"And when the wall has come down, will they not say to you, Where is the whitewash which you put on it?" -Ezekiel 13:12 When the Wall Falls Christianity today is in dire straits. The deceptions are so thorough that Ehyeh describes the situation as a wall standing between Himself and His people. The ones who built it keep plastering it with whitewash, coat upon coat, layer upon layer! As a result, those who Ehyeh considers His intimate group of people are completely blinded to the truth about His love, His justice, His wisdom, His purpose, and His prophecy. They are oblivious to the urgency of the times, and under the delusion of a false sense of peace. Who built this wall? Masonsbuild walls, and that's exactly what Ehyeh tells us! "And my hand will be against the prophets who see visions without substance and who make false use of secret arts: they will not be in the secret of my people, and they will not be recorded in the list of the children of Israel, and they will not come into the land of Israel; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord. Because, even because they have been guiding my people into error, saying, Peace; when there is no peace; and in the building of a division wall they put whitewash on it." -Ezekiel 13:9,10 (BBE). The CEV is also interesting: "I will turn against them and no longer let them belong to my people. They will not be allowed to call themselves Israelites or even to set foot in Israel. Then they will realize that I am the LORD God. Those prophets refuse to be honest. They tell my people there will be peace, even though there's no peace to be found. They are like workers who think they can fix a shaky wall by covering it with paint." God seems to be saying that up until this time, the secret societies have infiltrated His people, who are among "all tribes and nations and tongues" (that means everybody). Yes, every religion is infested with infiltrators, the "wicked and evil slave", as are religious discussion boards and blogs. But the first and foremost targets are Christianity and Islam, in that order. Who benefits from this? The Pharisee Zionists. They hate Jesus, they hate Ehyeh and they hate the commandments. The Vatican created Islam for the purpose of radicalizing it through their CIA military arm to set up the "Clash of Civilizations", leading to World War III. Their worst nightmare is for people to worship the True God in Spirit and Truth. Ehyeh is speaking to the whole world. His special property are spread out among all religions and are awaiting Our Father's wakening call through His Holy Spirit. The false prophets that He is referring to could very well include, let's say, someone who claimed to be an Apostle but would subvert the True Doctrine taught by Jesus. Haven't the Pauline churches kept patching false doctrines with more false doctrines, building lie upon lie, vision upon vision? In the third chapter of Revelation, the Congregation Jesus addressed at Laodicea represents the state of Churchianity as Jesus will find it upon His arrival. As we will see, there are no commendations for this Church as there were for the earlier churches, only a total rejection: "I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish that you were cold or hot. Therefore, since you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth." -Revelation 3:15,16. The overall condition of Christianity is languishing in a state of being doctrinally incorrect, with little zeal for the True Gospel. The over-confident churches have been misled: They have amassed immense material wealth but very little spiritual, soul-saving treasure in Heaven. Verse 17 says: "Because you say, 'I am wealthy, and have become rich, and have need of nothing'--and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked." Not a very good report is it? But now Jesus tells us what we need to do be refined: "I counsel you to buy from Me gold having been tried by fire, so that you may become rich; and white robes, so that you may be clothed, and the shame of your nakedness may not appear; and eye salve, so that you may anoint your eyes, in order that you may see." The Good Shepherd now offers very encouraging words to everyone who believes that Jesus is the Son of God: "As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. Be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and I am knocking. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and I will dine with him, and he with Me. He that overcomes, I will grant to him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." Our Father Ehyeh is planning a similar awakening for the Jews, who have also been partitioned off from God by the deceptions of Talmudic Judaism. If you've read the previous article "Saul of Tarsus", then you know that the Jews are one step ahead of Christians in their recognition of Paul's agenda. Here's a quote from The Kingdom of the Spirit by David Ben-Gurion, first Prime Minister of Israel: "Unlike the cultures of Egypt and Babylon, Greece and Rome, Christianity was not foreign to Judaism. It stemmed from the Jewish people; its inspiration was from a Jew whose ideas belonged within the framework of the Jewish concepts of his day. The new faith was given its direction away from Judaism by Saul of Tarsus. Called Paul, he was the son of a Jewish citizen of Rome living in Syria. He was brought up in the spirit of Judaism and was a zealous Pharisee, but as a Diaspora Jew he had absorbed something of Hellenistic culture. Once a fanatical opponent of the Christians, he "saw the light," came to believe in Jesus as the Son of God, and gave new direction to the sect. His mission, he believed, was to the Gentiles, and he created a church opposed to Judaism. In the name of Jesus, we find it said, "I am not come to destroy [the law] but to fulfill." Paul, however, was determined to root out the law." Undoubtedly Eyheh's eternal and unfathomable wisdom will shine through by the outworking of events in the rapidly approaching final seven years of the age. The fall of Babylon the Great will include the fall of Satan's house of cards, the whitewashed wall, at the midpoint of the seven years. Satan will be exposed for all to see in the form of Lucifer the Antichrist, where he will have his counterfeit world kingdom for the 42 months, the time that God has allowed to decide the Great Legal Case. An interesting side note: The Hebrew/Aramaic for "wall" is: H7023: קירה קר קיר qîyr qir qîyrâhkeer, keer, kee-raw' From H6979; a wall (as built in a trench): - + mason, side, town, X very, wall. A House Divided Religion is man's attempt to find his Creator, and theology is the foundation upon which a religion is based. Christianity is the most divided religion on the entire globe with 40,000+ denominations, and according to Barrets Encyclopedia, they all "hate each other". "....Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth." -Luke 11:17. In order to find the truth, we can only look to one source: Jesus. There is no other voice that we are to follow. He chose 12 Apostles to be the foundation stones of His Kingdom. The names of the 12 Apostles are written on the gates of New Jerusalem, therefore we can trust the twelve to deliver the True Gospel to us as Jesus taught it. So the questions that we need to ask are: Who exactly are the twelve, and what did they preach? Are today's beliefs the same as they were then? Upon close inspection, the most glaring is the obvious distinction that there are two different gospels: The one the apostles taught and the one being preached today in the churches. In fact, the churches today are presenting a completely different savior! Look at what the New Agers are teaching versus the Bible: 1. BIBLE: Jesus is the Son of God. NEW AGE: Jesus is one of the Masters. 2. BIBLE: Saved by repentance and Jesus' blood atonement through the grace of God. NEW AGE: Achieve godhood through works. 3. BIBLE: Jesus is the ONLY way (salvation outside one's self). NEW AGE: Awake Christ consciousness within. 4. BIBLE: "Lucifer" or the "Shining One" is the Antichrist. NEW AGE: Lucifer is the true Son of God. 5. BIBLE: Worship GOD. NEW AGE: Worship the CREATION. 6. BIBLE: Man was created. NEW AGE: Physical man evolved, spiritual man has always existed. 7. BIBLE: God is not part of creation. NEW AGE: God is part of creation (Pantheism, Panentheism). 8. BIBLE: Teaches resurrection. NEW AGE: Teaches REINCARNATION. 9. BIBLE: The WORD is truth. NEW AGE: Truth is WITHIN. 10. BIBLE: Teaches us to wait for the second coming of Christ which will be visible to all. His coming in glory is the blessed hope. NEW AGE: Waits for the (Cosmic Christ) Maitreya who will assist with the establishment of a one world government, monetary system, and religion. 11. BIBLE: Turn from sin. NEW AGE: Turn from ignorance, THERE IS NO SIN. 12. BIBLE: Become Christlike through sanctification. NEW AGE: Discover YOUR OWN DIVINITY. 'Christian' New Age Strategy for Reprogramming YOU: 1. Present palatable versions of TARGET BELIEFS 2. DISMANTLE the students' previous beliefs (vilify Christianity) 3. BLEND NEW BELIEFS with science to add credibility 4. REDEFINE WORDS to fit new beliefs 5. REWRITE history 6. IMMERSE STUDENTS in enticing forms of the new beliefs 7. USE TARGET BELIEFS to answer questions answered by former beliefs 9. Demand PURITY New Agers are in the process of 'revitalizing' Christianity with mysticism. This very interesting quote really sums it all up: "REVITALIZED NEW AGE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES as well as MASONIC LODGES will be used for purposes of giving MASS PLANETARY INITIATIONS." -C. Cumbey, Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow, p.140. We also saw the infiltration of Gnosticism and Mithraism into Christianity. How did the deception become so thoroughly entrenched? Is it possible that our Bibles have not only been tampered with, but also include books that were not inspired by God? Would God allow such a thing? Who decided the Bible's canon anyway? Just as the Old Testament, the development of the New Testament canon was a gradual process. According to the Catholic Encyclopedia, on Canon of the New Testament: "The idea of a complete and clear-cut canon of the New Testament existing from the beginning, that is from Apostolic times, has no foundation in history. The Canon of the New Testament, like that of the Old, is the result of a development, of a process at once stimulated by disputes with doubters, both within and without the Church, and retarded by certain obscurities and natural hesitations, and which did not reach its final term until the dogmatic definition of the Tridentine Council." (Council of Trent.) Of the canon, Wikipedia says: "These lists, or canons, have been developed through debate and agreement by the religious authorities of those faiths. Believers consider these canonical books to be inspired by God or to express the authoritative history of the relationship between God and his people. Books excluded from a particular canon are considered non-canonical — however, many disputed books considered non-canonical or even apocryphal by some are considered Biblical apocrypha or Deuterocanonical or fully canonical, by others. There are differences between the Jewish and Christian canons, and between the canons of different Christian denominations. The differing criteria and processes of canonization dictate what the communities regard as the inspired books." "The Biblical canon is the set of books Christians regard as divinely inspired and thus constituting the Christian Bible. Though the Early Church used the Old Testament according to the canon of the Septuagint (LXX) [12], the apostles did not otherwise leave a defined set of new scriptures; instead the New Testament developed over time....The writings attributed to the apostles circulated amongst the earliest Christian communities. The Pauline epistles were circulating in collected form by the end of the first century AD. Justin Martyr, in the early second century, mentions the "memoirs of the apostles," which Christians called "gospels" and which were regarded as on par with the Old Testament." The Apostles and other disciples of Jesus wrote many letters and books that were arbitrarily left out of the