3 1 LANGUAGE DIFFERENCES Anyone learning English as a second language learns very quickly that some words have several definitions making English a difficult language to learn. The level of difficulty is increased within religious doctrine due to varied understandings of certain words depending on religious sect. Christianity is not immune to problems in word definitions. Because of differences in doctrinal definitions of Bible terms, Christian language has become very difficult to understand between Christian denominations. The Bible teaches one Kingdom of YHVH who is Creator of all and one Son of YHVH who is King of all kings, High Priest, High Judge, and Head of the Church Body he began in the first century. Unfortunately, doctrinal differences have altered the meaning of these high positions of Father and Son. This book is about peeling away the differences and agreeing on original Bible definitions of these and many more Bible terms using clearly defined Bible Scriptures to set the standards. Home really isn t home for strangers who try to break in to ransack and change YaHavah s intentions for his Kingdom using their own definitions of his standards and Bible doctrine. They will end up standing before the Judgment Seat of Jesus (Great White Throne) and pleading, But, Lord, did I not do thus and so in your name? To which he will reply, I do not know you. (paraphrased) Who will Jesus know? He will know those who are true Christians. There are millions of people who believe Jesus is the Son of YHVH, but are not true Christians. What makes a believer a true Christian? To understand this, we must have a true Bible definition of what a Christian is. Jesus is called the Christ. The English word Christ or Greek word Christos means the anointed one. To be anointed is to be chosen or favored. Representations of anointing from YaHavah are oil, fire, and descending dove. Jesus Biblically promised anointing is in the Spirit of YaHavah represented by the descending dove. His twelve disciples were anointed in the Spirit of YaHavah represented by fire.

4 All of the following references explain what the anointing is and the sequence of fulfillment: 1. Promised anointing of Jesus in the seven spirits of YaHavah (Isaiah 11:1-2) 2. Prophesied anointing of Jesus called the Holy one (Daniel 9:24) 3. Fulfillment of the anointing represented by the descending dove and confirming voice of YaHavah (Matthew 3:16-17) 4. Jesus told his disciples that one must be born again in the spirit to enter the Kingdom of YaHavah (John 3:5-8) 5. Jesus ascended to heaven to receive the Kingdom of YaHavah and release the outpouring of the seven spirit anointing to all who accept the whole truth of Jesus Christ (Revelation 5:6) 6. The fulfillment of the outpouring of the seven spirit anointing was announced by wind in the upper room and manifested boldly by flames upon the heads of the twelve disciples. This momentous occasion happened ten days after Jesus ascended to heaven to receive his Father s Kingdom and the Book of Life, aka, the seven sealed scroll. One must be born again in the Spirit of YaHavah to see the Kingdom of YaHavah through Jesus Christ. The Bible also describes the anointing as the baptism of Jesus and baptism in the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:1-4) The word Christian is loosely defined as being a follower of Christ. However, to be a true Christian is to be anointed in the Spirit of YaHavah, which means that person is favored by YaHavah through Jesus Christ. There are many followers, but there are few chosen for Spirit anointing. Following Christ means obeying what Jesus taught. If what he taught is altered to suit another understanding, then the followers of those altered doctrines are strangers to Jesus and YaHavah. Jesus will say in the end, I do not know you. Church ritual is just that. It is only a representation of the true anointing in the Spirit of YaHavah. In Church ritual, oil is usually dabbed on the forehead of the repentant believer to signify favor. It is a false repentance if the person follows false doctrines, even in ignorance of the truth.

5 2 WHY SHOULD BELIEVERS OF CHRIST TEST DOCTRINE? What's in it for me? Courtesy Shutterstock.com Haven t all Christian doctrines been tested and found to be true? Usually, that response comes from the perspective of the denomination a person is following. They trust that they are right and disregard differences as error by those who differ. They agree to disagree. If all Christian doctrines are true, then why do so many of them disagree about the same things? And why are there so many denominations because of disagreement? According to the Bible, all believers of Jesus Christ should be of one mind and agreement in the power of the Spirit of YHVH. YHVH is not diverse in his understanding and does not teach diversity in understanding his truth. If anything, YHVH is dogmatic and steadfast. I began learning that from the first day I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior. I also began learning how devious Satan is. Get your notepad out and write all of your questions, observations, and even disagreements, because all of the subjects in this book overlap and intermingle with each other. Things will be repeated from one chapter to help explain something in another chapter. It is difficult to mentally sort it out, at least it was for me when I first started learning these things. False doctrines will argue many points made here, so bear with me to the end, then review your notes and choose how you want to go. I pray or talk to the Lord every day, but from 1980 to 1995 I prayed daily specifically for YaHavah s wisdom and understanding. Those were my first years of studying the Bible and the Revelation of Jesus Christ. I was a new

6 Christian and I jumped into the deep end of the pool. Even so, those were the years that my first study/commentary came into existence. It took a lot of soul searching and praying to overcome, not only my own willful independence, but many needless and burdening traditions placed on Christianity and women. Things like: women shouldn t teach men about Bible doctrine, one should not question the knowledge and authority of Pastors and Theologians, and tread lightly with regard to fresh insights from the Bible. I had a lot of arguments going on in my head that were trying to discourage me from doing what I knew I was called to do. Satan is very good at creating doubt and stifling confidence in the Bible and Christianity. It took many years, but I had the best mentors of all to bring me through all of those trials. Their names are YaHavah and Jesus. The promises in the Bible about them are true. They are faithful to the faithful and they are encouraging to the wavering and weary. Even so, Christians have become complacent in that they are not doing what the Bible commands them to do; test the spirit of all things to see if it is from YHVH. Adam didn t do this when he was tempted, but Jesus did. The Serpent knew that YHVH commanded Adam to not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and taunted Adam and Eve with doubt. Adam should have corrected the Enchanter by repeating exactly what YHVH commanded and stood firm on it. Satan tempted Jesus and Jesus responded with the truth and stood firm. That is what testing the spirit is about. Christians need to test the spirit of everything they think, hear, and see before they act on it. Once the habit is formed, it becomes automatic. Choices and decisions are made every day of a person s life. To make important decisions one usually researches the reasons to do something or to not do it. That is the responsible human norm. Complacency occurs in a Christian s spiritual life when he or she allows their spiritual choices to be made for them by someone else; they trust that person or group, very often, in their own ignorance in their lack of Bible knowledge. Because of complacent ignorance, Christianity is failing to be what YHVH meant it to be through Jesus Christ. Examine the tenets of faith (beliefs concerning Bible doctrine) for each church or church organization, and you will see that complete unity in the Spirit of YHVH does not exist. If there is even one church tenet of faith that disagrees with other churches, there is a major problem. I ve seen disagreement within disagreement. Yet, these differences are brushed off as if they did not exist followed by the common mantra, agree to disagree, as if agreeing to disagree makes everything right.

7 Another prominent rule of human understanding is in the negotiability of Bible doctrine. This rule appears to say the only non-negotiable doctrines of faith are (1) the three separate persons of the Trinity in one godhead, (2) the virgin birth of Jesus, (3) that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, and (4) that Jesus was resurrected from the dead. All other doctrines are viewed as negotiable. WRONG! There is not one Bible doctrine that is negotiable. Human understanding might be negotiable or compromised, but YHVH s understanding is not. Usually, item #1 is listed before anything about Jesus. Every person who writes about or discusses a particular doctrine will provide alternative interpretations of that doctrine. Alternative points of view should be cited to expose error, but never held above Bible references. Very often, the route of least resistance is taken based on current popularity. Sometimes over use of alternative points of view make it difficult to determine exactly what the commentator believes. It is sad to me that truth is often determined by the number who believes a doctrine and the length of time for its existence rather than what the Bible actually teaches. A Multi-Level Example of Testing In the first century, Apostle Paul penned two letters to Timothy. In his first letter Paul gave instructions for the administration of the church. His second letter is about spiritual decisions. Paul profoundly stated in 2Timothy 4:1-5: 1 I charge [you] therefore before YHVH, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all courage and instruction. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 and they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned to fables. 5 But [be] watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. In 1John 4:1-6 John wrote: 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits whether they are of YHVH: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of YHVH: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of YHVH: 3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ came in the flesh is not of YHVH: and this is

8 that [spirit] of antichrist, whereof you have heard that it should come; and even now it is in the world. 4 You are of YHVH, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. 5 They are of the world: therefore, speak they of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We are of YHVH: he that knows YHVH hears us; he that is not of YHVH hears not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 1John 4:2-3 is a perfect example for testing disputed doctrine. How many Bible students really understand the phrase, Jesus Christ is come in the flesh? This one phrase has two implications that are clearly defined in the Bible, yet not clearly understood by most Christians. First, the epithet, Christos, is the Greek word for the Jewish epithet, Messiah. Both mean the anointed one, which is the fulfillment of Daniel 9:24 and Isaiah 11:1-5 that was witnessed at Jesus baptism at the beginning of his ministry. Second, to come in the flesh implies that Jesus was the human Son of YHVH. The Greek word sarx translated to flesh means flesh and bone. If anything else was intended, it would have been included. In Bible times, it was a common practice to attribute a god status to men of high standing or power. Alexander the Great was called a god. The Roman Caesars were called gods. Antiochus IV (Epiphanes) claimed god status you may remember him as the Syrian leader who ordered the Jewish Temple to be desecrated with the sacrifice of a pig. Antiochus was the descendant of Seleucus, one of Alexander the Great s four generals. The status of a god was the Hellenistic pagan way of power. Today, most theologians interpret came in the flesh to mean Jesus was a god who existed before creation. This interpretation is Hellenism at its highest. Arius (4 th century AD), was condemned a heretic by the Catholic Church for saying Jesus is not God. Even today, that condemnation is placed on anyone who says Jesus is not God. Arius claims are called Arianism. Today, anyone who says that Jesus is not God is accused of Arianism. But that is a wrong accusation. Let s fine tune the reasoning behind Arianism. In the fourth century, Arius stated his belief that Jesus was not God. This part of his statement is correct, though his reasoning for it was not based on the critical exception noted below in bold letters. Arius was pronounced a heretic for saying Jesus was not god because that went against the Trinitarian claim that Jesus is God or an incarnated god. He was pronounced a heretic against the Catholic Church

9 because he blasphemed the Trinity doctrine. However, Arius fatal error against YHVH was in stating that Jesus was not the birth son of YHVH, but a mere man lifted up to the status of a son of YHVH. The teachings of Arius are known as Arianism; therefore, to say Jesus is not God with the understanding that Jesus is the one and only begotten son of YHVH is not Arianism. No implication is made anywhere in the Bible that Jesus was called or claimed to be a god. His accusers called him a blasphemer for claiming to be the promised Son of man. Matthew 26: And the high priest arose, and said to him, Answer you nothing? What [is it which] these witness against you? 63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said to him, I adjure you by the living Elohim, that you tell us whether you be the Christ, the Son of YHVH. 64 Jesus said to him, You have said: nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. 65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He has spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? Behold, now you have heard his blasphemy. Jesus was like every other person born into this world; with one critical exception being the birth Son of YHVH broke the curse of Adam s knowledge of good and evil passed on to all humans by every human father. Jesus did not bear Adam s sin because he had no human father in the line of Adam to pass it on to him. Jesus was born sinless. Jesus is the Son of YHVH, human, sinless, and anointed in the Spirit of YHVH. These facts are non-negotiable. All four of these truths are well documented and defined in the Bible. The denial of any of these four truths about Jesus is not of YHVH; therefore, denial of these are heresy against YHVH and Jesus. The truths about Jesus encompassed in the phrase Jesus Christ is come in the flesh puts two very old traditional doctrines to the test and finds them not of YHVH; they are the Trinity and the incarnation of Jesus. Greater explanation of these are in the book, The Glossary of Bible Terms for the Word of YHVH Bible. Agreeing to Agree People throw clichés around with great ease never realizing what they are actually saying. For instance, the current mantra of Christianity, agree to disagree, is really collaboration to disagree with YHVH by going their own way.

10 While agreeing to agree in the Spirit of YHVH is the whole purpose of the Bible. It is the basis of Christianity. In order to agree to agree in the Spirit of YHVH, one must be able to make an educated choice concerning Bible doctrine. The chapter titles in this book are harsh accusations against the complacency of those who believe in Christianity and claim the Christian title. What s more, I am publically making these accusations. And this is the answer to why those claiming the Christian beliefs and title should must know how to test doctrines to protect themselves and the truth of the Scriptures.

11 3 HOW ARE BELIEVERS OF CHRIST FAILING THEIR CREATOR? The Precious Name of our Creator By now you are probably wondering in frustration what YHVH means and how to pronounce it. Perhaps you are even asking, If it is the name of our Creator, why isn t it in the Bible? The answer is that the translators for most English Bibles substituted the name and title of our Creator with the words LORD God. The words, LORD and God do not convey the heart and meaning of our Creator s Hebrew name and title. From Adam up to and during the Egyptian captivity, the Hebrew people only knew their Creator as El Almighty. YHVH is the Hebrew personal name of our Creator. His title of deference, Elohim, was introduced in Genesis 1:1. His name was linked to this title of deference in the Hebrew Scriptures of Genesis 2:4 as YHVH Elohim. Genesis is the first of five books written by Moses 2,669 years after Adam and during the 40-year Wilderness Journey of the Israelites. Israelites or Jews call the name YHVH the Four Letters. It is a tetragram, meaning a word comprised of four letters. I have read many arguments about the pronunciation of YHVH, some delving into the depths of linguistic explanation. I prefer the simplicity of the Bible that always works well on a need to know basis. It tells us whatever we need

12 to know. The true name of our Creator is something Christians really do need to know. It will help in understanding the name YHVH if we explore a little of the history of the Hebrew alphabet. The original Hebrew alphabet did not have any vowel letters. The evolution of the Hebrew consonantal alphabet involves many changes from simple pictographs, like those in the above image, to printed letters with dashes or dots above or below the letters to signify vowel sounds. Today there are several consonants that are sometimes used as vowels called consonantal vowels, and four consonants always used as vowels called full consonantal vowels. These four letters are aleph, hey, vav, and yud. Each of these letters was assigned a permanent vowel sound. It is interesting that yud, hey, and vav in the name YHVH were changed to be full consonantal vowels Y-yud, H-hey, V-vav, H-hey. Yud was assigned an ee sound. Hey was assigned an ei or ay sound, except at the end of a word, then it is ah. Vav was assigned an oh or oo sound. As full consonantal vowels the Four Letters would sound like ee hay voh hay. Seriously? Words containing all consonantal vowels are called malei ל א) (מ spellings. (More information about the Hebrew alphabet is available at No wonder it is thought to be near impossible to know how to pronounce YHVH, but there is hope. Vowel points as dots and lines above and/or below the consonant were introduced around 600 AD by a group of scribes in Tiberias called the Masoretes. (Tiberias is located on the Western shore of Galilee. It has been one of the Holiest Jewish cities for almost 2,000 years.) These vowel changes and other evolutionary changes over time have opened the door to alternate pronunciations of YHVH, not only causing the proper pronunciation to be lost, but the meaning as well and, of course, the notion that the name is too holy to speak. A few examples of attempts at pronunciation are Jehovah, Yahweh, Yahvah, and many others. These names do not convey the meaning of the original Four Letters (YHVH), neither do they convey the root word of the Four Letters. Even though some say there is no way to know how to pronounce the Hebrew Four Letters; YHVH gave us the root knowledge of his name in one of the most quoted Old Testament (OT) Scriptures.

13 The root of a word determines the meaning and pronunciation of the whole word; therefore, we must determine the root word of YHVH. Once the root is known, pronunciation of a word or name is said to be fairly easy. We shall see. The accepted linguistic definition of a root word is A root, or root word, is a word that does not have a prefix (in front of the word) or a suffix (at the end of a word). The root word is the primary lexical unit of a word, and of a word family (root is then called base word), which carries the most significant aspects of semantic content and cannot be reduced into smaller constituents. ( The primary word unit or root of YHVH is HVH pronounced hävah meaning, be or to exist from Strong s reference numbers H1933 and H1934. Relative to our Creator, hävah is life or existence. Logic demands that YHVH be pronounced YaHavah. But there is more. HVH is a primitive root related to another primitive root HYH pronounced häyah and meaning to exist, be, or become from Strong s reference number H1961. YaHavah himself provides the whole meaning, pronunciation, and individuality of his name and person using the primitive roots häyah and hävah in just two well-known Bible verses. Exodus 3: And Elohim said to Moses, HYH who [is] HYH said, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, HYH has sent me to you. 15 And Elohim said moreover to Moses, Thus shall you say to the children of Israel, YHVH Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, has sent me to you, this [is] My name forever, and this [is] my memorial to all generations. HYH who [is] HYH is the same phrase other Bible versions translate to I AM that I AM. The English phrase I AM is vague, again losing the meaning of the original language. The early Israelites knew that HYH (häyah) means, to exist or the one who exists. They knew that HYH and HVH both mean the same thing and that they both express the infinity, omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience of their El Almighty, though they expressed those attributes in other ways described in my Word of YHVH Bible companion book, Glossary of Bible Terms under the subheading, Hebrew Epithets for YHVH. Again, the evidence indicates that the closest correct pronunciation of YHVH is YaHävah; at least the connotation of his eternal existence and ever-presence is retained in that pronunciation.

