Yahweh Will Protect His House
Psalm 91:1. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High at Abel will abide under the shadow of the Almighty… I wrote a book back in the 70s called The Mark of the Beast. I covered this Scripture in that book way back then and told you what was coming.
There's a Scripture in Galatians that the Christians twisted in the King James Version to say the Feast days are shadows. They make out like the Feasts are just shadows of something, so you don't have to keep them. They say the Feasts have nothing to do with Jesus and the cross. The Christians try to use that Scripture to do away with the Feast days.
I knew that Scripture wasn't saying to do away with the Feast days. It's saying that the Feasts are a shadow. If they're a shadow, it's Yahweh's shadow because they're Yahweh's Feast days. Yahweh says this shadow is going to protect you from things to come. He warns you not to let people take them away from you.
Why would Yahweh's protection be connected with the Feast days? You have to remember the other Scriptures. Deuteronomy says to go to the place Yahweh chooses to place His Name and there rejoice in learning His Laws and prophecies. You rejoice in learning, not barbecuing or getting drunk. That's what people think of when they think of enjoying the Feasts. They didn't become intoxicated; they drank a little for their stomach's sake. That's the Law they learned. The people of Yahweh didn't get drunk. They handled alcohol with great care, like they did with all the Laws of Yahweh.
You learned instructions on the Law from Yahweh that will keep you from committing fornication and getting cardiovascular disease, cancer, tuberculosis and all the other things that are increasing now. You learned them at Yahweh's Feast.
It was at the Feast where you learned the Law of the red heifer. Do you realize that Law was what protected the Hebrw people even after they turned away from Yahweh? Even after they turned from Him, the water from the ashes of the red heifer was still in their bodies. It protected the Hebrews from the Black Plague and history proves that. History shows they were protected and none of them died. The world was amazed at that.
Think of the knowledge you get at the Feasts. They're the shadow of Yahweh, which overshadows you. Do you remember how it says Holy Spirit overshadowed Miriam, the mother of Yahshua? It overshadowed her; it took over her body. It meant her whole life was geared to the service of Yahweh.
This is what you see in Psalms. You have to put these Scriptures together and see what they mean. Then you can see a total overview of what is going on and the great Plan Yahweh has.
This shadow is overshadowing you now too. Holy Spirit comes from keeping Yahweh's Laws, studying His prophecies and studying about the job that you can do in the future.
The Feast days are the shadow of the Almighty. The House of Yahweh is the secret place. It's called that throughout the Holy Scriptures in Isayah, Yeremyah, Yechetzqyah and other places.
Verse 2, We say to Yahweh: You are our refuge and our fortress!… You better say that because there is no other power that can protect you from the things that are coming. Only Yahweh can protect you through these days to come. …You are our Father in You we will trust!… You better trust in Him.
Verse 3, Surely He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome… That's the same word in Revelation 12:2. …deadly, pestilence… Pestilence means disease epidemics. Yahshua talked about that also.
You have to get the time period Psalms is referring to. It's speaking about the same deadly pestilence that Yahshua mentioned in Mattithyah 24, which means it's the same time period. This is the time period that brings forth the great earthquake. It's not just any earthquake or a bunch of earthquakes, there's a great earthquake.
Did you know that yesterday was the 100th anniversary of the San Francisco earthquake, which killed 26,000 people? They're expecting another earthquake and they say it will be far worse. The seismologists know it. Do you know the least likely place on the face of the earth where an earthquake would take place? Abilene, Texas is the least likely place. We have newspaper articles with the studies done to prove that.
Verse 4, He will cover you with His feathers… That is, the shadow. …and under His wings… That is, the tallit like you see on the two messengers on the Ark of the Covenant.
…will you trust. His truth will be your shield and buckler… To hold you firmly.
Verse 5, You will not be afraid of the terror of night, nor of the arrow that flies by day.
Verse 6, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noon-day… When the sun becomes hot, it causes the dead bodies to start rotting.
Verse 7, A thousand will fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand… This is a prophecy that's going to take place. …but it will not come near you… You have that protection if you turn to Yahweh and stay strong with Yahweh.
Verse 8, Only with your eyes you will look and you will see the reward of the wicked… Now, this is talking about a time of great pestilence, the greatest time of pestilence ever.
Verse 9, Because you have made Yahweh your refuge. Because you have made the Most High your House; The House of Yahweh;
Verse 10, No evil will befall you, nor will any plague… Speaking of plagues. The U.N. is telling you now that ready or not, the plagues are coming. They're saying these plagues are coming and they're telling you to store food. They just started telling you a few months ago to store food; we told you fifteen, twenty or twenty-five years ago to do it.
…nor will any plague come near your dwelling… Do you see that? No plague will come near your dwelling, which means you're in the protected place. It won't get near the protected place.
