MORE ON THE CROSS

  WOW! Our articles on the cross have certainly stirred up a snake’s nest! One group especially makes every attempt that they can to put this truth down. I would have left this subject alone had they not posted some incomplete data. They’ve gone to one scholar, E.W. Bullinger in their last newsletter, who almost always had his own ideas about things. It’s just like anything and anyone. You can find scholars who you will agree with, and others who you will disagree with. I happen to disagree with E. W. Bullinger on his dissertation concerning the cross because he says that the Greek word stauros (generally translated as cross in the New Testament) no more means a crux (Latin for cross) than the word “stick” means a “crutch.” You know, it’s too bad that Mr. Bullinger evidently never discussed this with Mr. James Strong (who developed Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance) and J. H. Thayer (Who produced The New Thayer’s Greek English Lexicon) (And other scholars). They both agree that stauros means cross. But we shouldn’t just let the scholars have the final say, we should allow the Scriptures to corroborate everything. That is what we endeavor to do here. Remember, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof is the ways of death,” Prov. 14:12; 16:25.

  Even the Greek word xulon was addressed, in this group’s latest newsletter article on the cross, which was defined as “...generally denotes a piece of a dead log of wood, or timber, for fuel or for any other purpose. It is not like dendron, which is used of a living, or green tree, as in Matthew 21:8; Revelation 7:1,3; 8:7; 9:4, &c.

  Goodness, it would be great if someone would search a little deeper before they make such brazen statements! As a matter of fact xulon is utilized in Luke 23:31, “For if they do these things in a green tree (xulon), what shall be done in the dry?”

  Then there is Revelation 2:7, “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the assemblies; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree (xulon) of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of Yahweh.” 22:2, “In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree (xulon) of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree (xulon) were for the healing of the nations.” 22:14, “Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree (xulon) of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”

  The definition given in their newsletter certainly doesn’t match these Scriptural verses here, do they? I would truly say that these trees (xulons) are not only green and living, but they would/will have BRANCHES, wouldn’t you? (Someone should have clued the author of that article and the one who presented the definition in on the facts.)

  Also, did you know that the cross was utilized as a symbol of deliverance in the Old Testament, of all places!? It is found in the book of Ezekiel, “1 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar. 3 And the glory of the Elohim of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side; 4And Yahweh said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. 5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: 6 Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house,” 9:1-6.

  It was said (implying me) that someone knew just enough Hebrew to be dangerous. Dangerous to whom? Maybe dangerous to the man who printed the statement. You see, if we just allow the English to rule, then we never know what kind of mark it was that was placed on these people’s foreheads. The Hebrew word for “mark” in these verses is taw (ft). Taw     (ft) is the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet. It looks like this (t) in more ancient Pictorial Hebrew, and like this (t/+) in Paleo Hebrew.

  Now the charge is that the cross is a “pagan” symbol, and true enough, it has been utilized in paganism for millennia. But the question would be “Why would Yahweh originally incorporate the cross in the original Hebrew alphabet if it is pagan?” The answer is that Yahweh originally incorporated the tau (t) into the Hebrew alphabet and the serpent is the one who took it and made it into something corrupt. It’s the same with the sun. We all know that Yahweh created the sun, but the pagans worship it, don’t they? So does that mean that we can’t enjoy the sun, its light, its warmth, its good things that it does for us? No, it’s just that we should never worship it, make images of it and place them on our altars, etc., and neither should we do that with the cross.

  As a matter of fact, Yahshua told the Apostle John that he is the aleph (a) and tau (t). (He didn’t say alpha and omega, He was speaking to a Hebrew, just as He spoke Hebrew to the Apostle Paul in Acts 26:14.) The aleph (a) is the beginning, the very first letter of the Hebrew alphabet just like the “A” is our first letter, so it does represent that which is first, the beginning, a head, chief, master, etc. It is pictorially the head of an ox. Now all of the ancient pagan gods were represented as bull-gods. Aaron made the image of an ox which the Israelites were worshipping and dancing around when Moses came down from the mount the first time.

  You see, the Hebrew word, or equivalent to the English word “god” is El. El is presented as la in Pictorial Hebrew. (Hebrew reads from right to left.) We can figure out some things that will lead us directly to Yahshua concerning this word. It will prove to us, without a doubt that He is certainly El or “god” (if that word is your cup of tea).

  The aleph (a) is the head of an ox, and typifies the head, chief, first, master, etc. The lamed (l) has to do with a rod of authority, shepherd’s rod, and also had to do with a teacher.

