Enoch and Elijah

The most likely candidates for the end times two witness scenario are Enoch and Elijah, neither of whom died a physical death, but will be killed after their 42 month testimony.  They are the only humans we read of who were not laid to rest with their ancestors.
Genesis 5:21 ~
When Enoch had lived 65 years, he begot Methuselah. After the birth of Methuselah, Enoch walked with Yah 300 years; and he begot sons and daughters. All the days of Enoch came to 365 years. Enoch walked with Yahweh, then he was no more, for Yah took him.
II Kings 2:11 ~ 
As they kept on walking and talking (Elijah and Elisha), a fiery chariot with fiery horses suddenly appeared and separated them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.

The Two Witnesses are described as "the two olive trees and the two menorahs which stand before Master Yahweh. They have the power to stop the rain, to turn water to blood, and to produce all plagues as often as they please. They can send fire out of their mouths and consume who ever attacks them."  And they will be giving testimony for 3-1/2 years = 42 months = 1260 days. Then the Beast that came up from the abyss will make war with them and overcome them. They will leave their bodies in the street for 3-1/2 days while folks celebrate their death. And then Yah will call them up - in that same hour an earthquake destroys part of the city and kills 7,000 people - the rest gave glory to Elohim.

I do not believe that Yah would use someone already dead to fulfill this prophecy as they must die and be 'resurrected' at that time.  Y'shua is our example of one being born, tasted death and was resurrected as the first fruits of the dead.  He now sits at the right hand of his Father. Lazarus died and was brought back to life by Y'shua.  Enoch and Elijah are not dead but were changed in form and in place.  Yah took them because He had a big plan for them to fulfill during the final 3-1/2 years of life as we know it.
1 Kings 17 ~  Elijah the Tishbite who lives in Gilead, said to Ahab, "As Yahweh Lives, the Elohim of Israel whom I serve, there will be no dew or rain except at my bidding." 
Here we read that Elijah has the power to hold back the rain as he sees fits. This is one of the many powers the two end times witnesses have.

And here is the clincher! We read at the end of Malachi:
I will send the prophet Elijah to you before the coming of the awesome, fearful day of Yahweh. He shall reconcile parents with children and children with their parents, so that, when I come, I do not strike the whole land with utter destruction. 
This sounds akin to the command to paint the doorposts and lintels with the blood of the lamb so that the Messenger of death would pass over those places. Same goes for us today who accept the shed blood of Y'shua to save us from death and spending eternity in Fire Lake. Elijah, by his testimony, will cause many to cease being enemies with one another and stop rebelling against Yah; the rest will be destroyed with those final cups of wrath.
Hebrews 11:5 ~
By faith Enoch was translated and did not taste death; and he was not found because Elohim had translated him; for, before he translated him, there was testimony of him that he pleased Elohim. But without faith, a man cannot please Elohim.
Translated defined: to bear, remove, or change from one place, state, form, or appearance to another; to convey to heaven or to a nontemporal condition without death
Neither Enoch nor Elijah have died.

And to note, we who are His Set Apart believers will be changed when that time comes to be gathered together in the clouds at the return of Y'shua.  We will be changed in form, being made incorruptible.  We shall be incapable of corruption such as no longer subject to decay or dissolution. When we enter the promised land, the earthly kingdom of Y'shua the Anointed One, our 'bodies' will be like that of the Messengers (angels):
Mark 12:25 ~
For when they rise from the dead, they do not marry women nor are women given in marriage to men. Rather, they are like the Messengers who are in heaven. (aka: incorruptible spiritual beings = translated from one form to another.)
If we read from the book of Enoch we learn that he did achieve high standing in the heavenlies to the point I sometimes think he replaced the job opening left by Satan.

