Casting Down the Sacred-Pillars

When YEHOVAH sent Israel in to take the Promised Land, He told them to

cast down every idol and to cleanse the land of anything to do with false gods:

(Exo 23:20-30) "Behold, I am going to send an angel before you to guard

you along the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.

"Be on your guard before him and obey his voice; do not be rebellious

toward him, for he will not pardon your transgression, since My name is

in him. "But if you will truly obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will

be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries. "For

My angel will go before you and bring you in to the land of the Amorites,

the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites;

and I will completely destroy them. "You shall not worship their gods, nor

serve them, nor do according to their deeds; but you shall utterly

overthrow them, and break their sacred-pillars in pieces. "But you shall

serve YEHOVAH your GOD, and He will bless your bread and your water;

and I will remove sickness from your midst. "There shall be no one

miscarrying or barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.

"I will send My terror ahead of you, and throw into confusion all the people

among whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs

to you. "And I will send hornets ahead of you, that they may drive out the

Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites before you. "I will not drive them

out before you in a single year, that the land may not become desolate,

and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you. "I will drive them

out before you little by little, until you become fruitful and take possession

of the land.

YEHOVAH told His people, "You shall not worship their gods, nor serve

them, nor do according to their deeds; but you shall utterly overthrow

them, and break their sacred-pillars in pieces.” When we get involved in

worship based on the worship of ancient gods and perform practices that came

from mystery religions we are serving other gods besides YEHOVAH. He

commanded us to tear down these sacred idols and worship YEHOVAH only. If

we will do this then the blessings written in scripture will be ours.

YEHOVAH has shown me that the Promised Land is a picture of the

territory of our soul! Like the Promised Land, our soul is a gift, but we have to

fight for it. We have to run all of the ‘ites out of it, and we have to cast down and

destroy all the idols that dwell within, just as Israel had to do when it was tasked

to take the Promised Land. If we refuse to fight then we can lose our soul. The

book of Revelations has a lot to say about this:

(Rev 2:7) 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the

churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life,

which is in the Paradise of GOD.'

(Rev 2:11) 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the

churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.'

(Rev 2:17) 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the

churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden

manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the

stone which no one knows but he who receives it.'

(Rev 2:26) 'And he who overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the

end, TO HIM I WILL GIVE AUTHORITY OVER THE NATIONS;

(Rev 3:5) 'He who overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments;

and I will not erase his name from the book of life, and I will confess his

name before My Father, and before His angels.

(Rev 3:21) 'He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

The word overcome is an action word. It means that we have to take some

form of action to inherit the Kingdom. As you can see, we have to fight to take

the territory of our souls and overcome the lies of the enemy so that we can serve

the true GOD. Joshua 24:14 says, "Now, therefore, fear YEHOVAH and serve Him

in sincerity and truth; and put away the gods which your fathers served beyond

the River and in Egypt, and serve YEHOVAH.” 1 Samuel 12:24 tells us, "Only fear

YEHOVAH and serve Him in truth with all your heart; for consider what great

things He has done for you.”

We live in a culture that is full of sacred-pillars, sometimes called sacred

cows. These are false religious beliefs that YEHOVAH tells us to tear down. They

surround us in the world in which we live and they come at us from every

direction. While we are still exile we may not be able to cast pillars down in the

society where we live, but we can cast them down in our own soul and in our

own hearts. It is very important to work daily to find the truths that cast down

and destroys the sacred-pillars that have surrounded us and cleanse our hearts.

Nephilim and Demigod Worship

One of these sacred-pillars that needs to be torn down is demigod and

goddess worship. At the heart of every false religion is the fascination and

worship of demigods and goddesses. There are several ways this is manifest in

the Christian faith. One of these is through the fascination with the nephilim.

Most Christians believe that fallen angelic beings came down and mated with the

“daughters of men” and produced a race of giants.

The other evening I watched as one of Christianity’s best-known teachers

spend over two hours attempting to prove the existence of these demigods or

nephilim. What was telling is that he could not prove his point using scripture

so he turned to quoting extra Biblical sources and the writing of the early Church

fathers to make his case. This is never a good idea because these sources are

unreliable and full of mythology. All but a hand full of the early Church fathers

had already perverted the true faith adding in aspects of their old mystery

religions. The only thing that can accurately interpret scripture is scripture.

The Biblical reference to the nephilim is Genesis 6:1-4:

Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of GOD saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves,

whomever they chose. Then YEHOVAH said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be

one hundred and twenty years." The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of GOD came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who

were of old, men of renown.

People want to believe that this scripture is about the “Nephilim” who are

a breed of angelic beings who had sexual relations with humans and caused half

angel half man creatures to walk the earth with supernatural powers of gods.

This idea is a complete corruption of scripture and is born out of the same

mysticism that has corrupted the faith of YEHOVAH for centuries. This idea is

something straight out of the mythology that is at the center of all false religion.

The word nephilim comes from the Hebrew word nef-eel', which is defined

in the Strong’s as: “properly, a feller, that is, a bully or tyrant: - giant.” A nephilim is

what we would call a person of ill repute, or someone who is infamous, or a

tyrant. It is someone like the many brutal dictators that have ruled on earth.

These dictators care nothing for his fellow man, for GOD or for the Law of GOD.

These are tyrants like Hitler and Napoleon. Both of these men were brutal

tyrants. Both of them were small men in physical stature, yet they were giants

in their infamous deeds. Nephilim is just a Hebrew word that means sinner. Sin

is rebellion towards God, so a nephilim is someone who is in rebellion against

GOD.

It could not be a half human-half angel because YEHOVAH commanded

that the animals would only reproduce after their own kind: (Gen 1:24-25) Then

GOD said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after their kind: cattle and

creeping things and beasts of the earth after their kind"; and it was so. And GOD

made the beasts of the earth after their kind, and the cattle after their kind, and

everything that creeps on the ground after its kind; and GOD saw that it was

good.” As you can see from this scripture, the genetic code will not allow us to

cross breed. It is obvious that man is attempting to break this code so that he

can pervert what GOD has created. It is doubtful that YEHOVAH will ever allow

the genetic code to be broken because the consequences of degenerate beings

having the genetic code would be too disastrous.

By keeping scripture in context, it is easy to understand what GOD is

telling us about the Nephilim. To start you need to understand some of the

history that led up to the account of the Nephilim. When Adam and Eve had

children, their children tended to be either good or evil, such as in the story of

Cain and Abel, where Abel was good and Cain was evil. What the story of the

Nephilim is actually about, contrary to popular belief, is the story of how these

two lines of good and of evil offspring of Adam intermingled leading to a human

race who allowed evil to dominate the earth. This intermingling of good and evil

created a world where evil was so rampant that GOD had to destroy all flesh.

The human race was no longer redeemable.

The above scripture explained this intermingling of the good and the bad

descendants of Adam, “Now it came about, when men began to multiply on

the face of the land, and daughters were born to them, that the sons of

GOD saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives

for themselves, whomever they chose.” When the Sons of GOD, who were

Adams good offspring, took wives from the sons of men, who were from Adams

evil offspring, it caused all of humanity to become evil.

The sons of GOD were not angelic beings from heaven as so prominently

taught. Throughout the Bible, those who follow GOD are always called the sons

of GOD. Deu 14:1, Mat 5:9, Luk 20:36 and many more refer to those who follow

GOD as the sons of GOD. Those who do not follow GOD are the sons of men

because they follow manmade virtues and not GOD’s.

When you follow the flow of the verses that precede Genesis 6:1-4 you will

see that the Lord is documenting the offspring of Adam. Because Adam had

partaken of the tree of the knowledge good and evil his nature was now a

combination of good and evil as implied by the fruit of the tree of the knowledge

of good and evil. Adam was not completely good or completely evil he was a

mixture. This was manifest in Adam’s children, who tended to have either a good

nature or an evil nature, such as Cain and Abel. Cain had an evil nature and

ended up murdering Abel who had a good nature. Later Seth was born and he

replaced the good-natured Abel.

In the scriptures leading up to the Nephilim, GOD is listing all of the

righteous and unrighteous seed of Adam. These two lines of Adam’s seed are

documented in Genesis 4 & 5. Genesis 4 is the documentation the evil line of

Cain who was called the sons of men because they did not walk with GOD.

