The Two
Witnesses
-THE END OF THE WORLD?
If
you will look at what the Savior said was prophesied for this time
period, you will see that an end is included. The prophets have told
the religions that the world is exactly what they have made it to be..
-THE TWO WITNESSES. In
almost all the prophecies referring to the Last Days, Yahweh inspired
His prophets of old to write about Two Witnesses. We must understand
what a witness is, in order to understand that Yahweh's Two Witnesses
have fulfilled the prophecies written about them for these Last Days...
-THE DEDICATION
OF THE WORK OF YAHWEH BY THE TWO WITNESSES. In
these Last Days, The House of Yahweh by the Two Witnesses whom Yahweh
ordained, was dedicated to Yahweh. Thereby, initiating the renewal of
the worship of Yahweh in the world...
-THE SURNAMING
OF YISRAYL. Yes,
Yahweh Himself wrote that it was He who did this...
- A PEACEFUL SOLUTION TO
BUILDING THE NEXT TEMPLE IN
JERUSALEM. Yechetzqyah
was inspired to write this prophecy over 600 years before the Temple
was destroyed in 70 c.e. He was inspired to write for us who live in
these days -- these troublous days, these same troublous times that the
other inspired prophets proclaimed...

You need to read
this article thoroughly,
and compare it with the Holy Scripture.
IT'S
VITAL TO
YOUR SALVATION!
My
Dear Friends,
The one
spoken of
as the Savior said the following:
Mattithyah
24:14—
And
this message of the
Kingdom will be
preached to all the world by the one who bears witness to all nations;
and then the end will come.
If
you
look
at all that He said was prophesied for this time period, you will see
that an
end is included. Also, notice everything else that is included. First
and
foremost, He warns us of the deception for this time period.
Mattithyah
24:4-5—
4 Yahshua
answered, and said
to them: Be on
guard, so that no man deceives you;
5 For
many will
come against My
Name, saying: I am anointed to preach salvation!—and
will deceive
many.
From
other Scriptures,
we see that every single point must be applied to a prophecy or we may
not
foretell the prophecy correctly. With that in mind, notice the
following
Scriptures.
Mattithyah
24:21-22—
21
For then will be great tribulation, such as has not
come to pass since
the beginning of the world to this time—no, nor ever will be.
22
And unless those days were shortened, there would no flesh be saved;
but for
the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.
The
reference
work from which we translate the word great shows
that it can and should
have been translated greatest.
Notice, in the same verse we see,
tribulation such as has not come to pass nor ever will be again. So,
this one
will be the greatest.
The
word tribulation
is used to describe the calamities of war; it means distress,
anguish,
persecution, suffer, affliction, due to the pressure or circumstances.
The
words deceived and deception
also carry the meaning of greatest,
as do all the calamities mentioned in this chapter.
With
this
information, we see that the things the Savior showed us in this
chapter will
be the worst ever, and so will the deception. This coincides with the
other
prophecies written for this same time period.
Mattithyah
24:24—
For
there will arise false messiahs and false
prophets who
will show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible,
they would deceive the very elect.
The
Savior is
showing, as do the prophets and apostles, that sin causes tribulation
and
anguish. Adultery breeds STDs which enter various body parts,
diminishing their
ability to function properly, causing what we call sickness and
disease, which
are referred to as curses in the inspired Scriptures. STDs also enter
the mind
and cause what is referred to as Babylon or confusion.
In
this
time
period, we will face the very worst confusion, caused by adultery,
fornication,
sodomy and bestiality. These are all brought to our lives by deceiving
religions that rebel against Yahweh's Laws.
Compare
the
following Scriptures.
Revelation
2:22,
Amplified Bible—
Take
note: I will throw her on a bed [of anguish], and those who commit
adultery
with her [her paramours] I will bring down to pressing distress and
severe
affliction, unless they turn away their minds from conduct [such as]
hers and repent
of their doings.
Revelation
2:22—
Behold,
she will be struck with deadly diseases, along
with those who
commit adultery with her. They will suffer
greatly, unless they
repent of their practices.
Revelation
18:1-8—
1 And
after these
things I
saw another
malak come down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was
enlightened with His glory.
2 And
he cried
mightily with
a strong
voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is
fallen, and is become the habitation of demons,
and the hold of every foul spirit,
and a cage of
every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all
nations
have drunk of the
cup of her destruction because
of her fornication, and the kings
of the earth have committed fornication with her,
and the merchants of
the earth have grown rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And
I heard
another voice
from heaven,
saying: Come out of her, My people, so that you do not partake in her
sins, and
so that you do not receive of her plagues,
5 For
her sins
have reached unto heaven,
and Yahweh has remembered her transgressions against His Laws!
6 It
will be
rendered to her
just as she
rendered to you, for she will be repaid double according to her works!
In the
cup which she has mixed, it will be mixed for her double!
7 In
the measure
that she
glorified
herself, and lived luxuriously, so in that measure she will be given
torment
and sorrow! For she says in her heart: I sit a queen, and am no widow,
and will
see no sorrow.
8 Therefore,
her plagues
will come
in one daydeath,
and mourning, and famine;
and she will be utterly burned with fire; for just is
Father
Yahweh Who judges her.
Revelation
18:1-8, Amplified Bible—
1 THEN
I saw
another angel
descending from
heaven, possessing great authority and the earth was illuminated with
his
radiance and splendor.
2 And
he shouted
with a
mighty voice, She
is fallen! Mighty Babylon is fallen! She has become a resort and
dwelling place
for demons, a dungeon haunted by every loathsome spirit, and abode for
every
filthy and detestable bird.
3 For
all nations
have drunk
the wine of
her passionate unchastity, and the rulers and leaders of the earth have
joined
with her in committing fornication (idolatry), and the businessmen of
the earth
have become rich with the wealth of her excessive luxury and
wantonness.
4 I then
heard
another voice from
heaven saying, Come out from her, my people, so that you may not share
in her
sins, neither participate in her plagues.
5 For
her
iniquities (her
crimes and
transgressions) are piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered
her
wickedness and [her] crimes [and calls them up for settlement].
6 Repay
to her
what she herself has
paid [to others] and double [her doom] in accordance with what she has
done.
Mix a double portion for her in the cup she mixed [for others].
7 To
the degree
that she
glorified herself
and reveled in her wantonness [living deliciously and luxuriously], to
that
measure impose on her torment and anguish and tears and mourning. Since
in her
heart she boasts, I am not a widow; as a queen [on a throne] I sit, and
I shall
never see suffering or experience sorrow.
8 So
shall her
plagues
(afflictions,
calamities come thick upon her in a single day, pestilence and anguish
and
sorrow and famine; and she shall be utterly consumed (burned up with
fire), for
mighty is the Lord God who judges her.
I
know
that
all the major religions want you to believe that they are the chosen
ones of
the Creator. But remember that the Book of Revelation was written to
show Yahweh's
servants the prophecies concerning the things that must come to pass.
Revelation
1:1—
The
Revelation of Yahshua Messiah, which Yahweh gave to Him, to show
His
servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent
and signified
it through His malak to His servant Yahchanan:
One
of
the
major religions, in writing against the Last Days Work of Yahweh,
quoted the
Savior in an attempt to try to persuade you not to believe the
prophecies or
Yahweh's warning. They are hoping that you will not come out from their
religions which openly rebel and were even prophesied to change
Yahweh's Laws
and fight against the Saints.
Daniyl
7:21,
25—
21
I
beheld, and thesame horn made war
with the saints, and
prevailed against them;
25
And he will speak great words against Yahweh, and
will wear out; mentally
attack to cause to fall away, the saints of Yahweh, and
think to change
the Feasts, holy days,
and Laws; and they will be
given into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time.
History
shows
the religions that changed Yahweh's Sabbaths. We made copies of various
reference sources and put them in our books, The Mark of the
Beast,
Volumes 1 & 2; The
Sabbath, Every Question Answered;
and in our free
booklet, Which
Day Is The Sabbath?, for anyone who
would like to check
them out.
Daniyl's
prophecy
plainly shows that this religious system would fight against Yahweh's
holy
people and change Yahweh's Sabbaths, Feast Days and Laws. Whether they
admit to
being the ones who actually brought forth the proclamation causing
Yahweh's
Laws to be changed matters not. The fact that they still refuse to keep
Yahweh's Laws shows they are in rebellion and they condone the same
sins.
The
fact
also
remains that sin is the breaking of Yahweh's Laws and those who
continue to
break Yahweh's Laws do not belong to Yahweh or to the Savior. Notice to
whom
they do belong according to the Savior and the inspired apostles'
writings. The
Savior spoke the following:
Mattithyah
5:17-18—
17
Do not even think that I have come to destroy the
Law or the Prophets; I
have not come to destroy them, but to establish them.
18
For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth pass away, one
yodh—the
smallest of the letters—will in no way pass from the Law,
until all things are
perfected.
Revelation
22:12-14—
12
And behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with
Me, to give every man
according as his work will be.
13
I
am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 Blessed
are those who keep His (the Heavenly Father's) Laws,
that they may have
right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the
city.
Mattithyah
7:15-18—
15
Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but
inwardly they
are ravening wolves.
16
You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns,
or figs
from thistles?
17
Likewise, every righteous tree brings forth righteous fruit;
but a
tree of evil brings forth fruit of iniquity.
18
A
righteous tree cannot bring forth fruit of iniquity, nor can a
tree of
evil bring forth fruits of righteousness.
Now
notice
what the Savior said would be done with those who change or fail to
keep
Yahweh's Laws of righteousness.
Mattithyah
7:19—
Every
tree which does not bring forth righteous fruit is cut down,
and cast
into the fire.
These
words
are plain. There is no mistaking that those whose fruits are sin,
iniquity (verse
17), will be burned (verse 19). Continue
to read in Mattithyah
Chapter 7.
Mattithyah
7:21-23—
21
Not
everyone who says to Me; Teacher! Teacher! will enter into the Kingdom
of
Yahweh, but only he who does the will of My Father
Who is in heaven.
22
Many will say to Me in that day; Teacher! Teacher! Have we not
prophesied in
Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and in Your Name performed
many
wonderful works?
23
But then I will declare to them; I never knew you. Get away
from Me, you
who transgress against Yahweh's Law!
The
word iniquity
means not
subject to Yahweh's Laws.
It
seems
that the
only time the major religions quote the Savior's words is when they are
trying
to deceive. If they truly believed what the Savior said, they would be
repenting of breaking Yahweh's Laws. Instead, they rebel against them
daily and
teach their followers to do the same. Notice also what the Savior said
in:
Revelation
18:1-5—
1 And
after these
things I
saw another
malak come down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was
enlightened with His glory.
2 And
he cried
mightily with
a strong
voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is
fallen, and is become thehabitation of demons,
and the hold of every foul spirit,
and a cage of
every unclean and hateful bird.
3 For all
nations
have drunk of the
cup of her destruction because of her fornication,
and the kings
of the earth have committed fornication with her,
and the merchants of
the earth have grown rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
4 And
I heard
another voice
from heaven,
saying: Come out of her, My people, so that you do
not partake in her
sins, and so that you do not receive of her plagues,
5 For her
sins
have reached unto
heaven, and Yahweh has remembered her transgressions against
His Laws!
Thayer's
Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament shows the word
translated Babylon is allegorically,
of Rome as the
most corrupt seat
of idolatry.
Revelation
18:2,
6-8—
2 And
he cried
mightily with
a strong
voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is
fallen, and is become thehabitation of demons,
and the hold of every foul spirit,
and a cage of
every unclean and hateful bird.
6 It
will be
rendered to her
just as she
rendered to you, for she will be repaid double according to her works!
In the
cup which she has mixed, it will be mixed for her double!
7 In
the measure
that she
glorified
herself, and lived luxuriously, so in that measure she will be given
torment
and sorrow! For she says in her heart: I sit a queen, and am no widow,
and will
see no sorrow.
8 Therefore,
her plagues
will come
in one day--death, and
mourning, and famine; and she will be
utterly burned with fire; for just is Father Yahweh
Who judges her.
Of
course,
they will deny this prophecy refers to them but notice, verses
4 and 5
show they are practicing sin and causing plagues by their teachings.
Their
teachings do not include the Laws of Yahweh. Breaking the Laws of
Yahweh is
sin, which they openly do.
I
Yahchanan
3:4—
Whoever
commits sin, transgresses also the Law; for sin is thetransgression
of the Law.
Revelation
18:4-5—
4 And
I heard
another voice
from heaven,
saying: Come out of her, My people, so that you do
not partake in her sins,
and so that you do not receive of her plagues,
5 For her
sins
have reached unto
heaven, and Yahweh has remembered her iniquities!
Please
notice
the Savior's words in describing this major religion.
Revelation
17:9,
18—
9 And
here is the
mind which
has wisdom:
The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
18
And the woman whom you saw, is that great city
which reigns over the
kings of the earth.
Of
course,
they will still deny this prophecy is speaking of them, even though
that city
was built on the seven hills of Rome.
The Basic
Everyday Encyclopedia page 451 gives us the following
information
concerning these seven mountains (hills).
Rome
(the "Eternal City"), ...
Traditionally founded 753 BC by Romulus and
Remus, built
on 7 hills...
Compton's
Pictured Encyclopedia, 1948, Volume 12, page 144, also tells
us about the
city of seven hills.
...the
"City
of Seven Hills." ...the
Capitoline, Palatine, Aventine,
Quirinal,
Viminal, Esquiline, and Caelian hills. ...the seat of
the
papacy, the head
of the great Roman Catholic Church.
Compare
the
following Scriptures.
Daniyl
7:21-22,
25—
21
I
beheld, and thesame horn made war with the
saints, and prevailed
against them;
22
Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of
Yahweh;
and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdoms.
25
And he will speak great words against
Yahweh, and will wear out; mentally
attack to cause to fall away, the saints of Yahweh, and
think to change
the Feasts, holy days,
and Laws; and they will be
given into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time.
Isayah
24:1-6—
1 Before
Yahweh's very
eyes, the
earth is made empty and it is made waste; the face of it is perverted
and its
inhabitants scattered abroad;
2 And
it will be:
as with
the people, so
with the priest; as with the servant, so with his owner; as with the
maid, so
with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the
lender,
so with the borrower; as with him who takes usury, so with him who
gives usury
to him:
3 The
land will be
utterly
emptied and
utterly plundered, for it has come to pass that this judgment has been
pronounced.
4 The
earth mourns
and fades
away, the
world mourns and fades away, and the haughty people of the earth
languish.
5 The
earth also
is defiled
because of the
inhabitants of it, because they have transgressed the Laws,
changed
the ordinance, and broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Because
of this,
the curse
has devoured
the earth, and they who dwell therein are desolate; therefore, the
inhabitants
of the earth are burned, and few men left.
They
will
also deny that it is their teaching of rebellion that has devoured the
whole
earth and is causing the confusion, disease epidemics, and hatred we
see in the
whole world today. But they still will not repent of sin.
They
quote the Savior
only when they can use part of His teaching to deceive. In a recent
commentary
on the end of the world, it was stated that "the end" spoken of by
the Savior is as follows:
"Just
read the last line of the same Gospel passage: "But of that day or
hour,
no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the
Father." If neither the angels nor the Son (insofar as he is man and
not
insofar as he is God) know the day or hour of the end, is it possible
that a
member of some sect or some religious fanatic would know and be
authorized to
announce it?
Jesus
says:
"This generation will not pass away until all these things have taken
place." Is he mistaken? No, it was the world that was known to his
hearers
that passed away, the Jewish world. It tragically passed away with the
destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70."
Please
notice, this priest is saying that the destruction of the Temple is
what the
Savior was speaking of as the end. Read those statements carefully;
then I want
to show the deception this man is using, because you need to be warned
by
Yahshua and prepare for and avoid what is coming upon this world.
Yahshua
spoke of the
Temple at Jerusalem and said it would be destroyed, He was then asked
about the
end of the age and the sign of His coming. In answering, the Savior
spoke of
the prophecy of Daniyl and said when you see these things…
so, we
know this is something we can see when it occurs.
Mattithyah
24:15—
Therefore, when
you will see The
Lord of Heaven; the
Abomination of Desolation, spoken
of by Daniyl the prophet, standing in the Holy Place—whoever
reads, let him
understand—
Daniyl's
prophecy shows that the end of the age would be the end of the
governments and
religions of and by the people who rebel against the Laws of Yahweh.
Notice
this for yourself in:
Daniyl
7:11-12—
11
I
beheld, then, because of the voice of the great words which the horn
spoke; I
beheld until the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to
the
burning flame.
12
As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their governments taken
away;
yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
These
"governments" are given to a burning that Daniyl
later shows
is the worst tribulation ever.
Daniyl
12:1—
And
at that time will come that great, perfect government based upon
perfect Laws,
that will save the children of Your people; and there will be a time
of
trouble, such as never was since there was a nation
to that time.
And at that time Your people will be saved, everyone who will be found
written
in the Book of life.
This
is
the same
burning, nuclear burning, and greatest
time of trouble that the
Savior spoke of in:
Mattithyah
24:21-22, 29—
21
For then will be great tribulation, such as has not
come to pass since
the beginning of the world to this time—no, nor ever will be.
22
And unless those days were shortened, there would no flesh be saved;
but for
the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.
29 Immediately, but
after the tribulation
of those
days will the sun be
darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars
will fall
from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Daniyl
also
reveals that this same spokesman (religion) or horn is the one leading
the
governments and making war against Yahweh's Saints—those who
keep the whole Law
of Yahweh.
Daniyl
7:21-22,
25—
21
I
beheld, and thesame horn made war with the
saints, and prevailed
against them;
22
Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of
Yahweh;
and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdoms.
25
And he will speak great words against Yahweh, and
will wear out; mentally
attack to cause to fall away, the saints of Yahweh, and
think to change the
Feasts, holy days, and Laws; and they will be given
into his hand until a
time, and times, and the dividing of time.
I
would
ask
that the Catholic priest who attacked the Last Days' Work of Yahweh and
the
Last Days warning that is now going out to all the world, to just look
at all
that the Savior said would take place in this time period, that we are
seeing
right now.
The
greatest tribulation ever.
Mattithyah
24:14—
And
this message of the Kingdom will be preached to all the world
by the one
who bears witness to all nations; and then the end will come.
Mattithyah
24:21-22—
21
For then will be great tribulation, such as has not
come to pass since
the beginning of the world to this time—no, nor
ever will be.
22
And unless those days were shortened, there would no flesh be
saved; but
for the elect's sake, those days will be shortened.
The
greatest epidemics ever.