14 Hebrew linguists will most certainly cringe at my explanation, but this is not about linguistics, it is about the simplest understanding of the name and knowing YaHavah. May I remind them that if the name was not intended to be spoken, why is it written 6,521 times in the OT Hebrew Scriptures? Keep it simple and go with the root word, hävah to form the name YaHavah. Regarding the name Jehovah, the New Standard Jewish Encyclopedia states, the English transliteration, Jehovah, is a misnomer and explains that the misplacement of vowel points is suggested as the reason for the mistake. The root of Yehovah is the same as Jehovah and probably the same word, since there is no letter J in the Hebrew alphabet. The root of the name Jehovah is HVH with a different vowel point and pronounced hōvah meaning ruin, mischief, or coveting, making the English pronunciation, Jehovah, not only a misnomer but a gross contradiction to the character of our Creator. (Strong s reference number H1943) What will this bit of knowledge do to all of the worship songs with the name Jehovah in them, like one of my favorites, Jehovah Jireh, My Provider? Personally, I think it would sound more awesome as YaHavah Yireh, My Provider. (Genesis 22:14) A Name Too Holy to Speak? The too holy superstition of speaking the name YHVH might have come from YaHavah s ban in Jeremiah 44:1-30 on speaking his name. YaHavah banned the use of his name by the tribe of Judah living in Egypt during the Babylonian captivity, who blatantly disobeyed the third Commandment by using his name falsely. There were many false prophets among them who were prophesying, Thus saith YHVH when he did not speak to them. Today, there are many ministries offering courses on being a prophet and speaking prophetic words with Thus sayeth the Lord. I wonder if they realize being a prophet of YHVH is a gift given and taught only by YHVH. The prophet schools claim they do not teach people how to be prophets, yet the inference is there, since the focus is on all of the references of prophets in the Bible. Much is read into those verses that are not there and miss things that should be learned from them, such as the prophets of YHVH were inspired by YHVH through their deep love and respect of their Elohim. They also taught their sons and daughters to love YHVH with all their hearts. There are many false prophets among the Christian Church today; there will always be false prophets who seek and profess the power of YHVH for their

15 own benefit. The Bible warns believers to stay out of their path lest they be thrown off-guard by their lies. Today, false prophet means a person who teaches false doctrine. The translators of the 1611 King James Version had specific orders from King James concerning the work of translation. Because of disagreements caused by the first two translations ordered by previous kings, King James gave the translators instructions intended to guarantee that the new version would conform to the ecclesiology and reflect the episcopal structure of the Church of England and its belief in an ordained clergy. The text of the Bishops' Bible would serve as the primary guide for the translators, and the familiar proper names of the biblical characters would all be retained. ( Ecclesiology means the study of church doctrine. In this case, it was of Episcopal origins of the Church of England with limitations on Puritan criticisms. Familiar proper names were retained. Apparently, the name YaHavah Elohim was not familiar enough to be put in KJV Bible. They chose instead LORD God not realizing the problems those titles had already caused and the greater ones yet to come. They feared the King more than they feared YaHavah and in their respect for the King, they profaned the name of YaHavah by calling him by another name having no stable Biblical meaning. Bible publishers for the past 400 years have had opportunity to correct that violation, but have not. Why have they not? What does YaHavah say about himself? 1. YaHavah created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1; 2:4) 2. YaHavah fills the heavens and the earth (Jeremiah 23:24) 3. YaHavah said his name would be proclaimed in all the earth (Malachi 1:11; Romans 9:17) 4. YaHavah said he is Savior and Redeemer. (Isaiah 60:16; Hosea 13:4) 5. YaHavah said his name was in the heart of Moses and on the children of Israel. (Exodus 23:21; Numbers 6:27) 6. YaHavah said he would redeem those who proclaim his name. (2Chronicles 7:14) 7. YaHavah said he will destroy all who will not proclaim his name. (Malachi 2:2) 8. YaHavah will destroy any who swear falsely or profane his name as stated in the Third Commandment. (Deuteronomy 18:20) This is the commandment that is completely disregarded by the translators of traditional Bibles by using the terms LORD and God

16 9. YaHavah s name is in his Son, meaning he anointed his son with his Spirit and affirmed that he is his son in whom he is well pleased. Jesus is not YaHavah, but very much YaHavah with us Emmanuel/Immanuel. (Immanuel: Isaiah 7:14; 8:8; Deuteronomy 18:19 Anointing: Isaiah 11:1-2; Daniel 9:24; Matthew 3:16-17; John 3:5-8; Revelation 5:6; Acts 2:1-4) Item number 3 states the name of YaHavah would be proclaimed in the whole earth. How can a name be proclaimed if it is thought to be too holy to speak or the people cannot agree on how it is pronounced? Here is a project for you, do a phrase search for My name in the Bible and another for My Spirit. Be sure to make notes of what you learn about YHVH for future reference. There are 96 references to the phrase My Name relative to YaHavah in the Bible, including those spoken by Jesus in the NT. Jesus spoke the words given him to speak, so when he said in My Name he was referring to the authority in his and his Father s name by the power of YaHavah s omnipresent Spirit. Jesus is the Son of YaHavah, he is also YaHavah s greatest prophet, his judge, his high priest, and his King of all kings, for YaHavah gave his Kingdom to his son when he ascended to heaven. Jesus words and actions are his Father s words and actions through him by his Father s omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient Spirit who fills the heavens and the earth. (Jeremiah 23:24) The names of Jesus and YaHavah are extremely important in knowing and understanding the fullness of their relationship with each other and all true believers. Believers are commanded to protect and disseminate that knowledge. Christians fail YHVH by not proclaiming his name to all the world. Christians also fail YHVH by not teaching everything the Bible teaches about the Spirit of YHVH.

17 4 HOW HAVE BELIEVERS OF CHRIST FAILED THE SEVEN SPIRITS of YHVH? Jewish Lampstand- Exodus 25:31-38 First mention of the Lampstand During the Israelite s Wilderness Journey, YHVH told Moses how to make the seven lampstands. The Tabernacle Lampstand was created by pounding all of the branches out from the center to make the lampstand all one piece. Exodus 25:36 Their knops and their branches shall be of the same, all it [shall be] one beaten work [of] pure gold. The artisans were not allowed to add the branches to the center stem. That would be like physically adding branches to the tree of life. The branches of the tree of life naturally extend from the tree s trunk and the trunk from its base. The life of the branches come from the tree s trunk and roots to make them all one. In the same way, the center stem of the lampstand and its center flame represents the life of the Spirit of YHVH in his creation. The top seven, as a whole, represent the seven spirits of YaHavah that are named in Isaiah 11:1-2. The three top branches on each side represent the attributes of the Spirit that feed, teach, and protect those who truly belong to YHVH and Jesus. They are the life and light of his creation and the life and light of all true believers who are born again in his Spirit. The two lower branches on each side represents the four stations or aspects of Jesus life and purpose to bring true believers to their destination in the

18 Kingdom of YaHavah. These four are also represented and demonstrated in Ezekiel s vision of the Four Living Creatures. The lampstand as a whole is a representation of what the Church Jesus started is supposed to reveal to the world. The Bible says the seven lampstands (are) the seven spirits, (are) the seven eyes, (are) the seven churches. Burn this into your memory because this chapter will give full disclosure of all of them after which you will have no excuse except by your own choice to not believe the Bible and not to listen to the Spirit. Everyone who has read or heard about the seven spirits has questions about them. They are referenced three times in the Book of Revelation. My Word of YHVH Bible (WYB) provides explanations for the seven spirits in annotations throughout the Bible. A word search for seven spirits in the WYB PDF navigation column will highlight the phrase 77 times where the reader will receive full knowledge and purpose for the seven spirits. The only excuse a person can have for not knowing what the seven spirits are and their purpose, is the lack of them in that person s life; which means that person is not born again in the Spirit of YHVH and not sealed for salvation. On Being Sealed for Salvation Jesus repeatedly told his disciples he had to go to be glorified before the promised Spirit (Comforter) could come to them. Jesus ascended to heaven to receive the Kingdom of YHVH and release the outpouring of the seven spirit anointing to all who accept the whole truth of Jesus Christ. The timing is the ten days between his ascension into heaven and the Day of Pentecost. In my opinion, the following list of seven anointing references are the most important verses in the entire Bible. 1. Psalm 110:4 Jesus was consecrated as High Priest forever in the order of Melchizedek (Hebrew 7:20-28) 2. Isaiah 11:1-2 Promised anointing of Jesus in the seven spirits of YaHavah 3. Daniel 9:24 Daniel prophesied the anointing of Jesus who YaHavah identified as the Holy one 4. Matthew 3:16-17 Fulfillment of the anointing represented by the descending dove and voice of YHVH.

19 5. John 3:5-8 Jesus told his disciples that one must be born again in the spirit to see the Kingdom of YHVH. 6. Revelation 5:6 6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the Four Living Creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of YHVH sent forth into all the earth. 7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. (Acts 2:1-4; Isaiah 11:1) 7. Acts 2:1-4 The manifestation of the Comforter by the seven spirit anointing was evidenced by a wind in the upper room and flames over the heads of the disciples. One must be born again in the Spirit of YaHavah to see the Kingdom of YHVH. The first three items reference prophecies for Jesus anointing in the seven spirits in fulfillment of Isaiah 11:1-5 and the prophecy of his name Immanuel meaning YHVH with us. Each true believer of Jesus receives the same seven spirit anointing in fulfillment of Revelation 5:6 and Acts 2:1-4; that is if there are no false doctrines about YaHavah and Jesus blocking the way. Pray with a sincere desire for YaHavah to reveal any false doctrines. Primary Instructions on Spirit: 1. Isaiah 11:1-2 for what the seven spirits of YaHavah are 2.

Proverbs Chapters general guidelines Excerpt from my website, YaHavah created man (Adam) to have fellowship with himself. Fellowship implies likeness; the Bible teaches that YaHavah created man in his likeness; a spirit person. He made the human spirit finite to live in a house of flesh and bone. Adam started his life having access to YaHavah s wisdom and knowledge, which he used in naming all the plants and animals and caring for the Garden of YaHavah. Fellowship with YaHavah also implies his counsel and understanding. Man must have YaHavah s counsel and understanding to learn how to live by his standards. Adam lived a good life under YaHavah s

20 standards, until another influence tempted him and he failed to fear YaHavah. Under grace, the strength to overcome Satan s temptations is in the Spirit of YaHavah through Jesus. The bolded words are the seven spirits of Isaiah 11:1-2; the same seven spirits in which Jesus was anointed and the 12 disciples received on the Day of Pentecost when the seven spirits were sent out into the world. (Revelation 5:6) Every baby born into this world is born with the knowledge of good and evil passed to us by every human father, except Jesus who did not have a human father. Jesus birth father is YaHavah. I created a chart of the seven spirits of good and evil in the interest of understanding what the seven spirits of YaHavah are and how they protect against the seven spirits of evil. This chart is also displayed on my web site home page. I did this to help believers to overcome the fear of the unknown in the Spirit. The seven spirit anointing was received by Jesus after his baptism by John (Isaiah 11:1-3; Mt. 3:16; Mk 1:10-11; Lk. 3:22; Jn. 1:32-33) This anointing was prophesied in Daniel 9: The seven spirits represent the person of YHVH in the action of his Holy Spirit within the Kingdom of YHVH. 2. The seven lamps in the Tabernacle and temple Holy Place represent the seven spirits. (Ex. 25:21-35; 37:17-20; Zech. 4:2-3; Rev. 4:5) 3. The seven churches of Revelation demonstrate the action of the seven spirits of good and evil. (Rev. 3:1-Sardis) 4. The seven horns on the slain lamb represent the power of the Spirit in Jesus Christ and his leadership. (Rev. 5:6) 5. The seven eyes of YHVH are the seven spirits released into the earth (Rev. 5:6) 6. The outpouring at Pentecost (Acts 22-4; Jn. 15:26; Rev. 5:6) 7. The seven spirit anointing is necessary for entrance into the Kingdom of YHVH through the baptism of Jesus. (Jn. 3:5, 16) This is the action of being born again by the Spirit of YaHavah. The seven Spirits of YHVH are to the Christian relationship of YHVH with humankind, as Daniel s prophecy of seventy sevens of weeks is to the direction of YHVH to New Jerusalem. That may seem like a strange correlation, however, it takes Spirit understanding, counsel, wisdom, and knowledge to fully comprehend it and avoid being caught in a web of false doctrine.

21 The seven spirits maintain the Christian walk and Daniel s seventy sevens prophecy maintains the road for the journey. I call it Route 77 to New Jerusalem. I even put it in my address as rte77 for a constant reminder of my Christian walk. More on Daniel s seventy sevens later. There are many single words that could describe the seven spirits, such as attributes, aspects, characteristics, or distinguishing features of the Spirit of YHVH. However, it is their purpose that clarifies the who and what of the seven spirits. John 14:19-23 Jesus said, 19 Yet a little while, and the world sees me no more; but you see me: because I live, you shall live also. 20 At that day you shall know that I [am] in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. 21 He that has my commandments, and keeps them, he it is that loves me: and he that loves me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 22 Judas, not Iscariot, said to him, Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world? 23 Jesus answered and said to him, If a man loves me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come to him, and make our abode with him.

22 The manifestation of Father and Son to believers is by the infinite invisible Spirit (breath) of YHVH, which is the same breath that breathes the soul life into every newborn baby. The Spirit is life and light. We must take into consideration that every baby born, with the exception of Jesus, inherits the sin nature caused by Adam s sin. One must be born again in the Spirit of YHVH to override the sin nature. It is the responsibility of every parent to sanctify their children under their own rebirth in Jesus until they reach the age of decision. John 3: For YHVH so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For YHVH sent his Son into the world not to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the authority of the only begotten Son of YHVH. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that does truth comes to the light that his deeds may be made manifest, because they are complete in YHVH. Rebirth comes only through acceptance of Jesus Christ who paid the price of death for Adam s sin in our stead. When a person hears the gospel message of Jesus Christ, believes, and surrenders to the Lord, the Spirit of YHVH breathes new life into that person and he or she is born again with the presence of Father and Son. The breath (Spirit) of the Father and the kingship of the Son come in to overcome the inherent sin nature in a willing and obedient heart. (John 14:23) The anointing in the Spirit comes with seven aspects of the Spirit to guide the newborn in the knowledge and righteousness of YHVH. The purpose of being anointed in the seven Spirits of YHVH is three-fold: 1. One must be born again of the Spirit of YHVH to enter into the Kingdom of YHVH. 2. For the Spirit to edify, teach, and reprove the Body of Christ in and through each believer. 3. For the born again Christian to obey and do the work of YHVH for a lifetime as outlined in the Great Commission. The seven spirits of YaHavah are further testimony against the many views of who God is. Denominationalism comes from differences of opinion on anything and everything the Bible teaches. In the perception of human

23 understanding, there are alternative views of the word God, but the Bible is not about an ambiguous word. The Bible is about the very real relationship between YaHavah, Jesus, and you and that is by the action of the seven spirit anointing. Proverbs 1: Wisdom cries without; uttering a loud voice in the streets: 21 crying out in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city utters these words, [saying], 22 how long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? And the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out My Spirit to you, I will make known my words to you. He will make known his words means he will give knowledge and understanding of himself. To hate knowledge is to choose ignorance; ignorance is one of the seven spirits of lawlessness. Why Haven t Holy Spirit Revivals Lasted and Spread? I was struck by the opening comment of this . The following was forwarded to me by Andrew Strom of New Zealand. (REVIVAL List <prophetic@revivalschool.com> Thu, Apr 28, 2016 at 3:53 AM Reply-To: prophetic@revivalschool.com) To: anzac@welovegod.org COMMENT: Sadly, have we now become too cynical to believe such prophecies? Are we only convinced that evil will triumph and that true Revival is "impossible"? Maybe such cynicism is hurting us more than we know. Why can God not pour out His Spirit again in our day the same as He did in the past? THE AZUSA PROPHECIES Years Ago -Michael Edds & co. As the Azusa Street Revival was coming to an end in the 1900s, it is recorded that Charles Parham, known as "Father of Pentecost" and William Seymour, known as "The Catalyst of Pentecost" on the same day, at two separate locations, prophesied that there will be another stronger move of God s Spirit on the earth, which will take place 100 years from then. They said that it will be an outpouring of God s Spirit and His Shekinah glory that would be greater and more far-reaching than what was experienced at Azusa. This prophecy was also confirmed by Maria Woodworth-Etter in The revival had moved from Los Angeles to its new focal point of Chicago, Illinois. Pentecost swept from Chicago to Canada, Europe, South America and Africa. One of the greatest outpourings occurred at Stone

24 Church in The renowned evangelist Maria Woodworth Etter began a revival on July 2, 1913 at Stone Church. The services were to last until the end of July but continued for six months. This was a time of divine appointment for the city of Chicago; God rent the heavens and came down!! Scenes from the days of the Early Church began to occur at Stone Church. Word began to spread throughout Chicago of miraculous healings, deliverance from demonic possession, conversions, and of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit happening in these meetings. Advertisement was no longer necessary! The city was incredibly shaken. Word spread of the miraculous intervention of God. Thousands came on trolleys, buggies, and trains, while many walked. Some came from distances of 1,600 miles away to 1500 packed into Stone Church each night. The basement was filled and many stood out on the street. Street meetings were held to accommodate them. As Christians prayed around the altar one evening, Sister Woodworth- Etter and others gave the following powerful prophecy- "We are not yet up to the fullness... it will far exceed anything we have seen." Also that "there will be a greater move of God in the next 100 years, the glory of which has never been seen..." Michael Edds continues- "I believe that we have reached the time of the fulfillment of these 100- year-old prophecies. We must be diligent to pray, intercede and protect what the Lord is doing. We must encourage and edify one another as never before. We must crucify every critical, judgmental and religious spirit that may be within us. We must put on the holiness and righteousness of Christ. Our time of divine destiny has come. We are about to experience what Brother Seymour and Sister Woodworth-Etter foresaw." -Source: GreatAwakening.blogspot.com YES! - You have permission to post these s to friends or other groups, boards, etc - unless there is a Copyright notice above which says differently. (stated by Andrew Strom) The writer poses a question that many thousands of Christians are asking today and have been asking for many years about the first century outpouring of the Spirit. Perhaps, when these questions are asked, the questioner needs to ask what the motive is for the question. Is it to see or be part of miracles? Is it to receive power to fulfill selfish desires? Does the seeker have a secret agenda? There is a reason for the story of Simon the Sorcerer in Acts 8; he was what these questions are about and what so many people do not realize about their worldly side.

25 Believers are so hungry for first-century power; they are willing to believe almost any prophecy that promises its return. Christians think they know how to test the spirit but do they really know how to test the spirit of everything they think, hear, and see? Learning how to transition from selfsufficient to YaHavah sufficient is not an easy one, yet very worthwhile. Michael Edds is of the Pentecostal Holiness persuasion, which is also Trinitarian. The Trinity doctrine that became an accepted creed of the Catholic Church in the fourth century, is what happened to the power of the first century Church Jesus started. Do I agree that We must crucify every critical, judgmental and religious spirit that may be within us? If one considers the way it is stated, I believe it falls into the category of self-works. We have no power to make those kinds of changes without the true Holy Spirit. Which side of the line of demarcation in the above chart is the spirit of the doctrines people believe today? Learn how YaHavah uses his seven spirits to grow a worthy people for his Kingdom. Don t go on a dangerous witch hunt for the spirit of Jezebel spoken of so much today. It can cause greater damage than you can imagine to an already damaged human spirit. I am also writing a book on those dangers. Will YaHavah come to a people who will not listen to him? We can learn much about this problem from the parable of the ten virgins. Matthew 25: Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened to ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five [were] foolish. 3 They that [were] foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, [Not so]; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go you rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, In truth, I say to you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man comes. (Refer to the Song of Solomon)

26 YaHavah is the life and light of the world. His Spirit is the oil in the lamps of the wise. At the end, when Jesus returns, there will be many millions left behind because of their choices. Tim LaHaye s Left Behind book series does not teach the truth about who will be left behind. The truth is that some will be like those whose lamps had no oil (the Spirit of YaHavah), yet they believe in Jesus and did not take the mark of the Beast. They will pray right up to the very end for revival and fresh infilling of the Spirit as they watch loved ones vanish at the call of Jesus. Why? Because they will love YHVH and Jesus but fail to repent of false doctrine. True revival will not come to the present churches until believers are willing to listen to the Spirit instead of false prophets. A false understanding of the Spirit blocks their lamps from being filled with the oil of life and light. Some of those who will be left behind will survive Armageddon and live to enter the millennium. They didn t listen to or weren t given the whole message of Jesus, but because they love YaHavah and Jesus. YaHavah, in his mercy and grace will grant some a second chance. They are those who will procreate and grow the millennial generation. (The resurrected cannot procreate because they will be like the angels who do not marry, neither do they procreate.) Those who are left behind and the generations of their offspring will be tested by Satan when he is released from his imprisonment of a thousand years in chains. How many will prove to be good listeners of the Spirit then? There will be another destruction called the war of Gog/Magog when the final cleansing will occur. There will be no second chances then. How many will survive that one? Everything anyone needs to know about the precious Father and Son team is in the Bible. All it takes to find it is the willingness to listen to the teacher and protector, YaHavah. Jesus holds the key to the door of the Kingdom of YaHavah. He knocks on the door of your heart and if you will open, he and his Father will make their abode with you. Father will teach you by the omnipresence and omniscience of his own Spirit. Your lamp will be filled with the oil of eternal light. This is not spiritualism; spiritualism tries to imitate the Spirit of YaHavah, and lately has been convincing a lot of people because of their own ignorance and gullibility. When a believer s heart is repentant before YHVH, Father and Son come to reside with that believer by the anointing of the seven spirits of YHVH. It is the same anointing Jesus received after he raised up from John's baptism in water and the dove descended upon him. The anointing of believers in Jesus Christ is called the baptism of Jesus or Jesus baptism in the Spirit. John baptized

