1 July Dec 2011 The Remnant s Walk Rev 18-2, And He cried in a strong, great, voice saying Babylon the Great has fallen, it has fallen and become the dwelling place of those possessed by demons and every foul spirit, and a home of every unclean bird, even the home of every unclean and hateful beast! Congregation of YHWH, Jerusalem, Po Box 832, Carteret NJ or 1

2 Personal Greetings Brethren, And Shalom in the wonderful names of Yahweh and Yahshua, the name above all names. In this special issue of the Remnant s walk we are going to focus on end time Babylon and the effect that Babylon has had in America and the world at large. So many in this end time are falsely believing they are living by faith when in reality their god is their false security that Babylon brings. They are trusting in the weekly piece of paper with dead dignitaries instead of trusting in the living Elohim of the universe. Most have no idea how they are guinea pigs being conditioned by the system to trust in insurance and IRA s and government health care and social programs, and when you leave all these things behind you are looked at as the fool, but better a fool for Yahweh, than all the wisdom of Babylon. Leaving Babylon is not meant to make your physical life easier, and many that have left Babylon have not adapted this concept yet. We know of some that have left America even 5 or more years ago, but have never left Babylon. They are self consumed about their own lives and easy living. Many have a rebellious spirit, and don t want to be under any type of authority, just as Moses dealt with Korah and Abirim and On. This is what our wilderness journey is all about. It is about Yahweh purifying those that are His, and separating the wheat from the chaff. I left America for 2 reasons. One was that to me Scripture clearly says that we should leave Babylon, because Yahweh is going to destroy it for all its harlotry and wickedness. The second reason that I left America is I truly believe that Yahweh s Kingdom will come and if I want to be in that Kingdom, I know from Scripture that I must overcome sin. I knew when I left that life would not be easier, but I also knew 100% that only the over comers will enter the Kingdom. I honestly believe and fear that if I don t overcome I will not inherit eternal life. Even the Apostle Paul stated What good be if I save many others and I myself become a castaway? I believe this is a major problem in the body of believers today. Everyone always puts themselves in the best category; either the bride or the one of the 144,000 going to some place of safety away from any harm or trouble. That is what Babylon has bred. It is just like the rapture. Our brothers and sisters all over the globe are suffering and dying daily, but when the tribulation comes, then all the American believers will get whisked off to heaven and never see pain in this life. Fairytales! Babylon is about avoiding any pain in the flesh, not dying to the flesh. More souls will be lost in this end time than any other time before us and this is the most wicked evil generation that mankind has seen. If the Brethren would just wake up and start to think this way, to make Yahweh number one in their life and overcoming sin and the world the top priority and not seeking mammon, then the body would be much stronger today. It will be a hard road with many bumps in the real wilderness out of the US, but I believe it is a must for salvation. Whether that will come now to some, or to the many later when America falls is for each to decide under inspiration of Yahweh. We don t judge anyone for where they feel their walk is to be at present. We are but mere he goats before the flock as Jer 50:8 states. The difference with living in Babylon is knowing the difference between a want and a need. So many misunderstand the reason for leaving Babylon. They say where are you going to go, where is it any better, and in one aspect they are right. Life away from the US can be very rough at times. In America you have rights as a citizen, where once you leave you are only a sojourner. We are like our fore-father Abraham who wandered in the land of promise only as a pilgrim living in tents with Isaac and Jacob the heirs of the promise. He also died as a sojourner not yet receiving the promise, but believing that the one who promised (Yahweh) was able to perform what he had set out to do, and here we are at the end of that promise and still sojourneying about waiting for Yahweh to fulfill the promise to Abraham through us in this last generation. So you can see that leaving Babylon is not about moving to a better and more secure physical existence, for how could one outdo the mother of all pleasure seeking and harlotries? It is about leaving the façade that Babylon brings and coming to the reality of how unsettled this world really is. Why won t most leave America? Because they are trusting in the false sense of security that Babylon is feeding them. It is as they believe as Psalms 49 states: Psa 49:11 Their inward thought is that their houses shall last forever, their dwelling-places to all generations; they call lands after their own names. Psa 49:12 But man shall not remain high in honor; he is like the animals; they shall be cut off. 2

3 It is hard for people to see this in Babylon because, sorry to say, many Americans have made a god out of the land of America and their lives in America. They have made a god out of their possessions, and families and jobs. In America it is not who you are, but what do you do. If you don t have a college degree from Satan s worldly education system, then you are nothing. This is idolatry before our heavenly Father, and not many seem to care. There is a great destruction coming on the land of America, and sorry to say many are going to be rolled over with it. Not because they have to. Not because our father does not love them, but because they love their lives and the praise of men more than Yahweh. Rev 12:11 talks about those who overcome the Devil, it is these who love not their lives even unto death. We need, as the body of true believers, to start to walk in pure holiness as never before. And that means to live by every word out of the mouth of Yahweh, not just what is convenient. But so many live all week for this godless world, working unrighteous jobs, watching never ending hours of unrighteous TV with every filth possible, and coveting possessions as a way of life. The government in America through world democracy has enslaved the souls of men. They make wars such as Afghanistan for their own greedy gain and illegal drug smuggling and then they portray it through their false prophet (the TV) that they are doing something righteous for mankind. Do people really think when Yahshua returns that America will disarm completely at Yahshua s command, and dismantle every nuclear bomb and weapon? Do you think America will gladly outlaw abortion and homosexuals, as Yahshua will do? No America will be the first ones to Armageddon, to fight Yahshua with everything they have in the name of World democracy and freedom. The same world democracy that has poor black children in the Ivory Coast sold for $50 so they can become slaves in the cocoa fields, so that Americans can have cheap cocoa. I guess that is how much human life is worth to world democracy. It has poor Mexicans and Filipinos working in sweat shops for.30c an hour (if they re lucky) so we can have nice clothing and westerners can live like kings. It is everything that is against Yahweh and Yahshua and their Kingdom of true righteousness and justice. But sad to say most in the West love their lifestyles and just don t see it as that bad. Some will even tell you we are not in the end time! Things are not that bad! There are over 200 wars worldwide and drought that is starving over 2 billion people. That is right 2 billion, just think of that number alone. Plague epidemics like aids that have over 100 million infected and many other millions already dead. And world terror and immorality that makes Sodom and Gomorrah look like boy scouts. I have heard one say that if Yahweh does not punish America for her immorality, than He will owe an apology to Sodom and Gomorrah. As you are seeing brethren, if you are one of the ones that will continually seek truth it will become a very narrow road. And as time goes on it even will get narrower and lonelier. But where will my help come from? My help comes from Yahweh (Ps 121:1-2). It is amazing to see that when eternity is in front of us, zillions and zillions of years without end, that people would live for time, maybe 60 or 70 or 80 years now in Satan s world. So many just do not want to make the sacrifice Yahweh requires and go further. But it is exciting to see the ones who are making that dedication. This is a life that requires us to die to flesh every day that the Spirit may live. Giving up worldly material things one by one, until we have nothing left to give except to love one another. Our assets are in faith, love and justice, not mammon, and our Heavenly Father is faithful to provide. Since we left America almost 12 years ago, He has done so many miracles for us I can t begin to tell you. In these end times, we must clothe ourselves in faith as a daily way of life. We must have daily contact with Yahweh and be seeking Him in all decisions we make. We must guard and condition our minds fully on His word, the Holy Bible. And most of all we must start to come out of her my people, and day by day and step by step start the purifying process out of Babylon and clear our minds of the filth that Satan has been transmitting to us since the Garden of Eden. Leaving the physical land of Babylon is the end result of that faith, but it must start day by day in every small decision we make. We must never compromise our values and beliefs that come from the very character of Yahweh Himself and we must have the courage to stand firm in faith until the day Yahshua returns. Yes leaving Babylon is a process of mind and must start today. B Shem Yahshua, Don 3

4 Who is End Time Babylon? Did you ever wonder why a country as big and powerful as America is not mentioned in Bible prophecy? Well, the answer is, it is! You Need To Know! By Don Esposito were never fulfilled. As a matter of fact, when Persia overtook Babylon, the city gates never closed, the city never stopped trading, and it was never even remotely totally destroyed. If you read Revelation 17 and 18 and the parallel account in Jeremiah 50 and 51, you will see undoubtedly that America is the great end time Babylon talked about in the Bible. I will take you through all the scriptures and show you point blank that no other country but America fits every scripture concerning end time Babylon. One thing I will state before we start, that some had thought that Jeremiah 50 and 51 were fulfilled some 2500 years ago when Persia overtook Babylon. But as you read the account you will see that these scriptures 4 Also, when Persia overtook ancient Babylon we see from scripture that King Cyrus was very accommodative to the Jews living there and even allowed them to return to Jerusalem and build the temple. There is no mass fleeing of people as we see in Jeremiah. The prophecies of Jeremiah chapters 50 and 51 are for our time today. You could look in any history book about that time period and prove it to yourself. Only America could fit end-time Babylon. I will take you point by