Genesis 5 is the documentation of the righteous line of Seth who was called the

sons of GOD because they obeyed GOD.

In our verse about the Nephilim, we see that these two lines of Adams

offspring began to intermingle. For some ill-fated reason the sons of GOD, which

were the righteous seed of Seth, decided not to continue to keep their line pure

and they began to take the sons of men, or the unrighteous seed of Cain as wives.

These unrighteous wives began to draw the righteous men away from GOD.

There are other examples of unrighteous wives leading their righteous

husbands astray in the Bible, such as King Solomon. We see this in 1Kings 11:1-

8 “And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines,

and his wives turned his heart away. For it came about when Solomon was old,

his wives turned his heart away after other gods; and his heart was not wholly

devoted to YEHOVAH his GOD, as the heart of David his father had been.” This is

what happened to the sons of GOD as they took ungodly wives, they were drawn

away from GOD.

The result was that there was no longer a righteous line of people on the

earth. Sin became so rampant on the earth that GOD said, “man’s heart sins

continuously.” Eventually there was no line between good and evil. By

continuously intermingling the line of good and evil all flesh had become evil.

Instead of a clear line of good and Godly people that GOD could use to populate

the earth, all men were now evil. This resulted in the rise of the infamous bullies,

the nephilim who were leaders that did exceedingly wicked things.

When YAH said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, because

he also is flesh; nevertheless his days shall be one hundred and twenty

years,” He was pronouncing judgment on the earth. In one hundred and twenty

years from this date when YEHOVAH had visited the earth, He was going to

destroy all flesh on the earth. This means that when YAH came down and made

this judgement it was one hundred and twenty years prior to the flood. So prior

to this date, there were nephilim on the earth, and for the next one hundred and

twenty years, there were nephilim on the earth, then YEHOVAH destroyed all

flesh by the flood.

Luckily, Noah found favor with YEHOVAH and he and his family were to

be passed over from this judgment. YEHOVAH gave Noah instructions to build

the ark, so Noah spent the next one hundred and twenty years building the ark

and preparing for the flood.

The question then becomes, why is this important? For one thing, we are

to live in all truth. The mysticism of the nephilim has become a huge attraction

as Satan sways men away from truth. This idea of half man-half angelic beings

roaming the earth has become the major theme of the so-called Bible prophecy

experts. They spend all of their time and energy on the subject of the nephilim,

which has no bearing on our relationship with GOD or our salvation. We need to

be aware that the worship of demigods creeps into all false religion.

The truth that scripture is trying to convey is that we need to repent and

walk with GOD. It is a warning that YEHOVAH is the GOD who judges men and

judgment is coming! This is the message!

The second reason it is important is that we need to understand that this

same thing has happened after the flood. The corrupt nature that entered Adam

when he sinned came across the flood through Noah and his sons. As a result,

man has resurrected the rebellion of antediluvian people. Nephilim are again on

the earth today, but they are not half angel half-man beings, they are just evil

men who hate GOD. Sin once again runs rampant on the earth and man has

nothing on his heart except evil. Yeshua told us that the end times would be just

as it was in the days of Noah, and it is.

We need to understand that we all have some of the nature of the nephilim

that dwells within us. Because we do, we need a covenant that will provide a

savior that can deal with this evil. A covenant that provides a sacrifice that pays

for our sins so that YEHOVAH can pass over our sins the way He did Noah. A

Holy GOD cannot tolerate sin, and because we all have evil that dwells within,

we need a savior. The Law of GOD provides us with a Savior, “Behold the Lamb

of GOD who came to take away our sins,” Yeshua, “The Passover Lamb,” Yeshua,

“the quickening spirit.” This Lamb is provided to us when we enter into the ark,

the Ark of the Covenant. Enter into that Ark so that you can be passed over the

way Noah was passed over.

The True Christian Creed

Another sacred-pillar is what I am calling, “The True Christian Creed.” Few

people are aware of this creed and few understand the power that this creed has

over the Christian.

A creed is a set of fundamental beliefs, or guiding principle that are

established by a church. Every denomination of Christianity publishes its creed

so that people will know what their beliefs are. What is not understood is that

there is an invisible creed, which undergirds the creed of every denomination in

Christianity. No one is aware of this creed, but it affects every aspect of the

Christians walk with GOD. It blinds people to many truths affecting the way they

see scripture, and therefore it affects what their denominational creed becomes.

In the Roman Empire, as the Faith of Yeshua started to gain popularity, a

competition went on between those who wanted to keep their ancient practices,

dressing them up to look biblical, and those who wanted to keep the pure Faith

of Yeshua Messiah. One of these competitions was over the day of worship.

Constantine was emperor of Rome from AD 306 to 337. He was a sun worshiper

during the first years of his reign. Later, he professed conversion to Christianity,

but at heart remained a devotee of the sun. Edward Gibbon says, “The Sun was

universally celebrated as the invincible guide and protector of Constantine.”

Constantine created the earliest Sunday law known to history in AD 321.

This was the decree:

On the venerable Day of the sun let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and

let all workshops be closed. In the country, however, persons engaged in agriculture may

freely and lawfully continue their pursuits: because it often happens that another Day is

not so suitable for grain sowing or for vine planting: lest by neglecting the proper moment

for such operations the bounty of heaven should be lost.

Chamber’s Encyclopedia says, “Unquestionably the first law, either ecclesiastical

or civil, by which the Sabbatical observance of that Day is known to have been

ordained, is the edict of Constantine, 321 A.D.”

Following this initial legislation, both emperors and Popes in succeeding

centuries added other laws to strengthen Sunday observance. What began as a

pagan ordinance ended being Christian regulation. The times and seasons that

YEHOVAH had ordained in His word were being changed.

Close on the heels of the Edict of Constantine followed the Catholic Church

Council of Laodicea (circa 364 AD), which says, “Christians shall not Judaize and be idle

on Saturday (Sabbath), but shall work on that Day: but the Lord’s Day, they shall especially honor;

and as being Christians, shall, if possible, do no work on that day. If however, they are found

Judaizing, they shall be shut out from Christ.” By this time the name Christian had

become a generic word that referred to all those who followed the savior of the

Roman Catholic Church. There was a clear distinction between those who were

following the original faith and those who were following the Roman form of

worship.

Eventually the form of worship that the Roman Church performed had

nothing to do with the Bible. This led to what I am calling the true Christian

creed. What you are about to read is not necessarily a creed; however, I am

calling it a creed because it displays the underlying spirit peddled by

Christianity.

”I renounce all customs, rites, legalisms, unleavened breads and sacrifices of lambs of the

Hebrews, and all the other feasts of the Hebrews, sacrifices, prayers, aspirations,

purifications, sanctifications, and propitiations, and fasts and new moons, and Sabbaths,

and superstitions, and hymns and chants, and observances and synagogues. absolutely

everything Jewish, every Law, rite and custom and if afterwards I shall wish to deny and

return to Jewish superstition, or shall be found eating with Jews, or feasting with them,

or secretly conversing and condemning the Christian religion instead of openly confuting

them and condemning their vain faith, then let the trembling of Cain and the leprosy of

Gehazi cleave to me, as well as the legal punishments to which I acknowledge myself

liable. And may I be an anathema in the world to come, and may my soul be set down

with Satan and the devils.” (Stcfano Assemani, Acta Sanctorium Martyrum Orientalium

at Occidentalium, Vol. 1, Rome 1748, page 105)

As you can see, this creed banned everything that YEHOVAH requires of

us if we are to worship Him according to scripture. This was not only anti-

Semitism, but it was also anti-Christ, replacing the true Messiah with a false.

This statement expresses the underlying sentiment of the Christian Church as

a hole. In other words, the new faith, based on the Roman form, would worship

a messiah of its own making and they would do away with the GOD of the Bible,

His Law, His people and the Jewish Messiah who represents them. Christianity

had rejected the Faith that the Apostles taught and they rejected the GOD of the

Bible. They created their own new religion around the concept of a savior of their

own making. In doing so, they included many of the practices from the old

mystery religions. They claimed to use the Bible as the central point of their

religion, but they only gave the Bible lip service.

