Dark Day for the USA (United Sodom and Amora)

Today, June 25, 2015 the US Supreme Court ins a 5-4 vote sided with the gay bandwagon and declared that two men or two women can marry each other in all 50 states.   The first thing I thought of upon hearing this dreadful news was the "Dark Spanish Symphony".   (You can hear it here: Dark Spanish Symphony ).

I immediately though of this dark and despairing melody because the US has sunk so low as to now completely abandon any values and morals of the ultimate authority in favor of the mindless masses who see nothing wrong with the sexual deviancy of gays and have finally forced their will on the nation.  It only took a liberal court.  A court whose origins are found in scripture - has taken upon themselves to "be" the authority and permit this abomination to be the "law of the land".

Dark day.
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who change darkness into light and light into darkness, who change bitter into sweet and sweet into bitter!
Woe to those seeing themselves as wise, esteeming themselves as clever.

Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine, men whose power goes to mixing strong drinks, who acquit the guilty for bribes but deny justice to the righteous!

Therefore, as fire licks up the stubble, and the chaff is consumed in the flame; so their root will rot, and their flowers scatter like dust; because they have rejected the Torah of ADONAI-Tzva'ot, they have despised the word of the Holy One of Isra'el.

This is why ADONAI's anger blazed up against his people, why he stretched out his hand against them and struck them [so hard that] the hills shook, and corpses lay like trash in the streets. Even after all this, his anger remains, his upraised hand still threatens.(Isaiah 5:20-25, CJB)
Because they knew Elohim and did not glorify him and give thanks to him as Elohim, but became vain in their imaginings and their unwise heart was darkened. And, while they thought within themselves that they were wise, they became fools.  And they changed the glory of the incorruptible Elohim into a likeness to the image of a corruptible man, and into the likeness of birds and four-legged animals and reptiles on the earth.  For this cause, Elohim gave them up to the fill your lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies with them.  And they changed the truth of Elohim into a lie; and worshipped and served the created things, much more than the Creator of them, to whom belong glory and blessing, forever and ever: Amen.  For  this  cause, Elohim gave them  up  to  vile  passions:  for  their females changed the use of their natures and employed that which is unnatural.  And so also their males set aside the use of females, which is natural, and burned with lust toward one another; and, male with male, they did what is shameful, and received in their core substance the just recompense of their error.  And as they did not determine with themselves to know Elohim, Elohim gave them over to a vain mind; that they might do what they should not. (Romans 1:21-28, AENT)
'A curse on anyone who does not pay attention to the words of this covenant,  ...  I have frequently warned them, "Listen to my voice!" But they have not listened or paid attention; instead, each one has lived according to the stubbornness of his own evil heart. For this reason I have brought upon them all the words of this covenant, which I ordered them to obey, but which they did not obey.'" Then ADONAI said to me, "The men of Y'hudah and the people living in Yerushalayim have formed a conspiracy. They have returned to the sins of their ancestors, who refused to hear my words, and they have gone after other gods to serve them. The house of Isra'el and the house of Y'hudah have broken my covenant which I made with their ancestors." Therefore ADONAI says, "I am going to bring on them a disaster which they will not be able to escape; and even if they cry to me, I will not listen to them.  Then the cities of Y'hudah and the people living in Yerushalayim will go and cry to the gods to whom they are making offerings; but they will not save them at all in their time of trouble. For you have as many gods, Y'hudah, as you have towns; and you have erected as many altars for sacrificing to that shameful thing, Ba'al, as there are streets in Yerushalayim. "So you, [Yirmeyahu,] don't pray for this people! Don't cry or pray on their behalf, because I won't listen to them when they cry to me because of their troubles. What right does my beloved have to be in my house, when she has behaved so shamelessly with so many? (Jeremiah 11:4, 7-15 CJB)
Dark day.

Supreme Court voted to make homosexual "marriage" legal in all 50 states ... America is doomed!

Well, folks, it's done; the US is doomed because the Supreme Court voted to make homosexual "marriage" legal in all 50 states!   If you thought we've been undergoing trials and tribulations before, just wait to see what's in store! SHAME ON AMERICA! It's not enough that we have been tolerant/accepting of other sins, but this is truly "in your face."  What part of IT'S AN ABOMINATION is too hard to understand?

This is YHWH speaking in the "Old Testament" - which many don't realize still applies TODAY!

Leviticus 18: 22 - You are not to go to bed with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination.

