Overcoming Hell

 Introduction

  Between sleep and waking up is when the idea about blogging about Hell began..  It was if I could feel the stress of Yahusha knowing He had to go there to defeat Death and Hell and to take the Keys of Death and Hell.  Death and Hell are Spirits and also a place.  What is interesting is that Satan in his pride wanted to be like Elohiym with the freedom to change creation.  That is to say having the Keys to Heaven and Earth.  He never overcome Heaven, but he did overcome Earth.  It was more like he scammed it away by deception, selling humanity to Death and Hell.

Death and Hell the Place

  In Genesis chapter one is the account of creation.  People lack the understanding of a Creation model and the changes involved in creation.  Today Science has admitted that there was a time of darkness where light and darkness was not divided.  Science has also admitted that there was formed solar systems much earlier in creation than they expected.  Just by knowing this, the question is, what was happening before Creation?  In other words, before a so called Big Bang?  

  Something cannot come out of nothing.  For every action there is a reaction.  So if creation was the reaction, what was the action that caused Creation?  His name is Yahuah Elohiym.  At the first step in creation is not verse 3 of Genesis one, It's verse one.  A created universe is a finished universe.  Verse 2 is the next section of the first step.  "Let there be, "  is the Hebrew word Hayah.  Today Hayah is hidden in verse two.  Hayah is the action of becoming something.  A finished universe became dark and without form.  The finishing section of the first step is let there be light.  Not just light, but the frequencies in the light that we don't have today.  We are not just taking about burned out stars, but the force of Yahuah's light to change things in our universe leaving a fingerprint of intelligence on then.  For example, our Earth.  The question is, how come Earth is not like Venus or Mars?  Why the perfect balance to support Life?  Just by chance doesn't work here.  It's to easy to destroy Earth.

  Before the first step of creation there was Yahuah Elohiym.  He is called the bright and Morning Star.  This is the source of the frequency that created and made changes on the universe.  He created a Cherub called Heylel BenSahar.  His name means "light-bearer, son of the morning."  He is  not a morning star.  He did not exist before the creation of our universe.  What is interesting is that the Abyss was created during that  first step of creation.  The questions are, why was there a need for the Abyss?  Why was a previous universe destroyed?  Was the Abyss created when the first universe went black?  I believe the answer to that is the spirit of Death and Hell needed to be contained.  A place was made around them.  A collapsed space time continuum.  The Abyss had a beginning , it will have an ending.  Earth's universe is between Heaven and the Abyss.  Why is light stretch out?  Why is the universe dark if it's so old?  Is our universe in the Valley of the Shadow of the Abyss? Is the expanding universe being vacuumed up only to be deposited in a recycle bin?  Like everything being vacuumed twords outer space making way for a new Universe.

  

    NKJV:  For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

  If people do not except Yahusha's gift of Salvation, after life ends, they go to the place called Hell.  If they are saved, the frequency in the dimensions of Elohiym's voice lifts them up into Heaven.  

The Spirit of Death and Hell

    There is 18 Hebrew and Greek words for Death.  Thanatos is the Greek name that I will focus on.  This name occurs 119 times in 106 verses of the Bible.  

  Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death,  And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.  Matthew 20:18-19

  This verse stood out to me first.  Notice how Yahusha is a prophet.  He knew before hand what would happen.  Notice how Yahusha is condemned to death, not by Judas Iscariot, but by the High Priest and his followers.  Romans crucified Yahusha  but found no fault in Him.  But our focus is on Death in this study.

  The Jewish council condemned Yahusha to Death.  This act is more than just taking a life because of some act of the accused did.  The Spiritual side of things is who we battle that is listed in Ephesians 6:12.  Death and Hell are among them.  The High Priest was controlled by Satanic spirits and their frequencies of Death. 

  Hell has another name, Hades.  It is Hades that manages the place called Hell.  Thanatos is son of Nyx and Erebus according to Euripides a Greek writer.  But yet Euripides said Death and Hell is one in the same.  We can only imagine an Evil trinity.  That is not described to us in the Bible.  Heylel BenSahar who became Satan could be Death and Hell.  Then again, Satan is listed separately in the destruction of Death, Hell and Satan.  On a side note, Nyx and Erebus is night and darkness.  The question is, did something that was not evil, and became evil before Satan, become Death and Hell between Genesis 1:1 and verse two?  They too are part of the evil listed in Ephesians 6:12.  Hades is the son of  and Rhea, the Crow and flowing stream.  Crows represent Death.  The Dove represents the Holy Spirit.  Could Hell be the spirit of Death?  To give a person Hell is to hand them over to the Spirit of Death.  Yahusha says to love your neighbor.  

  Satan the deceiver is cast into the Lake of Fire in Revelation 20:10 and Death and Hell is cast into the Lake of Fire in verse 14. 

  The devil, who deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone where the beast and the false prophet are. 

  (Notice how the former Antichrist, the beast and false prophet is terminated first.  Satan is terminated after them.)

  And they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.  Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. 

  (What that is saying is that the universe, the space time continuum ended.  If there is end to the continuum, time travel cannot move past that point. Our universe is time, space and matter.  Remove time, there is no space or planets that people or spirit can hide in.)

  And there was found no place for them.  And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before Elohiym, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.

  (Notice how the dead is being judged.  Those who have life everlasting is not among them.  The books is information on a multi dimensional level that goes way beyond our capacity to understand.)

 The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. 

  (The question is, why repeat something just said?  I believe this is not repeating, but another level of the multidimensional space time continuum.  The sea is not our oceans.  This sea is the vapors below our visible universe.  These beings probably came from a previous universe.)

  Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.  And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.

   These verses in Revelation 20 clearly separated Satan from Death and Hell as in different entities.  Heylel BenSahar the Cherub was the inside angel for Thanatos and his Evil spirit Hades.  Heylel who is now  Satan, gained control over Adam and Eve only to place them into the Evil trinity's hands.  Yahuah Elohiym informed Adam and Eve what would happen if they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  That is to say, recreate themselves into a different form.  But this information added and taken away in there spirit and DNA linked them to Thanatos.  

Overcoming Thanatos

   Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my Word, and believes on Him that sent me, has everlasting  Life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from Death unto Life. John 5:24

  These are the words of Yahusha Hamashia, the son of the Virgin Mary.  We must remember that Yahusha is the Word of Yahuah made flesh.  This  is  not just a walking Bible.  Yahusha is the multi dimensional word.   At a simple level, the Hebrew alphabet has it's own meaning for each letter.  That is to say, a Hebrew word can be read like a sentence.  For example, YHVH (Yahuah)  is hand behold nail behold.  His name is prophecy.  By hearing the Word of Yahusha and believing, this upsets the Kingdom of Thanatos on Earth.  If Death was just a lack of living, someone believing in Yahusha Hamashia would be received joyful, not  oppressed.  

   Assuredly, I say to you, there are some standing here who shall not taste death till they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom.”. Matthew 16:28

  To Taste Thanatos is to say having Communion with Thanatos.  People who are in Yahusha's salvation die every day, but they do not have Communion with Death.  The saved have Communion with Yahusha Hamashia.  The wine and bread at church is just an outward sign to the congregation that you are in communion with Yahusha called Jesus.  However I visited a church and they refused communion to me.  They would not give the wine and bread.  Were they condemning me over to Thanatos by refusing me? That  I don't know.  But they were saying by refusing me communion that I was the manifestation of a grave sin.  This i know to be false.  The church was in the deception of Thanatos.  The fruit of Thanatos in the church is a dead church, a church not growing.  

  I quote, "Withholding communion from someone is not a statement on the status of that person’s soul, but rather it is a reaction to publicly available information that shows the person is not in “communion” with the church and its teachings."

  To me the above statement is double talk.  How can one judge a person by not knowing them?  I have met people that was cast off the membership because of not handing over ten percent of their gross earnings.  I was visiting so therefore by public information unknown to them I am cast aside with those with grave sins.  I choose to have Communion with those like Mary Magdalene, not priests.  What does this have to do with overcoming Thanatos?  We must not be suckered into the actions of Thanatos, bright and shinny on the outside, full of corruption on the inside.  

Jeremiah 7

1-28. 

  

  The word that came to Jeremiah from Yahuah, saying, 

  (What is interesting here is the word came.  The Hebrew word is Hayah.  This word is used in creation.  Elohiym spoke, and it happened.  When Yahuah Elohiym spoke, it went across the space time continuum in a moment.  It's something like quantum entanglement.)   

  “Stand in the gate of Yahuah's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, ‘Hear the word of Yahuah, all you of Judah who enter in at these gates to worship Yahuah!’ ” Thus says Yahuah of Hosts, the Elohiym of Israel: 

   (Notice that Yahuah was speaking to the Tribe of Judah but yet Yahuah considers Himself the Elohiym of all of Israel).

   “Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.  Do not trust in these lying words, saying, ‘The temple of Yahuah , the temple of Yahuah, the temple of Yahuah are these. “For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbor,  if you do not oppress the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, or walk after other gods to your hurt, then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers forever and ever.  

  (Here are the points made by Yahuah Elohiym.  They are still true today and the nations need to consider them.

1.  Amend your ways

2.  Do not trust in deception

3.  Don't Judge unfairly 

4.  Do not oppress people 

5.  Do not shed innocent blood

6.  Don't follow fake gods.  

  The Elohiym of Abraham is not impressed by chanting His name if you continue to do evil.  War is messy and innocent people get killed.  Judging fairly becomes lost by the wayside.  Nations become drunk on the shedding of blood.  Some day the Earth will almost be destroyed because of wicked people. ) 

“Behold, you trust in lying words that cannot profit.  Will you steal, murder, commit adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know,  and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, ‘We are delivered to do all these abominations’? 

  (The Abominations are listed here.

1.  Trusting in deception

2.  Theft

3.  Murder 

4.  Adultery

5.  False Witness

6.  Baal Worship 

  Then people stand on or near the Temple Mount or in Churches across the world doing these things and think themselves are righteous.  Artificial intelligence in a Temple will be an abomination.)

  Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of thieves in your eyes?  Behold, I, even I, have seen it,” says Yahuah. 

  (This was Yahuah saying this before The Tribe of Judah was taken captive into Babylon.  Even then Persia who is Iran today held the Tribe of Judah captive.  Judah is Israel today.  Yahusha said the same thing.  The Temple was a Den of Thieves managed by reptilians.  70 CE the Temple was destroyed.  Judah didn't hear the Prophet Jeremiah and didn't hear the Prophet Yahusha.  They will not hear the two Prophets to come.)

 “But go now to My place which was in Shiloh, where I set My name at the first, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of My people Israel. And now, because you have done all these works,” says Yahuah, “and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear, and I called you, but you did not answer, therefore I will do to the house which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to this place which I gave to you and your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.  And I will cast you out of My sight, as I have cast out all your brethren—the whole posterity of Ephraim.