This attitude is further demonstrated in this letter from Jerome to

Augustine, two of the early Church fathers:

In our own day there exists a sect among the Jews throughout all the synagogues of the

East, which is called the sect of the Minei, and is even now condemned by the Pharisees.

The adherents to this sect are known commonly as Nazarenes; they believe in Christ the

Son of God, ‘born of, the Virgin Mary; and they say that He who suffered under Pontius

Pilate and rose again, is the same as the one in whom we believe. But while they desire

to be both Jews and Christians, they are neither the one nor the other. ...

If, however, there is for us no alternative but to receive the Jews into the Church, along

with the usages prescribed by their law; if, in short, it shall be declared lawful for them to

continue in the Churches of Christ what they have been accustomed to practice in the

synagogues of Satan, I will tell you my opinion of the matter: they will not become

Christians, but they will make us Jews.

Jerome, in a letter to Augustine (AD 404) Letters of St. Augustine, Second Division, Letter 75, Chapter 4

published in The Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, First Series, vol. 1, p.654

It has to be understood that the sect called the Nazarenes were the

believers who were still keeping the faith as it was taught by the Apostles. This

was the original messianic faith that was created in the book of Acts. It was

initially all of Jewish origin and later the gentiles were included. They were

following the true Messiah and they kept Torah.

This letter underscores the separation that took place as the Church of

Rome broke off to become something very different then the faith that was

created by the Messiah and that we see in the book of Acts. Here Jerome

expresses his fear of being grafted into the Commonwealth of Israel and

becoming a Jew, saying that the Jews should leave their faith to be involved in

the pagan practices of Christianity. (The use of the word Jew had become a

generic term to mean anything Hebrew even back then.)

The Apostles made it abundantly clear that the gentile is grafted into the

Common Wealth of Israel and not the other way around. Jerome wished to have

it the other way and have the Jew leave the Common Wealth of Israel to enter

the Church that he professed.

This religion created by Constantine and his Church, and that was being

practiced by Jerome and Augustine, is still what Christianity practices today. If

you consider yourself Christian the spiritual undertones of the above letters is

what drives you, whether you realize it or not. As dictated by this true creed,

Christianity still denies all that is Hebrew. It still refuses to keep the Sabbaths,

which includes the weekly Sabbath, Passover and Tabernacles. Instead, it

continues to whore after the Sun God by worshiping on the Venerable Day of the

Sun God, Sunday; to whore after Easter, the bare breasted goddess of fertility

and sexual desire; and to whore after Nicolaus the reincarnate of Nimrod.

If you consider yourself Christian then you are bound by this creed. It is

difficult to express the power that this creed has over the Christian. The power

that this creed has over the Christian is why the Protestant Reformation was not

effective. The reformers continued to think of themselves as Christians and this

bound them to this creed. As a result, they continued to keep the same practices

as the Mother Church.

If you consider yourself a Christian then this is the creed you live by and

you are bound to it whether you want to admit it or not. This creed is why

Christianity has always considered itself a separate entity from Israel. This creed

is the root of replacement theology. This creed is why Christians cannot accept

the fact that God’s Law is still valid and why Christianity cannot reform and

return to the Hebrew roots of the Bible. This creed is why the Church continues

to use the Greek name Jesus instead of returning to His proper Hebrew name

Yeshua. It is also why, the biggest persecutors of the Jews throughout the

centuries has been Christianity. All of this takes place because Christians are

bound spiritually by this creed.

By the way, if you continue in the practices of the faith created by

Constantine and the Holy Roman Empire, as Christians still do, then the curses

stated in this decree are what you have to look forward to, because one reaps

what one sows.

When we become members of the Kingdom of GOD through Yeshua

Messiah, He does not graft us into the Christian society, He grafts us into the

olive tree. That tree is the Commonwealth of Israel. It is obvious after reading

this creed that Christianity became its own tree. To be part of God’s Kingdom

you have to come out of Christianity and renounce the creed and the false rights

that it enacts. Then you have to embrace the Law of GOD so the true Lamb can

bring you salvation. The Lamb of GOD cannot act outside of the bounds of the

Law of His Kingdom. If you do not accept the Law, He cannot legally act on your

behalf.

The Apostle Paul made it very clear that when we accept the true Messiah

He grafts us into the Common Wealth of Israel, not into a Christian Society.

Ephesians 2:12-13, says, “…remember that you were at that time separate from

Messiah, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the

covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in

Messiah Yeshua you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the

blood of Messiah.” It is plain to see that Paul is telling the Ephesians that when

they accepted Messiah they were brought into the Commonwealth of Israel and

into the covenants of Israel. Torah/Law sets forth those covenants. If you

continue to consider yourself Christian, instead of an Israelite then you will find

salvation impossible to obtain because you have separated yourself from

YEHOVAH’s covenants.

If you were baptized in the name of Jesus, you were not baptized into the

Commonwealth of Israel you were baptized into the society of Christianity.

Universally Christianity considers itself a separate entity from Israel. To enter

the Kingdom of YEHOVAH, one must renounce Christianity with its false

doctrines, creeds, and false messiah to be baptized into the Commonwealth of

Israel in the name of the true Messiah, Yeshua, which means, “YEHOVAH is

salvation.”

The Rib

(Gen 2:21-25) So YEHOVAH GOD caused a deep sleep to fall upon the

man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh at

that place. And YEHOVAH GOD fashioned into a woman the rib, which He

had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. And the man said,

"This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called

Woman, because she was taken out of Man.".

Most people are familiar with the story of how YEHOVAH formed Eve from

the rib of Adam. I am not going to rehash this story. My purpose is to tie it into

an even deeper story that the Bible does not explicitly spell out. When one follows

the types and shadows of the Bible, the story that I am about to tell will jump

out at you. Along the way, we are going to cast down a few more sacred-pillars.

This act of taking something out of someone’s side to create life is played

out other times in the Bible. Another example of this at the crucifixion of Yeshua

Messiah as told in John 19:34, “But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a

spear, and immediately blood and water came out.” This act was prophesied by

Isaiah, in Isaiah 53:5 “But He was pierced through for our transgressions…,” Our

salvation was taken out of the side of Yeshua. When the blood and water came

out of the side of Yeshua it was our salvation. The blood to pay the price for our

sins and the water to cleans us.

There is another time when our salvation was taken out of someone’s side.

It was not so explicitly written out, but the types and shadows of the Bible point

to it. In order to see this hidden time when life was taken from YEHOVAH’s side

we have to look at John 1:1-14. As we go through this scripture, you will notice

that in parenthesis there will be a gender change noted. In early translations of

the Bible, you will see that the “word” was an “it” before the birth of Yeshua, then

after he was born, the “word” became a “He.” Because of the popularity of the

doctrine of the pre-existent Christ, later translations began showing the gender

of the “word” as being a “He” both before and after the birth of Yeshua. Using the

Geneva and the King James translations for comparison, I noted in parentheses

how these changes differed between the early and later translations. There is an

(O) for old translation and an (N) for newer translations. Again, you will notice

that in the original translations, prior to Yeshua being born, the “word” was an

“it” but in the later translations, the word was a “He”:

(John 1:1-14) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with

GOD, and the Word was GOD. (ItO) (HeN) was in the beginning with GOD.

All things came into being through (itO) (HeN) and apart from (itO) (HeN)

nothing came into being that has come into being. In (itO) (HeN) was life,

and the life was the Light of men. The Light shines in the darkness, and

the darkness did not comprehend it…..There was the true Light which,

coming into the world, enlightens every man. He (This is where the gender

changed to He in the old transitions) was in the world, and the world was

made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own,

and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received

Him, to them He gave the right to become children of GOD, even to those

who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the

flesh nor of the will of man, but of GOD. And the Word became flesh, and

dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from

the Father, full of grace and truth.

This scripture tells us about the “word,” and where the “word comes” from.

Where “it” is in parentheses is how these scriptures were originally translated.

As you can see, in early translations the “word” was an “it” until Yeshua was

born and then the “word” became a “He.” Because of the force of bias towards

manmade doctrines, this translation changed over time to fit the bias of these

false doctrines. Keep this in mind as we go through this.

“In the beginning was the Word.” Let us examine what the “word” is.