Please Note: I recommend one be fully in the Word of Elohim via the study of Scriptures before using other writings such as Enoch and Jasher so that one can discern that which lines up with Scriptures.  I do not substitute anything for the Word of our Creator yet find these sources help describe possible scenarios which are only alluded to in Scriptures.  YHWH is our final word on all things.  And we know, if everything that He did and everything that Y'shua did was written down the earth wouldn't be big enough to store all those books 😉

Final Empire

I believe that I am seeing the puzzle pieces begin to fit together in order for the final empire to rise and take over the world:
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Transhumanism
  • The Internet of Things
  • The 5G Network
  • Fake News and False Flags
  • 2045 Avatar Project
  • The End of the USA as a super power
  • Pope Francis the Jesuit
  • United Nations Agendas 21 and 2020
  • The World Government summit meetings in Dubai where all these topics are discussed among its members and presented in a guidebook for all governments on this planet
We have read about this final world empire back when King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon was disturbed by some dreams. Included among those who had been exiled to Babylon was Daniel, and here is what Nebuchadnezzar dreamed:
Daniel 2:32 
The head of that statue was of fine gold; its chest and arms were of silver; its belly and thighs of bronze; its legs were of iron, and its feet part iron and part clay.  A stone was hewn, not by hands, and struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them.  All at once, the iron, clay, bronze, silver and gold were crushed and became like chaff of the threshing floors of summer; a wind carried them off until no trace was left.  But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.
Daniel tells Nebuchadnezzar that YHWH Elohim in heaven reveals mysteries and has made known to the king what is to be at the end of days then proceeds to tell him what the dream means:
The head of gold represents Nebuchadnezzar's current reign as king of Babylon. After his kingdom one represented by the silver, inferior to gold, arises, then yet a third kingdom, of bronze, will rule over the whole earth. But the fourth kingdom, strong as iron, will smash and crush those before it. The feet which were part iron and part clay means it will be a divided kingdom. And the toes which are mixed iron and clay means that kingdom will be part strong and part brittle.
:43 ~ You saw iron mixed with common clay; that means: they shall intermingle with the offspring of men, but shall not hold together, just as iron does not mix with clay.  In the time of those kings, YHWH will establish a kingdom that shall never be destroyed nor transferred to another people.  It will crush and wipe out all these kingdoms and itself shall last forever, just as the stone hewn from the mountain, not by hands, crushed the iron, bronze, clay, silver and gold.
Make a note here, verse 43, "they shall intermingle with the offspring of men..." which sounds an awful lot like what was happening that led up to The Flood which Noah and his family prepared for.  Y'shua also includes this scenario in one of his many warnings about what it will be like during the timeline before he returns to claim his earthly kingdom.  If it will be like is was in the days of Noah there will be the genetic altering of Yah's creation, specifically mankind.  Man was formed from clay and caused to live by the breath of YHWH. This future scenario says clay will be mixed with iron = humans genetically altered = transhumans = robots and cyborgs powered by Artificial Intelligence = humans (clay) mixed with metals (iron). Back in the days of Noah is was the Nephilim who were the genetic hybrids walking the earth because of the Divine Beings who left their station in the heavens and intermingled with human women.

We read about an image to be made of the 'beast' which ties in with folks choosing to receive its mark or name:
Revelation 13:13 (The end times False Prophet has been bringing about great signs, even to make it appear that fire comes down from heaven) - And he seduced them that dwell on the earth to erect an image to the beast who had the wound from a sword and recovered from it. And it was given to him to put life into the image of the beast and to cause that all who would not worship the image of the beast should be slain; and to (instruct that) all people should receive a mark on their right hands or upon their foreheads so that no one might be able to buy or to sell, except those who had the mark of the name of the beast or the number of his name.
To paraphrase: We read of the second beast that comes out of the earth. This beast will appear to us as as a spiritual leader but ends up speaking for Satan, the Dragon. He has all the authority as the first beast (he is government sponsored) and will perform great signs, even to bring fire down from heaven to earth (he has a demonic spirit working in him). This false prophet/religious leader will convince people to make an image, a statue, of the first beast. After they do, this religious leader will appear to have given life to the Image and command all to worship it. Those who refuse will be killed. It is during this time that the Law to be Marked (in order to buy or sell, conduct commerce) will be enforced. Everyone will be required to have this mark on their right hand or upon their forehead in order to shop or sell goods (groceries, gas, clothing, pay bills etc...)
So here we have an image being built that looks like the person who had received a deadly head wound but was able to recover from it... brought back to life, perhaps as in having its conscious uploaded to its cloned image by this false religious leader/scientist. No wonder our Creator warned us long ago about making images that we would be tempted to bow down to and worship.  This one comes with a death sentence for anyone who refuses to bow down to it.

