Malkhut
Yahweh Avodah or Kingdom of Yahweh Ministry is based from Spokane,
Washington, USA. This congregation can be identified as a Messianic
Jewish and Hebraic Christian Fellowship. The focus is on sharing the
Salvation of Yeshua HaMashiach (Christ), keeping His commandments,
living according to His ways, revealing truth in Bible doctrine,
teaching Hebraic/Jewish roots, and sounding the alarm on major
prophetic events in light of current events that announce Messiah's
Second Coming. We're on the Internet at www.MalkhutYahwehAvodah.org.
Messianic Jews and
Hebraic Christians have identified that Bible doctrines given in
mainstream "church" do not reflect the true message of the
Bible. Many have started to learn that mainstream
"church" doctrines are polluted with pagan practices that
infiltrated the congregations in the last 2,000 years.
These pagan philosophies and practices have
been intermingled with true Bible doctrine as the result of
political maneuvers by early Roman emperors, politicians and corrupt
"church" leaders. One well known emperor was Constantine.
Informed Christians know that Constantine was instrumental in
bringing about apostasy in the "church."
What does it mean to be Messianic Jewish or
Hebraic Christian? These are people who have identified the Bible as
a super-natural book written by God Almighty. Therefore, the Bible
is taken seriously and followed with respect. The Bible is not
regarded as a religious book but instead reality and a way of life.
When the Bible is investigated seriously,
you will discover that no other book in history can prove itself to
be super-naturally written to the extent of the scriptures in the
Bible. You will learn that modern science and knowledge are a
witness to the super-natural origins of the Bible.
Modern technology including computer
science, physics, archaeology, mathematics, statistics, etc. have
unlocked the secrets of the Bible. When properly translated and
interpreted in context, the Bible is a literary marvel with
consistent themes and principles even in spite of the many
authors who wrote the scriptures over many centuries.
Computer technology and statistical
analysis using advanced mathematical techniques are now unlocking
what is known as "Bible Code." Many books can be found on
this subject.
Beyond science are miracles that can
be found in the text of the Hebrew scriptures that is beyond
statistical explanation. There's no need for a computer. The very
letters, words, phrases and stories have patterns giving insight
about the scriptures that you can only comprehend in the Hebrew
language.
In Hebrew, each of the 22 letters have a
symbolic meaning and have a numeric assignment that is called
Gematria. Each letter also has an ordinal number value. To get some
insight into the "glue" that holds the scriptures together
by understanding the symbolism of Hebrew letters and Gematria, I
highly recommend the book titled, "Messiah Volume III,
Understanding His Identity and Teachings Through the Soul of the
Torah" by Avi Ben Mordechai. The ISBN of the book is
0-9643355-5-7 or contact www.Millennium7000.com.
Throughout this 600 page book, you will
find many interesting and eye-opening relationships in the text of
the scriptures that support and amplify the principles and themes of
the Bible. However, the deeper understanding can only be seen in
Hebrew.
Today, it's absolutely amazing that even
fairy-tale like stories in the Bible such as Noah's Ark can no
longer be considered as such. Few understand and know that the
discovery of Noah's Ark is a national monument in Turkey. While in
the West, Noah's Ark is a fable, in the Middle East, it's serious
business that gets the involvement of the government, military,
scientific community and wealthy sheiks.
Visit www.WyattMuseum.com
to learn more about this discovery and other major discoveries such
as the crossing of the Red Sea, the real Mt. Sinai, Sodom &
Gomorrah and the Ark of the Covenant.
The Crossing of the Red Sea is the site
where Moses, by calling upon God, parted the Rea Sea and took the
Israelites across to the other side. Mt. Sinai is where our Creator
descended in the form of fire and thunder and spoke to Moses giving
him the Ten Commandments. The actual burned tip of the mountain has
been identified and made a secured zone by the Saudi Arabian
government. Sodom & Gomorrah are the desert cities that were
burned with sulfur by our Creator. The remains of the actual cities
immersed in ashes of burned sulfur are still in existence today.