The word “word” has a very broad meaning. When someone gives you their word,

they are making a promise. When a sovereign sends forth his word, he is making

a commandment. When one uses the word, they are teaching or instructing.

When one keeps his word, he is being faithful. When one follows the word, they

are being obedient. The word is a promise, assurance, guarantee, a declaration,

a communication, a conversation, an announcement, information, a command,

an order, an admonishment, an expression of love, and an enticement. All of

these things and more are in the written form of GOD’s Word, the Torah.

We saw that, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with

GOD, and the Word was GOD. It was in the beginning with GOD. All things

came into being through it, and apart from it nothing came into being that

has come into being.” We all know that Yeshua is the word that became flesh

and dwelt among us. How could Yeshua the “word” be there in the beginning

when He had not been born yet?

Most modern Bible expositors will tell you that Yeshua was a preexisting

god who was with the Father even before the beginning of time. The Idea that

Yeshua was already alive and then begotten is nothing but the mystery religions

of the world creeping into the faith as part of the great falling away that was

foretold by the Apostles.

There is an answer to how Yeshua, the “word” was there from the

beginning but had not been born yet. The answer is, before He laid the

foundations of the earth, YEHOVAH gave us His “word.” He gave us His promise,

assurance, guarantee, declaration, communication, admonishment, expression

of love, enticement, and above all, He promised that all those who would be

faithful He would save.

When the time was right, in order to keep His word, YEHOVAH, the GOD

of covenant, reached into His own side and extracted the word from the

innermost parts of His being. He extracted His promise, assurance, guarantee,

declaration, communication, announcement, information, commandment,

admonishment, expressions of love and enticement (His word). He formed the

word and planted it in the DNA of Adam. Many years later, the sinless Yeshua

came to the Jordan to be baptized, and when He was born again, the word

became flesh. “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we

saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace

and truth.” Yeshua became the walking and talking Torah, the word of GOD.

Yeshua became GOD’s promise, assurance, guarantee, declaration,

communication, announcement, information, commandment, admonishment,

expressions of love and enticement. Yeshua is the ultimate expression of

YEHOVAH’s word to us.

This is how, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with

GOD, and the Word was GOD. It was in the beginning with GOD. All things

came into being through it, and apart from it nothing came into being that

has come into being.” In the beginning was the promise of YEHOVAH to

mankind. In His foresight YAH new that man would fall, so at the time of creation

YAH gave us His promise that He would give us a means of redemption. YAH

reached into His own side and extracted His word or promise from His innermost

parts, and then He formed His word so that He could place it within Adam. The

word traveled down through the generations where it culminated into the man

Yeshua who was born of the flesh. Thus, “the word was in the beginning, all

things came into being through it, and apart from it, nothing came into

being.” When Yeshua was born again, the word became manifest and

YEHOVAH’s promise came into being.

As you can see, this throws down the sacred-pillar by saying that Yeshua

was not preexistent. Following are some excerpts from an article written by John

D. Keyser, which goes further into this subject:

YEHOVAH’s Shekinah Glory Since the publication of the King James Version of the Bible in 1611 this, and almost

all versions that have stemmed from it, have attached the masculine gender to the

Greek concept of the "Logos" to explain the presence of the Shekinah Glory at the

Creation. Unfortunately, due to this gender change, and the modern Christian's lack of

understanding of the Logos concept in the environment of 1st. century Greek philosophy,

most have blindly taken the "Word" to mean a pre-existence of Yeshua the HaMeshach!

Nothing could be further from the truth!

Any one of the eight English translations of the Bible prior to 1611 (the Tyndale Bible

(1535), the Matthew Bible (1535), the Taverner Bible (1539), the Great (Cranmer's) Bible

(1539), the Whittingham Bible (1557), the Geneva Bible (1560) and Bishop's Bible (1568))

assign no gender to the "Word" and simply call it "it," such as in John 1:3: "By IT all things

were made. Without IT nothing was made." This seems like a strange way of referring to

Yeshua the Messiah! John nowhere indicates that this "Word" or "Logos" is anything else

but the Shekinah Glory of YEHOVAH god!

Finally, in Revelation 1:2, "the Word of GOD" is clearly separated from the Messiah

-- notice! “This is the revelation which GOD gave to Yeshua the Messiah, so that he could

show his servants what must happen very soon. He communicated it by sending his angel

to his servant Yochanan [John], who bore witness to THE WORD OF GOD AND to the

testimony of Yeshua the Messiah....” Most of the Bible expositors think that "In the

beginning was the Word...and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:1,

14) shows conclusively that the Word of verse 1 must be Yeshua the Messiah. They think

that "In the beginning was Yeshua...and Yeshua was made flesh," that is, the pre-existent

Messiah emptied himself of his divinity and became a human being! This is the surface

conclusion reached by most of the Bible expositors -- until the CONTEXT is properly

evaluated.

In the first verse it says: THE WORD WAS GOD. Who was this GOD? Was it the Father

(YEHOVAH) or the Son (Yeshua)? John plainly tells us who "the Word" was. He says the

Word was GOD. Now we must find out who GOD is, and we will then know who or what

"the Word" is. In verse 18 of this same chapter John tells us that "GOD" is the Father

(YEHOVAH) -- NOT Yeshua the only begotten Son. If we believe what John is saying (that

"GOD" is the Father), then let us examine the scriptures back to verse 1. In verse 13 "GOD"

must refer to the Father (YEHOVAH) -- likewise in verse 12. In verse 2 we find "GOD" again.

Staying in context with John 1:18, John tells us that "GOD" is the Father (YEHOVAH) -- NOT

the Son. Verse 1 has the word "GOD" two times. Again, staying in context with verse 18,

we find John telling us that "GOD" is the FATHER, not the Son!

According to John, there is only ONE entity -- although appearing in different forms

-- mentioned in John 1:1. And that One is YEHOVAH GOD the Father, the Almighty

Creator!

In John 1:14 this same "Word" that was an integral part of YEHOVAH GOD the

Father (since the "Word" was with or in the Father) anointed His human Son Yeshua. The

"Word" in John 1:14 was not a pre-existing Yeshua. The "Word" -- or "Shekinah Glory" of

YEHOVAH GOD the Father anointed Yeshua, the second Adam. A similar event occurred

previously when the "Shekinah Glory" of YEHOVAH GOD the Father produced a fleshly

tabernacle for the first Adam.

What we have learned from this article by Mr. Keyser is that the word is

our Father YEHOVAH administered through His Shekinah Glory. He gave His

word prior to creation. He created Adam to be a vehicle for His word, but Adam

failed. Through Abraham He re-announced His word. Through Israel, He

established the people to whom the word would be served. Through the Law He

formalized His word. Through Yeshua, His word came to fruition and His

Shekinah found a home. Now, if we will believe His word, then we can also believe

that the Shekinah Glory can enter us through the blood of the Lamb.

The Shekinah Glory was there in the beginning, and that is why the

Apostles could make the statement, “In the beginning was the word, and the

word was with GOD, and the word was GOD.” The word was with GOD in the

form of being GOD’s promise, assurance, guarantee, declaration,

communication, admonishment, expression of love, and enticement in the form

of the Shekinah Glory. When John baptized Yeshua, the Shekinah Glory entered

Him, he was born again, and the word was manifest in the flesh and walked

among us. Yeshua is the final expression of GOD’s “word” to us. Yeshua is

Yehovah’s promise, assurance, guarantee, declaration, communication,

admonishment, expression of love, an enticement. It is through Yeshua, the

Lamb of GOD that we are enticed to come to GOD.

It is a common problem with western Bible expositors to interject aspects

worldly religious mysticism into their exposes on the Bible. This is where this

concept of a pre-existing Christ comes from. The world wants a demigod to

worship. Unfortunately, mysticism is embedded into all of our thinking because

of the environment in which we have grown up.

So if Yeshua was not pre-existent then who were the angels that false

teachers claim to be the pre-incarnate Christ? The answer to that is easy. First,

a few terms need to be cleared up to remove popular misconceptions before we

can answer this question. First, one needs to understand that these people who

are thought of as being the pre-existent Messiah were not the pre-existing

Messiah Himself, but instead they were a type and shadow of the Messiah. They

were a picture of the beauty, power and authority of the Messiah to come.