I can easily see the United Nations, who is partnered with the World Government Summit who is partnered with the International Monetary Fund who is mixed in with the World Council of Churches etc.... all being used as the main players in the final world governing system which is represented in Scriptures as the kingdom made up of clay mixed with iron.

Here is a link to a map of the world:

Inalienable Rights

Quote: The word 'inalienable' refers to a natural right that cannot be revoked by an outside force. In the Declaration of Independence Thomas Jefferson (using the un- variant) wrote, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Thomas Jefferson described the term liberty in the Declaration of Independence as “unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others".
Noah Webster’s 1828 dictionary definition: A right is “conformity to the will of God, or to his law, the perfect standard of truth and justice. In the literal sense, right is a straight line of conduct, and wrong a crooked one. Right therefore is rectitude or straightness, and perfect rectitude is found only in an infinite being and his will.” Webster defines a right as conformity to the law of God.
Scripture tells us about some of our "God Given Rights" :
John 1:12 But to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God
Revelation 2:7 ~ He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the assemblies. To the one who is victorious, I will grant the right to eat from the tree of life in the paradise of Elohim.
Revelation 3:21 ~ To the one who is victorious, I will grant the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I overcame and sat down with my Father on His throne.
Revelation 22:14 ~ Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates.

If you spend time reading Scriptures you will see that our Creator did give us His complete set of Instructions for our health and well being, about living and working together in our communities; and as a result of our obedience we were given some rights. Our liberty and freedom come from loving the truth of His Word. We are not to be so self absorbed that we pursue happiness but should be learning from our Creator's Instructions why we should choose The Blessing and how to receive it which is for our well being, thus resulting not only in happiness while we are still upon this earth, but eternal life afterwards. Has mankind been conforming to the will of our Creator and to His Teachings which are the perfect standard of truth and justice?  I don't think so.  The rights given us by YHWH depend on our following His Instructions (not man-made laws) and the rights given by Him are not 'inalienable' and He can revoke them according to the terms of His Covenant. We are not 'once saved always saved'.
Y'shua said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father but by me.
Those who founded the government of this country may of had good intentions by stating that God gave men rights that they wished to uphold but they did not incorporate the whole Word of Yahweh in forming the government, nor did they uphold any of them. They said enough to spawn unity and get the support needed.  No one was really keeping the laws of the Creator then - man had long since taken over, back when they chose a man as king (president; leader) instead of continuing to trust YHWH to rule over them; and He told them beforehand what would happen if they were to do so.  This is evident in today's world as well.
1 Samuel 8:7 ~ Yah replied to Samuel, "Heed the demand of the people in everything they say to you. It is not you they have rejected, it is Me they have rejected as their King. Like everything else they have done ever since I brought them out of Egypt, to this day - forsaking Me and worshiping other gods -  they are doing to you. Heed their demands but warn them solemnly, and tell them about the practices of any king who will rule over them."
Samuel reported back to the people everything Yah had said and gave them the warning. This will be the practice of the king who will rule over you: 
He will take your sons and appoint them as his charioteers and horsemen and they will serve as outrunners (those who run ahead of or beside) his chariots. He will appoint some as chiefs of thousands and of fifties; others will have to work in his fields plowing and reaping the harvests, and they will have to make his weapons and the equipment for his chariots.  He will take your daughters and put them to work as perfumers, cooks and bakers.  He will take your choice lands and vineyards and olive groves and give them to his courtiers (those who attend his royal court as companions or advisers).  He will take a tenth of your grain and vintage and give them to his eunuchs and cronies.  He will take your servants, your best young men, and your beasts of burden and put them to work for himself.  He will take a tenth of your flocks and you shall become his slaves. The day will come when you cry out because of the king whom you yourselves have chosen and YHWH will not answer you.
Let's interpret that warning and bring it into the modern age comparing the deeds of today's world leaders to the kings of days gone by: 