And here is a "New Testament" quote:

1 Thessalonians 4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality....

Check out what else the "New Testament" says God does with those who don't take YHWH's Word seriously!

Romans 1: 22 Claiming to be wise, they have become fools! 23 In fact, they have exchanged the glory of the immortal God for mere images, like a mortal human being, or like birds, animals or reptiles! 24 This is why God has given them up to the vileness of their hearts' lusts, to the shameful misuse of each other's bodies. 25 They have exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, by worshiping and serving created things, rather than the Creator - praised be he for ever. Amen. 26 This is why God has given them up to degrading passions; so that their women exchange natural sexual relations for unnatural; 27 and likewise the men, giving up natural relations with the opposite sex, burn with passion for one another, men committing shameful acts with other men and receiving in their own persons the penalty appropriate to their perversion.

28 In other words, since they have not considered God worth knowing, God has given them up to worthless ways of thinking; so that they do improper things. 29 They are filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and vice; stuffed with jealousy, murder, quarreling, dishonesty and ill-will; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God; they are insolent, arrogant and boastful; they plan evil schemes; they disobey their parents; 31 they are brainless, faithless, heartless and ruthless. 32 They know well enough God's righteous decree that people who do such things deserve to die; yet not only do they keep doing them, but they applaud others who do the same.


These unbelieving "lost souls" who voted FOR homosexual marriage in the US, went straight into the Face of YHWH who calls it an abomination! (Leviticus 18:22) They have just voted severe judgment for the United States. May YHWH protect those who are His!

2 Peter 2: 19. And they promise them liberty while they themselves are the slaves of corruption: for, by whatever thing a man is vanquished, to that is he enslaved. 20. For if, when they have escaped the pollutions of the world by the knowledge of our Master and Redeemer Y'shua the Mashiyach, they become again involved in the same and are vanquished, their latter state is worse than the former. 21. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after having known (it), to turn back from the Set Apart Commandment that was delivered to them. 22. But the true proverb has happened to them: the dog returns to his vomit and the pig that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.

Take a look at some of these other random Scriptures that reveal how our ELOHIM feels about SIN:

Leviticus 26: 23 If, in spite of all this, you refuse my correction and still go against me; then I too will go against you; and I, yes I, will strike you seven times over for your sins.

Numbers 15: 30 "'But an individual who does something wrong intentionally, whether a citizen or a foreigner, is blaspheming ADONAI. That person will be cut off from his people. 31 Because he has had contempt for the word of ADONAI and has disobeyed his command, that person will be cut off completely; his offense will remain with him.'"

Deuteronomy 7: 9 From this you can know that ADONAI your God is indeed God, the faithful God, who keeps his covenant and extends grace to those who love him and observe his mitzvot, to a thousand generations. 10 But he repays those who hate him to their face and destroys them. He will not be slow to deal with someone who hates him; he will repay him to his face.

Isaiah 66: 24 "As they leave, they will look on the corpses of the people who rebelled against me. For their worm will never die, and their fire will never be quenched; but they will be abhorrent to all humanity.

Hebrews 10: 26 For if we deliberately continue to sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but only the terrifying prospect of Judgment, or raging fire that will consume the enemies.

1 Corinthians 6:9. Or don't you know, that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of Elohim? Make no mistake! Neither sexual sinners, nor idol-worshippers, nor adulterers, nor the corrupt, nor men who lay down with other men, 10. Nor the oppressors, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of Elohim. (Aramaic English New Testament)

Revelation 22: 12 "Pay attention!" [says Yeshua,] "I am coming soon, and my rewards are with me to give to each person according to what he has done. 13 I am the 'A' and the 'Z,' the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." 14 How blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they have the right to eat from the Tree of Life and go through the gates into the city! 15 Outside are the homosexuals, those involved with the occult and with drugs, the sexually immoral, murderers, idol-worshippers, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood."


Let’s spread the Word about how YHWH feels – check out Carmen Welker’s book, Free to Sin,  which is the true story of Tamra and Eve, a lesbian couple who - after years of not realizing homosexuality was a sin - discovered YHWH's Truth and ultimately decided that one cannot be actively "gay" and belong to YHWH at the same time....This book reveals how one can come out of their sin and dares to take on the various misguided ideas about homosexuality and the Bible espoused by Oprah and certain Christian pastors who insist that "God condones homosexuality"....