Bible. While it is true that many of them are spurious and illegitimate, some of them are in full agreement with what we know about Jesus' teachings, and are recognized by scholars as genuine. They come under the heading of "Early Christian Writings". For example, verse 12 of the Gospel of Thomas says: "The disciples said to Jesus, 'We know that you are going to leave us. Who will be our leader?' Jesus said to them, 'No matter where you are you are to go to James the Just, for whose sake heaven and earth came into being.'" James the Just was the half-brother of Jesus. They grew up together, and James was an eyewitness to the ministry and death of the Son of God. Ehyeh created the Garden of Eden, and inside it He placed the Tree of Life and the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. He did this to test Adam and Eve's faithfulness to His commands to seek only HIM for advice and direction. He allowed His own creation, in His own garden, to become corrupted. Could He have allowed the same thing to happen to His written Word, as a test to see if we will seek only Him for guidance and truth in all things? In this regard man has failed miserably, and refused to recognize that corruption even exists. They have been deceived in the same way as our first parents. They have eaten the forbidden fruit. Ehyeh says that the churches in the last days are whores, and calls them Babylon the Great: A mother harlot with many daughters. This is fitting, because they are completely filled with corruptions, deceptions and lies. Ninety percent of them are not following the Gospel of Jesus, but another gospel. What is that gospel, and who or where did it come from? You will find the answer to that shocking! Today's Churches are Built on Paul Under "Saul of Tarsus" the Jewish Encyclopedia says: "The actual founder of the Christian Church as opposed to Judaism; born before 10 C.E.; died after 63. The records containing the views and opinions of the opponents of Paul and Paulinism are no longer in existence; and the history of the early Church has been colored by the writers of the second century, who were anxious to suppress or smooth over the controversies of the preceding period, as is shown in the Acts of the Apostles and also by the fact that the Epistles ascribed to Paul, as has been proved by modern critics, are partly spurious (Galatians, Ephesians, I and II Timothy, Titus, and others) and partly interpolated." Ninety percent of the churches today are teaching a Paul-based doctrine rather than the teachings of the Great Rabbi Jesus that they profess to follow. Because of that, there are legitimate questions being raised about Paul these days. Saul of Tarsus was a Pharisee and a persecutor of Christians. He approved of the stoning of Stephen, and after his "vision" and subsequent conversion, still almost everyone did not believe him and was afraid of him. John said: " Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." The natural question then becomes: Was Paul's "vision" from Jesus or someone else? We know it was one or the other and not a product of Paul's mind. Jesus said: "By their fruits you will recognize them." As we have seen with other inspired men like Martin Luther and Charles Taze Russell, certain lost truths may be revealed by men who have also been assigned, whether wittingly or not only God knows, to bring in false doctrines and interpretations. We must remember that according to Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares, both would grow together until the harvest. The "seeds" that were planted were the "Word of God" (Luke 8:11). Someone came afterwards and planted false words producing weeds. Paul wrote half of the Christian Greek Scriptures, but as mentioned earlier, who selected the canon? Paul's followers were already dominating Christianity before the canon was settled, and none of the original twelve Apostles had any say in it. Paul's epistles contain many scriptural truths that are of great benefit for us today. The problem is that Paul's "special insights" supposedly received by revelation in a vision are often contradictory of Jesus and the Apostles, and yet Paul's teachings have superceded them all. In addition, Paul's words, more than anyone else, have been misinterpreted, interpolated, and twisted out of context. Whatever the case may be, where Paul appears to directly contradicts our Lord and Master Jesus Christ and His intimate group of Apostles, do we never question the writings and blindly follow them? Would you continue reading this article if I proclaimed that anyone teaching any other doctrines should be accursed forever? What if I said that this would apply to even an angel from heaven? What if I said that all my insights were given to me by Jesus in a vision while I was driving on the expressway? That appears to be exactly what Paul said at Galatians 1:8,9-- "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, were to be a preacher to you of good news other than that which we have given you, let there be a curse on him. As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man is a preacher to you of any good news other than that which has been given to you, let there be a curse on him." Some feel that Paul was speaking for him and the Apostles as a unit, but according to the book of Acts (which was written by Paul's traveling secretary Luke, a trustworthy writer but apparent follower of Paul) Paul had very little to do with the Apostles. They seldom came in contact with each other. Paul proclaimed that Jesus made him the "Apostle to the nations" during his road vision. Scripture indicates that Jesus gave the job to Peter, yet Paul is the foundation of most modern institutionalized churches. The real Christian Congregation consists of the followers of Jesus themselves, not a building made by human hands. Christ is the head of it, not Paul. Paul had little regard for the teachings of Jesus, or the role of women in his congregations. Paul established his own congregations and then presided over them through his Epistles. He instructed them on how to act and think, according to his endless