  So now we can look at this word and see that the Hebrew word El has to do with the head or chief authority, a mighty one, or chief shepherd, or great teacher, etc.

  Peter calls Yahshua the Chief Shepherd, “And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away,” 1 Pet. 5:4.

  All we have to do is couple these facts with John 1:1-3 and we have greater support for the fact that Yahshua is El/Elohim. So how dangerous does this make the knowledge of the Hebrew? Well, it does fly in the face of those who deny Who Yahshua really is, doesn’t it? But it certainly supports the Scriptures and truth.

  But the fact of the matter is that Aaron made the image of an ox. Is it possible that he made the image of the ox because the Mighty One of the Hebrews was called El (la), and the first letter in that word is the picture of an ox?

  Now we come down to the last days and the tau (t) is held in high esteem and placed on altars of worship. Should this be done? Absolutely not! Should it ever have been done? Absolutely not! Isn’t it interesting that the images of the ox (aaleph) were the first to be revered (in the early days) and lastly the image of the cross (t—tau). The aleph is the first, the beginning letter of the Hebrew alphabet and was more prominent in the early days, even though the tau was also utilized somewhat. But the last letter is the tau and we are in the last days and that is what is more prevalent in people’s worship. Is this telling us something?

  But, you see, the serpent Satan is the one who twists and perverts the marvelous things that Yahweh has created and made (the sun, moon, and stars, the ox [aleph], the cross [tau], etc., etc.) causing people to worship them.

  Yahweh incorporated the aleph (a) and tau (t) into the original Hebrew alphabet. Satan has taken their images and caused them to be worshipped. So do we now throw those things away? No, absolutely not! We just utilize them in the way Yahweh meant for them to be utilized and we just have to let the world continue to do its thing with them, even though we should continually protest to them.

  Even the word Torah is quite revealing, as we have shown in other writings. The word “Torah” (the first five books of the Scriptures) is presented in Pictorial Hebrew thusly: erft. The tau (t), of course, is a cross; the waw (f) is a nail, the resh (r) is the head of a man, the hei (e) means to behold, lo, reveal, window, etc. Therefore it can be interpreted as “Behold (e), the man (r), nailed (f) to the cross (t).

  Didn’t Moses write the Torah, the first five books of Scripture? Wasn’t he writing about Yahshua? “9 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. 41 I receive not honour from men. 42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of Elohim in you. 43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. 44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from Elohim only? 45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. 46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?” Jn. 5:39-47.

  Yes, Moses wrote of Yahshua. The Torah definitely speaks of Him in ways that haven’t even been discovered yet. But there are many ways in which it speaks of Him that we can figure out if we just put our nose to the grindstone and allow the Holy Spirit to lead us into His truth.

  The Torah spoke of His life and His death. The word Torah itself, revealed that He would be nailed to a cross.

  Do you see how if we allow the Scriptures to substantiate the outside facts, we can come to the truth of the matter? But if we want to continue to dig up what certain scholars and other writers say, well….there are other scholars and writers who say the opposite, but the Scriptures “nail” it down. (Pun intended)

  Should we be declaring the “cross of the Messiah?” “17 For the Messiah sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of the Messiah should be made of none effect. 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of Yahweh,”      1 Cor. 1:17-18.

  “But Yahweh forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Sovereign Yahshua the Messiah, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world,” Gal. 6:14.

  “And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven,” Col. 1:20.

  By the way, did you know that even though Bullinger said the things he did about the cross in the Companion Bible, denying that the Greek word stauros ever meant cross but rather an upright pole, he never took the words cross, or crucify, crucified, etc. out of his own works.

  He didn’t have the fortitude to stand up and change the words to pole, impale, impaled, etc.

  We have found proof in the Hebrew language, in the Scriptures, in the earth and elsewhere that the “cross” is correct, therefore, we will stand on the things that we have proven to be true no matter what others may say about us, or do their best to discredit us. When truth comes, we must stand on it without wavering.  JH

PART II

  In the day that Yahweh cursed Adam, He told him “Dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return.” Part I has taken us back to the beginning of our history in order to explain, by the Word of Yahweh, how we are as we are in our personal lives. It reveals what we are truly like and why we fall short of the glory of Yahweh.

  Now in part two, we must magnify this understanding by viewing the history of mankind, which brings us down to today’s world.

By Jerry Healan

  When Yahweh had finished with His creation on the sixth day it is said, “And Elohim saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day,” Gen. 1:31.

