1 Christ-Centered Kabbalah Sheila R. Vitale Pastor, Teacher, Founder PO Box 562 Port Jefferson Station, NY USA TRANSCRIPT OF MESSAGE #608 - Part 1 MESSIAH This Message Has Been Transcribed and Edited For Clarity, Continuity Of Thought, And Punctuation By The CCK Transcribing and Editing Team. Praise the Lord, we are going to go over an article that was ed to me by a believer, someone who came across this article not only on the web, but this article had been submitted to an internet news group and it is written by a messianic Jew who does not believe in the Kabbalistic concept of Messiah. You need to understand that I am read you this article and I am going to comment on it that it is written by somebody who does not agree with the Kabbalistic concept of Messiah. From my point of view, every day I believe more and more that the Jewish concept of Messiah is more accurate than the Christian concept of Messiah. At the very least, I have been disagreeing for years with the teaching that Jesus will, the same Jesus that was on the earth 2,000 years ago will appear as a single man, and rule over the whole world from the physical nation of Israel, I have been disagreeing with that for years. Let us go along with the article, and well let me say why I have been disagreeing with that for years because my whole understanding of the doctrine of Christ which is the wisdom of the word which in Jewish circles is called the spirit of the word or the Kabbalistic understanding of the word or the oral traditions, and that is that Jesus is glorified, He is pouring out of His spirit upon all flesh, His blood is sprinkling upon us all and that which is sprinkling is His spiritual semen so that it is now possible for a human being to be spiritually impregnated by the sperm of the Lord Jesus Christ. The result of that is that Christ, the Christ seed, the promised seed can be grafted to us and that our new man can be born in us, kill our old man and live through us and in that experience of the maturation of the new man which is the righteous image of the Lord Jesus Christ, overshadowing and destroying our old man and living through us in that destruction of our old man and this

2 change of nature that is imparted to us through the new man ruling and reigning through us, we receive the righteous immortality of the Lord Jesus Christ, and that Messiah is appearing again, His nature is appearing. Jesus, the physical man Jesus of Nazareth is not appearing again, the glorified man, and in essence His nature is appearing again and it will be appearing through more than one person, although I do believe that initially just one person will manifest that nature again, but it will go to whoever manages to be, I do not know what the right word is accepted by God, the one who overcomes, all of those who overcome can have the same inheritance. I have not believed that the physical Jesus of Nazareth will appear again, that is completely unscriptural. Jesus clearly said, if you can receive it, this is the spirit of Elias. It is not clear in the King James or in any of the New Testament translations that Jesus was talking about Himself as well as John the Baptist, but at the very least, it is established in the church that He was talking about John the Baptist. We preach here that Elijah reincarnated in at least two people, Jesus and John, and that the spirit of the power of Elijah was manifested in John, and the wisdom of Elijah was manifested in Jesus or incarnated in Jesus, and that these two aspects of the glorified Elijah, his spirit and his wisdom came together in the man Jesus of Nazareth at the time of His baptism. I have been teaching that here for years. To think that the physical man Jesus is reappearing again, is a complete error from my point of view as a teacher, and in addition to that, that teaching that the physical Jesus is appearing, supports the extended teaching that in the resurrection, every physical body that ever existed on the face of the earth will be resurrected which is a complete error that is taking on more and more power in the church and it is Satan from the carnal mind exalting the physical body which is the animal body in the image of Satan. The whole teaching is just wrong. Again, I find, as I continue to study and seek the Lord, I find more and more that the doctrine in the church is just wrong, the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ is in the church, and the experience of receiving the Holy Ghost is valid, the Spirit of God is in the church, but the doctrine in the church is largely wrong, because it is being understood with the carnal mind. The doctrine about Jesus, the doctrine of the cross, the gospel of the cross that Jesus was crucified and He rose again, is true, the teachings about faith are true, but any deep teaching or esoteric teaching or any teaching about the end times or what is to come, in the church is almost always wrong because it is being understood with the carnal mind. What I am saying now lines up exactly with what I am saying that the next move of God, the next step of God towards the salvation of His people, is to impart the mind of Christ to them. We can only go so far with the Holy Spirit alone we can only go so far with the imputed Christ which is the female aspect of Christ, the love of God which we read about in the New Testament as the fruit of the Spirit. To receive the whole promised seed, the grafted word which includes the wisdom of God and the nature of God, we have to believe the deep teaching of God because the deep teaching of God is the wisdom of God. The wisdom of God is one of the characteristics of the male aspect of the mind of Christ. If one truly has the male aspect of the mind of Christ, he will believe the doctrine of Christ. Any believer who does not believe the doctrine of Christ we know or if they do not at least get a witness that