5 point to show you exactly what our Heavenly Father says will happen to this world economic and military might, known in Scripture as Babylon (America). Do not believe me, but believe your Bible. But once you ve proved it to yourself through the Holy Scriptures, then start to come out of her as Revelation 18:4 states lest you partake of her sins and receive of her plagues (Rev. 18:4). Babylon Characteristics Jeremiah 50:12 states, Your mother shall be deeply ashamed, she who bore you shall turn pale. Behold, the last of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. So we see that Babylon is a young nation. America, although the world s greatest super-power, is the youngest of all powerful industrialized nations on the face of the earth. (Read also Is. 47:12, 14). Jeremiah 51:13 reads, O you who live by many waters, rich in treasures, your end has come, the measure of your unjust gain and covetousness. America has never had a war in this land because of the waters around her borders. The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf of Mexico have been a natural defense to invasion. That soon will change! Jeremiah 50:37 states, A sword is on his horses and his chariots, and to all the mixed people in her midst. And they shall become as women. A sword is to her treasuries, and they shall be robbed. Also Revelation 17:15, The waters which you saw, where the harlot sits, are peoples and crowds and nations and tongues. Babylon is a great melting pot. No other nation on the face of the earth is a greater melting pot than America. Isaiah 47:9, talks about how much Babylon is into the occult. You don t have to look too far to see the average American reading his daily horoscope, or calling a psychic hotline or playing with Ouija boards or occultic material. Almost every president since Franklin Roosevelt used the occult. The Reagan s admitted after they left office almost every decision made while president, was based on astrological influences. Hillary Clinton has admitted to channeling and speaking with the late Eleanor Roosevelt. Yahweh is very specific about looking to false gods, and how evil idolatry is. We are to look only to Him, and the blood of His resurrected Son for our spiritual guidance. Jer 51:44, and Rev 17:16 states that Babylon reigns over the Kings of the earth, and all the nations assemble in her. Only the US has the United Nations that all the world s leaders assemble to her. But one characteristic more than any other tells her true identity, In the end time both houses of Judah and Israel, (Ephraim) are primarily living in Babylon, when Yahweh calls them back to the promised land Israel, Jer 50: 4 In these days, and at that time, the sons of Israel shall come, declares YAHWEH, they and the sons of Judah together, going and weeping; they shall go and seek YAHWEH their Elohim. 5 They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces pointing there, saying, Come and let us join ourselves to YAHWEH in an everlasting covenant never to be forgotten. 19 And I will again bring Israel to his home, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied on Mount Ephraim and Gilead. 20 In those days, and at that time, states YAHWEH, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and it is not; and the sins of Judah, and they will not be found; for I will pardon those whom I leave as a remnant. These scriptures have NEVER been fulfilled. They are end time. Whenever you see the phrase In those days and at that time it is a Hebrew idiom for the last days, Messianic times. Also, although Judah has come back to the physical land of Israel the northern tribes of Israel have never returned to the land and this clearly shows that it is end time. So whoever Babylon is there are more Jews and Israelites living there than any other country. Clearly this can only be America as there are almost 6 million Jews living in America and probably about 100 million Israelites who migrated after their captivity to Europe and many other countries before coming to the United States. Also Zech 2:7 says deliver yourself O Zion who dwells with the daughter of Babylon. Israel just like it was 2,500 years ago is once again captive in Babylon, and as He did before, Yahweh will deliver Zion, and bring her to her promised land, Israel. 5

6 Babylon: The Great Military Might Isaiah 47:5 states, O daughter of the Chaldeans, for they shall no more call you the lady of kingdoms (United States) dropping down to verse 8, Now, then, hear this, O pleasure seeker, who lives carelessly; who says in her heart, I am, and none else is; I shall not sit as a widow, nor shall I know the loss of children. Also, Revelation 18:7, By what things she glorified herself, and luxuriated, by so much give back to her torment and mourning. Because she says in her heart, I sit as a queen, and I am not a widow; and I shall not see sorrow. It is this exact prideful attitude of America that will bring her downfall. She has blinded herself in all her pleasures (TV, vacation, sports, restaurants, movies) that she cannot see reality any longer. Many parts of the world are suffering without food, water, electricity and gas. But the pleasure seeking American is more worried about his new car or TV, than not having the very necessities to survive. Just as Yahweh predicted: they will be eating and drinking right until the end. (Luke 17:26-30). Jeremiah 50:23 states, How the hammer (superpower) of all the earth is cut off and broken! Truly, only America is the hammer of the whole earth. No other country has been involved militarily, in virtually every country on the face of the earth. America even controls the United Nations, but not for long. In Habakkuk 1:7, it talks about the army of Babylon. He is terrible and fearful; his judgment and his glory goes forth from himself. Verse 8, His horses also are swifter than leopards (military machinery) and are fiercer than the evening wolves. And their horsemen spread themselves; yea, their horsemen come from afar; they shall fly as the eagle hurrying to eat. Verse 10, And he shall scoff against the kings, and officials shall be a scorn to him. He shall scorn every fortress, and he shall heap up dirt and capture it. You can see how great and mighty this army of Babylon (America) is. No other army on the face of the earth has the military power of America. Yet, in Jeremiah 50:30 it states, So her young men shall fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be silenced in that day, declares YAHWEH. Also Jeremiah 51:30, The mighty men of 6 Babylon have stopped fighting. They have dwelt in their strongholds; their might has withered; they became as women. That is why in Revelation 18:10 it states, standing from afar because of the fear of her torment, saying, Woe! Woe to the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment came. The world will be amazed that the #1 military might of the world has been broken to pieces. Do you know that America has absolutely no defense against a first strike nuclear attack? Absolutely none! In the past couple of years, very fragile parts of the world have developed nuclear weapons. Pakistan, India, Taiwan, and Iran have, just to name a few. And who knows how many others? It is reported that the Soviet Union has sold a number of their warheads to other nations including China and Iran. Yahweh s judgment will come down on this country for its pride, and moral laxity, and most of all for the killing of nearly 60 million unborn babies that have been aborted since the legalization of abortion back in To the point now that even partial birth abortion (when a baby is full term, and halfway out the birth canal and murdered) is legal. It is no wonder that Yahweh s judgment is coming. Babylon the Great Economic Power Revelation 18:3 states, Because of the wine of the anger of her fornication which all the nations have drunk, even the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her; and the merchants of the earth became rich from the power of her trade. Read also, Revelation 18:9-19, which summarized says, that all the merchants of the earth stand afar off and cry and weep and mourn because they don t buy her merchandise anymore. Interesting enough only America/Babylon has a commodity exchange that you can trade all 25 items listed in Rev 18:9-19. Only America is the steam engine of the world economy and only America/Babylon could fit this scripture. It goes on to state about all the merchandise that Babylon trades. It says that the merchants of the earth were made rich by Babylon. Verses 17-18, For in one hour such great wealth was desolated. And every ship-pilot and all company on the ships, and

7 sailors, and as many as work the sea, stood from afar, and cried out, seeing the smoke of her burning, saying, What other is like the great city? Verse 19, Woe! Woe to the great city, by which all those having ships in the sea were rich, from her costliness. In one hour she has been brought to ruin. Again, I ask, could any other nation on the face of the earth fit this description more completely than America? America is the greatest importing and exporting nation on the face of the earth. America by far has the highest standard of living and has lived as the richest country in the world. Only America could be the great end-time economic might called Babylon. Babylon s Destruction Why is Yahweh so displeased with Babylon? It basically comes down to two main reasons: Pride and pleasure seeking. Revelation 18:7 states, By what things she glorified herself, and luxuriated, by so much give back to her torment and mourning. Because she says in her heart, I sit as a queen, and I am not a widow; and I shall not see sorrow. Verse 8, Because of this, in one day her plagues shall come: death, and mourning, and famine; and she will be consumed with fire, for YAHWEH Elohim judging her is strong. Notice that although America will be destroyed by a world army, it is Yahweh who judges her. Jeremiah 50:31 says, Behold, I am against you, O proud one, says Adonai YAHWEH of Hosts, for your day has come, the time I will punish you. (Jer. 50:38). America has a love of money and pleasure not surpassed by anyone in the world. Nowhere in the world do you have 52 inch TVs with over 100 channels of sex and violence, restaurants on every corner, amusement parks, gambling halls and discotheques everywhere. Listen to what the Almighty Yahweh of the universe says about it in Isaiah 47:8, Now, then, hear this, O pleasure seeker, who lives carelessly; who says in her heart, I am, and none else is. Then in verse 10, For you trusted in your evil; you said, No one sees me. Your wisdom and your knowledge; it is turning you back, and you said in your heart, I am and none else is. The term I AM, is the name that Yahweh gave Himself at Mount Sinai, when Moses asked what Yahweh s name was. Americans have taken that name, meaning; they have made gods out of themselves. Because of their pride and pleasure seeking, each one has put his own welfare above anyone else s, including the Almighty Elohim. Jeremiah 50:41-42 tells the story of America s destruction. Behold, a people shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be stirred up from the farthest parts of the earth. They lay hold of a bow and a javelin, they shall be cruel and will show no mercy. Their voice shall roar like the sea, and arrayed like a man for the battle, they shall ride on horses (tanks) against you, O daughter of Babylon. Continued in Jeremiah 50:22-23, A sound of battle is in the land and of great ruin. How the hammer (superpower) of all the earth is cut off and broken! How Babylon has become a ruin among the nations! Some people think Babylon is only a system. But here plainly it shows you a land getting attacked and destroyed. Verse 26, Come against her from the end, open her granaries, pile her up as heaps and utterly destroy her. Do not let a remnant be left. Here in Jeremiah 50:39-40 is the complete destruction of America. So the beasts of the desert shall dwell there with jackals. And the daughters of the ostrich shall dwell in her again. And it shall not again have anyone in it forever; it shall not be lived in from generation and generation. As Elohim overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors, states YAHWEH, so no man shall live there, nor shall a son of man stay in it. Wow! You are looking at a total destruction. No wonder, like it says in Revelation 18, that all the world will be amazed how this great country could be destroyed so quickly. (Read also, Jer. 51:53-58, 62).