  • They draft young men into military service where they will be workers in the various departments of the industrial military complex
  • Young women will be employed to serve personal needs of those in charge, and ensuring the continued feeding of the war machine
  • Private property will be taken under the law of Eminent Domain whenever it serves his purpose
  • The best of what you've worked for will be taken and given to his cronies per the IRS and/or the act of taking by force your assets (or by legal action) aka: Search and Seizure: a procedure used by police or other authorities and their agents, who, suspecting that a crime has been committed, commence a search of a person's property and confiscate any relevant evidence found in connection to the suspected crime. (Do a little research on the Patriot Act)
  • The best of your people will be taken to work for him and his cause
  • We all become slaves once again to the New World Pharaoh
Man gave up his "God Given Rights" when he turned his back on the Creator and started ruling for himself. The rights we read of in Scriptures never really made into the Declaration of Independence: just words and not deeds resulted in the death of faith.

What Does 'being saved' Mean

Have we been misled by the doctrine of 'eternal security'?
Have we been mesmerized by the chanting of 'once saved always saved'?
It has been taught that  "... eternal security is that work of God in which He guarantees that the gift of salvation once received is possessed forever and cannot be lost."
If we take the time to read Scriptures for ourselves we learn that this is not the case.  We cannot continue to 'sin' and expect that our salvation won't be affected. We continue to have personal responsibility in our relationship with YHWH as per coming into covenant with Him.
Hebrews 3:13 - But look deeply into yourselves all the days, during the day which is called today and let none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have part with the Mashiyach, if we endure in this firm confidence, from the beginning to the end, as it is said, Today if you will hear his voice, and do not harden your hearts, to anger him.
Jude 1:5 - Let me remind you that Elohim, after once rescuing (saving) the people from Egypt, again destroyed them who did not believe.

Guess that kind of flies in the face of 'once saved always saved', don't it?

So what is salvation and what are we saved from?
Acts 2:38 tells us in order to be saved (from the curse of eternal death) that we are to repent (return to Yah, turning away from our old sin nature) and be immersed (ritually cleansed) so that we may receive the Ruach haKodesh (The Set Apart Spirit of YHWH). 

This goes all the way back to Exodus and Deuteronomy in regards to choosing between the Blessing and the Curse:
​Exodus 15:26 - If you will diligently listen to the voice of ​YHWH your Elohim, and do that which is right in ​H​is eyes, and give ear to ​H​is commandments and keep all ​H​is statutes, He will put none of the diseases on you that He put on the Egyptians, (for I am ​Yahweh​, your healer).

Deuteronomy 11:26 - See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you listen to the commandments of YHWH your Elohim, which I am commanding you today; and the curse, if you do not listen to the commandments of YHWH your Elohim, but turn aside from the way which I am commanding you today, by following other gods which you have not known.

Deuteronomy 30:15 - See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and adversity. For I command you this day to love Yahweh your Elohim, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His laws, and His rules, that you may thrive and increase, and that He may bless you... But if your heart turns away and you give no heed, and are lured into the worship and service of other gods, I declare to you this day that you shall certainly perish... I have put before you life and death, blessing and curse. Chose life by loving Yahweh Elohim, heeding His commands and holding fast to Him. For thereby you shall have life and shall long endure...

Deuteronomy 30:19- I have put before you life and death, blessing and curse. Choose life if you and your offspring would live by loving Yahweh Elohim, heeding His commands, and holding fast to Him. For thereby you shall have life and long endure.
In these verses we are being told we have a choice to make between the blessing and the curse = eternal life in His Kingdom or eternal death spent in Fire Lake. If we choose life we place our Creator first and foremost in our lives and teach our children well.  Because of our love for our heavenly Father we obey His Instructions and in return we receive the blessing.  That sounds like 'salvation' to me and we achieve it by Faith - committing ourselves to our Creator.

We are not automatically 'filled with the spirit' nor 'baptized in the spirit' but are made ready to receive it. We prepare for the indwelling of Yah's Set Apart Spirit by spending every day in the Word of Elohim, reading and studying and learning Scriptures. Even the apostles who were taught by Y'shua face to face for three years were not filled with the Spirit until 50 days after the death of Y'shua - specifically ten days after the resurrected Son of Elohim was taken up and placed at the Right hand of the Father (Shavuot). Being baptized by a preacher in any church does not make one 'saved' but does show an outward appearance of one's desire to accept Y'shua and walk the Path of Righteousness from then on forward.  If we fall for temptations afterwards, we will loose our footing and salvation becomes a mute point. Being tested by difficult times is for the sake of our refinement.  