Christ's blood has been actually discovered
on the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant under Mount Mariah in
Israel, and has been laboratory tested to have 23 chromosomes. The
blood poured onto the Mercy Seat that was in a cave below Christ's true
crucifixion site (not the one where tourists think it is). Don't
miss studying these discoveries on video by Ron Wyatt.
Those
who are open minded and willing to sincerely and seriously
investigate the scriptures will find many resources on this site to
help better understand why the Bible has super-natural origins.
If you knew that the Creator of the
universe actually wrote a book for us to use and follow, wouldn't
you want to get a hold of that book, unlock it's mysteries,
understand and follow it?
To some the word "open-minded"
and "Bible" are a contradiction in terms. I thought this
way for 32 years myself until I picked up the book and actually read
it. I discovered this way of thinking was the result of ages of
deceptive "church" practices that misrepresented true
Bible doctrine as well as negative and misguided media exposure to
Bible related issues.
The Bible was turned into institutionalized
religion for social, political and military control by hypocritical,
prejudicial and bigoted men and women. Political scientists,
historians and journalists are well aware of the historical and
current use of "religion" for mass influence and control.
Religion is sometimes known as the "opium" of the masses.
The Roman Catholic Church came to power out
of this institutionalized and paganized religious system that called
itself "Christianity." The Book of Revelation prophesizes
that the Beast church lead by the False Prophet will rise from the
Roman Catholic Church system in the last days. Middle Age churches
and modern churches were "born" out of this system. As a
result, the true original message of the scriptures were lost
through difference of time, culture, language and geography. True
Bible doctrines were taken out of context, mistranslated,
misinterpreted and misrepresented. The root of this problem is the
lack of knowledge of Hebraic/Jewish roots and the original language
of the scriptures.
Messianic Jews and Hebraic Christians
recognize that God Almighty of the Bible is the one who spoke to
Moses at Mt. Sinai and delivered His Law, the Torah. The Torah is
the first five books of the Bible. The Ten Commandments are
contained in the Torah and are famous throughout the world. These
commandments represent the essence of God's Law.
The true Hebraic/Jewish religion is
based on a set of books called the Torah, The
Prophets and the Holy Writings. These books in
Hebrew are called, "Torah," "Ketuveem," and
"Nevee-eem," respectively. These writings make up 77% of
the text in the Bible and are collectively known as the
"Tanach" in the Hebrew language. Note that 77% of the text
of the Bible is originally written in Hebrew and recognized by
Judaism. The other 23% is originally written in Greek. The
percentage figures are calculated using a NKJV with no commentary
text.
In light of this, keep in mind that modern
day Judaism also does not reflect the true message of the
Tanach. It is mostly based on subsequent writings in Jewish
religious books from what is known as the Talmud, Mishnah, and
Kabala.
It is well known that
God Almighty identified His name as YHWH (Yahweh) in Hebrew when He
spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai (Exodus
6:2-3). The King James Version
(KJV) of the Bible renders the incorrect name of "Jehovah"
due to poor translation. Jehovah literally means "one who
creates evil" and is a curse on the real Name of Yahweh.
At this time I refer you to "The
Interlinear NIV Hebrew-English Old Testament" by John R.
Kohlenberger III or the "Complete
Jewish Bible" for the correct translation. In Hebrew, YHWH
is pronounced properly as "Yahoo-ah" (Yahuah) and means
"Yah Creates." Yahweh is a more commonly known
pronunciation, although incorrect. This ministry has been using the
incorrect form "Yahweh" and is now updating, where
possible, to the correct version "Yahuah." A study of the
name will be available sometime in the future.
Yahuah reveals Himself later in what is
commonly known as the "New" Testament of the Bible. In His
physical form He is the Son of God or Christ (Hebrews
1:3, Colossians 1:15, 2 Corinthians 4:4).
Christ's true Hebrew name is Yeshua HaMashiach or Yeshua HaMashiach.