"Designer water" that costs around $75 a case? Has America gone completely nuts?

This morning on the news we saw that some people in California (as explained by a woman speaking “Valley Girl Talk” who sounded like she had the IQ of an earthworm) drink only “designer water” – some of which costs up to $75 per case.  Anyway, this “intellect” (who said "water is important to my lifestyle" - LOL!) went on to tell us about the “water tastings" in which she participates, where the host - for just $50 a head - allows people to try six bottles of water.....

Honestly - I find that absolutely amazing! America is a spoiled rotten nation with “privileged” people (most drowning in debt, but hey, gotta have that “designer water” and breast implants and fast late-model cars and huge mansions with swimming pools…) who are blind and deaf to the world around them! Those types of people have no clue about “the real world” in which we have thousands of Syrians escaping their chaotic homeland, risking their lives to cross the waters into EuropeThey have no clue about the dangers Israel faces every single day from surrounding nations.

They have no clue about the horrors in the Middle East and in some African countries where women are being raped and tortured and killed, where babies suffer horrific deaths from flying bullets and bombs; where innocents are being hunted down and beheaded by crazed and brainwashed Muslims and “wannabes” who just like the thought of killing; where millions have become homeless with nowhere to go. They seem blind to the ongoing situation between Russia and Ukraine, or the fact that Greece's economy is on the verge of collapse.

They don't even have a clue about America's own "illegal immigrant" problem from the South American continent; let alone that we are experiencing some ugly racial tensions around the nation....No, their thoughts are on the importance of "designer water" which is "important to their lifestyle"....

The world has gone crazy! There are wars pretty much everywhere these days – if people are not fighting some foreign neighbor, then they’re fighting their neighbor next door, or they’re fighting “the system” for some pet cause. Everybody’s fighting about something. And if that’s not enough, how about all those earthquakes, fires, floods, droughts, tornadoes, volcanic activity … all manner of devastation? Truly, we are experiencing the Books of Daniel and Revelation unfolding before our very eyes.

But hey, make sure you stock up on that “designer water” so you can meet your end in style…..

Matthew 24: 3. And while Y'shua was sitting on the Mount of Olives, his disciples drew near and were saying among themselves and to him, "Tell us when these things will be and what is the sign of your coming and the end of the world." 4. Y'shua answered and said to them, Beware, let no man deceive you. 5. For many will come in my name and will say that "I am the Mashiyach." And many they will deceive. 6. For you are bound to hear of revolutions and rumor of wars. Watch out and do not be disturbed, for it is necessary that all these things happen, but it is not yet the end.

7. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines and plagues and earthquakes in different places. 8. But all these things are only the beginning of sorrows. 9. Then they will deliver to afflictions and they will kill you and you will be hated by all nations because of my name. 10. Then many will stumble and will hate one another and will betray one another. 11. And many false prophets will arise and deceive many. 12. And because of the growth of iniquity, the love of many will grow cold. 13. But whoever has patience until the end, he will have life. 14. And this Good News of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come....

The ridiculous excuses some use to reject Yeshua....

I just saw an article written by a former Christian who “left Jesus”, and he started out with these words: “When Christians or Messianics discover that all the purported "messianic prophecies" in the Christian writings are without exception based on distortions, misreadings, mistranslations and passages taken out of context, they are often left with a burning question: if Jesus/Yeshua was not the promised Messiah, who will be?  The short answer – Who cares?”

Who cares?  Well, everyone should because Scripture tells us, unless we believe that Y'shua is the Messiah, they won't get to see the Father!  (John 14:6)  Scripture did NOT say, "everyone EXCEPT for the Jews!"

Another wrote:  "Jesus can't do anything for you that you can't do alone. In fact, you can do plenty that he can't do for you at all. Only you can turn to the Creator, repent of your mistakes and be forgiven, then move on and do better. Ez 18. You sinned, own it and move on. Trying to get someone else to 'take on your sin' for you, simply is not biblical."

Well, perhaps THEY believe "it's not biblical"; but according to MY Bible, YHWH sure seems to think it is.  He gave us a "rest of the story" via the "New Testament" - which perfectly lines up with the "Old"...no matter HOW MUCH anyone attempts to twist it!

SIGH!  Just sigh....