  (Shiloh was in the territory of Ephraim.  This story is told in Psalms 78:60-72.  Shiloh was where the Israelites lost the Ark of the Covenant.  This time Judah lost the Ark of the Covenant.  But Jeremiah hid the Ark of the Covenant so Babylon could not take it.)  

  “Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you. Do you not see what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?  The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven; and they pour out drink offerings to other gods, that they may provoke Me to anger.  Do they provoke Me to anger?” says Yahuah. 

  (The people, the society of Judea at the time of Jeremiah the prophet was so wicked that Yahuah Elohiym would be insulted if asked to bless them.  Cakes for the Queen of Heaven is cakes for Ishtar, the goddess of love and sexuality.  Constantine the Great is an Antichrist.  Faith in Yahusha Hamashia was blended with Baal Worship.  Ishtar and Easter have similar practices.  The Queen of Heaven has been masked with the image of the Virgin Mary.)

 " Do they not provoke themselves, to the shame of their own faces?”  Therefore thus says Yahuah Elohiym: “Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place—on man and on beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground. And it will burn and not be quenched.”Thus says Yahuah's of Hosts, the Elohiym of Israel: “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat meat.  For I did not speak to your fathers, or command them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices.  But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your Elohiym, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’  Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but followed the counsels and the dictates of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward.

  (The shame of Religion is that men added their own commandments and refused to follow Yahuah Elohiym.  From history we know that the first Temple was destroyed by Babylon.  The second Temple was destroyed by Rome because men's hearts are evil.  That is saying Babylon, Rome and Judea was wicked.  There is a Jewish State not because of Judaism, but because of Yahuah Elohiym's promises to Greater Israel. Under King Zedekiah's daughter, Ireland, Spain and the British prospered.  This is where Jeremiah planted her.)

  Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day, I have even sent to you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.  Yet they did not obey Me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.  “Therefore you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not obey you. You shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.

  (Yahuah Elohiym was speaking about the Jewish people to the Prophet Jeremiah.  After a point of drifting away from Yahuah's Word, the ability to understand the transcending relationship with Yahuah Elohiym becomes strange because people adopted strange gods made from the dust of the universe.  Yahuah Elohiym is not of this Universe.  He created, recreated and will bring this universe to an end.  Those who are written in the Book of Life has a passport to enter a new universe.)

28-34. “So you shall say to them, ‘This is a nation that does not obey the voice of Yahuah their Elohiym nor receive correction. Truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth. 

  (You know just by human nature that the Jews of Jeremiah's day were angry with him after he said this.  

 Cut off your hair and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the desolate heights; for Yahuah has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.’  For the children of Judah have done evil in My sight,” says Yahuah. “They have set their abominations in the house which is called by My name, to pollute it.  

  (The shaving of the head was an act of demonstrating humility, shame, mourning and repentance.  When the Bible says the children of Judah, this dies not include all Israelites.  Only the Jewish people.  Adding anything or the removal of anything in the Temple is following Satan's example in his rebellion against Yahuah Elohiym.  Satan was kicked out of the Highest Heaven because he was polluting Heaven by being there with his pride.  On Earth the Temple is destroyed and rebuilt because of sin)

  And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, which I did not command, nor did it come into My heart. 

  (In a green valley, the Jews built an altar to Moloch.  Drums and/or tambourines was played to mix with the screaming children placed in the hot copper arms of Moloch.  The god Saturn is related to Moloch.  Today Christian holidays like Christmas mass is  where people are thinking of Jesus as a child and are drinking wine and bread that resembles Him.  This is all done at the time of year where Saturn worship held it's holiday, December 17–23.  What is interesting is that Hanukkah is about the same time of year.  It's celebrated with kosher wine and sweet bread made with egg yokes and honey.)

 “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says Yahuah, “when it will no more be called Tophet, or the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter; for they will bury in Tophet until there is no room.  The corpses of this people will be food for the birds of the heaven and for the beasts of the earth. And no one will frighten them away.

  (This prophecy has not been fulfilled as of yet.  Another horrible holocaust is coming.  This will happen when the false Messiah will betray his Jewish following.  Unburied bodies happens in a time of war.  I believe this will be during the battle of Armageddon, the last World War just before the time of Yahusha's return.)

  Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride. For the land shall be desolate.

  (Cities are always targeted during war.  Food and supplies are confiscated, people are taken as slaves and violated.  This is why it is written in the Bible that when the Abomination of Desolation is set up in the Temple, those in Judea are to leave.  They are not to return to their house to get supplies or they will get caught up in the Holocaust.)

    “Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place” (whoever reads, let him understand), “then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains.   Matthew 24:15-16

  

Messiah, Jewish or Christian?

 In the book of Daniel, it is written that the Messiah will be cut off.  Daniel 9:24-27

The Seventy Weeks

  “Seventy weeks  are decreed about your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to put an end to sin, and to atone for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal both vision and prophet, and to anoint a most holy place. Know therefore and understand that from the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem to the coming of an anointed one, a prince, there shall be seven weeks. Then for sixty-two weeks it shall be built again with squares and moat, but in a troubled time. And after the sixty-two weeks, an anointed one shall be cut off and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince who is to come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. Its end shall come with a flood, and to the end there shall be war. Desolations are decreed.  And he shall make a strong covenant with many for one week, and for half of the week he shall put an end to sacrifice and offering. And on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate, until the decreed end is poured out on the desolator.”

