FROM THE EDITOR

THE WITNESS OF A SUBSCRIBER

Are you really and truly interested in this work? Do you think that it is changing lives? Below is the witness of a brother who has subscribed to our materials. His comments are especially addressed to our Bible Correspondence Course and how it has affected him in his life.

Dear Brothers and Sisters of Y.E.A.,

Shalom Aleichem,

  I wish to thank you again for allowing me to partake in the Y.E.A. Bible Correspondence Course Lesson 8 – Remember the Sabbath.

  Your opening commentary about the Gideon’s Bible study in a restaurant and the debate with a Y.E.A. member on the 10 commandments vs. “The law is done away,” pinpointing the seventh day Sabbath, is something that I will be able to utilize very effectively in our Bible studies.

  I also wish to thank you for all the Hebrew words that your Bible studies are teaching me and their meanings such as “sheba” = swear = to seven oneself; Beer-sheba = well of seven, or well of oath, etc.

  Learning the Hebrew words and their meanings and how they give revelation to Yahweh’s purpose and plan is helping me to understand Yahweh’s word more clearly.

  I now can see and understand how so much has been lost in the translations from Hebrew to Latin – Greek – and English. The beginner Bible student or Sunday church goer doesn’t have a clue.

  I can see now that it’s part of Satan’s game by influencing people to be anti-Semitic and hate the Hebrew language so Satan can blind the mass to the true meaning of Yahweh’s true word.

  Today we have all kinds of Satan’s false religious forces plus Satan’s political correctness in the government, Big Brother watching, in the schools, in the churches.

  I just read a commentary about the author Joe Kovacs new best seller book; “Shocked by the Bible: the most astonishing facts you’ve never been told ( www.shockedbytheBible.com). Mr. Joe Kovacs book documents facts regarding most people’s common beliefs about religion that are not supported by Scripture.

  Mr. Joe Kovacs touches on today’s popular religious holidays, Christmas, Easter, Halloween, and the seventh day Sabbath. But he’s only scratching the surface of the truth. Keep in mind that Mr. Joe Kovacs is the executive news editor of World Net Daily, so I’m sure that Mr. Kovacs is in tune with how corrupt the politically correct mainstream media is and Mr. Kovacs is not coming out of his comfort zone.

  I wrote Mr. Kovacs a letter and asked him to research Jeremiah 23:1-27; the truths of Yahweh’s word are sealed in the Hebrew language, and to research the origin of the names Jesus Christ and Jehovah.

  It’s so clear from the Hebrew Scriptures the enormous importance of the Sabbath, past, present, and future.

  The Scriptures I lean on a lot are Malachi 3:6, “For I am Yahweh. I change not,” and “Hebrews 13:8, “Yahshua, the same yesterday, today, and forever.” So I ask people if the word Sabbath is the same in other languages: Greek – Savvato; Italian – Sabato; Spanish – Sabado; Polish – Sabato; Hebrew – Shabbat, then why would Yahweh or Yahshua change their names without informing us with inspired Scripture?

  I have come to my own conclusion that the majority of ministers have done their own research and that they know the truths of Yahweh’s word but that they fear making changes in their churches and fear to teach the truth because they fear losing church members and tithes. They must stay politically correct and keep their flocks blind to maintain their social position and keep their church members chained to the lies of false religion. They preach John 8:31-32 but teach lies and bondage, no truth, no freedom.

  Yes, this lesson has helped me to understand the truth concerning the Sabbath day. Yes, I’ve turned to Yahweh’s commanded way –out of sun worship – out of the idolatrous ways of this world; Revelation 18:4; 2 Cor. 6:16-17; Jer. 51:6 – “Come out of her my people.” Thank you brothers and sisters of Y.E.A. I’m looking forward to the next lesson. You are in my prayers always.

Shalom Alechiem, TLT/CA.

I realize that what is presented here may be very difficult for many people to receive, who have been taught and stand on certain things concerning our Creator. It is not that we are seeking to shatter anyone’s faith, but rather to greatly embellish and bring to a greater understanding. However, we do understand that there will be those who can’t receive this and still others who will receive it with joy and rejoicing. As the Scriptures declare, “Let him that is able to receive it, receive it,” Mt. 19:12.