decrees. He never builds upon Jesus' teachings, but then he begs us to follow him! Paul teaches that Jesus was impaled, and that He had a brother named James. That is the extent of Paul's historical teaching about Jesus, and that fits in well with Roman Catholic doctrine centered on a Christ crucified, wearing idols of Christ crucified around their necks. Even Satanists believe in a crucified Christ! Jesus taught us to feed the poor, but Paul said, "For even when we were with you we gave you orders, saying, If any man does no work, let him not have food. For it has come to our ears that there are some among you whose behavior is uncontrolled, who do no work at all, but are over-interested in the business of others." (2 Thessalonians 3:10) Jesus did not say to feed the poor unless they are meddling in the affairs of others. Paul pontificates endless rules of conduct, but from the other side of his mouth he says we are free in Christ! The idea is not to reject the Bible as untrustworthy or uninspired, we know through research that by and large it was the Infallible Word of God before Satan corrupted it. It is also not my intent to suggest rejecting Paul as a brother, because the Apostles did not do so. The possibility that we must remain open to is that God allowed Paul's conjecture and for the development of a conspiracy within the Bible, for us to discern the narrow road from the broad and spacious one. Ehyeh is looking for those who will follow only His voice and that of His Son Jesus. Just as Judas the Betrayer was allowed to infiltrate the original twelve and partake of the Lord's Evening Meal, we must be open to the possibility that the Bible itself contains such an infiltrator. Did God warn of such a thing? "I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven against the LORD." How about Jesus? "I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?" -John 5:43,44. The Pope of Rome instructs "his" church to be followers and imitators of himself. As followers of Jesus we would never tell someone to follow us. Paul says: "Brothers, be imitators together of me, and mark those who walk this way, for you have us for a pattern." (Philippians 3:17) Of anyone not following himself, Paul says: "And I exhort you, brothers, to watch those making divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which you have learned, and avoid them." (Romans 16:17) This is exactly how religious cults operate! The religious leader lays down his decrees that his flock can never question, or they will be ex-communicated, disassociated, disfellowshipped, and shunned by friends and family as if they were dead in God's eyes. This is how the Watchtower operates if anyone dares to question the decrees of the "Faithful and Discreet Slave", supposedly chosen by Jesus when he allegedly came to inspect His congregations back in 1919! Dissenters will suffer untold horrors at Armageddon and be consigned to the ash pits of Gehenna forever, for rejecting the protection of the "corporate umbrella" that provides a front row seat to the destruction of the wicked from the sidelines of "spiritual paradise"! Does the New Covenant Negate the Law? Jesus said: "Why do you ask me about what is good? One there is who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments." (Matthew 19:17) Paul said: "And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death; And I made the discovery that the law whose purpose was to give life had become a cause of death." (Romans 7:9,10) Ehyeh said: "And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws....If only they had such a heart in them at all times, so that they might go in fear of me and keep my orders and that it might be well for them and for their children for ever!" -Deuteronomy 5:10,29. Could men have been declared righteous through observance of the Law? Deuteronomy 6:24,25 says: "And the Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that (for this purpose) He might preserve us alive, as it is this day. Then it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to observe all these commandments before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us." "Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your descendants I give all these lands, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Abraham your father. And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed; because Abraham obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My Laws." (Genesis 26:3-5) Does God ever change? Did the New Covenant negate God's Law? Paul said: "For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression." (Romans 4:14,15.) Is Paul serious? So where lawlessness and anarchy reign supreme, there is no transgression? Jeremiah 31:33 says: "But this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my law in their inner parts, writing it in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be my people." What law is that? Is there another law? Jesus said: "Let there be no thought that I have come to put an end to the law or the prophets. I have not come for destruction, but to make complete. Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done. Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:17-19.) Was Jesus preaching only to the Jews? "And what I say unto you I say unto all." (Mark 13:37) There are not two standards in Heaven! Jesus/Yeshua was making use of common Hebraic expressions when He said “destroy/abolish” and “fulfill/complete”. In the Hebraic context of the day, those who misinterpreted or misapplied the Torah were said to “destroy” it, and those who correctly interpreted and applied the Torah “fulfilled” it. If Jesus had meant that He was abolishing the Law, then He severely contradicted Himself in the above statement. The belief that it is "sinful" to strive to observe the Torah is proven to be ridiculous by the fact that without the Torah (Law), there is no definition of “sin.” "Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?" -John 7:17-19. "And he called to him the crowd with his disciples and said to them, 'If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? For what can a man give in return for his life? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.'" -Mark 8:34-38 (ESV) Did the Apostles Abolish the Law? At Numbers 15:15,16 Ehyeh said: "One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the LORD. One law and one manner shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you." Inevitably at the crux of this question is to determine what was decided at Acts 15. Keep in mind that the Apostles were not to contradict the Torah, they had no authority to do so according to Jesus' own words at Matthew 5:17-19. At Acts 15:5-12 we read of the prospective Gentile converts: "But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed, saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep the law of Moses. And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter. And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, 'Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.' Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them." Here we see that Peter thought not to burden the Gentiles with the Torah, which he considered a "yoke" that "neither our fathers nor we were able to bear", and Paul and Barnabas heartily agreed. But then James the Just, whom Jesus said would be His successor, stepped up to the plate: "And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, 'Men and brethren, hearken unto me: Simeon hath declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his name. And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written, After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will set it up: That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things. Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.'" -Acts 15:13-21. In order to understand this ruling, we must consider the current situation. There are not two standards for Jews and Gentiles who are in a covenant relationship with Ehyeh. The Torah said that both the "congregation" and the "stranger" were to keep the commandments. Jesus taught repeatedly that His followers must observe His commandments. (John 14:15; Revelation 22:14.) He taught a new commandment that was an addition to the Torah, and indeed He said that the entire Torah was summed up in those two commandments, but He explicitly said that He did not come to abolish a single particle of the Torah. Hence, it is obvious that whether Jew or Gentile, His followers were to express their faith by observing the Law of His Father. Perhaps this is the main point of what Jesus meant when He said: "Not every one who is saying to me Lord, lord, shall come into the reign of the heavens; but he who is doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, lord, have we not in thy name prophesied? and in thy name cast out demons? and in thy name done many mighty things? And then I will acknowledge to them, that--I never knew you, depart from me ye who are working lawlessness." -Matthew 7:21-23 YLT. The ruling at Acts 15 is based upon the current situation, which was in the framework of the Messianic expectations of the restoration of the Kingdom to Israel (Acts 1:6). The Torah and the Prophets foretold that with the coming of the Messiah, there would be an end of the exile, and Jesus the Messiah would regather both Houses of Israel and return them back to their land (Deuteronomy 30:1-5; Ezekiel 37:15-28). The ruling was based upon the rebuilding of the tabernacle of David, and it comes from this prophecy in Amos 9:11: "In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old." The "rebuilding of the tabernacle of David" is seen by Orthodox Jews as the restoration, regathering and reuniting of both houses of Israel: Ephraim/Joseph and Judah. In the book, "Torah Anthology: Yalkut Me'Am Lo'ez", a commentaryon the book of Amos, the following statement concerning Amos 9:11 is made on page 456: "Amos speaks prophetically about the redemption [end of the exile of both houses of Israel) ... God 'will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen'. This refers to the calamity of the kingdom splitting in two in the days of Jeroboam (I Kings 12:13). As of then, and until the time of Hosea son of Elah (2 Kings 17), the kingdom of the house of David was 'fallen' ... the scripture compared Jerusalem and the reigning dynasty of David to a 'tabernacle' -- literally a temporary hut such is used by shepherds. David had been the monarch who shepherded the people of Israel (I Samuel 16:11) ... The scripture conveys that in the coming future, the kingship of the house of David will be established in three stages: First, a leader will arise of the seed of David, who will "feed them" and he will be their shepherd (Ezekiel 34:23)." This first stage was fulfilled by the first coming of Jesus. Of this restoration of the tabernacle of David, Ehyeh said: "And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The city of righteousness, the faithful city." -Isaiah 1:26,27. Jesus consistently taught His disciples how to follow the Torah and how to teach it to others. That stage of the future redemption will be followed by another, when Ehyeh says He "will be their God". "My servant David will be prince among them" will be fulfilled by the second coming of Jesus. Indeed, David gave us insight into the spiritual refinement and cleansing that true followers of Jesus will need to undergo in the last days: " Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean. Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness that the bones which you have broken may rejoice in good health. Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with your free Spirit. Then will I teach transgressors your ways, and sinners shall be converted unto you." -Psalms 51:7-13. Hyssop is a highly aromatic European mint plant used in purificatory sprinkling rites by the ancient Hebrews. It's the plant used to offer Jesus vinegar in a sponge while He was impaled as cited at John 19:28,29. In the context of offering Jesus vinegar, hyssop represents the cleansing of Christianity. This cleansed state is what we feel when God forgives us of our sins and cleanses our soul. The past loses its power to dominate our lives, but salvation is a cooperative effort requiring that we confess our wrongdoing, make amends to those we victimized, and really believe that God forgives our sins, even grave ones. Once the true followers of Jesus reach this state of refinement and acceptance to Jesus, what happens then? Isaiah 2:2-4, a very familiar scripture blasphemously quoted by the United Nations, says: "And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." Note the Hebrew word for the "law" in verse 3: H8451 תּרה תּורה tôrâh tôrâh to-raw', to-raw' From H3384; a precept or statute, especially the Decalogue or Pentateuch: - law. Ehyeh is saying very plainly that both Jews and Gentiles would embrace Jesus the Messiah and the Torah! How could this possibly happen? It would take nothing short of a miraculous outpouring of the Holy Spirit on a grand scale, exactly what was prophesied at Joel 2:28-32! At Acts 15:7, Peter mentioned the outpouring of the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaKodesh) upon Gentiles as a basis for Ehyeh to adopt them into the New Covenant as a result of a circumcision of the heart. At Acts 15:19, where Peter says that the "Gentiles are turned to God", the Greek word here rendered as "turned" can actually mean "return": G1994 ἐπιστρέφω epistrephō ep-ee-stref'-o From G1909 and G4762; to revert (literally, figuratively or morally): - come (go) again, convert, (re-) turn (about, again). Notice how the same word is translated in the following verses: "And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you." (Matthew 10:13) "Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished." (Matthew 12:44) Hence, it was the choice of the translators to render the word as either "turn" or "return". The ruling in Acts 15:19-20 is following by these words in Acts 15:21: "For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day." The Hebraic view of the Rabbis is that if a Gentile desired to be adopted in to the New Covenant, he would at first be asked to follow only a set of absolutely critical laws in order to be considered clean enough to be a part of the congregation and continue to learn and observe the rest of the Torah commandments as they were taught weekly in the synagogues. If they agreed to do this they would of course have to honor that agreement or be expelled from the congregation. Deuteronomy 33:4 says: "Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob." Why the Four Specific Requirements? Traditional Christianity refers to the four requirements at Acts 15:19,20 and says that Gentiles are not required to follow the Torah, but only those four specific requirements. Jesus said: "If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments." Jesus did not say to only keep four commandments, He said "keep the commandments", as in all of them. Ehyeh called His people to be a "holy nation", and said He would redeem them as such. If you don't believe that there is a conspiracy to conceal that God's holy nation is required to keep the commandments, consider another blatant revision by the Westcott & Hort gang: Revelation 22:14, "Received" text: "Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city." Revised Bibles: "Happy are those who wash their robes....." Now why would they do that? Those four commandments came directly from Leviticus chapters 17, 18 and 20. At Exodus 19:5,6 Ehyeh says: "Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine: And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel." Should we think for a minute that God has scrapped His plans? It seems clear that being a "holy nation" is synonymous with "keep my covenant". At 1 Peter 2:9 we read: "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness, into his marvellous light." What is that light? Isaiah 8:20 says: "To the Torah and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Proverbs 6:23 says: "For the commandment is a lamp; and the Torah is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life." Ephesians 5:8 says: "For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: Walk as children of light." How does the Torah teach that Gentiles are to be holy before God? If Ehyeh calls all those in a covenant relationship with Him "holy", how does it help explain the ruling in Acts 15:19,20? The Torah uses the term "holiness" specifically regarding three areas: Idolatry Sexual immorality Forbidden foods Idolatry is mentioned specifically in regard to "jealousy", which means being in "exile", or "cut off". At Exodus 20:1-5 we read: "And God spake all these words, saying, I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God." Ehyeh likens worship of Him to a husband-wife relationship, and in the Torah a woman who commits adultery becomes forbidden to her husband. Ehyeh is showing us how worshiping idols destroys the trust of the relationship and arouses His jealousy. "And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute forever unto them throughout their generations." (Leviticus 17:7) "And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death: the people of the land shall stone him with stones.....Then I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all that go a whoring after him, to commit whoredom with Molech, from among their people." -Leviticus 20:1,2,5. The same punishments would apply to sexual immorality: They would go into exile and be cut off from the covenant. "Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her." (Leviticus 18:20) Homosexuality is also forbidden: "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." -verse 22. Finally, regarding forbidden foods, we read in the Torah: "And whatsoever man there be of the House of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people." (Leviticus 17:10) "Ye shall therefore put difference between clean beasts and unclean, and between unclean fowls and clean: and ye shall not make your souls abominable by beast, or by fowl, or by any manner of living thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean." -Leviticus 20:25. "For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off." -Leviticus 17:14. It is because of ignorance