebrew tree, will soon be able to be graffed
back into the good olive tree which is Yahshua the Messiah. Today, non-Hebrews
have the honor and privilege to be able to be graffed into Yahshua the Messiah,
which makes them Hebrew, not Greek. The Greeks (gentiles) were the wild olive
tree. The good olive tree is Hebrew and that tree is Yahshua the Messiah.
BELIEVE
Did you know that the Hebrew
word for faith and believe is the same word? Abraham believed
Yahweh and it was counted unto him for righteousness. (Gen. 15:6) When Yahweh
said that the Israelites were children in whom is no faith (Dt. 32:20), it was the very same Hebrew
word that is translated as “believed” in Gen. 15:6. That word is nma (aman/amen).
The Hebrew letters are not only
letters to make up words, but they serve as numbers and pictures. The aleph (a) represents the head of an
ox, typifying a head, chief, strength, first, etc. The mem (m) represents water, which can
typify chaos if uncontrolled, but according to Yahshua it also typifies spirit (Jn.
7:37-39), or breath. The nun (n) typifies or pictures fish,
offspring (heirs), to sprout, life, seed, etc. Thus, aman (nma) can mean the strong leader
who provides water for the fish, or spirit, breath for the heirs, the offspring.
Isn’t it interesting that
Yahshua called fishermen to be His disciples so that they could fish for men!?
It is through Yahshua that we receive the Holy Spirit, Holy breath, so that we
can understand spiritual things, but especially so that we can be declared to be
the Sons of Elohim and heirs to the kingdom of heaven.
Yahshua declared that He is the
Aman/Amen (mna)
in Revelation 3:14. He declared that He is the faithful and true witness. Thus,
Abram believed (mna) Yahweh and it was counted to Him for righteousness (Gen.
15:6). Yahshua revealed that He was the one who spoke to Abraham and the
descendants of Israel were blinded as to who he was and so many still are. He
told the people of His day, “Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and
he saw it, and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty
years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Yahshua said unto them, Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. Then took they up stones to cast at him:
but Yahshua hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of
them, and so passed by” Jn. 8:57-59. The One Who spoke with Abram/Abraham was
identified as the Word of Yahweh in Genesis 15. Abram called Him Yahweh Elohim.
In Genesis 17 He is identified as Yahweh and also El Shaddai. This is none other
than the very One Who became flesh, Yahshua the Messiah.
In making the statement that He
is the Aman/Amen to the Laodicean Assembly, the seventh and last assembly
mentioned in Revelation 3, it is interesting that they are also declared to be
blind, “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou
wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I
will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased
with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art
wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked,” Rev. 3:15-17.
Notice that in other areas of Scripture He declares that He is the
beginning and the ending, the first and the last in Isaiah 41:4, 44:6, 48:12,
Rev. 1:4, 2:8, 21:6, 22:13. Normally, the aman/amen comes at the end of a
prayer, a declaration, etc. But to the Laodicean Assembly He reverses the
process to declare that He is the Aman/Amen, “And unto the angel of the church
of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of Elohim,”
Rev. 3:14.
Yahshua is the Aman/Amen, the Head Who provides water for the fish, the
Head Who provides the Holy Spirit for the heirs of the kingdom. He is the
fountain of living waters (Jer. 2:13; 17:13; Jn. 4:14). If you have His Spirit
then you are grafted into Him, the good olive tree, the descendant of Abraham,
the Hebrew.
BUILDING A WORD
Let’s carry this a step
further now and build a Hebrew word. We will start with the Hebrew letter beit (b). It is the second letter of
the Hebrew alphabet and is equivalent to our “B.” It is an hieroglyphic of a
tent, house or temple and also represents the number 2. It truly takes two to
make a house. Scripture reveals that the Heavenly Father and His future Son,
called the Word of Yahweh, existed before the heavens and earth were created.
Scripture reveals that it was Yahshua, the Word of Yahweh, Who created all
things (Jn. 1:1-3; Psa. 33:6-9; Heb. 1:1-2). The Hebrew word for our English
word, WORD, is dabar (rbd). That is dalet (d), beit (b) and reish (r).
The dalet (d) is an hieroglyphic for a
door. The beit (b) is an hieroglyphic for a tent, house or temple, and the
reish (r)
is an hieroglyphic for the head of a man. Yahshua, Himself, proclaimed that He
is the door, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door
into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a
robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him
the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep
by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth
before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger
will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of
strangers. This parable spake Yahshua unto them: but they understood not what
things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Yahshua unto them again,
Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep,” Jn. 10:1-7.
The beit (b) and reish (r) together (rb) is the Hebrew word
“bar,” or son. Yahshua is the Word of Yahweh (Jn. 1:1-3). He became the
Father’s Son when He emptied Himself of the power and glory that He had to
become flesh (Phil. 2:5-8, Jn. 1:10-14). Thus the Hebrew word “dabar” (rbd) signifies Yahshua as the
Word, Who is the Son, Who is the Door.