  When it says that it was very good, it means that it was exceedingly good. It had to have been a breath-taking creation. This statement, of course, is an oxy-moron. It didn’t take the breath, it gave breath, life, beauty, etc.

  The man and woman were placed in a beautiful Garden of Eden, which was to be the headquarters of the earth, because they were to be fruitful, multiply and replenish the earth. But the serpent entered into the garden, deceived the woman to take of the forbidden fruit and the rest is history.

  The first murder in man’s recorded history was committed by the first man-child born of Adam and Eve. Cain slew his brother Abel. Cain and his posterity were banished from Yahweh’s presence, just as his father Adam had been banished from the Garden of Eden. Thus, the first man committed suicide and the first man born into the world committed murder.

  In less than two thousand years the earth with its inhabitants had to be destroyed by a great flood. Had it not been for Noah and his family, all would have been lost, but Noah found grace in the eyes of Yahweh (Gen. 6).

  Noah’s family was able to cross over into a new world, a world washed clean by water. But then came Nimrod who became a despot, and he was put before, or in the place of Yahweh (Gen. 10:9). How did this happen so soon after the flood while it was still on the minds of men? It is because of what we have discovered and written above. Man at his best state is altogether vanity (tselem = a shade, phantom, idol, etc.) Man is dust and the serpent’s food is dust. Man breathes the air (ruach) and the serpent is the god of this world and the prince of the power of the air (ruach). Man was made to be the sovereign, the master, the lord of the earth under Yahweh’s righteous direction, but now he follows the lead of the serpent.

  Only those who Yahweh chooses to call will be able to resist the serpent’s enticements, and even they are not totally perfect. Nimrod established his kingdom in Babel (Babylon), but he built great cities in many places. He was such a great city builder and the earth was all of one language following in rebellion against Yahweh, that it was proposed that they build a great tower not only reaching into the heavens, but wherein would contain the constellations of heaven. This was for the worship of the host of heaven, which Yahweh hated. But Yahweh saw what they were doing, and divided them by confusing their language and the greatness of Nimrod and his kingdom began to wane.

  Then Yahweh called Abram out of Ur of the Chaldees, which then began the history of the family of salvation that grew from Abraham, to Isaac, to Jacob, to Israel.

  Yahweh, Himself, allowed the conditions to come upon the earth that brought the Israelites into the land of Egypt and eventually into slavery to Pharaoh and his people.

  Through Moses, Yahweh called Israel out of Egypt and made a covenant with them, which if they were obedient, they would be truly blessed, but if not, they would suffer curses and destruction.

  ISRAEL

    Yahweh delivered Israel out of Egypt with great signs and wonders. He brought them into the wilderness and made a marriage covenant with them. The basis of this covenant was established on the two tables of stone that Moses brought down from the mount.

  This covenant was based upon two promises, Yahweh’s and Israel’s.

  Moses went up to receive Yahweh’s promises to Israel, “And Moses went up unto Elohim, and Yahweh called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation,” Ex. 19:3-6.

  Israel promised or covenanted, “All that Yahweh hath spoken we will do,” Ex. 19:8 (See also Ex. 24:3 & 7).

  While the Israelites were Yahweh’s people, they were still born into this world having only the spirit in man, or the spirit of Adam, the mortal, corruptible man. They weren’t given the Holy Spirit at that time so that they could understand spiritual things, nor keep the covenant that they had made with Yahweh.

Yahweh pronounced blessings and cursings upon Israel. If they were obedient to His spiritual law, then they would be blessed, but if not, they would be cursed. The Covenant of Moses contained physical things, which they could perform, but it also contained spiritual components that they simply couldn’t understand, or perform.

  It is recorded by Moses, “These are the words of the covenant, which Yahweh commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, beside the covenant which he made with them in Horeb. And Moses called unto all Israel, and said unto them, Ye have seen all that Yahweh did before your eyes in the land of Egypt unto Pharaoh, and unto all his servants, and unto all his land; The great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles: Yet Yahweh hath not given you an heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day,” Dt. 29:1-4.

 Again he writes, “And Yahweh heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and Yahweh said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken. O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!” Dt.5:28-29.

  Isaiah was inspired to proclaim, “Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches,” 43:27-28.

  Hosea writes, “But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me,” 6:7.

  The question is, Who is their first father? The answer is Adam. The word “men” in Hosea 6:7 is a mistranslation. The Hebrew word or name is “ADAM!”

  They, as all mankind, followed the path of their first father Adam who, in essence, committed suicide when he took of the forbidden fruit. Whether you like to admit it or not, we all follow him. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of Elohim, bringing the death penalty upon our own heads.