27 in water and Jesus baptizes in the Spirit of YaHavah. Truly repentant believers receive this same anointing in the Spirit. The Holy Spirit or Breath of YHVH and the seven Spirits are the same Person of YHVH. They are all the invisible and infinite Person of YHVH and cannot be separated from each other or from YHVH. Below are a few verses showing how YHVH refers to his Spirit. Job 33:4 The Spirit of Elohim has made me and the breath of the Almighty has given me life. Proverbs 1:23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out My Spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. Isaiah 30:1 Woe to the rebellious children, says YHVH, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of My Spirit, that they may add sin to sin: Isaiah 42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, [in whom] my soul delights; I have put My Spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. Isaiah 44:3 For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour My Spirit upon your seed and my blessing upon your offspring: Isaiah 59:21 As for me, this [is] my covenant with them, says YHVH; My Spirit that [is] upon you and my words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed's seed, says YHVH, from henceforth and forever. Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of Adonai YHVH is upon me because YHVH has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound. Isaiah 11:2 And the Spirit of YHVH shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YHVH. Again, YHVH created man to have fellowship with himself. Fellowship implies likeness; the Bible teaches that YHVH created man in his likeness, in reference to spirit. Adam started his life having access to YHVH s wisdom and knowledge, which he used in naming all the animals and plants. Wisdom and knowledge are two of the seven Spirits of YHVH. Fellowship with YHVH also implies his counsel and understanding. Man must have YHVH s counsel and understanding to learn how to live by his standards. Adam lived a good life

28 under YHVH s standards, until another influence tempted him and he failed to fear YHVH. Cause and Effect When the Serpent, more correctly called the Enchanter, spoke to Eve (Genesis 3:1-6), he made it sound like wisdom was to be acquired from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, even though Adam and Eve already had access to YHVH s wisdom. That is when two influencing forces acting upon human thought and action entered YHVH s creation. They are the forces of good and evil released when Adam ate from the forbidden tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The Spirit of YHVH influences good, while the spirit of lawlessness (deaf ears to YHVH) influences evil. The influence of the spirit of lawlessness, being the root of sin, fosters sinful thoughts and actions. Paul defined these two natures as the Law of YHVH and the law of sin, one to life, and the other to death. Romans 8:2 He declared, The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death. The true character of YHVH comes to us by his infinite Spirit through Jesus Christ, who has all power in heaven and in earth. (Revelation Chapters 4 and 5, Matthew 28:18-20) His power is from his Father by his Father s Spirit, called Spirit of YHVH, aka, Holy Spirit, and Holy Ghost. My words cannot fully express the simplicity of the Bible in stating the infinite presence of YHVH by his Spirit. Neither can I adequately describe the beautifully woven fabric of the doctrines of the Bible. Deuteronomy 5:39 Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in your heart, that YHVH, he [is] Elohim in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: [there is] none else. Paul warned the Corinthians against listening to anyone who professed another Jesus or Spirit. 2Corinthians 11:1-4 O that you could bear with me a little in [my] folly: and indeed bear with me. 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ. 3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the Enchanter beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4 For if he that comes preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] you receive

29 another Spirit, which you have not received, or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you might well bear with [him]. Christianity has failed the seven spirits by allowing them to be the best kept secret in the Bible. The effect is that people have been preaching another Jesus and another Spirit from the start, or at least from the second century AD; after all, is it not Satan s plan to divide and destroy? Here is where I am going with this. If believers are listening to another Spirit, they are not hearing the truth. The fruit of this dilemma is in thousands of Christian denominations worldwide and as many false doctrines. Unity of the Body of Christ is the fruit of the Spirit of YHVH. The conspiracy behind the word God is to divide the Body of Christ. Division is obvious evidence of a major hindrance to the Kingdom of YHVH. In the words of another Christian, name unknown, If any belief or method hinders God s kingdom... we should dump it! YaHavah is our Creator and giver of life and light. His word and Spirit is YaHavah. The son of YaHavah is not YaHavah's word; he is YHVH s intention for the salvation of those who will love YaHavah with all their heart, soul, and mind.

30 5 HOW IS THE TRINITY FAILING CHRISTIANITY? Trinity Doctrine Public Domain drawing Who is the one in whom the Trinity exists? Briefly, the Trinity states that there are three Gods in one; God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. These three are believed to be three separate persons, yet all three together form one Supreme God, known as the Godhead. This is the Trinitarian answer to the Bible s one true God. Trinitarians agree that this is a mystery that cannot be understood or explained, although there are a multitude of attempts. The Trinity doctrine is a mystery because there are no references in the Bible that makes these distinctions: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Someone once said, if something is a mystery and has no discernable explanation, then give it a name. With the name in place, then figure out how the mystery works. Trinitarians did that by using the word God. Okay. Let s see how the Trinity works with the proper names associated with the persons of the Trinity. The New Testament (NT) is based on the Old Testament (OT) Scriptures that is the ancient record of the Israelites monotheistic belief in one Elohim. He is the Elohim of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. (Modern bibles substitute the title Elohim with the word God.) The Israelite title identifies the twelve tribes (sons and their descendants) of Jacob. According the Genesis 1:1, this same Elohim created the heavens and the earth. In the NT, the Spirit of this same Elohim caused the virgin conception of His Promised Son.

31 The reasoning of the Trinity is that the word Elohim is plural word. However, some plural words have two meanings; deference as one greater than all or plural for more than one. The Trinity doctrine uses the latter to say that more than one created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1) as one of many proof texts to show that Jesus existed before creation. Now we have a quandary. There is Elohim of creation, the Spirit who came over a virgin to father his Son, and the Son, all of whom believers are supposed to worship as God s. Three God s to worship is polytheistic. The mystery is, how can a monotheistic belief system make three gods into one? The Bible says Elohim is one, so in Trinitarian reasoning, Elohim, being a plural word, all three must be equal in power, knowledge, and ever-presence. This reasoning also implies that all must be of the same essence; conclusion, they are one in one godhead. It is all very strange reasoning, a bit like attempting to perfectly fit square blocks in round holes. Thus, the plurality of the word Elohim created a single Godhead consisting of three persons of whom believers may worship as one God and this is how the word God became a plural when it is not plural. We have a mystery since YHVH said in his first commandment, 3 You shall have no other Elohim (God) above me. (Exodus 20:3) That means YHVH is the only one to worship. No one is above or equal to YHVH. (Isaiah 46:5) Now, let s reexamine the word Elohim to find out where the Trinity reasoning went wrong, if you haven t already seen it. For the most part, the Hebrew epithet Elohim is a title of deference meaning one greater than many. Elohim appears in the OT 2,601 times 2,359 times in reference to YHVH, 240 times in reference to other gods, judges, or a mighty one, and 2 times in deference to believers as sons of Elohim. Based on the overall usage of Elohim in the Bible, it should be understood to be an epithet of deference. Idols of worship are referred to as other gods (elohim), in which case elohim is meant to be plural as more than one, not as one who is greater than many. When the word God is used in the Bible it should be understood as referring to Elohim and a title of deference for YHVH. It was Bible translators who substituted this meaningful epithet with the ambiguous word, God. Based on the original Hebrew Scriptures, the Father s proper name and title is YHVH Elohim. The word LORD in the OT is the translator s substitute for YHVH.

32 Let s work through the Trinity conundrum by replacing the word God with the Hebrew epithet Elohim or YHVH. For God the Father it will now be Elohim the Father, or YHVH the Father, or YHVH Elohim the Father. The Son s name is Jesus. We know that Jesus was conceived by YHVH to break the line of Adam and his sin passed on by every human father. Jesus did not marry or father any children. That would have defeated the reason he was born sinless. Anyone who comes to the Father through Jesus (belief in the whole truth of Jesus) will be adopted into the family of YHVH, thereby breaking that person s connection to Adam s sin. That person is said to be born again; which is to be anointed in the Spirit of YHVH for protection and the teaching of truth. We now have Jesus the Son, yet Psalm 45 gives Jesus has the distinction of being called Elohim by his Elohim, who is his Father. However, John recorded that Jesus said, 28 You have heard how I said to you, I go away, and come [again] to you. If you loved me, you would rejoice, because I said, I go to the Father: for my Father is greater than I. (John 14:28) If his Father is greater than Jesus, then Jesus is Elohim below his Father because Jesus is King of all kings in the Kingdom of YHVH, High Priest, and Judge. He deserves the title of Elohim because he is greater than all humans with human fathers, while YHVH Elohim is greater than all including his son, Jesus. Jesus is one with his Father in that he is totally obedient to his Father in the Spirit of his Father. So far the names and titles we have used for the Father and the Son are clearly stated in the Bible. We are left with one person, the Holy Spirit. Does the Holy Spirit have a name? The answer is yes; he does have a name. It may surprise you to learn that the name of the Holy Spirit is YHVH. Before you call me a heretic, you must understand that spirit is the true person of YHVH, angels, and humans. For humans, the spirit is the person housed inside the body of flesh and bone, a finite being. YHVH is an infinite being. YHVH made that clear when he created Adam and Eve and when he said to Jeremiah, Do I not fill heaven and earth? YHVH refers to the Spirit as My Spirit fourteen times in the whole Bible. YHVH spoke of himself as My Spirit in Proverbs 1:23 20 Wisdom cries without; uttering a loud voice in the streets: 21 crying out in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city utters these words, [saying], 22 how long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? And the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out My Spirit to you, I will make known my words to you.

33 Apostle John wrote in his Gospel (John 1:32-34) : 32 And John bares record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. 33 And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said to me, upon whom you shall see My Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizes with [My] Holy Spirit. 34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of YHVH. Another reference is made by John in 1John 5:6-8. I quote from the Word of YHVH Bible: 6 This is he that came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. Moreover, it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear witness in heaven, the Father, his word, and his Holy Spirit: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, His Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three are one. The three verses of 1John 5:6-8 have a cloud of controversy hovering over them because verse 7 is incorrectly claimed as proof text for the Trinity doctrine. There are many denominational understandings for these verses. The difficulty in understanding them makes it all the more important to rely on Bible context to interpret the meaning. Verse 6 of 1John 5 confirms that Jesus is the anointed Son of YHVH. He was conceived by the power of YHVH s Spirit (blood kinship to YHVH), was anointed (baptized in the water of YHVH s Spirit) and lived in the power of YHVH s Spirit (he spoke and acted on the commands of his Father), was resurrected by the power of YHVH s Spirit, and then ascended to be glorified in heaven. YHVH s Spirit manifested to the disciples on the Day of Pentecost as promised. That baptism was in the seven eyes of YHVH s Spirit called the seven spirits of YHVH (Rev. 5:6); not as entities, but as aspects of YHVH. They are the spirit (aspect) of wisdom, the spirit (aspect) of understanding, the spirit (aspect) of counsel, the spirit (aspect) of strength, the spirit (aspect) of knowledge, the spirit (aspect) of the fear of YHVH. These six are of the Spirit of YHVH and are guaranteed to bare the fruit of the Kingdom of YHVH nature in love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, humility, and self-control. More on the seven spirits in Chapter 5. Verse 7 of 1John 5 confirms that YHVH s word is literally his spoken word and his Spirit is literally his omnipresent person. YHVH asked the prophet Jeremiah, 23 [Am] I Elohim at hand, said YHVH, and not Elohim afar off? 24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? Said YHVH. Do

34 I not fill heaven and earth? Said YHVH. (Jer. 23:23-24) How can YHVH do this if not by his own omnipresent Spirit? In other words, Father, his Spirit, and his spoken words are all one inseparable package. Warning! Any doctrine that attempts to separate YHVH from his own Spirit is against YHVH. If against YHVH then also against Jesus and against Christianity. The Father is YHVH who spoke all into creation by the power of his omnipotent and omnipresent Spirit (Remember, He fills heaven and earth Jeremiah). His spoken word promised the birth of his Son, Jesus, and made it so at Jesus appointed time. Verse 8 of 1John 5 confirms the witness of Father s presence on earth by the pouring out of his Spirit anointing (water as rain) and YHVH s kinship (bloodline) to Jesus. The manifestation of YHVH blood kinship to Jesus and Spirit anointing cannot be separated from YHVH, they are a package deal. Is the water that of water baptism or of Spirit baptism? Is the blood that of the sacrifice of Christ or of kinship? The Greek word hudatos coming from the root huetos and translated to water, literally means rain or shower. The imagery is consistent with OT prophecies concerning the outpouring of His Spirit in the latter times and with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Water (hudatos) is a double witness for Jesus anointing in the Spirit of YHVH (Isaiah 11:1-2) at the start of his ministry and the outpouring of the Spirit of YHVH after Jesus ascended into heaven to be glorified. (Revelation 5:6) The Greek word haima implies bloodshed or kindred, but is usually translated to blood. Its derivation is uncertain. All of these Bible references show the context of 1John 5:6-8 to be testimony for Jesus being the son of YHVH, therefore the witness of blood is the kinship of Father and Son, which in turn makes the Son free of the sin of Adam and worthy to die for our salvation. The blood then, doubles the power of the witness. An Open Door to Evil This too is reason for testing doctrine. In conclusion to this test of naming the Father, Son, and Spirit, I believe the Bible is very clear that there are not three separate persons but two; YHVH Elohim and his son Jesus Christ. There can be no other conclusion for the

35 Spirit than that he is not a third separate person, but the omnipresent, omnipotent, and omniscient person of YHVH. Jesus is his human birth son in whom he is well pleased and through whom all true believers receive the abiding presence and teaching of the Spirit of YHVH. (More on the humanity of Jesus in Chapter 6) Father and Son rule creation together by the omnipresence, omnipotence, and omniscience of YHVH our Elohim and creator. There is only one conclusion for the Trinity failing Christianity; the holy spirit being separated as a third person opened the door for Satan to come into the churches as a false holy spirit. Every church that has people behaving like persons taking part in a hypnotist s lounge performance is under the influence of a false holy spirit. Andrew Strom, author of Kundalini Warning Are False Spirits Invading the Church shows the dangers of allowing these strange manifestations to occur. Kundalini is the Hindu yogic theory, of a primal energy, or Shakti, located at the base of the spine. Different spiritual traditions teach methods of "awakening" kundalini for the purpose of reaching spiritual enlightenment. It is the awakening of supposed self-spiritual enlightenment. It is not from the Spirit of YHVH. You can view a video of this at I experienced some of these manifestations back in the early 1990 s. In my opinion, this phenomenon gains strength among the churches because the people have a strong desire to take part in what they believe to be the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Be very careful. The Holy Spirit is not a lounge act. I checked Andrew Strom s published tenets of faith. Mr. Strom professes the Trinity doctrine. It is perplexing to me that he has not made the connection between the false holy spirit of Kundalini and the Trinity doctrine. The demonic principalities of this world is growing stronger day by day in every arena. The reason believers are not experiencing true revival and lasting healing and Spirit presence 24/7/365 is that they are under the influence of a false holy spirit. The reason more and more people are leaving the churches is because they are being deceived by a false holy spirit.

36 The reason more and more people are turning to other spirituality is the growing influence of a false holy spirit. The reason more and more people and law makers are turning a blind eye to the sin of LGBT is the growing influence of a false holy spirit. LGBT stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. LGBT is more than the sodomy that caused YHVH to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Before YHVH destroyed those two cities, two angels came to Abraham, who was Lot s relative. Abraham pleaded for the cities where Lot lived. He pleaded if 50 righteous men could be found would YHVH save the cities. YHVH agreed if 50 were found he would save the cities. Then Abraham pressed the issue and lowered the number to 45, then 30, then 20, then 10. YHVH agreed to save the cities for a few as 20 but not for 10. Being only four Lot, his wife and two daughters were removed from the city before it was destroyed. Noah s family counted eight at the time of the Great Flood. The point is that if the people of those cities had had a change of heart to love YHVH with all their heart, mind, and soul as his commandments require, he would not have destroyed the city. The question is, how many changed hearts would it take to prevent the destruction of this sinful earth? Grace through Jesus Christ was given for those who will love YHVH with all their heart, mind, and soul, but all who will not will be given over to their depravity and in the end will be destroyed. When that knowledge sunk in, I began testing what my parents taught me about God... don t say God and don t talk about the Bible or God. My heart broke into a million pieces because I knew my parents were not saved when they passed. If the people will listen to the Spirit and love YHVH with all their heart, mind, and soul they will be saved, no matter what they did before that moment. Even so, that decision must be guarded from the enemy the enchanter or he will steal it. Mark 4:13-23 Parable of the Sower and the Seed 13 And he said to them, Know you not this parable? And how then will you know all parables? 14 The sower sowed the word. 15 And these are they by the way side, where the word is sown; but when they have heard, Satan comes immediately, and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts. 16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 and have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution arises for the words sake, immediately they are offended. 18 And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, 19 and the cares of this

37 world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. 20 And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive [it], and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. 21 And he said to them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? And not to be set on a candlestick? 22 For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was anything kept secret, but that it should come to be known. 23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. The Trinity s false holy spirit is the enchanter of Genesis; the fallen angel who deceived one third of heaven s angels to turn against YHVH. It is Satan who is behind the many denominations and false doctrines of Christianity and all of the other religions of the world who have gone their own way in believing who the Creator is or is not. The Four Main Alternative Views of God are: Trinitarianism This is the traditional view stating that there are three persons in the Godhead. Essentially, three uncreated coequal Gods in one Godhead, termed as Three Who's in One What. They believe this latecomer doctrine is the foundation of Christianity. (Adopted in the 4th century by the Catholic Church and later by most Protestant Churches) Binitarianism This view reduced three down to two eternal members of one Elohim family with Jesus being known only as the Word before his birth. (Worldwide Church of God and offshoots Oneness Pentecostals Arianism and some in Church of God Seventh Day) This view is one God manifested in three persons. Jesus is the incarnation of God, making him Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, termed as Three What's in One Who. This view was condemned as Sabellianism or Modalism by the Trinitarians. (My notation: Incarnating a God into human form is in the realm of Greek mythology.) This view believes God is uncreated and eternal but Jesus was created just before the creation of Genesis 1 and previously known as the archangel Michael. (Jehovah's Witness) True Arianism is based on the teachings of Arius from the fourth century. Arius believed that Jesus was neither a god nor the birth son of YHVH. The Church pronounced him a heretic because he opposed the Trinity Doctrine. Constantine made it his life s work to wipe out any who went against the doctrines of the Church. As you can see by the

38 above description of Arianism, even different positions of belief can be misinterpreted. Jesus is called the Son of YHVH because he did not have a human father. The exception of his human birth is that he was conceived and born without the sin of Adam on his soul. [Adam s sin is passed on to all humankind by human fathers.] Jesus was human because he had to be human to eventually die on the cross for the sins of mankind as the perfect and sinless lamb of YaHavah. Jesus is called the Son of Man, not because he was conceived by a human father, but because he was conceived and born from the womb of his human mother. To say Jesus is not God is not in itself Arianism. To say Jesus is not the birth Son of God is Arianism. (Quoted from the Glossary of Bible Terms In the end, we must depend solely on what the Bible and YHVH says about his Spirit and his relationship with the human spirit. But first, in order to understand the relationship and unity between the Spirit of YHVH, the seven Spirits, and believing humans, we must establish an understanding of the word, spirit. The word has several applications, two of which are noted here and best fit Bible context: Spirit is the intrinsic or essential qualities of somebody or something. (Encarta Dictionary) Spirit, as in soul, is the vital force that characterizes a human being as being alive. (Encarta Dictionary) The Holy Spirit anointing comes bearing the essential qualities of the seven spirits to ensure a strong and effective personal relationship with Father and Son. YHVH uses the seven spirits to teach believers how to live and walk in the power of his Spirit within the Kingdom of YaHavah. The latter definition applies to the Spirit of YHVH and human creation in his likeness as spirit beings. The Hebrew word for spirit is ruach, meaning breath. The Greek word for spirit is pneuma, also meaning breath and often referred to as the breath of life. Spirit is the breath of life. YHVH s ownership of the breath of life is implied by Job: 10 in whose hand [is] the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. (Job 12:10)