Mattithyah
24:7—
...there
will be
famines, and pestilences; disease
epidemics,...
The
greatest hatred ever.
Mattithyah
24:7—
For
nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom...
The
destruction
of the Temple had nothing to do with the great tribulation Yahshua
spoke of,
which is given also in Revelation for this time period when the Quartet
(United
States, Russia, United Nations and European Union) has been formed.
Notice the
final
revelation of the Savior.
Revelation
1:1—
The
Revelation of Yahshua Messiah, which Yahweh gave to Him, to show His
servants
things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified
it
through His malak to His servant Yahchanan:
This
prophecy
was given in 96 A.D. That was over twenty years after the Temple was
destroyed.
The Savior is speaking of the time of His coming and the end of the age
of
man's governments of and by the people.
Revelation
22:12-14—
12
And behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with
Me, to give every man
according as his work will be.
13
I
am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14
Blessed are those who keep His Laws,
that they may have right to
the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Notice,
the
following Scriptures are speaking of the first resurrection of the
dead, the
same time period of the great tribulation that darkens the sun (Mattithyah
24:29-30).
Revelation
20:1-6—
1 And
I saw a
malak come
down from heaven,
having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand.
2 And
he laid hold
on the
dragon, that old
serpent, who is the Devil, and Satan, and bound her a thousand
years-
3 And
cast her
into the
bottomless pit, and
shut her up, and set a seal upon her, that she should deceive the
nations no
more, until the thousand years should be finished; and after that she
must be
loosed a little season.
4 And
I saw
thrones, and
they sat upon
them, and judgment was given unto them. And I saw
the souls of those who
were beheaded for their witness of Yahshua and for the word of Yahweh; the
Law and the Prophets, and who had not worshiped the
beast, nor his
likeness, neither had received his mark
in their foreheads nor
upon their hands; andthey lived and reigned
with the Messiah a
thousand years-
5 But
the rest of
the dead
did not live
again until the thousand years were finished. This is
the first
resurrection-
6 Blessed
and holy is he who has
part in the first resurrection; on such the second death has no power,
but they
will be priests of Yahweh and of the Messiah, and will reign with Him a
thousand years.
Remember Revelation
22:14, those who reign with Yahshua will not be those
fighting against
Yahweh's Laws but those keeping Yahweh's Laws only. Now remember the
following:
Mattithyah
24:29-30—
29
Immediately, but after the tribulation
of those days will the sun
be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will
fall from
heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30
And then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven; and then
will all
those of the earth who are hostile to and have
rejected Yahweh—and who
have turned their hearts to gods (elohim)—will mourn, for
they will see the Son
of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Remember
Mattithyah
24:29-30 and Revelation 20:1-6 are
speaking of the same time
period—the time of the first resurrection and the greatest
tribulation ever.
This is
how it will
take place, starting in and around the great River Euphrates.
That's
exactly where these prophecies are being fulfilled today, as I write.
Revelation
9:13-18—
13
And the sixth malak sounded, and I heard a voice from the four horns of
the
golden altar which is before Yahweh,
14
Saying to the sixth malak which had the trumpet: Loose the
four messengers
who are bound in the great river Euphrates!
15
And the four messengers were loosed, which were
prepared for an hour,
and a day, and a moon; month, and a year, in order
to slay the third
part of men.
16
And the number of the army of the horsemen was two
hundred thousand
thousand; for I heard the number of them.
17
And in my vision, I saw the horses and those who sat upon them like
this:
They had breastplates of fire; yellow,
and of jacinth;
blue, and brimstone; red, and the heads
of the horses were as
the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire, and smoke, and
brimstone.
18
By these three were the third part of men killed: by the fire, and by
the
smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.
Verse
15
shows the four messengers, the Quartet, must be loosed, which means
they were
being held back. So where is the prophecy that shows they are being
held back?
Revelation
6:7-8,
12-13—
7 And
when He had
opened the
fourth seal, I
heard the voice of the fourth beast say: Come and see.
8 And
I looked,
and behold,
a pale horse.
And the name of him who sat upon it was Death; and Sheol; the
grave, followed
with him. And power was given to them over a fourth part of
the earth,
to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with
pestilence—the same under
the authority of the beast of the earth.
12
And I looked when He had opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a
great
earthquake; and thesun became black
as sackcloth of hair,
and the moon became as blood.
13
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, as a
fig tree drops its
untimely figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
This
is
speaking of the same time period of war and tribulation that the Savior
spoke
of in:
Mattithyah
24:29—
Immediately, but
after
the tribulation of those days will the sun
be darkened,
and the moon will not give her light, and the stars will fall
from heaven,
and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
If
you
will
notice in both prophecies, the sun is darkened and
the stars fall from
heaven. These are the same wars that are held back until a certain Work
of
Yahweh can be finished, which is shown to us in:
Mattithyah
24:14—
And
this message of the Kingdom will be preached
to all the world by
the one who bears witness to all nations; and then the end
will come.
Revelation
7:1-3—
1 And
after these
things I
saw four
messengers standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four
winds of
the earth, so that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the
sea, nor
on any tree.
2 And
I saw
another malak
ascending from
the east, having the seal of the living Father; and he cried with a
loud voice
to the four malakim, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the
sea,
3 Saying: Hurt
not
the earth,
neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed
the servants of
our Father in their foreheads.
That
Work
includes bringing out a number of people, a calling to come out of the
sinning,
wicked religions of man. Yahweh's Work is being prepared at this time
to bring
a people out of the great tribulation.
Revelation
17:9,
18—
9 And
here is the
mind which
has wisdom:
The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits.
18
And the woman whom you saw, is that great city which reigns over the
kings of
the earth.
Revelation
18:1-5—
1 And
after these
things I
saw another
malak come down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was
enlightened with His glory.
2 And
he cried
mightily with
a strong voice,
saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become
thehabitation
of demons, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every
unclean and
hateful bird.
3 For all
nations
have drunk of the
cup of her destruction because of her fornication,
and the kings
of the earth have committed fornication
with her, and the
merchants of the earth have grown rich through the abundance of her
delicacies.
4 And
I heard
another voice
from heaven,
saying: Come out of her, My people, so that you do
not partake in her
sins, and so that you do not receive of her plagues,
5 For her
sins
have reached unto
heaven, and Yahweh has remembered her transgressions
against His Laws!
Now
look
at Revelation
7 which shows the Quartet being held back and a people being
prepared.
Revelation
7:1-4—
1 And
after these
things I
saw four
messengers standing on the four corners of the earth, holding
the
four winds of the earth, so that the wind should not blow on the earth,
nor on
the sea, nor on any tree.
2 And
I saw
another malak
ascending from
the east, having the seal of the living Father; and he cried with a
loud voice
to the four messengers, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the
sea,
3 Saying:
Hurt not
the
earth, neither the
sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our Father in
their
foreheads.
4 And
I heard the
number of
those who were
sealed: And there were sealed 144,000 of all the
tribes of the children
of Israyl.
Revelation
7:9-10, 14—
9 After
this I
looked, and
behold, a great
multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, tribes,
peoples, and
tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with
white
robes, and with palm branches; taught to keep Yahweh's Feasts,
in their
hands;
10
And crying with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our Father Who sits
upon the
throne, and unto the Lamb!
14
And I said to him: Ruler, you know. And he said to me: These are the
ones who come
out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes,
and made themselves
white in the blood of the Lamb.
This
multitude will come out of the great tribulation
that will, at the
end, darken the sun. That's
the same tribulation the Savior
was speaking of in Mattithyah 24. After that
tribulation the sign of the
Son of Man will be seen.
Mattithyah
24:29-30—
29
Immediately, but after the tribulation
of those days will the sun
be darkened, and the moon will not give her light, and the
stars will fall
from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
30
And then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven;
and then will
all those of the earth who are hostile to and have
rejected Yahweh—and
who have turned their hearts to gods (elohim)—mourn, for they
will see the Son
of Man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.
Revelation
6:12-17—
12
And I looked when He had opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a
great
earthquake; and thesun became black
as sackcloth of hair,
and the moon became as blood.
13
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, as a fig tree drops its
untimely
figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind.
14
And the heaven departed like a scroll when it is rolled together; and
every
mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and
the chief
captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, sought
protection for themselves in their governments
and in the assemblies
and the houses of their gods (elohim);
16
And said to the houses of their gods (elohim) and the assemblies: Fall
on us,
and protect us from the face of Him Who sits on the throne, and from
the
judgment of the Lamb!
17
For the great day of His judgment has come, and who will be able to
stand?
These
wars that
had been held back started September 12, 2006 after the
Quartet was loosed
to use nuclear wars that will kill a third part of man over a
fourth part
of the earth in and around the great River Euphrates.
September 12, 2006
was the conception of the nuclear baby that will take nine months to
develop
and will be delivered June 12, 2007.
All of
these
prophecies are referring to the same time period—a time when
Yahweh would have
a Work, and the results of the rebellious religions lead the nations
into sin.
After
this
nine month period of trouble that has already started in and around the
great
River Euphrates, the religions that lead the kings of the earth still
will not
repent.
Revelation
9:20-21—
20
And the rest of the men who were not killed by
these plagues, still did
not repent of the works of their hands, that they should not
worship
demons, and gods (elohim, teraphim) of gold, and silver, and brass, and
stone,
and of wood: which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk;
21 Neither
did they repent of their murders, nor of
their sorceries, nor
of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
So
the
same
cause will continue. We see the cause in:
Isayah
24:1-6—
1 Before
Yahweh's very
eyes, the
earth is made empty and it is made waste; the face of it is perverted
and its
inhabitants scattered abroad;
2 And
it will be: as
with the people, so with the priest; as
with the servant, so with
his
owner; as with the
maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as
with the
lender, so with the borrower; as with him who takes usury, so with him
who
gives usury to him:
3 The
land will be
utterly
emptied and
utterly plundered, for it has come to pass that this judgment has been
pronounced.
4 The
earth mourns
and fades away,
the world mourns and fades away, and the haughty people of the earth
languish.
5 The earth
also
is defiled because
of the inhabitants of it, because they have transgressed the
Laws, changed
the ordinance, and broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Because
of this,
the curse
has
devoured the earth, and they who dwell therein are desolate;
therefore, the
inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
Today,
scientists
and environmentalists agree with Isayah 24:1-6.
Certain doctors also
agree, and will tell you, if you ask, that adultery, fornication,
sodomy and
bestiality cause defilement, sickness, disease and disease epidemics.
The
cause will
continue and the results will worsen. American and Russian scientists
have
proven that nuclear wars will darken the sun. The troubles have already
started
in and around the great River Euphrates. Anyone can see that these
things are
taking place. They're broadcast on the news, besides being written
about in
prophecy. But the wars will not end with a third part of men killed in
and
around the great River Euphrates, over that fourth part of the earth.
The
cause will
remain because the religions will not repent
and start teaching
peace. There are 613 perfect Laws inspired by Yahweh. Those Laws would
bring
complete peace, if taught and followed diligently.
Doing
away with
these Laws, as the religions have done, has caused sickness, disease,
and
defilement of the earth and mankind. From sickness comes confusion.
Babylon
means confusion.
To this
major
religion who brought rebellion to all the earth, Yahshua the Savior
says:
Revelation
17:1-2—
1 And
there came
one of the seven
malakim who had the seven bowls, and talked with me, saying to me:
Come, I will
show you the sentence of the great whore that sits
upon many waters,
2 With
whom the
kings of the earth
have committed fornication; practiced
idolatry: godworship (the
worship of elohim), and the inhabitants of the earth have
been made drunk
with the wine of her fornication.
The
word kings
comes from the Greek word basileus
which means any
foundation
of power and can refer to an emperor, Herod the tetrarch, any and all
leaders
who have a nation's authority behind them. Remember, Revelation
9:20
says their Gods, of which there are many, are the works of their own
hands. But
those referred to in this chapter of the inspired prophecies are
weapons of
war.
The
other Gods
referred to in Revelation 9:20-21 lead people to
commit fornication.
These Gods can enter the home by way of television, teaching
uncontrolled
illegal lust, seduction, fornication, adultery, sodomy and bestiality.
These
Gods kill from within, causing STDs which bring anguish, pain, and
suffering—tribulation,
and in this time period, the greatest tribulation.
Sorceries,
another of the Gods named, is word #5331 from #5332, pharmakeia,
in Strong's
Greek Dictionary and means medication,
pharmacy, a
druggist, pharmacist.
Revelation
17:3-6—
3 So
he carried me
away in
the Spirit into
the midst of godworshipers (worshipers of Elohim);
and I saw a woman
sitting on a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having
seven
heads and ten horns.
4 And
the woman
was arrayed
in purple and
scarlet color, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls,
having a
golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of
her
fornication.
5 And
upon her
head was a name
written: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS
AND OF
THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And
I saw the
woman drunk
with the blood
of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yahshua. And when I
saw
her, I wondered with great astonishment.
This
is
exactly the moral condition that we see in the world today. Not only do
we see
fornication, adultery, uncontrolled illegal lust, sodomy and
bestiality, we see
46 million babies being murdered each year by what mankind prefers to
call a
woman's right of choice or abortion.
Notice
how the
Savior described this evil and adulterous generation.
Mattithyah
24:37—
But
just as the days of Noah were, so will also be the
coming of the Son of
Man.
Notice
how
today's time period compares with the days of Noah.
Genesis
6:5,
11-12—
5 Then
Yahweh saw
that the wickedness
of
man was great in the earth, and every
intent of the thoughts of man's heart was
only evil,
continually.
11
The earth also was corrupt before Yahweh, and the
earth was lawless, filled with violence.
12
So Yahweh looked upon the earth, and indeed it was corrupt; for all
flesh had
corrupted their way on the earth.
Revelation
9:20-21—
20
And the rest of the men who were not killed by these plagues, still did
not
repent of the works of their hands, that they should not
worship demons,
and gods (elohim, teraphim) of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone,
and of
wood: which can neither see, nor hear, nor walk;
21
Neither did they repent of their murders, nor of
their sorceries,
nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
The
Prophet
Isayah told the religions that the world is exactly what they have made
it to
be, by changing and breaking the Laws of Yahweh.
This
evil and
adulterous generation will not repent, so the wars and sickness will
continue.
Four months after the nuclear baby has killed a third part of man over
a fourth
part of the earth, the sun will be darkened and four-fifths of the
earth's
population will be dead.
Those
who are
left alive, who come out of the great tribulation, will be keeping the
very
Laws and Sabbaths that the religions refuse to keep at this time. They
will be
keeping the very Laws done away with by this major religion. These Laws
will
bring peace to what is left of the nations, according to the Prophet
Isayah.
Isayah
2:4—
He
will judge among the nations. Many people will be rebuked. They will
beat their
swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks; nation will
not
lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war
anymore.
Revelation
7:9,
14-15—
9 After
this I
looked, and
behold, a great
multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, tribes,
peoples, and
tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white
robes, and with palm branches; taught
to keep Yahweh's Feasts,
in their hands;
14
And I said to him: Ruler, you know. And he said to me: These are the
ones who
come out of the great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and
made
themselves white in the blood of the Lamb.
15
Therefore, they are before the throne of Yahweh, and serve Him day and
night in
His House. And He Who sits on the throne will dwell among them.
Verse
9
shows
white robes which represent the righteousness of the saints.
Deuteronomy
6:1,
25—
1 Now
these are
the Laws,
the statutes, and
the judgments which Yahweh your Father has commanded me to teach you:
so that
you may observe them in the land you are crossing over to possess;
25
And it will be OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, if we observe
to do all of this Law
before Yahweh our Father, as He has commanded us.
Revelation
7:9—
After
this I looked, and behold, a great multitude, which
no man could number,
of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the
throne and
before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and with palm branches; taught
to
keep Yahweh's Feasts, in their hands;
Notice
what
the palm branches represent.
Leviticus
23:39-40—
39
So on the Fifteenth Day of the Seventh Moon, when you have gathered in
the
fruit of the land, you must keep the Feast unto Yahweh
for seven days.
On the first day there shall be a Sabbath, and on
the eighth day a
Sabbath.
40
On the day before, you are to take choice fruit from the trees; pomegranates,
and palm branches, leafy branches, and
willows of the brook; and you
shall rejoice in front of Yahweh your Father for seven days.
Nehemyah
8:15—
So
they issued the following proclamation, and circulated it throughout
all their
cities and in Yerusalem: Go out to the hill country and bring in olive
branches, pine branches, myrtle branches, palm branches,
and branches of
other leafy trees to build booths, just as it is written.
Zecharyah
14:16—
Then
it will come to pass that everyone who survives of all the nations
which came
against The House of Yahweh at Abel and
the priest who teaches
peace, will also go up from year to year to worship their Heavenly
Father,
Yahweh of hosts, by keeping the Feasts at
The House of Yahweh.
Remember
the
Savior's words in:
Mattithyah
24:14—
And
this message of the Kingdom will be preached to all the world by the
one who
bears witness to all nations; and then the end will come.
To
the
Catholic Priest who tried to discredit Yahweh's Work, since you quoted
and seem
to believe some of the Savior's words, I believe you should take stock
in the
rest of His writings as well. The Savior said this message would be
preached.
The
answer to
your question, if indeed you do want an answer, is given by the Savior.
I see
there is great danger for you if you fail to accept the Savior's
answer. Let's
first look at your question. You said...
"Just
read the last line of the same Gospel passage: "But of that day or
hour,
no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the
Father." If
neither the angels nor the Son (insofar as he is
man and
not insofar as he is God) know the day or hour of the end, is it
possible that
a member of some sect or some religious fanatic would know and be
authorized to
announce it?"
The
Savior
gave you part of the answer in Mattithyah 24:14,
showing that this
message would be taken to all nations as a witness. This message, as
you just
read, is about the nuclear wars that will darken the sun and kill
four-fifths
of the earth's population. It's not just the message of the Temple
being
destroyed.
The
Book
of
Revelation was not written until 96 A.D., twenty-six years after the
Temple was
destroyed, and it also shows this same great tribulation and the One
authorizing the foretelling of these events. Notice the following
Scriptures.
Revelation
11:1-2—
1 And
there was
given me a
reed like a
measuring rod. And the malak stood, saying: Rise, and measure
the Temple of
Yahweh, and the altar, and its confines; where they worship
within.
2 But
the court
which is
outside the Temple
leave out, and measure it not; for it is given to the Gentiles. And the
holy
city they will tread under foot three and one-half years.
History
shows
that the Temple has been built twice, enlarged once and destroyed twice
but it
has never been built without the outer court. Since the Temple was
destroyed in
70 A.D. and the Book of Revelation was not given until 96 A.D., Revelation
Chapter 11 cannot be speaking of the same Temple.