Deuteronomy 8: You shall faithfully observe all the Instruction that I enjoin upon you today, that you may thrive and increase and be able to posses the land that YHWH Elohim promised on oath to your fathers. Remember the long way that YHWH your Elohim has made you travel in the wilderness these past forty years, that He might test you by hardships to learn what was in your hearts: whether you would keep His commandments or not.... Romans 2:5 - But because of your hard and unrepentant heart, you are storing up wrath against yourself for the day of wrath, when Yah's righteous judgment will be revealed.
If we turn away from our old sinful ways and return to the Creator, learn His Teachings and be immersed symbolizing our intentions, then we are ready to receive the gift of His Set Apart Spirit. If we make the first move then Yah will follow up, giving us His unmerited love and favor. It is a process, not an end-all. We never stop learning until the day He restores all things! His Spirit continues to reveal and comfort us with His Truth providing we continue on His Path of Righteousness. He is our salvation through the testimony of His Son. 
Today means today for anyone in any day who reads this and chooses Life, and begins to obey the Instructions given by our Creator. The blessing or the curse is the result of our choice in this lifetime. People ask why there is so much pain and suffering in the world and why bad things seem to happen to good people. Read those above quoted Scripture verses again. We made the choice to obey the one who spoke creation into existence and we are expected to follow through, abiding by the terms of the covenant.

Hebrews 13:13- Look deeply into yourselves all the days, during the day which is called today; and let none of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Scriptures as a Doorway

I was having a conversation with a friend who gave an analogy of Scriptures "as a door we can open and see the wonder of everything" Yah created. I think that is a beautiful way to visualize it. Yet my friend does not think everything can be found in Scriptures, as in finding answers to our questions.  She sees Yah as a "mystic one".  That concerned me a bit at first but I think it is because we had different definitions of the word 'mystic'. To me it points directly to pagan mysticism. My friend clarified what she meant by asking if we can comprehend Him, as if to say He is mysterious.

Our Creator gave us His Instructions - His Owner's Manual - so that we would have everything we need to live according to His plan.  The first five books of the old testament contain His directions, decision making guidelines, decrees, instructions and teachings so we would lack for nothing and includes examples so that we wouldn't make the same mistakes as our ancestors did.  Every answer can be found in Scriptures - and it isn't always a fast and easy task. It's akin to searching for YHWH as if looking for treasure.  I have done over 200 studies in the past eleven years and every one has its foundation in Scriptures which eventually revealed the truth via His Set Apart Spirit.  I am convinced we, as Set Apart believers, can find the answers to all of our questions in Scriptures.

The Written Word has replaced the Urim and Thummin as our instrument of decision.

There are many things we have learned about our Creator, much revealed by His Son. There are dimensions of Yah we simply cannot comprehend as mere mortals in this day and age.  This does not mean we are not to search Him out.  In asking questions and continuing our study of Scriptures we are in essence searching for Yah and His treasure trove of answers.  We should see a mirror of ourselves in Job when he said to YHWH: I know that You can do everything, that nothing you propose is impossible for You. Who (am I) who obscures counsel without knowledge? Indeed, I spoke without understanding of things beyond me, which I did not know. Hear me now and I will speak; I will ask and You will inform me. I had heard You with my ears, but now I see You with my eyes; therefore, I recant and relent, being but dust and ashes."

We are still in the learning stages of our life and we need each other.  The gifts of the Spirit are different for each of us, but finite, and work together as a whole. In 1 Corinthians 12 we read: There are different gifts, but the same Spirit. There are different ministries, but the same Elohim. There are different ways of working, but the same Elohim works all things in all men.
Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in various (languages), and to still another the interpretation of (languages).  All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, who apportions them to each one as He determines.
The body is a unit, though it is comprised of many parts. And although its parts are many, they all form one body. So it is with Y'shua. For in one Spirit we were all immersed into one body, (regardless of bloodline or nationality), slave or free, and we were all given one Spirit to drink.