39 The breath of life was in the process of creation: The Spirit [breath] of YHVH Elohim moved upon the face of the waters. (Genesis 1:2) The breath of life was in the creation of Adam: 27 so Elohim created man [in his] image, in the image of Elohim created he him; male and female created he them. (Genesis 1:27) The breath of life at the time of the Great Flood: 17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein [is] the breath of life, from under heaven; [and] everything that [is] in the earth shall die. (Genesis 6:17) Atheism and Agnosticism Phil Zuckerman, PhD of Secular Life, reports Various selected countries, according to the Oxford Handbook, with the highest percentages of nonbelievers, include: Czech Republic 55% atheist/agnostic (actual number: 4,649,620) France 41% (19,965,630) Sweden 39% (2,800,152) Germany 36% (24,564,226) Netherlands 34% (4,303,110) Belgium 34% (2,857,053) Denmark 32% (1,369,512) Norway 32% (1.146,464) United Kingdom 30% (14,579,992) South Korea 28% (10,419,885) New Zealand 28% (866,000) Finland 28% (1,172,404) Japan 28% (29,766,356) Hungary 27% (2,254,556) Australia 26% (5,058,772 Spain 21% (7,633,561) China 17.9% (234,595,000) Russia 17% (18,971,229) Taiwan 15% (2,665,188) Uruguay 14% (232,018) Italy 13% (6,648,003) Israel 11% (524,780) Ireland 10% (369,949) United States 8% (18,625,556) Mexico 6% (3,685,552)

40 India 2.5% (27,691,000) (Quoted from Witchcraft and Wiccan 1972: John Godwin estimated in "Occult America" that "there were at least 20,000 organized members in this country." 1999: The Witches' Voice is one of the largest and most professional Wiccan web sites. In their press kit, they comment on the numbers of Witches, Wiccans and pagans: "No one knows for sure but we do know that the number is increasing rapidly. Our best estimate here at The Witches' Voice is about 1 million in the U.S. and 3 million worldwide." (Estimates for 1972 and 1999 are quoted from Breaking Satan s Hold Has the Trinity Doctrine failed Christianity? You bet it has, in fact, it gives strength to Satan in many other areas besides Christianity. Bite the bullet; erase every statement of faith concerning the Trinity Doctrine. Denounce it with conviction. That is the only way the true Holy Spirit will come to the churches. YHVH will not share his mountain with any other god or elohim. Jesus told his disciples they could command the mountain to be thrown into the sea. I believe he was referring to Satan s hold on the people who want to believe in YHVH but hold tight to false doctrine. As long as the Trinity Doctrine is held in high esteem as the foundation of Christianity, Satan will remain king of the mountain. Matthew 21: Jesus answered and said to them, In truth, I say to you, if you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this [which is done] to the fig tree, but also if you shall say to this mountain, be you removed, and be you cast into the sea; it shall be done. 22 And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive. The choice is yours and so are the blessings or consequences of your choices.

41 6 HOW HAS THE WORD GOD FAILED CHRISTIANITY? The Problem Too Many Concepts of God Are they willing to hear the answer? Courtesy Shutterstock.com Who is God, really? How can anyone answer this question when there are so many different concepts of the term God? Every religion has their own concept and a multitude of denominations within Christianity have different concepts. The overlapping and intermingling of the many concepts of God has created a challenge of prodigious magnitude. Does Jesus condone such behavior? Did his Father ever condone such behavior? There is a conspiracy that we are warned of in the Bible, not under the word conspiracy, but as a warning against the sly deceit of Satan. Satan conspired to deceive one third of the angels of heaven and succeeded. Does anyone think he is not conspiring to deceive the whole human race? For this reason, the spirit of all doctrines must be tested by the Bible and Spirit to see if they are from YHVH, or that deceiver called Satan. Satan and his demons are very real and he does have a devious plot in place for the destruction of faith in YHVH and Jesus, though it may not appear as such, for appearances are not always as they seem. Satan s plan is

42 encompassed in the old adage, a house divided will fall, but YHVH has his own plan of action in and through Jesus Christ. Matthew 12: Then was brought to him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spoke and saw. 23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? 24 But when the Pharisees heard [it], they said, This [fellow] does not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. 25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: 26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? 27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast [them] out? Therefore, they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of YHVH, then the kingdom of YHVH is come to you, 29 or else how can one enter into a strong man s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. 30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathers not with me scatters abroad. Was the Great Reformation of the 16th century everything it appeared to be? What most Christians today do not realize is that in the Protestant Reformation, many Catholic beliefs and traditions were taken with the reformers who remodeled them to fit their new protestant positions then added more, many of which concern the return of Christ. Now we are heavily burdened with questions about whether his return is premillennial or postmillennial. Is there a millennium or not? If there will be a thousand-year reign of Christ, when will it come? Is the resurrection of the dead and living at the beginning of the last seven years of Daniel s prophecy, in the middle, or at the end, or even still, will it be at the end of the millennium? Will there be a secret rapture of true believers before the last seven years begin? Do you get the drift? It s like an ever expanding blob of dough with too much yeast. Even today, people move from one religion or denomination to another taking some of the beliefs of the former with them. Given the opportunity, those beliefs will get integrated into their current place of worship. Who are they really worshipping? Getting Down to the Real Problem On the face of it, false doctrine appears to be the greatest problem in the Christian Faith. An abundance of evidence is on the internet. There are

43 numerous websites whose owners claim to be watchmen of the faith who expose every false doctrine and false prophet they can find. I have yet to find even one of these watchmen who do not have at least one false doctrine in their own tenets of faith and it is usually the Trinity doctrine. False doctrine is generally borne out of the practice of lifting Bible verses out of context and then using them for proof texting the false doctrine. Proof texting is the method by which a person appeals to a biblical text to prove or justify a theological position without regard for the context of the passage they are citing. As the saying goes, a text without a context is a pretext for a proof text. ( In order to set the false doctrine in place, the interpretation of the Bible verses are explained outside the parameters of Bible context. This is called eisegesis, meaning to read into the text or outside in. Explanation within the parameters of Bible context is called exegesis, or inside out. False doctrine is a mammoth problem. The word God used in translations of the Old Testament (OT) and New Testament (NT) is a major facilitator of false doctrine and proof texting. Most false doctrines depend heavily on the term God. God is a title. Titles cannot stand alone; they must have a name attached in order to know to whom the title belongs. The title of God has too many names associated with it. It is an open ended word it is ambiguous. Up to the time of my rebirth in the baptism of Jesus Christ, I thought God was the name of our Creator. As a child, I got mixed messages about God and Jesus. On the one hand God and Jesus Christ were swear words, well; my father did use God and Jesus a lot in his conversations, but not in a Biblical sense. In those days, God s Ten Commandments were posted on the walls of the schools. Imagine the confusion in my limited child s understanding knowing that the Ten Commandments, Christmas, and Easter was about God and Jesus, yet, I was not permitted to say God and Jesus because they were also swearing words. Parents should never burden their children with such contradictions. In my old age, I have come to the conclusion that most Christians have never heard God s true name from scholars and preachers or they have never discovered it for themselves, although it is being used more, of late. Thirty years ago, I knew some who thought YHVH was associated with Jehovah s Witness, so they shied away from trying to understand it. There are other groups who have brought shame to the name of YHVH, too.

44 In The Beginning The Book of Genesis opens with our Creator s title of deference in Genesis 1:1 In the beginning Elohim created the heaven and the earth. We are told immediately that one Supreme Being created the heaven and the earth. We know this with certainty because his personal name and title of deference are mentioned together in Genesis 2:4 These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that YHVH Elohim made the earth and the heavens There is only one YHVH Elohim and it is he alone who created the heavens and earth, as we know them. What a shame that 2,000 years of Christianity has been kept ignorant about that name. Bible translators chose to substitute the word God for the Hebrew word Elohim, which does it no justice at all. There are no Bible knowledge constraints in the word God, while the title of Elohim does provide constraining parameters for determining its intended level of deference. The top level belongs to YHVH who created all, the next level belongs to Jesus, the only begotten son of YHVH. Even the President of the United States is elohim in the true sense of the word as an epithet of deference. The President is the top leader of this great nation. We cannot discuss the meaning of Elohim without discussing the common belief that Jesus is also God. There are so many doctrines developed around the word God that discussion and references look like bird tracks on damp soil. But there are patterns and parameters to bring us out of the confusion. Remember, Satan revels in confusion. Knowledge of Bible parameters is the safety line that keeps us out of Satan s traps. Psalm 45, as discussed earlier, is one example of the contextual levels of deference for YHVH and his son, Jesus. Compare the KJV substitution of God for the original Hebrew Elohim with the WYB restored title. Psalm 45:6-8 (KJV) 6 Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever: the scepter of thy kingdom is a right scepter. 7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore, God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. 8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad. Psalm 45:6-8 (WYB) 6 Your throne, O Elohim, [is] forever and ever: the scepter of your kingdom [is] a right scepter. 7 You love righteousness, and hate wickedness: therefore, Elohim, your Elohim, has anointed you with the oil of rejoicing above your fellows. 8 All your

45 garments [smell] of myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made you glad. Psalm 45 would appear to be contradictory, however, the seeming contradiction is explained by the word anointed in verse 7 and the fact that Jesus is the prophesied anointed one. The Bible teaches us that there is no other YHVH Elohim, but it also teaches us that YHVH has a son called Jesus Christ. The title of Christ (NT) and Messiah (OT) means anointed. Who was David referring to when he wrote the words of Psalm 45? Psalm 45 speaks volumes in just a few lines. The imagery presented is about the son of YHVH, who he is in the eyes of YHVH, who he is to the world for the salvation of all who love Father and Son, and YHVH s throne. Solomon wrote in 1Kings 8:28 YHVH Elohim of Israel, [there is] no Elohim like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keeps covenant and mercy with your servants that walk before you with all their heart. Naaman proclaimed in 2Kings 5:15 Behold, now I know that [there is] no Elohim in all the earth, but in Israel. In Psalm 14:1 The fool has said in his heart, [There is] no Elohim. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, [there is] none that does good. It is believed by some that Jesus is equal in power and knowledge with his father. Yet, if he owned the same power as his father, he would not be called the anointed one or Immanuel. As the only begotten son of YHVH and a descendant of Israel s King David, Jesus birthright is to be the King of all kings, the High Priest above all priests, Prophet above all prophets, and to establish the temple (house) of YHVH bearing the name of YHVH, forever. (2Samuel 7:12-16) Jesus, during his ministry on earth, was the ultimate prophet in that his every thought was from YHVH and every word he spoke was from the mouth of YHVH. Satan tempted Jesus, but the anointing of the Spirit of YHVH within him overcame every temptation. The Anointing Dictionaries define the word Christian as a follower of Christ. But consider this; Christ means anointed. Doesn t it make sense that Christian means one who is anointed (in the same Spirit as Jesus)? After all, to be anointed is to have the presence of YHVH in one s life, choices, and decisions. It is the same as Immanuel which means YHVH with us. The anointing is to have YHVH s presence by his omnipresent Spirit; which includes his wisdom, counsel,

46 knowledge, understanding, strength, and the fear of YHVH, aka, the seven spirits of YHVH. These are the characteristics of his Spirit by which he teaches and watches over his own. (Isaiah 11:1-2) The Spirit anointing will leave or never come if a person s heart is not wholly for YHVH and Jesus, aka, Father and Son. The failures of past kings and judges whose hearts changed to self and other gods are proof that YHVH will not share his temple or mountain with any other gods. Jesus anointing has never left him; it is forever and he rules YHVH s creation with that anointing. The Anointing Does Not Make a God Psalm 82 is often used by persons who believe they can attain the status of gods. I dealt with this in another book but it is worth repeating because of the idea of a divine council in heaven and the doctrine that believers of Jesus Christ can progress into becoming gods themselves. This concept comes from ancient mythology. At some point in developing the structure of Mormonism, these ideologies were adopted into their doctrine. From there, it has bled over into other so-called Christian doctrine and other denominations. Compare Psalm 82 in the KJV and WYB. Psalm 82 (KJV) 1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. 2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. 3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. 5 They know not; neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. 7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations. Psalm 82 (WYB) 1 Elohim stands in the congregation of the great; he judges among magistrates. 2 How long will you defend iniquity, and accept the persons of wickedness? Selah. 3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid [them] out of the hand of the wicked. 5 They know not; neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. 6 I appoint you [as] judges and all of you [are] children of the most High, 7 nevertheless, you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 8 Arise, O Elohim, judge the earth: for you shall inherit all nations.

47 In verse 1, it must be remembered that Elohim is ever present in all of his creation, especially among his chosen. In verse 2, the writer questions leaders as to why they are complacent toward iniquity in their midst. In verse 6, the Hebrew word elohim was translated to gods, when the context meant judges. Can you see how the term God could cause an interpretation problem? John quoted Psalm 82 in his report of Jesus response to his accusers. (John 10:34-38) Many Christians use Psalm 82 and Jesus reference to it in the literal sense of humans being or becoming gods. As stated previously, the Hebrew word Elohim is used for many levels of deference. For YHVH it means one Supreme Being over all. For Jesus, it carries the next level of deference in leadership because he cannot be above or equal to his Father. For humans, elohim means, judge or magistrate, or any other form of human leadership. YHVH appoints human judges and magistrates. Psalm 82:6 states, 6 I appoint you [as] judges and all of you [are] children of the most High. The context of Psalm 82 is YHVH s condemnation of the complacency of leaders (judges and magistrates) toward iniquity. The Psalm states they will be judged as they have judged. Jesus reference in John 10:34-35 addresses the fact that he was being accused of blasphemy for claiming to be the Son of YHVH. Jesus spoke the truth. Those who accused him will be judged in the end for their error in judgment. The people of the United States will be judged by the leader s errors in judgment. The Ripple Effect Is More Like Undertow Periods of Church and World Change Studies have shown that about every 500 years there are major world cultural and economic changes. World change can be viewed from two major perspectives reformation and spiritual awakenings. Author Phyllis Tickle is a well-known researcher of Church history. She states in her book Emergence Christianity: What it is, Where it is Going and Why it Matters Every five hundred years, give or take a decade or two, Western culture, along with those parts of the world that have been colonized or colonialized by it, goes through a time of enormous upheaval, a time in which essentially every part of it is reconfigured. (Tickle, Phyllis ( ). Emergence Christianity: What It Is, Where It Is Going, and Why It Matters (Kindle Locations ). Baker Publishing Group. Kindle Edition)

48 Phyllis Tickle looks at major world reformations in history to the first century that brought, 1) the Great Transformation (by the birth of Jesus Christ), 2) the next 500 years brought the Great Decline and the fall of the Roman Empire, 3) then the world fell into the Dark Ages for about five hundred years, 4) the next five hundred years in the 16th century, brought the Great Reformation by Protestantism. We are now in the 21st century and another five hundred years of change for the Church and the world. Any major changes in the Church will cause major changes throughout the world. Will this be the last five hundred years? By what name will these changes in the Church, politics, and economics be called? Perhaps the Great Transformation II would be appropriate, since we have a tremendous need for a repeat 1st century Church mind-set and are over 2,000 years closer to the return of Christ. The History of Revivals of Religion by William E. Allen in only 82 pages covers every period of Church revival and growth from the 1st century to the date of publishing in So far, we have learned that countless false doctrines are the result of the indistinct substitutions of the Hebrew name YaHavah and his title of deference Elohim in the OT. In the NT, the Greek term for our Creator is Theos also translated to God for a double violation of YaHavah s third commandment. What caused the name of YaHavah to be either too holy to pronounce or forgotten entirely? It was during the forty-year wilderness journey that Moses was inspired by YHVH to write the first five books of the Bible. Moses recorded the correct name and title of deference for our Creator beginning in Genesis. YHVH was not known by that name until Israel s exodus out of Egypt (AM 2669) 2,669 years after Adam. Exodus 6:2-3 2 And Elohim spoke to Moses, and said to him, I [am] YHVH. 3 And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by El Almighty, but by my name YHVH I was not known to them. He was known by El Almighty from the time of Adam to the Exodus of Israel. The Israelites knew him as YHVH for forty years before they entered the promised land of Canaan. (AM 2709) Is the Church in a wilderness journey now? Will they accept the singular God named YaHavah? Will they accept that Jesus is not equal to his Father? Will

49 they accept the name and title YaHavah Elohim in place of the words LORD God before the return of Christ and entrance into a new era? There have always been issues concerning the knowledge of El Almighty from the beginning. Satan does not want anyone to have knowledge of our Creator or his name. More than 2,000 years of oppression and captivity of the twelve tribes of Israel had taken the name of YaHavah from the lips of his own. The oppression set in place by Satan has not lifted or lightened its burden for an additional 2,000 years to this date of 2016 AD. (6397AM) In the first century AD, the name of YaHavah was discouraged by Roman rule and before that it was the Medes, Persians, and Greeks. Did the writers of the gospels and epistles of the NT fear the Romans more than YaHavah? We will never know, nor does it make any difference now. What we do from this point on is a matter of obedience or disobedience to YaHavah. Do we say the name YaHavah boldly for all to hear, or allow the ignorance of others to intimidate? Now that we know more about YaHavah and Jesus, it should be obvious that the KJV and traditional versions use ambiguous translations for the specific name of our Creator, YaHävah our Elohim. There are a few versions besides my own Word of YHVH Bible that use YHVH and Elohim. As yet, I have not read any of those versions; until I do, I cannot testify for or against them, nor can anyone testify for or against my Word of YHVH Bible until they read it through. See the Ripple in Action I subscribe to Charisma News Magazine by . The articles in this magazine report on how Christianity is changing. The transgender fiasco is hot news. The following excerpt from a recent Charisma News report is titled Meet the 'Radical' Baptist Transgender Preacher Who Talks to Angels. He's known in MSNBC ranks as "the most radical preacher in America." But it's not the message that makes him radical. Rather, it's the messenger himself. Allyson Dylan Robinson is the first openly transgender ordained in the Baptist church. Donning long red hair and thick-rimmed glasses, he told the Alliance of Baptists he was a "white, straight, lower/upper middle class, European-descended man" when he first arrived at Baylor University's George W. Truett Theological Seminary. As Robinson tells the story, he prayed for 30 years that God would change him and even tried deliverance ministry to find freedom. But God did not answer his prayers. "I have known my entire life that the

50 world was wrong about me, that on the day I was born, when the doctor took a cursory glance between my legs and authoritatively declared 'It's a boy,' he was wrong dead wrong," Robinson said. Robinson admits he was so miserable at one point that he contemplated suicide and concludes that "an angel of the Lord" named "Reason" kept him from taking the plunge into death. "What if God hasn't fixed you because you're not broken?" an inner voice asked. "That can't be true," he protested. "The Bible says I'm broken." "What if the Bible is wrong? What if you've been reading it wrong?" "I don't know," he said. (Quoted from Charisma News/opinion/Article by Jennifer LeClaire, Watchman on the Wall, 4/19/2016 also quoted from It is disturbing to hear an increasing number of stories like this. Robinson was born a boy. Can even a million years of prayer to God cause God to change the gender given him? Robinson chose to be ordained in the Baptist Church. He was likely raised Baptist. Baptists are staunch Trinitarians, as are most organized denominations. Was Robinson s prayer to the one true God of the Bible or the triune God of the Trinity? Please understand that I am not condemning or maligning anyone connected with these citations. They are victims of a spreading deceit. Christianity is being condemned and maligned by the ignorance, gullibility, naiveté of non- Christians and improperly taught Christians. Satan is a master con artist. He knows all the right questions that will cause a person to doubt the truth. Once the doubt takes root, then human reasoning creates acceptable reasons to believe the lie. It is not an angel called Reason. Look what happened to Adam. YHVH told him he would die if he ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Satan said, Surely, you shall not die. 5 For Elohim knows that in the day you eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and you shall be as Elohim, knowing good and evil. First Satan created doubt, then he lied in saying Elohim knows good and evil. There is no evil in YHVH s righteousness; if there were, Adam would have been created with the knowledge of good and evil in YHVH s likeness. Satan s seed of doubt took root when Adam saw that Eve did not drop dead when she ate the forbidden fruit. Physical death means nothing to YHVH. The spirit is the life of the person. Adam suffered spiritual death by separation from YHVH because he disobeyed YHVH s command. He did not trust the truth nor did he use it to beat Satan.