  The first two underlined phrases is the point in time that determines when the 70 weeks begins to when the Second Temple is constructed.  70 weeks is 490 years, one day is one year.  The third underlined phrase is Herod's Temple.  That is about 483 years after the decree .   It was 49 years from the decree to the restoration of Jerusalem after Judea was captured.  Then started the 434 years to the coming of the Messiah for a total of 483 years.   

   But Judaism don't believe that Yahusha Hamashia was the Messiah because they did not see freedom from the Romans and a Jewish controlled world set up.  I will go back to Daniel and quote, "in a troubled time." Then with the Messiah cut off, where is the time for the Messiah to bring peace?  Therefore Messiah will return 

  I believe this is where the world will put a spin on prophecy.  They will say that Antichrist is the Messiah.  In the middle of the 7 year peace treaty, Antichrist is cut off.  This will be a Satanic counterfeit, a mockery of Yahusha's death and resurrection.  False Messiah will somehow live, but he will not be what Judaism is expecting.  

  Going back to the 70 weeks of 483 years, the fourth underlined phrase is 70 CE.  Notice how it says the people of the prince destroyed the Sanctuary. This is and will be fulfilled in two ways.  First the Roman Army went beyond the orders given to them.  Secondly it will be fulfilled when Antichrist is in charge.  The prince is yet to come.  

  The fifth underlined phrase is the beginning of the last week, the last 7 years.  This last week is disconnected from the 69 years.  Christians see this as the Tribulation.  The last half is the Great Tribulation, it is another spiritual day that begins in the middle of the week.  

  What to expect.

  Judaism will build a Third Temple.  I believe the false Messiah will be responsible for it being rebuilt.  There will be peace for awhile.  This prince will follow the checklist of what Judaism requires to be the Messiah.  

1. a  male descendant of the Jewish King David,

2.  human - he will have a human birth and human parents,

3.  a perfect teacher of God’s law, 

4. a great political leader - inspirational and a good judge, 

5. able to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem,

6.  ruler over humanity - but he will rule with kindness, the bringer of peace to the world,

7. able to unite humanity

  My own ancestry goes back to King David of Israel through King Zedekiah's daughter and also through Joseph of Arimathea.  But Judaism requires that the Mother must be Jewish through Jewish records. I'm not Jewish by DNA or by mother.  My ancestry in Israel zigzags through my roots.  Yahusha's ancestry went through King Zedekiah's daughter and Joseph of Arimathea's brother also.  It's just that the children of King Zedekiah's daughter is not recognized by Jews.  Yahusha qualified but is rejected  because the Virgin Mary's mother Anna is not recognized as Jewish.  

  The bones of Jewish people that lived 1600 to 2000 years ago was tested for blood type.  They came from Jerusalem and En Gedi.  50.91% of these were from the AB-group.  Yahusha Hamashia had AB blood.  Samples was taken from Yahusha's burial cloths.  It's interesting that only about only 0.40% of the world's population has AB blood type.

  Must be human.  It's like the Jews made this one up after the birth of Yahusha.  Anyone having Adam as a grandfather is corrupted.  The question is, will the false Messiah be human?  Or is he a reptilian through Satan's seed as told in Genesis?  Yahusha qualified because He had Mary's 23 chromosomes.  Adam received his Y chromosome from Yahuah of Hosts and Yahusha Hamashia is Yahuah if Hosts.  Yahusha is better than human.  

  There is no doubt that Yahusha Hamashia was a perfect teacher of Elohiym's Law.  He fulfilled that at the age of 12.  The problem was, Yahusha exposed the corruption of the Temple system.  The High Priest at the time wasn't chosen correctly, he was appointed by Rome.  I believe the Messiah  and the coming High Priest, the false prophet will be chosen by Government.  

  Yahusha was the perfect Leader.  He had Jews, Romans and Samaritans following his leadership.  He had fishermen, a tax collector, priests, women respected  and not respected by society following Him.  The false Messiah will have deception, political manipulation of the people who will worship him.  

  When Yahusha arrived on the seen, there was a temple of stone built already.  Herod made sure that it was Grand.  Herod wasn't Jewish and yet he was behind the remodelling of the Temple.  Therefore Satan made sure Yahusha didn't build the Temple.  The coming false Messiah will be the same way.  A Third Temple will be built by him but then he will be the Abomination that brings desolation. After the coming Earthquake, nothing will be standing.  Yahusha will return and build the Fourth Temple, but really it is the fifth. 

  Yahusha Hamashia has been ruling over humanity for almost 2000 years.  It's just that He is also our High Priest and is making atonement in Heaven.  Also  preparing a place for us in heaven.  The false Messiah will be given leadership for 42 months over the earth because people have a taste for world leadership.  

  Yahusha is accused of not able to unite humanity.  I say He has.  It doesn't matter who you were or where you came from,  those who are in Yahusha, people live peacefully together.  Then there are those who do not believe in Him.  Some are good people.  Others are wicked inside and out.  Somehow the false Messiah will make people believe that this battle has been overcome.  But really the situation has been clouded.  It's all smoke and mirrors.  When they say peace and safety, suddenly there will be war.  

  The Gospel of Yahusha was quickly taken to where the Northern Israelites lived in the first century.  Joseph of Arimathea took it to the British (covenant man) after being expelled from Judea along with Mary Magdalene and others.  The Apostle Paul did the same thing.  Saint Paul's location in London was where the Apostle Paul spoke before London was rebuilt.  

  Christians faced persecution from the Roman leadership and Judaism.  The first move if the antichrist spirit was through Constantine the Great.  Under his reign, the Bible was controlled and Christianity became blended with paganism.  