3 the doctrine is valid and they start to labor in it and pray about it, that, that person does not have the male aspect of Jesus Christ. What the Lord is telling me right now, this is the first time I have ever heard this, we have believers all over the church world aborting the male aspect of Christ because they believe what He is telling them is false doctrine. It is a major massive abortion of the male children, which is a physical manifestation of Herod s abomination and it is being done by the very believers who are supposed to be midwives to bring forth the male Christ child which will save them in childbearing, they are murdering their own child because they believe that He is not of God. Is that amazing? The Lord just told me that now. We are going to be reading an article now that is written by a messianic Jew. Let me define messianic Christian, this is a Jewish person, born Jewish, who now believes that Jesus Christ is Messiah and has adopted the Christian doctrine in the church who believes his purpose in life which may or may not be true, I do not make that judgment, is to convert all of his Jewish brethren to the Christian doctrine which in my opinion is false doctrine. I want to suggest to you that Messianic Jews are very dangerous, because they have a burden to convert their own people at any cost to their doctrine. Brethren this burden is coming out of their carnal mind, this is witchcraft that is going forth against the Jewish people who are cleaving to the true concept of what Messiah, what to look for in the coming Messiah. This is my perception that it is a manifestation of pride that is going forth from those who are converted, those Jews who are converted, they have a desperate passion to convert the rest of their people assuming that they are absolutely right in what they are saying. No one should be forcing themselves on anyone. The conversion should come forth from the conviction of the Holy Spirit, or the conviction of the Spirit of Christ. We as human beings should not be willing with all of our will the conversion of our brethren, but of course this arises out of a false belief that everybody who dies without Christ will go to hell and burn and be tormented forever. We see how one aspect of false doctrine just leads to another one and another one and another one. Brethren, those who carry the word of the Lord are teachers. We are teachers, we bring the word, we teach, we speak, and the Spirit of God does the conviction. One sows, another waters, but only God can give the increase. God save us from the Christians. I am Jewish for those of you who do not know it, I am Jewish and for years in the early years of my training, I was surprised that the Lord was not sending me to Jewish people, I believe that most of the Messianic Jews were Jews who were not orthodox, they were secular Jews like me, I was brought up in a secular Jewish home, my nationality or my national heritage was Jewish, although I was born in this country, my parents were born of Jews who were born of Jews, who were born of Jews, may be at some time were observant Jews, but my parents were not observant Jews, my grandparents were not observant Jews, but I was told that I was Jewish because I was born to Jewish parents. We know that Paul has clearly defined a Jew for us. What is the definition of Jew, what is the scriptural definition of Jew, anybody, by Paul, what is Paul s definition? You want to try? Give her a microphone please. COMMENT: One who is circumcised in his heart?

4 PASTOR VITALE: Yes, that is correct. Paul s definition of Jew is one who is circumcised in his heart not in his physical flesh. To the best of my knowledge the majority if not all of the Messianic Christians, even those who are rabbis, because there are rabbis who are converted were reformed rabbis. I do not believe any, well I do not know for sure, but it would be very likely that there are many Kabbalistic Jews who really were deep into the mystery of the word from their Jewish position that could transfer to Christian philosophy, it is highly unlikely, although it may have happened in one of two places, it is highly unlikely. Most of the converts like me at my initial contact with the Lord, or the Lord s initial contact with me were Jews that did not know very much, maybe we knew the letter of the law, I had some knowledge of the Bible, but not of the mysteries of God or the truth of the word, the deep spiritual truth of the word, for Christians circles that is called the doctrine of Christ or the wisdom of God, and I believe to the best of my knowledge on the Jewish side this wisdom or mystery of the word, it is called Kabbalah. There is a I think it is called Jewish, I may have the wrong, there are four levels, I just do not remember the Jewish word for it, there are four levels of understanding the Scripture according to the Jewish teachers, the letter of the word, there is sermonic, you can use the word to preach a moral message. What the Jews call hints, I understand it to be inference, for a long time I did not know what that meant, hint, it means inference. There are certain things, certain Scriptures you can read that if you have understanding in your mind you can understand that the Scriptures are inferring a legitimate conclusion, so you have to draw the conclusion to understand what the Scripture is saying, and then the fourth level, is the sod, I am sorry the Lord just reminded me the fourth level in Hebrew is the sod which is the mystery of the word. My personal opinion is that it is highly unlikely that any Jew who is into the study of the sod, the mystery of the word would be converted to Christian doctrine. It is not even a contest. Although I cannot tell you a hundred percent for sure, it is my opinion that most Jews who are Jewish Christians or Messianic Jews, they have never been deeply intimately involved in the sod of the Scripture, including the rabbis, because there are a lot of Jewish rabbis that do not engage in the sod. As matter of fact I was approached once where I was involved in ministering to a man on the street years and years ago and I knew the Lord sent me there for that encounter, the man challenged me, visibly upset and he said to me, How can you God has a son, I go to Yeshiva which is a Hebrew college, and how can you tell me God has a son? At the time I had an answer for him that the Lord gave me that completely stopped him in his tracks, and he took the message that I offered him and left. I knew what happened to him. Just like there are seminaries that teach the letter of the word, that are churning out pastors that have no anointing at all, there must be Yeshivas that are just teaching the letter of the word, that do not teach the sod of the word, and obviously this man was one of them. The fact that he went to Yeshiva did not mean anything because anyone who studies the sod knows that God has a son, son of Adam, son of man, son of Adam, it is all through the sod, all of the prophets were called son of Adam. Every time Jehovah spoke to one of the prophets, He said, son of Adam. In the King James it is translated son of man, but the word is son of Adam, son of man, son, son, son, son of Adam, and