In this
chapter,
we see that Yahweh gave Yahshua the prophecies to instruct someone
after 96
A.D. to measure the Temple, but this time, leave out the outer court.
In
this
month's
issue of The
Prophetic Word magazine we have
included an article about
this Temple and the plans to rebuild the Temple and why the outer court
is left
out. I urge you to read it. Study this prophecy, it's great and
permitted by Great
Yahweh and the Savior you now question.
But
notice,
someone is given the commission to show how the Temple will be rebuilt.
That
someone is shown to you by the Savior in the very next verses, and your
question is answered.
Revelation
11:3-4—
3 And
I will give
to My Two Witnesses
to perform their prophetic offices, and they will foretell events about
the
three and one-half years, those cast about with darkness.
4 These
are, as it
were, the
two olive
trees, and, as it were, the two lamps of the seven lamp
lampstand,
ministering for the Father in the earth.
This
same
issue contains an article about these Two Witnesses, who are brothers,
and
their work assigned by Yahweh. Study it closely, it's a great prophecy
that is
99% fulfilled at this time.
Now I
would like
to show you more of the Savior's words.
The life
of the
Savior was prophesied, as is the Last Days' Work of Yahweh. In fact,
there is
no Work of Yahweh other than that prophesied. All others come by their
own
authority and are not of Yahweh.
Amosyah
3:6-7—
6 Will
a trumpet
be blown in
the city, and
the people not be afraid? Will iniquity fostered by religious
imposters be
taking place in a city, and Yahweh not also have a righteous work
there?
7 Most
assuredly
Father Yahweh
will have
no work, other than the work that He has prophesied
in advance by
His servants the prophets.
The
One
called the Savior was foretold of in prophecy before He was born.
Notice His
words.
Yahchanan
5:31,
36—
31
If I alone testify in My behalf, My testimony is
not valid.
36
But I have testimony even greater than that
of Yahchanan: the
works which the Father has given Me to finish—the same works
that I do—they
testify on My behalf that the Father has sent Me;
Remember
what
the Savior said about false religions.
Mattithyah
7:15-18—
15
Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's
clothing, but
inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16
You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns,
or figs
from thistles?
17
Likewise,
every righteous tree brings forth righteous fruit; but a tree of evil
brings
forth fruit of iniquity.
18
A
righteous tree cannot bring forth fruit of iniquity, nor can a
tree of
evil bring forth fruits of righteousness.
The
Savior
fulfilled the prophecies written about Him. Therefore, His Works
testified
concerning His authority. An evil man could not have fulfilled the
righteous
Work of living without sin.
The Work
of
Yahweh in these Last Days will be the same, according to the prophecies
written
about Yahweh's chosen servant and the body of people he teaches and the
Work
they are doing. Now, let's look at:
Yahchanan
5:37-39, 46, 43—
37
And the Father Himself, Who has sent Me, testifies on My
behalf.
You have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape;
38
Nor do you have His word dwelling in you; you reject the Law
and the
Prophets, because Whom He has sent, Him you do not believe.
39
Search the Scriptures; for in them you think you
have eternal life—and
these are they which testify of Me.
46
For had you believed Mosheh, you would
have believed Me, for
he wrote about Me.
43
I
have come in My Father's Name, but you do not follow Me. Let another
come in
his own name; him you will follow in order to obey!
The
same
holds true for the Last Days' Work of Yahweh. If you do not believe all
that
the prophets have spoken, you will not be a part of Yahweh's Last Days'
Work.
Luke
24:25,
27—
25
Then He said to them: O fools, and slow of heart to
believe all
that the prophets have spoken!
27
And beginning at Mosheh; the Law, and
all the Prophets, He
expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning
Himself.
Yahchanan
6:29—
Yahshua
answered, and said to them: This is the work of Yahweh:
that you believe
in Him Whom He has sent.
Remember
this, you just read the words of the Savior. If you don't believe His
words,
you should not quote them. In so doing, you pretend to believe and He
will
surely hold you guilty if you do not obey.
You also
need to
compare the Savior's words with those of the inspired apostles.
Hebrews
4:8-10,
4, 11—
8 Now
Yahshua
caused them to
rest in
obedience to the Law, spoken of by Yahweh in a day previously.
9 Therefore,
there
remains
the keeping of
the Sabbath to the people of Yahweh,
10
For he who has entered into His rest has also ceased from his own
works, as
Yahweh did from His.
4 For
He spoke in
a certain
place of the
Seventh Day, in this way: And Yahweh rested the
Seventh Day from all His
works.
11
Therefore,
let us be zealous to enter into that rest, so that no one may fall
after the
same example of unbelief.
Hebrews
10: 21,
16, 26-27—
21
And having a High Priest over The House of Yahweh:
16
This is the covenant that I will renew with them after those days, says
Yahweh:
I will put My Laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write
them;
26
For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the
truth,
there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,
27
But a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation
which will
devour the adversaries.
The
Savior
and His apostles kept Yahweh's holy Sabbaths, just like Yahweh, by
resting
on the seventh day, not the first day,
which you switched. I know it
was not you, personally, who changed the Laws but if you don't repent,
you
become as guilty as those who did. I suggest that you read our books, The
Lost Faith of the Apostles and Prophets and The End,
they are full
of truth.
Just
as
the
prophets foretold the Work of Yahshua the Messiah, Savior and now High
Priest
over The House of Yahweh, they also foretold of The House of Yahweh,
the Last
Days' Work, that was prophesied to be, and was actually, established in
this
generation.
Before
you read
the following articles, I want to make you aware of the Savior's words
once
again, concerning the place to worship. There is a reason for this.
Yahweh
chooses where to place His Name. This is the Law:
Deuteronomy
12:4-8—
4
You
must not worship Yahweh your Father in such ways; Yahweh your
Father is not a god (el).
5 But you are to seek the habitation of your Father; The
House of
Yahweh --the place which Yahweh your Father shall choose out
of all your
tribes to establish His Name --and there you must go.
6 There you must bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices,
your tithes, and special gifts you have vowed to give, your
freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herds and flocks.
7 There, in front of Yahweh your Father,
you and your families shall eat, and you shall rejoice in all that you
have put your hand to do, because Yahweh your Father has blessed you.
8 You must not at all do as we are doing
here this day --every man doing whatever is right
in his own eyes--
This
is
the
instruction from Yahshua.
Mattithyah
4:4—
But
He answered, and said; It is written: Man does not live by bread alone,
but by
every word that proceeds out of the mouth of Yahweh.
Deuteronomy
6:1,
7, 25—
1 Now
these are
the Laws,
the statutes, and
the judgments which Yahweh your Father has commanded me to teach you:
so that
you may observe them in the land you are crossing over to possess;
7 And
you must
teach them
diligently to
your children, and talk about them when you sit in your house, and when
you
walk on the road, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
25
And it will be our righteousness, if we
observe to do all of this
Law before Yahweh our Father, as He has commanded us.
If
all
religions would repent and start obeying Deuteronomy 6:1, 7,
25, the
wars would stop. We would all have righteous Laws that we could agree
on.
That's peace!
Yahshua
knew the
prophecies. He knew He would be killed. He knew His disciples would do
a work
to preserve Book Two of The Book of Yahweh for the
Last Days' Work. He
knew they would be run out of Jerusalem and go back to Galilee,
specifically to
Abilene, Israyl to do this Work. They would then be killed and The
House of
Yahweh would disappear from memory. He also knew that Yahweh's Name
would not
be used again until what He called the last generation. Therefore, He
said the
following to His disciples.
Mattithyah
10:16—
Behold,
I send you out like sheep in the midst of wolves;
therefore, be as wise
as serpents, and as harmless as doves.
What
do
wolves
do to sheep? They injure and kill them. We have records of the deaths
of eleven
of the twelve disciples.
Yahchanan,
who
recorded the Book of Revelation, was taken as a prisoner to the Isle of
Patmos;
the exact circumstances of his death are unknown to this day.
The
House of Yahweh
became unknown to all nations for 1,900 years. But prophecy showed it
would not
be unknown forever. Yahweh said, "In the Last Days I
will establish
My House." The Savior called the Last Days, the last
generation.
The Savior also said that Yahweh's House would not be in the land of
Israyl.
Yahchanan
4:21—
Yahshua
said to her: Woman, believe Me: The hour comes when you will worship
the Father neither on this mountain, nor
in
Yerusalem.
If
not in
Yahdah or Yerusalem, where then would it be? Yahweh said that it would
be
established in the Last Days, in the top nation of all nations. One
prophet was
inspired to write that it would be in a Babylonish land not yet
established.
Another prophet said that Yahweh's House would teach Yahweh's Laws and
as a
result of that, about two billion people would come out of the great
tribulation and would beat their weapons of war into farming equipment
and they
would learn war no more. Another prophet said to remember the Laws of
Mosheh, because
they will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts
of the
children to the fathers. Another said, hold back the wars of the great
tribulation until Yahweh's people are sealed. Another said, "seal the
Law
among My disciples."
Isayah
8:16,
20—
16
Bind up the Prophecy; seal the Law among My disciples.
20
To the Law and to the Prophecy: if they speak not according to this
word, it
is because there is no light in them.
All
of
these
prophecies, and many more, were inspired by Yahweh Who testifies to the
authority that He gave His House.
I noticed
in your
commentary that you used the following Scriptures.
Hebrews
10:11-12—
11
And every priest stands daily, ministering and offering again and again
the
same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;
12
But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat
down at
the right hand of Yahweh,
I
draw
your
attention a little further down to:
Hebrews
10:16—
This
is the covenant that I will renew with them after those days, says
Yahweh: I
will put My Laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will
write them.
Hebrews
10:16 shows
the reason Yahshua holds the position of being at the right hand of
Yahweh,
renewing Yahweh's wonderful covenant once again in the re-established
House of
Yahweh.
Hebrews
10:21—
And having
a High Priest over The House of Yahweh:
Compare
that
to:
Revelation
3:7-13—
7 And
to the
priests of the
congregation of
The House of Yahweh at Abel, write: These things says He Who is holy,
He Who is
true, He Who has the key of David, He Who opens and no man shuts, and
shuts and
no man opens:
8 I
know
your works. Behold, I
have set before you an open door, and no
man can shut it; for
you have a little strength, and have kept My word, and have not
denied My
Name.
9 Behold,
I give
out of
those of the
assemblage of the accuser--who
preach themselves to be those
who worship Yahweh, and they are not, but they attempt to deceive by
falsehood—behold, I will appoint them for the purpose of
worshiping in the
presence of your footstool, and they will understand that I loved you.
10
Because you have kept My Laws and the words of My Prophets,
which purify
you, I also willprotect you from the
time of the sentence of
death, the carrying out of the sentence of death, oppression,
affliction, wrong, suffering,
violence, outrage, and
rape,
which will come upon all the world, to test (prove a point to)
those who
dwell upon the earth.
11
Behold, I come quickly! Hold fast that which you
have, that no man take your
crown.
12
He who overcomes, I will make a pillar in The House of My Father, and
he will
never go out of it. And I will write upon him the Name of My Father,
and the
Name of the Yahweh Shammah which comes down out of heaven from My
Father, newly
named.
13
He who hears Yahweh's call and obeys it, let him
learn the Word of
Yahweh that is taught to the called out ones of The House of Yahweh.
I
remind
you
again that the Book of Revelation was not written until 96 A.D. and the
Temple
was destroyed in 70 A.D.; yet, the great tribulation is shown to be in
the
future.
Yahshua
holds, as
the first begotten Son of Yahweh, this right hand position. He is and
always
will be the highest, under Yahweh. We, the re-established House of
Yahweh, are
taking this Message of the Kingdom of Yahweh to all the world in this
time of
the end, known to all the prophets as the last time (a period of
3½ years).
We have,
set by
Yahweh through our High Priest Yahshua, an open door to Yahshua for the
purpose
of accomplishing this Work.
You also
used the
words of the Prophet Daniyl in your commentary:
Daniyl
12:1-3—
1 And at
that time
will come that
great, perfect government based upon perfect Laws, that will save the
children
of Your people; and there will be a time of trouble,
such as never was
since there was a nation to that time. And at that time your people
will be
saved, everyone who will be found written in the Book of life.
2 And
many of
those who
sleep in the dust
of the earth will awake; some to everlasting life, and some to shame and
everlasting contempt.
3 And
those who
are wise
will shine as the
brightness of the heavens; and those who turn many to
righteousness, as
the stars forever and ever.
I
beg you
to
carefully read verse 3. These verses are speaking
of the great
tribulation that Yahshua spoke of, and verse 3 is
speaking of turning
people to righteousness. Righteousness is obedience to Yahweh's Laws.
Deuteronomy
6:25—
And
it will be our righteousness, if we observe to do all of this Law
before Yahweh
our Father, as He has commanded us.
The
Savior
showed the same thing.
Mattithyah
19:17—
But
He said to him: Why do you question Me about righteousness? There is
only One
Who is the standard of perfection, and that is Yahweh; so if
you would enter
into life, keep the Laws of Yahweh.
These
righteous Laws are the same Laws that you have changed and are still
rebelling
against to this very day. You say you have the right to change them but
the
inspired Words of Yahweh say that you do not. Therefore the
curses,
spoken by Yahshua the Savior, are upon you and all of your
followers.
Yaaqob
4:12—
There
is One Lawgiver, Who is able to save and to
destroy—who are you who
condemns another?
Revelation
22:18-19—
18
For
I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this Book:
If any
man will add to these things, it will come to pass that he will add to
himself
the plagues that are written in this Book:
19
And if any man will take away from the words of the Book of
this prophecy,
it will come to pass that he will take away his part out of The Book of
Life,
and out of Yahweh Shammah, and from
the things which are written
in this Book.
Notice
again
while you are in this book.
Revelation
22:12-16—
12
And behold, I come quickly, and My reward is with
Me, to give every man
according as his work will be.
13
I
am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
14 Blessed
are those who keep His Laws, that they may have
right to the tree of
life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
15
For outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and
whoremongers, and murderers,
and worshipers of gods (elohim) and everyone who professes to
love, yet
practices breaking the Law.
16
I, Yahshua, have sent My malak to testify to you these things in the
congregations of The House of Yahweh. I am the root and the offspring
of David, and the Bright and Morning Star.
The
words
in Daniyl
12:1-3 are speaking to The House of Yahweh. They were sealed
for this time
period, the time of the end, but only
until the time of the
end.
Daniyl
12:4—
But
you, O Daniyl, shut up the words, and seal the book to the time
of the end;
many will run to and fro, and knowledge will be increased.
Now
notice, for
the time of the end, what Daniyl saw.
Daniyl
12:5—
Then
I, Daniyl, looked; and behold, there stood two others,
one on this side
of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the
river.
Who
are
these
two? They are two brothers called Two
Witnesses in Isayah 44
and Revelation 11. Notice from where their
authority comes.
Revelation
11:1-4—
1 And
there was
given me a
reed like a
measuring rod. And the malak stood, saying: Rise, and measure the
Temple of
Yahweh, and the altar, and its confines; where they worship
within.
2 But
the court
which is
outside the Temple
leave out, and measure it not; for it is given to the Gentiles. And the
holy
city they will tread under foot three and one-half years.
3 And I
will give
to My Two Witnesses
to perform their prophetic offices, and they will foretell events about
the
three and one-half years, those cast about with darkness.
4 These
are, as it
were, the
two olive
trees, and, as it were, the two lamps of the seven lamp
lampstand,
ministering for the Father in the earth.
Now
notice
what Daniyl said they would be doing.
Daniyl
12:6-10—
6 And one
said
to the man clothed in
linen, who on that future day is teaching: How
long will it be to the
end of these wonders?
7 Then
I heard the
man
clothed in linen,
who on that future day is teaching, when he held up his right hand and
his left
hand toward heaven, and vowed by Him Who lives forever, that: It
will be for
a time, times, and a half,
when Yahweh will have
accomplished pouring out His power through His holy people, all these things
will be finished.
8 So
I heard, but
I did not
understand.
Then I said; O my ruler, what will be the
end of these things?
9 But
he said: Go
your way,
Daniyl, for the
words are closed up and sealed until the
time of the end.
10
Many will be purified, and made white, and tried; tested; but
the wicked
will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand,
but the wise
will understand.
Now
to
your
question once again.
"Just read the last
line of the same Gospel passage: "But of that day or hour, no one
knows,
neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." If
neither the angels nor the Son (insofar as he is man and not insofar as
he is
God) know the day or hour of the end, is it possible that a member of
some sect
or some religious fanatic would know and be authorized to announce it?"
Your
answer,
straight from Yahweh through Yahshua, is yes! Yes, with Yahweh all
things are
possible. In fact, it is prophesied in your Bible, which is said better
in The
Book of Yahweh.
May
Yahweh
bless your understanding.

true love, in
Yahshua's Name,

The
Two
Witnesses
In
almost all the
prophecies referring to the Last Days, Yahweh inspired His prophets of
old to
write about Two Witnesses. We must understand what a witness is, in
order to
understand that Yahweh's Two Witnesses have
fulfilled the prophecies written
about them for these Last Days.
First,
let us
understand that the only way one could possibly know for certain that
Yahshua
was the true Messiah during the time He walked the earth, was the fact
that he
fulfilled the prophecies spoken and written about
the true Messiah.
Today,
let us
understand that the only way one can possibly know for certain that two
particular men are Yahweh's Two Witnesses, is the fact that they must
also
fulfill the prophecies spoken and written about them.
From Webster's
Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, we find the following
definition of the
word witness.
1wit-ness
n [ME witnesse, fr. OE witnes
knowledge, testimony,
witness, fr. wit intelligence] 1:
attestation of a fact or event: testimony 2:
one
that
gives evidence; specif: one who
testifies in a cause or before a judicial tribunal 3:
one asked to
be present at a transaction so as to be able to testify to its having
taken
place 4: one who has personal knowledge of
something 5 a: something
serving as evidence or proof: sign
2witness
vt 1: to testify to: attest
2: to act as legal witness
of 3: to furnish proof of: betoken
4 a: to have
personal or direct cognizance of: see for oneself
The
Laws
of
Yahweh, written in Deuteronomy 17:6 and Deuteronomy
19:15,
require two witnesses to establish legal evidence.
Yahshua Messiah also
used that precedent when He gave instructions to the called out ones.
Mattithyah
18:16—
But
if he will not listen, then take one or two more
with you, so that in
the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
Reading
from The
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Volume Four, page
1086, we find
the following information.
WITNESS.