  The Inquisition was in the spirit of Antichrist also.  Believers in Yahusha Hamashia was executed because they didn't follow the leadership of Rome.  Men and women was burned at the stake for worshipping Yahuah as they believed in Him.  Meanwhile the Bible wasn't allowed in the hands of the people outside of the Priests.  

  The spirit of Antichrist that is and is to come in the church, is not recognizing Yahusha for who He is.  It's also the church not recognizing the Holy Spirit. Churches have invited other spirits into their churchs.  

 The spirit of Antichrist are things like  what happened when the Western church did not reach out to the Eastern Church when they were being hunted down in the middle east.  In Syria, Egypt, Palestine, Israel and Iraq, the Christian population has been steadily going down.  What is interesting is that UAE and Saudi Arabia the Christian population has been going up.  It's interesting that there is war in Syria, Palestine, Israel and Iraq.  Remove the Christians, remove the blessing from Yahuah.  Something will happen in the Western Church also.  Remove Yahuah, you remove Yahuah's blessings.  

  

Daniel 12

1.  And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of your people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time your people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

  This verse is recognizing the time before Daniel lived in, during that time and their near future and saying this prophecy is in a future beyond.  By mentioning the Book of Life, it placed this prophecy at the end of the Age of Grace when there is the Light of the World, Yahusha Hamashia.  The Day of Wrath begins with Darkness.  

2.  And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.

  This verse is a prophecy of the first and second resurrection as seen in the New Testament prophecy.  When the Age of Grace began, Old Testament Saints was freed from Hell and moved to Paradise in Heaven.  I believe the first Resurrection will happen when the Two Witnesses are Resurrected in Jerusalem.  The second resurrection will happen before the Great White Throne Judgment.  

3.  And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.

  For a person to shine like the sun, they would need to be transfigured like Yahusha's transfiguration.

4.  But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

  Today people move about more than ever.  In the nations that do, people are more knowledgeable than nations who's people are restricted.  If we don't understand a word, all we need to do is translate the original language into today's language online.  Between Bing and Google, there's a little different translation.  The point being, anyone can understand what Daniel was writing if you want to.  

5-7.  Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.  And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?  And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

  The symbolism in this verse is interesting.  The only person to have walked on water, not talking about ice, is Yahusha Hamashia known as Jesus Christ.  One hand towards Heaven and one towards Daniel is saying without words, it was Him that is the way to Heaven.  A time, times, and an half  is three and a half years or 42 months. This would be in light of the first verses of this chapter.  42 months after the resurrection of the Saints.  

8-9.  And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Adon, what shall be the end of these things?  And he said, Go your way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

  It's interesting that Daniel called Him Adon.  When the Bible says Jesus is Lord, it is saying Yahusha is Adon.  Today we understand.  We are nearing the 42 months. 

10.  Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

  This verse clearly states, many will be Glorified while the wicked have no understanding of what is going on when they are Caught Up into Heaven.  

11.  And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that makes desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

  From the Ezekiel 38 study, we understand that the Western Europe Nations and the USA has some conflict with Gog and Magog union.  Gog, the Antichrist will betray Judea, the Nation of Israel.  The Third Temple will be defiled like that of Antiochus Epiphanes.  Antiochus set up Zeus to be worshipped while Gog, Antichrist will set himself up to be worshipped.  What is interesting is that Google translated this verse as the moon was removed and the sun darkened.  Bing translated it as the  the perpetual was removed.  But what ever the change is, it will last 1290 days.  That's about 3 years,194 days and 6 hours. 

12.  Blessed is he that waiteth, and comes to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

 The difference between 1335 days and 1290 days is 45 days.  I believe within those 45 days much will change with how the maps will be reworked.  

13.  But go your way till the end be: for you shalt rest, and stand in your lot at the end of the days.

  Daniel resting is to saying he died.  To stand in his lot at the end is to say he will be resurrected at the end of days.  I'm sure Daniel will return with Yahusha Hamashia when He returns.  

Daniel 11

1.  Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him.

  About 550–486 BCE.  

2-4.  And now will I show you the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.  And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.  And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled: for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

  It was Alexander the Great that ruled the Middle East from 336 BCE to 323 BCE.  His empire was in Anatolia, Syria, Phoenicia, Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, Afghanistan, and India.  The four Nations given to the four generals after his death would be Greece, Turkey, Iran and Egypt.  

5-6.  And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.  And in the end of years they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.

Hellenistic Syrian Empire from 223 BC to 187, and Egypt. 

7-10. But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail: and shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the north.  So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own land.  But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be stirred up, even to his fortress.

245—241 BC.

11-13.  And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be given into his hand.  And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.  For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and with much riches.

Syria was defeated by Egypt in 217 BCE.

14-16.  And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.  So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there be any strength to withstand.  But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.

About 200 BCE Syria defeated Egypt.  The Jews took different sides.  

17-29.  He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do: and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.  After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him.  Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.  Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.  And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.  And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.  And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.  He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.  And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.  Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain.  And both of these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper: for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.  Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits, and return to his own land.  At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.

 This is where this prophecy gets blurry in the time continuum.  This prophecy has been fulfilled 193-191 BCE.  But history repeats itself and prophecy is multi dimensional.  These Isles are the Greek islands but also can be the British Isles in the future.  However names change, but not the flow through the timeline.  Today Egypt has the canal between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.  Neom is being built in Northwest Saudi Arabia.  The King of the North will want this for himself.  