  THE COVENANT OF DEATH

    I know that this is hard to believe, but Yahweh led Israel to make a covenant with Him that would only lead to their death and destruction. It is called a covenant or ministration of death!

  The Apostle Paul writes, “Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of the Messiah ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living Elohim; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. And such trust have we through the Messiah toward Elohim: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of Yahweh; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious,” 2 Cor. 3:2-11.

  The Covenant of Moses was truly a glorious administration. But it was an administration of death because the people weren’t given the power of the Holy Spirit in order to be able to fulfill their part of the agreement.

  They made their deal with Yahweh before Moses ascended the mount the first time. But he was gone for forty days and nights. With hearts set on physical things and not spiritual, the Israelites gathered before Aaron demanding, “Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. And Aaron said unto them, Break off the golden earrings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. And all the people brake off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. And he received them at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, after he had made it a molten calf: and they said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said, To morrow is a feast to Yahweh. And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play,” Ex. 32:1-6.

  They broke the covenant that they had just made with Yahweh and death was to enter into the camp when Moses returned.

  BROKEN TABLES

    Moses returned with the tables in his hands, but when he saw the people worshipping in their idolatry and nakedness he became very angry, “And it came to pass, as soon as he came nigh unto the camp, that he saw the calf, and the dancing: and Moses' anger waxed hot, and he cast the tables out of his hands, and brake them beneath the mount,” Ex. 32:19.

  This is a type. The tables of stone were the tables of the covenant. This meant that the covenant was already broken and would have to be renewed.

  Another type is also figured in because Moses burned the golden calf, crushed it to powder, cast it into water and made the people drink of it. Water is a type of the spirit (Jn. 7:37-39). This means that Moses made Israel to drink of the waters of idolatry, or the spirit of idolatry. Israel would now have an even greater tendency to descend into idolatry than they would have with the natural spirit in man received from Adam. And such has been the case with Israel.

  The trek through the wilderness for forty years reveals that their heart simply wasn’t set on Yahweh. After they entered the land and conquered some of it under Yahshua ben Nun, they began a series of falling into idolatrous practices, suffering the grievous consequences, repenting and turning to Yahweh Who would deliver them by the hand of a judge, until the kingdom was established.

  But the tenure under the kings of Israel fared no better. There would be an evil king and a righteous king. The northern kingdom of Israel was broken away from Judah and she never returned to Yahweh. Israel was finally overthrown and destroyed around 721 BCE.

  Judah continued to serve Yahweh on and off until Yahweh would no longer renew the covenant with them, and He destroyed them and Jerusalem through the Babylonians and their king Nebuchadnezzar.

  One point that we would like to make here is the fact that the covenant of Moses was renewed time, after time, after time, after time. But this is something that has to be done with the flesh if the flesh is ever going to have a covenant because, as Paul said, the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin (Ro. 7:14).

  Therefore, we declare that the covenant of Moses was a temporary covenant, made with the flesh, which is also temporary because Paul states in another place, “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Elohim; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption,” 1 Cor. 15:50.

  It is clearly stated that there was a first covenant and now there is a second covenant. The second covenant is declared to be a New Covenant based on better promises, that is; it is based solely on the Word of Yahweh, which never fails (Jer. 31:31-33, Heb. 8:6-9).

  You see, the first covenant was more of a physical covenant made with physical, and especially carnally minded people. That which is physical, carnal and fleshly passes away, but the second is spiritual and has power to continue forever and ever.

  The fact of the matter is that Israel was not given the power of the Holy Spirit to be able to fulfill their part of the covenant. They were physical, fleshly (dust). They were food for the serpent who loves to work the works of idolatry, darkness, death and destruction. Israel was dust and they returned to the dust.

  THE SACRIFICE

    Why would Yahweh do this to His people whom He loved, the descendants of His friend Abraham, and his sons Isaac, and Jacob? If we can ask this question, then we need to ask, Why would Yahweh sacrifice His most Beloved, precious, obedient Son Yahshua? But we understand that Yahshua was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world (1 Pet. 1:20).

  What about Israel? Did you know that Israel was to be sacrificed for the rest of the world? Yahweh raised up the beast kingdoms after the destruction of Israel and Judah. This is revealed in the book of Daniel chapter seven. Yahshua even called the woman of Canaan who cried for Him to heal her daughter a dog (Mt. 15:22-28). Other than Israel, all peoples of the earth were regarded as unclean animals.

