1 28 Scriptures that show Yahshua is the Almighty Father!

2 Before we begin... Before we begin, we need to first answer the following question. Do names matter to the Almighty? If, from reading your Bible, you have come to see that names are very important to the Almighty, the first portion of this booklet will be a blessing to you. We should consider... If names are not that important why did the Almighty give special names to His people? More importantly, why did the Almighty give a special Name to Himself! And... what is that Name? YahshuaMinistries.com 2

3 If we could go back in time... If we could go back in time and ask the disciples, Would you take us to see Jesus? They would have gotten a puzzled look on their face and said, Who? You see, the disciples never knew the Messiah by that name. They would have said, Please come, we want you to meet Yahshua, the Messiah! The name Yahshua, is pronounced like Joshua with a Y. The emphasis remains with the Almighty s name Yah, in the first syllable. The History of the name Jesus For nearly fifteen hundred years after our Savior walked the earth, the world had never heard the name Jesus. The name Jesus first appeared in the King James Version revision of 1769, 243 years ago as an anglicized transcription of the Latin name Iesus (KJV of 1611) which is a translation of the Greek name Ieousus. By 1769, our Saviors original Hebrew name, had been *transliterated three times, in three different languages: *transliterate: to write or print (a letter or word) using the closest corresponding letters of a different alphabet or language. YahshuaMinistries.com 3

4 The first, from Hebrew to Greek. The second, from Greek to Latin. The third, from Latin to English. In 1384, John Wycliffe translated the New Testament to English for the first time. His only source was the Latin Vulgate. Wycliffe used the Latin spelling and pronunciation of Iesus. The printing press had not yet been invented and only a few handwritten copies of Wycliffe's Bible were produced. In the 1450's, Gutenburg invented the printing press. Then, in 1526 William Tyndale translated the New Testament into the English language from the Latin Vulgate, along with the additional help of some ancient Greek manuscripts. Tyndale wanted the Bible translated into the language of the common people and many copies of his translation were printed with the help of the printing press. Tyndale was the first to use the letter J in the spelling of the name Jesus. There was no letter J in any language, prior to the fourteenth century in England. The letter did not become widely used until the Seventeenth century. This new spelling soon became pronounced by the people as Jee-zuz. There was no letter J in the original 1611 version of the King James Bible because it did not exist. James was spelled Iames. Jesus was spelled Iesus. The letter J was first used in the 1769 version of the King James Bible.* * Perhaps the biggest difference between the 1611 and 1769 versions of the King James Bible is spelling. For instance, there was no letter "J" in 1611 so "Jesus" was spelled "Iesus." TheKJVstore.com YahshuaMinistries.com 4

5 Another error... Yahshua, changed to Yeshua There is another error that must be addressed when discussing our Saviors name. Some have mistranslated our Savior s name, changing it from Yahshua, to Yeshua. The error of changing Yah to Ye is due to the manmade tradition of the Jewish priests. Their reverence for the holy name caused them to believe that it was too sacred to pronounce. To prevent the pronunciation of the name Yahshua, the priests changed the vowel points from an a to an e in the Tetragrammaton YHWH, and omitted the letter H altogether, resulting in Ye. Thus, the name Yeshua removes the Almighty Father s name YAH and His role as Savior completely! Scripture tells us we have only one Savior the Father Himself. I, even I, am the LORD, (Yahweh) and apart from Me there is NO Savior. Isaiah 43:11 Scripture tells us the Father s name is YAH, not Ye. Look at the following scriptures declaring the Father s name is YAH: (YAH - Strong s H3050) YahshuaMinistries.com 5