A noun
and verb used by the RSV almost two hundred times in reference to attestation
of a fact or event by a human, divine being or by an
inanimate object.
The practice of
requiring two or
three witnesses to establish evidence is enjoined in
Dt. 19:15
(cf. 17:6; Mt. 18:16; Jn. 8:17; 2 Cor. 13:1; 1 Tim. 5:19; He. 10:28).
From The
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Volume Three, page
558, we find
that the number two is the number associated with the theme of witness.
B. Two. This number is
associated both with unity
and with
division or
contrast. Examples of division are the alternatives implied
in Elijah's
taunt, "How long will you go limping with two different opinions?"
(1K. 18:21). There are the "two ways" of Mt. 7:13f. (cf. Mt. 6:24;
21:28-32).
As a
symbol of unity. two
describes the unity of man and woman (Gen. 2:20, 24), the pairs of
animals
entering the ark (7:8f.), the two tablets of the law at Mt. Sinai (Ex.
32:15),
and the pairs of disciples sent out by Christ (Mk. 6:7; Lk. 10:1). In
Gen.
22:6, 8 Abraham and Isaac went "both of them together" in a poignant
reference to their unity in spite of the coming sacrifice. A
separate and
common use of the number two arises out of the Hebrew legal tradition
that
there must be two witnesses to contribute adequate evidence in a court
proceeding (Nu. 35:30; Dt. 17:6; 19:15). Thus two
is the number
associated with the theme of witness. Several other NT.
references indicate
this need for two witnesses (Mt. 18:16; 2 Cor.
13:1; 1 Tim. 5:19). The
two unnamed witnesses in Rev. 11:3-12 seem to represent the Law and the
Prophets...
The
fact
is,
there must, according to Scripture, be Two Witnesses for
these Last
Days, just as there were in the days of Yahchanan and Yahshua Messiah,
Mosheh
and Aaron, and Isayah and Micahyah.
The
Prophet
Isayah had much to say about the Last Days and about the group of
people who
would be the seed and offspring of the Two
Witnesses. But not only this,
the Prophet Isayah also gave us the names of the Two
Witnesses.
Isayah
44:1-2—
1
Yet now hear, O Yaaqob My servant, and Yisrayl whom I have chosen,
2
This is what Yahweh says, Who made you and formed you from the womb,
Who will
help you: Do not be afraid, Yaaqob My servant and Yeshurun; beloved
Yisrayl, whom I haveappointed.
The
Scriptures show the fact that Yahweh is speaking to two
people, but
only of one womb. The word
translated womb in this
Scripture is word #990, beten, in Strong's
Hebrew Dictionary which
means to be
hollow; the belly, especially the womb.
990. beten, from an unused root prob.
mean. to be hollow;
the belly, espec. the womb;
also the bosom
or body of
anything:—belly, body, + as they be born, + within, womb.
This
shows
us, that the Two Witnesses are brothers from
the same womb.
In
corroboration,
the Prophet Isayah used the same Hebrew word when speaking of Yisrayl
who was
called from the womb of his mother, the womb-beten
of a woman.
Isayah
49:1—
Listen,
O isles; countries, to me! Listen, you peoples,
from afar! Yahweh has
called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother
He has made
mention of my name.
Some
have
thought that the word womb referred to an origination. By comparing Isayah
44:1-2 to Isayah 49:1, we can be certain
that theory is completely
wrong. As these two Scriptures plainly show, the
womb is from a
woman—the bowels of the mother of Yisrayl.
The word Yeshurun
in Isayah 44:2 is an alternate name for Yisrayl. The
International
Standard Bible Encyclopedia, Volume Two, page 1033, tells us
the Septuagint
Version renders Yisrayl's name in Isayah 44:2
as beloved Yisrayl.
JESHURUN
[Heb.-'upright
one'; Dt.
32:15; 33:5, 26; Isa.
44:2]. The LXX translates
it "the
beloved one"...and
in Isa. 44:2
adds
"Israel"; Vulg. has Lat. dilectus
in Dt.
32:15,
elsewhere rectissiumus;
Aq., Symm., Theod. have "upright." Most modern scholars regard it as
a hypocorism
from the name Israel,
of which the
first three consonants
are almost the same. In Nu. 23:10 the term "the righteous"
is
supposed to contain a similar reference. The name occurs only in
poetry. Divine election
is
indicated in Isa. 44:2,
where the LXX
renders the name
"beloved Israel." In the NT the term "beloved"
was used both of Christ (Mt. 3:17; Mk. 1:11; Eph.
1:6, etc.) and
of
the primitive church (Col.
3:12; 1 Thess. 1:4; Jude 1:
etc.), again
implying
divine election to spiritual
mission in the world.
The
third fact
is, Yahweh has said specifically in
these two Scriptures
that these
two men are His servants whom He has chosen. Therefore, it is Yahweh
Himself
Who has chosen His Two Witnesses.
We
find
the
prophecy which shows how these two men will attain their names
according
to Yahweh's prophecies. Read the following from
the King James
Version.
Isaiah
44:5, KJV—
One
shall say, I am the Lord's; and another
shall call himself
by the name of jacob; and another shall subscribe with
his hand
unto the Lord, and surname himself by the name of
Israel.
Reading
over
this Scripture one might be led to believe that there are three
individuals,
who are being spoken about in this Scripture, rather than two, which
has misled
many people. The two words which are translated another in
this
Scripture have been mistranslated.
Both
of
the words
translated another in Isayah 44:5 in
the King James Version
are from word #2088 in Strong's Hebrew Dictionary,
which is the word zeh,
and is a masculine demonstrative pronoun which means the following.
2088.
zeh a prim.
word; the masc. demonst. pron., this
or that:—he,
x hence, x here, it (-self), x now, x of him, the one.
. . the
other,
x than the other, (x out of) the (self) same, such
(an one) that, these,
this (hath, man), on
this side. .
. on
that side, x
thus, very,
which. Comp. 2063, 2090, 2097, 2098.
Reading Isayah
44:5 from The New International Version Interlinear
Hebrew-English Old
Testament, Volume Four, page 90, we find these two Hebrew
words translated zeh
(another) in this Scripture.
However, The
Lexicon In Veteris Testamenti Libros, by Koehler and
Baumgartner, page 251,
shows that when this masculine demonstrative pronoun zeh
is repeated in
a sentence, as it most assuredly is in Isayah 44:5, the
first word
translated zeh properly refers to this,
the one, and the second zeh
properly refers to that,
the other.
All
one
has
to do to come to the true translation of this Scripture is insert the
correct
words "this, the one and that, the other," in place of the incorrect
word "another."
Isayah
44:5—
One
shall say, I am Yahweh's; and this-the one shall
call himself by the
name of Jacob; and that-the other shall subscribe
with his hand unto
Yahweh, and surname himself by the name of Israyl.
Therefore,
The
Book of Yahweh, The Holy Scriptures, is correctly translated.
Isayah
44:5—
One
will say; I belong to Yahweh, and the same will
call himself with the
name of Yaaqob. The other will
subscribe with his hand, and
write; I belong to Yahweh, and surname himself with the name of Yisrayl.
Call:
The word
translated call
in Isayah 44:5
is word #7121, from
#7122, in Strong's
Hebrew Dictionary,
and means the
following.
7121.qârâ;
a prim. root [rather ident. with 7122 through the idea of accosting
a person
met]; to call out to (i.e. prop. address
by name...(give) name,
preach, (make) proclaim (-ation), pronounce, publish, read, renowned,
say.
7122. qârâ.
a prim. root; to encounter, whether accidentally or
in a hostile
manner:—befall, (by) chance, (cause to) come (upon), fall
out, happen, meet.
The
one
who
calls himself Yaaqob will not be legally named Yaaqob. The etymology of
this
Hebrew word translated call, actually shows that
this man will call
himself Yaaqob, after a hostile encounter and under duress or force.
Because
the prophecy of the inspired Scriptures does not lie, we know that one
of
Yahweh's Two Witnesses will call himself by the name Yaaqob after
a
hostile encounter and under duress or force.
Subscribe: According
to Yahweh's prophecy, one of Yahweh's Two
Witnesses
will
subscribe with his hand to Yahweh and surname himself by the name of
Yisrayl.
The
word translated subscribe
in Isayah
44:5, is the
word #3789, kathab,
in Strong's
Hebrew
Dictionary,
and means the following.
3789. kâthab.
a prim. root, to grave; by impl. to write
(describe,
inscribe, prescribe,
subscribe):—describe, record, prescribe,
subscribe, write (-ing, -ten).
The
definition of this word literally means to write.
There are other vital
meanings to this word, which have prophetic significance.
Prescribe: We find the
following definition of the word prescribe,
from The
Reader's Digest Illustrated Encyclopedic Dictionary, Volume
Two, page 1338.
pre.scribe
v. -scribed, -scribing, -scribes. __tr. 1. To set
down as a rule or guide; ordain; enjoin. To
establish rules, laws, or
directions... 3. Law.
To assert a right or title to
something on the grounds of prescription. [Middle English prescriben, to hold by
right of prescription,
from Medieval
Latin prescribere, to claim by
such right,
from Latin praescribere, to write at
the beginning,
prescribe: prae-,
before, in front
+ scribere, to write.]
One
of
Yahweh's Two Witnesses will have the right to the name Yisrayl and
right to the
title of witness, because of the prophecies which
were written
beforehand.
From
The
Reader's
Digest Great Encyclopedic Dictionary, page 1065, there is
another aspect of
the word prescribe, which shows that this word is
used with the words for or to.
pre.scribe
v. -scribed, -scribing,v.t. 1. To set
down as a
direction or rule to be followed; ordain; enjoin... 6. Law To assert
a
title to something on the basis of prescription;
with for or to.
The
Interlinear
Bible, Hebrew-Greek-English, page 566, shows us that this
Witness named
Yisrayl will write with his hand for Yahweh.
One
of
Yahweh's Two Witnesses will serve for Yahweh in everything that he
does, and
will not be against Yahweh, as the majority of the people in this world
are.
Record:
Another
definition of the word kathab,
word #3789 in Strong's
Hebrew Dictionary, is record.
The
Reader's
Digest Illustrated Encyclopedic Dictionary, Volume 2, page
1404, gives the
following definition.
rec.ord
n. Abbr. rec. 1. a. An account made in
an enduring form, especially
in writing, that preserves the

Not
only
will
one of Yahweh's Two Witnesses be surnamed Yisrayl, he will
legally take
this name in a court of law, just as the prophecy has proclaimed.
Surname:
According to this prophecy written in Isayah 44:5,
one of Yahweh's
Two Witnesses will surname himself by the name of
Yisrayl.
The
word
translated surname in this Scripture, is word
#3655, kanah, in Strong's
Hebrew Dictionary and means the following.
3655.
kânâh, kaw-naw;
a prim. root; to
address
by an additional name;
hence, to eulogize:—give flattering
titles, surname (himself).
Reading Funk
& Wagnalls New Standard Bible Dictionary, page 604,
we find that
changes of names were either imposed by a superior, or was due to a
change of
status which seemed to demand a new name.
In later
life it
was also possible for a person to receive a name, sometimes called his surname,
which was used alongside of, or supplanted, his original name.
In all, or
nearly all, such cases the new
name was imposed by a
superior, or due to a
change of status which seemed to demand a new name.

Yahweh
has given
this inspired testimony in Isayah 44:5, showing
exactly how His
prophesied Two
Witnesses
would
obtain names which were not given to
them at
birth.
This prophecy has come to pass. One of Yahweh's Two
Witnesses
only
called himself Yaaqob. One of Yahweh's Two Witnesses
legally gave
himself the name of Yisrayl. They are brothers from
the same womb.
The
prophesied
way in which Yahweh's Two Witnesses would attain their prophesied
names, is the
most outstanding sign Yahweh gives that these two men are His Two
Witnesses. After this prophecy had already come to pass, Yahweh then
reveals
that He was the One Who did it.
Isayah
45:4—
For
Yaaqob My servant's sake, and Yisrayl My chosen; and I call
you by your name
Yaaqob;
and I
surname you Yisrayl,
though
you did not recognize that it was Me.
It
is
Yahweh
Who has named His Two Witnesses. Yahweh is the
Superior Who has imposed
these names upon the two brothers whom He called out to be His
Witnesses. One
of His Two Witnesses only calls himself Yaaqob and
one of them,
according to the prophecies, legally changes his name due
to a change of
status which seemed to demand a new name.
Yisrayl
will not
be the name given to one of the Two Witnesses at birth. Yisrayl,
because of his
love for Yahweh, gives himself that name, due to the guidance of
Yahweh's Holy
Spirit. Therefore, the name for the second Witness will legally be Yisrayl.
Yahweh
does not
just pick some name because it's pretty or He just likes the sound of
it.
Yahweh chooses names which describe the commission of the person whom
He
names. From Strong's Hebrew Dictionary,
we find the definitions
of the names Yaaqob and Yisrayl.
Yaaqob is word
#3290, from word #6117:
3290.
Ya`aqôb;
from 6117; heel-catcher
(i.e. supplanter); Jaakob,
the Israelitish
patriarch:—Jacob.
6117.`âqab;
a prim. root; prop. to swell out or up; used only as denom. from 6119;
to seize
by the heel);
fig. to circumvent (as if tripping
up the
heels); also to restrain (as if holding by the
heel):—take by the heel,
stay, supplant, x utterly.
Yisrayl is word
#3478, from word #8280:
3478.
Yisrâ'êl;
from 8280 and 410; he
will rule as God; a
symbolical name of Jacob; also
(typically) of his posterity:—Israel.
8280. sârâh;
a prim. root; to prevail:—have power (as
a prince).
These
are
the
names of Yahweh's Two Witnesses, and these names portray the commission
Yahweh
has given.
Yahweh
said,
"Let these Two Witnesses foretell the things that are coming, and let
them
proclaim that I am One." That is the commission of these two men in the
Last Days. It is also the commission for the group, known as the seed
of
the Two Witnesses, which will work for Yahweh. Yahweh calls out whom He
wills
to do His Work, and He shows that He has called these two men. We read
the
commission given to Yahweh's Two Witnesses.
Isayah
44:7-8—
7 And
Who, as I,
will
foretell, and set it
in order for Me, since I appointed the ancient people? And the things
which are
coming, and will come, let them foretell them.
8 Do
not fear, nor
be
afraid. Have I not
told you from that time, and have declared; You are My
witnesses! Is
there a source of power except Me? Truly, there is no
other Rock;
I know not one.
In Isayah
44 Yahweh reveals there is a specific doctrine which both
Witnesses are to
foretell in speaking and in writing. This one doctrine is not taught in
any of
the deceived churches and assemblies. The complete truth about this
doctrine is
only proclaimed by The House of Yahweh and is a
sign of the prophesied
Work of Yahweh in these Last Days.
Isayah
44:6,8—
6 This
is what
Yahweh, the
King of Israyl,
and Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts, says: I am the
first, and I am the
last, and except for Me there is no source of
power!
8 Do
not fear, nor
be
afraid. Have I not
told you from that time, and have declared; You are My
witnesses! Is
there a source of power except Me? Truly, there is no
other rock;
I know not one.
Yahweh's
Two
Witnesses will be promoting the true doctrine that Yahweh is One. The
House of
Yahweh proclaims this truth. The House of Yahweh is the only
organization in
the world which proclaims the complete truth about this doctrine of
Yahweh.
Revelation
11:1-2—
1 And
there was
given me a
reed like a
measuring rod. And the malak stood, saying: Rise, and measure
the Temple of
yahweh, and the altar, and its confines; where they
worship within.
2 But
the court
which is outside the
Temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given to the
Gentiles. And
the holy city they will tread under foot forty-two moons; months.
The
outer
court of the Temple of Yahweh will not be rebuilt in the time of the
Two
Witnesses, just as Revelation 11:2 states, because
the outer court has been
given to the Gentiles. At this time, the Gentiles have possession of
the south
of the Temple Mount because this is exactly where the Dome of the Rock
Mosque
sits at this time.
Reading
from
the King James Version, we find the following
mistranslation.
Revelation
11:3-5 KJV—
3
And I will give power unto My Two
Witnesses, and they will
prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore
days, clothed in
sackcloth.
4
These
are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the
God of
the earth.
5
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and
devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this
manner
be killed.
These
words,
in their original form, do not say that the Two Witnesses will prophesy
for one
thousand two hundred and sixty days. This is a mistranslation which
hides the
prophecy Yahweh has revealed to His people. Let us begin in Revelation
11:3
with the phrase: I will give power.
The
first thing I
want you to notice, is that the word power is
written in italics. This
means that word was added to the Scripture.
Reading Revelation
11:3 from The New International Version Interlinear
Greek-English New Testament,
we read the following word for word translation.
The
word
which is translated I will give is word
#1325 in Strong's
Greek
Dictionary and
means:
1325. didomi; to give
(used in a very wide application. prop. or
by impl. lit. or fig.; greatly
modified by the connection):—adventure,
bestow, bring
forth,
commit, deliver (up), give,
grant, hinder, make, minister,
number, offer, have
power, put,
receive, set,
shew, smite ( + with
the hand), strike ( + with the palm of the hand), suffer, take, utter,
yield.
Literally,
to give means to bring forth in the office of a minister by
having power,
being given authority to set (establish), show, spiritually smiting
with the
hand, and striking with the palm of the hand the evil that is rampant
in this
world.
It
is
because
Yahweh's Two Witnesses have done these things that they suffer and take
punishment and reviling, but they also utter the every Word of Yahweh,
and
yield fruit for Yahweh's Kingdom.
The
verb
form of
word #1325, as it is written in Revelation 11:3, is
written in the
future tense as I will give. However, these things
have been given to
the only two men who have, word for word, fulfilled
the prophecies
written about them.
There
are yet
other aspects of the things which have been given to Yahweh's Two
Witnesses.
From the Analytical Greek Lexicon Of The New Testament,
page 98, we find
they are also given to ascribe
and inscribe.
...to

As
we
have

Yahweh's Two Witnesses to ascribe

Yahweh's
Two
Witnesses are his two official writers, as ready scribes to foretell
the future
events which will take place, just as Yahweh has
written in His
testimony.
Not
only this, the
Greek word, #1325 in Strong's Greek Dictionary
corresponds exactly to
its Hebrew original. In Thayer's Greek Lexicon To
The New Testament,
page 145, we find the following original Hebrew words.