51 Robinson did not trust the truth and reasoned that all he had been taught about the Bible was folklore and fairy tales to be discarded. What disturbs me the most is LeClaire s closing statements: It always grieves me to hear stories like Robinson's. It grieves me all the more, though, to see denominations embracing a strong delusion that could convince compassionate Christians to adopt a theology that condones sin and deceives many in the process. I'm praying for one of the transgender movement's poster children to get radically saved and expose the lies and darkness that drove them out of God's perfect will. Will you pray with me? Jennifer LeClaire is a Trinitarian and all of the Christian organizations she belongs to are Trinitarian. Isn t the Trinity Doctrine a delusion? Does she think the false Trinity God and Holy Spirit will answer her prayer any quicker than Robinson s prayer? Let me remind you and keep reminding you, that Satan uses the Trinity doctrine as a means of stealing the throne of YHVH in the hearts of all who believe that doctrine. He created a separate God the Father person and God the Spirit person in the minds of those who believe in Jesus so a false Holy Spirit (Satan himself) could gain control. Satan is, after all, the enchanter of Genesis. Bible translators chose serpent, but enchanter is a better choice. Strong s Bible Dictionary shows two references for the Hebrew word naĉhaŝh. The earlier of the two defines the word as to hiss or whisper an enchantment, thus, enchanter. The later definition defines the word by the hiss as from a snake. When I was 10 years old, my father worked as a lumberjack for a small lumber mill near Grants Pass, Oregon. There was a run-down log house below the mill. A murder-suicide occurred there many years before. Half of the walls were gone leaving its hard wood floors exposed to the elements. It must have been a lovely house in its day. Papa replaced the exterior walls for the dining room and kitchen. He built new cabinets for the kitchen and repaired the damage in the bedrooms. The cracks between the logs in the living room wall needed to be sealed, so he covered them on the inside with tar-paper. (Tarpaper was commonly used for insulation purposes in those days (1949)). One day I was sitting on the sofa against that wall. I heard an odd sound from behind me and when I turned I was met face to face with a snake (common garden variety) waving its forked tongue at me and hissing. The snake had worked its way up the wall behind the paper until it found a hole, behind me.

52 When I first read Strong s definition of naĉhaŝh, the image of that snake so many years before rushed to my memory. Satan may behave like a snake in the grass, but the naĉhaŝh image of Satan is a dark figure in the shadows of an unsuspecting person's thoughts, while whispering his enchantments. Satan has deceived billions of people into believing in religious gods that do not exist. He has substituted himself into what people believe about God in every religion to keep them from the truth of YHVH. YHVH Elohim of the Judeo/Christian Bible is the one and only Creator and the only true God (Elohim). The answer to the leading question for this chapter is The word God and all it stands for to all people has miserably failed Christianity for nearly 2,000 years. What Do We Do Now? Some Serious Housecleaning Ahead What people believe about multiple gods in the act of creation and of angels choosing to become human to marry the beautiful women of Cain in the first six chapters of Genesis is enough to cause sane persons to throw up their hands in frustration. There is a large confusing, contradictive, and illogical variety of conjectural doctrine. The many layers of mythology and tradition imposed upon the truth of the Book of Genesis for thousands of years is heart breaking. I hope and pray that I am not the only one who feels this way. To illustrate my meaning, I like to house hunt online. The curb appeal of a house is just as important as the interior. Some houses could win the Good Housekeeping seal of excellence inside and out, and others are so cluttered and ill kept that I quickly move on. However, we cannot do that with the Bible and the doctrines we live by as Christians. Conjecture creates a lot of clutter that hides the beauty of the truth. My appeal to my readers is to strive for excellence and do some house cleaning to reveal the simple beauty of our Genesis; after all, it belongs to us, and our Creator expects us to care for it like a well-kept house with a beautifully manicured landscape and well-kept interior. Christians also have a language barrier. The same word with different understandings is no different than two people trying to communicate in two different languages. For instance, when Trinitarians read God or Elohim, they

53 think one God in three persons. They only see the plurality of Elohim rather than deference to one person, even the majority have never heard the word Elohim. Most Christians only know what they are taught and see no reason to question it; Trinitarians are taught to see God as a plural three in one. When I say God (meaning one), they could be shaking their head yes in agreement thinking one (godhead) and not know their understanding is really in disagreement. From this Time Forward Ephesians 4:14-16 that we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [and] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [even] Christ: 16 from whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplies, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, makes increase of the body to the edifying of itself in love.

54 7 HOW HAVE BELIEVERS OF CHRIST FAILED JESUS? Four Faces of Ezekiel's Four Living Creatures Questions and More Questions In my discussion on how the Trinity has failed Christianity, I touched on the question Is Jesus God? I would be remiss if I did not go deeper into that question. The doctrine of Jesus being an incarnated God is like a metastasized cancer. False doctrines attached to the topics associated with Jesus being a God and incarnated just continue to metastasize. In order for Christianity to heal, the cancers must be extricated. There are too many doctrines attached to Jesus being called God to mention all of them. Instead, I will let a few questions cover the whole gamut. 1. Is Jesus the Word of God? 2. Is Jesus the Creator? 3. Did Jesus exist before creation? 4. Is Jesus an incarnated god? 5. Did the circumstances of Jesus birth and his anointing make him a God? 6. Is Jesus God, human, or both?

55 I think the first three questions can be explored together. The doctrine that says Jesus is the Word and was with YHVH in the act of creation began with the plural understanding of the title of Elohim used in Genesis 1:1-5. That understanding greatly affected the interpretation and translation of how John expressed his understanding of Genesis 1:1-5 in John 1:1-5 and in 1John 5:1-5. As you know, John wrote one of the four gospels, three epistles, and the Revelation of Jesus Christ. John was greatly favored by Jesus. If Jesus greatly favored John, then YaHavah also favored him. I believe John had a deep comprehension of what Jesus taught the disciples about his Father and His Spirit. In the first five verses of the Gospel of John, he states the same thing that Moses stated in Genesis 1:1-5. His words express great depth and love for his Creator. Unfortunately, strange doctrines colored the translation of his words to say something they were not intended to say. Compare the KJV verses with the WYB verses. The KJV capitalizes Word to suggest the verses are speaking of Jesus. This was done to accommodate the Trinity doctrine. However, John actually stressed the point that the word was YHVH. Jesus is not YHVH, so the verses could not be about Jesus. The first disciples did not have a Trinitarian mind-set. They were Jews and I am certain that Jesus taught them about the Hebrew name of his Father, even though they may have continued to hold it in holiness. John 1:1-5 (KJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. John 1:1-5 (WYB) 1 In the beginning was the word, and the word was with YHVH Elohim, and the word was YHVH. 2 The same was in the beginning within YHVH. 3 All things were made by reason of him and without him was not anything made that was made. 4 In him is life; and his life is the light of men. 5 And his light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. The Greek NT uses Theos in reference to YHVH instead of the Hebrew YHVH. The Greek also uses kurios to reference YHVH in quotes from the OT. Kurios is translated to Lord. Kurios has two applications; one to supremacy and one to respect, such as the titles Sir or Mister. Translators do not always make that differentiation. Kurios as supremacy often is intended for YHVH when OT

56 scriptures are noted; however, it is most often used as a title of respect for Jesus. It requires careful consideration of its use to determine the intention. Kurios is not used in John 1:1-5, so we can eliminate the possibility of Jesus being the intended person of subject. In just a few words, John tells the awesome story of how YaHavah spoke creation into being. The Greek words zoe translated to life and phos, then again translated to light, give verses 4 and 5 a very definitive meaning; the life of a person is in the spirit. YaHavah s Spirit is the life of YaHavah and more; it is light in the darkness, thus John 1:4-5 express YaHavah s life and light as he fills heaven and earth. Below I ve paraphrased the verses. They are similar but with a bit more explanation. John 1:1-5 paraphrased: In the beginning was the word, and the word was with YaHavah Elohim, and the word was YaHavah. 2 His word was in the beginning within YaHavah. 3 All things were made by reason of YaHavah and without YaHavah was not anything made that was made. 4 In YaHavah is his Spirit; and his Spirit is the light of men. 5 And the light of his Spirit shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. Now compare Genesis 1:1-5 in the KJV and WYB Bibles. Notice how both John 1:1 and Genesis 1:1 open with in the beginning. Genesis 1:1-5 (KJV) 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Genesis 1:1-5 (WYB) In the beginning Elohim created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of Elohim moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And Elohim said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And Elohim saw the light, that [it was] good: and Elohim divided the light from the darkness. 5 And Elohim called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Genesis 2:4-5 clarifies who the Creator really is: Genesis 2:4-5 4 These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that YHVH Elohim made the earth and the heavens, 5 and every plant of the field before it was in the

57 earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for YHVH Elohim had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and [there was] not a man to till the ground. More than one or two verses must be read to grasp the intent of the writer. John wrote a progression of thought in John 1:1 showing his readers that YaHavah, his word, and his Spirit are one. He then carried that thought through into his first epistle where he wrote: 1John 5:1-5 (WYB) Whosoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of YHVH: and every one that is a friend of him that begat is a friend of him also that is begotten of him. 2 By this we know that we are friends of the children of YHVH, when we are friends of YHVH, and keep his commandments. 3 For this is the agape (heavenly love) of YHVH, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not burdensome. 4 For whatsoever is born of YHVH overcomes the world: our faith is the victory that overcomes the world. 5 Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of YHVH? 1John 5:6-8 (WYB) 6 This is he that came by water and blood, [even] Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is His Spirit that bears witness, because His Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, his word, and his Holy Spirit: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, His Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree as one. There is confirmation between John s Gospel and his 1st Epistle. Now compare the KJV verses 6-8 with the WYB verses above. 1John 5:6-8 (KJV) 6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. Word is capitalized to indicate Jesus, but notice that verse 7 states these three are one and verse 8 states these three agree as one. Verse 7 is referring to heaven and verse 8 is referring to earth. In verse 5:6, John confirms that YaHavah s Spirit indwelled Jesus so that he spoke and did as his Father directed him. He was conceived by the power of YaHavah s Spirit, was anointed and lived in the power of YaHavah s Spirit, was resurrected by the power of YaHavah s Spirit, and then after he ascended to be

58 glorified in heaven, YaHavah s Spirit came ten days later as the early rain on the Day of Pentecost. (Rev.5:6) Of course it doesn t say these things verbatim, but they do coordinate in the context of other Scriptures that do make these statements. It is what Immanuel, YHVH with us means. Not that Jesus is God but that the Spirit of YHVH dwelled with Jesus and spoke through his son to the people. Verse 5:7 refers to the record of the Father in heaven. His word is literally his spoken word and his Spirit is literally his person who fills heaven and earth. The Father is YaHavah who spoke all into creation by the power of his omnipotent and omnipresent Spirit (He fills heaven and earth). His spoken word promised the birth of his Son and made it so at the appointed time. In verse 5:8, we see the witness of Father s presence on earth by the pouring out of his Spirit (water as rain) at Pentecost and the witness of Jesus by his shed blood and kinship to YaHavah (blood). These three verses have a cloud of controversy hovering over them because verse 7 is incorrectly claimed as proof text for the Trinity doctrine. Is the water that of baptism or Spirit baptism? Is the blood that of the sacrifice of Christ or the kinship of father and son? When these verses were discussed in Bible Study classes in my early Christian years, no one understood what they meant, not even the teacher. The Greek root word hudatos translated to water literally means rain or shower. The imagery is consistent with OT prophecies concerning the outpouring of His Spirit in the latter times and with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Water is a double witness for Jesus anointing in YaHavah s Spirit at the start of his ministry and the outpouring of YaHavah s Spirit after Jesus ascended into heaven to be glorified. The sequence of fulfillment and references are listed below under the subheading, The All Important Anointing. The Greek word haima is translated to blood which can be understood as either bloodshed or kindred. The context of verses 1-8 is that Jesus is the son of YaHavah, therefore the witness of blood is the kinship of Father and Son, which in turn makes the Son free of the sin of Adam and worthy to die for our salvation. The blood then, is a double witness. Moses, the greatest prophet of YaHavah, spoke his words: Exodus 4: And YHVH said to him, Who has made man s mouth? Or who makes the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, YHVH? 12 Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall say.

59 Jeremiah who was also a prophet of YaHavah spoke his words. Jeremiah 23: [Am] I Elohim at hand, said YHVH, and not Elohim afar off? 24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? Said YHVH. Do I not fill heaven and earth? Said YHVH. Jeremiah verse 24 testifies to John s understanding that YaHavah, his words, and his Spirit are not three separate beings, but YaHavah alone. The Bible testifies that what is in the thoughts and heart of YaHavah, he will accomplish. These verses all testify that YaHavah, his word, and his Spirit are one, not three in one. To say otherwise is just a silly notion the Bible calls folly. 12 It is better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs, than to meet a fool in his folly. (Proverbs 17:12) YaHavah s word is his spoken word not another person, metaphorically, allegorically, or otherwise. Neither is his Spirit another person, any more than my spirit or your spirit is another person. In his gospel and first epistle, John also declared the truth of Genesis 1:1-5 and 2:4-5. YaHavah is the beginning and He is the end. Literally, the spoken word of YaHavah created all and the spoken word of YaHavah will end all. Jesus is the core of YaHavah s plan of salvation and He is YaHavah with us by the omnipresence of the Spirit of YaHavah, his Father. The All Important Anointing The statements I am about to make are to be understood biblically, some of which are not adequately taught or not taught at all in the seminaries and churches. The anointing of the seven spirits of YaHavah is also stated as YaHavah with us, or as commonly stated, God with us. YaHavah teaches the anointed by the presence of His Spirit. John wrote the most about YaHavah and his anointing. Anointing in the Spirit was discussed fully in Chapter 3. 1John 2:27 But the anointing which you have received of him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him. All of the following references explain what the anointing is and the sequence of fulfillment: 7. Promised anointing of Jesus in the seven spirits of YaHavah (Isaiah 11:1-2) 8. Prophesied anointing of Jesus called the Holy one (Daniel 9:24) 9. Fulfillment of the anointing represented by the descending dove and confirming voice of YaHavah (Matthew 3:16-17)

60 10. Jesus told his disciples that one must be born again in the spirit to enter the Kingdom of YaHavah (John 3:5-8) 11. Jesus ascended to heaven to receive the Kingdom of YaHavah and release the outpouring of the seven spirit anointing to all who accept the whole truth of Jesus Christ (Revelation 5:6) 12. The fulfillment of the outpouring of the seven spirit anointing was announced by wind in the upper room and manifested boldly by flames upon the heads of the twelve disciples. This momentous occasion happened ten days after Jesus ascended to heaven to receive his Father s Kingdom and the Book of Life, aka, the seven sealed scroll. One must be born again in the Spirit of YaHavah to see the Kingdom of YaHavah through Jesus Christ. The Bible also describes the anointing as the baptism of Jesus and baptism in the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:1-4) Revelation 5:6 is seldom, if ever, taught as part of the Holy Spirit baptism, because the pre-tribulation rapture theory has robbed believers of its importance. They by-pass the outpouring of the seven spirits, altogether. It has been only in the past five years that commentators have begun to look at the seven spirits, even so, they miss the reason for the seven spirit anointing. But more on that in the next chapter. Heretic... To Be or Not to Be The phrase Jesus is not God strikes fear in the hearts of most Christians how dare anyone say Jesus is not God. The speaker of those words is immediately tagged as a heretic and deemed practitioner of Arianism. It has happened to me many times, showing me my accusers really didn t know what they were talking about. Arianism: (Theology) the doctrine of Arius (AD 336), pronounced heretical at the Council of Nicaea, which asserted that Christ was not of one substance with the Father, but a creature raised by the Father to the dignity of Son of God (Collins English Dictionary Complete and Unabridged HarperCollins Publishers 1991, 1994, 1998, 2000, 2003) One substance (consubstantial) is defined as being of the same nature or origin. Arius proclaimed that Jesus was not of the same origin as God; therefore, Jesus could not be a god himself. He was right; however, Arius made the mistake of denying that God was the birth father of Jesus. Apparently, Arius didn t know our Creator as YHVH. I really don t like the word God. The God of the Bible has a personal proper name; which, as discussed earlier, is in Hebrew, YHVH.(י ה ו ה) According to

61 Genesis 2:4, These [are] the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that YHVH Elohim made the earth and the heavens. Clearly, YHVH is our creator. To be Creator of all is the highest recognition in all of creation. As such, it is disrespectful not to refer to him by his Hebrew name and/or his Hebrew title of deference. Jews say the name is too holy to speak, even though YHVH commands that his name be proclaimed in all the earth; therefore, it is pure superstition that the name YHVH is too holy to speak. (Exodus 9:16) I discussed this subject in more detail in Chapter 2, but it is worth repeating. Did you follow through on the word search project for My Name in that chapter? Some pronounce YHVH as Yahweh, Yehovah, or Jehovah. I pronounce it YaHavah by using the pronunciation of the root letters, HVH, hävah, meaning to be or exist. HVH, hōvah, meaning ruin or disaster, is inconsistent with the Biblical understanding of YHVH. (Biblehub.net offers many Bible resources for simple or serious research.) What Does the Bible Teach About Jesus? Like the OT, the NT is about human relationship with YHVH. The OT brought knowledge of that relationship by the Spirit of YHVH through the Law and the prophets. The NT introduces a personal relationship with YHVH by His Spirit through Jesus Christ. Jesus used parables and metaphors to teach YaHavah s principles. Jesus taught his disciples from OT prophecies about: 1. The promised Redeemer 2. Redemption/salvation for all who believe in the Father and Son 3. The kingdom of YHVH 4. Circumcision of the heart (promise of a renewed relationship with YHVH by His Spirit) 5. The coming last seven years of Daniels prophecy of seventy-sevens of weeks 6. The redemptive promise of a final remnant of Israel 7. The Great Day of YHVH 8. The wrath of YHVH

62 9. Other subjects pertaining to human relationship with Father and Son. All of these are like bits of colored glass reflected in the mirrors of the kaleidoscope of prophecy throughout the Bible. Overall, the testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy. (Revelation 19:10) Everything we need to know about Jesus is stated in various ways in the Bible, all of which create a very impressive image of our Lord, Jesus Christ. To demonstrate, we will look at how the image at the beginning of this chapter, drawn from Ezekiel s description of the Four Living Creatures, plays a part in the four Gospels. Book 40 Matthew Lion of Judah The Lion is one of the faces of Ezekiel s Four Living Creatures. The theme of Matthew is that of Jesus as the King of kings and the Lion of Judah. Judah is the ancestor of Jesus through his mother. When Jacob was dying, he spoke blessings over all twelve of his sons. Below is the blessing he spoke to Judah, which is also a prophecy of the coming Redeemer, Jesus Christ. Genesis 49:8-12 From the blessings of Israel (Jacob) to his sons: 8 Judah, you [are he] whom your brethren shall praise: your hand [shall be] in the neck of your enemies; your father s children shall bow down before you. 9 Judah [is] a lion s whelp: from the prey, my son, you are gone up: he stooped down, he crouched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? 10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and to him [shall] the gathering of the people [be]. 11 Binding his foal to the vine, and his asses colt to the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: 12 his eyes [shall be] red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

63 Book 41 Mark The Sacrifice of Peace The gospel of Mark tells us about the last sacrifice represented by the face of an ox on Ezekiel s Four Living Creatures. Leviticus 3 and 4 describe the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings and sin offerings. Jesus, being without sin, was made the sacrifice of peace offerings and sin offerings to YHVH. His blood was shed outside the city according to the law. His life was given in propitiation for the sins of all the descendants of Adam, who brought sin upon mankind. Propitiation means that Jesus, being the son of YaHavah and born without the sin of Adam, paid the price of death (separation from YHVH) for the sin of Adam. (Gen 2:17) Book 42 Luke Son of Man The theme of the gospel of Luke is of the Son of man who is the prophesied Son of YHVH. The face of a man on Ezekiel s Four Living Creatures is the Son of Man, who is Jesus Christ. Jesus identity as the Son of Man and the Son of YHVH reveals to us that Jesus was fully human, yet not in the full genetic line of Adam. Genealogy is developed from father to son. Jesus human genealogy is recorded through his mother s father all the way to Adam. Jesus true genealogy is directly to his father, YHVH. Jesus is the human Son of man by his mother and the human Son of YHVH by his father. He was created in the womb of his mother in accordance with YHVH s own plan of procreation begun with Adam and Eve.