The word "HaMashiach" means Messiah in Hebrew or Christ in
Greek. Yeshua, in Hebrew means "Yah's Salvation."
Messianic believers
realize that in order to understand the "New Testament,"
they must interpret the scriptures in the context of the Tanach and
walk in obedience to Yahuah's Law by walking in Spirit and Truth
through prayer. The "New" Testament is inappropriately
named and is better translated as the "Renewed Covenant"
or "B'rit Chadashah" in Hebrew.
The incorrect naming of the Books in the
Bible in English as "Old" and "New" tend to
misrepresent the Bible as being divided into two books - one being
"old" and "done away with," and the other being
"new" and modern. Many are willingly or unknowingly
ignorant that Yahuah declares that He does not change (Malachi
3:6, Hebrews 13:8, Psalm 102:27).
Those who identify themselves as Messianic
Jews or Hebraic Christians today are restoring fundamental truths of
the scriptures as we approach an end of an age- 2,000 years after
Messiah's First Coming and just before His Second Coming.
They are restoring Biblical truths such as
keeping of Sabbath days, keeping of The Lord's Feast Days, keeping
the Law in the Torah and Prophets in light of the B'rit Chadashah,
keeping a true Biblical (Lunar)
Calendar by sighting the first crescent moon.
More truth-seeking Christians are realizing
that the solar-Gregorian calendar is not Biblical and based on
worship of pagan sun gods and goddesses which the scriptures forbid.
January is named after the god Janis, March
after Mars, etc. Wednesday is named after Woden, Thursday after
Thor, and Saturday after Saturn. A good book to review to research
the infiltration of pagan customs is "Fossilized Customs."
You can obtain it from FossilizedCustoms.com
The scriptures reveal that Yahuah's Feast
Days are fundamental in worshipping Him and they also incorporate
His Sabbaths. These "Feasts of the Lord" are Biblical
Holy-Days. If you are not keeping Biblical Holy-Days, who's and what
Holi-Days are you keeping?
As the founder of Malkhut Yahweh Avodah, I
support and compliment other Messianic and Hebraic fellowships.
Please see the section titled, "Washington
State Messianic Congregations," and "Messianic
Associations."
The language of the Bible and spiritual
symbolisms reveal that marriage is a fundamental and critical
doctrine of our Everlasting Father, Yeshua HaMashiach. Therefore
we must understand the doctrine of marriage in full.
For more on marriage according to our Creator, see the study titled,
"Lawful Marriage, Sex, Family and
Divorce" on this page. You will find that
"marriage" as defined by God Almighty is not the same as
marriage defined by the state.
The Bible
begins and ends with a marriage. It begins with the First
Adam's marriage to Eve (Genesis
2:22-24). The Bible ends with
Yeshua HaMashiach's marriage to the "church" or
"called out ones" in the Book of Revelation (Revelation
19:7-10). Yeshua of Nazareth is the
"Last Adam" in the scriptures (1
Corinthians 15:45).
The language of the scriptures also reveal
that our relationship with our Everlasting Father is about marriage
and family. The scriptures are full of terms like,
"father," "son," "daughter,"
"bride," etc. in the context of our relationship to our
Creator.
The Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is feminine
in gender in the Hebrew language while the Father and Son
are masculine. Note that the "church" being filled with
the Holy Spirit is symbolically the bride of Messiah. Once we begin
to understand scripture from this perspective, the verse that
states, "So God created man in
His own image...(Genesis 1:27)"
begins to have a lot more meaning behind it. Now we can comprehend
why almost all of creation is made male and female including
the angels. It glorifies the image of our creator.
A pre-dominant theme throughout the
scriptures is about God's marriage covenant with His people. In
parallel, because "God created
man in His own image...," we
ourselves enter into marriage covenants. To get a deeper
understanding of God's marriage covenant, I recommend the book
titled, "Who Is the Bride of Christ" by Eddie Chumney. You
can get this book at www.hebroots.com
or a Messianic or regular bookstore.
Yahuah's
Kingdom is about having a personal relationship with our Everlasting
Father as well as a personal relationship with family and friends.