  Yahweh called His people Israel sheep, goats, oxen, dove, etc. These were the animals that were acceptable as sacrifices on the altar of sacrifice to Yahweh. Therefore, Yahweh not only sacrificed His own Son, Yahshua, who the sacrifices typified, but His people, the house of Israel for the nations of the world.

  During Yahshua’s, and the apostle’s day, other people, the Gentiles, or non-Hebrews were considered to be common and unclean (Acts 10:28).

  Israel’s sacrifice is revealed by the Apostle Paul in the book of Romans, “7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 8 (According as it is written, Yahweh hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. 11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? Yahweh forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness?....15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 For if Yahweh spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of Yahweh: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for Yawheh is able to graff them in again. 24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away unrighteousness from Jacob: 27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. 29 For the gifts and calling of Yahweh are without repentance. 30 For as ye in times past have not believed Yahweh, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 32 For Yahweh hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all,” Ro. 11:7-12, 15-32.

  The only true hope for the world is the sacrifice and resurrection of Yahshua the Messiah, but a secondary hope has to do with the sacrifice of the house of Israel and their resurrection. What a most wondrous day that will be!!!!!

 Every word of Scripture, every event in Scripture has some important lesson to teach. The fishing expedition of the disciples after the death and resurrection is one of the most important and deepest lessons that we can learn from Scripture. Let’s see what this event can teach us about spiritual things.

By Jerry Healan

  Peter, Thomas, Nathanael, James, John and two other disciples didn’t seem to have anything better to do after Yahshua was slain and resurrected than to go fishing (Jn. 21:1-3). After all, Peter’s, James’s and John’s occupation prior to their calling was fishermen. As fishing can go so many, many times, they labored, fishing all night and caught nothing. In the morning Yahshua stood on the shore and called out to them if they had caught anything and they replied no. So he instructed them to cast the net on the right side of the ship and upon following His instructions, they filled the net with a multitude of fish. (v.v. 4-6). John immediately knew that the one calling out to them was Yahshua and told the others so. When Peter heard that it was Yahshua, he girded himself with his fisher’s coat and jumped into the water swimming to shore. The others followed dragging the cumbersome net with the fishes. (v.v. 7-8). When they got to shore, Yahshua already had a fire of coals going with fish upon it. But they pulled the net to the shore and counted the fishes that they had caught and they numbered 153. (v.v. 9-11).

  We live in a world that is governed by law. This world came into existence by the power of the Word of Yahweh and it stands fast based upon that same power. (Jn. 1:1-3; 10-14; Heb. 1:1-3; Psa. 33:6, 9, etc.) Scientists, mathematicians and others utilize many means to try to come to understand the essence of the creation. Many of those means have to do with the use of formulas, chemical, numerical, etc. There are those who seek to understand the Scriptures through the use of numbers. If we can do that with the physical creation, then can we not do that with some of the spiritually significant numbers that Yahweh provides in His own word? After all, it is His word that created all things and in reality it is His word that they are seeking to search out, even if they don’t understand this or realize it. Of course, the Hebrew letters themselves not only represent letters for words, language, but also represent numbers and even hieroglyphics.

  MYSTERY

    In the above account, there are so many, many things to consider, but many of those things will have to be left to other articles. Yahweh’s word is so mighty and powerful, it is eternal and we can eternally search into it and learn so much about our wondrous, marvelous, awesome and majestic Creator Elohim. But what we want to make the primary focus of this article to be on is the number of the fishes (153). One of the reasons we want to do this is to show you that the Scriptures are written in metaphors, types, and parables, and mysteries which few people have ever studied into or even understood even though they might have been considered to be highly Scripturally intelligent by the world (just as the scientists and mathematicians are). But neither is this article being written to put anyone down or to exalt anyone other than the Word of Yahweh Who is Yahshua the Messiah.

  The Apostle Paul writes, “Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of Yahweh in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which Yahweh ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Sovereign of glory. 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. 2:6-13.

  Hopefully you are beginning to understand that Yahweh has hidden deep things in the Scriptures that the natural, carnal, physical mind of man simply can’t understand, even the princes, the great leaders of this world. They are brought forth by the power of the Holy Spirit as the Spirit is utilized to search out the deep things of Yahweh. Previously, in chapter one of 1 Corinthians and also in chapter two, he reveals that the things of Yahweh are considered to be foolish by the natural mind of man, while the things that the natural mind of man considers to be important are considered to be foolish by Yahweh. Therefore, there are those who will read this article and dispute it and there are those who will read it and rejoice.