64 Human creation by YHVH was accomplished in three unique stages. These three produced physical and spirit DNA that is passed on to future generations. 1. Adam was created from the dust of the earth and life was breathed into him by YHVH. 2. Eve was created from a rib bone from Adam and life was breathed into her by YHVH. Human male and female were created for the purpose of procreation by the union of male and female and life is breathed into their offspring by YHVH. 3. YHVH created Jesus in the womb of a virgin maiden without benefit of a human male and life was breathed into him by his father, YHVH; neither his body, nor his soul (spirit) existed prior to his conception and birth. Jesus never married nor procreated. Consider this: YHVH created a tiny human sperm to fertilize a tiny human ovum (egg) in the womb of a favored human virgin. Jesus was the first and the last human created in this way. He is the one and only birth son of YHVH/Son of man, again, the first and the last. Jesus holds the birthrights to the throne of the Kingdom of YHVH and the throne of the Kingdom of Judah through David s son Nathan. Beings created before the creation of our heavens and earth were created to be what they are for eternity; they are the host of heaven known as YHVH s angels and messengers. They can neither procreate nor become human at will as suggested by the false doctrine of the Nephilim of Genesis 6. (See annotations for Genesis 6 in the WYB; Luke 20:34-36) In like manner, humans cannot become angels. Neither can humans change their human birth gender at will, even though physical body parts can be medically altered. Even if science is able to manipulate some physical genetic material, it may not be possible to alter more complex parts of the genetic chromosomes of DNA. No matter how a male or female surgically manipulates the body, the blood will always bear the genetic truth. Physical DNA and spirit are unique to each baby born into this world. The intensity of the sin of Adam in each person is also unique. Only anointing in the Spirit of YHVH can alter the human spirit and make it born again in the Spirit of YaHavah. Jesus life (soul/spirit) was breathed into him by YHVH, not pulled into him by the incarnation of a preexisting being, which would be reincarnation. If there is anything in any Bible pointing to the incarnation of a preexistent being, it is by the hand of man s manipulation of the Bible, not the inspiration of YHVH.

65 The first chapter of Luke s Gospel provides a full account of his miracle birth and the approximate time of year. The Bible does not state a specific date, but we can know for certain that December 25 th is not the birth date of Jesus. (It is said that after Antiochus IV, (Epiphanes) had the pig sacrificed in the Jewish Temple, he ordered the Jews to celebrate his birthday on December 25. Being pagan, he prided himself on being born during the winter solstice in December.) When Was Jesus Born? Since we do not know the exact birthdate of Jesus, it is better to celebrate the truth of Jesus Christ every moment of every day. Jesus gave humanity the gift of salvation from YHVH s final destruction of sin and life eternal. We have only to repent of the sin of Adam in us and in faith accept Jesus payment for our sin. Even so, we have a number of Bible clues by which to calculate the possible time of year for Jesus birth. Our calculations must be made from certain Bible text and ancient Jewish law concerning the service of temple priests. There are some Jews today who are well-versed on the ancient subject of the Law of Moses, yet, even they have differences of opinion. The search for the birth month of Jesus begins with the Bible text about the temple priest, Zachariah and his wife, Elisabeth. Even though Luke provides strong hints concerning Zachariah s temple service and the coordinated conceptions of John and Jesus, there is no way to pinpoint the exact day of Jesus birth. However, three things are key in the process of estimating Jesus birth month; 1) his age when he was baptized, 2) the season of Zachariah s temple service, and 3) the upcoming Passover, the latter being primary. To begin, the Jews used two calendars. The Civil calendar, beginning in the Hebrew month of Tishri, was used for official business, childbirth, and contracts. The Sacred calendar, beginning in the Hebrew month of Nisan, was used to compute the sacred events of the Feasts of YHVH. Since temple service was under Sacred Law, it is assumed here that Zachariah s temple service and the conceptions of John and Jesus were also by that calendar. The evidence for that assumption is that the prophecy of Daniel s seventy sevens is based on every level of Sabbath within which is Jesus birth, anointing, death, ascension and return. In short, his first and second coming. Using the markers in the Book of Luke and some outside research, we learn that Zachariah was priest of the temple in the division of Abijah in the line of Aaron. (1Chronicles 24: 10) His priestly duty was to tend to the altar of

66 incense and the lampstands twice a day for seven days twice a year. His appointed time of service was in Abijah s eighth division (out of twenty-four priests) in the month of Iyar (April/May) or the end of May for spring service. His fall service was at the end of Heshvan (Oct/Nov). The conceptions of John and Jesus were only six months apart, and Passover is so closely associated to Jesus it is unlikely John was conceived at the end of Zachariah s spring service, therefore, this calculation is based on his fall service. Elizabeth conceived soon after Zachariah s service was fulfilled at the end of Heshvan (November) probably putting John s conception in the month of Chislev (December). In Elizabeth s sixth month (Sivan or end of May), Mary conceived Jesus. Since the timing was likely at the end of May, Jesus conception was probably in the sacred month of Sivan or the beginning of June. Nine months later Jesus was born in the sacred month of Shebat or the beginning of February. Eight days later Jesus was circumcised, then several days later he was presented at temple in Jerusalem. The family would have been able to celebrate Passover after Mary completed her days of purification time of thirty-three days. (Leviticus 12:1-4) The family returned home from Jerusalem after they performed all of their duties according to the Law. The family visited Jerusalem every year at Passover, according to the Law. John the Baptist was a Levite. His father was one of the keepers of the flames of the temple lampstand. The lampstand is the relational representation of the Spirit of YaHavah and his seven spirit anointing. John the Levite announced Jesus who would baptize in the fire of the Spirit. The Bible teaches us that Jesus is King of kings and High Priest. Jesus was born in the line of Judah giving him rights to be King of Judah. He is also called our High Priest. The required age to enter the priesthood is thirty. Jesus turned thirty prior to his baptism by his cousin John, a Levite. Since Jesus crucifixion associates him with the sacrificial Passover lamb (John 1:29) and he is pictured as such in Revelation 4 and 5, it would seem there is no question that he was born in the month of Shebat in the beginning of the Gregorian calendar month of February several weeks before Passover. 1. Jesus was born several weeks before Passover 2. Jesus was presented to YHVH at Passover 3. Jesus celebrated manhood at age 12 when he sat with the priests speaking scriptures at Passover 4. Jesus was baptized and anointed before Passover at thirty years of age 5. Jesus was crucified at the time of Passover

67 The Feast of Unleavened Bread or Passover was first initiated when the tribes of Israel began their exodus out of Egypt. Only those who marked their doors with the blood of a lamb could be counted in their exodus. In much the same way, believers are sanctified by the shed blood of YHVH s Passover Lamb. Jesus is the only way for believers, living and the dead, to escape the wrath of YHVH described by the seven bowls in the Book of Revelation and the second death at the White Throne Judgment. Passover is indeed important in calculating Jesus birth month. Concerning Jesus being a priest of the order of Melchizedek, Paul wrote: Hebrews 7: And inasmuch as not without an oath [he was made priest]: 21 (for those priests were made without an oath; but this with an oath by him that said to him, The Lord swore and will not repent, You [are] a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek:) (Psalm 110:4) 22 by so much was Jesus made a surety of a better testament. 23 And they truly were many priests, because they were not suffered to continue by reason of death: 24 but this [man], because he continues ever, has an unchangeable priesthood. 25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come to YHVH by him, seeing he ever lives to make intercession for them. 26 For such an high priest became us, [who is] holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens; 27 who needs not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the peoples: for this he did once, when he offered up himself. Luke continued his report on the birth and growth of Christianity in the Acts of the Apostles. Book 43 John Face of an Eagle-Redemption The theme of John s Gospel is associated with the face of an eagle of the Four Living Creatures. The face of an eagle represents the protection of YaHavah like an eagle baring its young on its wings. Deuteronomy 32: For YHVH s portion [is] his people; Jacob [is] the lot of his inheritance. 10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept

68 him as the apple of his eye. 11 As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings: 12 [so] YHVH alone did lead him, and [there was] no strange god with him. The eagle is a bird of prey; as such, it is used to represent the enemy. The eagle is also known for its protection of its young, as in verses It is in this sense that the eagle represents YHVH s love and protection by his omnipresent Spirit and light in six out of twenty-five Bible references to the eagle. (Psalm 103:5; Ezekiel 1:10; 10:14; Revelation 4:7; 12:14; for the light see 1John 1:5-7 and other references to the lampstand) Apostle John carried the theme of redemption from Exodus 19 into his Gospel and into the Book of Revelation. Exodus 19:3-4 3 And Moses went up to Elohim, and YHVH called to him out of the mountain, saying, Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel; 4 You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and [how] I bare you on eagle s wings, and brought you to myself. In the opening statements of John, he makes six things very clear about YHVH: 1. YHVH Elohim is our one and only Creator 2. Everything was created according to YHVH s plan and reasoning 3. YHVH is Spirit 4. YHVH s Spirit is the true light 5. YHVH spoke and Jesus was conceived, YHVH s word spoke into being the only begotten son of YHVH 6. Jesus was anointed in the Spirit of YHVH to be witness of same. In John s opening verses of his Gospel, most interpreters believe John is referring to Jesus as the incarnated Word translated from the Greek Logos. According to Strong s Bible Dictionary, the Greek word, Logos (G3056) means something said (including the thought); by implication a topic (subject of discourse), also reasoning (the mental faculty) or motive; by extension a computation. Isaiah 14:24 YHVH of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely, as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:

69 What YHVH has purposed in His mind is the same as having spoken it into being, whether at the moment of thought or at some appointed time in the future. Logos, used in the context of John 1:1, literally means the words YHVH spoke in the act of creation; this, and the thoughts of his mind are in the same context of Isaiah 14:24. There is no person or being called Word mentioned anywhere in the Bible, except by the hand of man, but not by the inspiration of YHVH. The verses of John 1:1-5 are pivotal in understanding who YHVH is as discussed earlier. The Greek words zoe translated to life and phos translated to light give verses 4 and 5 a very definitive meaning. The life of a person is in the spirit, while YaHavah s Spirit is more than life, it is light in the darkness; thus John 1:4-5 expresses YaHavah s life and light. The gospel of John tells us about rebirth in the Spirit of YaHavah as represented by the face of an eagle on the fourth Living Creature of Ezekiel. We have one Supreme Being whose name in Hebrew is YHVH (YaHavah). Jesus was conceived in the womb of a virgin by the spoken word of YHVH. Jesus is the core of YHVH s plan of salvation and He is YHVH with us by the omnipresence of the Spirit of YHVH. YHVH with us or as commonly stated God with us was manifested in the anointing of the seven spirits of YHVH at Jesus baptism and again on the Day of Pentecost to the disciples. All of the following references explain what the anointing is and the sequence of fulfillment: 1. Isaiah 11:1-2 Promised anointing of Jesus in the seven spirits of YaHavah 2. Daniel 9:24f Prophesied anointing of Jesus called the Holy one 3. Matthew 3:16-17 Fulfillment of the anointing represented by the descending dove and voice of YHVH. Even so, Jesus was filled with the Spirit of YHVH from the day of his birth. (Luke 1:15) 4. Luke 4:18 Jesus read in the Sanctuary from Isaiah 61:1-2 of his anointing in the Spirit of YHVH 5. John 3:5-8 Jesus told his disciples that one must be born again in the spirit 6. Revelation 5:6 Jesus ascended to heaven to receive the Kingdom of YHVH and release the outpouring of the seven spirit anointing to all who accept the whole truth of Jesus Christ 7. Acts 2:1-4 Fulfillment of the outpouring of the seven spirit anointing represented by the wind in the upper room and flames on the heads of

70 the disciples. One must be born again in the Spirit of YaHavah to see the Kingdom of YHVH. How has Christianity failed Jesus? Christianity has failed Jesus by resorting to myth and pagan beliefs to explain his existence. Revival will not come until pagan beliefs are removed from statements of faith.

71 8 HOW HAVE BELIEVERS OF CHRIST FAILED THE SCROLL WITH SEVEN SEALS? The Images of the Seven Seals on the Scroll As stated in Chapter 1, I began my Christian walk with an intense study of the Book of Revelation and how it is related to the whole Bible. As previously stated, it took many years, but I had the best mentors of all to bring me through all of the trials associated with studying the Revelation. I ve read many testimonies of well-known and well-respected Bible teachers. They all speak about having grown in Bible knowledge because of an honored mentor, a friend who stuck by them. The mentors have always been men or women at some point in their lives, usually in their youth or early adult years. Not one gave honor to YaHavah and Jesus as their mentors. I have not had a special friend I could call my Bible knowledge mentor. And for a long time I felt alone and outside of the circle. But as I ve grown in my knowledge of the Bible, I realize that my mentors are YaHavah and Jesus. Every Christian should be able to say that without shame or fear of reprisal. The promises in the Bible about them are true. They are faithful to the faithful and encouraging to the wavering and weary. Now it is time to discuss how Christianity has failed the scroll with seven seals. There are five well defined sections to the Book of Revelation: 1. The Foundation of Christianity 2. The Seven Seals on the Scroll 3. The Characters in YHVH s Plan of Salvation 4. Resurrection and Wrath 5. Armageddon to New Jerusalem In the 1990 edition of my first Revelation verse-by-verse commentary, I used 395 references from 47 of the 66 books of the Bible not including verse references to the Book of Revelation. I used 63 references in the commentary just for the scroll. Over all, this might seem like a lot to some and not enough for others. But I used what I believed to be the most pertinent to the subject.

72 When I finished the commentary, I had ten years of notes and drawings to help understand and then to sort it all out to complete the first edition. I must say that the complexity of the scroll is amazing. I had to work through many doctrinal difficulties and fought many head and heart battles because of established doctrines on the scroll with seven seals. I am certain others have had their difficulties and battles, also. Discussion on the scroll with seven seals opens the door to many eschatological viewpoints that require a book of their own. In fact, I included a list in my Glossary of Bible Terms in Section II titled Bible Prophecy Hot Words. But, for now, the scroll with seven seals is the topic of interest. Literally, all interpreters of the scroll with seven seals are of the opinion that all seven seals represent the last seven years of Daniel s prophecy of seventy sevens. They have all made the same errors in not using or acknowledging every clue given in the Bible s introduction and description of the scroll. Those oversights involve the first four seals the fearsome four horsemen whom they believe will come during the last seven years of Daniel s seventy sevens prophecy to conquer the world. It doesn t take an entire book to clarify the intent of the seven seals. It just takes knowledge of the whole Bible, or ability to use the search key-word feature of an online or PDF Bible and to read. Of course, the guidance of the true Spirit of YaHavah is also a must. For all seven seals to represent the last seven years of Daniel s seventy sevens prophecy, they must all be unique to that future seven years. The Bible makes it very clear they are not all unique to the future. Seals One Through Four: Past, Present, and Future The first four seals are about the four horsemen who represent Beasts, Sword, Famine, and Plagues. Or are they really about human choices initiating the consequences of disobedience represented by the four horsemen? (Leviticus 26:21-26) This is the first clue. According to Leviticus, these four were in constant action in the past, are in constant action in the present, and will be in constant action in the future. They are not unique to the future alone.