5 Adam is the son of God. All through the sod we talk about Zeir Anpin the son, Zeir Anpin, the son, Zeir Anpin the son. We are going to read this article, I tell again before I start, it is written by a Messianic Jew who is commenting on a Jewish phenomenon that he believes is invalid, you have to know where it is coming from. This is the article now. Recently there has been a wave of excitement rushing throughout Israel and across the internet to the far parts the western world regarding a revelation of Israel s oldest and most revered Kabbalistic Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri, and in parentheses, it says, Rabbi Kaduri passed away on January 28 th 2006, that is not quite a year and a half ago, and the revelation is basically this, so now we have this messianic Jew relating this revelation that he does not agree with, this is the revelation, still reading from the article, before he died, we are talking about Rabbi Kaduri now, before he died he said that he recently met the Messiah. He told his disciples that he would leave a written note with the mystery code of the identity of the Messiah written out, and he had them promise that this note was not to be opened until one year after his death. It now one year later after Rabbi Kaduri s death and the note has been opened. In it there were six Hebrew words stating, quote, he will lift the people and prove that his word and Torah are valid, unquote. I have to tell you here that in my very educated experience because I am speaking from personal experience, the Lord will teach people, different people in different ways. When the Lord first brought me into this study of Kabbalah, I asked Him if it was necessary for me to learn the Hebrew letters and the practice called gematria, which is a manipulation of the Hebrew letters by which Hebrew scholars get revelation. The Lord never answered me directly but this is five or six years later and He has not brought me to that study yet, the understanding is in my heart that the Lord can teach me a lot of truth, Kabbalistic truths the Lord has already told me, and what I read that sounds alien to me, when I prayed about it, the Lord gives me the understanding without the manipulation of the Hebrew letters. I am convinced at this point, at least in my case I speak from experience, that I can get the same understanding from the Scripture as the Kabbalists can without learning the Hebrew letters, without learning Hebrew, and without learning gematria which I have not had any success at all in learning, I have tried and I have had no success at all. I have to believe that if the Lord wanted me to learn to this gematria or to be able to memorize the Hebrew alphabet which I have accomplished several times and then I lose it, it cannot stay in my mind; it does not stay in my memory. If that was what He wanted, I would be able to do it, but he is not using that with me, he is teaching me. He is teaching me the same spiritual truth that he is teaching the kabbalists through a different medium, and I just know in my spirit that no kabbalists would ever believe this, but in my case it has been the truth. I get the same revelation before I read them in the Kabbalistic literature, I am sorry all my Jewish brethren, I am Jewish, that would be a spirit of pride in the kabbalists saying this is the only way God can teach you to sod, you have to learn Hebrew, but the Lord has told me otherwise and he is teaching me the same teaching without learning Hebrew. I will read the next sentence to you. This was what Rabbi Kaduri said, I am going to repeat it, he will lift the people and prove that his word and Torah are valid.

6 This is what Rabbi Kaduri s descendants, going on with the writing, taking the first letter of each of these six words, which was the code, the six words were the code, spelled out the name Yehoshua, a form of Jesus in the Hebrew. The Hebrew of these six words, he will lift the people and prove that his word and Torah are valid, not six English words, the six Hebrew words that this is a translation of, the translation is, he will lift the people and prove that his word and Torah are valid, that was translated from six Hebrew words. The Jewish scholars took the first letter of each Hebrew word which is a common practice called gematria, the common practice doing that amongst Jewish scholars, and the first letter of these six words spell out Yehoshua, a form of Jesus name in the Hebrew. I would like to mention as an aside, that I had a very similar word as this; he will lift the people and prove that his word and Torah are valid. Quite a few years ago, the Lord sent me into a service in a local church, the pastor of which had picked up a, I probably do not know the full extent to which he campaigned against me when he saw what I was preaching, I know that he was praying against me, and I know that he would not talk to me after he saw me after he listened to one of my messages, and I probably do not know to the extent of which he prayed against me, but I received the word from the Lord one night, go to the service at that church, and when I went to the service at that church, it was a glorious night, the spirit was very high, the pastor had just returned from Russia and he had taken his oldest son which was a pretty young man, maybe he was only 14 or 15, to Russia with him and there was such a spirit of celebration in the church, and the pastor stood up on the pulpit excited, visibly excited saying, I am apostle, I am apostle, and speaking to his congregation he said, there are plenty of pastors here, you will be taken care of, in other words your pastor has been promoted to an apostle. The music was high, everybody was jumping and singing. Then a man brought forth a prophecy and the only thing that stuck in my mind, I tried to get that prophecy, I knew it was written down, nobody, I called the church, they would not send it to me, the one phrase was, the true doctrine will be vindicated. Is that not the same? Listen to the content, the true doctrine will be vindicated, and here Rabbi Kaduri wrote, he will prove that his word and Torah are valid, the word is valid, the true doctrine will be vindicated, it is the same word, is it not? I did not know what it meant, I left the church, I cannot tell you when it happened but shortly after that, certainly within a year, that is interesting, this pastor entered into an affair with the church secretary, whether or not he ran away with, I am told he ran away with all of the money by someone who was really in the leadership of that church at the time; but what I know for a fact is the anointing left the church and