By Jerry Healan

  Water is such an amazing substance! Where would we be without water? The answer is nowhere! All known life forms depend on water for their existence. It is essential for life. Do we ever think about water or do we just take it for granted? People in drought stricken or very dry areas know how precious it is. Where water is abundant, people have more of a tendency to take it for granted. However, where there is plenty of water, there is usually prosperity also. Farmers need it for their crops. Ranchers need it for their livestock. Factories need it for production.

  It is probable that few people understand that water is the third most common molecule in the universe. It is the most abundant substance on earth. It composes about 71% of the earth’s surface! The bodies of most plants and animals are at least 60% water.

  Although water seems chemically simple - just 2 hydrogen atoms bound to an oxygen atom - it is in fact an enormously unusual substance. It has often been stated that life depends on just the anomalous properties of water. (from http://www.starfish.ch/reef/ocean.html)  Water has different thermal parameters than other substances. Most compounds contract as they cool and expand when they heat. Water does this, too, until just before it starts to freeze. Then it does something remarkable - it begins to expand, even when it grows colder. By the time it does freeze it becomes ice which is actually less dense than liquid water. Ice floats on water instead of sinking. If it did not, life on earth would be impossible. If lakes and oceans froze from the bottom up instead the top down no sea-floor or lake bottom ecologies would exist. Once started freezing, bodies of water would stay frozen solid forever. The freezing from the top down is insulating the water from further freezing and also allowing rapid thawing. (IBID)

  Water has a very high surface tension. It can enter into cracks in rocks and since it expands when freezing these rocks break apart. If water had a lower surface tension, the process by which soil is formed would not occur. (IBID)

  Water is not very viscous, if it had higher viscosity, circulatory systems could not operate. (IBID)

  Water can dissolve more substances than any other solvent. Water is an excellent solvent for substances such as salt. Actually 38 million tons of salt are solved in one cubic kilometer, that's about 25 grams of salt in one kilogram of water. (IBID)

SPIRITUAL LESSONS

  The Apostle Paul writes, “For the wrath of Yahweh is revealed from heaven against all wickedness and unrighteousness of men, who (with)hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of Yahweh is manifest in them; for Yahweh hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and headship; so that they are without excuse: Because that, when they knew Yahweh, they glorified him not as Elohim, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools…,” Ro. 1:18-22.

  Notice this again, “…the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made…”

  Again, Paul writes, “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which Yahweh hath prepared for them that love him. But Yahweh hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of Yahweh. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of Yahweh knoweth no man, but the Spirit of Yahweh. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of Yahweh; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of Yahweh. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Spirit teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual,” 1 Cor. 2:9-13.

  Yahshua proclaimed, “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.

  Again, Yahshua declared, “Yahweh is Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth,” Jn. 4:24.

  Furthermore, Yahweh proclaims that He is a fountain of living waters in Jeremiah chapters 2 and 17.

  Water is the most abundant substance on earth and even in the universe (according to some scientists). It is definitely necessary for life. According to the Scriptures that we have just read, water is a type of the Spirit. Yahweh is spirit, He is a fountain of living waters. Living waters flow from Yahshua’s belly. We can understand the invisible things of Him from the things that are created. We should be able to learn very important and vital lessons about Yahweh by comparing spiritual things (water) with spiritual (spirit).

HYDROGEN

  The chemical composition of water, of course, is H2O. We will deal with this composition a little later, but we do want to focus on the elements themselves first and foremost. There are amazing things to be revealed in them separately and in combination.

  Hydrogen is defined as a flammable, colorless, odorless, gaseous chemical element, the lightest of all known substances. The word hydrogen itself is a combination of the terms “hydro” and “gen.” “Hydro” simply means “water.” “Gen” comes from a family of words, gen, genus, genes, genesis, etc. Gen means to be born or generated, thus, Hydrogen means “water-born.”

  At this point it is interesting to note that Yahshua said, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of Elohim,” Jn. 3:5.

  Hydrogen probably also means “water generator.” In other words, that which produces or makes water. Isn’t that what Yahweh says about Himself? Doesn’t He say that He is the fountain of living water? “Be astonished, O ye heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid, be ye very desolate, saith Yahweh. For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water,” Jer. 2:12-13.

  “O Yahweh, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Yahweh, the fountain of living waters,” Jer. 17:13.

  Furthermore, water is created by burning hydrogen. Scripture says that Yahweh is a consuming fire (Dt. 4:24; Heb. 12:29). Yahweh, the consuming fire, is a fountain, Who produces living water (the Holy Spirit)!