This is evident in the First and Second Greatest Commandments.
Please see the ministry's "Mission Statement"
at the top. It's prime message is to share the Salvation of
Yeshua HaMashiach of Nazareth. I'm impressed it is the greatest act
of love for a neighbor in light of the Second Greatest Commandment.
Investigation of scripture reveals that
Yahuah is a God of order. Reading of the Word and observance of the
natural world reveals order in creation. There's a purpose and role
for each created organism. The same applies for roles between men
and women.
In 20th century westernized and eastern
societies, as well as the multitude of nations around the world, men
and women may have a hard time identifying with the doctrine of God
given roles since we are indoctrinated in an atmosphere where roles
and gender are being re-defined that is not of our Creator.
Our Creator sets the tone in scripture and
the role between men and women in marriage that is initiated in Genesis
2:18-23. This role is again
re-emphasized in Ephesians 5:22-30.
Remember, Yahuah says His ways are above our ways, (Isaiah
55:8-9).
Remember, fellowship involves sharing not
only in prayer, worship and studying the Word but also praising our
Everlasting Father, Yahuah, in all our activities such as BBQ's,
picnics, dinner, camping, fishing, tennis, providing
for the poor, biking, hiking, roller-blading, surfing, travel,
planting, adopting an orphan, gardening, golf, baseball, skiing, enjoying
good music, etc.- as long as the activity is Biblically sound
and avoids activities that endorse idolatry and transgresses His
Law.
Before starting anywhere else in this
ministry, first read and understand the study titled, "How
to Keep the Principles of the Sabbath Day and not Desecrate It"
It's about 53 pages and it will
give you a foundation of important principles you should know. The
Sabbath day is a sign of our marriage covenant with our Everlasting
Father, Yahuah. You are encouraged to understand your marriage
covenant with Yahuah.
Be sure to explore the section titled,
"Ministry's Featured
Bible Studies." The focus is on obedience to Yahuah's
Commandments and prophetic revelation experiences.
By the way, if you have an interest in any
of the videos and tapes in the section titled, "Recommended
Videos and Tapes" but can't afford to buy it, I'll be happy
to give you a loaner copy. Be sure to review the "Video,
Audio & Bible Study Education Series Checklist." I have
also provided a collection of important Bible studies from various
congregations in the section titled, "Recommended
Bible Studies from Other Congregations."
At the top of the page, there is a Yahoo! Fellowship
Club designed for meeting like believers for fellowship and to
minister to others who may or may not be born-again believers. Be
sure to join the club to keep abreast of current events, prophetic
warnings and learn doctrine. Be sure to read the Club
Handbook to understand the dynamics of the club.
In a world where most have
not identified with the reality and truth of the scriptures, it may
be difficult to find a believing marriage partner, so all are
welcome to use the club as a place for meeting a partner for
marriage.
In light of this
talk about family, friends and fellowship, always keep in mind our
first loyalty is to Yahuah in the scope of His Ways and Law, the 1st
and Greatest Commandment. The importance of this loyalty is
re-confirmed in Matthew 10:32-40.
When we are forced to make a choice between family, friends or
Yahuah, we must choose Him.
In consideration of the experiences and
revelations my family and I have been through since the summer of
1999, I have learned that my family roots are of the Children of
Menashe. Therefore, I'm going to share with you some information
about the Lost Tribes of Israel.
A remnant of the Tribe of Menashe is found today
near the India/Burma border. See this link www.BneiMenashe.com
and this video by Arts & Entertainment titled, "Quest
for the Lost Tribes" that
uncovers the location of ten of the Lost Tribes. Moshiach.com
has articles on the Lost Tribes on this page titled, "Mystery
of the Ten Lost Tribes Overview." The article covers
regions including Afghanistan, Kashmir, Africa, China, Japan, etc.
These sites cover the exile of the tribes into Asia.
