Everyone of us has times when it seems that the whole world is coming after us. When we can see no light at the end of the tunnel, and where Satan has his hands on our throats. The pain of the battles fills our souls and then our minds are fighting to stay focused on YHVH. To think, however, that you are the only one to go through this is letting your mind slip away.

What makes the Disciples of the Word different than those in the Kingdom of Satan is that we have a guarantee via that Word. We know that if the Word says that we shall not be left alone, then we will not be left alone. It is because of the unchanging nature of the Word that we can have full assurance that everything will be alright.

Satan cannot offer anyone a guarantee because his word changes to fit what he needs to conquer a soul. He makes promises that he knows he will not be able to keep. He will tell you anything that you want to hear simply so that you will submit to him and his rule over you.

The great divide or chasm is the difference in the way YHVH set things us and the way Satan has corrupted this world into living. No difference is any bigger than when it comes to the family. YHVH gave the example that when He says something, He never goes back on it. When He makes a commitment, He will not break that commitment. Today, what we call marriage vows are something that is disposable. Our promises are not made to be kept, but are said only to get us what we want. This is what Satan does.

YHVH set up the family unit in the Garden of Eden. In that garden, there was no sin, there was not time, there was no death, there was only eternity. In that, He created two souls but placed them in one body. Then, He pulled the one out of the body and created a separate body for that soul. To the soul in the first body, He commanded that soul take care of everything, and to the soul in the second body, He commanded that soul to help the soul in the first body to complete the assigned task. YHVH knows what works and what does not. Who are we to question the wisdom of our Creator?

Satan went after the weakest link in this family chain – Chavah or Eve. This is the tactic he still uses to this day. Modern scientists tell us that a woman acts more using emotions while the man acts more using the analytical part. Emotions can deceive and emotions can cause us to lose focus on YHVH. Emotions bring cloudiness while applying the Word of YHVH as He gave it brings absolutes.

Chavah fell under the attack of Satan, and because she fell, she could not help her husband to fend off the attacks from Satan. Satan is constantly looking for a way to destroy the souls of people. Since the original blueprint is still accessible to us in the Word, we know that spiritually, when a husband and a wife marry, they then are one body as the original design shows us. “Wherefore they are no more two, but one flesh.” (Matthew 19:6a Webster)

So, based on the original blueprint, by taking down one, you will adversely impact the other. It then weakens other chains and this can lead to the destruction of the family and souls. Lest anyone wishes to blame the women for all the evils and trials that come upon the family, let me remind you of one thing: it is the husband’s job to make sure that the wife is defended.

The husband, according to Scripture is the head of the family. He would be like the captain of the ship. His job is to see the ship/family through safely to their destination. The wife, then is the ship, and being the ship means that she is the one that protects the family. The first shots of the enemy will be directed at her. It is the captain’s job to put the ship in the best possible place to make sure that the ship survives, all the while using every weapon at his disposal to protect the ship and the people and cargo that the ship carries. If the ship fails, the captain has failed. When the captain makes a mistake, the ship can still pull the captain through.

Another analogy is that of those families heading westward over the plains looking for a fresh start out west. They went over the land in covered wagons. The husband would be the one controlling the reigns guiding the covered wagon – the wife – to their destination. When the enemies would attack, they would circle the wagons to make sure that they had protection and cover so that they could battle the enemy. Granted, these analogies may be crude, but they point out how important the wife is to the family and how that the husband must protect the wife ferociously.

YHVH set in motion the family, and also realized that sometimes, the job that is asked of one woman is too much for her to bear alone. People get angry when you bring up the discussion of polygamy, because they say it degrades women. But when you look at the example of Jacob and his wives, you will see that if YHVH wanted Jacob to only have one wife that would have 12 children, then He would have made it that way. Also, in the example of Elkanah who had two wives: Hannah and Peninnah. Had YHVH disapproved of this, would He have blessed Hannah with a son who was Samuel, the prophet?

But all of that aside, if the job of protecting and taking care of the husband is too much for one wife, Scripture shows YHVH allows for another wife to be brought in to help the first wife and the husband to achieve the task given by YHVH to the family. When the husband married the first wife, the two became one flesh, and so when the one flesh married the second wife, the two became one flesh.