6 Exodus 15:2; Exodus 17:16; Psalm 68:4,18; Psalm 77:11; Psalm 89:8; Palm 94:7, 12; Psalm 102:18; Psalm 104:35; Psalm 105:45; Psalm 106:1, 48; Psalm 111:1; Psalm 112:1; Psalm113:1; Psalm 113:9; Psalm 115:17, 18; Psalm 116:19; Psalm 117:2; Psalm 118:5, 14, 17, 18, 19; Psalm 122:4; Psalm 130:3; Psalm135:1, 3, 4, 21; Psalm 146:1, 10; Psalm 147:1, 20; Psalm 148:1, 14; Psalm 149: 1, 9; Psalm 150:1, 6; Isaiah 12: 2; Isaiah 26:4; Isaiah 38:11; and we clearly see the Almighty's name is YAH in Revelation 19:1-6, as the multitudes praise Him saying, Halleluyah! Which means, Praise YAH, you people. King David tells us plainly in Psalm 68:4 that the Almighty s name is YAH. David writes: Sing to God, sing praises to His name; Extol Him who rides on the clouds, By His name YAH, and rejoice before Him. Our Savior Himself tells us plainly His name is Yahshua, not Yeshua. keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me John 17:11 NASU We know from scripture the Fathers name is YAH, not Ye. Because the Almighty s name is YAH, the name Yeshua is not only incorrect, it eliminates the Almighty s name altogether! Yahshua, is the correct name of the Almighty, our Savior. YahshuaMinistries.com 6

7 The Almighty s name is YAH in the Old Testament but does the Almighty, as Savior, still have the name YAH in the New Testament? YES! In the Old Testament, when you see YHWH (YAH-WEH) or LORD; it is proclaiming the Almighty s name YAH, which is followed by a descriptor. The descriptor is the word WEH, which means, The Self-Existent one (I AM). So, the name YAHWEH means, YAH - The Self-Existent one (I AM). The Almighty proclaims His name to us in the New Testament and notice He does not permit anyone to give Him a different name. (Matthew 1:21; Luke 2:21) and you shall call His name Yahshua YAH, waited to give us His highest name in the New Testament! Now, YAH combines His name with His highest descriptor! What is His highest descriptor? It is the word SHUA, which means is salvation. When you combine the Almighty s name YAH, with the word SHUA, it means, YAH is salvation! The Father the Almighty, proclaims His name as Savior! This is why the name Yahshua, is the name above all names! YahshuaMinistries.com 7

8 How do you say Netanyahu in English? How do you say, Chevrolet in Japanese? How do you say, Coca-Cola in Russian? How do you say, Yamaha or Mitsubishi in English? Have you noticed, proper names do not change sounds when moving from language to language. There may be some inflection here and there, but the name itself should be recognizable no matter what language you are speaking. Listen carefully when people speak in a foreign language. No matter what language they are speaking, even if you don t speak that language, you will be able to distinguish the proper names they say. It has nothing to do with what language you speak. We say the names of people from foreign lands all the time without feeling the need to first change them into our language. People all over the world say the following names: Vladimir Putin, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Mao Zedong, and Che Guevara, without changing them. Why is it the Hebrew names from scripture need to be changed? Examples: Yahshua... has been changed to Jesus Miryam... has been changed to Mary Yochanan... has been changed to John Yaakov... has been changed to James YahshuaMinistries.com 8

9 Could this have been Intentional? Scripture tell us, There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12 Can you think of anyone, who from the beginning, has tried to alter, obfuscate and eliminate this name from both sight and sound? We must remember that when the priests and Sadducees commanded the Apostles not to speak in the name of our Savior, they were talking about our Savior s real name...yahshua! Scripture tells us YAH chose this name for Himself. He did not allow others to choose a name for Him. (Matthew 1:21; Luke 2:21) The name He chose was Yahshua, which means, YAH is salvation. When a person believes in the name Yahshua, he is believing what that name means - that YAH, the Almighty Father is the Savior in human form. Who is Yahshua? He is YAH, our Savior! YahshuaMinistries.com 9