There are sources on the Internet that
cover the exile of the tribes into Europe and America. Two good
sources are from the author of Kehilat
Beth Miqlat and Eddie Chumney at www.Hebroots.org
in his book titled, "Restoring the Two Houses of Israel,"
(ISBN 1-884369-77-4).
As a good neighbor in the Body of Messiah, I've
provided a Personal Testimony
(in work) and Statement of Faith
(in work) for those who may be interested.
Keep in mind the scriptures reveal that hell and
heaven are very real places. I came out of a secular
background where life is liberal and relative. My previous imagination
of heaven and hell came from a mixture of Hollywood movies, English
literature and hints of secular Christian and Islamic theology. I
think Hollywood had the most influence on my imagination. No doubt,
the ending scene in the movie "Titanic" was certainly a
romantic idea of "life after death," and at the time,
worth shedding a few tears.
When I came to realize the truth of the
Bible, I had a hard time with the Biblical concept of hell and
heaven, but it is frighteningly real. We are judged to
one or the other. Don't try to figure out how. Investigate for
yourself if the scriptures are what they claim to be and then follow
them.
We are now entering the very last days
before the Second Coming of Christ. The World Trade Center collapse
was a surreal event. It was a key sign revealing an
anchor in time to give us a perspective of where we are in the
prophetic timeline.
READ the Ministry's Featured Bible studies
titled, "World Trade
Center Collapse: Judgment of Yahweh, The 11:11 Phenomenon, The Whore
of Babylon (Apostate Church) is Divorced, Her First Seal is Broken,"
and "Did
the Seven Year Tribulation Begin? The Collapse of the World Trade
Centers Have Pervasive Prophetic Implications. Did the Year 5993
Start as a Result? Observe how Current Events Parallel the Fall
Feasts of Yahweh."
In the first study, my family and a friend
received revelation knowledge in the months prior to the collapse of
the World Trade Centers pointing to the exact date and general
nature of the event. This event occurred 7 days prior to Yom Teruach
(Feast of Trumpets) which is the beginning of the fall Feast Days.
One of the most fundamental doctrines you
should know is that the fall Feasts of the Lord are a
foreshadow and rehearsal for the Second Coming of Christ. Be sure to
understand them. I highly recommend the video titled, "Prophecies
in the Fall Feasts" by Michael John Rood at www.MichaelRood.com.
I also highly recommend the books "Seven
Festivals of the Messiah" by Eddie Chumney (ISBN
1-56043-767-7) and "Family
Guide to the Biblical Holidays" by Robin Scarlata and Linda
Pierce (ISBN 0-970186-0-4).
In 2003, the fall Feast Days will begin
around September-October and fulfillment of prophecy can extend
through the winter Biblical festivals of Hanukah and Purim that ends
around February/March 2004.
Expect major world events and disasters
that intensify each succeeding year. These events provide a
prophetic picture revealing the meaning of the event in the context
of the Biblical Feast Days.
The Temple Mount conflict in Israel
happened on the eve of Yom Teruach in 2000. The WTC collapse
happened 7 days prior to Yom Teruach in 2001. Saddam Hussein was
given a 48-hour deadline by President Bush exactly over the
two-day Biblical festival of Purim in March 2003. A "surgical
strike" was made against Saddam and his sons in Baghdad at the
end of that deadline, and the bombing of Iraq had begun.

current events for 2002-2003 fall feast days, click

prepared spiritually and physically because it may affect you.
Please take this "Introduction" message
seriously and study the Bible for yourself. Make sure to spend time
in the section titled, "Tribulation
Preparation Resources" for resources on physical
preparation for the times that are approaching.

To
be obedient to the 1st and 2nd Greatest Commandments (Matthew
22:36-40) given by our
Everlasting Father (Isaiah 9:6),
Yeshua HaMashiach (Christ).
| 36
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the
Law?"
37 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God
with all your heart and with all your soul and with all
your mind.'
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.
39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor
as yourself.'
40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these
two commandments." |
To
love God Almighty, Yahuah, is to be obedient to Him by worshipping
Him according to His ways and following His commandments (Exodus
20:6, John 14:15, 21, John 15:9-10, Psalm 119).