8 The Lunar Sabbath Illusion By don Esposito The very first thing that Yahshua warned His disciples to be careful about in the end time was deception. Math 24:3 And as He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, Tell us, when will these things be? And, what is the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age? 4 And answering, Yahshua said to them, see that no man deceives you. Today, it is easy to understand why He said this. Since the age of the Internet you see deception absolutely everywhere, but I don t think there is any greater deception than in the false doctrine of the Lunar Sabbath. I would like to conclusively show in this article, clear cut, precise, biblical reasons why it is impossible according to Scripture for the Sabbath to rotate according to the moon cycle. First of all, let s define what the lunar Sabbath false doctrine is. The Lunar Sabbath is the belief that the 7 th day is NOT the Sabbath, which is commonly understood by all today, including all Jews worldwide, to be Saturday on the Roman calendar. The Lunar Sabbath observers start the weekly cycle by the new moon and they change the weekly cycle each month according to which day of the week the new moon falls on. One month their Sabbath may be on a Monday, the next month it may fall on a Thursday. If the new moon this month is on a Tuesday, then Wednesday would be day one and their Sabbath that month would be on Tuesday. If the next month the new moon occurred on a Thursday, then they would start their count from Friday and their Sabbath that month would be on Thursday. Also, because the Lunar Sabbath ignores the current weekly cycle in use today, their Sabbath may fall on any day of our modern week. It depends completely and solely on the moon phases. 8

9 One major problem that Lunar Sabbath keepers face is the fact that the moon cycle is a 29 or 30 day cycle and the weekly cycle is a 7 day cycle. Proof positive that it is impossible to calculate the weekly cycle and the 7 th day Sabbath by the moon cycle is plain and simple that 29 or 30 is Not divisible by 7. The moon moves through one complete cycle (new moon, first quarter, full moon, last quarter, conjunction) in approximately 29.5 days. Since we cannot have half a day, this means that some lunar months will last 29 days, but other lunar months will last 30 days. So what do Lunar Sabbath keepers do on the 1st and 30th days of each month? This is where some may differ. Some keep them as an extension of the Sabbath day on the 29 th and will keep the Sabbath for two or even 3 days straight. This presents a problem though because there are scriptures which show men working (Exodus 40) and traveling (Ezra 7:9) on the new moon day. Also, it is not commanded anywhere that we must rest on any new moon day, except the new moon day of the 7th month, which is the Feast of Trumpets. Others simply call these nothing days and make believe they don t exist to keep their month 28 days and divisible by seven. This is quite ridiculous as the sun rises and sets every day and you cannot simply make 2 nothing days every month to fit some heresy. What this would also mean is that they don't truly get a day of rest every seven days. They would have to wait for up to nine days to get a day of rest for the extra days at the end of each month that they are not counting. This means a person could potentially work 8 days rather than the 6 that Yahweh commanded, and rest on the 9th day instead of the 7th day that Yahweh commanded. Why this confusion? Because these people do not understand Hebrew nor even the concept of the Sabbath day to begin with. In Hebrew every word goes back to a 2 or 3 letter root word and there are nouns, verbs, etc that all come from this same root and all have some kind of meaning compared to the root. The word Sabbath comes from the root shin, bet, tav, and in any form means seven. The word for week, Shavoa, and the word for seven in Hebrew Sheva all come from the same root of the meaning of seven. So, however you calculate which day of the week the Sabbath falls, once you believe it falls on that day it will NOT rotate but would always be in a 7 day cycle on the SAME day; that is the main problem why it is impossible for the false doctrine of the lunar Sabbath to be correct, because the moon cycle is a 29 or 30 day cycle each month and the weekly cycle is a 7 day cycle each week. Do the math, it just doesn t fit. Let s go back to creation again and see what was the pattern set down by Yahweh at creation. Like anything else that you want to solve, it is always prudent to go back to the very beginning. Yahweh set out certain patterns at creation and if you look at the creation week you will see that each thing created on the next day was essential for the survival of the thing created on the previous day. On day 3 the seeds were created and on day 4 the lights (moon, sun, and stars) were created. Without daylight and night working together to give carbon dioxide and to take it back, plants could not survive. Then, day five, the living creatures were created and on day six mankind. If the food was not created on day 3 and the night and day on day four, life that was created on day five and six could not survive. Everything was in perfect order. This also clearly shows that there had to be 7 literal days of creation and not simply time periods as some falsely believe. Also, according to the false lunar Sabbath belief, the Sabbath cycle changes monthly according to when the new moon appears, but here on creation week, we clearly see the moon, and sun and stars being created on day 4 and the Sabbath is still on day seven and not counted seven days from the new moon that occurred on day 4. This in itself should conclusively show that the 9

10 Sabbath was set down by creation and being made on the 7 th day of creation apart from the moon cycle that started on the 4 th day. Day seven of creation was the Sabbath day. This is very clear and a pattern throughout Scripture. We never see the Sabbath occurring in any other cycle but a 7 day cycle. Ex 20:8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy (set apart); 9 six days you shall labor and do all your work; 10 and the seventh day is a Sabbath to YAHWEH your Elohim; you shall not do any work, you, and your son, and your daughter, your male slave and your slave-girl, and your livestock, and your stranger who is in your gates. 11 For in six days YAHWEH made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all which is in them, and He rested on the seventh day; on account of this YAHWEH blessed the Sabbath day and sanctified it. Ex 23:12 You shall do your work six days, and on the seventh day you shall rest, so that your ox and your donkey may rest, and the son of your slave-girl and your alien may be refreshed. Ex 34:21 You may work six days, and on the seventh day you shall rest. In plowing time and in harvest you shall rest. Ex 35:2 Work may be done six days and on the seventh day it shall be holy to you, a Sabbath of rest to YAHWEH; everyone doing work in it surely shall die. Friday, as we call it today is day six and Saturday as we call it today is day 7. End of story! Clearly from these scriptures there is not even a hint of the Sabbath being three days long at the end of the month or having the last days after the 4 th Sabbath of the month nothing days. There is simply a consecutive 7 days cycle all throughout Scripture, and in each and every case it clearly states that 6 days you shall work and the 7 th day is the Sabbath. There is absolutely nothing that would make one think that you must extend your Sabbath at the end of each month or ignore days to fit a lunar calendar. In the Bible, the Sabbath is called in the original Hebrew language H Shabbat. In Hebrew, whenever you have the perfect article H which equals the in English, it is clearly meaning one specific day and NOT a rotating day. We will clearly prove this by the scripture below. Ex 16:22 And it came about on the sixth day, they gathered double bread, two omers for one. And all the leaders of the congregation came and reported to Moses. 23 And he said to them, That is what YAHWEH said, Tomorrow is a rest, a holy Sabbath to YAHWEH. What you will bake, bake. And boil what you will boil. And lay up for yourselves all that is left over, to keep it until the morning. 24 And they laid it up until the morning, as Moses commanded. And it did not stink and no maggot was in it. 25 And Moses said, Eat it today, for today is a Sabbath to YAHWEH. Today you will not find it in the field. 26 You shall gather it six days, and on the seventh day is a Sabbath; in it none shall be found. 29 Behold! Because YAHWEH has given the Sabbath to you, therefore He is giving to you two days of bread on the sixth day. Each one of you remain in his place. Do not let anyone go out from his place on the seventh day. 30 And the people rested on the seventh day. Here we see the command to gather manna for 6 days and the 7 th day is H Shabbat or the Sabbath day. It is again one specific day in the original Hebrew and cannot be a rotating day each month. Also, which is most interesting about this scripture is that the 6 th day in Hebrew is called H She she and it also uses the perfect article The to refer to the gathering of manna on the 6 th day. So whatever day of the week you are going to constitute as day six to gather your manna, it will always stay on that seven day cycle and cannot change according to the rules of the Hebrew grammar. 10