this pastor one day closed his Bible right on the pulpit and said, the Lord is not with me anymore I am leaving, and walked out, and took the church secretary and ran off to Florida leaving his wife and his two or three children behind, that is public knowledge, he took the church secretary, left his family, and moved to Florida, divorced his wife and married this other woman. It never occurred to me until tonight, well let me say it this way, the true word was vindicated. I always thought that, that meant the true written word would be vindicated, and I never understood it completely except to think that the man who made such a campaign against the true word was brought down from his high position. But as I sit here before you today, what is coming to me is that Jesus is the word, and that the Lord was not talking about the written word, that the true word would be vindicated, what the Lord was saying to me was that the person that carries the word is the word, whoever carries Christ and speaks for Christ, at the moment that he is speaking for

7 Christ, he is Christ, when I am truly speaking the words for Christ, I am Sheila the Christ, not every minute of my life, but every word that I say that is truly out of His life within me, at that moment I am Sheila the Christ, and it is the same for you too. The Lord was saying, and of course we know there are Scriptures in the Old Testament that say, we are His words, we are His words, right? Is that not in the Old Testament? It is in one of the Psalms if I am not mistaken. The Lord was saying, I was a word, and this pastor was a word, and one of us was a counterfeit word, and the true word would be vindicated. The false word was brought down and taken out of the pulpit. After all of these years I finally got this full understanding of what happened. Did I make it clear what I am saying? I never saw it that way before. The person who was the true word, the person who was the true expression of Christ was vindicated by the fact that I am still standing and this ministry is still standing and the man who think really led a very strong campaign, like I said, I do not know the half of it, against me and against this word, went down in disgrace, and the destruction is still following him, not that I am happy to hear it, but I understand the woman that he left his wife for had a nervous breakdown and he is now not with her anymore. His oldest son died in an accident, his ex-wife, the mother of his children died leaving a couple of, even though they were adults, even young adults need their mother, a young lady in her early twenties, when she gets married and she has her children, you need your mother, you need your mother as long as you can have her. Tragedy is still following that man and that family, and I was going to say something else but it slipped my mind because I sort of overwhelmed, I never, always knew that I did not have the full grasp of the meaning of it, I just knew that it was for me and that his disgrace and his fall from his position meant somehow that the true word was vindicated. I always questioned the Lord, what does this man s fall have to do with doctrine? I could not understand that, and today I understand it is not about doctrine, and what the Lord was really saying was the true manifesting of the word, the person speaking the truth of the word will be vindicated, the person who campaigned against me, they are now in disrepute. I tell you to all of the people that he campaigned against me to; as far as I know not one of them has connected his fall to anything other than he was taken with the church secretary. Not one pastor that he encouraged to pray against me or pray, agreed to pray against me with him, to the best of my knowledge is realizing that, that was a judgment that fell on him. You do not just fall for the church secretary and run away, it was a spiritual judgment for coming against the holy word of God, which I was preaching out of obedience to the Lord. Here now we see a word from Rabbi Kaduri that the true word will be proven to be valid, and he is saying here by gematria that Jesus will be proven to be valid, not the true doctrine, but Jesus is the living word. The man who is the manifestation of the word will be vindicated. That is just so exciting to me. How can you, how do you vindicate a doctrine, one has opinion and the other has another opinion, how do you validate a doctrine, no, no, you validate the man by his lifestyle. What happened with this man who preached against me, that was a negative validation, I do not believe that, that prophecy is fulfilled yet. I think if the Lord is going to validate the person who

8 carries His word, there has to be signs and wonders following, there simply has to be signs and wonders following. There were two sides to the word, the word of God is a double edged sword, the first side was that he took down the man who for all I know was still praying against me, and I was so sick in those days, and it has been extremely difficult getting this ministry off of the ground. He may have still been praying against me, he may have been a powerful force that was hindering the promotion or the moving forward of this ministry that carries the true word that is coming forth. The first step was to take down the hindrance that was stopping the events that will validate the word to unbelievers which are signs and wonders. Signs and wonders are for the unbeliever. The believer is supposed to recognize the anointing on me. Most of the church cannot recognize the anointing on me which in God s eyes, now hear this, if you cannot recognize Christ in a fallen man, because I am just a carnal mind, I am just a person like you and I am carnal some of the time, if you cannot recognize the anointing on me, you are an unbeliever by God s standards. Jude talks about people that cannot recognize the anointing; he calls them clouds without water. That is interesting, that means the majority of the church are unbelievers which lines up with what I have been saying all along. What makes you a true believer or at a least a male believer, and to be a true believer you need to ascend into spiritual manhood, is that Christ is grafted to you and the wisdom of God is manifesting through you; everything else you are a spiritual female, and you are only valid if you are under a spiritual male, who is giving his anointing to you. That is a hard word; the whole church will shortly find out that it is true. You can complain all that you want; yell and scream all that you want, but God s truth is God s truth. We