  Hydrogen is composed of a single proton and a single electron. It is the simplest and most abundant element in the universe. The heavier elements were originally made from hydrogen atoms or from other elements that were originally made from hydrogen atoms. Thus, hydrogen is the basic building block that all other atoms are built upon. It is estimated that hydrogen makes up more than 90% of all atoms, three quarters of the mass of the universe.

  Hydrogen’s atomic number is 1 (one). It is the lightest of all elements thus, it rises above all others. Yahweh is number one (first) in all things. He also is to be held up, lifted, and worshipped above all things. He is the One Who has made all things. He is over all things. It is written, “Hear, O Israel: Yahweh our Elohim is one Yahweh,” Dt. 6:4. Are you beginning to see the lessons and information that we can learn about Yahweh through the things that He has made?

  What have we learned about hydrogen? It is similar to Yahweh in the fact that Yahweh made all things, Hydrogen is the simplest of elements and atoms. It is the base upon which all other elements and atoms are made. In order to make other atoms and elements, all Yahweh had to do was add more protons, electrons, and neutrons to the hydrogen atom. Yahweh is the Creator, the One Who made all things. Hydrogen means water generator; the burning of hydrogen produces water; Yahweh is a fountain of living waters, and a consuming fire. Hydrogen is the lightest of all elements and rises above them. Yahweh is over, above His creation.

OXYGEN

  Oxygen receives its name from the Greek words oxys and genes, which together mean "acid forming."

  Oxygen is defined as a colorless, odorless, tasteless, gaseous chemical element, the most abundant of all elements: it occurs free in the atmosphere, forming one fifth of its volume, and in combination in water, sandstone, limestone, etc; it is very active, being able to combine with nearly all other elements, and is essential to life processes and to combustion. (Webster’s New World Dictionary)

  Oxygen is the third most abundant element in the universe and makes up nearly 21% of the earth's atmosphere. Oxygen accounts for nearly half of the mass of the earth's crust, two thirds of the mass of the human body and nine tenths of the mass of water.

  Oxygen is a highly reactive element and is capable of combining with most other elements. It is required by all living organisms and for most forms of combustion.

  While hydrogen is the basic building block upon which all things are built, life requires oxygen. Oxygen must be present for combustion, thus, hydrogen can’t burn to produce water without the presence of oxygen. We breathe oxygen into our lungs in order to live. Our blood carries the oxygen to the cells of our body so they can perform their processes. Our cells do their work through the burning of oxygen. Breath in Hebrew is ruach. Spirit in Hebrew is ruach. Thus, oxygen is a type of the spirit.

  The atomic number for oxygen is eight (8). In the spiritual significance of numbers, eight is the number for new beginnings. Lay the eight on its side and it becomes the symbol for infinity. Yahweh is spirit and has ever existed. Thus, the Holy Spirit has also always existed.

  Notice in the definition that it is FREE and VERY ACTIVE. Doesn’t this mean that it is the life-giving element? It is oxygen that gives us the ability to live, move, walk, act, work, think, etc. In hydrogen, we have the basic building block, the builder and maker of creation, while in oxygen we have the basic life-giver.

  Both hydrogen and oxygen are invisible to the naked eye. Yahweh is invisible to the naked eye. Combine Hydrogen and oxygen and we begin to see what they produce together, water and the rest of the visible creation. Hydrogen is necessary for creation, oxygen is necessary for breath, for life.

  Another interesting observation is the fact that it forms one fifth of the volume of the atmosphere. Also, in the spiritual significance of numbers, five is the number for grace. Zechariah is inspired to write, “And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn,” Zech. 12:10.

  The book of Hebrews warns, “Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of Elohim, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?” Heb. 10:29.

WATER

  Water is the single most important combination of both of these elements. While we can’t have creation without hydrogen, we can’t have life without oxygen, but neither can we have life without the combination of these two in the form of water.

  Water has pretty much been taken for granted, but scientists have been looking into the properties of water recently and many marvelous and amazing things have been discovered, but study as deeply as they will, there are still so many mysteries about water that have not been pinpointed nor figured out and probably never will be, because of its likeness to spirit. But there are many things that we can look into, discover and stand in awe concerning our great Creator and His Spirit.