The
first underlined word in the above Thayer's reference
is nathan,
word #5414 in Strong's Hebrew Dictionary, and
means:
5414.
nâthan;
a prim. root; to give, used
with great latitude
of
application (put,
make,
etc.):—add,

The
next
underlined word in the Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon of the
New Testament
reference is suwm, word #7760, which means:
7760.
sûwm, soom; or sîym, seem;
a prim. root; to put

The
third
underlined word in the above Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon
of the New
Testament reference is yahab, words
#3051-3052-3053 in Strong's
Hebrew Dictionary, and means:
3051.
yâhab;
a prime. root; to give

lit, or fig.); gen.

3053.
yehab;
from 3051; prop. what is given...i.e.
a
lot:—burden.
The
definitions of the original Hebrew words show the exact meanings of the
Greek
word, which relate the things that have been given to both of Yahweh's
Two
Witnesses. Remember, one of these things is Yahweh's authority to write
as
His official writers.
Reading
the
definition of Hebrew word #5414, nathan, from Gesenius'
Hebrew And Chaldee
Lexicon To The Old Testament, we find that the word,
translated to give,
is merely a Hebrew verb form which must be followed by that which is
given
(which is also true to the Greek verb form that is written in Revelation
11:3).
According
to
the definitions of the word translated I will give,
we see that Yahweh
will give the sign of His Two Witnesses because they both fulfill the
prophecies written about them in the Law and the prophets.
They
both
write,
teach and print about the sure and certain time period in the history
of man
known as the Last Days. Writing, teaching, printing, and establishing
The House
of Yahweh in these Last Days have been given to Yahweh's Two Witnesses,
brothers from the same womb, who have performed, and are performing,
Yahweh's
prophecies.
However,
in Revelation
11:5 Yahweh reveals that there is only one who is to be the
spokesman of
the Two Witnesses.
Reading
from
the King James Version, we find:
Revelation
11:5 KJV—
And
if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth,
and
devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he
must in this
manner be killed.
As
you
should
realize by now, this Scripture is written in symbolic language. For
anyone to believe
that fire, actual flames and smoke, would proceed out of someone's
mouth to
kill another is beyond belief, as well as beyond the physical laws of
the human
body which Yahweh Himself set in motion.
Reading Revelation
11:5 from NIV Interlinear Greek-English New
Testament, let us first
search these words.
Fire: The
word translated fire is word #4442 in Strong's
Greek Dictionary,
and means:
4442.
pur;
a prim. word; "fire" (lit.
or fig., spec. lightning):—fiery,
fire.
From Thayer's
Greek-English Lexicon Of The New Testament,
we find that the
original Hebrew word is word #784, aysh, in Strong's
Hebrew
Dictionary. The second thing we find is the symbolic meaning
of this word:
The tongue is called pur as though both itself
on fire and setting other things on fire,
partly by reason of the fiery spirit which governs it,
partly by reason of the destructive
power it exercises. Jas. iii, 6; since fire disorganizes and
sunders things
joined together and compact, it is used to symbolize
dissension,
Lk. xii, 49. Metaphorical expressions: to snatch
from danger of
destruction,
Jude 23;
Reading
Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon To The Old
Testament on, page 83,
we find this corroborative information.
784.
va Specially—(1) the fire of God... by a similar figure,
fire, when speaking of
men, is also applied to internal ardor of mind. Jer. 20:9; Ps. 39:3,4.
(3)
Fire and burning are used in Hebrew to designate any destruction,
whether of
men or things.
The
words to
be killed are translated from word #615 in Strong's
Greek Dictionary,
and means:
615 ....(to slay);
to k. outright; fig. to
destroy:—put
to
death, kill, slay.
From
Thayer's
Greek-English Lexicon Of The New Testament,
page 64, we find further
information about the symbolic meaning of to
destroy, allow
to perish, to
extinguish, abolish, to inflict moral death, to deprive of spiritual
life.
Therefore,
fire,
as used in Revelation 11:5, symbolizes the every
Word of Yahweh, the
fire, the two edged sword which cuts both ways. Those who oppose Yahweh
by
opposing the Two Witnesses, are effectually to be killed, to be
destroyed.
Let
us
continue our
research, to find that there is only one spokesman for the Two
Witnesses. The
word translated mouth in this Scripture is word
#4750 in Strong's
Greek Dictionary, and means by implication language
and its relations
(words and speech).
4750. stoma; prob. strengthened from a
presumed der. of
the base of 5114; the mouth
(as if a gash in the face); by impl. language
(and its
relations)...
Thayer's
Greek-English Lexicon
Of The New
Testament,
page 589, shows us the
Hebrew word originally used.
4750 stoma, (apparently
i.q. toma,
with s
prefixed, therefore prop. cutting' fr. IIom. down; Heb. peh the
mouth;
This
Hebrew
word, peh is word #6310 in Strong's
Hebrew Dictionary.
6310.
peh, peh; from 6284; the mouth
(as the means of blowing),
whether lit. or fig. (particularly
speech);
spec. edge, portion
or side; adv. (with prep.) according to:—accord
(-ing as, -ing
to), after
appointment, assent, collar, command
(-ment)... speech,
x spoken, talk, tenor, x to, + two-edged, wish, word.
Gesenius'
Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon To The Old Testament,
page 667, then tells us
what this mouth means.
...especially
as being the organ of speech. To
speak... an
orator, spokesman,
messenger;
Ex. 4:16 (comp. aybn); commandment...
From The
Analytical Greek Lexicon Of The New Testament, page 377, we
find that the
word mouth, as written in Revelation 11:5,
is written in the
genitive singular form, one mouth.
Therefore, there is only one
mouth, one spokesman, one messenger of the Two Witnesses who is sent to
speak the
word of Yahweh's Law and prophets.
The
word
translated devours in Revelation 11:5
is written in the third
person singular verb form, he devours. This means
the mouth of the one
spokesman of the Two Witnesses will condemn sin,
the breaking of
Yahweh's Laws.
Reading
this
Interlinear by Marshall we find this word underlined:
The Analytical
Greek Lexicon Of The New Testament, shows the word translated
he devours
to be written in the third person singular form. The word translated devours
is word #2719 in Strong's Greek Dictionary.
2719.
katesthio;
from 2596 and 2068
(includ. its alt.); to
eat
down,
i.e. devour
(lit. or fig.):—devour.
There
is
a
specific meaning to the harm/hurt that the spokesman of the Two
Witnesses, as it
were, eats down. The words translated to harm, hurt,
come from word #91,
from word #94, in the Strong's Greek Dictionary.
91. adikeo,
from 94; to be unjust,
i.e. (act.) do
wrong (mor., socially or phys.):—hurt,
injure, be an offender,
be unjust, (do, suffer, take) wrong.
94. adikos;
from 1 (as a neg. particle)
and 1349; unjust; by
extens. wicked; by impl. treacherous;
spec. heathen:—unjust,
unrighteous.
In
other
words, the so-called harm which the spokesman condemns is the
Lawbreaking. Thayer's
Greek-English Lexicon Of The New Testament,
page 11, shows us this
is exactly what this harm is referring to.
91
...b. to be a criminal, to have violated
the laws in some way: Acts
xxv. 11.
Then,
the
words translated wishes and should wish
in Revelation 11:5,
are word #2309 in Strong's Greek Dictionary.
2309. thelo;
or ethelo;
in certain tenses theleo, and etheleho which
are otherwise obsol.; appar. strengthened from the
alt.
form of 138; to determine
(as an
act. option from subj. impulse;
wheras 1014
prop. denotes rather a pass. acquiescence
in obj.
considerations), i.e.
choose or prefer
(lit. or fig.);
by
impl. to wish, i.e. be inclined
to (sometimes adv. gladly)...
Reading
the
definition of thelo from The Analytical
Greek Lexicon Of The New
Testament, page 192, we find the verb forms used in this
translation, then
we find that the words wishes and should
wish absolutely mean The
act of exercising one's will, to determine to act with premeditation.
The
correct
translation according to the precise definitions of the words used, is:
Revelation
11:5—
And
if any among them determines in his mind to commit sin,
the every word
of Yahweh, like the two-edged sword of fire, proceeds out of the mouth
of
the spokesman of them, and he condemns Lawbreaking;
and if any man
of them should continue to commit sin, in this
manner it is binding for
him to be destroyed.
Remember,
the
death inflicted upon these sinners is spiritual death. This sentence is
only
carried out at the First Resurrection, when Yahshua Messiah will judge
those
who are His, as you may read in Mattithyah 25:31-46.
The
spokesman of
the Two Witnesses brings forth the every word of Yahweh, the Law and
the
prophets. This is what convicts a Lawbreaker, an enemy of Yahweh,
who is
also an enemy of the Two Witnesses.
As
we
have
proven, there is only one spokesman of the Two Witnesses. Therefore, it
is also
a Scriptural fact (Revelation 11:3) that
both of Yahweh's Two
Witnesses will not be speaking. Reading this Scripture again from the
Interlinear by Marshall, we find:
As
we
have
proven, Yahweh Himself has given both of His Two Witnesses to write, to
teach
and to print
and those
are the things they do to
prophesy.
The
words translated they
will prophesy are the third person plural
form
of word #4395 in Strong's
Greek Dictionary, and means to
foretell events,
divine, speak under
inspiration, exercise the prophetic office:—prophesy.
To foretell events is
exactly what Yahweh's Two Witnesses are prophesied to do.
Isayah
44:7—
And
Who,
as I, will foretell, and set it in order for Me,
since I appointed the
ancient people? And the things which are coming, and will
come, let them
foretell them.
To foretell means
to tell beforehand.
Reading Thayer's
Greek-English Lexicon Of The New Testament,
pages 552-553, we find the
in-depth meaning of
word #4395.
...to
prophesy, i.e. to be a prophet, speak forth by devine inspiration; to
predict; a.
univ.:b. with the idea of foretelling
future events
pertaining esp. to
the kingdom of God: 9; c. to utter forth, declare,
a thing which can
only be known by divine revelation: ...to teach, refute, reprove,
admonish,
comfort others ... e. to act as a prophet,
discharge the prophetic
office: Rev. xi. 3.
To
fulfill
their prophetic offices, Yahweh gave both of His Two Witnesses to
write, teach
and print, but He has only given one of His Two Witnesses to be a
spokesman.
In
the
phrase clothed
in sackcloth, written in Revelation 11:3,
we will find another key
to understanding about the time period both of Yahweh's Two Witnesses
write,
teach, and print about.
The
word
translated clothed
is word
#4016, periballo,
in Strong's
Hebrew Dictionary
and literally means to
throw
around, or cast about.
The
verb
form of
the word clothed is written, in the nominative
(the
subject) plural,
masculine, participle; perfect, passive form, as we find in the Analytical
Greek Lexicon
on page 318 and should be translated those
having been cast about.
nom.
pl. masc. part. perf. pass. id. ...to
cast around a
city
The
word
translated sackcloth is word #4526 in Strong's
Greek
Dictionary.
4526.
of Heb. or. [8242]; "sack''-cloth,
i.e. mohair (the material or
garments made of it, worn as a sign of grief):—sackcloth.
However,
reading Revelation 6:12, we find another Scripture
which speaks of
sackcloth as being darkness.
Revelation
6:12—
And
I looked when He had opened the sixth seal, and behold, there was a
great
earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon
became
as blood.
Literally
translated clothed in
sackcloth is referring to the days themselves, the days
which are cast about with darkness, the days which number 1,260, the days
which represent the last part of the Great Tribulation.
Within
the
phrase, clothed in sackcloth, as it is written in Revelation
11:3,
the King James Version, there is a symbolic meaning
to these words, a
meaning which pertains to the Work of Yahweh in the Last Days.
The
word
translated clothed in the King James
Version, is periballo,
word #4016 in Strong's Greek Dictionary and means:
4016.
...from 4012 and 906; to
throw
all around, i.e. invest (with a
palisade or with clothing):—array, cast about, clothe (-d
me), put on.
Word
#4016
comes from two other Greek words, word #4021 and word #906, which mean with
respect to, pertaining (to), cast (out), pour.
Therefore,
as the
definitions of these two words clearly show, they most certainly can be
translated pertaining
to sending forth;
as
concerning pouring out.
Let us research
the
word translated sackcloth in Revelation
11:3, the King James
Version, in order to find that which is symbolically sent
forth or poured
out.
As we saw from the
definition of the word sackcloth, word #4526 comes
from Hebrew word #8242 saq.
Reading
the
definition of word #8242 in Gesenius' Hebrew-Chaldee Lexicon
To The
Old Testament, page 794, we find that the root word of sa
is saqaq.
Reading
the
definition of saqaq, from the same source, we then
find that this same
root word saqaq is the same as zaqaq,
which is word #2212, found
on page 252 of Gesenius'.
In
corroboration, The
Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon,
by Benjamin
Davidson, page 242, gives us this vital information:
>
We
have
already
proven that the word translated sackcloth in Revelation
11:3 is
written in the nominative (the subject), plural masculine, participle,
perfect,
passive Greek verb form. Therefore, the symbolic meaning of the phrase,
clothed
in sackcloth, is these are
the days in which
refining is poured out
therefore purification and unity is sent forth.
The
Two
Witnesses
tell beforehand that which is to take place in the Last Days of the
history of
mankind. The time period that both of Yahweh's Two Witnesses are given
to
foretell about is written in Revelation 11:3. It's
a time period of
1,260 days. This does not mean that the Two Witnesses speak for
that
many days, it means that they prophesy about that time period by
writing,
teaching and printing. Read these verses correctly translated from The
Book
of Yahweh.
Revelation
11:3-5—
3 And
I will give
to My Two
Witnesses to
perform their prophetic offices, and they will foretell
events about
the one thousand two hundred and sixty days, those cast about with
darkness.
4 These
are, as it
were, the two olive
trees, and, as it were, the two lamps of
the seven lamp lampstand,
ministering for the Father in the earth.
5 And
if any among
them
determines in his
mind to commit sin, The every Word of Yahweh, like
the two-edged sword
of fire, proceeds out of the mouth of the spokesman
of them, and he
devours their enemies; and if any among them should continue
to
commit sin, in this manner it is binding for him to
be destroyed.
Keep
this
fact firmly in your mind: the 1,260 days, the
period of time which
Yahweh has given both of His Two Witnesses to prophesy about, is
not all
that Yahweh has given His spokesman to proclaim. He has given His
spokesman to
proclaim every event that He has inspired to be written.
Written
in
the King James Version, we read:
Revelation
11:7 KJV—
And
when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth
out of
the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome
them, and
kill them.
This
Scripture,
as it is written in The NIV Interlinear Greek-English New
Testament, on
pages 987-988, gives the following information.
The
word
translated whenever
in this
Scripture is word
#3752 in Strong's
Greek
Dictionary,
and is a word which implies hypothesis,
or more or less uncertainty,
and as
soon
as.
The
phrase
translated they finish is the third person plural
form of word #5055,
which means:
5055. teleo;
from 5056;
to end, i.e. complete,
execute, conclude, discharge (a
debt):—accomplish,
make an end,
expire, fill up, finish, go over, pay, perform.
Reading Thayer's
Greek-English Lexicon Of The New Testament,
page 619, we find the
in-depth meaning of this word.
5055
1. to bring
to a close, to
finish, to end:
2. to
perform, execute, complete, fulfill, (so that the thing done
corresponds to
what has been said, the order, command, etc.), i.e. a.
with special
reference to the subject matter, to carry out the
contents of a command: b. with
reference also to the form, to
do
just as commanded,
and
generally involving a notion of time, to perform the last act which
completes a
process, to accomplish,
fulfill: ...the
duty of testifying, Rev.
xi. 7;
The
word
translated witness is word #3141 in Strong's
Greek Dictionary,
and means evidence
given.
3141.
marturia;
from
3144; evidence
given
(judicially
or gen.):—record,
report, testimony, witness.
Thayer's
Greek-English Lexicon Of The New Testament,
on page 391, tells us
this evidence is the office committed to the prophets of testifying
concerning
future events.
This
Scripture
correctly translated, says:
Revelation
11:7—
And whenever
they will have finished the evidence written about
them, completely
performing their testimony concerning
future events, the beast,
the same which ascends out of the abyss, he will make war
with them, and
he will overcome them, and he will kill
them.
Read
this
Scripture carefully for yourself. This Scripture does not say that
Yahweh's Two
Witnesses will die together. This scripture clearly says that whenever
(uncertainty) one has finished his prophetic office, then and only
then, will
he die.
Yaaqob's
prophetic office was finished on Friday, March 22, 1991. It was given
to Yaaqob
to write about the 1,260 days—those cast
about with darkness, during the
last half of the Great Tribulation. Yaaqob performed his prophetic
office
completely.
Yisrayl's
prophetic office will not be finished until he has performed every word
Yahweh
has spoken about Him.
In Isayah
40-46 Yahweh gives His prophecies to those whom He ordains to
fulfill them.
Yahweh is in complete control of His creation, including His Plan for
the
salvation of mankind. Everything will be done according to Yahweh's
Plan,
including giving Yaaqob to the curse, and Yisrayl to reproaches.
Isaiah
43:26-28 KJV—
26
Put me in rememberance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou
mayest
be justified.
27
Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed
against me.
28
Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and
have given Jacob
to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.
When
Yahweh
brought to pass what He inspired to be written in Isayah 43:28—Yaaqob
was given to the curse and Yisrayl to reproaches. Those things were
according
to Yahweh's Plan for His express purpose of turning His called out ones
to His
righteousness.
The
word
translated curse in Isayah 43:28
is word #2764 from word #2763 in Strong's Hebrew Dictionary
and means consecrated
to Yahweh and devoted
for a religious purpose, which is extermination.
Yahweh
has given
Yaaqob to the curse of death. This prophecy has been fulfilled. Yaaqob
has
finished his testimony.
The
word
translated reproaches in Isayah 43:28 is
word #1421 in Strong's
Hebrew Dictionary and means vilification,
reproach,
reviling.
Whenever
the words reproaches or vilification are
mentioned, the
mental picture automatically
painted in one's mind is that Yisrayl is being spoken about badly,
insulted, brought
low or slandered. These things are exactly what we have seen come to
pass since
Yaaqob's death in 1991.
We
have
proven beyond doubt there is one spokesman for Yahweh's Two Witnesses
in these
Last Days. This Scriptural truth also implies that there will be only
one Work
of Yahweh which will continue in these Last Days.
Isayah
44:23-28—
23
Sing, O heavens, for Yahweh has done it! Shout, you
lower parts of the
earth! Break forth into singing, you mountains, O forest, and every
tree in it!
For Yahweh has redeemed Yaaqob, and glorified Himself through
Yisrayl!
24
This is what Yahweh your Redeemer, He Who formed you from the womb
says: I am Yahweh Who makes all things, Who
stretched out the heavens together
with My servants, who spread out the earth with Me.