have just had an unfortunate incident here with someone screaming and yelling that their truth is the truth, but only God s truth is the truth, and God s truth will be vindicated. We have, this is a Kabbalistic community now, they have the word from the Rabbi who has passed on; he died a year and a half ago, that Jesus is Messiah. Back to the article now: An article published by a supposed Messianic magazine printed here in Israel and in parentheses, I say supposed because the publisher while claiming to be a believer denies the deity of Yeshua. Did you know that there are a lot, well there are Jews out there, I will not say a lot, there are Jews in Jewish communities that believe that Jesus was Messiah, but the Jew does not believe that Messiah is God? They believe that Jesus was Messiah but they do not believe that Jesus was God. We are preaching here which is radical to a Christian and would probably disqualify us from any Christian hearing this but I preach the truth as God shows it to me, Jesus was not God in the days of His flesh. Today Jesus is God; the ascended glorified Jesus is God. Let me ask you a question, would God really say, I only say and do what my father tells me to say and do, is that what God says? If you are almighty God, in human garment, do you say, I only say and do what my father says? Does almighty God have a father over him? Jesus was the Messiah, He was the true manifestation of Messiah, born of a woman, a human being, the only difference was He was born with the spirit of Elijah which gave him the power to overcome, but He overcame, He was given the weapon and He overcame, and He ascended into full stature.

9 Messiah is a human being who is ascended into full stature. Why would God say, I have a father in heaven, and I only do what He tells me. Christians do not think, we do not think, think, think you have to think, you are not insulting God if you ask questions. What I just told you is that the, at least this particular concept of Messiah, whether or not He was God in the flesh, that I as a Christian believe what the Kabbalists say, I do not believe the doctrine in the church. The Kabbalists do not believe that Jesus was God when He ascended either, but I believe upon His ascension became one with God, not that He was God, He became one with God, and He was God, upon His departure from the physical body, He ascended is now higher than any other name. The Kabbalists will not agree with me on that, but at least we can agree on who Jesus was in the days of His flesh, or come close to agreeing. I have been saying for years, observing Jews and now it is more than observing Jews, Jews who study and are involved in the sod of the Scripture will never, ever believe the doctrine in the church. When you compare the doctrine in the church to the sod of the Scripture, you just know that the doctrine in the church is just plain wrong with a few exceptions, it is just plain wrong. We in Christ Centered Kabbalah, are a connecting link between the church and the Kabbalistic community. At this time we have had limited contacts with the Kabbalistic community, but contact we have had when the Lord has opened the door. We are the connecting link and we preach here today that Jesus was not God in the days of His flesh, in fact Jesus was the angel or it was Christ in Jesus that John was talking to when John bowed down to Him, and the angel said to him, do not bow down to me, I am just a man. I asked the Lord, who in the world was John talking to? If he said he was a man, who was John talking to, who was this great person with all of this wisdom and great knowledge that was imparting this to John that John was so overwhelmed that he bowed down to them, who could that have been other than Jesus? He said, I am a man just like you are. If we would just come out of our indoctrination and think freely and ask the Lord to a give us the truth, you will see that Jesus was not God in the days of His flesh. He was a man in full stature which is a very exciting word. If Jesus was just a man who attained to full stature, that means every single one of us has the same potential. If he was born God we have no hope of getting there, what is our hope of getting there if He was born God? Let us put down our religious spirits and rejoice in the truth. I am going to repeat what I said here, reading the article: An article published by a supposed Messianic magazine printed here in Israel, and this is parentheses, I say supposed because the publisher while claiming to be a believer denies the deity of Yeshua. This is the Messianic Jew criticizing another Messianic Jew that denies that Yeshua was God in the days of His flesh. This article I will read again without the parentheses. An article published by a supposed Messianic magazine printed here in Israel says, that he conducted the interviews personally in which he discovered many of the rabbis who are followers of Rabbi Kaduri are either bewildered but confirm the validity of the note, while others are calling it a forgery. Either way the debates have begun. Did the Rabbi point his people to Yeshua, Jesus, the God of the Christians? I am still reading the article: Yehoshua is the Hebrew form of the Aramaic Yeshua which Messianic Jews use for Jesus, since His name would have been the Aramaic form, and in parentheses, it is widely accepted that Jesus would have spoken Aramaic. Back to the beginning of that paragraph: Yehoshua is the Hebrew form of the Aramaic Yeshua which Messianic Jews use for Jesus, since his name would have been the Aramaic form, Jesus is the Anglicized version