The wives can help each other to make sure that the family is running right. The tasks assigned by YHVH to the wife does not fall only on one person who could become overwhelmed, but now can be shared. There is another that can help strengthen and protect the husband. The flip side of this, though, is that there is another link that Satan can attack to bring down the family. Improperly trained children can become links that Satan attacks. Satan, in a family with more than one wife, can choose to attack using jealousy or some other form of attack that causes the wives to be divided. Just as we have assurance that there is “One Adonai, one faith, one baptism” (Ephesians 4:5), with one body, we must have one mind. All parts working on one accord so as to work as a team. When one part fails to act as a team and begins acting in a selfish manner, then the team is no longer in one accord.

In the modern times we live in, since there is always a way to go back on your word, no one trusts anyone else. We are to completely trust YHVH and in doing so, we must completely trust the members of our family. The wife or wives need to know everything about their husband so that the wife or wives can protect their husband when Satan attacks, and vice versa. In the modern world, we are quick to assume the worst and think that a person who has a weakness in a particular area is going to act on it or is hopeless. The truth is that by knowing your spouse’s weaknesses, you can help keep them from falling. And further, we forget that when we make a mistake and sin, we would prefer mercy over justice, and so if we desire that for ourselves, we must give that to others as well.

No matter what happens, we must follow the blueprint given to us by YHVH. We must always follow His paths, even though they seem peculiar and cause others to oppose us. As a family, we need to stand together so that we can make the journey safely. Trust is knowing that someone has your back no matter what. YHVH always has your back, and so should your family.

If I was going to want to read a how to book on exactly a good way to deceive others, I think the best way would be to start with the how to deceive the masses book that teaches the way Christianity has embraced and had intercourse with witches. That intercourse has produced new Greek scrolls, new Greek definitions, and new versions of the Scripture. From a cooking perspective, I know that if I mix ingredients together, when I serve them on the table, you will not be able to see all the individual ingredients but will have one dish that is made from all the ingredients that I put in there. This is where we get the perverted truth being taught in our seminaries, Christian Universities, and churches.

Young excited men that have left school and are eager to teach and preach the gospel go out and teach and preach the Satanic gospel instead. Most of them never know that there is a difference. Most of them never even know about the roots in witchcraft that their teaches comes from. This will undoubtedly make many of you angry, but it is the truth and it is very much important that you do not stop reading here. All sins are equal and so anyone who sins is just as worthy to get into heaven as Hitler was. Yes this is a startling statement, but the truth is that the sin of adultery is just as guilty as the sin of lying, which is just as guilty as the sin of addiction, which is just as guilty as the sin of homosexuality, which is just as guilty as the sins that Hitler committed.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God". (Romans 3:23) "For the wages of sin is death". (Romans 6:23a) My statement above is just plain ugly, but sin is just as ugly to YHVH. While He loves the person, it is because the obscenity of the sin that He diverts His eyes and does not look upon the sinner. The sin of perverting the truth that leads to the spiritual deaths of millions is just as bad as the sin that lead to the deaths of all the Jews plus others in Nazi Germany. No sin is greater that another. A little white lie is equal to rape; saying a bad word as committing bestiality. The truth can be hard to hear and harder to swallow, and that is why so many people must have the truth perverted so that they can take it.

Now if I begin telling you that people who associate with witchcraft and occultic studies rewrote the way the Scripture is written, this should send a red flag up in anyone's, who claims to be a follower of the Messiah, mind. But the fact that most of what I am going to say will be brushed off is fact that modern day Christians are just pagans attempting to wear sheep's clothing. And the sad fact is that most of those brushing this off do not realize that this is the truth and have been so indoctrinated by this point that they do not wish to hear anything different.

So I am now going to start off with one woman and two men. The merger of these three will be startling and you will see how that my previous allusions will perfectly fit this happening. I am going to start off with Brooke Foss Westcott, Fenton John Anthony Hort, and Madame Helena Blavatsky. While you may not know the first two, the last in this list will bring us into the occult studies real quick. She is one of the founders of the Theosophical Society.