The greatest love that can be shared with "your
neighbor" is to share the Salvation of Messiah so they can be
Born Again, follow the Word of Yahuah (Matthew
28:19-20)
and have a personal relationship with our Everlasting Father.
Second is to help those in need- the poor, orphans, widows, the
oppressed, etc. (James
1:27). |
"Woe
to those who make unjust laws,
to those who issue oppressive decrees, 2 to deprive the poor of
their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my
people..."
Our Everlasting Father - Isaiah 10:1-2 |
The Sabbath is a sign of our Marriage covenant with our
Everlasting Father, Yahuah. Obedience to the Sabbath may
also be the Mark of God versus the Mark of the Beast in
these last days.
The Sabbath is the 4th of the
Ten Commandments (Exodus
20:8-11).
This fundamental and critical Bible study will reveal to you
why those who argue that the "Law is abolished"
are mis-guided in doctrine using direct passages of
scripture. You will also learn that Yahuah expects us to
know legal precedence in principles of His Law. The words of
our Everlasting Father in the "New" Testament
explicitly testify as to how He wants His people to keep the
Sabbath day.
There are blessing for keeping the
the Sabbath but death is the penalty for desecrating the
Sabbath under God's Law. Therefore we know our Creator takes
the Sabbath very seriously.

In parallel to our marriage covenant with our Creator, we
ourselves are allowed to enter into marriage. In light of
this, one of the most important concepts of the 2nd
greatest commandment is marriage.
Our Everlasting Father, Yeshua
HaMashiach teaches that marriage and sex is good and
blessed (Genesis
1:22, Genesis 9:7, Genesis 35:11).
Sex is a mark of the creation, almost every living
organism sexually multiplies, and even the angels are
capable of sex because we know that they procreated with
daughters of men by leaving their first domain (Genesis
6:4, Jude 6).
Forbidding marriage is a doctrine of demons, (1
Timothy 4:1-3).
A detailed study of scripture
reveals that sex is the consummation of marriage and
therefore the act of sex is marriage. Here's just one
reference to this principle, Exodus
22:16.
It's also interesting to note that our Everlasting Father
commands husband and wife to not deny sex from each other
except in an agreed arrangement for prayer and fasting (1
Corinthians 7:3-5),
or during the woman's monthly "period of
uncleanness" (Leviticus
15:25-28).
The Holy Spirit, through Apostle Paul acknowledges that
not having sex in marriage or not having marital relations
may create a lustful desire (1
Corinthians 7:9).
God Almighty encourages romance and sexual intimacy in
marriage (Song
of Solomon).
In this study discover the sensual imagery given by the
Holy Spirit in this Song. In contrast to the Song, marital
sex is considered "unclean" in special
circumstances (Exodus
19:15,
Leviticus
15).
Our Everlasting Father hates divorce (Malachi
2:16)
and it is not allowed except under certain conditions. Sex
outside of marriage is adultery. Our Father, Yahuah, holds
a woman's virginity of highest value until her marriage (Genesis
24:16, Leviticus 21:14, 1 Kings 1:2, 2 Corinthians 11:2).
Homosexuality (Leviticus
18:22)
and other forms of sexual immorality (Leviticus
18:23, Leviticus 20:15-16, Leviticus 18:6-30, Leviticus
20:10-27)
is outlawed by our Creator.
The
scriptures throughout the Bible reveal that our Creator
allows both monogamous and patriarchal (polygynous)
marriage relationships. A polygynous marriage is where a man
marries more than one wife but not vice-versa. Principle
in scripture also reveals that under certain circumstances
it is unlawful to "multiply" wives (Deuteronomy
17:16-17).
The nation of Israel was built on
the marriage of one man to four wives. Jacob, the son of
Isaac, had four wives (Genesis
32:22, Genesis 35:22-26).
These four wives are the mothers of the twelve tribes of
Israel. Their names were Leah, Rachel, Bilhah and Zilpah.