  The chemical composition of water reveals to us a nature of Yahweh that has been discussed, yet greatly misunderstood and misrepresented, and even denied for millennia. The chemical composition for one molecule of water is H2O or H-O-H. It just so happens that scientists have made a model of a water molecule. It looks somewhat like the figures below. Could this teach us about a great mystery concerning Yahweh? Yahweh is one Elohim, “Hear, O Israel: Yahweh our Elohim is one Yahweh,” Dt. 6:4. Yet we understand that there is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Yahshua Himself said, “I and my Father are one,” Jn. 10:30. Many have misunderstood the truth about Yahshua and the Father. They can’t understand how there can be only one Elohim, yet composed of more than one entity so they reject the fact that Yahshua has always existed with the Father. The water molecule should help us explain this relationship. The water molecule is one, yet it consists of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen.

  Some have said that Hydrogen and Oxygen can exist apart in the creation and this is very true, but the simple fact of the matter is that water is a type of the Holy Spirit, and therefore the water molecule itself, can only exist in the combination of H2O, or H-O-H. But to prove that nothing truly exists of itself alone, let’s take one more look at the Hydrogen atom, the basic building block of the physical creation. It, itself, is composed of one proton in the nucleus and one electron rotating around that nucleus, therefore we have the hydrogen atom consisting of two elemental parts, but there is a third item associated with the one hydrogen atom and that is the power that binds them together. Without that binding power, they couldn’t exist together and there would be no hydrogen atom. Therefore, the hydrogen atom itself is composed of at least three things, a 1Proton, 2electron and 3the power that binds them together. This seems to be what happens with the water molecule; the oxygen atom combines with the two hydrogen atoms to bind them together producing the life giving substance we call water.

  The word Elohim should also help to explain this relationship. The singular word in the Hebrew is El. The plural is Elohim. In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth. (Gen. 1:1) “And Elohim said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So Elohim created man in his own image, in the image of Elohim created he him; male and female created he them,” Gen. 1:26-27.

  I hope this helps us to understand the use of singulars and plurals much better. The word Elohim (a unified plurality as in the water molecule) is both plural and singular in its make-up. Man (Adam) is also singular and plural in his make-up. In Genesis chapter two the revelation is that the man was first made and then the woman was made from the man. Once they became two, they were told to become one flesh. Their union as one flesh caused children to be born. Cain and Able were twins. Once they were born, there was one family, yet four members of that one family.

    Here are some Scriptures that reveal our oneness, our unity that we are supposed to have. Jn. 17:20-23,  “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.”

 Ro 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in the Messiah, and every one members one of another.

 1Co 3:8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

 1Co 10:17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

 1Co 12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is the Messiah.

   Not only is water composed of three things, two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen, it also exists in three states, solid (ice), liquid (water) and gas (vapor). Yahweh is proclaimed to be a rock (solid - Dt. 32:18, 30-31; 2 Sam 23:3); He is a fountain of living water (liquid - Jer. 2:12-13, 17:13); He is Spirit (vapor - Jn. 4:24).

  We ourselves are also composed of solid (bone and flesh), liquid (water and blood), and vapor (breath).

  We live in a three dimensional world that is measured by length, width and height. It is one world yet three measurements. Yahweh is eternal and thus lives in the past, present and future. One existence composed of three things. We also exist in the same reality, but not yet eternal. Our speech consists of past, present, and future. Speech is one, yet existing in three realities, three tenses.

  We are in a Trinitarian relationship with Yahweh through Yahshua as He stated, He is in the Father and the Father in Him, and He in us and we in Him. He is the One Who brings us together in one with the Father.

  Don’t get me wrong, I am not in support of the pagan trinity that Christianity and the pagan religions uphold, but there is more to the three in one concept than meets the eye.

MORE REVELATIONS

  There are other marvelous things about water that we should look into. We all know that water is required for life and that the chemical formula for water is H2O or basically H-O-H. Let’s take this chemical formula and change it into Hebrew letters to see what we get. The English letter “H” is the primary letter that almost all English to Hebrew typing programs utilize for the Hebrew letter “hei” (h in modern day Hebrew; h in Paleo Hebrew). We will utilize the same technique in converting the formula into the Hebrew language.

  But what about the “O”? What Hebrew letter would be substituted for the “O”? If you look into all of the Hebrew letters that serve as both consonants and vowels, you will find that every one of the letters is quite versatile in their pronunciation. The Hebrew letters that serve both as consonants and vowels are aleph (a/a), hei (h/h), waw (w/w), yod (y/y), and ayin ([/[). At first glance, one would have to pick the ayin because of the Paleo Hebrew characteristics. But each of these letters are quite versatile in that, depending on what Hebrew word they appear, they can all sound like and a, e, i, o, or u.