"The Theosophical Society was the organization formed to advance the spiritual principles and search for Truth known as Theosophy. The Theosophical Society was founded in New York City, USA, in 1875 by H.P. Blavatsky, Henry Steel Olcott, William Quan Judge and others. Its initial objective was the investigation, study and explanation of mediumistic phenomena. After a few years Olcott and Blavatsky moved to India and established the International Headquarters at Adyar, Madras (Chennai). There, they also became interested in studying Eastern religions, and these were included in the Society's agenda. After several iterations the Society's objectives have evolved to be: 1) to form a nucleus of the universal brotherhood of humanity without distinction of race, creed, sex, caste, or colour. 2) To encourage the study of comparative religion, philosophy, and science. 3) To investigate the unexplained laws of nature and the powers latent in man. In addition to the stated objectives, as early as 1889 Blavatsky purportedly had told a group of Theosophical students that the real purpose of establishing the Society was to prepare humanity for the reception of the World Teacher when he appeared again on earth. This was repeated again more publicly by Annie Besant in 1896, five years after Blavatsky's death. (Krishnamurti: The Years of Awakening, Mary Lutyens [John Murray] 1975, p.12) In Blavatsky's own writings, the only reference to a similar idea indicated that it would not be for at least a century. (Blavatsky Collected Writings Volume XII, page 492)" (Wikipedia)

Her works inspired people from all backgrounds and places. People like Charlse Webster Leadbeater, an Anglican priest ordained in 1879. In 1883, he joined the TS and met Madame Blavatsky in 1884. In 1885, he traveled with Olcott and helped found and was the first headmaster of the English Buddhist Academy. Leadbeater was also ordained into the Liberal Catholic Church.

Another was Alice Bailey who wrote of the Jew and their characteristics, "materialism, cruelty and a spiritual conservatism" (Bailey, Alice A. (1957). The Externalization of the Hierarchy. Lucis Trust. pp. 77–79) and the "separative, selfish, lower concrete mind." (Bailey, Alice A. (1972). The Rays and the Initiations. Lucis Press. pp. 707) She wrote that Jews "take what they want, to see to it that their children get the best of everything available, no matter what the cost to others"; they "blame the non-Jewish nations for their miseries"; and, "The Jew needs to recognize his share in bringing about the dislike which hounds him everywhere." (Bailey, Alice A. (1947). Problems of Humanity. Lucis Trust. pp. 103–105)

Rudolph Steiner was another member of the TS. He believed in reincarnation and karma. "In the 1920s, Steiner was approached by Friedrich Rittelmeyer, a Lutheran pastor with a congregation in Berlin. Rittelmeyer asked if it was possible to create a more modern form of Christianity. Soon others joined Rittelmeyer — mostly Protestant pastors and theology students, but including several Roman Catholic priests. Steiner offered counsel on renewing the sacraments of their various services, combining Catholicism's emphasis on the rites of a sacred tradition with the emphasis on freedom of thought and a personal relationship to religious life characteristic of modern, Johannine Christianity. (Robert McDermott, The Essential Steiner, Harper San Francisco 1984)

"Steiner made it clear, however, that the resulting movement for the renewal of Christianity, which became known as `The Christian Community', was a personal gesture of help to a movement founded by Rittelmeyer and others independently of the Anthroposophical Society. (Robert McDermott, The Essential Steiner, Harper San Francisco 1984) The distinction was important to Steiner because he sought with Anthroposophy to create a scientific, not faith-based, spirituality. (Carlo Willmann, Waldorfpädagogik: Theologische und religionspädagogische Befunde, Kölner Veröffentlichungen zur Religionsgeschichte, Volume 27) For those who wished to find more traditional forms, however, a renewal of the traditional religions was also a vital need of the times." (Wikipedia)

Still another person was Aleister Crowley. Even to witches, this name is synonymous with evil. Before his fathers death, Crowley was a strict Brethren. After the death, he drifted farther away from Christianity. Finally, he broke with the Church of England and wrote, "The Church of England . . . had seemed a narrow tyranny, as detestable as that of the Plymouth Brethren; less logical and more hypocritical. When I discovered that chapel was compulsory I immediately struck back. The junior dean halled me for not attending chapel, which I was certainly not going to do, because it involved early rising. I excused myself on the ground that I had been brought up among the Plymouth Brethren. The dean asked me to come and see him occasionally and discuss the matter, and I had the astonishing impudence to write to him that `The seed planted by my father, watered by my mother's tears, would prove too hardy a growth to be uprooted even by his eloquence and learning.'" (The Confessions of Aleister Crowley) He was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Ordo Templi Orientis and A A , founded the religion called Thelema, practiced sex-magik, and homosexuality.