10 The Almighty s true name The Almighty s true name, Yahshua, has been transliterated, changed and seemingly forgotten over the centuries. As amazing as it sounds, the name Jesus has been in existence for only the last four hundred years. No one on earth, born before the 17th century, had ever spoken or heard the name Jesus. The reason simply being this name did not exist before that time. Yahshua has blessed us however, because of our love and faith in Him! He allowed us to grow spiritually through the names that people have known Him by over the years. Names such as Iesus, and Jesus have been a blessing to us who used them because we have not previously known His real name. What now are we to do with our new given knowledge? I m reminded of a time I mistakingly called someone I had met by a name not their own. This person very politely told me what their name actually was (I guess all of us desire to be called by our real name). Anyway, from that moment on I always called him by his true name. And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be The LORD is one, And His name one. Zechariah 14:9 YahshuaMinistries.com 10

11 28 Scriptures that show Yahshua is the Father! Before we begin, here is interesting fact: In the New Testament, three people are recorded speaking directly to the Almighty in heaven. These three were Stephen, the Apostle Paul and the Apostle John. In every instance, they all spoke with Yahshua! The Apostle Thomas spoke to the risen Yahshua and called Him, My Lord and my God! When a person believes in the name Yahshua, he is believing what that name means - that YAH, the Almighty Father is the Savior in human form. YahshuaMinistries.com 11

12 28 Scriptures that show Yahshua is the Father! 1. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 2. Isaiah 40:3 and Mark 1:3 The voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare the way of the LORD; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. Prepare the way for the LORD s coming! Mark 1:3 3. John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, My Lord and my God! YahshuaMinistries.com 12

13 Did the Apostles believe Yahshua was the Almighty? So, did the apostles who wrote the New Testament accounts really believe that Yahshua was the Almighty, or did they regard Him as the second person? If they regarded Yahshua as the Almighty, did they consider Him as the Creator of the universe, or something a little less? To clarify their beliefs about Yahshua, we will examine their words, asking three questions: Did the apostles and early Christians worship and pray to Yahshua as the Almighty? Did the apostles teach that Yahshua is the Creator written of in Genesis? Did the apostles worship Yahshua as Preeminent in the universe? And Thomas answered and said to Him, My Lord and my God! YahshuaMinistries.com 13

14 Yahshua is the Almighty After Yahshua ascended, the apostles stunned both Jew and Roman by proclaiming Yahshua as Lord. The apostles did the unthinkable, they worshipped Yahshua and prayed to Him as the Almighty. Stephen prayed, Lord Jesus (Yahshua), receive my spirit as he was being stoned to death. (Acts 7:59) Other believers soon joined Stephen, even in the face of death, And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ. (Acts 5:42) The apostles, most of whom were martyred, passed on their knowledge of Yahshua to church fathers who carried on their message into the next generation. The apostle Paul calls Yahshua our great God and Savior. Titus 2:13 YahshuaMinistries.com 14

15 The disciples applied titles of the Father to Yahshua the Messiah The apostle John referred to Yahshua as the the first and the last (Revelation 1:17; 2:8; 22:13); the true light (John 1:9); the bridegroom (Revelation 21:2; Savior of the world (John 4:42; Isaiah 43:3-11). He also attributed to Yahshua the role of Redeemer in Revelation 5:9. The apostle Peter called Yahshua the rock and stone (1 Peter 2:6-8; Psalms 18:2; 95:1; and the Chief Shepherd (1 Peter 5:4). The apostle Paul referred to Yahshua, as the rock (1 Corinthians 10:4) and the bridegroom (Ephesians 5:22-33). The Old Testament role of Redeemer (Hosea 13:14; Psalms 130:7) is given to Yahshua by Paul in Titus 2: Yahshua is the forgiver of sins in Colossians 3:13 and He is Christ Jesus, who will judge the living and the dead (2 Timothy 4:1). What is so special about these titles? All of these titles are unique to the Almighty in the Old Testament but are given to Yahshua in the New Testament! The disciples were steeped in the Old Testament and would have only applied these titles with great care. If they did not think Yahshua was the Father manifested in flesh, they would have never used these words to describe him. YahshuaMinistries.com 15