  The letter that this author chooses is the waw (w) for various reasons that will soon be made clear. Firstly, the waw is a conjunction. A conjunction, of course connects, or adds. The Hebrew waw is an hieroglyphic, or picture of a nail or a tent peg (w modern Hebrew), (w Paleo Hebrew), (f Pictorial Hebrew). It carries the “O” sound in many, many words, such as bôw (awb/awb), gowral (lrwg/lrwg), Jericho/Yerichôw (wxyry/wjyry), etc.

  Converting H-O-H to Hebrew letters, we obtain the word hwh/hwh, which is havah (#1933 and #1934 in Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance). #1933 is defined as; a primitive root supposed to mean properly to breathe; to be (in the sense of existence). #1934 is defined as; to exist. How awesome is this? For there to be any existence at all hydrogen, oxygen and their combined form water (H-O-H) is required!

  Interestingly, hwh/hwh is also #1942 and 1943 in Strong’s and both have to do with mischief and ruin. In this situation Yahweh is not only the One Who gives life and breath, but He can also destroy, take away that life and breath. How many people have been slain for their overly evil doings. How many have been destroyed by raging waters, floods, drowning, etc.

  Furthermore, the atomic number for hydrogen is one (1), and the atomic number for oxygen is eight (8). Two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen would be 1 + 1 + 8 = 10. Again, if we take the word hwh and convert into a mathematical formula, utilizing the waw as a conjunction or addition sign (+) we get 5 + 5 = 10. (hei [h] in Hebrew is the number 5)

  Ten is the number of the commandments that Yahweh gave to Israel as the covenant! The commandments are the law of life! The very first letter in the name Yahweh (yod = y/y) is equivalent to the number 10. The name Yahweh can also be written as a mathematical formula hwhy can be written as h (5), w (+) h (5) = y (10). It all has to do with life, with existence. It all has to do with Yahweh!

  Now, let’s look at the Hebrew word for water. It is mayim mym/mym. The letters are mem, yod, mem. The mem is an hieroglyphic for water, which is a type of the living spirit. The yod is the first letter in the name Yahweh and in many cases it alone stands for him as the initial for His name. But it is also an hieroglyphic of a hand or arm. The more ancient Pictorial Hebrew yod looks like this i. It was by the hand of Yahweh that all things were created, “I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded,” Isa. 45:12. Thus, the yod between the two mems can mean the One (Yahweh) who is in the midst of the waters or the spirit. It can also mean the hand of the waters or the spirit.

  Water freezes into ice at 0 degrees Celsius and boils into vapor at 100 degrees Celsius. The difference is, of course, 100 degrees. The number ten (10) in the spiritual significance of numbers represents ordinal perfection, or the perfection of order. One Hundred (100) would be ordinal perfection multiplied (10 x 10). But on the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils into vapor at 212 degrees. The difference here is 180 degrees. Amazingly, in geometry 180 is a straight line! “The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of Yahweh, make straight in the desert a highway for our Elohim,” Isa. 40:3.

  “At the same time, saith Yahweh, will I be the Elohim of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people. Thus saith Yahweh, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. Yawheh hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee. Again I will build thee, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel: thou shalt again be adorned with thy tabrets, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry. Thou shalt yet plant vines upon the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things. For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto Yahweh our Elohim. For thus saith Yawheh; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O Yawheh, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn,” Jer. 31:1-9.

  John the Baptist came baptizing with water and declaring, “Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of Yahweh, make his paths straight,” Mt. 3:2-3.

  “The beginning of the gospel of Yahshua the Messiah, the Son of Elohim; As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of Yahweh, make his paths straight. John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. And there went out unto him all the land of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem, and were all baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins,” Mk. 1:1-5.  (See also Lk. 3:4-6; Jn. 1:23)

  The word “straight” in these passages come from the Hebrew word “Yashar”, which means to be straight or even; figuratively, to be (causatively, to make) right, or upright.

THE CHIEF CLEANSING AGENT

  Water is the world’s best and chief cleansing agent. We utilize water to bathe and cleanse ourselves, our clothes, our dishes, our homes, our cars. A good rain cleanses the air. There may be certain things that water won’t cleanse such as oil, grease, paint, etc. As a painter, I had to utilize some very harsh substances and solvents to cleanse my hands, etc. with, because water wouldn’t cleanse some of the particular materials that I was working with, however, once the solvents did their work, they had to be removed, cleansed with water.