73 The four horsemen of Revelation have enjoyed a great deal of notoriety in the minds and writings of Christians for hundreds of years. It is time to put them in their proper place and see them as the Bible intends for us to see them the consequences of past, present, and future disobedience to YHVH. Leviticus 26 is first clue. The second clue is the introduction of the four horsemen by the Four Living Creatures. The Four Living Creatures is an angelic being who represents the four phases or aspects of Jesus life. This angelic being stands before the Throne of YHVH in representation of the four aspects of Jesus life and ministry. The faces of the four living creatures are described again here: 1. The face of a lion The lion is the symbol of the tribe of Judah. Jesus is descended from Judah and is called the king of kings. 2. The face of a bull or ox The bull was the sin offering for anointed priests. Jesus died on the cross as the last sin offering for a kingdom of priests. He represents peace with God. 3. The face of a man This is the Son of Man, 27 Labor not for the meat which perishes, but for that meat which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give to you: for him has YHVH the Father sealed. (John 6:27) 4. The face of an eagle This creature represents renewed life by the Holy Spirit and the protection of God for His own. His eyes scan the whole earth. I discussed the Four Living Creatures at greater length in Chapter 6 of this book. Their mention relative to the four horsemen is a matter of choice between good and evil. In other words, will your choices in life bring you blessings from YaHavah by choosing Jesus or the consequences of disobedience for not choosing Jesus? The correlation between the four horsemen and the Four Living Creatures makes the first four seals representation of choices between good and evil past, present, and future. These four seals are not unique to the future. The Altar of Seal Five: Seal five represents the covering of the last sin offering; the blood of the lamb of God, Jesus. Those under the altar have maintained the testimony of Jesus Christ to the death. They are all of those who have lived in the faith of Jesus Christ past, present, and future. He has covered them with His altar of sacrifice, which is a term of redemption. Whatever manner of death the faithful

74 die, their waiting place for the Day of the Lord is under the altar of Jesus Christ. This seal is not unique to the future. The Focus of Seal Six: This is one view of the end of the tribulation period. It is a preview of the time just before the last trumpet of seal seven is sounded and Jesus calls out, Come up here to all who bear the seal of the Spirit of YaHavah. This preview is dedicated to YHVH s promise to the twelve tribes of Israel and their renewal (Ezekiel 9:1-11, 37:4-14). This seal is unique to a future event. Seal Seven: Seal seven describes the occurrences of the last seven years of Daniel s prophecy of seventy-sevens (Daniel 9:24-27). Each year will be announced by the sound of a trumpet from heaven. Each trumpet is a warning that the Great Day of YHVH is near until the seventh that lets us know that Great Day has arrived. Will we hear the trumpets physically or spiritually? I don t know, but all who are alive at that time will know they sounded by the occurrences that follow. This is why it is so crucially important for believers to know the truth about the seven seals and for them to educate others about them. It could mean the salvation of millions more souls. Joshua and the falling walls of Jericho was the forerunner or metaphor of Daniel s seventieth-seven (Joshua 6:2-16). Both, the Greek name Ie sous (Jesus) and Hebrew name Yeshuah, mean Yah saves. Both, the Greek epithet Christos and Hebrew epithet HaMachiach, mean anointed. I still prefer the familiar name and title of Jesus Christ, which literally means Yah saves (through his) anointed one. The first disciples were called Christians, not because they followed Christ, but because they received the promised anointing in the Spirit of YaHavah on the Day of Pentecost; they were not called Hamashiachians. Acts 11:26 26 And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. One last item to consider is the sign that is not usually discussed in relation to the scroll with seven seals; it is the Book of Life. I have seen some images of the scroll with seven seals showing the scroll opening a little with each broken seal. Being broken means to be finished; it is no longer needed. On the sroll with seven seals, each seal is broken when the events of that seal are played

75 out. The seventh seal will not be broken (finished) until everything depicted on it is finished. The scroll cannot be opened, even partially, until the end of the millennium at the time of the White Throne Judgment, neither can the seventh year end until the end of the millennium. When all of the seals and prophecies have completed their purpose, then the scroll will open to reveal the Book of Life written on the inside. The scroll is in the hands of Jesus from the time it was given to him to the time he will judge from it while seated on the White Throne of Judgment. Seven Trumpets Warn of the coming Great Day of YHVH Each year of the last seven years will be announced by the sound of a trumpet warning us that the Day of YaHavah is near. The Book of Joel corresponds to Revelation Chapters 8 through 11 describing the occurrences of the seven trumpets and Jesus description of the days before his return recorded in Matthew 24. Joel is the book of the watchman prophet urging humankind to seek the name of YHVH and to know the signs for the coming Day of YHVH, when the remnant will be sealed before the sound of the seventh trumpet and taken with the faithful saints to meet Jesus in the air. (Joel 2 and 3; Revelation 7:1-8; Revelation 8: 1 through 11:19) Joel s trumpets of warning are the trumpets of the seventh seal depicted in the seven trumpet table below. The Day of YaHavah or Great Day of YaHavah is 1,000 years long and will occur during a Land Sabbath year. 2Peter 3:8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day [is], with our Adonai, as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. By YaHavah s Law, in a Sabbath year, sold land is returned to the original owners and all debts are released. The Great Day is the seventh day of the seventieth week. In this context, day and year are synonymous. Our Lord Jesus Christ will return at the beginning of this Land Sabbath year for the first resurrection/rapture and deliver

76 YaHavah s wrath, then the peaceful reign of Jesus on David s throne on earth for 1,000 years.

77 Occurrences of the Last Seven Years of Daniel's Prophecy "Seventy Weeks to the End" (Dan. 8:19, 9:27) (Joel 2:1; Dan. 8:21-25; Rev. 8:1-11:19) FIRST TRUMPET---- SIGN OF YEAR ONE: Warning, the day of the lord is near! 1.

78 9 HOW HAVE BELIEVERS OF CHRIST FAILED YHVH S END TIME PROPHECIES? The Four Beasts of Daniel How can misunderstanding end time prophecy affect Christianity? Everyone knows that fully understanding prophecy is not possible... or is it? The four beasts of Daniel are key in understanding the timing of end time prophecy and the Bible s calendar to be discussed in the next chapter. This chapter is about the four great beasts in the Book of Daniel, the third and fourth beasts in particular. But let s begin with a little history of the acceptance of Daniel s book by Christian and Jewish Theologians. Daniel s time as YaHavah s prophet covered a span of about 83 years from AM 3866 to During those many years, he recorded his writings and visions on a series of scrolls. Each writing was dated by the year of the ruling king of Babylon at the time so it is improbable that they would have been sequential on only one scroll. The date of the ruling kings is the only information to indicate the order of each record. Daniel is a mysterious book filled with awesome and mysterious images. Anyone reading it will find it difficult to understand. In fact, the book was labeled as Jewish fable for many years. Its fable status was changed when it was canonized into the Judeo/Christian Bible as inspired prophecy. However, when the writings were set into chapters by the original translators, they were entered out of order relative to the years of the kings noted by Daniel. Note the chapter order and years in which they were written below: 1. 2 nd year of Nebuchadnezzar (AM 3887) Daniel Chapters 1-4 were written in that order within the years AM 3866-AM The subject is Nebuchadnezzar s colossus st year of Belshazzar (circa, AM 3928) Daniel Chapter 7 was written in that year. There was a ruling king between Nebuchadnezzar and his son, Belshazzar. The subjects of the visions were: The White Throne

79 Judgment, destruction of the fourth beast, vision of Jesus glorification after he ascended to heaven, and the angel describes the fourth beast rd year of Belshazzar (AM 3930) Daniel Chapters 8 and 5 were written in that order within the year AM The subject is the goat transitioning from one horn to four horns, then a little horn coming out of one of the four rd year of Cyrus (AM 3935) Daniel Chapters 10, 11, 12 were written in that order within the years AM AM The subject is the fourth beast beginning with Daniel s mourning then the vision of the angel of the Lord who tells Daniel he will give him understanding of the fourth beast. Chapter 11 fulfills that promise. Chapter 12 affirms the fulfillment of YaHavah s promise of redemption for the twelve tribes of Israel st year of Darius (AM 3949) Daniel Chapters 9 and 6 were written in that order within the year AM Daniel is given the parameters of end time prophecy in the timing and objectives of the seventy weeks. He is told that the seventy weeks began with the decree to restore Jerusalem s temple in the 1 st year of Cyrus (AM 3932) (Ezra 1:1-3) As you can see in the above list, the translator s chapter order is out of sync with the dates of the kings. It seems that the original translators focused on the visions for the order rather than the years of the kings. The Word of YHVH Bible has the chapters organized in the order of the years of the kings as noted by Daniel and shown above. Bible Chronology and Daniel The above order of chapters for the Book of Daniel was derived from my chronology of Bible time from Adam. The times are grouped according to linear changes in following the righteous line of Jesus Christ. Not all persons or times are necessary for this chronology. After the fall of Jerusalem, the linear year subject turns to the kings of Babylon and the captivity of Jerusalem. It is during this time that Daniel recorded his visions of prophecy from YaHavah. At this point the four beasts play a big part in Bible timing. The number of years Nebuchadnezzar ruled over Babylon is history. For the chronology, we are only interested in the number of years he and succeeding kings ruled over the captivity of Jerusalem. Daniel described these kings as beasts. The reason is in the Law concerning the consequences of disobedience. (Leviticus 26:14-32) Deuteronomy 28:1-68 is excruciatingly graphic in describing the consequences of disobedience. Fall and captivity is

80 imminent for the United States if this country continues to change its laws in favor of going against the commandments of YaHavah. Legalizing same sex marriage, transgenderism, and transgender use of public restrooms are only a few signs of looming captivity. Forcing the people of this nation to accept these anomalies against their religious beliefs is also against YaHavah. Even though this nation has a separation of religion and state, the current laws are finding their way into the churches by compromise. First Beast of Daniel Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon (AM 3885-AM 3909) (585 BC) took Jerusalem captive because of sin. Nebuchadnezzar was the first beast depicted as a lion with two wings on its back. He was also depicted as a great colossus statue in four parts that coordinate with the four beasts. Other kings reigned over Babylon and Jerusalem between AM 3909 and AM 3932, including his own son. Second Beast of Daniel The second beast consisted of three Persian and Mede kings over Babylon. The first king, Cyrus the Persian (AM ) (Dan. 9:24-25; Is. 44:24-28), wrote a decree authorizing the restoration of the temple at Jerusalem. Cambyses II, aka, Ahasuerus, reigned seven years (AM ) between Cyrus and Darius. Babylonians during the reign of Cambyses II opposed rebuilding the temple and caused work to cease. Even though Cambyses is not part of the second beast, he did play a part in preventing the annihilation of the captives while the work on the temple was at a halt see the Book of Esther and Daniel 9:1. The second king, Darius I (AM 3949-AM 3955), stopped the opposition against the temple and honored the original decree to finish rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. The temple was completed in 515 BC. There was one king between Darius I and Artaxerxes I Longimanus who reigned for 21 years. This king was not part of the second beast. In the 20 th year of the third king over Babylon and Jerusalem, Nehemiah requested permission to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. The third king, Artaxerxes I Longimanus (AM 3976-AM 4017), issued the decree to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem. This correlates with Daniel 9:25.

81 Building the Wall of Jerusalem Nehemiah left Babylon in the 1st month (Nisan) of AM 3996 (474 BC) and arrived in Jerusalem in the 4th month (Tammuz). The wall was finished in 52 days in the 6th month (Elul). In the seventh month (Tishri), AM 3996 (445 BC), Nehemiah read the Law and the congregation celebrated the Feast of Ingathering. (Nehemiah 2:1; 6:15; 8:1-18) This completed the acts of the first two beasts known as the lion and the bear. Third Beast in Three Phases The prophecies for the first and second beasts were straightforward; they came to do what they needed to do and were finished. To understand Daniel s horrific vision of the Fourth Beast, we must first understand the third beast, its composition, and its purpose. The third beast is very complex because it includes other parts of four beast prophecies in order to fulfill its purpose, such as the goat with one horn that morphs into four horns and a little horn. It sounds confusing, but bear with me and you will see how they all work together to reveal the Fourth Beast. For now, the focus is only on the third beast. Its appearance is the body of a leopard, four heads, and two sets of wings: Phase 1 Alexander the Great (AM 4017-AM 4027) ( BC) is depicted as a leopard with four heads and four wings. Phase 2 Alexander s four generals take over his Empire after his death. They are depicted as the four heads on the leopard. 1. Lysimachus Asia Minor but later lost it to Rome. 2. Cassander Greece also lost to Rome. 3. Ptolomy Egypt whose dynasty lasted from AM 4027 through AM 4320 ( BC). 4. Seleucus Syria whose Empire lasted from AM 4017 through AM 4287 ( BC). The Ptolemaic and Seleucid Empires tried to slyly overtake each other for 260 years, until the Seleucid Empire fell to Rome after the death of Antiochus IV Epiphanes. (Daniel 11:3-28) Seventeen years later, Rome took Egypt from the Ptolemy s. In Daniel 11:28, it is Antiochus IV who visited the Ptolemaic ruler in Egypt twice. Daniel 11:29 refers to a third time, but Antiochus IV became

82 very ill and never returned to Egypt. It is the little horn out of this descendant of Seleucus that will rise up to cause havoc in the world before Jesus returns. Phase 3 The Fourth Beast and his false prophet are depicted as the two sets of wings on the back of the leopard. The Fourth Beast, known as the Antichrist of the tribulation period will reign terror the last half of the last seven years. The Fourth Beast is called the Dragon described by a riddle in Revelation 13:3: 1. Five are fallen 2. One is 3. The other is not yet come; and when he comes, he must continue a short space (Revelation 17:10) Alexander and his four generals are fallen (five are fallen). Satan is the spirit of the beast (one is). The Fourth Beast is yet to come. There are four main prophecies and one sub-prophecy that funnel down to the entrance of the Fourth Beast. As you can see in the image below, this beast consists of three parts: the body (Alexander), four heads (his four generals), and four wings, which are the Fourth Beast and his prophet. Daniel first saw Alexander as a goat with one horn who butted heads with the Medio/Persian ram who was also the second beast depicted as the bear with three ribs in its mouth. (Is it any wonder this book is called a mystery?) After Alexander s death, the one horn on the goat morphed into four horns representing Alexander s four generals who divided his kingdom between themselves. 1. The body of the leopard represents Alexander the Great whose time is finished. He came to bring in his four generals, which are the four heads on the leopard and the four horns on the goat.

83 2. The four generals came and finished their purpose, but one of the four horns will develop a sprout to give it new life like a dead tree sprouting a new tree from its base, only in this case it is a small horn being sprouted as a new leader. (Revelation 13:3) 3. A descendant of one of those generals, the fierce Seleucid Antiochus IV, (Epiphanes), came and died so that another fiercer than he could take his place far into the future. This one will be the Fourth Beast described in Revelation as the dragon with seven heads and ten horns. 4. One of the horns on the dragon s ten horns has a sprout of new life coming out of it that is also the small sprout from one of the four horns on the goat. The sprout on the dragon and the goat is what identifies the nation from which the Fourth Beast will come. The fully grown sprout is also one of the seven heads on the dragon. Like I said, it is complex, but understandable when all of the parts are properly fitted together. The images of Daniel put all of the pieces together in a graphic explanation. (See my book the Prophecy Trilogy Timeline, Daniel, Revelation.) Nebuchadnezzar s colossus also plays a big part in the parameters of prophecy interpretations. Included in the book of Daniel (in my Prophecy Trilogy) is an image that provides an informative Bible view of the five connected prophecies. Care must be taken to not add to or take away from Bible prophecy. For example, many scholars believe the legs of Nebuchadnezzar s colossus represent Rome, but Rome is not mentioned in the description and prophecies of the third and Fourth Beast. The Preterist assumption that Rome is the Fourth Beast comes from an error made in interpreting Daniel 9:26 to mean the destruction of Jerusalem by Rome in AD 70. That verse is actually about the future time of the Fourth Beast. Based on what the Bible has shown us so far confirms that five of the seven heads on the dragon are Alexander and his four generals; they were alive, now they are not. One is, stated this way, means not dead. The evil spirit of all four beasts is very much alive; he is Satan. The one who is yet to come is the small sprout from one of the horns (generals) on the goat and on one of the dragon s 10 horns (ten nations around Israel with whom she played the harlot in years past). Again, common opinion says that Rome is the Fourth Beast; however, the sprout will come from the dead Seleucid Empire whose throne was in Syria. (Daniel 11:2-29) Another common misconception is that the person to become the Antichrist will be killed and then resurrected from the dead. (Revelation 13:3) There is

84 nothing in the Bible that specifically states the Antichrist (Fourth Beast) will be killed and resurrected; however, the Bible clearly indicates that Antiochus IV died and another will come in his place at a later time who is worse than he. The one to come is the new sprout from the dead Seleucid kingdom a few thousand years later. The third beast came before Jesus first coming. The fourth beast will come before Jesus second coming. World Captivity Because of SIN Within the Seventy Sevens Calendar If believers cannot see the process of how the prophecies of Daniel play out, then how can they know whether prophecies they hear are true or not? Disagreement of various interpretations with the Bible is one more way Christianity has failed end time prophecies and failed YaHavah and Jesus.

85 10 HOW HAVE BELIEVERS OF CHRIST FAILED YHVH S CALENDAR? Seventy sevens of Daniel in the Bible Calendar The question title of this chapter might inspire some readers of this book to ask questions like these: 1. When was the Bible calendar established? 2. Why do we need a Bible calendar? 3. Is the Chronological order of the Bible important? 4. What is the purpose of Daniel's seventy sevens? 5. Are all of the prophecies within Daniel's Seventy Sevens finished? Daniel s seventy sevens prophecy is generally brought up only as a starting point for end time prophecies and to jump to the last seven years of that prophecy. Unfortunately, end time expositors are discarding all the meat so they can gnaw the bone. The count of 490 years to the crucifixion of Jesus and the last seven years are only two pieces to the puzzle of this prophecy. It s all the good meat on this bone that Bible expositors are failing to see and feed hungry Christians. This is one of the reasons Christianity has become like packs of junk yard dogs digging in the trash bins and fighting over their revelatory treasures. What happened to the servants Jesus died on the cross for and whom he commissioned to protect the content of the Bible, and to teach the truth from it?

86 The discarded truth about the seventy sevens is that the whole prophecy contains and puts into action the parameters or guidelines for understanding end time prophecies. It is the fence put up to protect the servants of the house of YaHavah from the ravaging junk yard dogs. The Calendar The common understanding of Bible calendars is that the Bible has two calendars very different from each other. One is based on the movement of the moon around the earth (Lunar); the other is based on the movement of the earth around the sun (Solar). Lunar Year Calendar: The average Lunar month is days or slightly more than 29.5 days. Twelve average Lunar months are equal to days. The problem with a lunar calendar is that it drifts away from the seasons. Each year, the start and end dates of each month drift by 11 days. The Jewish Civil and Sacred calendars are based on the Lunar year. Seven times in every 19 years an extra month of 29 days is added to the lunar calendar to catch up with solar years. Therefore, counting Bible years solely on the lunar 354-day year is incorrect. The additional 203 days every 19 years balances the lunar count with the solar count. Solar Year Calendar: Is a division of time equal to 12 lunar months. Also called astronomical year, equinoctial year, solar year, tropical year. A division of time equal to about 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds, representing the interval between one vernal equinox and the next. The solar year is days. The Gregorian Calendar, used by many countries today is based on the Solar year. The length of time for the Great Flood of Noah s time was based on the lunar year. Raining for forty days and forty nights is only a small piece of the story for the Great Flood. The flood began on Noah s 600 th birthday when he entered the ark and closed the big door. He left the ark one year later on his 601 st birthday, 354 lunar days. (Genesis 7 and 8) 1. It rained 150 days (7:24) 2. The waters abated for 150 days (8:3) 3. Noah waited 40 days (8:6), then 7 days (8:10), and again 7 days (812) before leaving the ark. Teaching our children that it rained 40 days and 40 nights is contradictory to the truth and can only cause confusion; thus the current children s Bible Study rendition of Noah s flood fails true Christianity.

87 Remember, being a Christian means being anointed in the seven spirits of YaHavah for him to teach the truth and lead the believer in the right way to go. Forty days and forty nights for the Great Flood is a lie that creates another lie that the Bible has contradictions. It also opens the question of whether the writers of Sunday School curriculum are anointed in the Spirit or not... or perhaps just careless. Either way is not in the Spirit of YaHavah. In ancient times, the marking of time was by making note of important events with images on rocks, seals, cylinders, and rings. What we know of ancient history has come from archeological finds of many thousands of these image records. Egyptian hieroglyphics are good examples. The prophecy of seventy sevens is one of the Bible s image records. The Bible is a chronology of important events filled with images to mark their importance. What most readers of the Bible do not realize is that there is a full Bible calendar. This calendar was established by YaHävah through Daniel in the first year of Darius the Mede over Babylon (AM 3949). The argument of whether it is lunar or solar is irrelevant, since the lunar calendar is designed to catch up to the solar calendar. Daniel 9:1-2 1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; 2 in the first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of YHVH came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. Daniel Chapters 9 and 6 (in that order) were written in the time of King Darius over Babylon. Darius is described as the son of Ahasuerus. Ahasuerus is the king in the Book of Esther. Ahasuerus tried to annihilate the Jews and failed. His succeeding son, Darius allowed them to rebuild and return to their land. Eighty-three years of Daniel s life in Babylon had passed by the time Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, took the throne in Babylon. Even after so many years, Daniel was very disturbed about the visions of the end time judgment toward his people and his prayer is long and fervent for YHVH s mercy. He desperately wanted to understand when the end time would be. The angel, Gabriel, was sent to answer his request to understand the visions given him. Daniel then received the prophecy of seventy sevens outlining the timing of certain prophetic directives leading to the end. These are important parameters encompassing the first and second coming of Christ. The prophecy is known as the prophecy of seventy weeks or seventy sevens.