25
I am the One Who frustrates the signs of the false prophets,
Who makes
fools of diviners, Who turns wise men backward, and makes their
knowledge
nonsense.
26
I
am the One Who carries out the word of His servant, and fulfills the
plan of
His messenger—the one saying of Yerusalem: She shall be
inhabited, and of the
cities of Yahdah: They shall be built—and her ruins I will
restore;
27
The one saying to the watery deep; Be dry—and your streams I
will dry
up;
28
The one saying for uprightness—the one being My shepherd, who
will accomplish
all My purpose, who will say to Yerusalem; You shall be rebuilt, and to
the
Temple; Your foundations shall be laid.
The
first
thing we must understand from Isayah 44:23 is the
fact that Yaaqob has
been redeemed. The second thing we must understand is that through
Yisrayl,
Yahweh will glorify Himself.
The
word translated redeemed is word #1350 in Strong's
Hebrew Dictionary and
means to be
brought back.
Because
Yaaqob is Yahweh's servant (one who obeys the will of Yahweh which he
is given)
it is Yahweh Who redeems Yaaqob according to His Plan and purpose.
The
word translated glorified
is word
#6286 in Strong's
Hebrew Dictionary
and means, among other things, to
explain
clearly.
It
is through the Witness Yisrayl that Yahweh will glorify Himself,
through the
Work of His one spokesman who remains.
It
is given to the one spokesman of the Two Witnesses to speak all that is
written
in Isayah 44:26-28, in order for Yahweh to glorify
Himself when He
brings these things to pass.
In
Isayah
44, we have seen the naming and the appointing of Yahweh's
Two Witnesses.
We have also seen that both of their Works are to foretell future
events, as we
again read in:
Isayah
44:7—
And
Who, as I, will foretell, and set it in order for me,
since I appointed
the ancient people? And the things which are coming, and will
come, let them
foretell them.
In Isayah
43:26-28, we have seen that Yaaqob's death was prophesied,
and the fact
that Yisrayl is given to reproaches.
In
Isayah 44:23-28, we have come to understand that Yaaqob has
been redeemed,
but that Yahweh will glorify Himself through Yisrayl.
In Isayah 44:23-28,
we
also have come to the
knowledge
that Yisrayl alone is left to lead the only
prophesied Work of Yahweh on Earth
in these Last
Days. With Yaaqob's death, there is now one Witness and one Work.
Reading Isayah
49:1-13, we see the Work which the Witness
Yisrayl is sent to do and that the Work was sent
by Father
Yahweh Himself.
You
can compare the Work which Yahshua Messiah was sent to do in Isayah
42:1-8 to
the Work which the Witness Yisrayl is sent to do in Isayah
49:1-13. What
you will find is that these works sent by Yahweh exactly parallel each
other.
They are virtually identical, because Yahshua Messiah was sent to start
the
work of Yahweh to usher in the end of the age; the Witness Yisrayl was
sent to
finish the same work, so the end would come.
Just
as
Yahshua
Messiah, as the High Priest over The House of Yahweh established The
House of
Yahweh at the beginning of His ministry (Yahchanan Mark 3:13-19),
Yahweh
ordained that His Witness Yisrayl would be given
the same work in these
Last Days. (Isayah 2:2-Micahyah 4:1).
Yahchanan the
Immerser and Yahshua Messiah were both sent by Yahweh to establish
The
House of Yahweh, because there must be two witnesses
to legally
establish any matter. When Yahchanan's Work was finished, he was
killed.
Yahchanan said he must decrease and Yahshua must increase. Thereafter,
Yahshua
Messiah went on to Work, reaching all those who Yahweh was calling out
at that
time, the portion who was given the opportunity to
enter into the family
of the 144,000 holy and righteous Priesthood.
In
these
Last
Days, Yahweh has worked in the same way, only with two brothers He
calls
witnesses. They are both sent by Yahweh to establish The
House of Yahweh
in the same manner as Yahchanan and Yahshua. When the older brother's
Work was
finished, his prophesied death took place. In this same prophecy,
written in Isayah
43:28, the Witness Yisrayl is to go forward, increasing
in the Work
which Yahweh has sent him to do alone. The Work which Yisrayl is to
perform in
these Last Days is to reach all those whom Yahweh is calling out at
this time,
the remnant of those given the opportunity to receive offices under the
last
Priest of the 144,000 holy and righteous Priesthood.
Yisrayl's
Work
will be used during the Great Tribulation to call out a great number
which no
man can number, as a Covenant to the people and as a light to the
Gentiles, to
all who are imprisoned in darkness.
With
this
Scriptural understanding in mind, let us read about the Work of Yahweh
which
finishes His Plan for mankind, and ushers in the Kingdom of Yahweh upon
earth.
Isayah
49:1-13—
1 Listen,
O isles; countries,
to me!
Listen, you peoples, from afar! Yahweh has called me from the
womb; from the bowels of my mother He has
made mention of my
name.
2 And
He has made my
mouth like a
sharp sword; in the shadow of His hand He has hidden me, and made me a
polished
shaft; in His quiver He has hidden me,
3 And
He said to
me: You are my
servant O Yisrayl, through whom I will be glorified.
4 Then
I said; I
have
labored in vain, I
have spent my strength for nothing, and in vain. yet
surely my
judgment is with Yahweh, and my work with my Father.
5 And
now Yahweh
says, Who
formed me from
the womb to be His
servant to bring the people of Yaaqob back
to Him, because the descendants of Israyl are not
yet gathered, I am
honored in the eyes of Yahweh, and my Father is my Strength.
6 And
He said: It
is not
enough that you
should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Yaaqob, and to
restore the
protected of Israyl; I will also give you for a
light to the Gentiles,
so you may be My salvation to the ends of the earth.
7 This
is what
Yahweh, the
Redeemer of
Israyl, their Holy One, says to him whom man despises,
to him whom the nations
abhor, to the servant of rulers: kings will see and arise;
princes also
will worship, because of Yahweh Who is faithful, the Holy One
of Israyl; and
He has chosen you.
8 This
is what
Yahweh says:
In an
acceptable time I have heard you, and in a day of salvation I have
helped you; I
will protect you and give you as a covenant to the people, to restore
the
earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;
9 So
you may say
to the prisoners;
Come out! And to those in darkness; Show
yourselves! They will feed in
the ways, and their pastures will be in all high
places.
10
They will not hunger nor thirst; neither will the heat nor sun strike
them; for
He Who has mercy on them will lead them, even by the springs of water
He will
guide them.
11
I
will make all My mountains a way, and My highways will be exalted.
12
See them! They will come from afar, from the direction of the
west, from
the country from which the exiles will be brought back.
13
Sing, O heavens! Be joyful, O earth! Break out in singing,
O mountains!
For Yahweh has comforted His people, and will have mercy
upon his
afflicted.
Praise
Yahweh
for re-establishing His House in these Last Days to preach and
publish
His
message of truth to the entire world.
On
October 9,
1980, The House of Yahweh, Abilene, held its first services in the home
of
Yisrayl Hawkins. At that time, there were only eight people present.
Immediately after ward, a mobile home was acquired and renovated for
use as a
Sanctuary. That work took approximately two months to finish. Yaaqob
Hawkins,
also known as J.G. Hawkins, was in complete agreement with the building
of The
House of Yahweh in Abilene. Yaaqob agreed that Work would be The House
of
Yahweh.
In
November,
1980, Yisrayl called his brother, Yaaqob, telling him that the mobile
home was
almost finished for use as a Sanctuary. Yisrayl wanted Yaaqob to come
and
dedicate the Sanctuary to Yahweh on the Feast of Dedication, which that
year,
was on December 2, 1980. Yaaqob gladly accepted the invitation, and
brought
with him his family and other members of his organization from Odessa.
Yaaqob
brought
the sermon that night, entitled The Feast of Dedication:
Dedicating This
Work Of The House of Yahweh To Yahweh. There were two priests
present to
present this Work to Yahweh's service—Yaaqob and Yisrayl.
Since
that time,
the Work of Yahweh has been known in these Last Days by the same name
that
every inspired Work of Yahweh down through the pages of history was
known: The
House of Yahweh.
The
word dedication literally means renewal.
The words
dedication and consecration refer
to the renewal of the worship of Yahweh. The same words referred to the
dedication of the altar in the Tabernacle after the Exodus (Numbers
7:10-11),
in The House of Yahweh built by Solomon (I Kings 8:63, II Chronicles
7:7), and
in The House of Yahweh rebuilt after the Babylonian captivity (Ezrayah
6:16).
In
these Last
Days, The House of Yahweh, by the Two Witnesses whom Yahweh ordained,
was
dedicated to Yahweh. Thereby, initiating the renewal of the worship of
Yahweh
in the world. Praise Yahweh through Yahshua Messiah.
It
was
while my
brother, Yaaqob, was in the land of Israel that I began wanting to
change my
name. I wrote to Yaaqob about this desire, and expressed my feelings
that my
name, I felt at that time, was a hindrance to Yahweh's work. I was
named at
birth by my next oldest brother, who named me Buffalo Bill Hawkins. I
did not
understand the significance of that name at that time.
When
the Work of
Yahweh was dedicated in 1980, and as the months went by after that, the
longing
to have my name changed became stronger and stronger, until the desire
to
change my name started interfering with my every thought. It was only
at that
point that I felt I could put it off no longer.
It
was in the spring
of 1982 when I finally contacted an attorney to initiate the legal
proceedings.
His first question was: Why do you want to change your name? The judge
will
want to know. My reply was that I felt my given name was a hindrance to
the
Work of Yahweh that I was involved in. It was on that premise the legal
proceeding was initiated.
There
were so
many of what man would call coincidences in the changing of my name to
Yisrayl.
So many coincidences, in fact, that it became readily apparent that it
was
Yahweh guiding this to take place.
For
instance, the
day before I was to go before the judge to have my name legally changed
to
Israyl, I was on the phone with my lawyer discussing the proceedings
with him.
While I was on the phone, finalizing the plans for the next day, my
wife came
into my office, interrupted my conversation and informed be that the
name
should be spelled Yisrayl. At that point, I told my lawyer the correct
spelling, and he informed me that we would have to change the court
date in
order to correct the error.
Had
it not been
for Yahweh's guidance in the matter, my name would have been spelled
differently than what Yahweh's prophecies proclaimed.
It
was the next week,
on March 15, 1982, that the judge granted my name change legally,
thereby
fulfilling the prophecy that the Witness Yisrayl would do that very
thing. This
case was filed on March 16, 1982. The legal proceedings proclaim:
IV.
Petitioner
desires to adopt as his legal given name Yisrayl so that his full name
will be
Yisrayl Bill Hawkins, Petitioner wishes to adopt the given name of
Yisrayl in
honor to his essential commitment to his Creator, Yahweh.
V.
It
is
accordingly in Petitioner's interest and benefit to change his name,
which
Petitioner does not request an order to, and which will not have the
effect to
release, discharge, or destroy any obligation, responsibility or right
against
or entitlement of Petitioner under his original name.
Petitioner
therefore prays that the Court grant the relief requested, and for such
other
relief to which Petitioner may be entitled.
Before
that
time, I wasn't aware of the prophecy in Isayah 44:5,
which referred to the
calling and surnaming of Yahweh's Two Witnesses. It was only two weeks
later,
just before Passover of 1982, that Yahweh revealed that prophecy of His
Two
Witnesses to me. It was only at that time that I recognized that my
brother had
fulfilled the circumstances of his name being called Yaaqob in the year
1969;
and I had fulfilled the legal surnaming of myself in 1982, fulfilling
those
prophecies to the minute detail.
It
is a
Scriptural fact that Yahweh had called Yaaqob with his name, and had
surnamed
me with the name of Yisrayl, although I did not know it at the time.
Yes,
Yahweh Himself wrote that it was He who did those things, but the
Scriptural
fact was only revealed to me later.
Isayah
45:4—
For
Yaaqob My
servant's sake, and
Yisrayl My chosen; I call
you by your name, (Yaaqob) I surnamed you (Yisrayl), though you did not
recognize it was Me.
—Yisrayl
Hawkins
Following
is the architectural
design of Yechetzqyah’s Temple, as it would look
sitting
north
of the Dome of the Rock Mosque on
the Temple Mount in
these Last Days.
The
House of
Yahweh, Abilene, Texas holds the following Design Patents for the
measurements
of the Third Temple
Prophesied by Yechetzqyah:
United
States Design Patent
#360951; Israeli Design Registration #23078
n
my
many years of
study, of which you will only see a part in this article, I have
discovered
that the Prophet Yechetzqyah wrote about a Temple and a time period for
the day
in which we now live.
Yechetzqyah
was
inspired to write this prophecy over 600 years before the Temple was
destroyed
in 70 c.e. He was inspired to write for us who live in these
days—these
troublous days, these same troublous times that the other inspired
prophets
proclaimed.
In
these
same
prophecies, we are also shown a peaceful solution
for building the
Temple of Yahweh! What is even more important is the fact that these
same
prophecies show us how we, in this generation, can bring peace to
Jerusalem and
to the world.
In
Yechetzqyah's
prophecies are the complete measurements of a Temple unlike any other
that was
ever built before. Many of these measurements have never made sense to
any
other scholars, but with Yahweh's inspiration we have come to see
exactly what
the Prophet Yechetzqyah saw: The pattern for building the Temple in
these Last
Days.
This
pattern,
with all its measurements, exactly fits the area of land sitting north
of the
Dome of the Rock Mosque. Yechetzqyah confirmed that is where the Temple
will
set. Yes, this pattern offers us, this last generation, a peaceful
solution to
building the Temple, and an end to the troublous times which Jerusalem
now
faces.
All
we now
ask is
that you study this information carefully. Then, contact The House of
Yahweh if
you have any questions.
To
many
people today, and especially to our government leaders, speaking about
or
quoting from the Holy Scriptures is not the so-called "in thing'' to
do. In
fact, I have found as I have attempted to set an appointment to speak
to a
leader of a nation, that when the Bible is mentioned, the door is shut
or the
phone is hung up, almost instantly. Nevertheless, the Holy Scriptures
have very
real and viable solutions to today's world problems. Our world leaders
would be
well advised to study these solutions and then apply them in solving
today's
problems, rather than relying upon their own understanding.
Many
of the prophets
of old actually spoke of our day, describing existing problems facing
all the
nations on this planet. Whether we want to believe it or not: the
prophets of
old were inspired by the Creator, Yahweh.
Since
we
will
be dealing with the Prophet Yechetzqyah's (Ezekiyl's) prophecies in
this
article for the most part, let us put this prophet to the test, so to
speak, to
see if there is any reliability in the things he wrote. Yes, there is
significant evidence available to prove whether or not his
proclamations can be
relied upon and whether they were just written by a man or were
inspired by a
Super Intelligence.
In
the
year
590 b.c.e., the Prophet Yechetzqyah prophesied against a great city
called
Tyre. Tyre was comparable in size at that time to New York City, in the
United
States today. With sea ports and island harbors, Tyre readily imported
a steady
stream of supplies through her sea routes. Tyre was also supplied by
land, but
if she were to be cut off from supplies by land, she supposedly could
survive
because of her sea lanes. The walls surrounding this city were thought
to be of
eternal strength. They were built to protect this thriving city against
any and
all attacks. This city was believed to be impregnable.
Tyre
was a
Phoenician seaport in what is now Lebanon. Originally an island with
two great
harbors, the chief trading center of the Mediterranean, it is now a
peninsula.
Tyre was founded in the 1500's b.c.e. Tyre resisted siege by Assyrians
and
Babylonians alike and defied several armies, including that of
Nebuchadnezzar.
Tyre fell to Alexander the Great in 332 b.c.e. after being besieged for
seven
months. After she fell, 8,000 Tyrians were slaughtered, 2,000 executed,
and
3,000 sold into slavery.
The
Prophet
Yechetzqyah was inspired by the Creator, Yahweh, to prophesy against
this city,
as great as it was, and to say in the year 590 b.c.e that it would
fall. The
Holy Scriptures in which this prophecy was written give complete
details of
Tyre's destruction.
No
human
being can tell you what will take place fifty or one hundred years from
now. In
fact, no human being can show you what will or will not take place
tomorrow, or
even in the next hour. Yet, Yechetzqyah, under the inspiration of
Yahweh,
foretold in exact detail how the great city of Tyre would meet her
destruction.
Tyre was a great and wealthy city. Read this for yourself in:
Yechetzqyah
27:1-17—
1 The
word of
Yahweh came to me again, saying:
2 Now,
son of
man, take up a lamentation for Tyre,
3 And
say to Tyre;
O you who are situated at the entry of the sea, a merchant of
the people
for many isles, this is what Father Yahweh says: O Tyre, you have said;
I am
of perfect beauty.
4 Your
borders are
in the midst of the seas, your builders have perfected your
beauty.
5 They
made all
your ship's boards of fir trees from Senir; they
have taken cedars from
Lebanon to make masts for you.
6 Of the
oaks of Bashan they have made your oars; the company of the Ashurites
have made
your benches of ivory, brought from
the isles of Chittim; Cyprus.
7 Fine
linen
with embroidered work from Egypt was what you spread for your sail;
blue and
purple from the isles of Elishah was what covered you.
8 The
inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were your mariners; oarsmen; your
wise men, O Tyre, that were
in you, were your
pilots.
9 Elders
of Gebal
and its wise men were in you to caulk your seams; all the ships of the
sea and
their oarsmen were in you to deal in your merchandise.
10 Those
from
Persia, from Lud, and
from Phut were in your
army, your men of war hung shield and helmet in you; they
brought forth your
splendor.
11 The
men of
Arvad, with your
army,
were upon your walls
all around; and the Gammadim were in your towers. They hung their
shields upon
your walls all around; they have made your beauty perfect.
12 Tarshish; Spain,
was your merchant, doing
business with you because of your multitude of all kinds of
riches; with
silver, iron, tin, and lead they traded for your wares.
13 Yavan; Greece, Tubal,
and Meshech; in the
mountainous region between the Black and Caspian Seas, were your
merchants;
they traded slaves and articles of bronze in your market.
14 Those
of
the house of Togarmah; Armenia, traded
for your wares with chariot horses, cavalry horses, and mules.
15 The
men of
Dedan; in
Arabia, were your merchants.
Many isles were your own markets; they brought you in payment horns of
ivory
and ebony.
16 Aram; Syria,
was your merchant because of
the multitude of the wares you made; they traded for your
wares with their
merchandise: emeralds, purple, embroidered work, fine linen,
coral, and
agate.