of the Torah that traditional Christians believe that it does not require being followed. Jesus said to be followers of Him. He was a Jew who observed the Laws of His Father and commanded His followers to do the same, and to teach others to do so. As a result, Christianity has become a state of "lawlessness" and is currently in "exile", "cut off" from the Covenant! Is there any hope for anybody then? Yes! Through the outpouring of His Holy Spirit, Ehyeh says He will write His Torah upon the hearts of His regathered and redeemed people, both Jews and Gentiles! Was the Law a Curse? Paul said: "For all who are of the works of the law are under a curse: because it is said in the Writings, A curse is on everyone who does not keep on doing all the things which are ordered in the book of the law. Now that no man gets righteousness by the law in the eyes of God, is clear; because, The upright will be living by faith. And the law is not of faith; but, He who does them will have life by them. Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree: So that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; in order that we through faith might have the Spirit which God had undertaken to give." Was Jesus cursed? "And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled." (Deuteronomy 21:22,23) The context is about criminals and has nothing to do with prophecy as Paul asserts. Paul often took the Hebrew Scriptures out of context to prove his doctrine, but he never quotes Jesus! Paul said: "What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law. Or is God the God of Jews only? Is he not in the same way the God of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles: If God is one; and he will give righteousness because of faith to those who have circumcision, and through faith to those who have not circumcision. Do we, then, through faith make the law of no effect? In no way: but we make it clear that the law is important." -Romans 3:27-31. James the Just seemed to be referring to the teachings of Paul when he said: "Even so faith without works is dead. But a man may say, You have faith and I have works; let me see your faith without your works, and I will make my faith clear to you by my works. You have the belief that God is one, and you do well: the evil spirits have the same belief, shaking with fear. Do you not see, O foolish man, that faith without works is of no use? Was not the righteousness of Abraham our father judged by his works, when he made an offering of Isaac his son on the altar? You see that his faith was helping his works and was made complete by them; And the holy Writings were put into effect which said, And Abraham had faith in God and it was put to his account as righteousness; and he was named the friend of God. You see that a man's righteousness is judged by his works and not by his faith only." -James 2:17-24. Twisting Paul's Words Leads to the New World Order Hitler used the 13th chapter of Romans to dupe the Christian masses in Germany into obeying his terrorist Third Reich: "Let everyone put himself under the authority of the higher powers, because there is no power which is not of God, and all powers are ordered by God. For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get punishment for themselves." -Romans 13:1,2. So did Hitler get his power from God? Was he sanctioned by God? How about Stalin, Pol Pot, or Kim Jong Il? Are we to obey the superior authorities no matter what they ask of us? What did the Apostles say? "But Peter and the Apostles, answering, said, We have to do the orders of God, not of man." -Acts 5:29. Consider this: "KSLA 12 news report confirms that PASTORS and CLERGY response teams are being trained by the Federal Government to "quell dissent". They are to cite Romans 13 as a reason for for the public to obey government orders. In may 2006, the existance of a nation wide FEMA program was exposed. Its program involving the training of pastors and other religious representatives to become "secret" police enforcers, who will teach their flock to "obey" the government, in preparation for the implementation of martial law, property, firearms seizures, mass vaccination programs and forced relocations. A whistleblower who secretly enrolled into the program said the feds were clandestinely recruiting religious leaders to help implement homeland security, in anticipation of a potential bio-terrorist attack, natural disaster or declared emergency. The first directive was for pastors to preach to their congregations "Romans 13" which was used by Hitler to hoodwink Christians into supporting his war of terror. It was stressed that pastors have to teach subservience to the authorities ahead of time, in preparation for the round-ups, and make it clear that it's for their own good. They were told that they would be backed up by law enforcement for those who were uncooperative." Paul says: "For though you have countless guides in Christ, you do not have many fathers. For I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel." (1 Corinthians 4:15) "I appeal to you for my child, Ones'imus, whose father I have become in my imprisonment." (Philemon 1:10) Jesus says: "And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. Neither be called leaders, for you have one leader, the Christ." -Matthew 23:9,10. Paul says: "And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third, teachers..." (1 Corinthians 12:28) "And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors [shepherds] and teachers...." (Ephesians 4:11) "For this I was appointed a preacher and apostle (I am telling the truth, I am not lying), a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and truth." (1 Timothy 2:7) "For this gospel I was appointed a preacher and apostle and teacher..." (2 Timothy 1:11) Jesus says:"And I have other sheep, that are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will heed my voice. So there shall be one flock, one shepherd. (John 10:16) "But you are not to be called rabbi, for you have one teacher, and you are all brethren." (Matthew 23:8.) When did Jesus or any of the Apostles ever have to qualify