11 In addition, when Yahweh is telling them to gather manna for 6 days and on the 6 th day (H She she) to gather for 2 days, He never mentions about gathering for 3 or 4 days for the long Sabbath or no days at the end of the lunar Sabbath month. If one is logical, they must admit that it is inconceivable that if the Israelites were using a lunar Sabbath calendar, which was not divisible by 7, and had 2 extra days after the 4 th Sabbath each month that Yahweh would have mentioned something about it in calculating the gathering of the manna as they did gather it for almost 40 years. Lunar Sabbath believers today can call these nothing days but the fact of the matter is that the sun will still rise and will also set and people still need to eat on these days. Yahweh mentioned nothing about these extra days because they clearly were not using a lunar Sabbath. If we look into antiquity whether it is the writings of Josephus, or the Jewish Talmud or Mishnah, there is absolutely zero evidence that would make someone believe that the nation of Israel was using a rotating weekly Sabbath according to the moon cycle. In addition, we also have the Essene sect from the Dead Sea scrolls which again mention nothing about using the lunar cycle to calculate a different Sabbath day each month. As mentioned, in the original Hebrew language you can only calculate the Sabbath on a 7 day cycle that is repeated week by week and the day of the week for the Sabbath DOES NOT CHANGE! This is why even today whether you look at the word for Saturday in Italian which is Sabato, or Spanish which is Sabado or Hebrew Shabbat, or other ancient languages you can actually see the word Sabbath in the name of the week that is commonly known as Saturday. Also, when you look at your count to Shavuot you must count 50 days starting with the first day after the weekly Sabbath during the days of unleavened bread. Lev 23:15 And you shall number to you from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day you bring in the sheaf of the wave offering; they shall be seven complete Sabbaths; 16 to the next day after the seventh Sabbath, you shall number fifty days; and you shall bring near a new food offering to YAHWEH; If you are using a lunar Sabbath calendar with 9 day weeks at the end of each month you will never come up with a 50 day count to Shavuot in a 7 complete Sabbath count. Do the math, it is impossible and another clear proof from Scripture that the lunar Sabbath is no true according to Scripture. Exodus 31:12-19 tells us that Yahweh gave the 7 th day Sabbath as a sign for Him and His children forever. It is the very sign from creation that sets the people of Yahweh apart from the rest of the world and proves Him to be the only true Elohim and Creator. These people have given up the very sign that makes them a family member of the family of Yahweh and they have done so without even one clear cut scripture that would even remotely make one think that you must count your weekly count according to each new moon every month therefore making the Sabbath rotate on a monthly basis. There is no evidence that Israel ever kept this irregular weekly cycle and there is no proof that our brother Judah ever kept this type of false calendar in antiquity. If someone is going to change something as serious as the weekly seven day Sabbath, one must have clear cut conclusive evidence from Scripture that this is so, and it just isn t there. Yahweh is very precise in Scripture from Creation; in six days He made heaven and earth and all that is in them and rested on THE SEVENTH DAY, and every scripture in the Bible also confirms that we work six days and rest on the seventh day without consideration of the moon cycle.

12 Idols of America The Statue of Liberty And The Statue of Freedom America's Babylonian Roots By R.A. Coomes Babylonian sun god Shamesh/Utu. The idea was that this sun god's occultic illumination could be focused by each of the 7 spikes of the crown. Each spike would flash this occultic enlightenment to each of the 7 "horas" or large landmasses of the world. In other words, the each spike would flash occultic enlightenment to a continent on planet earth. Each of the 7 spikes would then be representative of one of the 7 large landmasses or continents of the world. #2. The Tablets: According to the preeminent Statue Historian, Marvin Trachtenberg in his book "The Statue of Liberty" the tablets represented a generic notion of the concept of law. Freemasonry gives lip service to Judaism, Christianity and Islam as law-giving religions but Freemasonry tries to synthesize all religions into one central focus The books actually portray the code of law of Hamurabbi the Babylonian who made the first nationwide code of law in history. Author's Note: The information in this article will come as a shock to many readers. It came as a shock to the author while doing 17 years of research for "America, The Babylon." Therefore this warning to those who are convinced that anything but America is Babylon Read at your own peril. Connecting Ishtar to the Statue of Liberty: The Statue of Liberty was a Masonic concept conceived from within Freemasonry. The chief promoter and fundraiser for the project was Edward Laboulaye and he collaborated with the sculptor Frederic Bartholdi to develop a statue of Masonic enlightenment. The statue was developed from within the highest doctrines of Freemasonry. This "enlightenment" took its form in various symbols found in the sculpture itself. #1. The Crown of 7 Spikes: This symbol was to represent the enlightenment of the 12 #3. The Robe: In the original planning, the Statue of Liberty was designed in the initial stages to be in color. She was to be wearing the royal robes of scarlet and purple. It became obvious that for reasons of monetary purposes the statue must be made from copper. The use of copper precluded the use of any color schemes. Thus the original plans for scarlet and purple robes were abandoned. #4. The Torch: This item was originally designed to be a golden cup filled with the wine of freedom. This golden cup remained in the planning and was actually made. However, before completion and shipping of the entire statue, the New York Port authorities asked if there could be some sort of modification to allow for an eternal flame or light to be designed into the statue so that ships could use her as a night time navigational aid. Bartholdi consented to make modifications to the basic cup design

13 to allow for a natural gas flame to be utilized. The torch we see today is actually the same type of cup design used in ancient times for drinking wine. It featured a handle for the cup at the bottom and the handle looked much like a stick. The golden aspect itself was altered again to conform to the needs of the natural gas flame. The actual, original golden cup was later sold by the project to the Czar of Russia, Czar Nicholas. In 1917 during the Russian revolution the Communist government took possession of it. The cup has remained in Russian hands but in 1997 was reportedly offered for sale by the Russian government to help pay off Russia's foreign debts. This author has not been able to determine whether or not the cup was actually sold or not. It is only known that the cup is still in existence. #5. "Mother of Exiles" is a key term in the poem by Emma Lazarus. In her famous poem about the statue, (now etched into the base of the statue) Lazarus refers to the woman as "The Mother of Exiles". The poem has forever indelibly linked the statue to immigrants from around the world. The statue is the patron "saint" of immigrants everywhere. Oddly enough, the Babylonian goddess Ishtar was also the patron goddess of immigrants in Babylon because as a goddess of personal freedom, she brought hope to immigrants seeking to make a better life for themselves in Babylon. So too for this "Mother of Exiles". Ishtar worship is the very first instance of prostitution in human history and it was deemed "holy!" Now, this may indeed just be an interesting coincidence but remember Revelation 17:5 where the woman called Mystery Babylon is referred to as the "Mother of Harlots." Scriptural traits of the woman of Revelation chapter 17:4. The woman is described in Revelation 17:4 as having a golden cup in her hand. This fits in with the Statue of Liberty, who has indeed a golden cup in her outstretched hand. (See the Statue of Liberty Website Link to see a picture of the original golden globe flame, which replaced the original cup when NYC authorities asked to modify the cup to a light source for shipping. The original golden cup was then sold to the Czar of Russia, where it remains today. Here's the link: of This cup is described as having "bdelugma" in the Greek text. You will see it in the KJV word "abominations." Now this word is Strong's Code #946. It means a foul thing, detestable, usually of idols it comes from the root word bdeoh "to break wind" or "pass gas" it is something that is very smelly and extremely offensive. Now, the Statue of Liberty has inside the torch the fuel for its flame "natural gas" or bdelugma. Is this a coincidence between Scripture and the Statue of Liberty? I suggest strongly that this is no coincidence. The torch is actually being described in Revelation 17:4 as is the woman. The woman in Chapter 17 is the symbol for the super-nation that is code-named "Mystery Babylon." But this is not the only connection between the Statue and the woman of Revelation 17:4. The crown of 7 spikes is also being described in Revelation 17:9. Here we see the woman referred to as sitting on 7 "horas". This is the same word that the mystical religion of Freemasonry doctrines uses from the Greek mystics who kept the doctrine alive from Ishtar worship. The idea of the enlightenment of the sun god Shamesh-Utu or Rah in the Egyptian language was that it would be shined to all of the 7 "horas" or continents of the world. These Greek mystics used that Greek term "horas" states Marvin Trachtenberg in his book on the Statue of Liberty. Now, the KJV and the NASB English versions translate "horas" as meaning "mountain." Mountain is indeed the normal meaning of the word in Greek. But the Greeks general and overall root word basis was "large land mass" for which mountain usually fit the definition. Unfortunately some new translations miss this point entirely and have translated the word "horas" as meaning hill. This comes from the erroneous assumption that the verse is referring to the 7 hills of Rome and that the woman is Rome. 13

14 This is a wrong assumption. Moulton & Milligan's Greek Vocabulary cites that the correct word for "hill" in Koine-Greek (and in other Greek dialects) was the Roman word "bounos" and this was always the word that was to be used when referring to the 7 hills of Rome. After all, this was the Greek word that was borrowed from the Romans. Everyone referred to Rome's 7 hills as "bounos" and not "horas". Therefore, the assumption that Revelation 17:9 refers to the 7 hills of Rome is complete error. The verse then must be referring to the continents where the Woman's enlightenment rays are flashed from her 7 spikes in her crown. The Statue of Liberty -- The Largest Idol Ever Made By Human Hands. In doing the research into the statue, I discovered that no statue has ever been made that was as big as the Statue of Liberty. The previous record holder was the Colossus of Rhodes. We can recognize the match-up between the Woman of Revelation 17:4-5 and America when we realize that the Statue of Liberty is actually the goddess Ishtar of Babylon the mystery goddess of Babylon who was the goddess of personal freedom and liberty. Most importantly, Ishtar was called The Mother of Immigrants, AND she was called THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES Then of course, if we throw in the facts that we know about the Babylonian symbolism of the Statue and relate it back to Revelation 17:4, 9 we then have the link between the Statue of Liberty and Revelation 17 and 18. Conclusions: There are just too many coincidences when we compare the characteristics in the Scriptures relating to the woman called "Mystery Babylon -- "Mother of Harlots" with that of Ishtar of Babylon and the Statue of Liberty and the Statue of Freedom. What we conclude: The Statue of Liberty is the woman being described in Revelation 17/18 and especially 17:4-5, 9 and 18:7 along with Isaiah 47:1-15. We say this because we know that the Statue of Liberty is actually the artist/sculpture's vision of Ishtar, the goddess of Babylon!!! This makes the Statue of Liberty the largest Idol ever made by human hands, and the Statue of Freedom being the second largest idol and it stands atop the building where our lawmakers meet. There are numerous other statue of other pagan deities in the US Capitol building and around the nation's capitol city. America is indeed the Mystery Babylon of Revelation 17 and