Finally, I wish to point out one other person. His name is Adolph Hitler. There is disagreement between historians about Hilter's involvement in the occult, but some believe he was influenced by the German occult magazine Ostara. The magazines founder, Lanz Von Liebenfels, claimed hitler visited him in 1909 and praised his work. (Rosenbaum, Ron [Explaining Hitler] p. xxxvii, p. 282 [citing Yehuda Bauer's belief that Hitler's racism is rooted in occult groups like Ostara], p. 333, 1998 Random House) By the way, the magazine taught Theosophy which leads us back to the TS.

We will get back to Hitler in a little bit. The TS had as a seal the Swastika, the Star of David, the Ankh, and the Ouroboros. The Ouroboros is a snake or dragon swallowing its tail in its mouth forming a circle. It is a favorite of alchemists as well as those believing in reincarnation. The TS also has spawned a sort of new age Christianity that is headed by Elizabeth Clare Prophet. Her and her husband (Mark Prophet, who died in 1973) have written many books including The Lost Years of Jesus. Her teachings, the foundation of the Church Universal and Triumphant, takes all of Madame Blavatsky's teachings as gospel and adding in new age teachings. This is all wrapped up with Jesus and Christianity. And the Encyclopedia of the Unexplained claims that Blavatsky got her teachings from Philo's School in Alexandria, Egypt. (The encyclopedia of the Unexplained, ed Richard Cavendish [New York: McGraw Hill 1974]) That school produced copies that scribes had made of both the Tanach and the New Testament.

As you can see, there is a lot of blending of witchcraft and Christianity here, as well as the hatred of Jews. However, there are more serious and egregious errors to come. Let us return now to Westcott and Hort. Together, they teamed up to publish in 1881 The New Testament in the Original Greek. Westcott himself studied many different religions. He read and studied The Sacred Books of the East. "The Sacred Books of the East is a monumental 50-volume set of English translations of Asian religious writings, edited by Max Müller and published by the Oxford University Press between 1879 and 1910. It incorporates the essential sacred texts of Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, and Islam." (Wikipedia) He "earnestly contended that no systematic view of Christianity could afford to ignore the philosophy of other religions." (Wikipedia)

Westcott was very much into mystical and occultic teachings and learnings. He began the Ghostly Guild at Cambridge and also was a member of the Hermes Club. Let me start with the second group first. One could say that being in a group in a College or University is common place and therefore it is not anything that would signify that a person is not a believer. You could say that, but I would argue that being a member of any organization, club, or anything that delves into or teaches anything unScriptural is fruits of sin and not of the Spirit. The Hermes group is named after a pagan god. We are to "make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth." (Exodus 23:13b) Obviously, this commandment slipped Westcott's mind. The name of the group originally is The Philological Society, which we will discuss Philo in a little bit. When you look at some of the things that Westcott discussed, some of the topics include The Mythology of the Homeric Poems and The Theology of Aristotle. If we are not to mention the names of other gods, then why are we even studying myths and fables? And since Aristotle was in no ways a disciple of the Word, then why would anyone be filling their minds with unScriptural teachings of a pagan, unless you were studying paganism? These are excused in by the devout followers of their Greek text in that the Law was done away with.

The other group was the Ghostly guild. This guild was created to investigate spiritualism. They looked into things like seances, spiritualism, and any supernatural event. Why would anyone who is a disciple of the Word be looking into things that are set out in Scripture as sin? If you are to be studying the Word of YHVH, when do you have time to fill your head with things that are not of the Word of YHVH? "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." (Philippians 4:8) What part of the studying and lectures in the Hermes Club or the investigations of the Ghostly Guild meet the requirements of Philippians chapter 4 verse 8?