Jacob was renamed Israel by God Almighty. Other Biblical
Patriarchs such as Abraham and King David had patriarchal
families. Furthermore, our Everlasting Father is
symbolically depicted in both monogamous and patriarchal
relationships (Jeremiah
3).
There are laws regulating a marriage with more than one
wife (Deuteronomy
21:15).
Forbidding marriage is also a "doctrine of
demons" (1
Timothy 4:1-3).
Because patriarchal marriage is a lawful form of marriage
according to our Everlasting Father, forbidding it is a
"doctrine of demons."
What form of marriage does our
Everlasting Father favor and how is it regulated? Does
Isaiah
4:1-2
imply restoration of patriarchal marriage in the last
days? Scripture does reveal that Yahuah has given wives to
the man of the house favorably (2
Samuel 12:8)
and the matriarchs of the Bible thought giving a wife to
their husband was favorable in God's eyes (Genesis
30:18, Genesis 30:1-24; Genesis 16:2).
Does scripture reveal problems with Patriarchal marriage?
We'll
look into the issues of patriarchal marriage in this study
and when it is lawful and when it is unlawful per
principles in scripture. A word of caution to those who
may consider pursuing a patriarchal marriage- be sure to
understand what it means to have a marriage covenant
according to Yahuah that may disallow you from seeking a
patriarchal marriage. Meanwhile, here is a
section of resources to Patriarchal
Christian sites that discuss patriarchal marriage
relationships.
Death is the
penalty for committing adultery or certain kinds of sexual
immoralities under God's Law, therefore we know He takes
this very seriously. At this point
what is puzzling is there is no explicit command against
female to female intimacy in the Torah in the section on
Laws for sexual relations in the Book
of Leviticus. In this book,
various types of sexual activity that is not allowed by
our Creator is covered in detail.
However, in the B'rit
Chadashah there is one verse that has been interpreted and
translated to disallow sexual intimacy between women (Romans
1:26-27).
In order to enjoy God's
blessings and avoid committing Adultery and certain kinds
of sexual immoralities, we need to understand how our
Creator recognizes Marriage, Sex, Family and Divorce.
Forbidding adultery is the 7th
of the Ten Commandments (Exodus
20:8-11).
Our Everlasting Father's mercy is greater than His
punishment for symbolism in scripture reveals that He will
forgive the harlot, cleanse her and betroth her to Himself
(Hosea
2:1-23).
Interested in highlight of
courtship in the scriptures? Did you know that Abraham's
gift to Isaac's prospective wife, Rebekah, was a nose ring
and two bracelets (Genesis
24:22,30)?
We'll take a look at many more courtships in scripture in
this study and an in-depth review of marriage, sex, family
and divorce in light of Rabbi Shaul's (Paul's) Epistles.

| Our
Everlasting Father defines Love in the scriptures. Love is
a key word in the First and Second Greatest commandments-
therefore we need to understand what love means as defined
in the scriptures. Observation hints that satan has
re-defined love over the centuries. Satan, like any sharp
lawyer, unable to change the covenant, appears to have
changed the definition and meaning of the words. For a

Learn how to count the Omer in the context of a Biblical
(Lunar) Calendar and keep Shavuot (Pentecost) on the
proper Biblical day. For a Bible study on keeping a
Biblical Passover using a multitude of references to
scripture select one of the formats below. |
| This
study is the result of revelation knowledge that occurred
during the season of Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread
and Shavuot. Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread was
observed Aviv 15-21 (April 10-16, 2001) where "Rosh
Chodesh" was identified on the evening of March 26th.
Recognizing that the New Moon and the moon cycles
determine the Sabbath days is in the forefront of
revelation knowledge concerning this Holy Day. Scripture
reveals that the Sabbath day is not from Friday at sunset
to Saturday at sunset. Yahuah's Sabbaths are based on
sighting of the first crescent moon and the moon's seven
day cycle that corresponds to the 1st quarter moon, full
moon, 3rd quarter moon and last crescent moon. Each cycle
is instrumental in a 7 day moon-based week. This method of
identifying the true Sabbath day was introduced by
Jonathan David Brown of Messianica.net,
confirmed by revelation and study by Bill K. of Kehilat
Beth Miqlat who has expanded on this doctrine with
critiques, and confirmed by revelation and study by James. This is a major revelation, so please stay tuned.