  BEZALEEL

    One of the most important occurrences of this number appears in the name Bezaleel. The Hebrew letters for Bezaleel are lalxb/lalcb. The beit (b) = 2, tsadi (x) =90, lamed (l) = 30, aleph (a) = 1, and lamed (l) = 30. 2 + 90 + 30 + 1 + 30 = 153.

  Bezaleel was the one chosen by Yahweh to build the tabernacle with all its appurtenances in the wilderness, “And Yahweh spake unto Mosheh saying, ‘See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur of the tribe of Yudah: and I have filled him with the spirit of Elohim, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, to devise cunning works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of timber, to work in all manner of workmanship,” Ex. 31:1-5.

  Notice these three important elements for He gave him (1) wisdom, (2) understanding, and (3) knowledge. The tabernacle that Bezaleel was to build was a microcosm, a type of the heavens and the earth. In Proverbs Yahweh says, “Yahweh by 1 wisdom hath founded the earth; by 2 understanding hath He established the heavens, by His 3knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew,” 3:19-20. All things, including the deep things, have been made by the Spirit of Yahweh, the Spirit of Elohim and Yahweh gave the Spirit to Bezaleel so that he could be most skillful in constructing the tabernacle and everything that pertained to it including the things that the priesthood was to wear.

  The tabernacle with its Levitical priesthood was a type of the true heavenly tabernacle wherein Yahweh dwells and the Melchizedek Priesthood that serves that tabernacle! The very name Bezaleel means “In the shadow of El!” The tabernacle and priesthood of old were only types, examples and shadows of the true heavenly tabernacle wherein Yahweh dwells, “Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which Yahweh pitched, and not man. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of Yahweh when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises,” Heb. 8:1-6.

    Notice that it says that if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law. That statement no longer applies because there is no longer a physical manmade, handmade temple built to the honor of Yahweh’s name on the earth. But there is a movement afoot to build a temple or at least tabernacle and to restore the Levitical priesthood in Jerusalem. Could this be taking place in order to thwart Yahshua from returning as the High Priest and those who are His at the resurrection serving as kings and priests with Him? (Rev. 14:1-5; 20:1-6)

  Bezaleel not only means “in the shadow of El,” but he is the son of Uri. Uri (yrwa/yrwa [note: I have given both the original Paleo Hebrew and the modern day Hebrew here]) has to do with light or specifically with the Hebrew letter yod (y/y) at the end of the word, it means “my light.” He was also the son of Hur. Hur means “white linen.” White Linen is utilized, spiritually speaking, for righteousness. Finally, He is of the tribe of Yudah/Judah. Judah means “Praise Yahweh.”

  Bezaleel, therefore, is a type, a shadow, of Yahshua in that, according to the Scriptures, the Father made all things through His Son, “Yahweh, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 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; 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; Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they,” Heb. 1:1-4.

  The Father not only utilized Yahshua to create the heavens (His present dwelling place which the Prophet Isaiah is inspired to declare that they are like a curtain and spread out like a tent to dwell in [Isa. 40:22), and earth, but He is also utilizing Him to bring forth the new heavens and new earth wherein dwells righteousness (Rev. 21:1-5).

MORE SHADOWS

    I hear so many, many people in various meetings shouting Torah! But the problem is that they aren’t utilizing the Torah for its original intended purposes. The Torah was given to bring us to Yahshua the Messiah! They should be shouting Yahshua! So many people seek to apply the Torah in their lives, but in so many, many cases they are only going about establishing their own righteousness, rather than the righteousness of Yahweh, which is Yahshua in us.

  Here is what the book of Hebrews declares about the law, which can also be translated as the Torah, or the ten commandments, “For the Messiah is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of Yahweh for us: Nor yet that he should offer himself often, as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others; For then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world: but now once in the end of the world hath he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: So the Messiah was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation. For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure. Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O Yahweh. Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;  Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O Yahweh. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Yahshua the Messiah once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of Yahweh; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified,” Heb. 9:24-28; 10:1-14.

  Bezaleel, whose name means “in the shadow of El,” made the tabernacle and all things that pertained to it and its priesthood by his own hands. The things that he made were simply shadows, examples, types of the true. The true tabernacle is the one that Yahweh has made through His own Son Yahshua of Whom Bezaleel is simply a shadow or type. Notice that it says that holy places made with hands (of man) are only figures of the true. The law, or the Torah was also a shadow of good things to come, but they were simply not the very (exact?) image of the true things because they couldn’t make anyone perfect. We are made perfect through Yahshua the Messiah Who has the power to create in us the spirit and heart we need to be able to please the Father with.