🔶🔷🔸🔸🔷🔶

Scriptures are a door and not everyone who opens it will see the path that lies ahead. Some who see the path will choose not to follow it.  In John 10 Y'shua says that he is the door and all who enter through him shall be saved. In Revelation 3:20  Y'shua says ~ I have been standing at the door, and I will knock: if any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him and dine with him and he with me.

Keep Searching for the Truth

How do we know if we are descended from the tribes of Jacob (The Sheep) or grafted in (Those Other Sheep) and does it matter whether we know or not? Is it pride and arrogance that gets in the way and drives one to the point of submitting their DNA without question? Really, we should just live according to Yah's Instructions in order to be part of His gathering at the sounding of the 7th shofar. Y'shua will make us all one flock, one people of one faith with one Master because His Father pays no attention to our background, genetic or otherwise, once we come into covenant with Him. 
John 10:11 (Y'shua says) ~ I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd lays down his life for the flock. But a hireling who is not the shepherd nor are the sheep his, when he sees a wolf coming he leaves the sheep and flees. And the wolf comes and plunders and scatters the flock. 
John 10:14 ~ I am the Good Shepherd and I know those who are mine. And those who are mine know me. 
John 10:16 ~ And I also have other sheep, those who were not from this sheepfold. And also them, it is necessary for me to bring them and they will hear my voice and all the flocks will become one. And there will be One Shepherd. 

YHWH's Chosen People are the descendants of Abraham through Isaac and Jacob along with those who have been adopted in.


Ask questions. Continue to search out the truth and always take what you hear back to YHWH by reading Scriptures in order to discern the truth of all things through His Set Apart Spirit.

The End from the Beginning

Many of us have heard this said:
"He has told us the end from the beginning..."

Can that statement be found in Scripture? 
Yes indeed:

Isaiah 46:9 ~ Bear in mind what happened of old; for I am YHWH Elohim and there is none else, I am divine and there is none like Me. I foretell the end from the beginning, and from the start, things that had not occurred. I say My plan shall be fulfilled; I will do all I have purposed.

This got me to wondering if I could find clues pertaining to what might be the 'strong delusion' that comes our way as part of the end times scenario. A delusion is defined as:
  • something that is falsely believed or propagated
  • a persistent false psychotic belief regarding the self or persons or objects outside the self that is maintained despite indisputable evidence to the contrary; also : the abnormal state marked by such beliefs
This delusion will be such that even folks like you and me might fall for it. That's pretty serious, to think that our faith could be challenged in such a way. So lets go back to the beginning to see a glimpse of the end, shall we?

In Genesis chapters one and two we read that Yah sees that everything about His creation is good. Specific mention is made in Chapter 2 verse 9 of the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of knowledge of good and bad. Yah tells Adam that he may eat from every tree in the garden except for the tree of knowledge of good and bad because as soon as he would eat of it he will die.  

We know the story well. That shrewd serpent said to the woman: Did God really say you shall not eat of any tree of the garden?  She explains to the serpent that they may eat of the other trees of the garden, but it is only the tree in the middle of the garden that God said not eat of or touch it, lest we die.  (Notice here that she added to the Word of God saying 'or touch it').  The serpent caused her to doubt the command of YHWH Elohim when it further influenced her by offering assurance that she wouldn't die but even God knew that if they ate of this tree their eyes would be opened and they would be like the divine beings who know good and bad. Well, their eyes were opened and they saw their own nakedness and tried to hide themselves from the Creator.