Also, there is one other passage of Scripture that should be noted here. And let us quote it from a product of their own work: "Be not deceived: Evil companionships corrupt good morals." (1 Corinthians 15:33 ASV 1901) The company we keep affects our behavior and morals. If we hang around evil people, their behavior will rub off on us. "Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good." (Romans 12:9b) If we can not stand to be around evil, then would we be found in a Ghostly Guild? Even if you say that their work there was nothing, then you still have to answer the previous question. Where in Scripture does it command us to go chasing ghosts? I find in Scripture passages saying the complete opposite. So how can they be following the Word of YHVH when they were disobeying It? Since they chose to be companions of evil men and women and sought out evil countenance, how can we trust them to accurately translate Scripture?

And Westcott and Hort, in translating the Greek text of Scripture, preferred using the Alexandrian Greek Texts written in the School of Plato in Alexandria as superior to the Majority Text of the Greek. Let us look at the School of Plato and Alexandrianism which has brought us the Alexandrian Text. "But the growing power of `tradition' had already begun to kill religious philosophy; and the progressive degradation of Christianity into a religion of cultus affected Christian Platonism in precisely the same way in which Neo-Platonism suffered between Plontinus and Jamblichus. Dionysius the Areopagite is the representative of this application of Alexandrian allegorism to ritual and dogma. The first vogue of this extraordinary writer coincided with a reaction in favor of Origen. Among later developments of Christian Platonism, which owed some of their inspiration to the Alexandrian theology, it is necessary to mention only the philosophical mysticism of Eckhart and his successors, the `Cambridge Platonism' of the 17^th cen., and in our own day the theology of F. D. Maurice, Westcott, etc. . .Westcott says of Origen, `We have not yet made good the positions which he marked out as belonging to the domain of Christian Philosophy." (Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics, Volume A, pgs 318-319, James Hastings) James Hastings (1852–1922), was a Scottish Presbyterian minister and scholar committed to popularization of the most recent Bible-related findings by soliciting contributions from many theologically conservative, but also knowledgeable Christian scholars.

In here, Mr. Hastings writes about Platoism. That is the teachings and doctrines from Plate and the school of Plato found in Alexandria. Note that there is a connection in Mr. Hastings writing with Westcott and the Cambridge Platonists and F. D. Maurice. F. D. Maurice, whose full name is John Frederick Denison Maurice, was the son of a Unitarian minister, who produced in 1853 a work entitled Theological Essays. At this time, he had been an ordained Anglican priest since 1834 and in 1846, was added to the chair of divinity at King's College, London. Theological Essays was denounced thoroughly by Dr. R. W. Jelf and the council at King's College calling it unsound theology. Maurice's brother-in-law, Julius Charles Hare, called Maurice, "The Greatest Mind since Plato." Julius Hare, interestingly, studied in Weimar, Germany studying under Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.

Goethe was a philosopher and his work even was used by Charles Darwin, founder of Darwinism. Goethe was also a prolific writer and in many of his writings, of which Faust is but one, he depicts "hetero- and homosexual erotic passions and acts. In Faust, having signed (the Devil insists on his signature in an actual contract) his deal with the devil, the very first use of his new power thus gained sees Faust raping a young teenage girl. In fact, some of the Venetian Epigrams were held back from publication due to their sexual content. However, Karl Hugo Pruys caused national controversy in Germany when his 1999 book The Tiger's Tender Touch: The Erotic Life of Goethe tentatively deduced from Goethe's writings the possibility of Goethe's homosexuality. (Karl Hugo Pruys, The Tiger's Tender Touch: The Erotic Life of Goethe. Trans. Kathleen Bunten. [Edition Q, 1999]) The sexual portraitures and allusions in his work may stem from one of the many effects of Goethe's eye-opening sojourn in Italy, where men, who shunned the prevalence of women's venereal diseases and unconscionable conditions, embraced homosexuality as a solution that was not widely imitated outside of Italy. (Outing Goethe and His Age, edited by Alice A. Kuzniar [Palo Alto: Stanford University Press, 1996]) Whatever the case, Goethe clearly saw sexuality in general as a topic that merited poetic and artistic depiction. This went against the thought of his time, when the very private nature of sexuality was rigorously normative, and makes him appear more modern than he is typically thought to be. (Outing Goethe and His Age, edited by Alice A. Kuzniar [Palo Alto: Stanford University Press, 1996])" (Wikipedia)