I'm so sick of former Messianics being used to proseletyze for Judaism and enticing each other to do it in a most vile manner, making it seem there is a new war in progress - and it’s not just with ISIS, Al Qaida or Boko Haram or crazed nut jobs with guns shooting unarmed people during Bible study!One of the things that most upsets me about these “converts” or “convert wannabe’s” is that they are so mean about it, setting up entire networks of supporters who encourage each other to be vocal against those of us who believe in Y’shua, and to seek us out to harass and berate us in any way possible.  They don't even realize they're just puppets being controlled by the rabbis (the "anti-missionary" rabbis who spend all their days "debunking Jesus") who provide all kinds of “great-sounding, ear-tickling” teachings designed to show that the New Testament is a myth.

Another former believer in Yeshua recently wrote the following in an anti-missionary thread:  “It’s really only since leaving the NT that I have been in a place where I am happy to explore the text for myself and make up my own mind...I’ve seen a gigantic wave of new or empowered characters rising up to lend a hand, a heart and a shoulder to the thousands of souls who are leaving the church each month and it fills me with joy.”

Well, my question to this person would be:  Why couldn’t you explore the text all along?  What was stopping you?  Did being Christian for most of your life automatically make you illiterate, blind, lazy, stupid, too tired to study the Bible - or what?  And just because you ultimately found your way to Torah, and you finally had THE WHOLE TRUTH which caused you to read the WHOLE Bible for once in your life, did that somehow make you too dense to comprehend the things you were reading – for instance, the fact that Y’shua was foreshadowed throughout the Tanach and in the mo’edim? 

Both as a former Christian and as a former Messianic/HR type, WHO, exactly stopped you from seeking YHWH’s Truth yourself BEFORE you became so all-fired “enlightened” and found Judaism where some rabbis suggest you pre-tear your toilet paper before Shabbat so that you won’t be guilty of “work”?  Does that make more sense to you than “believing in Jesus?”  If so, then perhaps you should consider pre-chewing your food, as well...God forbid, you be guilty of causing your jaws to work on Shabbat!

So, back to the question as to WHO, exactly stopped you from seeking YHWH’s Truth yourself BEFORE you became so all-fired “enlightened” and found Judaism?

The answer is:  YOU DID, you dummy!   People like you, who go religion-hopping because you were too dense to seek the Holy Spirit for guidance in your earlier years, embody the following – because this is exactly what I see in those who have rejected Y’shua, and now feel obligated to spend all their waking hours bashing those of us who still believe in Him:

2 Timothy 3: 1. But know this: That in the latter days hard times will come:  2. and men will be lovers of themselves and lovers of money, boasters, proud, revilers, unyielding towards their own people, deniers of grace, wicked,  3. unloving, addicted to irreconcilable malicious gossips, ferocious, haters of the good,  4. treacherous, rash, inflated, attached to pleasure more than to the love of Elohim,  5. having a form of respect for Elohim but wide from the power of Elohim. Them who are such, repel from you.  6. For of them are they who creep into this and that house and captivate the women who are plunged in sins and led away by divers lusts,  7. who are always learning, and can never come to the knowledge of the truth. (AENT)

Colossians 2:  8. Beware, or else any man make you naked by philosophy and by vain deception, according to the doctrines of men, according to the rudiments of the world, and not according to the Mashiyach  9 in whom dwells all the fullness of Elohim bodily.
(AENT)

If you didn’t “explore the texts for yourself and come to your own conclusions” while you were a supposed Christian or Messianic/HR believer, then I have to be blunt and tell you, you must have been awfully dense or lazy, because the answer to YHWH/Y’shua/Torah is contained in every Bible version there is.  YOU were the problem, not “Christianity” or “the church” or anyone else.  YOU!

The "anti-missionaries" are still trying to "debunk" the Messianic prophecies....

Australian radio host Jono Vandor just can't leave it alone.  He's still out there "debunking" our Messianic Prophecies article on The Refiner's Fire on his podcasts.  (See Truth2U.)  Jono wrote in response to someone trying to defend Y'shua:   “Hosea” means salvation, “Yehoshua” (Joshua) means YHVH saves. Jesus’ name, according to the New Testament, which was written in Greek, was “Iesous” and he failed to fulfill even one messianic prophecy." 

Yup, he's right.  For those who like to sit and twist Scripture "Jesus" didn't even fulfill one messianic prophecy, LOL!  However, for those of us whose eyes have been opened to ALL of YHWH's Truth, you can bet your bottom dollar YESHUA has fulfilled at least 300 of them!  Not one other "messiah" - dead or alive - has ever accomplished this!  See Messiah Qualifications and Biblical Feasts.  