what they were teaching by saying "I am not lying"?! "And he will say words against the Most High, attempting to put an end to the saints of the Most High; and he will have the idea of changing times and law..." -Daniel 7:25. The Judahites and the Pharisees There were two categories of Jews up to the time of Jesus and immediately afterward: The Judahites and the Edomites. The Edomites had mixed with the Judahites, and from that intermingling came the Pharisees. They perverted and legalized the Pentateuch (Torah), which they considered extremely important. They kept its laws including the sabbath, and performed circumcision as a sign of the Covenant. However, they tortured the legalisms of the law to elevate their own social status and wealth. The Judahites referred to themselves as the "People of the Way", and belief in Jesus as the promised Messiah spread rapidly among them. Gentiles who also adhered to these beliefs were lovingly adopted by them, just as the Torah commanded for the treatment of alien residents. Jesus was hated by the legalist Scribes and Pharisees because He stressed the true application and intent of the Law, which had been watered down and misapplied by the Pharisee (Edomite) Jews in order to put the people into bondage. While claiming it was the truth of the Law, they manipulated it to benefit themselves. From the time Moses received the laws from Ehyeh, the entire Jewish social system had been laid down in the Torah. It states, among other things, that all are created equal and that no person may oppress or exploit another, that all have the right to be free and to be independent masters of their own fate. It was their Constitution and Bill of Rights! As an example, everyone was entitled to social security: That people are entitled to be supported by the community, not only when they fall on hard times, but also to maintain their independence as breadwinners for their families. For instance, the community was to provide backup funds to those who needed them as required. To prevent people being exploited due to their situation, these funds were to be provided without interest (usury), and these loans were to be cancelled every seventh year if the borrower was unable to repay. The country's wealth, especially its productive capital, belonged to and had to be shared among everyone equally. This distribution of the community's wealth was to be updated at regular intervals. The role of the rich was to administer their wealth on behalf of the community, not getting rich at the public’s expense! And what is happening right now as a result of not following Ehyeh's Law against usury? A corporate takeover of the entire world by the Antichrist financiers of London and the Vatican! How fitting! The Law Stands! The Early Christians It was James who led the early Apostles and it was Peter upon whom the church would be built, but you would never guess that was the case by looking at today's churches. Peter was an apostle with a mantle from Ehyeh Himself through His Son Jesus to build His Christian Congregation, and he did just that. But the Pauline Christians took over afterward and rejected Peter's leadership. Paul was a self-proclaimed apostle, whom the Apostles rejected as an apostle, but accepted as a brother. Of the 22 times that Paul is referred to as an "Apostle", 20 of those decrees came from Paul himself, and the other two from Luke, who was a trustworthy secretary and certainly a faithful brother, but was evidently a disciple of Paul! No one else ever confirmed Paul's claim! At one time Mark followed Paul but later returned to the Apostles! There were blatant disagreements and arguments between Paul and the Apostles. There were only 12 apostles, 13 is the Illuminati's kingdom number. “And on the wall of the city had twelve foundations; and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.” (Revelation 21:14) Paul created the offices of leadership to appoint himself as an apostle! The office of "Apostle" was closed when Matthias was chosen to replace Judas! -Acts 1:15-26. After Jesus died and was resurrected, His apostles continued in the example He set, observing the feasts, the laws, and the Commandments. Nothing was to be changed. The sacrificial laws had been fulfilled with the ultimate sacrifice of Ehyeh's Only Begotten Son, but the other laws of the Torah didn't go anywhere. This is exactly where the church replaced and redefined the Law with Paul's cheap grace doctrine, in outright defiance of God's Torah. The New Covenant transformed the Old Covenant, it didn't abolish it. They reconcile each other: Some commands of the law were transformed by their fulfillment while others were superceded by Ehyeh Himself. We see a prelude to this where Solomon’s Temple superceded the ancient tabernacle. Jesus' ransom sacrifice fulfilled the requirements of sacrificial sin offerings. Other commands were re- prioritized instead of abolished. The Holy Days and Festivals of the Torah (especially Passover) were not abolished, but took on new meanings. This means that clean and unclean foods, keeping the Sabbath, and other tenets of the laws that the churches have thrown out and ignored over time still stand today. Being in the New Covenant means that the Old Covenant Laws are written upon our hearts, so that we know what to obey and how to obey it, giving us a real, demonstrable way to show our love and obedience to Our Father in Heaven. God never changes, and neither do His laws! Many people today are feeling a persistent yearning to celebrate the Feasts and to refrain from eating unhealthy foods. This is by the Holy Spirit's guidance! Ehyeh is leading His people into the way they should go, just as the New Covenant said would happen: "And at your back, when you are turning to the right hand or to the left, a voice will be sounding in your ears, saying, This is the way in which you are to go." -Isaiah 30:21. ________________________________________________________________________________________ Related Articles: Marcion Paul the Apostle and Salvation Thru Faith The Problem of Paul Continue on to "To the Law and To the Testimony!"