10 of the Greek translation of Yeshua, the Aramaic form, and spelled in Greek, Iosus. Of course this speculation has Christians and Messianic Jews alike very excited, hoping that the Jews about to realize the identity of their Messiah. I can tell you it is not easy being the spoiler as so often I am, but I believe this is a deception. This is the Messianic Jew criticizing, you know writing this article and criticizing what is going on here. I can tell you it is not easy being the spoiler as so often I am, but I believe that this is a deception. He believes that Rabbi Kaduri s supposed note is a deception. It endangers Jews and Christians alike and he says I will tell you why. He is not suggesting that the note is a deception, he is saying it is a deception that Rabbi Kaduri meant that the identity of Messiah is Jesus. The Messianic Jew, the Jew that believes that Jesus is Messiah says that Rabbi Kaduri s note, or the interpretation of Rabbi Kaduri s note to be that Rabbi Kaduri recognizes Jesus as Messiah is a deception. On the surface we would be saying, Hallelujah, Rabbi Kaduri recognizes Jesus as Messiah, but the Messianic Jew criticizing these events, says I do not think it is a good thing that Rabbi Kaduri s note suggests that Jesus is Messiah, I do not think it is a good thing. Now he is going to tell us why he says it is not a good thing. Reading the article: Let me start by giving you an excerpt of an article I wrote in 2005 on this very issue. Excerpt from an article I published on October 7 th, 2005 called the anti-christ cometh, so now this is an article within an article. Increasingly, there has been talk of the coming Messiah, and in fact not long ago, it was leaked that the Messiah had indeed come and was here in Israel waiting for the right time to be revealed. This leak is a precursor to such an announcement in what will no doubt be the very near future. It could be days or weeks, or it could be months or even a couple of years, but it will be the earliest possible opportunity depending on prevailing circumstances and I do not think it will be long. What the writer of this article is saying, he is referring to something that happened a couple of years ago about some electricity traveling through the Jewish community that Messiah is here already and waiting in Israel to be revealed. The writer of the article says he does not find this valid, he thinks it is not real and he is going to tell you why. He is relating, this article and event of 2005 that there are leaks in the Jewish community that the Messiah is already here and living in Israel. He is relating that to Rabbi Kaduri s note that Messiah is Jesus; the writer of this article is suggesting that Rabbi Kaduri s note saying Messiah is Jesus is a precursor to the revelation of a false Christ. That is what he is suggesting, that Israel is about to be confronted with a false Christ. I am still continuing to read the article within the article; this is the article from I must say that the Messiah they are talking about is not Yeshua, it stands to reason then that it must be an, or even possibly thee anti-messiah. Let me explain something about Kabbalah; there is nothing Scriptural or Biblical about the practice of Kabbalah, it is Persian mysticism brought from the Babylonian captivity and it has been melted into rabbinic studies and teachings so much so that to argue against its Jewishness and Biblical roots will bring an immediate and heated response from any religious Jew and even from any secular Jews. It is simply accepted by the majority that it is Jewish mysticism which is quite acceptable as far as God is concerned, at least according to the Jews who believe in it.

11 Kabbalah is devilish in its origins and there is nothing acceptable about it, there are Kabbalah centers all over Israel and around the world and true adherence are forced to awaken around 3 to 4 a.m. and spend several hours meditation, teachings, and repetitive chanting. Most do this before they then go to work or school and then home to their families, they carry on regular lives while they are daily sleep deprived and brainwashed. It is highly dangerous. I want to comment on that because we teach Kabbalah here. First of all there are three or four kinds of Kabbalah. I use to know what the four kinds were, I only know at this point is the kind of Kabbalah that we teach here, which is the spirit of the word. We teach philosophical Kabbalah which is the spirit of the word, it is advanced doctrine of Christ, we do not engage in any rituals here at all. There is a complete denial in this man s article that there is more than one kind of Kabbalah. The other kind of Kabbalah that I know about it magical Kabbalah and that is Kabbalah being used to work magic, to gain power or whatever, usually witchcraft is manifested to gain power. There is no recognition here of the different kinds of Kabbalah. I find this very interesting because I see an analogy between this and the Jewish, the traditional Jewish belief that there is only one kind of Christian, and the one kind of Christian that every Jew I have ever met believes is the Christian is Catholicism which I do not believe is Christianity at all. The head of the Catholic Church is Mary. Although we do have some well-meaning Catholic people who today read the Bible, as recently I think as 50 or 60 years ago, Catholics were forbidden to read the Bible. Today we have Catholics reading the Bible, or even Catholics who did not read the Bible who have a true connection with the living God. Luther, well Luther read the Bible because he was a monk or a priest, but I am not saying it is impossible for Catholics to have a relationship or to find a connection with the living God, but the average Catholic or at least before they were allowed to read the Bible, did not. They were caught in the bondage of the rituals of the Catholic Church and the higher ups in the Catholic Church know that the head of the church is Mary, yet they are taught Jesus. I am not here to bash the Catholic church, I believe that some people in the Catholic church that have a legitimate relationship with the Lord but they are still in, sorry as far as I am concerned in a pagan religion. My whole point here is that I see this Messianic Jew lumping all forms of Kabbalah together, just like Jews lump all forms of Christianity together. You cannot compare Bible believing Christians who are living their faith to the Catholic Church. There are many Catholic people who are very moral, but it is just a different spirit on them, and being moral does not give you a personal relationship with the living God. It is not the same thing. We see this, I just pray all of the time, that the Lord just reveals and delivers me from all ignorance, because I have been guilty of things like this until the Lord has enlightened me, and I confess ignorance on every level where it may exist and as the Lord to deliver me. He enlightens me every day. We can only be enlightened so much at a time. We can only experience so much change, we are limited, we are human, you know. But I know that there has to be areas in which I am ignorant, there has to be. I just hope that the Lord enlightens me and the areas that I expect Him to enlighten me in are the areas where ignorance is affecting my life today. I am very ignorant about a lot of things, but what is it that I am ignorant about that is limiting me today? That is where the Lord is going to come and shine the light and I pray that He does it without hesitation, because I do not want to be ignorant.