It is important to define what an angel is. Out of the Strong’s the word

angel means: “From an unused root meaning to dispatch as a deputy; a messenger;

specifically of God, that is, an angel (also a prophet, priest or teacher): - ambassador,

angel, king, messenger.” There is a perception that the word angel is always

referring to a heavenly being, but as you can see, there is nothing in the definition

indicating that. In reality, the angels spoken of in the Bible are rarely heavenly

beings. In the rare case that they are, we are told so in the script. These angles,

who we have been taught to be the pre-existed Messiah, were men, and these

men were types and shadows of the Messiah to come.

The most commonly known “angel of the Lord” is the angel who brought

judgment to Sodom and Gomorra. Most Christian Bible expositors call this the

pre-incarnate Christ. Another word coined for this is a theophany. A theophany

is a visible manifestation of a deity. Most modern Bible teachers claim that this

angel was the pre-incarnate Christ who visibly came in the flesh prior to being

born by the Virgin Mary. This is nonsense.

Jewish literature claims that this person called Melchizedek was actually

Shem, the righteous son of Noah. The word Melchizedek is a title that means

“Righteous King.” Shem lived six hundred years and died when Abraham was

one hundred and fifty years old. It is not hard to believe that Shem could have

still been alive at this time since he was born prior to the flood when life spans

were very long, and because he lived a righteous life full of GOD’s blessings. All

of this added up to a long life span for Shem. Shem the Melchizedek was a type

and shadow of Yeshua Messiah, the righteous King, who YAH has assigned to

bring judgment to the earth.

It was most likely the preaching of Shem that caused Abraham to turn his

faith to YEHOVAH. It is well known that Abraham’s father was an idol maker

and that Abraham grew up among idol worship. How else would he have heard

the truth?

Another and lesser-known angel is the angel who would lead Israel out of

captivity and into the Promised Land. We see this in Exodus 23:20-21, which

says, “Behold, I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way,

and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. “Be on your guard before

him and obey his voice; do not be rebellious toward him, for he will not pardon

your transgression, since My name is in him.” This angel of the Lord was Moses.

Moses was a type and shadow of Yeshua. He was sent to set the nation of Israel

free, escort them to the wilderness and then mediate their wedding with

YEHOVAH. After Moses died, the office of angel of the Lord was given to Joshua.

Joshua was the one who took the Israelites across the Jordan River into the

Promised Land for the first time. Joshua’s actual Hebrew name is Yeshua.

Yeshua means, “YEHOVAH is salvation.” YEHOVAH’s name was in the angel of

the Lord who took the people into the Promised Land. Joshua is a type and

shadow of Yeshua Messiah who will lead His people into the Promised Land for

the final time. These are just a few examples of GOD’s angels or messengers who

have given us the message of the coming of the Messiah.

Yeshua, GOD Almighty

Now that we have established that Yeshua is not preexistent, this brings

up the obvious question, “is Yeshua GOD?” One would think that to be a GOD

Yeshua would have to have been preexistent. To be GOD, would it not mean that

there is no beginning and end to your existence? Also, many scriptures call

Yeshua GOD. So how is Yeshua GOD if He is not preexistent? Here goes another

sacred-pillar!

We find the answer in the story of Joseph. Most people are familiar with

the story of Joseph, how Joseph interpreted the dreams of the Pharaoh, and how

the Pharaoh set Joseph to be the Prime Minister of the land of Egypt. This is the

account of it in Genesis 41:38-45:

Then Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find a man like this, in whom

is a divine spirit?" So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since GOD has informed

you of all this, there is no one so discerning and wise as you are. "You

shall be over my house, and according to your command all my people

shall do homage; only in the throne I will be greater than you." And

Pharaoh said to Joseph, "See I have set you over all the land of Egypt."

Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's

hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen, and put the gold necklace

around his neck. And he had him ride in his second chariot; and they

proclaimed before him, "Bow the knee!" And he set him over all the land of

Egypt. Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Though I am Pharaoh, yet

without your permission no one shall raise his hand or foot in all the land

of Egypt." Then Pharaoh named Joseph Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave

him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, as his wife. And

Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.

As you can see, the Pharaoh made Joseph his right hand man and gave

him all power to handle all the affairs of Egypt. As long as Joseph did according

to the will of the Pharaoh, he had all of the power of the Pharaoh. If you were

dealing with Joseph, you were dealing with the Pharaoh. In Egypt, the people

considered Pharaoh to be god, so, if you were dealing with Joseph you were

dealing with god. Pharaoh gave Joseph all the power and authority as god over

Egypt. As such, Joseph and the Pharaoh became one in the same. Joseph

became god, as Pharaoh was god.

It is in this same way that Yeshua is GOD Almighty. Luke 22:69 tells us,

"But from now on THE SON OF MAN WILL BE SEATED AT THE RIGHT HAND of

the power OF GOD." If you are dealing with Yeshua then you are dealing with

YEHOVAH, GOD Almighty Himself.

YEHOVAH and Yeshua are one in the same person because it is Yeshua’s

only desire to do the will of the Father. We see this in John 14:9-12, “Yeshua

said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know

Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how do you say, 'Show us

the Father'? "Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me?

The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father

abiding in Me does His works. "Believe Me that I am in the Father, and the Father

in Me; otherwise believe on account of the works themselves.” Because Yeshua is

in the Father and the Father is in Yeshua, if you are coming to Yeshua, you are

coming to the Father because they are one.

In light of this, the following verse is very telling. This verse is often used

to say that Yeshua was the preexistent GOD, but this is a falsehood: “For a child

will be born to us, a son will be given to us; and the government will rest on His

shoulders; and His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty GOD, Eternal

Father, Prince of Peace. There will be no end to the increase of His government or

of peace, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold

it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of

YEHOVAH of hosts will accomplish this.” (Isa 9:6-7) As you can see this verse is

telling us that His name “will be called Mighty GOD,” it does not say that He is

GOD, but that He is called GOD. The reason for this wording is that it paints the

proper picture of who Yeshua is. He is a man who has been given the position of

GOD. He is called GOD by virtue of His position at the right hand of the Father.

YEHOVAH gave Yeshua all power and authority as GOD. He gave Him

eternal life and all supernatural power. All of the power of YEHOVAH is at

Yeshua’s disposal. If you are dealing with Yeshua, you are dealing with GOD

Almighty. If you approach the man Yeshua, I would recommend that you refer

to Him as GOD Almighty because the Father has given him all power and all

glory.

The Virginal Birth

As I explained earlier, goddess and demigod worship is at the heart of all

false religion. The virginal birth is one of the ways this has been manifest in

Christianity. When I say virgin birth I am talking about the idea that YEHOVAH

overshadowed the Virgin Mary and planted the seed of the Messiah into her

whom. Many call this the “virginal birth”.

If Christianity is correct, and there is a virginal birth, then one would have

to conclude that GOD had sex with Mary. In the Bible that I read, having sex

with someone that you are not married to is a sin. Mary was betrothed to Joseph,

how much more scandalous is that. How could YEHOVAH have impregnated

Mary, the betrothal of Joseph, then turn around and judge us for fornication and

adultery? This does not make sense!

In the Law handed down to us by YEHOVAH, we can see that the virginal

birth would be illegal. Deuteronomy 22:23-24 tells us “If there is a girl who is a

virgin engaged to a man, and another man finds her in the city and lies with her,

then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city and you shall stone them

to death; the girl, because she did not cry out in the city, and the man, because he

has violated his neighbor's wife. Thus you shall purge the evil from among you.”

YEHOVAH is not a sinner that would break His own law and impregnate a

woman who is betrothed. He considers this type of thing to be evil.

As you will see, the truth is far more fascinating and takes much more

skill for and Omni Potent GOD to perform then would be a virginal birth. You

will see that He brought about the Savior without the scandal mentioned above.

From the beginning of the faith started by the death burial and

resurrection of Yeshua Messiah the mystery of lawlessness was at work trying to

compromise the teachings of the scripture and of the Messiah. In

2 Thessalonians 2:7, the Apostle Paul said, “For the mystery of lawlessness is

already at work…” Paul said that even while he was still hear and alive he was

seeing people try to tear away at the truths of the faith and blend in the teaching

of their mystery religions. So from the beginning, the forces of darkness were at

work trying to change the character of GOD and the Bible.