15 My People Perish for Lack of vision By Don Esposito Today we are living in a very dangerous, serious time; probably the most serious in the history of mankind. In times past, when someone came to the truth of Yahweh the individual would join his/her local congregation and have the nurturing that a new believer needs to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Master and Savior Yahshua Messiah. The local congregation was the lifeline to a believer from time immemorial; until Babylon s greatest deception came about. THE INTERNET! The Internet has changed the world as we know it in the vilest of ways. There are more than 2 million pornographic websites and literally an epidemic of people being addicted to them. There is a 1,000 percent increase in gambling since the Internet and more than a 100 billion dollar a year business in the USA alone. However, the most despicable aspect of the Internet has been the more than 1 million false religious websites that have been destroying the people of Yahweh in Babylon. If you look at these websites and also the vast majority of false teachers in the world today, overwhelmingly by about 85% to 90% come from America/Babylon. Due to this fact and also the fact that many in these end times have fallen away and there are not local congregations in every area, people have exchanged the covering and security of local leadership and congregations for surfing the Internet for any and every false teaching and heresy. Truly the following scripture is being fulfilled before our eyes in Babylon; Pr 29:18 Where there is no vision, the people are perishing. But blessed is he, the one keeping the Torah. Clearly, in Babylon, the Laodiceans have lost their vision. In the Hebraic roots Bible, the more literal translation of the above scripture states the people are unrestraint. This is exactly what we are seeing today. Due to the temptations in Babylon and the overall pleasure seeking, self-permeated society that she has created, people have become slaves to their own vises and unrestraint and undisciplined in their spiritual lives. It is estimated that about 40% to 50% of all American have some sort of addiction. The number is probably even higher when Internet addictions are added. Rev 18:13b and of slaves and souls of men. The problem with the prideful Laodicean is that he is so blinded by his sin, and so slothful in his spiritual life that he is completely blinded to his spiritual condition and therefore in grave danger of becoming a reprobate. Rev 3:17 Because you say, I am rich, and I am made rich, and I have need of nothing, and do not know that you are miserable and a wanderer and poor and blind and naked. The end time Laodicean Babylonian has been blinded by the cares of life, protecting his assets and his falsely perceived spiritual condition from the incorrect teaching they are accumulating from the Internet. 15

16 As you see, they claim to be self-sufficient; they made themselves rich and are in need of nothing. They get their spiritual food themselves from the false prophet called the Internet who gives them all the false teachings and false spiritual supremacy that they desire with no accountability. However, in reality, the Scripture states that they are poor, blind and naked. Clearly, this is speaking of their true spiritual condition. Although financially they may have much money and possessions, spiritually they are bankrupt, accepting all the licentiousness, lust and self-centeredness of Babylon. They live as Babylonians, not children of Yahweh; they accept divorce and re-marriage, they lust and buy every new item and they live on the Internet gaining any so-called spiritual supremacy by men who have been marked and never ordained by the true elders of Yahweh. These people boldly proclaim they will never follow a man and therefore the above scripture calls them naked meaning they have no spiritual covering. Isaiah speaks about these Babylonians this way; Is 47:8 Now, then, hear this, O pleasure seeker, who lives carelessly; who says in her heart, I am, and none else is; I shall not sit as a widow, nor shall I know the loss of children. They are self-supreme, not caring about third world brethren who are suffering at the expense of their over abundant lifestyles. They live carelessly, and their trust is not in Yahweh, but themselves. Did you notice that they even say in their heart I AM. This is the term only Yahweh uses for HIMSELF, showing that only He exists of Himself, but the prideful Babylonian also states this, that they need no man, no teachers, no congregation, because they are self-sustaining and in need of nothing. They have lost their vision and are perishing. Jer 50:28 The voice of those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon to declare in Zion the vengeance of YAHWEH our Elohim, the vengeance of His sanctuary. Due to the glossy, deceptive false spirit that has permeated America/Babylon, many of Yahweh s people have lost their vision and many may be losing their eternal life. We are living in the most amazing time that man has ever known. Israel is a nation again after 2,520 years and many prophecies are being fulfilled. This Good News of Yahweh s soon coming Kingdom with His true doctrine is going to go to all the world and Yahweh s Kingdom will be set up in this wicked world very soon. Unfortunately, many who were excited about these things when they were first called have lost their way and lost their vision. They have allowed the cares of life, sickness, loss of jobs, and maybe even death to pull them away from the truth and go back to the world. They have neglected the signs in their own personal lives of going back to watching worldly movies and TV, and spending endless hours surfing trash on the Internet. Some women have raised the hems on their skirts, or even worse gone back to wearing tight jeans that are immodest and their interest in Yahweh s end time work of redeeming the Sons of Jacob and returning the land covenant in Israel has all but been lost. They have lost their way, they are perishing for lack of vision, and they have become unrestraint in their spiritual lives. Yet, because they are blinded they will no longer do self-examination. They will simply take their lack of interest in the truth and Yahweh s end time work as a criticism to the leadership. As they hour after hour and day after day surf the Internet (tower of Babel) for justification to their wrenched spiritual life they will simply harden their heart more and sear their mind with a hot iron and risk the chance of ever humbling themselves to come to repentance. Titus 1:15 Truly, all things are pure to the pure, but nothing is pure to those being defiled and faithless, but even their mind and conscience has been defiled. 16 They profess to know YAHWEH, but by their works they deny Him, and they are abominable and disobedient, condemning every kind of good work being reprobates. Yahweh can forgive any sin, as long as we repent, but when we are hardened by the deceitfulness of sin and therefore become so glossed over by the sin of the society around us we start to become selfrighteous and then compare ourselves to others and simply think we are Ok compared to the wicked world around us. This is the danger of Babylon; are you losing your vision? 16

17 A N SW E R S TO Y O U R Q U E STIO N S Question: Can Babylon be the Catholic Church? Answer: Babylon is clearly a LAND not a church or system. Jer 50:8 Flee from the midst of Babylon, and go out of the land of the Chaldeans (Astrologers), and be as the he-goats before the flocks. Also reference verse 21, 38-40, 45, Jer 51:2, 29, 43,54, Rev 18:2, also states Babylon is a dwelling place. Babylon also has a military, a president and a world ruling economic system, which cannot be a church or only a system. Question: Can Babylon be Iraq? Answer: Babylon sits upon many waters, Jer 51:13, Rev 17:1, 15, these are literal fresh water seaports, and also in Revelation 17:15 it refers to many mixed people living in her. She is a melting pot Nation Jer 50:37. Clearly neither explanation fits modern day Iraq. Also Rev 18:9-19, end time Babylon is the # 1 economic power in the world. This scripture specifically names 25 things Babylon trades more than any other Nation. Not only does America trade in one day all 25 things mentioned more than all the nations on earth combined, but also you can only trade these things in America. Only America has a commodity exchange, to trade these things. Again Iraq is the last nation on earth to fit this description. Not only is Iraq not the leading economic power in the world, it is the least. Except for their food for oil program they don t trade anything with anyone. Clearly end time Babylon is not Iraq. Also it states in Is 13:20 that end time Babylon will never be rebuilt. Saddam Hussein has already rebuilt ancient Babylon back in the 1990 s, so again it cannot be talking of Iraq. Question: Can end time Babylon be Rome? Answer: Look at the above answer for why Iraq cannot be end time Babylon. Rome is not world s leading melting pot, or world economic engine. And if you look at Rev 17:9 where this scripture comes from you will see that the women sits on 7 mountains (Greek word is oros) not hills, (Greek word for hill is bounous). Actually, the Greek word bounous is a Latin word that was specifically made for the 7 hills of Rome. If Rome were intended to be the Babylon of Rev 17, the Holy Spirit without a doubt would have inspired the use of bounous, (hill) and not oros, mountain. Babylon sits on seven mountains, meaning large land masses. There are seven continents or large land masses in the world. The Scripture is merely showing that Babylon is a global world superpower controlling every part of the world. Clearly, only America has been doing this for the last 50 years. Question: Can Jerusalem be end time Babylon? Answer: This theory is probably the most absurd of all. In the end time Yahweh is restoring the land covenant of Israel and returning Israel back to her covenant place of Israel. Zech 8:3 So says YAHWEH: I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem shall be called a City of Truth, and the mountain of YAHWEH of Hosts, the Holy Mountain. 4 So says YAHWEH of Hosts: Again, there shall be old men and old women sitting in the streets of Jerusalem; and each man with his staff in his hand because of their many days. 5 And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets. 6 So says YAHWEH of Hosts: If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, will it also be marvelous in My eyes? says YAHWEH of Hosts. 7 So says YAHWEH of Hosts: Behold, I will save My people from the land of the rising sun and from the land of the setting sun. 8 And I will bring them, and they shall live in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be for a people to Me, and I will be their Elohim, in truth and in righteousness. Babylon in the end time will be completely destroyed forever (Jer 50:39-40) and Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Yahweh (Mic 4:2-4). The two places could not be more diametrically opposite. In Zech 2:7 Yahweh is telling His people in Babylon to flee to Zion, clearly they are not the same place. 17