  Isn’t it interesting that Yahshua was born into a family whose head (Joseph) was a carpenter? A carpenter builds dwelling places. Yahshua told the disciples, “1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in Elohim, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also,” Jn. 14:1-3. Yahshua is the One Who prepares a place, a room, an office for us in His Father’s dwelling place.

  Yahshua is not only the builder, the maker of the house wherein Yahweh dwells, but he is the builder of the city, the heavenly Jerusalem, the New Jerusalem, “8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: 10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is Yahweh,” Heb. 11:8-10.

  Yahshua told the Philadelphia Assembly, “Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my Elohim, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my Elohim, and the name of the city of my Elohim, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my Elohim: and I will write upon him my new name,” Rev. 3:12.

  The first lesson that we learn about the 153 fish is that they direct us to Bezaleel, who was a type, a shadow of Yahshua. Bezaleel made the tabernacle in the wilderness, but Yahshua is the One Who has made the true heavenly tabernacle wherein Yahweh truly dwells today, and is in the process of creating a new heavens, a new earth, a new city called New Jerusalem, etc., etc. That is why Bezaleel and his works were only shadows. Are you preparing to become a pillar in that new city?

  SONS OF ELOHIM

    Another term that equals to 153 is the Hebrew term for sons of Elohim or beni ha Elohim (myhlah ynb/  myhlah ynb). Beit (b) = 2, nun (n) = 50, yod (y) = 10, hei (h) = 5, aleph (a) = 1, lamed (l) = 30, hei (h) = 5, yod (y) = 10, mem (m) = 40. 2 + 50 + 10 + 5 + 1 + 30 + 5 + 10 + 40 = 153.

  Sons of Elohim is a term that is utilized throughout Scripture.  We find that there were “sons of Elohim” who were present when the earth was made, “Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of Elohim shouted for joy?” 38:4-7.

  The sons of Elohim were called before the throne of Yahweh and Satan was among them, “Now there was a day when the sons of Elohim came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan came also among them….Again there was a day when the sons of Elohim came to present themselves before Yahweh, and Satan came also among them to present himself before Yahweh,” Job. 1:6; 2:1.

  If Satan is able to appear among the sons of Elohim, then he also is a son of Elohim. In other places he is called an angel or messenger. His message, of course, is contrary to Yahweh’s message, but he is subtle enough to be able to take the truth, surround it with lies and cleverly deceive the natural man. He is the serpent who appeared in the Garden of Eden to deceive the first woman, Eve. He is still around deceiving the world in the book of Revelation, “And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him,” Rev. 12:7-9.

  He is currently working with the great harlot (another woman) called Mystery Babylon, in order to deceive the whole earth to commit fornication, making them drunk with the wine of her idolatries.

  Jude speaks of the angels that left their first estate, “And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day,” v. 6.

  The book of Genesis speaks of the sons of Elohim who co-habited with the daughters of men (Adam), “And it came to pass, when men (Adam) began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, That the sons of Elohim saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. And Yahweh said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of Elohim came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown. And Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented Yahweh that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart,” Gen. 6:2-6.

  Obviously, these sons of Elohim had the ability to co-habit with the daughters of Adam and they then bore children to them. The term “giants” is very interesting because it comes from the Hebrew word nephiyl (lypn/lypn), which also means “fallen.” Yahshua, Himself, said that He had seen Satan fall from heaven, “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven,” Lk. 10:18.

  Mythology, itself, abounds with stories of these rebellious fallen ones who became great and mighty ones in the earth. Many of them became such great heroes that they were worshipped then and now as gods. Yahweh has now reserved these rebellious fallen ones in the chains of darkness until the day of judgment. Peter confirms Jude’s statement concerning these fallen angels, “For if Yahweh spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment,” 2 Pt. 2:4.

  He says that they are cast down to “hell,” but this word for hell is Tartaroo, which can also mean a state of torment. Both say that they have been delivered into chains of darkness. Darkness has to do with a spiritual condition. They are tormented in the chains of spiritual darkness because they turned from the true light that shines forever, that is the Father Yahweh and His beloved Son Yahshua the Messiah. They follow the prince of darkness who seeks to take the true things of Yahweh and twist, corrupt and pollute them so that their light can’t shine through to enlighten the minds of those who follow after their deceptive practices.

  These fallen angels/spirits do have various and certain powers over the natural mind of man as is revealed in the evangel accounts wherein Yahshua and then the apostles faced them. Yahshua first had to face the ring leader Satan to obtain the victory over him which He did do as is recorded in Matthew chapter four, Mark chapter one, and Luke chapter four.