Amazing that so many believers in Yeshua today (who came out of Christianity to accept Torah) are going  a step further to REJECT Y'shua in order to follow the Jewish anti-missionary rabbis and people like Jono who sit around "debunking Jesus" all day long!  Ironically, it has apparently never dawned on all these "intellects" that if YESHUA is a myth, then how can anyone honestly  believe the "Old Testament" stories? 

I mean - come on!  - they frown on the idea of Yeshua and the New Testament and refer to them as myths, while at the same time they speak of a God who – in all honesty - nobody has ever seen because “we cannot look upon God without dying” (Exodus 33:20)…who supposedly breathed the heavens and earth into being in just 7 days, and made a man out of dirt who got kicked out of a place called Eden for taking a bite out of an apple.  Noooo - they don’t question that!   All that apparently seems perfectly logical.

They don’t question the passages that tell us God became so angry with the world that He sent a flood that wiped out everybody except for Noah and his family who ended up populating the earth all over again.  And they have no problem believing that Lot’s wife was turned into a pillar of salt, or that God spoke to Moshe through a “burning bush” or that a donkey talked!  And they have no problem visualizing Moshe parting the sea to allow a couple million Israelites to cross on dry land – which, believe me, took more than a few hours! - and then drowning Pharoah and the Egyptians who gave chase....

And honestly, has anyone seen a video of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego going into a burning oven and coming out unscathed? Do we really know for certain that Lot’s daughters committed incest with their own father?  I’m one hundred percent positive that no one alive today can claim that their ancestor was in that cave with Lot and his daughters to witness this – yet the Jewish anti-missionaries and those who have defected to "their side" (who are being used as weapons against "us" now - and may I say I have personally been the victim of their vicious verbal bashings!) accept it as completely true!  And they also see nothing unusual about millions of animals being slaughtered to atone for Israel’s sins....

But to suggest that YHWH would send His Son to teach believers how to walk in Torah and then to be a divine substitute, martyring Himself – now that’s just too much to expect!

I mean, after all, they insist, "Jesus" didn't bring about peace during his time on earth, along with a few other things.  ...Well, it just so happens, we have an answer for that, too!

May Y’shua return very soon to put an end to all the nonsense and put us on HIS Path, where we belong!

A word about the recent "gay pride" parade in Tel Aviv

“Gay pride” in Tel Aviv ....

QUESTION:  What the heck are they PROUD of? Obviously, they are quite proud of the perversion because they certainly don't mind parading around almost naked in the streets, sporting spiked collars and leashes and other sadi-masochistic garb!

And this is ISRAEL - the HOLY LAND!

When is Israel going to learn to put their foot down and rid the Holy Land of such evil?  YHWH calls this behavior an ABOMINATION! See 1 Corinthians 5:13, Deuteronomy 19:19, James 4:7, Romans 12:21, Exodus 20:1-26, Leviticus 26:1-46, Numbers 32:13; Matthew 7: 20-23, or simply Google “evil” on an online Bible and prepare to be amazed at how many times YHWH has warned His people to refrain from ANY kind of evil.

Yet, Israel is crawling with it – just like the rest of the world!  This is how we can KNOW we are in the end times as outlined in the Books of Daniel and Revelation....

Romans 1: 22 Claiming to be wise, they have become fools! 23 In fact, they have exchanged the glory of the immortal God for mere images, like a mortal human being, or like birds, animals or reptiles! 24 This is why God has given them up to the vileness of their hearts' lusts, to the shameful misuse of each other's bodies. 25 They have exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, by worshiping and serving created things, rather than the Creator - praised be he for ever. Amen. 26 This is why God has given them up to degrading passions; so that their women exchange natural sexual relations for unnatural; 27 and likewise the men, giving up natural relations with the opposite sex, burn with passion for one another, men committing shameful acts with other men and receiving in their own persons the penalty appropriate to their perversion.

28 In other words, since they have not considered God worth knowing, God has given them up to worthless ways of thinking; so that they do improper things. 29 They are filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and vice; stuffed with jealousy, murder, quarreling, dishonesty and ill-will; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God; they are insolent, arrogant and boastful; they plan evil schemes; they disobey their parents; 31 they are brainless, faithless, heartless and ruthless. 32 They know well enough God's righteous decree that people who do such things deserve to die; yet not only do they keep doing them, but they applaud others who do the same.