16 The New Testament opens with a passage concluding that Yahshua is Immanuel ( God with us ), which refers to the messianic prediction of Isaiah 7:14. The very title Christ carries the same meaning as the Hebrew appellation Messiah ( Anointed One ). 4. Isaiah 7:14 and Matthew 1:23-25 "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel. Isaiah 7:14 "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel," which is translated, "God with us." Matthew 1:23 Always Remember... Immanuel does not mean, God s son with us. Immanuel means, God with us. YahshuaMinistries.com 16

17 5. Zechariah 12:10 Yahweh says, They will look on me, the one they have pierced. The New Testament writers apply this passage to Yahshua twice (John 19:37; Revelation 1:7) as referring to His crucifixion. Paul s view of Yahshua. Paul interprets Isaiah s message, For I am God, and there is no other. Before me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear Isaiah 45:22-23 as applying to Yahshua, at the name of Jesus every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father Philippians 2:10-11 YahshuaMinistries.com 17

18 The disciples attributed the powers of the Almighty to Yahshua. There are some things only the Almighty can do, but these very things are attributed to Yahshua by His disciples. He is said to be able to raise the dead (John 5:21; 11:38-44) and forgive sins (Acts 5:31; 13:38). Moreover, He is said to have been the creator of the universe (John 1:2-3; Colossians 1:16) and in sustaining its existence (Colossians 1:17). Surely only the Almighty can be said to be the Creator of all things, and the disciples claim this power for Yahshua! The disciples associated Yahshua s name with the Almighty s. How did this happen in the New Testament? Here are some examples: Often in prayers, Yahshua s name is used alongside the Almighty s, as in Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:3; Ephesians 1:2) Finally, the disciples called Yahshua, the Almighty. The apostles John and Paul as well as Mark and the writer of Hebrews, all call Yahshua, God in multiple ways. The apostle John records that Thomas saw the Lord s wounds and cried, My Lord and my God! (John 20:28) YahshuaMinistries.com 18

19 6. Mark 1:3 John the Baptist, speaking about Yahshua! Prepare the way for the LORD s coming! 7. Romans 9:5 Paul wrote, Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! 8. Titus 2:13 Yahshua is our great God and Savior. 9. Colossians 1:15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. YahshuaMinistries.com 19

20 10. Colossians 2:9 For in Christ lives all the fulness of God in a human body. In summary, there is manifold testimony from Yahshua Himself and from those who knew Him best, that Yahshua claimed to be the Almighty and that His followers believed this to be the case. They give to the carpenter of Nazareth these unique titles, powers, prerogatives, and activities that apply only to Yah, the Almighty. There is no reasonable doubt that this is what they believed and what Yahshua proclaimed of Himself according to the New Testament. God was manifest in the flesh 1 Timothy 3:16 It s important to note that this verse does not say God s son was manifest in flesh. YahshuaMinistries.com 20

21 Did Yahshua claim to be the Almighty? Question: Is Yahshua, the Almighty? Did Yahshua ever claim to be the Almighty? Answer: Yahshua is recorded in the Bible saying He is the I AM. The name of the Almighty in the Old Testament. 11. John 8:24 Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am [He], you will die in your sins. We should note that the [He] in this verse is in italics, which indicates that it was not in the original Greek, but was added by the translators. Yahshua was indeed identifying Himself as the I AM of Exodus 3:14. We need only to look at the Jews reaction to His statement to know He was claiming to be the Almighty. They tried to stone Him for this very reason. you, a mere man, claim to be God John 10:33 YahshuaMinistries.com 21