  One of the great problems is that men, themselves, love darkness more than light, “For Yahweh so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For Yahweh sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of Elohim. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in Elohim,” Jn. 3:16-21.

  Yahshua overcame, got the victory and now those who believe in and follow after Him, loving His light and truth, become the SONS OF ELOHIM. The Apostle John writes, “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of Elohim (myhlah ynb/  myhlah ynb [=153]): therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of Elohim, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Elohim was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of Elohim doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of Elohim. In this the children of Elohim are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of Elohim, neither he that loveth not his brother,” 1 Jn. 3:1-10.

  Yahshua primarily called fishermen to be his disciples and apostles, and they were to fish for men, fishing them out of this world and converting them to become sons of Elohim (myhlah ynb/  myhlah ynb). The 153 fishes teach us of this fact.

  HILLKIAH

    There is one other place that we would like to train our focus upon concerning this number 153; that is we want to focus on the name Hillkiah as it is revealed in the book of Isaiah chapter 22. Isaiah writes, “Thus saith Yahweh Elohim of hosts, Go, get thee unto this treasurer, even unto Shebna, which is over the house, and say, What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewed thee out a sepulchre here, as he that heweth him out a sepulchre on high, and that graveth an habitation for himself in a rock? Behold, Yahweh will carry thee away with a mighty captivity, and will surely cover thee. He will surely violently turn and toss thee like a ball into a large country: there shalt thou die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be the shame of thy Master's house. And I will drive thee from thy station, and from thy state shall he pull thee down. And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah: And I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand: and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah. And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house. And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of flagons. In that day, saith Yahweh of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in the sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for Yahweh hath spoken it,” vv. 15-25.

  What is being said here? Shebna is one who is seemingly a nail driven in a sure place today. He is a treasurer or minister over the house, but the Hebrew word for house is bayith, which can also be translated as “temple.” He has hewn himself a sepulchre on high. He has graven an habitation for himself in a rock. Yahweh is called a “rock” in so many, many places in Scripture.

  When it says that he has hewn out a sepulchre “on high”, the Hebrew term is “marowm” (~wrm), which can mean “from Rome.” Rome is Roma in the ancient Latin language, which is akin to the Hebrew term Ramah, meaning a height (as a seat of idolatry) [Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance #7413].

  There is one in today’s world who had been driven as a nail in a sure place. His sepulchre has been carved or graven in the rock (the world calls Him God, but in reality, His name is Yahweh). He was supposedly dead and is yet alive. This is none other than the Roman imposter Jesus Christ who has been raised up in the place of the true Messiah Yahshua.

  Notice that the key of the house of David with be laid upon His shoulder and he shall open and none can shut and he will shut and none can open. This is none other than Yahshua the Messiah as revealed in Rev. 3:8.

  The name Eliakim son of Hillkiah has a very important meaning. Eliakim means “El of raising” or “Raising again of El” (also had to do with resurrection). Hillkiah has to do with the portion or inheritance of Yahweh. So Eliakim son of Hillkiah is the Son of El who will again raise up the portion or inheritance of Yahweh. This is none other than Yahshua the Messiah Who has the power to deliver from the grave and to restore Yahweh’s children, Israel, to their portion or inheritance.

  According to this prophecy, the current one who is being served as the nail driven into a sure place will be replaced with the true nail, which is Yahshua the Messiah. Yahshua is the true rock as admitted by the Apostle Paul, “1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; 2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was the Messiah,” 1 Cor. 10:1-4.

  Yahshua is the true nail Who has the power to raise El again, to restore truth, and light that has been taken away through the deceit of idolatry. He is the One Who is spoken of here, Eliakim son of Hilkiah. He will restore the true inheritance.

  CONCLUSION

    The incident of the 153 fishes leads us to the fact that Bezaleel (in the shadow of El) was the builder of the tabernacle in the wilderness for a habitation for Yahweh, which the tabernacle and its priesthood were just shadows of the heavenly tabernacle and priesthood. Yahshua is the One Who is the builder of the heavens and earth that now are and is also the builder of the new heavens and new earth.

  It teaches us that we can become the children, the sons of Elohim through the Son of Elohim, Yahshua the Messiah.

  And it teaches us that Yahshua is the One Who has the power to cast down the current idolatrous worldly system and again raise up the inheritance of Yahweh.

  Yahweh’s plan continues to march on and is being fulfilled in Yahshua the Messiah, His most precious firstborn son, HalleluYah!!!!!!