12 Ignorance, to call someone ignorant is not an insult. I call myself ignorant in every area that I am in darkness, so this Messianic Jew is in darkness, he does not know that there are four kinds of Kabbalah, and if you go on to the internet and you check out the Kabbalah sites, you will see, well personally I only know of one or two of them, but they call themselves kosher Kabbalah, Kabbalah that is the real thing, Kabbalah that God works through to educate and mature His people and it is very a godly thing and the anointing is intense. The man, young or otherwise, I guess he is spiritually young, is ignorant of this fact, so he says there is nothing Scriptural or Biblical about the practice of Kabbalah. That might be true, but there is a Kabbalah, I mean to be when he uses the word practice He is talking about the rituals. The study of Kabbalah is Scriptural, extremely so. He says, it is Persian mysticism from the Babylonian captivity and it has melted into rabbinic studies and teachings. This may be true, I have a whole message on this, which is going on the radio, it is my message on Romans chapter 1, the spiritual understanding of Romans chapter 1, part 4, this is what I said in that message and I will say it again. The Jews when they emerged as descendants of Abraham had only the culture of Abraham and Isaac, and Isaac had the culture of Abraham, and Jacob, they only had the culture of the world around them which was all paganism and witchcraft and everything that it says here, what does he call it here? Mysticism, Babylon, well he calls it Persian mysticism. Then when the Jew went into captivity, yes, they were exposed to Persian Babylonian mysticism. This is the foundation from which the Lord taught them, but He explained to them that the mysticism and the paganism of the world that they existed in at that time came out of the carnal mind. Let me start again because I did not get this straight, spiritual truth is spiritual truth and if you can find it, spiritual truth is present in every spiritual philosophy, but it is not always presented from the same spirit is every spiritual philosophy. I will use the example of Moses, Moses was raised up in the Egyptian courts, he was raised as Pharaoh s son, Pharaoh s daughter s son, he was raised up and educated in every area including Egyptian mystery religion. There was no Jewish philosophy, there was only the philosophy of the nations around which is the spiritual truth as perceived by the carnal mind. What Jehovah did was He took Moses with Moses education and said to him, all of that mystery knowledge of Egyptian philosophy, I am going to show you what is the truth and what is not the truth, and I am going to show it to you from the side of the mind of God. That is what happened, I cannot go into the whole teaching again, if you want to hear it more deeply, look for my message Romans Chapter 1, Part 4 because I go into this in complete detail. Even today in the church there is no teaching on spiritual philosophy in the church. Spiritual philosophy, the truth of our existence, where we came from, what happened to us, where we are going, coming out of the mind of God, it is only what is in the carnal mind of man what is in the church. I started to be; I will put this on this message, I cannot re-preach Romans chapter 1 here but I heard, I wish I could remember the name of the lecturer, all I can remember is that he is dead and I saw his lectures on the public TV station and got very upset because this man was preaching, he was a western man probably born either Jewish or Christian but he was preaching on pagan

13 philosophy as the truth and one of the things he revealed was a story about a baby that was put in boat of reeds and floated down the river and found by some woman who raised him, and it is the story of Moses, that it was told centuries before it ever happened to Moses. He was using that information to disprove the Christian Bible and call it a counterfeit. I was quite upset when I heard that lecture; I watched the man s whole series. He was very interesting and he was a teacher, a professor in a college, in a university, he was very knowledgeable. I was distressed and I asked the Lord, what is the answer to that when someone comes to me with that, what is the answer? It took a while, I do not know how long, but the Lord showed me what I am trying to tell you now, that there is a foundational spiritual truth that comes forth in the midst of civilizations all over the world and throughout time, spiritual truth that there baby that was abandoned and that is of course a parable of the fall of man, and how we are being rescued. That spiritual truth rose up from the unconscious mind of pagan religions all over and it was developed into a myth that was indigenous to each nation. When God gave Moses the Torah, the five books of Moses to write, Jehovah drew upon what Moses already knew, and said to him, Moses, there is a foundational spiritual truth, you already know what it is, you were taught it when you were taught mystery Egyptian religion in Egypt, but I am going to show it to you from the side of God, and I am also going to show you that this particular spiritual truth was manifested in reality in you, because you are savior, Moses was the savior of that age. Moses was the savior of the Jewish people or the Hebrew people under those circumstances. Spiritual truths manifests themselves over and over again, there is nothing new under the sun. Genuine foundational archetypal spiritual truths; manifests themselves over and over again. Moses and the Torah is not a counterfeit, it is just one more expression of a true spiritual truth, but