22 It is always important to remember, these Jewish leaders were strictly monotheistic! When they said, You, a mere man, claim to be God, they were not speaking about a second person in the Trinity! They were referring to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; the I AM. The Jews understood exactly who Yahshua was claiming to be. Notice that Yahshua does not deny His claim to be the Almighty. Yahshua declared, I and the Father are one. John 10:30 Now let s look at the words of Yahshua in John 8: John 8:58 Yahshua declared, I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am! The response of the Jews who heard this statement was to take up stones to kill Him for blasphemy, as the Mosaic Law commanded them to do. (Leviticus 24:15) YahshuaMinistries.com 22

23 13. John 1:14 the Word was God and the Word became flesh What does the Word mean? John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The definition of "the Word" has caused many men much trouble, but that is when we need the word of the Almighty to define its own terms, and it does that. 1 John 1:2 is the definition to John 1:1 s "the Word, and it means the Father s life". 1 John 1:1-2 (The Word is LIFE and LIFE was with the Father) That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; (For the life was manifested, and we have seen [it], and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) The Word means life. Eternal life was with Him! This phrase is speaking of LIFE not a separate person. YahshuaMinistries.com 23

24 14. Acts 20:28 Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. Acts 20:28 tells us, Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. Who bought the church the church of the Almighty with His own blood? Yahshua, the Messiah! Acts 20:28 declares that the Almighty purchased His church with His own blood. Clearly therefore, Yahshua is the Almighty. Thomas, the disciple declared concerning Yahshua, My Lord and my God (John 20:28). Yahshua does not correct him. Titus 2:13 encourages us to wait for the coming of our God and Savior, Yahshua, the Messiah. (see also 2 Peter 1:1) YahshuaMinistries.com 24

25 15. Titus 2:13 while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, will be revealed. 16. Titus 3:4-5 But When God our Savior revealed his kindness and love, he saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He washed away our sins, giving us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit Peter 1:1 This faith was given to you because of the justice and fairness of Jesus Christ, our God and Savior. YahshuaMinistries.com 25

26 Granville Sharp s Rule A biblical study demonstrating that Yahshua is the Almighty comes from the biblical scholar Granville Sharp who noted the construction of a particular Greek idiom, which is now called Granville Sharp's rule. According to the rule, when two nouns that are personal, singular, and not proper names are connected in a TSKS pattern (The Substantive Kai Substantive, where 'kai' is Greek for and ) then the two nouns refer to the same person. Passages like Titus 2:13 and 2 Peter 1:1 fit this pattern. Therefore, when Paul says: [Titus 2:13] The great God and savior, Jesus Messiah he is grammatically identifying Yahshua, the Messiah as the great God. Proper nouns are not used in this phrase. In his review of over 1,000 years of Greek literature, Christopher Wordsworth confirmed that early church Fathers had this same understanding of the text. Based on what he correctly perceived to be an otherwise absolute principle of New Testament grammar, Sharp argued that there are eight passages in which his rule explicitly affirms that Yahshua is the Almighty. YahshuaMinistries.com 26

27 The eight scriptures are: Acts 20:28 Ephesians 5:5 2 Thessalonians 1:12 1 Timothy 5:21 2 Timothy 4:1 Titus 2:13 2 Peter 1:1 Jude 1:4 Acts 20:28 (#14) thvn ejkklhsivan tou' kurivou kaiv qeou', h}n periepoihvsato diav tou' ai{mato" tou' ijdivou the church of the Lord and God, which he purchased with his own blood 18.

30 More Scriptures Corinthians 10:4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ Corinthians 5:19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. YahshuaMinistries.com 30

31 26. Jude 1:25 To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. 27. Revelation 1:8 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, says the Lord, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty. 28. Isaiah 48:12 and Revelation 1:17 Listen to Me, O Jacob, And Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last. Isaiah 48:12 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He (Yahshua) laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. Revelation 1:17 YahshuaMinistries.com 31