18 Stories from the Mission field The following is an excerpt from elder Roland Ostendorf s latest mission trip to Nicaragua in January- March in Elder Roland went with His wife Denise and two of their children Katlin and Jacob. Roland is part of the COYJ mission team that helps the poor and needy around the world. I ve been going to Nicaragua for seven years now. The first trip was with a Messianic group to build a school in the mountains for the children of coffee farmers. Seeing the Star of David in the gable end of the coffee processing plant I soon realized these people are from Judah. There were several other trips after this and starting about 2 years ago fruit started being borne. This past Sukkot one of the main leaders in Nicaragua named Ronald was blessed to come to Israel and to participate in the Return to the Land program and be ordained into the ministry of Yahweh. On this latest trip we arrived in Managua February 7 th after being delayed by weather for 5 days. One of the brothers there named Julian picked us up with his micro bus. It was already full of people who came to meet us at the airport. This was a very special event for them. I didn t know where they were going to fit all of us and the luggage and donations that we brought, but we all managed to fit in. One thing I learned in Nicaragua is that capacity of 30 really means 80 plus luggage, chickens, mattress, goats, sheep, beans and rice on top of the bus. We started on our two hour trip to Matagalpa. Usually brother Adrian would be my interpreter but this trip we had to trust Yahweh to send one. Ronald and I have always been able to communicate even though I didn t know Spanish and he didn t know English. Yahweh s spirit would simply help us with understanding! We made it to the house and Ronald lined up for us to meet the rest of the welcoming committee of more people, plus children. They had been waiting for days since our plane was delayed and now had to catch the bus up the mountain to Waslala. Julian parked his van in the garage and we were wondering where he was planning to sleep since there were barely enough beds for the four of us. We soon learned that a mat on the floor for a bed is just taken in stride in Nicaragua and Julian just slept in the van. No big deal with that. The next day I met with two different potential interpreters that Ronald lined up. I chose Pedro. He was very interested in what we were teaching and soon he was more of a student of ours learning about the Torah, covenants of Yahweh and baptism and the laying on of hands by an elder. Ronald, Julian and I were planning several trips throughout Nicaragua to bring the Good News of Yahshua to those whom Yahweh would lead us to. Pedro also translated for three of our Sabbath services we had in our rented home. During the week, we men were making our plans copying the Bible lessons and information to pass out on our trips. Denise, Katlin, and Jacob were busy learning the language with the help of Ronald s wife Seomara, and also the layout of the town. We were also, counseling another ex-pastor for baptism named Leocadio, and soon we were heading up the mountain on the bus to an area where there was a waterfall and a pool of water. Both Leocadio and Pedro were baptized. Three weeks passed quickly and now we moved out of the house, threw our luggage, mattress and all our copied manuals on the top of the bus along with everyone else s stuff and prepared for the six hour bumpy bus ride up the mountain to Waslala. This is where Ronald s mother lives and John Danny s home. We doubled up in rooms with hammocks to sleep in. We went to meet Leocadios s parents to witness to them as we walked a dirt path to their home a ways off the main road, when we heard what Jacob my son thought was a cock fight. It turned out to be a large church group babbling in false demonic tongues. They had a weekly revival going on and since the pastor was sick mostly played sermons on a loudspeaker all week. This was very hard on our peace. We men were finally ready to head out on our 11 day mission tour through four big cities. An elderly couple stopped in out of the blue and asked me to pray for them. The lady had a big sack of money and 18

19 wanted to give it to me for the prayer. Apparently, this is how they get the pastors to pray for them. I told her to keep her money and instead we fed them and prayed for them. We all left and visited Suian, Rasia, Bonanza and all the way to Puero Cabezah on the north coast and points in between. As we started out the first thing that happened to us was a flat tire on the bus. It was a perfect time to begin our witnessing. Seven men on the bus became our students. Two more hours down the road another flat tire! The seminar started again. We passed out a lot of reading material and spent an hour with them while waiting on the repair of the tire. This is pretty much how our whole trip went. Yahweh continued to bring divine appointments before us. We collected many names for future contacts. I don t speak Spanish, but when using the Scriptures we all could know what the others were talking about. Truly, we learned that Scripture is the only universal language to truth seekers. Yahweh then put a man in front of me to witness to in English. This always seemed to happen. In the streets where we were walking there was always somebody Yahweh put in our path to witness to. In Suina, we met a man well to do with expensive clothes and boots and gold decorations. Next to him was a calendar with his picture on it. A little while later while we were talking to him the man pulled out a wad of money from his pocket and gave it to us to find a hotel to stay in. The next day we witnessed through the streets and came to a government center and found out that the man we met was the mayor. We were able to witness to ten people who worked there. The next day we were witnessing to a shoemaker and a big group of people gathered on the street. A pastor in the group agreed with the things we were teaching and told us we needed to stay for years and straighten out the mess that organized religion had created. As we came to a coffee shop we met a man named Hido Wang. He was a man who absolutely hated pastors and preachers; they are all hypocrites he said, because he used to be one! He said the poor never get helped and the rich are called to sit in the front. He liked us because we weren t preaching the traditional church lingo. Hido had been shot 3 times and at one time even lived in Los Angeles. He was not afraid of anyone. He invited us to have a seminar with him and his wife which we did fit in before we left. In Rosita, it reminded me of Sodom and Gomorrah. We were only able to get 3 hours sleep due to the danger all around us. Heading to Bonanza the next day, we were able to witness to a large family group. We constantly passed out the Bible lessons and books and collected names and telephone numbers. We continued to witness non-stop on the bus between each city. The next morning we walked one and a half hours to the port. There were two sets of gates with armed guards. They opened the gates for us when Leocadio told them we were ambassadors sent from Jerusalem. We all had caps on that said Jerusalem. (I had wondered why I bought so many caps from Israel the last time I was there) At the end of the dock all the people wanted the lessons and books. They even spoke English. People even from Jamaica shouted to us from the boats; Give us some books! On our bus ride back, Yahweh blessed me to sit next to an English speaking man. We shared Yahweh s truth back and forth for six hours. From scriptures, the feasts, archaeology and history. This man was very knowledgeable. Ronald, Aldo and John Danny were always witnessing on the bus. It was a great time for them and the people loved getting the truth. We started with 120 books, Great Falling Away and Chosen People along with a lot of lessons, and came back without any left, but a long list of people and phone numbers. Three days later we headed back for Matagalpa. Yahweh led us to a hostel called El Rey, which means The King. Here we met the owner s son named Walter. I had a seminar with Walter and his family. We also found out that Walter s family has a home in the mountains 20 miles from Matagalpa. It would be the perfect place to Passover. 19

20 Walter then invited me to come to work with him one day. I then found out that he is a judge. It was amazing to watch Walter at his work, as he knows that Yahweh put him in this position of being circuit court judge. Most of the workers in the government are Sandinistas (communists) and Walter is not and everyone knows he believes in Elohim. When it came time to perform a marriage ceremony, he stepped off the bench and took off his robe and said that he is going to start by praying for the four couples who are getting married. Then he started to counsel them from the Bible for about an hour. What a blessing to see a true man of Yahweh at work in a government position. He then took me up the hill by the farm to show me a pool where we could do baptisms before Passover; little did I know that Walter would be one of the ones being baptized into the family of Yahweh and have the blessing of doing the laying on of hands for him to receive the Holy Spirit. We then had the Passover there with 17 baptized covenant members and 33 total in attendance with Ronald. On the Holy day Ronald spoke on sin, unleavened bread and the fruit of the Spirit. Walter was the perfect interpreter and I leading and reading Scripture. We feel we made history this year in Nicaragua with true covenant believers for the first time keeping Passover and unleavened bread and counting of the omer and preparing for Shavuot. Every day was a time of witnessing and meeting people who Yahweh put in our path for a purpose. That is why it is so important to be constantly praying and keeping your focus on a trip such as this; to know the difference of who Yahweh is leading to you and not to be detracted by servants of Satan trying to steal your time as every second in the mission field is precious and dedicated to Yahweh to bear fruit. There are people who have been praying for us and I want to thank you for your part on this trip, as I am fully aware that much of the success of this trip could not have taken place without your prayers. There were times we didn t take showers for days, but Yahweh always provided a mountain stream when needed. It is not an easy road in the mission field but the spiritual rewards make up 100 fold for the physical things that we lacked. As I was saying my good-byes to Ronald and his family I was crying inside of me because of the struggles that Ronald and many believers have to go through in Nicaragua, just to survive and do the work of the Good News of Yahshua. As we were leaving my daughter broke down and cried and when I asked what was wrong, she said she can t believe they live like this every day and make it in life. I just looked at the Internet as I am finishing writing this testimony. There are requests for pastoral visits and people who want to be baptized and even a request from another person who works within the judicial system. Yahweh is always helping His people that He loves so much. How exciting it is for these people in Nicaragua to learn about their true inheritance as Sons of Israel and to learn Yahweh s Torah. How exciting it is for them to be part of a work from Jerusalem that Yahweh is blessing so much in these end times. I look forward to going back and sharing more and bearing more fruit. NOTE: For those who may wish to be trained to travel internationally in the great harvest in the work of Yahweh, we give full international training to join one of our teams at the Hayahad Bible training school in Israel. You can find all school information at in the school section. 20