  Paul writes, “Husbands, love your wives, even as the Messiah also loved the assembly, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious assembly, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish,” Eph. 5:26-27.

  We must be washed with the washing of water by the word and the waters of regeneration by the Holy Spirit (living waters), “For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of Yahweh our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit; Which he shed on us abundantly through Yahshua the Messiah our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life,” Tit. 3:3-7.

  The blood of Yahshua the Messiah coupled with the Holy Spirit and the washing of water by the word cleanses us so that we can enter into the holiest place, “Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Yahshua, By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And having an high priest over the house of Elohim; Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water,” Heb. 10:19-22.

  How do we make water wetter? Don’t we make it wetter and better able to cleanse by adding soap? But try as we may, we can wash ourselves with water and soap in this world only to make our flesh clean, but we can’t cleanse ourselves from sin in this manner, “Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me? For though thou wash thee with nitre, and take thee much soap, yet thine iniquity is marked before me, saith Adonai Yahweh,” Jer. 2:21-22.

  We all know that it takes the combination of the blood and the washing of water by the word as well as the waters of regeneration to cleanse us of our sins, but did you know that Yahweh can make even this water wetter? How? You might say? “Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the Sovereign, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, he shall come, saith Yahweh of hosts. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto Yahweh an offering in righteousness. Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto Yahweh, as in the days of old, and as in former years,” Mal. 3:1-4.

  Soap in this passage comes from the Hebrew word boriyt. It is defined as a vegetable alkali, but the Hebrew letters are tyrb, the exact same letters that appear in the Hebrew word for covenant (beryit/tyrb).

  Yahweh will add His covenant (like soap) to those whom He has cleansed with the blood of Yahshua and the waters of regeneration, as it says in Jeremiah, “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. And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know Yahweh: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith Yahweh: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more,” Jer. 31:31-34.

WATER’S ACTIVITY

  Water is highly active. It is constantly in motion. As a matter of fact, the water molecule is shown to have a positive and negative charge both at the same time. The water molecule vibrates. Thus, even though water molecules attract each other and form clusters, it is also so active that it evaporates into its gaseous form.

  This brings to mind the activity of the Father and Son, what they do through the power of their Spirit, which is active, powerful and always working. Yahweh Himself decreed, “Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of Yahweh unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith Yahweh of hosts,” Zech. 4:6

  It was by the power of the word of Yahweh that all things were created, “6By the word of Yahweh were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 7He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. 8Let all the earth fear Yahweh: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast,” Psa. 33:6-9.

  In verse six, the Hebrew word for “breath” is ruach, which is also translated as SPIRIT elsewhere in the Scriptures!

   The Apostle John writes, “1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim. 2 The same was in the beginning with Elohim. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not….10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of Elohim, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of Elohim. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth,” Jn. 1:1-5, 10-14.

  The book of Hebrews proclaims, “1 Elohim, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they,” Heb. 1:1-4.

  How was the Word, Who was Elohim, Who made everything by the breath, the spirit of His mouth, able to become flesh? “26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from Yahweh unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, 27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Yoseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Miriam. 28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, Yahweh is with thee: blessed art thou among women. 29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be. 30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Miriam: for thou hast found favour with Yahweh. 31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Yahshua. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and Yahweh Elohim shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 And he shall reign over the house of Yacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of Elohim,” Lk. 1:26-35.

  When accosted for healing a man on the Sabbath Yahshua said, “17 My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. 18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that Elohim was his Father, making himself equal with Elohim,” Jn. 5:17-18.

  That’s right folks. The Father and Son are continually working in their creation, even on the Sabbath day. They work to uphold all things by the power of their word, as well as hold all things together, as Paul writes, “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible Elohim, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist,” Col. 1:12-17.

  “Consist” is translated from “sunistao”, which means set together. It actually means that all things are held together by His power. That power is continually working to uphold and hold together the whole creation.

  The Holy Spirit, like water, is active, moving, energetic, continually working a powerful work, sustaining all things, and giving life.

THE TORAH

  The Torah is, of course, the first five books of the Scriptures. The word Torah means to teach, to instruct, law, etc. It comes from another Hebrew word, which is yarah. Yarah also means to point, or instruct, but it also has to do with flowing as water, or rain, to shoot, throw, etc.