17 Yahdah
and
the land of Israyl,
they were your merchants;
they traded in your market wheat of Minnith; in
Ammon, pannag; product
uncertain, honey, oil, and balm.
Although
Tyre
was a great and wealthy city, Yahweh also inspired Yechetzqyah to write
of her
destruction in:
Yechetzqyah
26:1-21—
1
In the
eleventh year, in the first day of the moon, the
word of Yahweh came to
me, saying:
2
Son of
man, because Tyre has said against Yerusalem; Aha! She is broken! The
gate to
the people has swung open to me; I will be replenished, now
that she is
laid waste;
3 This
is what Father
Yahweh says: Behold, I am
against you, O Tyre, and will
cause many nations to come up against you, just as
the sea
causes its waves to come up.
4 And
they will destroy
the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers;
I will also scrape
her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock.
5 It
will be a
place for the spreading of nets in the midst of the
sea, for I
have spoken, says Father Yahweh: it will become a plunder for
the nations.
6 And Tyre's
daughters; her cities and villages, which are
on the mainland,
will be slain by the sword; and they will know that I am
Yahweh.
7 For
this is
what Father Yahweh says: Behold, I will bring Nebuch-adnezzar
king of
Babylon, a king of kings, against Tyre from the north, with horses,
with
chariots, with horsemen, with an army and many people.
8 He
will slay
your daughters on the mainland with the sword; he will build
up a siege ramp
against you, build a wall against you, and raise up the buckler; shields
as
a defense, against you.
9 He
will direct
the blows of his battering rams against your walls, and with his axes
he will
break down your towers.
10 By
reason
of the abundance of
his
horses, their dust will
cover you; your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, of the
wheels,
and of the chariots, when he enters into your gates, as men enter a
city in
which a breach has been made.
11 With
the
hooves of his horses he
will tread down all your
streets; he will slay your people by the sword, and your mighty
obelisks of god (el) worship will
fall to the ground.
12 They
will make plunder
of your riches, and make a prey
of your merchandise; they will break down your walls, and destroy your
pleasant
houses; then they will lay your circles of Stones
Measured off
for Desolations, your sacred Poles, and the rubble from your
altars into
the midst of the sea.
13 I
will put an end to
the
voice of your songs; the
sound of your harps will be heard no more.
14 I will
make you like the top of
a
rock; you will be a
place to spread nets upon. You will be rebuilt no
more; for I,
Yahweh, have spoken, says Father Yahweh.
15 This
is
what Father Yahweh says
to
Tyre: Will the
isles not shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded
cry, when the
slaughter is made in the midst of you?
16 Then
all
the princes of the sea
will come down from their
thrones, lay aside their robes, and remove their embroidered garments.
They
will clothe themselves with trembling; they will sit upon the ground,
tremble every moment, and be astonished; appalled,
at
you.
17 They
will
take up a lamentation
over you, and say of you;
How you are destroyed, O city of renown, inhabited by men of the sea! She
was powerful in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who cause
their terror to
be on all who dwelled in it!
18 Now
will
the isles tremble in
the
day of your fall; yes,
the isles that are in the sea will be troubled at
your departure.
19 For
this
is what Father Yahweh
says: When I will make you
a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I will
bring up
the deep upon you, and great waters will cover you;
20 Then I
will bring you down with
those who descend into
the pit, with the people of ancient times, and will set you in the
earth
below—in places desolate from antiquity, with those who go
down into the pit—so
that you will never be inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of
the
living.
21 I
will make you a
terror,
and you will be
no more, though you are searched for, yet
you will never be found
again, says Father Yahweh.
We
read
in:
Yechetzqyah
27:18-27—
18
Damascus was
your merchant in the multitude
of the products you made, because of your great wealth of riches; trading
with you with the wine of Helbon and with white wool.
19 Dan
also,
and Yavan; Greece, traded with yarn from
Uzal; in Arabia for your wares: wrought iron,
cassia, and calamus were
traded in your market.
20 Dedan was your merchant
in saddlecloths for
riding.
21 Arabia
and
all the princes of
Kedar, they traded
with you in lambs, rams, and goats; in these they were your
merchants.
22 The merchants
of Sheba and Raamah; in Arabia,
were your merchants. They traded for your wares with the
choicest spices,
with all precious stones, and gold.
23 Haran,
Canneh, and Eden; in
Mesopotamia, the merchants
of Sheba; on the Euphrates, Asshur, and Chilmad; near
Baghdad, were your
merchants.
24 These were
your merchants in choice fabrics, in
blue clothes, in embroidered garments, in cedar chests of multicolored
apparel,
in strong twined cords; in these they traded with you.
25 The
ships
of Tarshish served as
carriers for your
merchandise. You were replenished, and made very glorious in the midst
of the
seas.
26 Your
rowers have brought you
into
great waters, but
the east wind has broken you in the midst of the seas.
27 Your
riches, your wares, your
merchandise, your oarsmen,
your pilots, your caulkers, the traders of your merchandise, and all
your men
of war who are in you, with all your company which is in your midst,
will fall
into the heart of the seas in the day of your ruin.
These
prophecies came to pass in detail, but not until 258 years had passed.
Yes,
Yechetzqyah had prophesied against Tyre in 590 b.c.e., but this
prophecy did
not come to pass until the year 332 b.c.e.—258 years after he
wrote this
prophecy against this great city.
I
repeat,
no mere
man can foretell future events. Many guess at them, but are always
proven wrong
as time goes by. However, Yechetzqyah, being inspired by the Super
Power Who
exists in heaven, was able to do what no mere man, working alone, can
do.
This
same
Creator Who inspired the Prophet Yechetzqyah to write of Tyre's
destruction,
also inspired a set of Laws to be written; Laws which would assure
peace for
all nations. The leaders of the nations would do well to take heed to
these
Laws, and apply them to the governments in existence today.
We
have a historical
record, showing that when these Laws were applied, taught earnestly,
and
enforced strictly, the nation obeying them had peace. The Prophet
Mosheh
(Moses) was inspired to write in:
Deuteronomy
4:5-10—
5 See,
I have
taught you statutes and judgments,
just as Yahweh my Father
commanded me, so that you may follow them in the land you are entering
to take
possession of.
6 Therefore, be
careful to observe and do them; for this is your
wisdom and your
understanding in the sight of the nations who will hear of
all these
statutes, and say: Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding
people.
7 What
other
nation is so great as to have their gods (elohim) with them, the way Yahweh
our Father is near us whenever we pray to him?
8 And
what other
nation is so great as to have such righteous statutes and judgments as
are in
all this body of Law which I
set in front of you this day?
9 Only
take heed
to yourself, and diligently keep yourself from forgetting the things
your eyes
have seen, nor let them depart from your heart all the days of your
life. And
teach them to your children and to your children's children.
10
Remember
the day you stood in
front of Yahweh your Father
at Horeb, when Yahweh said to me: Gather the people to Me, and I will
let them hear
My Laws, so they may learn to reverence Me
all the days they live on
the earth, and so they may teach their children.
Knowing
what
a wonderful treasure that the Law of Yahweh is, I can relate to King
Yoshiyah
when Hilkiyah the Priest found The Book of The Law
in The House of
Yahweh, and showed it to him, saying in:
II
Kings
22:11,13—
11 As
soon as
the king heard the
words of The Book of the
Law, he tore his clothes.
13 Go, inquire
of Yahweh
for me, for the people, and
for all Yahdah, about the words of this book that
has been found. The
judgment that Yahweh will bring concerning us will be greatly zealous,
because
our fathers have not obeyed the words of this Book to do according to
all that
is written concerning us.
The
world
today is in far worse shape than the nation of Israyl was at that time.
The
once Holy Land is now full of oppression and bloodshed; sin of all
kinds
abounds. The entire world is suffering curses from their sins. The
great
Prophet Isayah warned us of what will soon come to pass.
Isayah
24:1-6—
1 Before
Yahweh's very eyes, the earth is made empty and it
is made waste; the
face of it is perverted and its inhabitants scattered abroad;
2 And
it will
be: as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so
with his
owner; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so
with the
seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with him who takes
usury,
so with him who gives usury to him:
3 The
land will
be utterly emptied and utterly plundered, for it has come to pass that
this
judgment has been pronounced.
4 The
earth
mourns and fades away, the world mourns and fades away, and
the haughty
people of the earth languish.
5 The
earth also
is defiled because of the inhabitants of it, because they
have transgressed
the Laws, changed the ordinance, and broken the everlasting covenant.
6 Because
of
this, the curse has devoured the earth, and they who dwell therein are
desolate; therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few
men left.
The
Prophet
Isayah is not speaking specifically and exclusively to laymen, although
each individual
is responsible for his conduct before Yahweh. Isayah was inspired by
Yahweh to
speak to the preachers who turned from Yahweh's Way and prevented the
people
from the pursuit of righteousness and instruction in holiness. It was
these
so-called priests who changed Yahweh's Ordinances, and they are also
responsible for keeping the people from learning Yahweh's every Word.
Conviction
and
zeal in carrying out the Law of Yahweh is what we need to have now,
since the
troubles that the world faces are far greater at this time than at any
other
point in human history. We must develop the same conviction and zeal
that the
great Prophet Yeremyah had.
Yeremyah
1:17-19—
17 As for
you—get
yourself
ready! stand up, and speak to
them all that I command you. Do not break down because of
them, or I will
break you down in front of them.
18 For
behold, this day I have made
you a fortified city, an
iron pillar, and walls of bronze against the whole
land—against the kings of
Yahdah, against its princes, against its priests, and against the
people of the
land; am haeretz, landed gentry.
19 They
will
fight against you, but
they will not prevail
against you, for I am with you to deliver
you, says Yahweh.
The
world's
religious and political leaders today are in opposition to what the
righteous
Prophet Yeremyah stood up for, just as the leaders were in the day that
Yeremyah wrote those words.
It
doesn't
take a
brilliant person to look around us today and see that all nations are
suffering
from the results of breaking the Laws that our Creator gave to secure
peace and
joy for all.
In
every
nation,
Yahweh's Laws are being broken, and millions of people are suffering
the
consequences. War is a result of this Lawbreaking, along with crime,
sickness,
and disease. At this moment, all nations have at least one disease
epidemic on
their hands which seems, by all information gathered at this time, to
be
incurable. One disease epidemic, which is one hundred percent deadly,
is
spreading more rapidly than anyone ever anticipated. That disease is
called
AIDS. From the doctors' reports I have read, this scourge is continuing
to be
spread rapidly by millions of people worldwide who do not even know
they are
infected.
If
the
people had
been keeping the Laws of Yahweh, AIDS would never have been created,
yet alone
been given the opportunity to spread. If people would begin to keep the
Laws of
Yahweh today, this disease would never spread to another person.
There
is
another
disease that is being spread in the same way as AIDS, which is just as
deadly.
This disease is Hepatitis B, a viral disease whose complications
include
chronic liver disease and primary liver cancer. It may take two, three,
or
sometimes four decades for a person to die after the initial Hepatitis
B Viral
(HBv) infection. Nevertheless, this is spreading; it is also taking
thousands
of lives each year, all because of the breaking of the Laws of Yahweh.
Even
without the use
of the nuclear bombs which will soon be released upon the world,
civilization
would soon be brought to an end by the sexually spread viruses, which
are
rampant in the world at this time.
Isn't
it
time we
wake up to the fact that we need to start publishing the Laws of Yahweh
to all
nations? Isn't it time to proclaim these Laws of prevention, in order
to stem
the flow of death and suffering that the breaking of these Laws cause?
Isn't it
time to bring these Laws forth, making them the first line of defense
against
these diseases, rather than allowing Lawbreakers to teach ignorant
people to
use condoms?
Isn't
it
time
that we teach these Laws of Yahweh diligently to our children,
worldwide? Isn't
their blood upon our hands for allowing these deadly diseases and
destructive
weapons to proliferate, when we can stop it?
All
nations'
leaders have always talked peace, while they have prepared for war. The
time
has come when such deadly weapons have been developed, due to modern
technology, that the war waged with them has the capability of
completely
destroying all life on earth.
The
day is soon
coming when the prophecies which the Prophet Yahyl spoke against the
world will
come to pass. These prophecies are as certain to come to pass as all
the other
prophecies of Yahweh, which have already taken place.
As
human
beings,
we tend to think that we are safe in the particular nation in which we
live. We
take little notice of the fact that even the small nations have the
technology
and expertise to manufacture twenty megaton and larger warheads. With
guided
missiles to carry these nuclear weapons, these small nations could
destroy many
parts of the world.
If
a
twenty
megaton nuclear missile was dropped on the Hebrew University in
Jerusalem, in
less than one-millionth of a second, classroom temperatures would rise
to 150
million degrees Fahrenheit—more than four times the
temperature of the center
of the sun. The college would be vaporized, leaving a crater 600 feet
deep and
nearly a mile and a half in diameter.
For
a
distance of
five miles from the college, nothing would be left. Those who saw the
flash of
light would be vaporized, houses would explode into raging flames,
concrete
surfaces would disintegrate, and glass would melt. Within eighteen
seconds, the
shock wave, traveling at 300 m.p.h., would suffocate those who had
managed to
find shelter below ground level. Ten seconds later, the wind reverses
would
generate a firestorm which would devastate an area of about one million
acres.
Seven
to
eight
miles away, glass fragments would hurtle through the air at 135 m.p.h.,
all the
trees would burn and then be uprooted by the shock wave, bridges would
collapse, cars would be smashed, and wooden buildings would burn.
Within half
an hour those still surviving below ground level would be suffocated by
the
firestorm.
At
a
distance of
sixteen miles, lawns and leaves would ignite, paint would evaporate,
people
would be blinded and their skin charred, and cars would collide as
their tires
and upholstery burst into flames. The shock wave would tear the roofs
from
houses and blow the walls in.
At
a
distance of
twenty miles from the center of the blast, exposed skin would suffer
third-degree burns, and combustible material would burst into flames.
When the
mushroom cloud had stabilized, covering about forty miles in all
directions,
radioactive particles would begin to settle to earth, raising the
radiation
level to an excess of 4,000 to 5,000 rads/hour, and delivering a lethal
dose
within seven to eight minutes.
These
calculations are not mine: they are from the Veterans for Peace, Inc.
But these
calculations coincide with calculations from other branches of the U.S.
Government. Please note, however, that these calculations are only
based upon a
twenty megaton nuclear blast, which is a very small blast, compared to
the
arsenal of nuclear weapons owned by many nations today.
We
are no
longer
facing Goliath with a sword or a spear; we are facing world troubles at
their
worst. We are now facing what the Prophet Yahyl proclaimed that we
would face,
saying in:
Yahyl
2:2-3,31—
2 A
day of darkness
and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, like the
morning clouds spread upon the mountains. A great
people, and a strong;
there has not ever
been the like, nor will there be any more after
it, to the years of many
generations.
3 A fire
devours in front of them, and behind them a flame
burns. The land is like the garden of
Eden in front of them, but behind them a desolate
wilderness; yes, and nothing will escape them.
31 The
sun
will be turned into darkness,
and the moon
into blood, before the great and the wonderful day
of Yahweh comes.
There
is
no
use in deceiving ourselves. We are at the point where the prophets said
we
would be in this generation. The longer we refuse to seek the help of
our
Creator the worse our situation will become.
The
governmental
and religious leaders of all nations need to make a combined effort to
do as
the Prophet Chagyah was inspired to relate in:
Chagyah
1:5-9—
5
Now
therefore this is what Yahweh of hosts says: Consider your
ways!
6
You have
sown much, but bring in little; you eat, but do not have enough; you
drink, but
you are not filled with drink; you clothe yourselves, but there is none
warm;
and he who earns wages, earns wages just to put into
a bag with holes.
7
This is
what Yahweh of hosts says: Consider your ways!
8
Go up to
the mountains, and bring timber, and build the house,
so that I may take
pleasure in it and be glorified, says Yahweh.
9 You
looked for
much, but, lo, it came to little; and when you
brought it home, I blew upon
it. Why? says Yahweh of hosts: Because of my house which lies
waste,
while each man is busy with his own house.
There
is
an
absolutely amazing prophecy; a prophecy which Yechetzqyah was inspired
by
Yahweh to write. In it, he gives the measurements of the third Temple.
These
measurements have never been used before, in the manner in which
Yechetzqyah
gave them. The first Temple was built under Solomon; the second Temple
was
rebuilt under Zerubbabel; which was later refurbished by Herod. What
makes this
prophecy amazing is the fact that this prophecy reveals that
Yechetzqyah saw
the Temple Mount in our day, with a building which sits upon it at the
present
time.
Not
only
this,
Yechetzqyah's prophecies show us a definite way to peace, with a
peaceful
solution to the problems now existing between the Jews and the Arabs.
Please
notice carefully as this great prophecy unfolds in the following pages.
As you
read, please keep in mind that Yechetzqyah's prophecies were inspired
by
Yahweh. Therefore, Yechetzqyah's prophecies, written on the following
pages,
will be just as sure to come to pass as the prophecy that Yechetzqyah
wrote
about the city of Tyre.
When
studying Yechetzqyah's
prophecies, it becomes very clear that they were inspired by a Superior
Being.
No human being could make prophecies such as those in Yechetzqyah
26,
concerning a powerful city to be doomed to destruction, and then bring
it to
pass in detail over 250 years later.
We
should
be able
to see that Yechetzqyah was inspired by Yahweh to write these
prophecies and
that he was given the measurements of the Temple by Yahweh.
Through
the
Scriptures, we know:
These
Temple measurements were inspired by Yahweh;
These
measurements were not used by Ezrayah (Ezra), Nehemyah (Nehemiah), or
Zerubbabel when they returned to rebuild the Temple after the
Babylonian
Captivity;
These
measurements were not used by Herod when he refurbished the Temple;
These
measurements were given to us, to be used to build the Temple now.
In
the
1980s
and 1990s, I traveled to Israyl, along with three other engineers, to
study the
design of the Temple mount along with the design that Yechetzqyah gave
in his
magnificent prophecy.
Many
scholars
have thought that Yechetzqyah made a mistake as he wrote down some of
the
measurements; that he was just going by memory, or trying to remember
the
measurements of Solomon's Temple. They claim his memory failed him, and
he
wrote the measurements wrong. That is not the case at all! First, we
can see
from the magnificent prophecy that Yechetzqyah wrote, that it was a
prophecy to
take place at a later date. More than that, those prophecies are for
our day!
Yechetzqyah
shows
us the Temple Mount as it appears in this day, not in his day or when
he was
alive. Yechetzqyah 40:1-5 shows that he was brought
to the Temple Mount
in our day, in our generation. The measurements that Yechetzqyah wrote
have
never been used before, but are to be used now, by this generation!