21 Should Women wear pants, does it matter? By Don Esposito This is a question that seems to arise often, but what is our answer, my heart tells me, or the Scripture says the following? First of all let me say that I do not believe that just because a woman is wearing pants that it is necessarily a sign of rebellion, although as we will see that is definitely where the modern custom has come from. I believe in our western world that women wearing pants has become part of the culture and that is part of the very essence of the problem with Babylon. CULTURE! If one is honest with themselves they must admit that the culture of Babylon is not the Elohim mandated culture that He Himself set down in the Garden of Eden. Actually, you could not get a more opposite culture from the biblical mandate than in Babylon/ USA. From women working away from their homes and sending their children to be trained in the public school system, to having women as pastors, prophets and leaders, one must admit the culture of Babylon is Not conducive to returning to the Elohim given mandate in Eden. Divorce in the West is at almost 60% and is only not higher because many in these illicit end times are choosing to simply live together and abandon the marriage covenant completely. If you are looking at the culture of Babylon around you for how you should act, then most assuredly you will not be fulfilling the mandate of the biblical woman. Let s look at what the Apostle Peter wrote how the biblical woman ought to behave. 1 Pe 3:1 Likewise, wives, be submissive to your own husbands, that even if any disobey the Word, through the behavior of the wives, without a word they will be won, 2 observing your pure behavior in fear. 3 And adorn not yourselves with the external ornaments of curls of the hair, or the wearing of golden trinkets, or of costly garments. 4 but the hidden man (person) of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of the meek and quiet spirit, which is of great value before YAHWEH. 5 For so once indeed the holy women who were hoping on Elohim adorned themselves, submitting themselves to their own husbands, 6 as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Master; whose children you became, doing good, and not being confused by false values. (Gen. 18:12) The question then arises were does it say in Torah that a woman should not wear pants. But I would also ask where does it say in Torah that a believer should not smoke cigarettes, take drugs, or watch evil Hollywood movies? 21

22 The point is that the Torah is a lamp to my feet (Ps 119:105) and it is a guide that we need to use for every aspect of our life. We need to look at Torah and see what the spirit of the Torah is saying and make our daily living model based on the principles that the Torah clearly outlines. Deu 22:5 Women are not to wear men's clothing, and men are not to wear women's clothing; YAHWEH your Elohim hates people who do such things. Now I believe from this scripture that we can safely conclude that a woman should not wear pants. Some may ignorantly say well why is pants man s clothing? In Yahshua s day men even wore dresses. This is not an accurate statement as a man s garment in Yahshua s day was far from a dress and very masculine looking and I have actually studied remains of garments from archaeological research that shows clearly, men and women s garments were very different from each other. Now back to pants. It is very interesting that an older man was talking to me about this while being in the US and he said to me that when he was younger, in the Baptist church every woman without fail wore dresses, but you don t see that today. Without a doubt, from as early as pants became a garment for humans, they were only wore BY MEN NOT WOMEN, and when did women start to wear the pants in the family; Starting in the 1960 s when the whole women s lib movement came in and totally perverted our society and our dear poor sisters. This is a fact. As a matter of fact that is where the statement she wears the pants in that family came from. Wearing the pants was a sign of masculine authority. (1Tim 2:12) Women should not usurp authority of a man. Now back to culture. Do you know that in most third world cultures such as Africa where the women s lib movement has not corroded their society that all women still wear dresses? As a matter of fact I was told in Kenya that more than anything else that if Sister Petra came to Kenya wearing pants that the brethren would not even have listened to me. You see, besides being immodest, when you wear pants people can see the womanly shape of your body, wearing pants is a product of the western Babylonian society that has produced the self existent, totally vain, self centered women of America and the West. As believers, we have great responsibility of not causing our brothers to stumble by wearing provocative revealing clothing that can cause lustful thoughts. We also should make sure at all times that our brothers mind can stay focused on YHWH Himself and not on our bodies. Also, remember that our bodies are the sanctuary of the Holy Spirit and we should want to keep our look as modest as possible without ever dressing immodest or purposely trying to show the outline of our body. We as believers are working toward restoring all truth back to this earth in preparing for Yahshua s soon coming Kingdom. Do we want to just get by or do we want to raise the bar? Do we want to teach our children about Eden or do we want to teach them old habits of Babylon? Yahweh made the natural femininity of a woman one of her greatest gifts to mankind. One of my most pleasant memories of Hayahad bible school was each morning when I would come to the community building as I was still far away I would see the ladies gathering in their laundry with their long modest dresses on with their clothes buckets walking in the grass and the slow breeze behind them and I just smiled each time I saw this. Yahweh made a natural beauty to a woman in the feminine style that she carries herself. The Elder in Kenya told me that Petra was the first woman that ever visited them and the sisters just loved to sit with her and talk to her because she has an old fashioned biblical view of womanhood. Jer 6:16 So says Yahweh, Stand by the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk in it. I know we are not to judge by appearance, but if we are honest with ourselves we know that first impressions mean a lot, and don t our sisters want to be a good witness by being modest and trying to be the example of our beloved Matriarch Sarah. It really is a cultural issue, do women want to portray the culture of Babylon or Eden; the choice is each sister's to decide? 22

23 THINGS! Who is [n El^_r of YHWH In this world today there are many false charlatans calling themselves elders who do not fit the biblical criteria of Scripture. So let s see what the biblical mandate is to being recognized as fulfilling the job of an elder in the body of Messiah. One thing we must always remember is that we do not choose Yahweh, but He has chosen us. Joh 15:16 You have not chosen Me, but I chose you out and planted you, that you should go and should bear fruit, and your fruit remain, that whatever you should ask the Father in My name, He may give you. In order to be a leader in Yahweh s congregation this is a scripture we must have ingrained in our mind. So many charlatans and false teachers today have not been commissioned by Yahweh but have merely set themselves up as a leader by selling books or CD s or making some other market of the brethren. One does not simply take the job of an elder to himself, but he is recognized by the elders in the congregation and has hands laid on him and the anointing of oil according to scripture. If someone was not officially ordained he would not be considered an elder in the congregation. If we look at the biblical example of leaders in the Bible we will see that most of the men that were chosen by Yahweh, not only did they not set up themselves with the job, but many times they ran away from it. Also, clearly to be recognized as an elder one must be bearing the fruit of an elder. What exactly does Scripture say that en elder of Yahweh actually is? First, let s take a look at the strict biblical requirements of an Elder of Yahweh. 1 Tim 3:1 Faithful is the Word: If anyone desires the office of an Elder, he desires a good work. 2 He who becomes an Elder must be blameless, the husband of one wife, alert mentally, sensible, of good behavior, hospitable, and able to teach; 3 not a drunkard, or one whose hand is quick to strike, but humble, not contentious, not loving money; 4 ruling his own house well, having children in subjection with all purity. 5 But if anyone does not know how to rule his own house, how will he care for a Congregation of YAHWEH? 6 He should not be a new disciple, lest being puffed up he may fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 But he must also have a good witness from those outside, that he not fall into reproach and into a snare of the devil. First, we see that in order to even be considered an elder in the eyes of Yahweh that one must first be a faithful servant in the body of Messiah over a long period of time. What does this entail? In the day and age we are living in the Bible also tells us in 2 Tim 3:1-4 that people will be truce breakers, selfish, not true to their word, so being faithful is the exact opposite. An elder is someone who shows the love of Yahweh every day in his life and is not a harsh unloving person but someone who is approachable by the brethren and caring for the sheep of Yahweh. Since we are in the Laodicean era of Yahweh s congregation people are more selfish and selfcentered than ever before. People boldly proclaim that elders and ministers are no longer needed and that all we need is the Holy Spirit to lead us and not men. This is why it is extremely important, that men must show their faithfulness to Yahweh, His leadership and His congregation over a good period of time before they could ever be considered for ordination. Also, it is very clear from Timothy that an elder must be blameless and not of shoddy reputation. He also clearly must be the husband of only one living wife, which would disqualify any person who has been divorced and has 2 living covenant wives. He also must be alert and sensible not making radical unsound decisions and be hospitable and not with a sharp tongue, and also able to teach. This would disqualify anyone in the congregation who is either not grounded in sound doctrine, or even if they have been ordained, have left sound doctrine and is now preaching unscriptural doctrines or even worse heresy. 23