32 Conclusion If Yahshua is the Father manifested in flesh, then the Christian message is that the Almighty Himself came to earth, allowed men to spit on Him, mock him, and nail Him to a cross as a supreme sacrifice for our sin. The Almighty s perfect justice could only be satisfied by the Almighty Himself as the payment for our sin and unrighteousness. No angel or created proxy would suffice. Such an act demonstrates the immensity of the Almighty s love as well as the high value He places upon each of us. And this is exactly what the apostles taught and so fervently preached. In his parting words to the Ephesian elders, Paul encouraged them to... shepherd the church of God, which he purchased with His own blood. Acts 20:28 YahshuaMinistries.com 32

33 Salvation is a gift for you! Salvation is a gift that we receive by faith. We cannot earn it through our deeds or works. We cannot obtain it by being a good person or by attending church. Yahshua earned it for us by dying for our sins on the cross. Our salvation is a gift that s been made available to everyone who calls upon the name of Yahshua. Ephesians 2:8-9 says this: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. The Bible promises us that, whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved. Joel 2:32; Romans 10:13 Acts 16:29-31 tells us that when the Philippian jailer cried out to Paul and Silas asking them, What must I do to be saved? They answered, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household. My friend, if you would like to make Yahshua the Lord of your life and receive His free gift of salvation, call upon Him now. YahshuaMinistries.com 33

34 Here is a simple prayer that you can repeat for salvation: Yahshua, I realize that I am a sinner and am in need of Your forgiveness. I believe in my heart that You died on the cross for my sins. I ask You to forgive me of my sins and I invite You into my heart to be my Lord and Savior. I receive You right now by faith and I confess You as Lord of my life. Thank You for my salvation. Amen. If you just prayed this prayer, congratulations! You are saved and you are a new creation in Christ! If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! 2 Corinthians 5:17 YahshuaMinistries.com 34

35 Yahshua Ministries - What I Believe 1. YAH The Almighty Father s name in the Old Testament YAH - Psalm 68:4; Isaiah 12:2; Isaiah 26:4; Revelation 19:1, 3, 4, 6 (see page 5). YAH-WEH means, YAH - The Self-Existent one (I AM). I believe in a strict Monotheism. I do not believe the Almighty is three persons. I believe the Almighty is numerically one. 2. YAHSHUA The Almighty Father s highest name revealed - New Testament Yahshua is the name above every name! Yahshua literally means, YAH is Salvation. 3. The Bible I believe the Bible to be the inspired word of Yahshua and to be free from error in the original manuscripts when all grammatical, historical, literary and cultural issues have been considered. I believe the Bible is the only Yahshua-given authority which man possesses; therefore, all doctrine, faith, hope, and all instruction for the church must be based upon and harmonize with the Bible. 4. Yahshua, the Messiah I believe the Almighty Father of the Old Testament, became a man in the person of Yahshua, the Messiah. I believe the name Yahshua, meaning Yah is salvation, is the Name above all names. Yahshua, is both fully the Almighty and fully man. He is the visible image of the Almighty Father. Yahshua s deity is none other than that of the Father. As it pertains to His humanity, Yahshua was born of a virgin in time. YahshuaMinistries.com 35

36 5. The Holy Spirit I believe that the Holy Spirit is none other than the Spirit of Yahshua Himself. 6. Salvation Salvation is a gift that we receive by faith. We cannot earn it through our deeds or works. We cannot obtain it by being a good person or by attending church. Yahshua ( God manifested in the flesh 1 Timothy 3:16) earned it for us through His death, burial and resurrection. It s a gift that s been made available to everyone who calls upon the name of Yahshua. 7. The Second Coming I believe that Yahshua died for our sins, was resurrected and ascended into heaven where he presently reigns. I also believe in a literal, bodily return of Yahshua after a time of Great Tribulation, both to claim his bride and to execute judgment on an unbelieving world. 8. Final Judgment I believe there is coming a time when all who ever lived will stand before Yahshua to be judged and that all who are not saved will be cast into the lake of fire. I believe this judgment to be literal and eternal. YahshuaMinistries.com 36