I've shown you how the wind currents have kept the Mad Cow disease away from Texas so far. The wind currents come in from the west, go up around Texas and drop down on the other side. Mad Cow has hit Louisiana and other places east of Texas, as well as places to the north and west, but it hasn't gotten into Texas. We can already see how Yahweh has protected this place.
Verse 11, For He will give His malakim charge concerning you…
Verse 13, You will tread upon the lion and adder. The young lion and the dragon… This is speaking of demons and those who follow Satan; it's compared to Revelation 12.
Verse 14, Yahweh says: Because you have set your love upon Me… You have to love the Word of Yahweh enough to get rid of everything that keeps you from being like Yahweh, which means getting rid of the world and the damnable worldly music that fills and rots your minds and condemns you to death. It means getting rid of television and television shows that push sex into your mind to where it takes over your whole body and that stupidity is all you can think of. Get rid of them and here's the promise of Yahweh.
Verse 14, Yahweh says: Because you have set your love upon Me, I will deliver you; cause you to escape. I will set you on high… That is, He will set you above everything His fingers have made. …because you know My Name.
People have used the Name Yahweh for years. Several assemblies use the Name of Yahweh, but they don't know the Name of Yahweh. His Name is 613 Laws. You don't know Yahweh until you start understanding and keeping those Laws; that's how you know the Name. Being able to pronounce "Yahweh" is not knowing the Name; the Laws are His Name. You know His Name; you learned it at The House of Yahweh.
…because you know My Name… We'll read that again in another Scripture that shows us this same time period and the Work we're being protected to do.
Verse 15, You will call Me, and I will answer you. I will be with you in trouble; I will deliver you, and honor you.
Verse 16, With long life…
Back to verse 14. …because you know My Name… Let's go to Revelation 3. Remember, he who says he knows Yahweh and doesn't keep His commandments is a liar; you don't know Him. The people who only use the Name Yahweh don't really know His Name because they don't come to His House where He chooses to place His Name and 613 Laws. The Laws were the blessing given to Abraham.
Revelation 3:7. And to the malak… That is, the messenger. He's talking to me; this is written to me personally. …of the congregation… The congregation is you; that's speaking to you. You are the congregation, my congregation. Yahweh shows you are my congregation; you're all my children. Praise Yahweh. You will be my children throughout all eternity. We'll all be working together.
…of The House of Yahweh in Philadelphia… Brotherly love. You have to know the other Scriptures to know what brotherly love is. Remember, in I Yahchanan he tells you that the love of Yahweh is keeping His Laws? That's how you know His Name and how you know love. You don't have love if you don't keep the Laws of Yahweh.
Remember, Yahshua said if you commit fornication or adultery in your mind, you've done them already and sinned against your body and mind. Those things affect your body just by listening to them being promoted and absorbing them in.
…These things says He Who is holy, He Who is true, He Who has the key of David… That is, full authority. …He Who opens and no man shuts, and shuts and no man opens:
Verse 8, I know your works… I know what you're doing. This is Yahshua's testimony to you sitting in this House. He says He knows your works; He's fully aware of everyone's Works right now. His door is open and He's fully in contact one hundred percent with His House.
…Behold, I have set before you an open door… Yahshua is the One Who has set this open door. …and no man can shut it… Remember, authority was given to Yahshua by Yahweh Himself to set this open door in front of you. This was the job Yahweh gave to Yahshua in this time period.
…for you have a little strength… A very little strength. …and have kept My Word… He's testifying to you. We have kept His Word. …and have not denied My Name… That is, His Laws. We don't deny Yahweh's Laws; we stand up for them. We even call out with the Names Yahshua and Yahweh. We keep Yahweh's Laws; that's how we actually know His Name. We have not denied Yahweh's Name by breaking His Laws.
If you break Yahweh's Laws, you deny Yahshua's Name also and Yahshua said He would deny you to His Father. Yahshua will say, "Get away from Me, you who work iniquity. I don't know you; you're certainly not from My House." All these Scriptures go together and fit together neatly like a puzzle.
Verse 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 worship demons, as Revelation 12 shows. …but they attempt to deceive by falsehood—behold, I will appoint them for the purpose of worshipping in the presence of your footstool, and they will understand that I loved you… They're going to see that very clearly in the next few months. Yahweh is going to portray to all the world who His House is and He's going to say "Hands off." We'll be protected, which is why we're going to be hated so much in this time period.
Verse 10, Because you have kept the word of My patience, I also will keep you from the hour… He's going to keep you from that hour. …of temptation, which will come upon all the world, to test… That is, to make an example out of; that's what that word means. It's putting their ideology on trial for all the universe to see. The word test means to put their way on exhibit so all can see what their way brings. Hold your place and turn over to II Corinthians. We have an example of that word there.