Goethe began his life as a Protestant Lutheran, but during his life, his religious beliefs evolved into humanism, pantheism, and Western esotericism. Esoteric is a form of witchcraft. Near his death, Goethe penned, "I have found no confession of faith to which I could ally myself without reservation. Now in my old age, however, I have learned of a sect, the Hypsistarians, who, hemmed in between heathens, Jews and Christians, declared that they would treasure, admire, and honour the best, the most perfect that might come to their knowledge, and in as much as it must have a close connection to the Godhead, pay it reverence. A joyous light thus beamed at me suddenly out of a dark age, for I had the feeling that all my life I had been aspiring to qualify as a Hypsistarian. That, however, is no small task, for how does one, in the limitations of one's individuality, come to know what is most excellent?" (from a letter to Sulpiz Boisserée dated 22 March 1831) The Hypsistarians were a Black Sea sect of Jewish-pagans.

The Cambridge Platonist picked up on the teachings of Plato in Alexandria, and they believed in reason being able to solve any disputes. And while these men were digging up the teachings of the School of Plato, and one of the students there: Philo. Philo (20 BCE–42 CE) had a philosophic ideology on the Tanach in which he "expressed contempt for the literal narrative." He looked specifically for the hidden or occult meaning for Scripture. Here we see the other man in the three person group named afore hand in the disciple of Philo, Dr. Fenton John Anthony Hort. Dr. Hort even said that he, "lay on the sofa and read. . .Clement. . . wrote a piece of my Introduction to [The New Testament in the Original Greek]. . .and references from Philo. . .then a good piece of Shakespear. . .more Introduction. . .and a little Philo at night and some Bible." (Arthur Hort, Life and Letters of Fenton John Anthony Hort, Vol. 2 [London: McMillan and Co., 1896])

If I were to tell you that you were not smart enough to understand what Scripture really says, would you feel insulted? I for one definitely would. That is the great secret that others wish to lock away. They do not wish for you to be able to look at and understand exactly what Scripture says, because then they would no longer have a hold on you. You are, after all, very important to them. You see, you pay their bills, buy their cars and fancy homes, pay for their trips all around the world, and put food on their table. You buy the designer dresses and their hundreds of dollars suites and shoes, their expensive jewelry, their meals at expensive restaurants, and their children’s tuition to private schools. They do not have to compensate you for your time in advertising their doctrines and commandments. No, they are not even under any obligation to lift a hand to help you when you are in need. All they have to say is that they will pray for you.

While they sit in those expensive houses that you, through your continued giving of your money, have bought them, do they care that you do not have near as nice of house or that you are struggling just to make that monthly house payment? While they go to fancy stores to buy expensive clothing, do they even think about you, your spouse or your children having to do without new clothes or maybe even used clothes simply because you can not afford it? While they eat at those fancy restaurants where their bill may be in the hundreds of dollars, do you think they are thinking about how you are struggling to put food on the table for yourself and your family, even possibly having to skip meals to do so? When they are buying those fancy cars, do you think they are thinking about how you barely have a running vehicle at all or maybe you are relying on others or mass transit to get you where you need to go? Sure, they may start a panty or a clothing ministry where very few people donate anything or if it does have a lot, some if not most of the food items are expired and the clothing is stained or torn. Does that really make them feel better that they have the best of things while you are struggling with everything? Is that the way Yeshua lived His life?

How many times have you seen a homeless person and drove off real quick fearing that the individual may harm you or that you just did not want to be in that bad of a neighborhood? For all you know, they may be murderers or rapists sitting or lying there in need of food, clothing, and shelter. You donate money to sooth your conscience, but when brought face to face with such and individual, you may run, or worse yet, you may call the government to run those people away.

So you think the worst about people, but then you come across a passage that says: “Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” (Hebrews 13:2) Then you come across another passage that says, “Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was an hungred, and ye gave Me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave Me no drink: I was a stranger, and ye took Me not in: naked, and ye clothed Me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited Me not.’ Then shall they also answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when saw we Thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto Thee?’ Then shall He answer them, saying, ‘Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to Me.’ And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.” (Matthew 25:41-46) Then the words of Yeshua come echoing through your mind: “And Jesus saith unto him, ‘The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head.’” (Matthew 8:20)

It is so much easier to allow someone else to worry about people like that. You hand off money or other forms of donations to them and allow them to worry about those people. After all, you have done your part, right? There are liars and thieves in this world, but do we overcome the darkness with a blind eye? Or do we, rather, overcome evil with good? How are we to show others YHVH and Yeshua if we do not treat others like They would treat them. Remember the old saying, “There but by the grace of God go I”?