this one is out of the side of the mind of God, plus Moses was a physical manifestation of that truth. The answer, I wish I could remember that man s name, to that lecturer was, well we are not just talking about philosophy here, this spiritual truth actually manifested as the man Moses. You are telling me that, that myth existed in this pagan religion and this myth existed in that pagan religion, you show me a nation where that myth was made flesh. I did not hear him saying that. I did not hear this lecturer putting forth a nation in which this myth became flesh. We have here our author saying that Kabbalah is Babylonian. Well maybe it is, maybe certain aspects of it are Babylonian but who is to say that our God cannot extract the truth out of whatever we learn anywhere because there is only one foundational archetypal truth. If you see similar truth in Babylon, does that mean that I have, that what I am preaching is error because it sounds like what they are preaching in Babylon because in Babylon they have some measure of the archetypal foundational spiritual truth? Grow up, everybody has to grow up. The bottom line is the spirit, what spirit is teaching you, what spirit is living through you, what spirit is manifesting through you, what spirit is leading you? Try the spirit brethren, try the spirit. It does not say try the doctrine, it says try the spirit. I cannot tell you how many people I have witnessed to the spirit on me, how many Christians have witnessed to the spirit on me, and then they hear what I teach and they throw me out. They do not believe the spirit; they believe their own understanding of what is true doctrine. God help us all.

14 Reading, talking about Kabbalah, it is Persian mysticism brought from the Babylonian captivity and it has been melted into Rabbinic studies and teachings, so much that to argue against its Jewishness and Biblical roots will bring an immediate and heated response from any religious Jew and even many secular Jews, it is simply accepted by the majority that it is Jewish mysticism, which is quite acceptable as far as God is concerned at least according to the Jews who believe in it. We see that our author is completely ignorant of the truth of spiritual philosophy as I have just explained it to you. Going on with, this is the article within the article; Kabbalah is devilish in its origins. Well it very well might be, it very well might be, the spiritual truth of our existence, and I believe that all of this philosophy came forth from Nimrod and Cush; they were the first people to perceive spiritual truth. Abraham believed all of this stuff, but Jehovah took it and showed it to him from the right side of God. It is still the truth. Of course this man is speaking about rituals. The only thing that I have to say about rituals brethren is the same thing that I have to say about spiritual practices. This is what I understand to date; the manifestation of spiritual or the exercise of spiritual authority it comes on two levels that I know of, the first level is when you use ritual, and you spill blood. The Hebrew children spilled blood, they sacrificed animals and they did rituals and the Jews today, well they do not spill blood anymore, although I am told some of them sacrifice chickens, I do not know if that is true, but ever since the temple was destroyed, there are no more sacrifices, but practicing Jews do observe rituals; they put on tefillin, they say ritualistic prayers, they do, do this. They are still following the rules that were given to the Hebrew children at Mount Sinai. The manifestation of spiritual power that was given to the Jews at Mount Sinai included ritual. That is where the Aaronic priesthood came from; it includes ritual. When we look at the corresponding witchcraft in the world today, the illegal exercise of spiritual power, it includes ritual, with voodoo, there is spilling of blood, drinking of blood, although the Jews did not drink the blood, but then there is a higher level of exercise of spiritual power and that is the exercise of spiritual power through the power of the voice alone, and that is the power that comes out of the throat energy center or the Kabbalists call it the neck, the Hindus call it the throat, the Kabbalists call it the neck, it the same thing because the energy center goes from the front to the back. It is the exercise of spiritual power by the spoken word only. That is the definition of sorcerer brethren. If you are exercising spiritual power apart from the will of God, by the power of the spoken word, you are a sorcerer. That is a very high level of spiritual power that you just speak it and it is done. Satan is not original in anything, everything she does is counterfeit. What is the corresponding exercise of spiritual power in God? There is a level of spiritual power in God that is manifested by the spoken word that is legal because it is the Spirit of God driving it through the man. That is what we hope for today. The Scripture says call things into existence that are not, that do not yet exist. I don t have that power yet, I would like that power, every time I say something like that the Lord says to me, what would you do with it if I gave it to you? What would you do with it? I hope that all I would do with it would be to create limbs that are not there, eyesight that is not there, or to meet the needs in this material world of what the Lord is telling me to do. If I had the power to do that today, the first thing I would do is to heal everybody in the ministry. The second thing that I would do is bring forth the resources that would permit us to run this ministry the way the Lord has told me to run it.