II Corinthians 13:5. Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves!… The word He used in Revelation for test means the same thing in this verse. Yahweh is going to put their way of life to the test or on exhibit for all the universe to see.
In Deuteronomy 30, Yahweh says He calls heaven and earth to witness that He has set before us life and death, blessings and curses. The world has chosen death and cursings. The members of The House of Yahweh are the only ones on earth at this time who Yahweh has brought out of this world to choose life and blessings. The blessings are brought through His Law.
Go back to Revelation. Yahweh says He will keep you from that hour when they bring themselves down. You won't suffer because He's going to protect you from that hour or that time. That word hour actually means time. We're in that time now. Yahweh will keep you from that hour or that time period, which is the three and a half years that we're about two years into at this time.
Revelation 3:9. … to test those who dwell upon the earth… In verse 7, He speaks to the Philadelphia group. In verse 8, He says He knows your works and sets before you this open door. If you remember, Psalm 91 said Yahweh was going to protect us. He says the same thing here.
With that in your mind, go to Malakyah 4. Malakyah speaks of the same time and talks about the great curse that is going to devour the earth. He talks about the burning that is going to take place.
Malakyah 4:1. For, behold, the day comes that will burn like an oven; and all the proud, yes, and all who do wickedly… All who break the Law. …will be stubble—the day that comes will burn them up, says Yahweh of hosts; and it will leave them neither root nor branch… What this is saying is that the only ones who are going to be left alive are the two billion people who come out and turn to Yahweh. That's the huge number we see in Revelation. All the rest are going to destroy themselves.
The people are going to be left without root or branch. Now, how could Yahweh resurrect them without the roots or the DNA being brought back with them? Yahweh can do that. The DNA can be changed. When the people are resurrected, they will be put back in the original and not the state they brought themselves to.
Back to Malakyah 4. Verse 1 shows they are left with neither root nor branch. We will resurrect them at the end of the thousand year period after you and I have cleaned up the earth with the assistance of about two billion people and a multitude of power from heaven, from Yahweh Shammah. We will clean up the earth; it will be a disaster at that time, I know. It will be burnt to a crisp and contaminated with radiation.
Verse 2, But for you who reverence My Name… You have to know all these Scriptures to know what reverencing Yahweh's Name means. You reverence His Name by keeping His Laws.
So for those who keep His Law, …the light… The 613 Laws of Yahweh. Deuteronomy 6:25 says it is your righteousness, your light, if you keep the Laws.
…of righteousness will arise with healing… The healing that is spoken of is near the end of the Great Tribulation when we're given the power of Yahweh. If you study the Hebrew words, you'll see it traces back to the time when we receive the power from Yahweh where we have power to move mountains, to govern the enzymes with which all the earth creeps, control the fish of the sea and so forth.
…and you will go out, leaping like calves released from the stall… It's a very joyous occasion when you receive this power and start to work in the Kingdom of Yahweh. This is what's promised to you. If you can hear me speaking, it's promised to you.
Verse 3, And you will tread down the wicked; for they will be ashes… The wicked will be turned to ashes. They will turn themselves to ashes. …under the soles of your feet… At that time period when this takes place. …in the day that I will do this… Give you this power. …says Yahweh of hosts.
Verse 4, Remember the Law of Mosheh… Why? Because it's all revealed in the Law of Mosheh. It starts in Genesis 1 when Yahweh says He will make man in His image and give him power. It's the same power spoken of here, which is righteousness. The power comes with righteousness. Deuteronomy 6:25 shows righteousness is keeping the Laws of Yahweh. It also shows you this throughout I, II, and III Yahchanan. Yahchanan says love is the keeping of Yahweh's Laws.
…Remember the Law of Mosheh… The Law is where these things are promised and it shows Yahweh's Plan. Don't forget His Plan. He's bringing it to pass and you're part of it.…My servant, which I commanded through him in Horeb for all Israyl, with the statutes and judgments… Remember all of it.
Verse 5, Behold, I will send Yliyah: the Law and the Prophets… He's sending them now. …which is The Strength… This great strength that He showed in verse 2 that He's going to give you. …of Yahweh, before the coming of the great and wonderful day of Yahweh… Before the great curses take place.
According to these prophecies, they're going to start using nuclear bombs on September 12th, 2006. That is not the end; September 12th is not the end. September 12th is when they will start using the nuclear bombs that will kill a third of the people, which are not nearly all the people who are going to be killed. The cities will be devastated; the land will be devastated. The beautiful Gardens of Eden before the bombs are going to look black as coal after them. The Scriptures show this is the time period we're facing.
Verse 6, And it will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers… The Law will do exactly what it says it will.
Yahweh shows His House will be protected because we keep Yahweh's Laws.