Man’s tendency is to digress back to the rebellion that began at the Tower

of Babel. Out of this rebellion, goddess and demigod worship became very

prevalent. Nearly every culture since the tower has had some form of goddess

and demigod worship. Take a look at our own country, there is an idol of the

pagan goddess Columbia on top of the capital building. There is an idol of Isis in

the New York harbor that we call Lady Liberty. The drive for man to be involved

in goddess worship is very strong. It would make sense that as men formulated

the new religion of Christianity demigod and goddess worship would be

incorporated into the matrix.

The great falling away that Paul talked about in the book of Thessalonians

began almost immediately after the Apostles died off. Without their voices to keep

the faith in check, the false doctrines of the mystery religions quickly started to

infiltrate into the body of believers. By the end of the first century, many false

doctrines coming from paganism had already set in. Unfortunately, the virginal

birth is one of these false doctrines. By the time that the gentile Church of Rome

took over the faith, the doctrines of the Messiah and of the Apostles were hardly

recognizable.

One has to realize that the same Church that steered man away from the

Sabbaths that are prescribed by Holy writ, replacing them with the venerable

day of the Sun God, Easter and Christmas, has also infected us with goddess

and demigod worship. It is well known that Constantine, the founder of the

Roman Catholic Church, was a Mithra worshiper. In this mythology, the god

Mithra was born of a virgin on December 25th. This should explain everything.

Even though we do not have copies of the original texts that were written

by the Apostles, textual critics are able determine if the New Testament texts

have variations from the originals. The critics do this by using quotations from

early Church fathers writings and by using old manuscript. The texts that we

have are actually very accurate, but a few variants from the originals texts have

been found. We must realize these manuscripts were passed around from one

sect to another in the first and second century. The texts used for the modern

translations of the New Testament come from the third century. The problems

that textual critics have found are mostly minor resulting from errors in

translating the text. There is one place however, where the text has been

tampered with and that is in the book of Matthew concerning the virginal birth.

It is well documented that the original gospels of Matthew did not

contain the virgin birth stories. There are a lot of writings that document

this fact. A comprehensive book on this issue is, The Original Gospel of

Matthew, Vol. II, The Appendices to Explain the Earliest Matthew, by

Standford Rives. In his book, Rives shows that early manuscripts of the

gospels, such as the Syraic Sinaiticus and old Latin manuscripts did not have

the birth accounts in Matthew. This proves that the virginal birth account was

a conscious corruption. The virginal birth of the Savior is distinctly discredited

by the Syriac codex, which reads in Matthew 1:16, “Joseph, to whom Mary the

virgin was betrothed, begat Jesus who is called Christ,” and in verse 21 it reads

“she shall bear thee a son,” and in verse 25, it omits the words, “And knew her

not till,” but says, “And he married his betrothed wife, and she bare him a son,

and he called his name Jesus.” Putting this together, we can see that the original

reading of Matthew was as follows:

(Matthew 1:16-25) “…Joseph, to whom Mary the virgin was betrothed, begat

Yehoshua who is called Messiah, she shall bear thee a son. And he married

his betrothed wife, and she bared him a son, and he called his name

Yehoshua.”

In the Hebrew culture, if the man and the woman agreed to be married,

the husband would pay a dowry and the families would work out the details of

the marriage and establish a Ketubah. At this point, the wife is betrothed to the

husband, but they are not married yet. Now, the husband would go back home

and make a place for him and his wife to live. When the place was ready, the

husband would go to receive his wife, and at that time, they would consummate

the marriage in the marriage bed. It is at this time they are officially married.

We know that the text Matthew had been tampered with and there is

an abundance of evidence for that. In the book of Luke, it does not seem

that anyone has found evidence that it has been tampered with. I do not

believe the text was altered. I believe that Luke has just been

misinterpreted and people are seeing something there based upon their bias

toward the virginal birth. I know that my first impression of Luke 1:35 was

that of the virginal birth because I had read commentary espousing this

theory. However, when I began to question the virginal birth and came to

understand the context of the scripture, the virginal birth no longer seemed

correct. We will go through the supposed virginal birth story verse by verse

to see what it is really telling us:

Luke 1:26-27 In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to

a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose

name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

The angel Gabriel has appeared before concerning the coming of the

Messiah, so this is not unusual. This previously happened to Daniel when

Gabriel came to explain the seventy sevens to him. In this case, Gabriel came to

encourage Mary and explain what was about to happen to her.

Notice that the scripture emphasized the fact that Joseph was of the house

of David. This is very important because scripture makes it very plain that the

Messiah would come from the seed of David. That seed would have to come from

Joseph who is in the line of David.

(Luke 1:28-30) And he came to her and said, "Hail, O favored one, the Lord

is with you!” But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and considered

in her mind what sort of greeting this might be.

Hearing the salutation of Gabriel Mary could sense something unusual

was going on.

(Luke 1:30-33) And the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, Mary, for you

have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb

and bear a son, and you shall call his name Yehoshua. He will be great,

and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give to

him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of

Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there will be no end."

Gabriel explained what was going to take place concerning Mary because

she needed to be a willing participant in this endeavor to bring forth the Messiah.

(Luke 1:34) And Mary said to the angel, "How shall this be, since I have

no husband?"

Mary was concerned about something, stating that she has no husband.

She was betrothed to Joseph, as the text tells us, but they had not consummated

their marriage at this point. Apparently, something had delayed this from

happening and it was a concern to Mary when Gabriel told her this. We will see

the answer in a moment.

(Luke 35-37) And the angel said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon

you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the

child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, your

kinswoman Elizabeth in her old age has also conceived a son; and this is

the sixth month with her who was called barren. For with God nothing will

be impossible."

These verses tell us why Mary was concerned about not having her

marriage consummated. It also tells us why the Holy Spirit was going to come

upon her. It is what Gabriel said about Elizabeth that explains why the Holy

Spirit was about to come upon Mary. It was for the same reason that it came

upon Elizabeth. The reason it came upon Elizabeth was because she was barren.

The Holy Spirit came upon Elizabeth healing her whom and she was able to have

a child in her old age. With Mary it was apparently a similar situation and that

is why Gabriel was comforting Mary. He told Mary not to be concerned about not

having a husband because the Holy Spirit was going to fix the problem so that

she could consummate her marriage.

With Mary, it was most likely that she had not started to menstruate.

Joseph had probably betrothed Mary prior to her being of childbearing age.

Traditionally the girl would stay with the parents until they were of age to bear

children. Mary apparently was delayed in this and it was a concern to her when

she spoke to Gabriel. Gabriel explained that in the same way the Holy Spirit

came upon Elizabeth, healing her and allow her to bear a child, Mary would also

be healed and able to bear a child.

It was a miraculous birth, but not for the reason the pushers of the virginal

birth are giving us. It was miraculous in the fact that Mary was healed of

barrenness and then was able to give birth. There are many examples of this

happening in the line of Messiah, the first one being the mother of the faith,

Abraham’s wife Sarah. The Holy Spirit came upon Sarah healing her and

miraculously bringing forth the lineage of the faith. There was also Rebekah and

Rachel.

(Luke 38) And Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord; let it be

to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.

When seen in this light the story of Mary is in keeping with the types

and shadows of the Bible. A virginal birth would be way out of line.

This idea of the virginal birth and of the preexistence of the Messiah was

around in the time of the Apostles. The Apostle John warned us about these

falsehoods when he said, “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits

whether they are of GOD: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Hereby know ye the Spirit of GOD: Every spirit that confesses that Yeshua

Messiah is come in the flesh is of GOD: And every spirit that confesses not

that Yeshua Messiah is come in the flesh is not of GOD: and this is that spirit

of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is

it in the world.” (1 Jn 4:1-3) John is telling us that the test to determine whether

we are following the correct Messiah is that the correct Messiah was born in the

flesh. By in the flesh he means that the Messiah was born a man and fathered

by a man just like the rest of us. Those that do not confess that the Messiah was

born of the flesh, if they say that he is half god and half man because GOD

fathered him, or that He was preexistent, then they are not of GOD and they are

following the antichrist. John said, “The antichrist is already in the world,” The

antichrist was in the world at the time of John and he has been with us this

whole time masquerading as the Messiah. Christianity follows this antichrist.