  King Antiochus Epiphanes, of Greece reigned over Syria from 175 BC until 164 BCE.  He brutally persecuted the Jews and conquered Egypt.  The Jews called him Antiochus  Epimanes insinuating he was mad or insane.  There was a division between Jewish theology.  To avoid the infighting, Antiochus outlawed Judaism altogether.  He set up Zeus to be worshipped.  Jews was killed, inslaved or ordered to eat pig flesh.  Pork was not kosher.  Antiochus set up the abomination of desolation.  However that is a foreshadowing of the future.  

  Antiochus invaded Egypt in 169 BCE.

30-32.  For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the Holy Covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.  And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that makes desolate.  And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their Elohiym shall be strong, and do exploits.

  164 BCE Greece became a Roman province.  64 BCE Syria becomes a Roman province.  58 BCE Chittim/Cyprus became a Roman province.  Today Cyprus belongs to the Southern Republic of Cyprus, Northern Cyprus, and Britain.  Cyprus is part of the European Union.  Turkish Cyprus is not recognized as a Nation.  This is to say that the European Union in the future will go against the coming Antichrist.  This is when Antichrist, the false Messiah will betray the Nation of Israel.  

33-35.  And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.  Now when they shall fall, they shall be aided with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.  And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.

  This is a transition between history and the future.  

36.  And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.

  This does not fit Antiochus Epiphanes.  Judea was not freed at his end.  They became a provence of Rome after the fall of Antiochus Epiphanes.  Antichrist, the False Messiah will fulfill these verses. 

37.  Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.

  To be a Jewish Messiah, you don't need to be Divine.  You need to be a son of Joseph for one, or a son of King David for the other.  Your mother must be Jewish, not your father.  With your father having a Jewish mother, your ancestry is Jewish.  This false Messiah is not a practicing Jew.  He will not be a Christian also.  He will not be Muslim.  He will be full of pride like that of Satan.  Antiochus Epiphanes worshipped the Greek pantheon, especially Zeus.

38-39.  But in his estate shall he honor the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.  Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

  The god of the false Messiah will be power.  What kind of god that can be placed everywhere and is manmade?  That is the Artificial intelligence of a computer.  It can look and acted human.  It will even kill.  

40.  And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

  According to the verses in this chapter, south will be Egypt and north was Syria.  However it is not Syria, but north of Syria, beyond Turkey.  That would be the Ukraine.  This false Messiah's kingdom will last 42 months.  Western Europe will have made an attempt at the beginning to control the Middle East.  The question is, what is the outcome of the Ukrainian Russian war?  Another question is, was that war created to give Antichrist space to build his empire?  In this verse we see a coalition from the far north and from Egypt and Saudi Arabia going against Antichrist.  

41.  He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

  It's interesting how Jordanian area is not conquered and Judea is.  I believe the Antichrist kingdom will look like the Roman empire on steroids.  It's interesting that Rome never conquered the Ukraine.  Other nations not touched by Rome is the Scandinavian country and Scotland.  

42-43.  He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape.  But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

  The Antichrist Empire will have victories in the south of Jerusalem.  This Empire will spread like cancer.  

44.  But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.

  North and East of Jerusalem is the Ukraine to the shores of the Pacific coast.  This includes Russia, China, Korea, Japan and parts of Southeast Asia.  

45.  And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

  This last verse is interesting how it stands alone.  Antichrist will plant his own temple on the Temple Mount having no regard for Judaism, Christian theology or Islam.  The question is, what happened to the Third Temple?  Before the 42 months there was one.  When the 42 months is about over, we see what could be desolation of everything there today.  A man that wants to be worshipped would place his palace and temple on the Temple Mount.  

  This is the end of this study.  As time moves towards the end, things become more clear in what will happen.  

Ezekiel 38

1-6  The word of Yahuah came to me:  “Son of man, set your face toward Gog, of the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him and say, Thus says Yahuah Elohiym: 

  The word came, is the Hebrew word Haya.  It is used in Genesis 1 saying, let there be.  I believe this is an insight on how Prophets receive prophecy from Yahuah.  Yahuah Elohiym says, become knowledgeable of prophecy and the prophet does.  

  Gog of the land of Magog is Turkey and the ruler of Turkey.  The other nations today would be Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and up into the Caucus Mountains.  

  Son of man is how Yahusha Hamashia talked about Himself.  But in this verse the son of man is the Prophet Ezekiel.  What Ezekiel has in common with Yahusha Hamashia is that they are both Prophets.

  Behold, I am against you, O Gog, chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.  And I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in full armor, a great host, all of them with buckler and shield, wielding swords.  Persia, Cush, and Put are with them, all of them with shield and helmet;  Gomer and all his hordes; Beth-togarmah from the uttermost parts of the north with all his hordes—many peoples are with you.

  Persia is Iran.  Cush I believe is Yemen and Somalia.  Put is not Egypt or the Gaza strip.  It may be Libya or the Sudan, but perhaps it is Eritrea. 

  Gomer, Beth-togarmah, I believe to be East European nations that side with Turkey.   

  Meshech and Tubal I believe could be Georgia North of the caucus mountains to Jordan.  

  

7-9. “Be ready and keep ready, you and all your hosts that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them.  After many days you will be mustered. In the latter years you will go against the land that is restored from war, the land whose people were gathered from many peoples upon the mountains of Israel, which had been a continual waste. Its people were brought out from the peoples and now dwell securely, all of them.  You will advance, coming on like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your hordes, and many peoples with you.