88 The Hebrew word shabuah translated to weeks is a denominative of seven, in the case of the calendar it is intended to mean seven years. The prophecy is based on Land Sabbaths that are celebrated every seventh year when the land is to lay crop-free and untilled (fallow) to rest. Seventy weeks is the same as seventy sevens and equal to 490 years. However, to encompass the second coming of Christ, the count of years goes far beyond 490 years continuing in the same pattern as the first count of seven weeks. The count of years is stated as: 1. Seven weeks (49 years) 2. Sixty-two weeks (434 years) 3. One week (7 years) Again, the timing of this prophecy is based on the seventh year Land Sabbath and Jubilee. YaHavah told his people that because of their sin the land would celebrate Sabbath without them during their captivity. (Leviticus 26:33-35) The seventy sevens prophecy is how he is accomplishing this celebration. It is the true Bible calendar. Daniel 9: Seventy weeks are determined upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy [One]. 25 Know therefore and understand, [that] after the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 26a And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: 26b and the people of the prince that shall come shall batter and corrupt the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and to the end of the war desolations are determined. 27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the tribute to cease, and because of the overspreading of abominations [he shall cause] desolation, even to the end, and that determined shall be poured upon the ruined. The remnant of Israel is the primary people in this prophecy. YaHavah promised he would redeem a remnant of the twelve tribes who will be rejoined at the time of the coming of their Messiah.

89 There are many Bible references to the remnant; however, the best is in the Song of Solomon which describes the remnant of Israel as the sleeping bride and those brought into the covenant (Gentiles) as her sisters. The Book of Revelation sets the number of the remnant of Israel at 144,000 souls counting 12,000 from each of the twelve tribes. (Revelation 7) Keep in mind that it is a last minute deliverance of the remnant before the Son of Man is seen descending on a cloud from heaven. From the cross up to that moment, every living soul, both Jew and Gentile, had, has, or will have the opportunity to accept their Messiah, Jesus Christ to lead them into the kingdom of YaHavah. In the Song of Solomon, the Bride s companions are the daughters of Jerusalem, described elsewhere as other people or Gentiles who are faithful to YaHavah. Since the Song is for a future time, we may assume the daughters of Jerusalem are the Saints of Jesus Christ, aka, Christians and sisters of the Bride. Her companions are instructed not to awaken his Bride before the Bridegroom returns. The Bride (remnant of Israel) and her companions (Christians) all remain together until the Bridegroom comes to take them to the house he and his father have prepared. The word, remain, in this context means those who are alive at the time of the last seven years of Daniel s prophecy. Choices made and kept at the time of death are permanent and will tell at the time of resurrection. But what about the salvation of the aborigine, Indians, Eskimo, and all of the people who were and now are unconnected to channels of communication to hear the truth of Jesus Christ. That is like asking how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. No one can answer either question. Neither does anyone know what is in the mind of YaHavah except for that which we have in the Judeo/Christian Bible. All doctrine and questions must be measured by what we have in the Bible. There is no other Bible that has the truth of Jesus Christ and what we are to do until he returns. We cannot do anything about the past, but we can reach as many souls today and tomorrow as each of us is able. The Scarlet Thread and YaHavah s Calendar to the End The one thing that binds the whole Bible together is the scarlet thread. It does not matter how much someone tries to change the Bible as long as that scarlet thread remains intact. Well, it does matter, but as long as the thread is intact for the reader to see, the truth is still viable. So far it has remained so, regardless of a multitude of otherwise opinion. The scarlet thread, of course, is salvation in Jesus Christ.

90 Acts 17: YHVH that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands. 25 neither is worshipped with men s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he gives to all life, and breath, and all things. 26 and has made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined the times before appointed, and the boundaries of their circumstance. 27 that they should seek the Lord, if deciding they might search for him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us: 28 for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, for we are also his offspring. YaHavah s calendar to the end is his appointed times and the boundaries of their circumstance. Theologians call these boundaries, dispensations. If I understand the general meaning of Dispensationalism, dispensation would be distinct divisions of historical eras when something changed the relationship between YHVH and creation. The classical view of Dispensationalism (historical eras) is: 1. Innocence (Genesis 1-3) Adam and Eve before they sinned 2. Conscience (Genesis 3-8) First sin to the flood 3. Civil Government (Genesis 9-11) After the flood, government 4. Promise (Genesis 12-Ex. 19) Abraham to Moses, the Law is given 5. Law (Exodus 20-Acts 2:4) Moses to the cross 6. Grace (Acts 2:4--Revelation 20:3) Cross to the millennial kingdom 7. Millennial Kingdom (Rev. 20:4-6) The rule of Christ on earth in the millennial kingdom Daniel s prophecy of seventy sevens encompasses all the years from the beginning of the prophecy between Law and Grace to the White Throne Judgment, which means everything in the New Testament (NT). Five NT Church Age dispensations: 1. The life and acts of Jesus Christ 2. The first Church Age (Acts 1:1 through Revelation 3:22) 3. Church Proving Age (100 AD to Daniel s 69th year) 4. Millennial Age (Daniel s 70th year) 5. White Throne Judgment and Eternity Not all will agree with these five, but a closer look at the Bible s chronology and study of Daniel and Revelation will confirm that these agree with Bible prophecy parameters.

91 Today's current events are tomorrow's history History and current events have preoccupied many interpreters of end time prophecy for at least the last one hundred years. However, there has been no history or current events connected to end time prophecy since the Day of Pentecost after the ascension of Jesus Christ; with the exception of the natural increase of earthquakes and war Jesus call birth pangs. To avoid being caught in Satan's diversionary tactics, know there is only one line of history of which Christians must be fully aware. That line of history is within the Bible s calendar of seventy sevens. This calendar has been fully active since it began with the reconstruction of Jerusalem s Temple on the Mount. It is the fence protecting Christians from deceivers. According to Daniel s prophecy, the only thing left to occur before the last seven years begin is the seven-year agreement with many. This agreement will center around the one who will become the Fourth Beast. The agreement will be with the ten nations surrounding Jerusalem with whom the tribes of Israel played the harlot. The ten nations are the ten toes on Nebuchadnezzar s colossus and the ten horns on the Great Dragon of Revelation 12. The Great Dragon is Satan and the Fourth Beast is the little sprout from one of its ten horns. Satan is the controller. Truth and the scarlet thread of salvation still exist, but not in the minds and hearts of those who believe lies about the truth of the Judeo/Christian Bible. Mohammad believed that the Judeo/Christian scriptures were altered and not to be trusted, therefore an angel guided him in correcting the errors. He called his rewritten work and completely changed version of the Bible the Quran and Islam was born. I know that Muslims will be strongly offended at me for mentioning Mohammad among false prophets, but I cannot sugar coat and excuse something that deeply offends me and the Bible I believe in. Even so, I will not waste my time bashing Islam. I am simply informing about the circumstance. Joseph Smith, the founder of the Jesus Christ Latter-Day-Saints, aka, Mormonism wrote a book called The Book of Mormon. How it came into being is not very different from Mohammad s experience. Both doubted the truth of the Judeo/Christian Scriptures. Joseph Smith was guided by an angel to a buried stash of golden tablets containing God s writings in another language. He supposedly was the only person given the ability to translate the tablets. Joseph Smith s perspective of the Bible includes the lives and genealogy of an historically unknown people who in 3,500 years left no archeological mark of their existence, and who claim

92 a personal visit by Jesus almost immediately after he ascended to heaven. It is at this point that parts of the New Testament are altered for a race of people who left no mark of their existence, nor mentioned in the Judeo/Christian Bible. Neither is there any mention of a visitation of Jesus in the Americas after he ascended to heaven, or any other time for that matter. Paul heard Jesus speak to him on the road to Damascus, but there was no touch down. False prophets form their own perspective of the Bible in ways that break the thread of salvation from beginning to end and alter the Bible s record of the first and second coming of Jesus Christ. The Book of Revelation tells us that the testimony of Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy. That is where Christian focus should be. Everything we need to know is in the Judeo/Christian Bible. Everything else we learn about our world and experience from it is extra sometimes good and sometimes bad. What Is a Bible Linear Calendar? In 2012 the Mayan calendar had everyone s attention. No one seemed to know or care if our Creator had a calendar. YaHavah does have a linear calendar covering the chronological order of the people in Jesus s genealogy from Adam to the Babylonian captivity of Jerusalem (Judah), then moves into YaHavah s seventy sevens calendar to the end. Since genealogies are father to son, Jesus genealogy to Adam through Mary is by her father, his maternal grandfather. The common Gregorian calendar is only one of numerous calendars and systems for dating events of the Bible and history. It is not linear from Adam forward. In fact, the years before Jesus birth are counted backward from his estimated birth year counted as year one. However, it is not clear whether his birth is the starting point or some other point in history. Some say he was born in AD 3 and some say in 3 BC or some other year. It is confusing to say the least. Which calendar is the right one? What should I believe? Which doctrine interpretation is the truth? Who can I trust to answer these questions? Where does one begin to dig out of this hole of questions? Who and what can be trusted? The real problem is in discerning the trustworthy from the untrustworthy. There are trustworthy answers and YaHavah provided a linear calendar to help in the process of disabling the untrustworthy.

93 From the day, I became born again in 1980; I have searched the Bible and prayed to YaHavah for his understanding, as have many others. I have written notes, books, papers, and drawn images of what the Bible has taught me, because it helps me to understand it better, as have many others. One of my efforts to reach a deeper understanding of prophecy led me to develop the Bible s linear calendar from Adam all the way to the end and Jubilee in New Jerusalem. Others have gotten as far as the Babylonian captivity, but not all the way to New Jerusalem. There are numerous Bible chronologies, but none that incorporate Daniels s seventy sevens calendar to the end. The guidelines for developing a linear calendar from the Bible are selective, in that it does not list every person and event, as do many chronological studies. This linear calendar is comprised of Jesus genealogy through his mother, Mary, and other people applicable in the fulfillment of prophetic events along the road to the final destination of New Jerusalem. Most of the people and events in the Bible and the world are like scenery along the roadway necessary only for historical record. The entire human race is part of the scenery, even so, not all have allowed history past, present, and future to distract them from the focus of the road; they are the righteous of YaHavah who will not miss the call of resurrection when Jesus returns. The Bible says, many are called but few are chosen. Only eight, Noah and his family, survived the Great Flood and only three, Lot and his two daughters, survived the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. YaHavah provided a Bible linear calendar in Daniel s prophecy of seventysevens to help us get to our destination unencumbered by false timing interpretations. The prophecy of seventy sevens contains specific signposts or parameters to keep one from straying off the road and getting lost in the scenery and junk yards along the way. The Reference Used for Linear Calendars The accepted reference for linear Bible dating is AM or A.M., which refers to Anno Mundi, Latin for year of the world or creation. In this case, it is the creation of man. The count of years is from Adam forward in linear format. The Gregorian calendar utilizes AD and BC to designate the years before or after Christ. AD or A.D. commonly refers to Anno Domini, Latin for In the Year of (Our) Lord, applied to years following 1 BC in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. BC or B.C. refers to before Christ, an epoch used in dating years prior to the estimated birth of Jesus used in the Julian and Gregorian calendars. There are no zero years. This dating system was

94 devised in 525, but was not widely used until after 800. (Wikipedia article titled Anno Domini) Other designations are ACE for after the Common Era and BCE for before the Common Era. Calculating BC dates is worked backwards from the birth of Christ. Unfortunately, not all dates agree, not even the year of Jesus s birth. My point here is that dates in the Common Era time or linear time are only general tools to help us along the road of history and truth. Focusing on dates can put the big picture out of focus. As with any calendar attempting to put dates to ancient history, it is well to remember that even Bible linear years can be off, plus or minus, though within a very small margin. Keep in mind that any calendar is merely a tool to aid in understanding and recording history and equally important in understanding Bible times and timing. With or without dates Daniel s prophecy is the official timing plan given by YHVH to Daniel. (Daniel 9:24-27) Chronological Order of the Bible It is important to understand Bible timelines because they are YaHavah s parameters to keep us within his plan. The serious Bible student must become familiar with the chronology of the main people and events of the Bible related to Jesus' genealogy and end time prophecies. A man of science once told me that he didn t have to read the Bible to know what is in it. He could put his hand on the Bible and know. His perception needed some tweaking. I had never read more than the first page of the Bible before I was forty. I wanted to read it, but I could not understand even that one page. After I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior, I could not stop reading it. My hunger was insatiable. In 2009 I developed the Word of YHVH Bible and included an introduction to the Bible titled Getting to Know Your Bible. I want everyone to have the chance to at least understand the Bible s structure and purpose. Granted, it isn t an academic work, but it can be understood by the youngest to the oldest reader and the Bible illiterate to the Bible scholar. When someone tries to steal the truth from you, just remember that the Bible feeds the hungry, heals the sick, and clothes the naked in garments of righteousness. The concept of following a linear calendar through the Bible is not new; there are many chronologies of this type. However, few have recognized the importance of the linear calendar for maintaining focus on essential people, events, and timing all the way to the return of Christ and New Jerusalem.

95 We begin from the beginning of human time with Adam. The following list is a synopsis of Bible timing. (AM ) The people in Jesus genealogy. This portion takes us from Adam who at age 130 fathered Seth, to Jacob (Israel) who, by age 130, had fathered twelve sons known as the twelve tribes of Israel and began an extended stay of 430 years in Egypt in servitude to Egyptian Pharaohs. (AM ) The time of Egyptian captivity and Wilderness journey of the twelve tribes of Israel (Jacob) (Genesis 14:17 through Exodus 1:1 40:38) (AM ) The time of Judges over the tribes and their wavering between righteous judges and oppression (Joshua 1:1-1Samuel 8:1-22) It is here that the Jewish Masoretic scholars fell short in their chronological timing from Adam. (AM ) The time of the United Kingdom of the twelve tribes with King Saul, King David, and King Solomon (1Samuel 9:1 through 1Kings 11:43) (AM ) The time of the split kingdom of Israel in the North (ten tribes in Syria) and Kingdom of Judah in the South (two tribes in Jerusalem) to the fall of Israel and dispersion of the ten tribes (1Kings 11:42 through 2Kings 17:6) (AM ) The beginning of the fall of Jerusalem (2Kings 18:1 through 2Kings 25:1-8) Daniel s prophecy of Four Beasts is instrumental in the starting point of YaHavah s calendar. The following list is a summary of the times for Daniel s Four Great Beasts in Daniel chapters 7, 8, and 11. (The asterisks ** below mark fulfilled prophecies) (AM ) The Babylonian captivity began with Nebuchadnezzar (first beast the lion). Later, Cyrus (first king of the second beast the bear) issued a decree to **restore Jerusalem (Daniel 9:24-25; Isaiah 44:24-28) and the temple which was completed in 3955 (Ezra 6:1) also completing the Babylonian captivity of seventy years from Darius I (second king of the second beast) reissues Cyrus decree after a long delay. The total captivity of Jerusalem was from AM Jerusalem was allowed to have its kings of Judah over Jerusalem, but Babylonian kings ruled over Judah s kings and the land.

96 In the Book of Revelation, YaHavah uses the title of Babylon, the mother of harlots to represent the captivity of the perpetual sin of Adam through every father. It is also in reference to the pollution of the throne in Jerusalem beginning with Solomon and the beginning of the four beasts of Daniel. The reason is sin against YaHavah. The people of Jerusalem did not give full honor to YaHavah through the celebration of the three Feasts of YHVH which are based on agricultural seasons and Sabbaths (resting in YaHavah on the seventh day, seventh year, and fiftieth year). Joel cried out because honor to YaHavah was taken away from the people during captivity. The end time Fourth Beast will do the same and more. The table for Sabbath year and Jubilee The three main Jewish National Feasts are shown below.

97 Begin The Seventy-Sevens of Daniel The Last Change in Counting Linear Years The seventy-sevens are based on Sabbath, which means rest. Bible Sabbaths are the seventh day for people, seventh year for land, and the fiftieth year for Jubilee Sabbath, also being a land and people Sabbath. (Leviticus 25:1-22) The seventy sevens calendar began in the first year of Cyrus, AM 3932 (539 BC) and continues to the end and New Jerusalem. From the beginning of the calendar to the birth of Christ is 450 years. Sabbath Linear to the End The Book of Daniel is critical to the understanding of end-time prophecy and of when the end-times begin and end. This is where many Bible interpreters have left the road to stumble in the forest. It seems there are as many interpretations as there are interpreters. However, the Bible says there is only one interpretation and that is the one we want to find. Daniels seventy-sevens provide a Sabbath format to create the Sabbath linear calendar, or seventy sevens calendar, or Bible calendar. This is the beginning of the right road to New Jerusalem. I call it Route 77 in honor of the seventy sevens. Daniel 9: Seventy weeks are determined upon your people and upon your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. 25 Know therefore and understand, [that] after the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem to the Messiah the Prince [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. 26a And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself. 26b The people of the prince that shall come shall batter and corrupt the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof [shall be] with a flood, and to the end of the war desolations are determined. 27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the tribute to cease, and because of the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] waste, even to the end, and that decreed shall be poured upon the ruined.

98 According to Daniel 9:25, the seventy weeks begins with Cyrus decree to restore Jerusalem and the temple. There are no other linear calendar changes from this point forward. The Sabbath linear timing will remain to the end counted in 49-year blocks of seven Land Sabbaths, regardless of the use of Jewish lunar calendars or the Gregorian calendar. I prefer to call the 49-year blocks Jubilee blocks in anticipation of the eternal Jubilee with our Lord and Savior. Note that the seventy sevens of weeks cannot end until Jesus returns to fulfill his prophesied millennial reign. The proof is in everlasting righteousness which Jesus will bring with him at his second coming. Only then, can there be no more sin, regardless of how many Bible scholars say sin was finished at the cross of Christ or at any other perceived time. The cross offers reconciliation to those who will accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. Even so, we have only to look at all the wars and other abominations toward YaHavah to see that everlasting righteousness is not yet here. Note, too, that none of Daniel s prophecies include any secret calling out for the Saints before, in the middle, or at the end of the last seven years as it is understood in many false teachings. The operative word is secret. As a matter of fact, the only secrets are the ones Satan has inspired to cause doubt of the truth. Jerusalem was released from the physical kingdom of Babylon only to step into a world filled with the spirit of Babylon the Bible calls the Mother of Harlots. This Babylonian captivity will remain in the world for all who reject the truth of Jesus until Jesus returns. The last seven years is the final sifting of all ethnic groups and people of all religious beliefs, including the then living Christians, which means the entire world population who are alive when the last seven years begins.

100 Pattern of the Seventy Sevens Prophecy We have arrived. We can now see what the Bible s calendar or YaHavah s calendar looks like. It is set and cannot be changed. Every black dot and bordered block is fulfilled prophecy, with the exception of the dot for year 2012 marked only as reference to where we were when I created this image. There is need of some clarification between the terms end-times, end-time, and last days. The table of 49-year boxes above is a birds-eye view of the years from AM , or 2,548 years. Its entirety is in the scope of the endtimes and what Jesus called this generation. The last seven years are waiting to be fulfilled; they are the last years or end-time. The block containing the last seven years could extend beyond what is shown in the image above. The time between the beginning of the 70th chronological week and the beginning of the prophetic 70th week is commonly referred to as the gap. Jesus was crucified at the beginning of the chronological 70th week and he will return at the end of the prophetic 70th week.