After Yahweh learned of their disobedience, He cursed the serpent, made child bearing for the woman a painful experience and cursed the ground so the man has to work for a living.  He said, "Now that man has become like one of us, knowing good and bad, what if he should also eat from the tree of life and live forever!" So he banished them from the Garden and stationed cherubim along with the fiery ever-turning sword to guard the way to the tree of life.
  • Shrewd: mischievous; abusive; dangerous; marked by clever awareness
  • Dupe: to misguide or mislead; delude; string along
  • Doubt: to call into question the truth of; to be uncertain; lack confidence in
  • Deception: the act of causing someone to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid
The example in The Garden is of one doubting the command given by the Creator and causing another to do the same, so would it be fair to apply that tactic to us? I would say Yes because that exact thing has been going on for years: Christians believe The Law has been nailed to the cross in effect making Torah, Yah's Instructions in Righteousness, null and void and teaching others this same false doctrine. They have called into question the truth of our Father and caused people to be uncertain of what is written in Scriptures.  Many Christians teach that the New Testament is for new believers.

Do we read Scriptures and take them to heart or do we ignore the truth, treat some of it as story-telling and teach our ideas to others? Are we truly trying to abide by His Commandments or making excuses, teaching others it's alright because we're all on different parts of the path.  When the serpent steps up and asks us 'Did God really say...' we better know the answer. Our Faith should be so that no doubt would be able to enter. For example, remember when Y'shua was seen walking on the water and called Peter to come out of the boat to him. Peter did but once he realized what was happening he began to sink.  Y'shua says "Oh you of little faith! Why did you doubt me?" (Matthew 14:30)

If the Pope asked the world Did God really say those things recorded in our Bibles, and then offered an alternative ear-tickling version, how many people do you think would believe him? I can see it already happening in today's world with various religious leaders and politicians joining together with the Pope, calling all beliefs the same under the New World Religion (World Council of Churches). He believes it doesn't matter which 'god' one believes in because they are all just different names for the same God and all roads lead to heaven...  This Is A Lie and could be The Lie.

Folks who do not love the truth will fall for this lie, and perish.

Doubting YHWH Elohim and His Son will be the chink in our armor which will give way, letting that strong delusion cause us to falter - if it is possible. We might want to consider the book of Job as well. It was YHWH who removed His hedge of protection from Job so that Satan could test him, trying to make a liar out of Yah. Job had everything a good life could consist of and lost it all but never once blamed YHWH or doubted His Word. He was later restored to a better life than what he had lost. We, too, will inherit a better life if we endure these days trusting our Creator to do as He said He would.

We have some trying times ahead, my friends, and our faith, our commitment to YHWH Elohim will see us through.

Never doubt the Commandments given us by our Creator as they were given for our benefit; abide by them best you can, have the testimony of His Son and continue to love and search out the truth.
2 Thessalonians 2:9
For the coming of that Evil One is the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders and with all the deceptiveness of iniquity in them that perish because they did not receive the love of the truth by which they might have life. Therefore Elohim will send upon them the strength of a deception that they may believe a lie, and that they all may be condemned who believe not the truth but have pleasure in iniquity. 
2 Thessalonians 2:7
For the mystery of the Evil One already begins to be operative and only if that which now hinders will be taken from the midst, then at length will that Evil One be revealed who Master Y'shua will consume by the breath of his mouth and will bring to nothing by the visibility of his coming.
Matthew 24:24 ~ False Messiahs and lying prophets will arise and they will produce signs and great wonders in order to deceive if possible even the chosen... I have told you beforehand.... 
Mark 13:21 ~ If at that time a man should say to you Look! Here is the Messiah! or Look! There he is! do not believe him for false Messiahs and lying prophets will give signs and wonders and will deceive even the elect if it is possible. But you take heed - I have told you everything beforehand.

We have been told the end from the beginning so we would know what to expect and be able to discern the truth from the lies.  Those of us alive during the final years of the end times scenario will see things that will blow our minds and pierce our hearts. Remember to stand strong in the Faith once delivered to the Set Apart believers. By this we shall know that YHWH Elohim most certainly Did Say.... 


Jude 1:3 ~ While I take all pains to write to you of our common life, it is needful for me to write to you, encouraging you to maintain a conflict for the faith which was once delivered to the Set Apart believers.
What does that mean, the faith once delivered, and why do we need to fight for it?  Keep reading:
Jude 1:4 ~ For some have obtained entrance who, from the beginning, were registered beforehand under this condemnation: wicked men who pervert the grace of Elohim to impurity and deny Him who is the only MarYah (Master YHWH), and our Master, Y'shua the Mashiyach.