  These three verses are interesting.  The question is, who is Yahuah Elohiym taking about.  It was the Northern Tribes of Israel that was taken into Assyrian territory.  The book of Ezekiel I believe was written 593–571 bce.  About 140 years earlier in 721 B.C. is when Assyria captured the Northern Israelites.  Soon after there was northern people known as the Sacans.  I believe a small part of these northern people are called the Saxons.  The land whose people that was gathered from many peoples upon the mountains of Israel sounds like the USA.  The  question is, will they be in northern Israel at the  time of Gog and Magog?  It's not just the USA, the whole coalition.  The question is, why do they need to come to Israel in our future?  This appears that Turkey and it's coalition will attack Israel and the western nations who stand with Israel.  Is it a battle for the financial gains of the Red Sea passage, oil, or religion?  Does the City of Neom have anything to do with it? 

10-16. Thus says Yahuah Elohiym: On that day, thoughts will come into your mind, and you will devise an evil scheme and say, ‘I will go up against the land of unwalled villages. I will fall upon the quiet people who dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having no bars or gates,’ to seize spoil and carry off plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places that are now inhabited, and the people who were gathered from the nations, who have acquired livestock and goods, who dwell at the center of the earth.  Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish and all its leaders will say to you, ‘Have you come to seize spoil?  Have you assembled your hosts to carry off plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to seize great spoil?’. “Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and say to Gog, Thus says Yahuah Elohiym: On that day when my people Israel are dwelling securely, will you not know it?  You will come from your place out of the uttermost parts of the north, you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great host, a mighty army.  You will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land. In the latter days I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when through you, O Gog, I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.

  The Turkish coalition will have two targets.  The quiet people that dwell safely and the destroyed areas.  It's no wonder what nations who live safely and have wealth.  That's western Europe and Israel.  But it is  Jerusalem that is centered on the Earth.  The destroyed areas would be the Gaza Strip and cities in Syria and perhaps Iraq and Iran. 

  But what I find interesting is that Dedan is in the area of the New city of Neom in Saudi Arabia.  Sheba on the other hand, research says it is Yemen.  Yemen could be Cush also.  Perhaps there will be a military base north of Yemen.  Certainly  Yemen is a point of interest in Bible prophecy.  Ships of Tarshish is the Navy of the west Mediterranean Sea Nations.  

17-23. “Thus says Yahuah Elohiym: Are you he of whom I spoke in former days by my servants the prophets of Israel, who in those days prophesied for years that I would bring you against them?  But on that day, the day that Gog shall come against the land of Israel, declares Yahuah Elohiym, my wrath will be roused in my anger.  For in my jealousy and in my blazing wrath I declare, On that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.  The fish of the sea and the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep on the ground, and all the people who are on the face of the earth, shall quake at my presence. And the mountains shall be thrown down, and the cliffs shall fall, and every wall shall tumble to the ground.  I  will summon a sword against Gog on all my mountains, declares the Yahuah Elohiym.  Every man's sword will be against his brother.  With pestilence and bloodshed I will enter into judgment with him, and I will rain upon him and his hordes and the many peoples who are with him torrential rains and hailstones, fire and sulfur.  So I will show my greatness and my holiness and make myself known in the eyes of many nations. Then they will know that I am Yahuah.

  This last section reminds me of movies where the corrupted world powers are Incapacitated.  Local leadership defend themselves or attack their own neighborhood rivals.  

  This chapter of Ezekiel has a long timeline.  It was written about 2,600 years ago.  But yet it sounds like the news today.  But we need to compare Ezekiel 38 with other end time prophecy of the Bible.  If the nation of Israel signs an agreement with it's Muslim neighbors and they become defenceless, their Messiah may be Antichrist.  The Third Temple is not Ezekiel's Temple. The  false Messiah will betray Judah.  Daniel chapter 11 plays a part of all this.  Will Gog attack Northwest Saudi Arabia?  What happens north of Gog and Magog that disturbs Antichrist?  Who is the Eastern Army?   

Discernment of Church Spirits

  Not every spirit in the church is Holy.  When entering a church, the question is, is the Holy Spirit there?  The evidence of the Holy Spirit is spiritual gifts seen in the people that go there.  If most people are silent, the church is sick.  Children in a healthy church are children with joy on their faces.  If they look away quickly after judgemental eye contact with you, something is deeply wrong.  If quite people lovingly want you to quiet down, something is wrong.  If people manipulate you away from other people, something is wrong.  If someone says keep your ideas to yourself, something is wrong.  If someone says, well some of us knows are parts, something is wrong.  Let's take a few leading spirits in the church and discern them.  

  The Gatekeeper.  I'm not talking about the greeters when you enter the church.  However their spirit needs discernment too.  The Gatekeeper is the spirit of the church that overshadows the mission of the church.  The questions are, is the basic road to salvation explained in a way so that people know why they need to believe in Yahusha Hamashia?  Or is the church a club where people socialize with unwritten rules on who the popular people are and who to suck up to?  The gatekeeper is a spirit that controls who is granted access to a category or status.  They also keep people out of the church or out of entering Heaven.  The gatekeeper spirit has the power to decide who gets particular resources and opportunities to advance in the church as local positions or enter the ministry as pastor and who does not become pastor.  

  But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people's faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in. Matthew 23:13

  The Diplomat.  This spirit controls negotiations and maintain political, economic, and social relations with the world.  It's this spirit that probably needs the most discernment because people for the most part are not aware of what is inside a false front.  What we need to look out for is anger, envy, lust, pride, gluttony, sloth and covetousness.  