  The Torah is where Yahweh is introduced. It reveals Who He is. In Exodus chapter seventeen the account of the people’s thirst for water whereupon Moses is instructed to take his rod and to smite a rock upon which Yahweh will stand, “5 And Yahweh said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go. 6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel,” vv. 5-6.

  This very account is a forerunner of the time when Yahweh would empty Himself of the power and glory that He had/has, become a man, dwell among us, suffer and die for our sins by being hung on a cross. When Yahshua was hung on the cross, He was smitten in the side and forthwith came blood and water. (Jn. 19:34)

  The Hebrew word for blood is “dam” written as md (Hebrew reads from right to left). The letters are dalet (d) and mem (m). The dalet is a picture of a door, while the mem is a picture of water. Thus, the blood is our door to life in this world. In other words, the mem, water, is a type of the spirit. Spirit in Hebrew is ruach, which also has to do with breath, and air. Our blood takes our breath (ruach), our air (ruach) that we breathe in, to all of our body’s parts so that we can live.

  Again, water, in Hebrew is mayim (mim). That’s mem (m), yod (i), mem (m). The yod (i) is the initial for Yahweh’s name, and in many Jewish writings, the use of the yod (i/i)is taken for granted to mean His Name. Thus, Yahweh is the One in the midst of the living waters, in the midst of the Spirit. He is the fountain of living waters.

  The Yod (i) is a picture of a hand. The name Yahweh reveals that the hand was to be pierced with a nail. Yahshua’s hands, feet and side were pierced so that His blood could be shed and the waters of the Holy Spirit made available. That is what the name Yahweh implies in Pictorial Hebrew.

  Yahshua cried out, “37 If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (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.

  The Scriptures witness that He was to be pierced, “…they pierced my hands and my feet,” Psa. 22:16 “And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn,” Zech. 12:10.

  Yahshua had to be pierced, struck, so that the Holy Spirit (living waters) could be made available not only to Israel, but to all of mankind. This is the central theme of the Scriptures from beginning to end. He is the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8).

  The name Yahweh is efei. Yod (i) is a hand, hei (e) means to behold or reveal, waw is a nail, hei (e), once again, means to behold or reveal. Thus, the name Yahweh declares that His hand (or hands) was (were) to be pierced with a nail (nails).

  Yahshua came in the Father’s name (Jn. 5:43). His name in Pictorial Hebrew is osfei. That’s yod (i) for hand; hei (e) for behold, reveal; waw (f) for nail; shin (s) for teeth (we eat and drink through our teeth); and ayin (o) for fountain. Thus, when Yahshua (Who was Yahweh before He became man) was lifted up, glorified, the fountain of living waters struck, then the rivers of living water (Holy Spirit) were made available to Yahweh’s people.

  By the way, the word Torah is erft in Pictorial Hebrew. In its own pictorial language, it is bearing witness thusly, “Behold (e) the man (r) nailed (f) to the cross (t).

  Just as we can’t live in this world without water, neither can we live in the Spirit world without the Holy Spirit (living water). Praise Yahweh that He satisfies our thirst and needs with water, and that He has made a way for us to receive heavens living waters so we may drink and live in the spirit for all eternity.

CONCLUSION

  Water is such a marvelous substance. It is necessary for life, it promotes life. All living organisms are composed of at least 60% water. Its characteristics reveal much to us about Yahweh, Yahshua, and the Holy Spirit. Water and its components hydrogen and oxygen are the most abundant elements in the whole of creation. It is the universal solvent and the best known cleansing agent. It is a type of the Holy Spirit, revealing in its chemical make-up that there has always been a Trinitarian relationship in the family of Elohim. Today, we know of that relationship as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. But it is not the misunderstood Trinitarian relationship of Christianity, and paganistic beliefs.

  I know that I have only covered such a small tiny microcosm of information about water and its qualities. There is so much more to learn about it. But from now on, when you drink water, receive rain, take a bath, go swimming, etc. reflect upon its vital importance to you, as well as its great revelation of the Elohim family of heaven.

Dear Brothers and Sisters of Yahweh’s Evangelical Assembly,

  Greetings in the name of Yahweh our Father and Yahshua our King and Savior. I am truly blessed and fascinated by all the true knowledge of Yahweh’s word that your Bible Correspondence Course is teaching me.

  It’s hard to believe how deep in darkness I was in when I was searching for Yahshua in the pagan infected Christendom churches. I truly believe Yahweh led me to your ministry to teach me the truth of His word.