To start following the Sabbath according to scripture and
not tradition, check out the Lunar
Biblical Calendar. For a detailed review of scripture

| Is
Ariel Sharon a type of "End-Times" Mordecai? The
theme in the Book of Esther is about the re-union of the
House of Judah with the House of Israel during a time of
great persecution. Is this a prophetic foreshadow of the
re-union of the House of Judah with the House of Israel in
the last days? Where is the House of Judah today? Where is
the House of Israel today? According to authors like Bill
K. and Eddie Chumney,
there will be a restoration of the Two Houses of Israel in
the last days. The two houses are the House of Judah
(Judaism) and The House of Israel (Christianity). The
Biblical holiday of Purim is based on the Book of Esther
and it is interesting to note that Ariel Sharon's first
day in office fell on the start of Purim. To study this

Did you know that Yeshua of Nazareth (Christ) was born
either during Yom Kippur or the Biblical Feast of
Tabernacles and conceived during Hanukkah? For those who
are still involved with celebrating Christmas in
recognition of the birth of Christ, I recommend you
investigate the pagan origins of Christmas and why it is
not founded on the Bible.
Find out why this holiday is an
abomination to our Creator. See the Bible study from
Yahweh's New Covenant Assembly titled, "Is
Christmas a Biblical Observance?" and spend time
with the material at www.TooLong.com.
Anyone keeping Christmas should know the verse from Jeremiah
10:2-4 (KJV):
2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the
heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of
heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are
vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest,
the work of the hands of the workman, with the
axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with
gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers,
that it move not. |
Does it surprise you that our Everlasting Father directly
references the custom of Christmas in His word and tells
us how He feels about this Holi-Day? Learn how to
celebrate Yom Kippur and the Feast of Tabernacles and
understand their prophetic foreshadow in this Bible study.

| The
first two of Ten Commandments is in Exodus
20:3-5.
Israel was severely punished by our Creator, Yahuah, for
their idolatry. Many believers today are unaware what
idolatry encompasses. There are those who still worship
the calf or "bull" such as the stock market.
Others worship idols like Santa Claus (satan's claws) who
"sees you when your sleeping and knows when you're
awake and knows if you've been bad or good." In many
cases, you merely have to watch a Hollywood movie in order
to participate in idolatry and involve yourself in a false
reality that has themes that are anti-Yahuah. Find out why
man-created pictures of Messiah is breaking the 1st
Commandment. The Bible, made of paper, in itself can
become a carved wooden idol when believers begin to carve
out parts of the Word to suit their own needs and
prejudices instead of completely submitting to Yahuah's
Word. Know how pervasive the use of names of pagan gods
are in our culture. Product labels such as Nike, Cereal,
Hershey, etc. all have names with roots to pagan gods and
goddesses. There are many more that will astound you.
"Bowing down" before a national flag is
idolatry. If you are looking to make an effort to be
obedient to Yahuah and keep yourself from His judgment for
idolatry, spend time with this bible study. Select one of

| Exodus
20:16
is the 9th of the Ten Commandments. I've noticed in
the Body of Messiah, the pre-mature and pervasive desire
of professing believers to publicly call others within the
Body "false prophets," etc. Also many
participate in "hearsay" and "gossip"
that may destroy the character of a neighbor. Keep in
mind, when one participates in this kind of activity, you
may be at risk of "bearing false witness against thy
neighbor," and therefore breaking the 9th
Commandment. In Matthew
5:22,
Messiah adds another dimension to this commandment and
tells the Believer that he "shall be in danger of
hell fire." It is important we understand the
fine-line between being a true eye-witness and being a
false witness. Let's take a closer look at this
commandment. Select one of the formats below. |