Yechetzqyah
40:1-5—
1 In
the
twenty-fifth year of our captivity, in the beginning of the year, in
the tenth day of the moon, in the fourteenth year
after the city had
fallen; in the selfsame
day the hand of Yahweh was upon me, and He took me there.
2 In
the visions
of Yahweh, He brought me into the land of Israyl, and set me
upon the greatly
exalted mountain; and on it, like a building
of a city on the
south.
3 When
he took
me there, then behold, a being; man-like, whose
appearance resembled
bronze. With a line of flax and a measuring reed in his hand, he stood
in the
clearing, or opening.
4 Then
the being
said to me: Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears,
and fix
your mind upon everything that I show you; for the purpose that I show this
to
you, were you brought here. Declare all that you
see to the house of
Israyl.
5 And
behold,
there was an adjoining separation; dividing
structure, around a Temple.
In the being's hand was a measuring reed six long cubits;
about 10 1/2
feet—each cubit; about 1 1/2 feet, with
a handbreadth; about 3
inches. So he measured the separation's width to
the structure, one
reed; about 10 1/2 feet, and the height; rise,
one reed.
It
is
possible for this generation to actually bring in the Kingdom of
Yahweh, and
stop the senseless bloodshed, oppression, and starvation which are
rampant in
this world. Even sickness and disease can be wiped off the face of the
earth by
this generation, as the prophets of old clearly showed.
The
prophets of old
show that this generation has the greatest opportunity ever offered to
mankind.
The job we are to do in this generation will be so great, it will be
spoken of
above the Exodus led by Mosheh.
Yeremyah
23:6-11—
6 In
His days
Yahdah will be saved, and Israyl will dwell safely; and this is the
Name that
He will proclaim to them—Yahweh
Tsidqenu: Yahweh our
righteousness.
7 Therefore
behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that they will no longer
say; as surely
as Yahweh lives who brought up the children of Israyl out of the land
of Egypt;
8 But they
will say; As surely as Yahweh lives who brought up and led the seed of
the
house of Israyl out of the protected place, and from all
countries where I
had driven them; and they will dwell in their own land.
9 My
heart is
broken within me because of the prophets; all my bones shake. I am like
a
drunken man; like a man whom wine has overcome, because of Yahweh, and
because
of His holy words; the Law and the Prophets.
10 For
the
land is full of
adulterers; those who turn
from following Yahweh to follow the gods (elohim). Because
of this curse
the land mourns; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up.
Their
conduct is evil, whose might is not right-
11 For
both
prophet and priest are
profane! Yes, even in My own
House I have found their wickedness! says Yahweh.
The
great
Prophet Yeremyah was speaking to us, in this generation. He was
speaking of the
things which Yahweh is making possible for us to do. This prophecy is
for our
generation, and our generation can fulfill these prophecies for our
days.
Yechetzqyah
was
among the captives being physically held in Babylon, just as Yechetzqyah
1:1 says. In the visions of Yahweh, he was brought to Israyl
and
set on the
Temple Mount, as it is seen today.
There
is
no
evidence that Yechetzqyah ever physically returned to Israyl during the
remainder of his life, but in the visions from Yahweh, he returned to
the
Temple Mount in our day, when another building was sitting on the
Mount, south
of where the Temple of Yahweh once stood. We see that a city building
or a
public building is standing there.
Yechetzqyah
40:2—
In the visions
of Yahweh,
He brought me into the land
of Israyl, and set me upon the greatly exalted mountain;
and on it,
like a building of a city on the south.
This
was
not
a city that Yechetzqyah saw, this was one single building—a
city building: a
public building! Yechetzqyah was set on the Temple Mount, and sitting
on the
Temple Mount was the Moslem Mosque at the south of the Temple. This was
all
Yechetzqyah could see, and that was exactly what he did see.
Yechetzqyah was
not speaking about the city of Jerusalem; there would be no need to
tell them
about seeing part of the city to the south. This was one single
building, which
was, in fact, strange to Yechetzqyah, because he had not seen this
building
before. No public building had ever stood there before, but in
Yechetzqyah's
vision, a public building was sitting south of the Temple!
The
building that
Yechetzqyah saw was none other than the Dome of the Rock Mosque, which
is
sitting on the Temple Mount at this time. This Mosque is to remain in
its same
location, with a dividing wall separating it from the rebuilt Temple.
This
is a
peaceful solution to building the Temple in this generation. There is a
viable
plan whereby both faiths, Moslem and Jewish, can worship side by side
in
privacy. Notice, there is a wall to separate the Temple from the
Mosque,
written in prophecy.
Yechetzqyah
40:5—
And
behold,
there was an adjoining
separation; dividing
structure, around a Temple...
In
Yechetzqyah's prophecy, the outer court was not rebuilt when the Temple
was
rebuilt. Yes, the rebuilt Temple sits right beside the Dome of the Rock
Mosque,
with only a dividing wall separating the Dome of the Rock Mosque from
the inner
court of the Temple. These measurements, given by Yechetzqyah, show
that this
dividing wall separating the Mosque from the inner court serves no
military
purpose, it only serves as a privacy fence.
Never
before in
the history of the Temple has the Temple been built without its outer
court,
but never before has there been a Mosque sitting on the Temple Mount.
Yahweh
shows us that neither the Arabs or the Jews need to be harmed and we do
not
need to fight over the Temple Mount. Yahweh is showing us that we can
and
should build the Temple on the vacant land where the Temple stood
before, and
that we should build a dividing wall to separate the Arab worshipers
from the
Jewish worshipers.
The
troubles
which are centered around the Middle East currently involve all
nations. Any
day now, these troubles could flare up beyond containment, risking
national
security everywhere. We are not merely facing the possibility of war
from the
nations which surround us, but are facing the reality that all the
world's
major powers will be involved as well. Every living being on the earth
is
facing the results of the mighty nuclear arsenals that have been
stockpiled by
nearly every nation on this planet. National leaders are fools to rely
upon the
``strength'' of their armies any longer.
Every
day
brings
destruction one step closer. We need Yahweh on our side now, and the
way to
have Yahweh on our side is to turn to the great Laws of Yahweh; then we
will
have peace.
Proverbs
16:6-7—
6 By
mercy
and truth iniquity
is purged; by reverence
for Yahweh, men depart from evil.
7 When a
man's ways please
Yahweh, He makes even his
enemies be at peace with him.
We
then
read
in:
Nachumyah
1:15—
Behold,
upon
the mountains the feet
of him who brings
glad tidings, who publishes peace! O
Yahdah, keep your appointed
Feasts; perform your vows. Then the wicked will no longer invade you; he
will be utterly cut off.
If
we
fail to
do this simple task now, we can only expect Zecharyah's prophecy to be
fulfilled in us, which says:
Zecharyah
7:12-13—
12 Yes,
they
made their hearts like
a hard adamant
stone, in order not to hear the Law and the words,
which Yahweh of hosts
had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets.
13 Just as I
called, and they would not hear,
so they called, and I would not hear, says Yahweh
of hosts!
I
said
earlier that the measurements given by Yechetzqyah have never been used
in any
Temple previously. I do not believe we should insult an inspired
prophet of
Yahweh by saying that Yechetzqyah made a mistake. Many of Yechetzqyah's
prophecies have been fulfilled in detail. We should realize these
measurements
were not used before, because they were written for our generation.
I
visited
Israyl
several times to work on these measurements. Working with me on this
project
are experts in the fields of engineering and construction, who also
visited
Israyl for this same purpose. We spent hundreds of hours working to lay
out the
exact pattern of the next Temple according to the exact measurements of
the
Temple prophesied by Yechetzqyah.
Yahweh
Himself
gave us these measurements. Yes, Yahweh inspired these men to see what
He had
inspired to be written for all the world to see.
I
want you to see
that these measurements exactly fit the area of vacant ground lying
north of
the Dome of the Rock, on the Temple Mount.
In
the
March/April 1983 issue of the Biblical Archeology Review,
Dr. Asher S.
Kaufman, in his article on pages 40-58: Where the Ancient
Temple of
Jerusalem Stood; Extant 'Foundation Stone' for the Ark of the Covenant
Is
Identified, has proven that the first and second Temples sat
exactly in
line with the Golden Gate: the east gate.
Below
is
a
diagram of the "First and Second Temples superimposed on the Temple
Mount
Platform," found on page 57 of Kaufman's article, showing a straight
line
running from the Golden Gate on the east, directly to the "Dome of the
Tablets,"
which now sits northwest of the Dome of the Rock. The Dome of the
Tablets, as
Dr. Kaufman has also proven, is the foundation stone upon which the Ark
of the
Covenant rested inside the Holy of Holies!
Yes,
as
Dr.
Kaufman has proven in this article, the original Temple site is
approximately
330 Feet (100 Meters) northwest of the Dome of the Rock. The Dome of
the Rock
was not built on the site of the Temple. The Dome of the Rock was built
south
of it.
The
next
thing one must understand is the fact that Yahweh has established a
pattern of
how to build the Temple. The same pattern has always been followed,
whether the
Tent of Meeting set up by Mosheh; the first Temple built under Solomon;
the
second Temple built by Zerubbabel; or Herod's refurbishing of the
second
Temple. The Scriptural dimensions have been given to us in these Last
Days,
through the Prophet Yechetzqyah, for the rebuilding of Yahweh's Temple
according to this same pattern.
When
Yechetzqyah
was given this vision of Yahweh for the Temple of these Last Days,
Yechetzqyah
saw this Temple just as it would be set up in our day. One of the first
things
which was confirmed to him was the measure which would be used for this
Temple:
the long cubit—a cubit plus a handbreadth.
Yechetzqyah
40:3,5—
3 When
he took
me there, then behold, a being; man-like, whose
appearance resembled
bronze. With a line of flax and a measuring reed in
his hand, he stood
in the clearing, or opening.
5 And
behold,
there was an adjoining separation; dividing structure, around
a Temple.
In the being's hand was a measuring reed six long
cubits; about 10 1/2
feet each cubit; about 1 1/2 feet, with
a handbreadth; about
3 inches. So he measured the separation's width to the
structure, one reed; about 10 1/2 feet, and the
height; rise, one
reed.
Yechetzqyah
43:13—
And these are the
measurements of the altar in the long
cubits; about 1 3/4 feet__the
long cubit being a cubit; about
1 1/2 feet, with a handbreadth; about 3 inches. And
the gutter was
one cubit deep, and one cubit wide,
with a border of one span; a
rim about 9 inches wide next to the edge of it all around;
and this was the
top of the altar.
In
Dr.
Kaufman's article, he established the length of the cubit used in the
construction of the second Temple as that of the median cubit; which
was
divided into six hand-breadths, a measure totaling 43.7 centimeters, a
length
of approximately 17.480 inches.
However, The
Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible, Volume 4, page 837,
under Weights
and Measures, gives us this information about Yechetzqyah's
cubit:
The
measuring reed of Ezekiel's escort in his visions extended in length
"six in
length" (Ezek. 40:5). The word "long" (RSV) is not in the Hebrew,
but
clearly the text implies that there was a short cubit, the more common
one, and
that Ezekiel's
cubit was this short one plus a handbreadth.
The length
of this cubit again is specified in Ezek. 43:13. If we take
the common
cubit, like the short Egyptian cubit, to consist of six palms,
Ezekiel's cubit
would be, like the long Egyptian cubit, seven palms, so that the
six-cubit
measuring reed would be seven ordinary cubits long. This
would be,
according to the foregoing calculation, 51.829 centimeters or 20.405
inches.
Therefore,
the
pattern used in building Yechetzqyah's Temple would be the same pattern
which
was established in the beginning by Yahweh for His House. The length of
each
cubit would be extended by one handbreadth, thereby making this Temple
a larger
structure.
The
foundation of
this Temple has already been laid; it is still intact!
Zecharyah
4:9—
The hands
of
Zerubbabel have laid
the foundation of
this House; his hands will also finish it. And you will know that
Yahweh of
hosts has sent me to you.
Yes,
the
elevations
and the land contouring have already been prepared by Yahweh. All that
remains
is minimal excavation of the existing courts to reach the foundation,
which has
already been laid.
The
foundation is
under the existing platform of the Temple Mount, waiting for the
construction
to begin. The Vestibule, Holy Place, and Most Holy Place are recorded.
The
altar is measured, the building on the west is measured, with the
Priests'
kitchens established, the Priests' rooms and singers' chambers are
designated,
etc. The entrances and exits of the people are written. All that
remains is to
begin!
We
read
in:
Yechetzqyah
43:10—
Son of
man,
show the house
to the house of Israyl, so
that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure
the
pattern.
The
word
translated pattern in the King James
Version, translated plan
in the New International Version, is word #8508 in
the Hebrew Dictionary
of Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, and means admeasurement,
i.e.
consummation—pattern, sum.
The
definition of
the word pattern, from this same dictionary, page
1042, shows:
pat.tern
n. patron, hence something to be imitated, pattern: see patron]2.
a
model or
plan used as a guide in making things; set of
forms
to the shape
of which material is cut for assembly into the finished article.
Therefore,
Yechetzqyah's Temple will have specific dimensions in fulfillment of
the plan
which Yahweh has given through prophecy.
Below
is the
diagram of Yechetzqyah's pattern; his plan which Yahweh gave to him,
superimposed on the Temple Mount platform. As you can see, the third
Temple is
a larger structure than the first and second Temples, due to the fact
that
Yechetzqyah's cubit was a larger cubit. As you can also see,
Yechetzqyah's
Temple measurements fit this area perfectly.
Then,
we
come
to the most conclusive evidence presented in the Scriptures that
Yechetzqyah
was standing on the Temple Mount in our day. This evidence is the fact
that the
outer court of the original Temple was not rebuilt in its entirety at
the time
Yechetzqyah's Temple is rebuilt.
Before
we
begin
going through the Scriptures themselves, I must inform you that
Yechetzqyah was
being led through this Temple complex by a being, who measured with the
reed of
six long cubits, and who admonished Yechetzqyah to write what he saw as
they
walked along.
The
first
place
they stood was on the Temple Mount, but the first place they began
measuring
was on the south. We find in:
Yechetzqyah
40:2,5—
2 In
the visions
of Yahweh, He brought me into the land of Israyl, and set me
upon the
greatly exalted mountain; and on it, like a building
of a city on
the south.
5 ...So
he
measured the separation's width to the structure, (to the Dome of the
Rock) one
reed; about 10 1/2 feet, and the height; rise,
one reed.
Yes,
on
the south
of the Temple Mount, where they were standing, was the Moslem Mosque
called the
Dome of the Rock. The separation's width to this structure was one
reed.
After
they
measured this separation to this structure, Yechetzqyah and the being
walked to
the East Gate: the Golden Gate, and began its detailed measurements, as
you may
read in Yechetzqyah 40:6-16.
After
this, they
proceeded to the outer court area of the Temple. We read in:
Yechetzqyah
40:17-19—
17 Then
he
brought me towards an outer
court area. And
behold, rooms; dwellings, and a pavement
being
constructed by the court all around; thirty rooms facing the pavement.
18 Now
the
pavement next to the inner
gates, was the
same as the length to the gates of the lower pavement.
19 Then
he
measured the width from
the forefront of the
lower gate to the outer front of the inner court, at the
separation, a
hundred cubits to the east; and to the north,
a hundred
cubits.
I
want to draw your attention to Yechetzqyah
40:19 to the fact that there are pavements measuring 100
cubits: about 175 feet,
in this outer court which only extend to the east and to the north! In
other
words: There is no pavement extending 100 cubits to the south, because
that is
where Yechetzqyah saw the Moslem Mosque standing!
The
diagram shows
this separation-pavement extending to the east and
to the north (Yechetzqyah
40:19), with the separation-retaining wall one reed from the
structure
(Dome of the Rock) on the south (Yechetzqyah 40:2,5).
Digressing
here,
and to corroborate the fact that the Dome of the Rock sits on the south
of the
Temple Mount, Dr. Kaufman points out in his article that the Mishnah
(Middot
2:1) states that the greater part of the outer court (Har Ha-Bayit) in
the
original Temple was on the south.
However,
in
Yechetzqyah's Temple, this area on the south only extends one reed,
about 10½
feet,
Do
you
realize
what this means? This means that the Dome of the Rock was built on what
is
known as the south outer court area. Yes, there are pavements extending
only on
the east side and the north side. There is no pavement on the west
side,
because the building (with the Priests' kitchens) will take up this
area, just
as Yechetzqyah 41:12 states. There is no pavement
on the south side,
because that is where the Moslem Mosque sits!
All
of
these
measurements have been checked over and over. We do have the exact
measurements
of Yechetzqyah's Temple: The Excavations, the Gates, the Courts, with
the
Vestibule, the Holy Place, and the Most Holy Place, all according to
this
prophecy inspired by Yahweh, and according to its exact Scriptural
dimensions.
Yahweh
has
given
us these measurements. We, The House of Yahweh, have these
measurements. They
are ready. Let us begin this momentous task to rebuild the Temple of
Yahweh for
these Last Days.
In
this
article, you have seen the plain, simple plan to bring peace, not just
to the
Middle East, but to all the world. This plan, although written
thousands of
years ago, is viable for our time, a simple solution for peace for this
generation.
Chagyah, the same prophet who urged the people to rebuild the Temple,
was
inspired to write the following for these Last Days:
Chagyah
2:6-9—
6 For
this is
what Yahweh of hosts says: Once again, in a little while, I will shake
the
heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry land;
7 And
I will
shake all nations, and the most desired things of all the heathen will
come;
and I will fill this house with glory, says Yahweh
of hosts.
8 The
silver is
Mine, and the gold is Mine, says Yahweh of hosts.
9 The
glory of
this latter House will be greater than the glory of
the former, says
Yahweh of hosts; and in this place I will give peace, says Yahweh of
hosts.
This
generation can be the one to bring peace to this planet. You, as a
leader, can be
the historical figure who does the Will of Yahweh in bringing back the
Temple.
This could be the biggest peace project ever ventured in the history of
mankind, simply because of the magnitude of the war which all nations
now face.
The outcome of the nuclear war which lies ahead is that there will be
few
survivors.
I
urge you
to do
your part in promoting the rebuilding of the next Temple. Write to the
leaders
of your nations and demand that a peaceful solution be found for
building the
Temple in Jerusalem. Contact The House of Yahweh for further
information.
The
Temple
that
Yahweh inspired through Yechetzqyah, can be built in the peaceful
manner which
Yahweh revealed to us. We can begin this simple step now to bring peace
to
Israyl and to the world.