It is important to realize that if Yeshua were born from the seed of the Holy

Spirit He would be disqualified from being the Messiah. The virginal birth implies

that the Holy Spirit is the actual father of Yeshua and in numerous places

scripture states that the Messiah would be of the seed of David. Therefore, if

Yeshua is the Messiah then He could not have been born of a virgin because He

has to have a father who was of the house of David. If Yeshua were born of a

virgin his father would be the Holy Spirit who is not a descendant of David.

Some people say that Yeshua inherited his kingship from Mary who is of

the line of David; however, the Law states that the tribal inheritance comes

through the father. Numbers 1:16-19, “These are they who were called of the

congregation, the leaders of their fathers' tribes; they were the heads of divisions

of Israel." So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name,

and they assembled all the congregation together on the first of the second month.

Then they registered by ancestry in their families, by their fathers' households,

according to the number of names…” As you can see, the tribal inheritance comes

from the father. Any Jewish Rabbi can tell you that in order to be a Jew by birth

your mother must be a Jew. Jewishness flows through the mother. However, in

order to inherit a position or land, then your father must also be a Jew and then

you will inherit his position and his land.

In 2Chronicles 21:7, we see that by covenant, Yeshua comes from the seed

of David and not the Holy Spirit, “Yet YEHOVAH was not willing to destroy the

house of David because of the covenant which He had made with David, and since

He had promised to give a lamp to him and his sons forever.” Paul reiterated this

in Romans 1:1-3, where he said, “… Concerning his Son Yeshua Messiah our

Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh…” Here the

word "seed" is literally in the Greek "sperma." This same Greek word is translated

in other verses as "descendant(s)" or "offspring." The point is that the Messiah

had to be a physical descendant of King David through the male line. That

Yeshua had to be a physical descendant of David means that even if Joseph had

legally adopted Yeshua (as some apologists have suggested), Yeshua would still

not qualify as Messiah if he had been born of a virgin, because the seed from the

line of David was required.

Moses was the first prophet to prophesy about the coming of the Messiah.

In his prophecy, he clearly states that the Messiah would be one of the sons of

Israel. This is in Deuteronomy 18:15 where he said, “YEHOVAH your God will

raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your countrymen, you

shall listen to him.” Moses is referring to Yeshua who will be like him, the

mediator of the covenant and the leader of the people. He said that the coming

Prophet or Messiah would be one of them, an Israelite.

This by no means exhausts the Bible on this subject. There are many other

proofs that Yeshua was not a demigod. Here are a few other proofs:

1. There are no other references to the virgin birth in the Bibles either

explicitly or even implicitly. In fact, most references preclude a virginal

birth.

2. John does not refer to the virginal birth, and has texts that preclude it.

John recounts that others regarded Yeshua as the son of Joseph.

3. The Ebonite, who were made up of mostly Jewish followers of John the

Baptist and, later, Yeshua the Messiah and led by "James the Just," the

oldest brother of the Messiah rejected the concept of the virginal birth.

4. Yeshua repeatedly called himself “son of man” as if to refute the coming

heresy about the virginal birth.

5. The virginal birth gives the appearance of evil and makes YEVOVAH out

to be a fornicator.

6. Through the virginal birth the Church has turned Mary into a goddess

and Jesus a demigod. The Catholics have adorned Mary as the mother

of god. There is a strong push in the Catholic Church to make Mary a co-

redeemer with Jesus.

To overshadow a young virgin and plant a seed in her whom would have

been an easy feat for YEHOVAH GOD, but to have the Messiah come out of the

sea of souls at the right time and in the right place was truly a miraculous feat.

It much more proves the Omni Potentates of the true GOD.

To be half man and half god would make being the Messiah an easy

challenge. It would mean that the Messiah did not really feel the pain of the cross

and could not identify with our sinful nature. But scripture tells us that Yeshua

did feel the pull of sin on His life. He felt the pain of temptation and the pain of

the cross just as you or I would have if it were our cup to do so. Because of this

Yeshua is able to empathize with our sin. Hebrews 2:18 says, “For since He

Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid

of those who are tempted.” Also, Hebrews 4:14-16 “Since then we have a great

high priest who has passed through the heavens, Yeshua, the Son of God, let us

hold fast our confession. For we have not a high priest who is unable to sympathize

with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are,

yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that

we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

I can already predict a few of the arguments that will arise out of this

viewpoint that there was no virginal birth. One argument would be, “how were

Yeshua’s sins paid for since He would have been born into original sin?” This is

a legitimate question because Yeshua would not have the pure blood of GOD as

the Church teaches and He would still be under the penalty of original sin, as

the Church teaches this concept.

For those who are not familiar with this doctrine, the Church teaches that

the reason that Jesus’s blood is effective for covering our sins is because He is

of the pure bloodline of God. At conception, the Church believes that the DNA of

the blood comes from the father. Since Jesus is the physical son of GOD he

received GOD’s blood, therefor He has pure blood not tainted by original sin.

They also say that you cannot be justified by the Law. Of course, there is no

scriptural support for these false Church doctrines.

The author of Hebrews gives us the answer to this quandary:

Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, "SACRIFICE AND

OFFERING THOU HAST NOT DESIRED, BUT A BODY THOU HAST

PREPARED FOR ME; IN WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES

FOR SIN THOU HAST TAKEN NO PLEASURE. "THEN I SAID, 'BEHOLD, I

HAVE COME (IN THE ROLL OF THE BOOK IT IS WRITTEN OF ME) TO DO

THY WILL, O GOD.'" After saying above, "SACRIFICES AND OFFERINGS

AND WHOLE BURNT OFFERINGS AND SACRIFICES FOR SIN THOU HAST

NOT DESIRED, NOR HAST THOU TAKEN PLEASURE in them" (which are

offered according to the Law), then He said, "BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO

DO THY WILL." He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

By this will (YEHOVAH’s will) we have been sanctified through the offering

of the body of Yeshua Messiah once for all. (Heb 10:5-17)

Because He was faithful, Yeshua would have made the sacrifices in the

temple that were required by the Law, and then He refrained from sin. Because

Yeshua perfectly did the will of YAH, the penalty for original sin was erased by

His obedience. The sin offering, trespass offering, peace offering, and meal

offering that Yeshua gave would have been sufficient to cover original sin for

Yeshua because Yeshua did not go back out and sin again. The Temple sacrifices

were for the purpose of forgiveness of sin. Because Yeshua did not go back out

and sin again, the sacrifices were sufficient to cover His sins; therefore, Yeshua

was justified by the Law.

Just as Abraham who was justified by his belief and it was accounted unto

him as righteousness, Yeshua was justified by his faithfulness. The penalty for

original sin, which was rebellion, was erased by His complete faithfulness. This

is what the Law is about, faithfulness. Are you willing to live by YAH’s Law and

not your own law?

Did you notice in the above scripture the comment in parentheses, (which

are offered according to the Law)? The Law that the author is referring to is

the Old Covenant where animals were sacrificed and the sons of Aaron were the

High Priests. The purpose of the Law was to create a people who would be

faithful. The sacrifices that were being made were not accomplishing this so they

did not please YAH. The only sacrifice done according to the Law and that pleased

YAH was the sacrifices that Yeshua made. This is because Yeshua made the

required sacrifices in the temple then He refrained from sinning. Therefore,

Yeshua was the only one who was ever justified by the Old Covenant.

The rest of us are sinners in rebelled against GOD, therefore, we cannot

please GOD and we cannot be justified by the Old Covenant. This is why Yehovah

had to make a New Covenant that will not only provide forgiveness of sin, but

will also change our nature. Under the New Covenant, Yeshua the quickening

spirit will be our King and Priest and our sacrifice to present before Yehovah. He

will cleans us of our sins and write the Law on our hearts. Since the rest of us

are sinners we are not justified by the Law of the Old Covenant, but under the

New Covenant, we are justified by our belief in Yeshua.

Here is another thing that the proponents of the virginal birth will argue;

they will argue that Isaiah said that the mother of the Messiah would be a virgin.