24 He must also not be a drunkard, or have a spirit of anger being quick to raise his voice and argue with others. If someone loses his temper quickly and does not have self control over his spirit he would not be qualified to hold the job of an elder. He must not be contentious, but must be humble. This also is not an act that someone puts on until hands are laid on him. Even if someone had hands laid on him for elderhood and later it was determined that the person deceived the elderhood and indeed was contentious, or did not fit any of the above criteria, then it stands to reason that the person would have lost his position and would not be recognized as an elder in the body of Messiah any longer. I believe the biggest thing that we should be getting out of the above criteria is that the above scriptures stating the position of an elder are relating to a job description and NOT a title. When someone within the congregation is performing the task of an elder, then there is the laying on of hands by the other elders to recognize that performance within the congregation. It also stands to reason that if someone either was no longer fulfilling the scriptural requirements of an elder within the congregation or if someone removes themselves from the position of serving in the congregation as an elder, then they would not be scripturally fulfilling any longer the job position of an elder, nor be recognized in that capacity any longer within the congregation. In turn, if someone who was fulfilling the job of an elder within the congregation left the congregation and went out on their own and was not fulfilling the job of an elder within the congregation any longer, then as mentioned, they would not be recognized as an elder since they would not be performing that role in the congregation any longer. In order to be recognized as an elder you must be serving the people in the congregation. That is what an elder is, someone who is recognized within the congregation of Yahweh as serving Yahweh, the leadership and the brethren in the job capacity of an elder according to the guidelines laid out in 1 Timothy the third chapter. Clearly, according to scripture, becoming an elder is not the same as acquiring a college degree that you would bring with you as a title in any other job you are trying to be recruited for. Yahweh s congregation is not like the world, but someone recognized for a certain job in the congregation is only recognized as long as he is biblically qualified and performing that particular job assignment. They must continue in the criteria which inspired hands to be laid on them, which is to be teaching sound doctrine, which they agreed to when they were ordained. However, if they change to their own private interpretation and get involved in false teaching, then they disqualify themselves from the job of an elder, which they are no longer qualifying to perform. Ordination cannot be performed without the elder hood to lay hands on the individual, so it stands to reason that if an individual would reject the elder hood that gave him the ordination, then the congregation would not recognize him in that capacity any longer. Yahweh is not divided and in Scripture we do not see any such thing as private ministries that are set up to simply market the brethren. If someone in the congregation was a good person or even a friend of the local minister, he would not ordain that person simply because they wanted to, but only if they were fulfilling the Elohim required mandate. (1 Tim 5:21-22) Last but not least, it must be mentioned that the most important characteristic of a true elder and servant of Yahweh is humility. There can never be envy and jockeying for position in Yahweh s true elder hood, but our service toward Yahweh and His children should be based on love and a true humble desire to serve our Creator to the best of our ability. As a matter of fact the word that is used for minister in the New Testament actually means servant, which is the true intention of any true elder of Yahweh. An elder should never be serving to be recognized by man, or simply to get a pat on the back and constantly be recognized by people within the congregation; although, we should always be grateful to those who are serving us and try to give recognition where due, as servants of the Most High Elohim that should never be the motive in our service to Yahweh or His ordained leadership and congregation. If we are looking for human recognition, then we will ultimately burn out in our service to Yahweh and usually this will happen sooner than later and some will leave the most special job in the world of being a called out elder of Yahweh. 24

25 Matthew 24:14 Project And this good news of the Kingdom shall be published in all the earth for a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. (Mat 24:14) I m sure most of us out there who are believers have wondered at one time or another, what is my responsibility for the calling that Yahweh has given me? We read from the Father s Word that He says For anyone who is given much to him, much is required from him. Luke 12:48. What exactly are we called to do? If we read Matt. 28:18-20 it states, All authority in Heaven and on earth was given to Me. He is in control. Next He tells His disciples (or students), which we are, disciple all nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Yahweh s supreme power) teaching them to observe all things, whatever I commanded you. So He tells us exactly what we are to do. Think now for one moment. This was said two thousand years ago. If ever, for the last two thousand years, this chain was broken so to speak, how could we today have the proper Good News? But Yahshua said in Matt. 16:18 that He would build His congregation (or better yet, His elect body) and the gates of hell would never prevail against it. In other words by His Spirit for two thousand years He would relay the Good News through His chosen called out ones until His return. Now the last sentence of Matt. 28:20 is also very important. It says, behold, I am with you all the days until the completion of the age. And yet if we are true disciples, and just want to share the joy of our salvation and His Kingdom with others, preaching the Good News could be the most rewarding and fulfilling aspect of our lives. Hab. 1:5 says, Look among the nations and behold, and be amazed. Be amazed! For a work is working in your days which you will not believe, though it be told to you. It is the most exciting thing a human being can imagine being a part of that work. We read in Acts 8:4, Then indeed, the ones who being scattered passed through, preaching the Word of Elohim. And dropping down to verse thirty, And running near, Philip heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, Indeed, do you know what you are reading? But he said, How am I able to comprehend unless someone instructs me? And he called Philip near, to come up to sit with him. It is a great honor to us that our Holy Father has chosen us to be a part of bringing sons to salvation. That is the work of Yahweh. We are the work of Yahweh. And we do have a responsibility (as Yahweh leads us) to help others down their path of salvation.

26 Feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles) 2011 It is truly one of the most exciting experiences that you will have in your life, to be blessed to spend a feast in Israel and take a Pilgrimage in the land. After reading the Holy Scriptures for so many years, to be able to see it all with your own eyes will be a life changing experience. We are trying to truly encourage representatives from countries all over the world to come and experience this rare blessing, and represent their given nation as Zech 14:16 states. After spending the feast in Jerusalem you will never want to spend it anywhere else. As it states in Eze 36:38 Like a holy flock, like the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so the wasted cities shall be filled with flocks of men. And they shall know that I am Yahweh. We are living in these times where Yahweh has brought Judah back to the land of Israel after 2500 years of Diaspora. Come and share what Yahweh is doing in His land Israel in these end times. Before Sukkot you will arrive in the Old City and we will build our Sukkah before the opening night of the feast. Then, during Sukkot we will travel several days around the Old City of Jerusalem and you will get to see the Mount of Olives, The City of David, as well as David s tomb and the room of the last supper, and also the remains of the House of Caiphas where they still have today the remains of the scourging room where Yahshua would have been held the night before His crucifixion. We also hope to possibly go to a biblical park that will teach you everything there is to know from a Hebrew perspective on the harvest fruits of Sukkot and the land of Israel. We also hope to go to Hebron during Sukkot. After Sukkot we will stop at the Valley of Elah where David fought Goliath, on our way to see Ekron one of the cities of the Philistines and also see the ancient remains of a Philistine village and archaeological artifacts that have been discovered. We will continue to Joppa where Peter met Simon the Tanner and then continue to Caesarea. The next day you will get to see Mount Carmel, Megiddo and the valley of Jezreel where Ahab and Jezebel were from. We will rest on Shabbat in Tiberius in one of the only hotel museums in the world. The next day we will travel in the north and you will be blessed to see Nazareth the very village where Yahshua grew up. Then we will go to Capernaum where He spent most of His ministry in the north and will end the day taking a boat ride on the Sea of Galilee, the very water that Yahshua walked on. And then also visit Bethsaida, the fishing village where Peter and Andrew was from as well as being the ancient Old Testament city of Gesher. Then, we have the blessing on Monday to go to Samaria to the very land of Ephraim. We will visit Mount Gerizim and you will see the remains of the 2,500 year old Samaritan temple build during the Persian era. We will also meet with an authentic Samaritan Levite priest who can show his lineage all the way back to Aaron and Eliazer. After Mount Gerizim we will continue to travel to Shiloh to see the very place where the Ark of the Covenant was placed for more than 400 years during the times of the judges. It will be a very special day. The last day of the pilgrimage we will see go north past the Hula Valley to Hatzor, where Joshua burned the city. Caesarea Philippi, where Yahshua revealed Himself to His disciples and also see King Agrippa s palace before we head down and see the only pomegranate winery in the world. The next day will be an early departure in the morning for the airport if you are not coming to the Bible school. This would include 16 days and 15 nights during the feast and the tour, NOT including airfare, but including all touring costs during and after Sukkot with two meals daily. We have been given a very good price of $1599 per person based on double room occupancy. Children under 2 are free and children between 2 and 11 are 25% off, and children 12 and over are full price. You can download all feast information and applications at 26

27 Return to The land Program But learn the parable of the fig tree (Math 24:32) Return To the Land is a program designed by Hayahad Bible Seminars in conjunction with Jewish organizations in Israel to help those now living in the nations to understand and experience exactly what was involved in creating the modern state of Israel. We are living in one of the most fantastic times in the history of humanity. To live in the time to see Israel become a nation again after 2520 years of Diaspora and to grow into the nation they are today. That struggle to regain their homeland did not come easy but took much hard work, dedication and the blessing of the Elohim of Heaven to make this a reality. The program will be focused on helping those in the nations to understand the struggles, hardships and perseverance that it took on behalf of our brother Judah to be the nation they are today. We will have lectures on everything from Holocaust survivors and the starting of the Kibbutzim, who were among the first ones to come back to the land, to young Israelis who are learning their place in modern society. In addition, we will hear from senior military officials down to everyday young Israeli soldiers to try to comprehend what they go through on a daily basis living amongst enemies that want to destroy them. Our students will be privileged to see everything from archaeological sites to military institutions and the Yad VaShem Holocaust museum to fully understand what sacrifice was required by Judah to be a nation again today. 27

28 Become an Ambassador for Israel 2 Cor 5:20 Then on behalf of Messiah, we are ambassadors, as Yahweh is exhorting through us Rev 5:10 and made us kings and priests to our Elohim; and we shall reign on the earth. Scripture clearly tells us that to be true believers we will be kings and priests of the Most High Elohim in His Kingdom and that we are now ambassadors for Yahweh s soon coming Kingdom. To this end, we will teach and train our students how to prepare for this most important job. Ambassadors are not just sent, but they must be trained for the position and country that they are going to. We are truly focused on training our students in leadership, young and old. What a true ambassador does, and how he ought to behave. Whether you are just getting out of school and want to dedicate your life as a servant of Elohim or you are older and want to make that next step in your calling to a more complete role in serving our Heavenly Father and His children. In royal families, children are trained from birth to prepare to someday take the throne. Many people will spend years of their life going to worldly learning institutions to learn secular skills that most will not even be used in the Kingdom age, don t you think it is worth a few months of your life to learn skills that you will take into our Heavenly Father s Kingdom? 28