Once you look into the Scripture and see what it says, then you are obligated to immediately make the decision that either you will follow the Scripture as it really says, or you will reject the Scripture and seek something or someone else to live your life by. As Scripture says, “Therefore to him who knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.” (James 4:17)

In these times, it is easier to go to someone else to figure out your questions or to do the research for you. One can claim that they do not have the time in the day in which to devote for serious Scripture study. But the moment one makes that egregious statement that they do not have time for Yeshua, the Word of YHVH, the have just stated that there are other things that come before YHVH, and that is idolatry. No one who claims to be a Christian in their right mind would make such a statement. Regardless of whether they purposely do so or not, they are making that very claim all because they trust someone else to look up the words, and to define the words, and to tell them what the meaning really is.

When you take a word from one language to the next, you can run into a whole host of problems. Some words have direct meanings in translating into some languages, but in other languages, those words might not have a specific meaning. Take for example the problem translating the English word love into the biblical Greek language. In the Greek, you have several different words for love and even compound words depending on the meaning of your use of the word love. There is agape, phileo, storge, and eros just to name a few. So the person doing the translating would have to look at the context of your sentence and try to guess at what is the best form of love to use in that translation.

In using translations such as the Septuagint, you now have a Greek translation of the Scriptures written in Hebrew, that is translated into Latin, that is further translated into English, or German, or French or another language. When assuming that the original translators got the words right, then you make a judgement call on the translation based upon the translation of the original writings.

By simply going back and learning the original language, the confusion of translations is cleared up. By reading the original words and understanding the original meanings, then you can see clearly as to how YHVH wants to you follow Him. In business, it is a good thing to cut out the middleman and deal straight with the company or person you are wanting to buy the product from. In Scriptural understanding, it is a must to cut out the middlemen and meet Yeshua exactly where He is at, or else you will never meet Him.

The onus, then, is completely put on you. If you wish to have a relationship with your spouse, you can not always go through someone else and not go directly to your spouse. If you wish to be part of the Bride of the Messiah, then you must go to and deal directly with the Messiah. Billy Graham never was the Pesach Lamb for you. Joel Olsteen never shed his blood as an atonement for you. Denominational leaders never paid YHVH anything to purchase your ticket into heaven. The pope was not resurrected from the dead. Only the Messiah did all of this, and it is to only the Messiah you have to go. The commentaries and study Bibles made by men who call themselves wise in the Scripture are only filled with the doctrines and commandments of men. Following the teachings contained in these books will not get you to heaven, but will eventually deceive you into believing a perverted truth.

Regardless of whether you listen to the truth or you go running away covering your eyes and ears while screaming at the top of your lungs, you are now held accountable for the truth. “And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent”. (Acts 17:30) There is no excuse for those who either by joy of ignorance or rather by deception have chosen not to know what the truth really says. The truth is there before their eyes, but they do not want to see it. The light of the Word shows how utterly disgusting their lives really are and how that they must give up those things that they love just to follow YHVH.

You can use many different excuses but they all are falsehoods perpetrated on mankind. You can say that you are obeying the government instead of obeying YHVH, but that is a perversion. You can say that you are following the teachings of your “church”, but that is a perversion. You can say that you had a revelation, but if that revelation contradicts or changes anything in Scripture, it is a perversion. Anything not of Scripture is not of YHVH, and anything not of YHVH will keep you separated from YHVH. It is your choice and your decision. A lie is a lie is a lie, no matter who tells it or how many times it is told.

Do not be fooled into believing the lie Satan started back in the Garden of Eden, when he deceived Eve by saying, “YHVH does not really mean what He says.” Study the Word, day in and day out. Cling to the Word of YHVH, for it is the only thing that has the Way to YHVH, the Truth of YHVH, and the Life that YHVH offers to you. Study, cling, and live your life like eternity depends upon it – because it does.