  I just completed lesson #10 – “The Annual holy Days and Yahweh’s Plan of Salvation.” It is so fascinating to learn the true meanings of the Holy Days of Yahweh’s plan of salvation.

  It’s very interesting to learn how the true meanings are hidden in the Hebrew language and ancient Pictographic Hebrew language I learned from the Yahshua’s Witness Magazine (April-June 2010 Page 18-23).

  I can see now that it’s part of Satan’s world deception to confuse the pagan Christian churches with Bible translations from Hebrew to Greek, and Greek to English, and full of errors. But Christendom should be able to learn these things from the study about Ex. 12:15, Dt. 16:8, Mat. 16:1-12).

  The Pharisees and Sadducees of today is the Catholic pagan church and all of its pagan Protestant off shoot churches. It’s also amazing to me how the (Ruach Ha Kodesh) Holy Spirit has revealed to you the connection of Gen. 2:7 and Gen. 3:14, Adam – Man (red earth) is made out of dust; and Satan the serpent shall eat dust (man) all the days of his life. And Satan has kept man in his grip of false politically correct religions and governments; government corruption, exploiting weaker nations of their natural resources, farming their citizens like livestock to produce soldiers & police to operate these military machines and prison industrial complexes.

  We don’t hear the fear word “Communism” anymore…now we hear, “world without borders.” Communism is now called, New World Order” or “One World Order.”

  The churches of Christendom are falling right in line with this prophecy fulfilling Satanic deception by taking Scriptures out of context like Mal. 2:10.

  False preachers and false prophets and pastors are leading their deceived flocks into accepting the “New World Order” movement as the “Kingdom of God…” Even here in the California department of corrections prison’s system they use false religion to (1) semi-control inmate’s on staff violence. (2) keep inmates divided because they’re lost in Satan’s world of darkness. (3) keep inmates in submission to the oppression.

  Brothers and Sisters of Y.E.A. I want you to know we are having our own little Bible study out on the yard using your Y.E.A. Bible Correspondence Course. A lot of inmates are asking questions and starting to research deeper into Christendom and come out of its darkness into the light.

Satan is still working the same game by using politically correct false religion to control the populations of the world. We are seeing more and more in the U.S.A. Americans are being tricked into giving up more and more of their constitutional rights in the name of Homeland Security (Satanic Big Brother Control).

  I wish to thank you for using the original Hebrew words and language as you explain Bible Scriptures in your Bible studies. I’m learning some Hebrew, the language that Yahweh chose to reveal Himself and His law and I’m getting a clearer knowledge of the truth. HalleluYah!!!!! I am looking forward to Lesson #11.

Shalom TLT/CA

To Whom It May Concern at Y.E.A.

Shalom to my fellow brethren in Yahushua haMashiach. I receive your magazines, your newsletters periodically. I often read – re-read your magazines, hi-lite significant or outstanding phrases that are truly enthralling: those deep in-sights which convey a thought (-s) of what is being taught.

In Messiah, serving Him, FP/TX

Dear Jerry Healan,

Hello! In the wonderful name of Yahshua Ben Yahweh Peace, Love, & Blessings to you. Thank you. Thank you so much for the April-June Witness Magazine. Incredible! Absolutely Amazing! Both articles opening the heart, mind, & the Spirit moving in each line. You have been a major blessing.

Much Love, MM/TX

Dear Y.E.A.

Peace and blessings in Yahshua’s saving name… I am writing to thank you and commend YEA for the great work you are doing in spreading and teaching Scriptural truth. In your last issue article “Was Yahshua Created?” was a magnificent study. It was so good that a correctional officer confiscated it from me and took it to read it for himself and he loved it. So I am writing and requesting for another copy if you have an extra one because I did not finish reading my copy but I am at least grateful the c/o did. Yahweh bless you! JD/CA

Dear Brother Jerry,

  I pray that this letter finds you in the best of health and the highest of spirits. As for myself, I’m doing well. I want to thank you for the recent Yahshua’s Witness Magazine (Apr. – Jun. 2010). As always it has been a blessing to me and I have read it from cover to cover. I can’t even tell you how much it means to me to have so much sound doctrine to read/study and I want you to know how much I appreciate you and your ministry. Please put me on the list for your Bible Correspondence Course as I am eager to participate in it. You and your ministry are in my thoughts and prayers. In Him,

MS/FL