  Did you ever feel unwanted in the church?  Has the pastor ever visited you because you haven't performed in the way they want you to?  Then when he sees your nice home, there's a disturbance in him because of covetousness.  Has a pastor ever crossed the line of being friends into lust?  Or have you felt like you insulted their pride by knowing more about spiritual things? 

  Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. Matthew 23 :27

  The Prodigal Spirit.    It's the Prodigal spirit of the church that will walk away from Yahuah Elohiym.  This spirit gathers everyone and everything the church has and exposes it to the world.  Extravagant indulgences waisted the churches spiritual armor and resources.   As the  church begins to die, funding dwindles down.  In this spiritual and financial famine, the church becomes dependent on government grants.  Already the church has a 501(c)(3) that states Bible based teaching of how government should be is against IRS rules.  Under 501(c)(3) donor information must be provided to the IRS.  Typically churches like providing tax exemptions for rich donors so the church can have a large bank account.  These grants are offered to churches to cover expensive building repairs, not for spiritual food for the poor in spirit.  To say it simply, church becomes a club for the few rich people that control it.  It would be better if donations wasn't tax exempt. 

  People that left the church will not give money to the church.  They will return to Yahuah Elohiym in spirit or they will return to life without church and without Elohiym.  Those Believers that are unchurched seek out others in their daily routine for a few minutes of fellowship.  It's like my grandfather said about the early railroad companies, they got taxed and regulated out of business.  Gone is the rail service for the small communities.  What is interesting is that you can get taxed out of the  Gospel by tax exemptions. 

  And he said to him, ‘Son, you are always with me, and all that is mine is yours.  It was fitting to celebrate and be glad, for this your brother was dead, and is alive; he was lost, and is found.  Luke 15:31-32

  Spirit of the Sloth.  Have you ever been in a church where nobody gets to know you.  Nobody cares or makes an effort in the duties and responsibilities towards Yahusha Hamashia and others.    

 “Slothfulness casts into a deep sleep, and an idle person will suffer hunger.” (Proverbs 19:15).

  In the Old Testament, Rahab the harlot was justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way.  The body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is also dead.  The question is, what is dead Faith?  

  I believe we can see dead faith in the Disciple Thomas.  He had walked and talked with Yahusha, but lacked the works like Mary Magdalene had. This shows that just being with Yahusha and being blessed by Him does not mean you have living faith. After Yahusha Hamashia was resurrected, He showed Himself to Mary Magdalene first.  She was there at the crucifixion and first to the tomb.  Yahusha showed himself to the disciples, but Thomas was not there.  The question is, where was he?  Was he still afraid, hiding himself.  Today there are people of faith that hide themselves.  They may go every Sunday but not associate with others.  

  What is interesting is that there are people who are very active in the church but don't have the faith in Yahusha Hamashia.  The Holy Spirit is not in the church.  They are not baptized in the Holy Spirit and Fire.  Their works without faith does not give Yahuah Elohiym the recognition.  They keep it for themselves using the church's name.  

  Yahusha said, “I must work the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night comes, when no man can work.” 

  The Spirit of Apathy.  Apathy is an indifference to knowing what should be done and also not acting upon it.  There are people in the community that the church should visit but they do not.  There is teaching, reaching out to people and the church is occupied with talking about sports.  

  I'm reminded about the message to the  church in Laodicea, Revelation three.  That church wasn't hot or cold.  To Yahuah Elohiym, that church makes Him vomit.  This church thinks of itself that everything is good but really it is wicked.  The hidden horrible things are mixed in with good but halfhearted things.  Both are not addressed in the church.  

  There are churches with six color rainbows outside welcoming people.  This is a nod to the same sex community that their life choice is blessed at the church.  It's not that the church shouldn't reach out to them, the sin of the church is changing the scriptures and ignoring the Holy Spirit's calling on same sex unions.  The Apostle John writes Yahusha Hamashia's words.

  As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten.  Be zealous therefore and repent.

  As for me, everyone has sin in their lives.  Sin is sin.  The question is, do we punish one sin and ignore the other?  Do we call a physical relationship that is not natural or a relationship that is cheating on a commitment something Holy and Sacred? 

  Yahusha Hamashia is knocking at the door wanting to fellowship with us.  This door is an extra dimensional part of our being that people are blind to.  They are confused to who it is.  Those who do hear the Holy Spirit need to take action on what the Holy Spirit says. It's the relationship with Yahuah Elohiym that is sacred.  

  So where is this all going?  Why do people in the church have foul language and yet speak of church?  Why do people try to appear godly and yet crave eye candy?  Why do people treat others as eye pollution?  I am reminded of the Ten Commandments.  Exodus 20.

3.  You shall have no other Elohiym before me.

4.  “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5.  You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I Yahuah your Elohiym am a jealous Elohiym, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me,

6 but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.

  The question is, how does Yahuah visit the Iniquity?  I quote, "iniquity is the dirtiness that lives in you when you've engaged in sin by transgressing Elohiym's law." In other words, if a person has living filth in them, it continues to live in the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of that person.  The question is, do we just let that filth continue to live inside us?  Do we continue to suffer or face divine judgment, or do we seek Divine Help?  First we need to discern the spirit of all situations.  We need to call Holy, Holy and call Iniquity, Iniquity.  We need to move away from gaining the approval of the World for the image we portray.  We are created in Elohiym's Image, we should seek to continue it in our future.  We should not yield to the approved image of the World.  Finally, we need to seek Yahuah Elohiym's Love.  Yahusha Hamashia is the way .  In Yahusha, Iniquity cannot survive.