Leviticus 18:22-30 (CJB) You are not to go to bed with a man as with a woman; it is an abomination. 23 "'You are not to have sexual relations with any kind of animal and thus become unclean with it; nor is any woman to present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; it is perversion. 24 "'Do not make yourselves unclean by any of these things, because all the nations which I am expelling ahead of you are defiled with them.25 The land has become unclean, and this is why I am punishing it-the land itself will vomit out its inhabitants.

26 But you are to keep My laws and rulings and not engage in any of these disgusting practices, neither the citizen nor the foreigner living with you;27 for the people of the land have committed all these abominations, and the land is now defiled.28 If you make the land unclean, it will vomit you out too, just as it is vomiting out the nation that was there before you.29 For those who engage in any of these disgusting practices, whoever they may be, will be cut off from their people.30 So keep My charge not to follow any of these abominable customs that others before you have followed and thus defile yourselves by doing them. I am ADONAI Eloheinu.


How much clearer could it be? YHWH created men and women for each other's pleasure and to procreate: 

Malachi 2:14 Nevertheless, you ask, "Why is this?" Because ADONAI is witness between you and the wife of your youth that you have broken faith with her, though she is your companion, your wife by covenant. 15 And hasn't he made [them] one [flesh] in order to have spiritual blood-relatives? For what the one [flesh] seeks is a seed from God....

But instead of turning toward our ELOHIM, people sit around to make excuses for their sinful behavior, insisting He condones it.  And many churches are playing along.  Shame on them!

What a sad, sad world we live in!

What's the difference between at "Greek" and a "Hebrew" mindset?

Have you ever thought about what it means when someone tells you you have a "Greek mindset?"  Well, "Hebrew mindset" and the "Greek mindset" refers to the fact that there is a difference in their respective way of thinking about life, about God, and about Truth. Both the Hebrews and the Greeks were "set" in their thinking about what and how they believed. To the Hebrew God was an easy concept; He was their Creator.

The Greeks, on the other hand, were more prone to be atheistic or agnostic. That is why Rav Shaul (the Apostle Paul) used different approaches when he spoke to the Hebrew and Greek cultures. In speaking to the Hebrews, he could preach the Gospel directly because they already believed in God and in creation. But in his dealings with the Greeks, he first had to present Messiah Yeshua as the Creator God before actually giving them the Gospel.

Rav Shaul (Paul) points out that the "arm of YHWH" is Y'shua who, while on Earth, is addressed in human terms, where Mari (my Master) is more appropriate. This does not mean that Y'shua is not called YHWH elsewhere but, rather, is a forceful way of identifying the source of this "arm" which relates directly to YHWH's name and His chosen messenger. He is the only "messenger" in the Tanakh with the ability to forgive sin and to officiate in the Name of YHWH, as opposed to the title of "El" (Exodus 23:20-22). The angels all have only YHWH's "title" within their names: Gabri-el, Rapha-el, Micha-el....

Here's something that will blow your mind: The "Greek" mindset imagines a tatoo or something similar on the thigh of Y'shua (Jesus) when he returns as "King of Kings, and Lord of Lords" (Rev. 19:11-13,16). But the Hebrew mindset sees something more realistic: The tzit-tzits (braid/knots/tassels) of Yeshua's tallit (prayer shawl) falling across his thighs when He returns to earth atop a white horse!

What are we saying? Well, each letter of the Hebrew alphabet has a numerical value. Consequently, the knots of the tassels on the four corners of a tallit spell out the name of YHWH....(There are actually different trains of thought about this, depending on how the knots are tied. The Sephardics tie the knots in windings of 10, 5, 6, 5 which spells out the numeric values of "YHWH" but the Ashkenazies use windings of 7, 8, 11, 13 which, adds up to 39, which is the numerical equivalent of Deuteronomy 6:4 which cites the Shema.)

Another example of a Hebrew as opposed to Greek mindset can be seen in their respective calendars/timelines. For instance, according to God, a "day" is from "sunset to sunset" (Genesis 1:5) as opposed to "midnight to midnight". He called the days of the week the "first day", "second day", etc., whereas "the world" has named its days and months after pagan gods....

Yom Teruah/Rosh HaShana is on the horizon once again…

This year (2025)  the High Holy Day of Yom Teruah/Rosh Hashana begins at sunset, September 22, and ends at sunset on September 23. (The read...