So now we have one of the
Hebrew words for Son, which is Bar (rb). Now let’s add a Yod (y) to this word for son. The
result is yrb
(bari), which means “My Son.” The Yod (y) is an hieroglyphic for a
hand. Yahshua is the Son Who is on the right hand of the Father, “For the
Messiah also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might
bring us to Elohim, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the
Spirit….Who is gone into heaven, and is on
the right hand of Yahweh; angels and authorities and powers being made
subject unto him,” 1 Pet. 3:18, 22. (See also Psa. 110:1-5; Heb. 1:1-3, etc.)
Now we will take the word “My
Son” (yrb)
and add another Hebrew letter to it, specifically an ayin ([), and in doing this we
obtain the Hebrew word yrb[. We have just constructed the word “Hebrew!” The ayin
([) is an hieroglyphic for an
eye, fountain, or well. What does this mean? It means that Hebrew is “My
Son’s fountain!”
Furthermore, Let’s
temporarily remove the letter ayin ([) and add a tau (t) to the end of the word
“My Son” (yrb).
We obtain the Hebrew word tyrb, which is the Hebrew word “beriyt” or COVENANT. The
tau (t)
is an hieroglyphic for sign, seal, name, covenant, cross. In the more ancient
Hebrew the word beriyt (covenant) would be rendered as tirb. This gives us the idea of
“My Son’s cross,” “My Son’s sign,” “My Son’s name,” or “My
Son’s covenant.”
Now, let’s add the Hebrew
letter ayin ([)
back to this word covenant, tyrb[. We have just constructed the word “Hebrews!”
Yahweh makes His covenant with Hebrews and Hebrews alone! That is why the
New Covenant is promised to be made with the house of Israel and the house of
Judah. You must become a Hebrew by being grafted into the Hebrew Savior, not the
Greek Savior. The Greek savior is a wild olive tree and is served with the wild
pagan orgiastic symbols of Sunday worship, Easter, Christmas, etc. Even
Halloween and Carnival or Mardi Gras have become acceptable to the wild pagan
Greek and Latin worshippers.
ANOTHER MEANING
Abraham was a descendant of
Eber (rb[) from whom comes the term
Hebrew (yrb[).
The name Eber comes from a Hebrew root word meaning to cross over or to go to
the opposite side (such as the Jordan River; see Strong’s #5676 in the Hebrew
lexicon).
In actuality, our English word
“over” comes from the word “eber.” In many cases the Hebrew letter beit (b/B) is pronounced like an English
“v.” With the letter ayin
([) at the beginning of the
Hebrew word in the ancient Paleo Hebrew, it looks like an English “O” and
can carry that very same sound, thus eber
(rb[) can be sounded as the very
word that it can be translated into in the English language, that is, the word
“over.”
In the story of Lazarus and the
rich man (Lk. 16:20-31), both men die, but Lazarus is carried into the bosom of
Abraham while the rich man was buried. The story continues, “And in hell he
lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in
his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send
Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for
I am tormented in this flame. But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy
lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now
he is comforted, and thou art tormented. And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot;
neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence,”
vv. 23-26.
What has happened? The Jordan
River was a barrier between the rest of the world and the land of promise. The
Israelites (Hebrews) were given the right to cross over the Jordan into the land
of promise by Yahweh because they were the descendants of Abraham. This was a
type of the true promise of those who will cross over from this life into life
eternal in the promised kingdom of heaven, which comes through Yahshua the
Messiah.
If you are going to enter into
the promise of the Father, then you must repent of your sins, be baptized in the
name of Yahshua the Messiah, receive the Holy Spirit and endure to the end of
this present physical life by overcoming the flesh. He that endures to the end,
the same shall be saved. (Mat. 10:22). We must overcome the world (1 Jn. 5:4-5).
We must overcome,
Re 2:11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
assemblies; He that overcometh
shall not be hurt of the second death.
Re 2:17 He that hath an ear, let
him hear what the Spirit saith unto the assemblies; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the
hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name
written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
Re 2:26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto
the end, to him will I give power over the nations:
Re 3:5 He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed
in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but
I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Re 3:12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the
temple of my Elohim, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the
name of my Elohim, and the name of the city of my Elohim, which is new
Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my Elohim: and I will write upon
him my new name.
Re 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me
in my throne, even as I also overcame,
and am set down with my Father in his throne.
Re 21:7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his El, and he shall be my son.
Are you beginning to understand that you must become a Hebrew? Are you beginning to see that you must become a son of Abraham, the Hebrew? Will your life end up as Lazarus or as the rich man? Lazarus became a son of Abraham, the Hebrew being able to cross over the gulf. Will you repent of your wild Greek (Gentile/pagan/heathen) ways and become a Hebrew? We encourage you to do so and become a Hebrew!!!!!! May Yahweh give you the wisdom, understanding and knowledge to do so!