This is in reference to Isaiah 7:14, which says, "Therefore the Lord Himself will

give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will

call His name Immanuel.” This verse is probably familiar to most Christians. It is

often used when talking about the virginal birth. Contrary to popular belief, this

verse is not a direct reference to the Messiah. If you read this verse in its context,

it is apparent that it is not a messianic reference. Emanuel is actually the name

that YEHOVAH told Isaiah to name his son as a sign to King Ahaz that the

prophecies of Isaiah were true and from GOD. Emanuel is the first born of Isaiah.

When you look up Emanuel in the Strong’s Concordance this is what it says:

“with us (is) GOD; Immanuel, a name of Isaiah’s son: - Immanuel.”

This verse is not a direct reference to the Messiah. Also, Joseph and Mary did

not name their son Emmanuel; they named Him “Yehoshua,” which means,

“Yehovah is salvation.”

Believing in the virginal birth is one of the Churches criteria for being a

believer. If you do not believe in the virginal birth then you are considered

anathema. What this means is you are banned and cursed by ecclesiastical

authority for not believing in the virginal birth. If you do not believe that God

came down and fornicated with Mary, who was betrothed to Joseph, and gave

birth to the demigod named Jesus then you are considered a heretic. This is

strange when only two questionable scriptures in the Bible refer to the virginal

birth, and nothing else in the Bible hints at it and many scriptures preclude it.

Neither of these two scriptures tells us that believing in the virginal birth

is a criterion for salvation or for membership into GOD’s Kingdom. If it a criteria

for salvation then it stands to reason that all of the Apostles, Prophets and

Yeshua would have made a big deal out of the virginal birth so that we would

have a chance for salvation. In reality, none of the Apostles needed the virginal

birth to reach their conclusions about salvation. Believing in the virginal Birth

is simply not a requirement for salvation. It is however a criteria for being a

member of a false religion that has a demigod as its centerpiece. This is what

drives this idea for the virginal birth, the Churches lust for demigod and goddess

worship. Demigod and goddess worship is at the heart of all false religion.

Through the virginal birth, Jesus their savior becomes a demigod and Mary

becomes a goddess.

The true biblical measurements of a heretic are the Sabbaths. There are

hundreds of scriptures in the Bible about keeping the Sabbaths and that explain

the consequences of not keeping them, yet the Church does not keep one of

them, and it does not consider it important. But they will deem you a heretic

over two questionable scriptures concerning the virginal birth.

The decision has to be made, are you going to follow Jesus the demigod of

Christianity or are you going to follow Yeshua the GOD of the Sabbaths. The

answer you give is important because the answer you give will determine your

eternal outcome. As previously stated, the Sabbaths are a measurement of your

obedience to the GOD of creation.

We have picked up a lot of bad hermeneutics from the false prophets

through the centuries. These falsehoods have become the sacred-pillars of the

modern times and we need to pull these sacred-pillars down and return to the

truth. It is through our pursuit of truth that we come to know YEHOVAH.

Yeshua the Son of GOD

Since Yeshua was not the direct descendent of YEHOVAH GOD, meaning

He was not half man and half god, how is it that He was called the Son of GOD.

He said of Himself that He is the Son of GOD, so how can this be if He was not

descended from GOD. It was one of the reasons the Temple leaders crucified

Yeshua, because He claimed to be the Son of GOD:

(Mat 26:62-66) And the high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You

make no answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"

But Yeshua kept silent. And the high priest said to Him, "I adjure You by

the living GOD, that You tell us whether You are the Messiah, the Son of

GOD." Yeshua said to him, "You have said it yourself; nevertheless I tell

you, hereafter you shall see THE SON OF MAN SITTING AT THE RIGHT

HAND OF POWER, and COMING ON THE CLOUDS OF HEAVEN." Then

the high priest tore his robes, saying, "He has blasphemed! What further

need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy;

what do you think?" They answered and said, "He is deserving of death!"

As you can see, Yeshua was put to death for claiming to be the Son of

GOD, which the Temple leaders considered blasphemy. Of course, it was not

blasphemy; the evil leaders were just coming up with an excuse to murder

Yeshua.

Did you notice that Yeshua told the High Priest that He is the son of man,

yet he said that He would set at the right hand of GOD? This is confusing, He is

the son of man, yet we have to acknowledge Him as the Son of GOD in order to

seek salvation. What adds more confusion is that confessing Yeshua to be the

Son of GOD is a requirement for being saved. 1John 4:14-15, “And we have

beheld and bear witness that the Father has sent the Son to be the Savior of the

world. Whoever confesses that Yeshua is the Son of GOD, GOD abides in him, and

he in GOD.” How do we reconcile this? One time we are to believe that Yeshua

came in the flesh, and now we are to believe that Yeshua is the Son of GOD.

In our time, the sacred-pillar centers on the idea that Yeshua is the half

man and half God offspring of God. Modern theology views Jesus as a demigod

directly descended from God who personally placed His own seed inside of Mary

and begot the son of God. We dealt with this issue in the previous chapter and

discovered that the true Yeshua was not the physical descendent of GOD, but a

man born from the union of Joseph and Mary. So how is Yeshua the Son of GOD

if He is not descended from GOD?

You have probably heard the term “born again.” The way that Yeshua was

the Son of GOD is that He was born again. He explained this concept in His

conversation with Nicodemus:

(Joh 3:1-6) Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a

ruler of the Jews; this man came to Him by night, and said to Him, "Rabbi,

we know that You have come from GOD as a teacher; for no one can do

these signs that You do unless GOD is with him." Yeshua answered and

said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot

see the kingdom of GOD." Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be

born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's

womb and be born, can he?" Yeshua answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you,

unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the

kingdom of GOD. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which

is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Did you see it? He answered that you have to be born of the water and

of the spirit! The following scripture clarifies this:

(Mar 1:9-11) And it came about in those days that Yeshua came from

Nazareth in Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. And

immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and

the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him; and a voice came out of the

heavens: "Thou art My beloved Son, in Thee I am well-pleased."

This is when Yeshua was born of the water and of the spirit becoming the

Son of GOD. As John baptized Yeshua in the water, the Holy Spirit or Shekinah

Glory, came and dwelt within Yeshua. This is when Yeshua was born again. As

this took place YEHOVAH announced, “Thou art My beloved Son, in Thee I am

well-pleased." In early manuscripts of Matthew this verse said, “You are my

beloved son, this day I have begotten you.”* It was at this time that Yeshua

became the Son of GOD. Yeshua was born of the flesh and then at this event He

became the first born of the water and the spirit, becoming the first-born of the

Sons of GOD. “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is

born of the Spirit is spirit.” YEHOVAH did not overshadow Mary and have a

son in the flesh; Yeshua was begotten of the spirit. YEHOVAH is not made of

flesh that he can have sons of flesh, He is spirit, and his sons, therefore, have to

be of the spirit.

Remember, in a previous chapter I was telling you that water represents

the Law. Since Yeshua perfectly kept YEHOVAH’s Law, which caused Him to

remain ceremonially clean, YAH’s Shekinah Glory came to dwell within Him. The

power of the water (Law) and the spirit (Shekinah Glory) worked together to

spring up as a river of living water causing Yeshua to be resurrected.

You may be thinking that I am saying that it is the Law that saves us, but

I am not, the Lamb saves us. We cannot be saved by the Law because we are

sinners. We are condemned by the Law. We are saved by the statute of the Law

that says that our sins are forgiven if we repent and present a sacrificial lamb

before YEHOVAH. This provides forgiveness of sin. Through obedience, Yeshua

offered Himself as the Lamb of GOD. Now when we present ourselves before the

Almighty we place our sins on the spotless Lamb of GOD who will make us

ceremonially clean. This will allow the water and the spirit to spring up within

us as river of living water with the power of resurrection. Since Yeshua has been

resurrected by the water and the spirit, the rest of us can now be resurrected by

the water and the spirit. Yeshua, our quickening spirit, told us, "He who believes

in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living

water.”(Joh 7:38) Now when we believe in Yeshua we can make Him our Lamb

that we may present before YEHOVAH as our sacrifice. When we accept Yeshua,

we are washed by the Word, allowing the Shekinah Glory to enter us, and

allowing YEHOVAH’s Law to spring up like a river of living water giving life. When

we turn to Yeshua, the sacrificial Lamb provided by statute of the Law, the Law

will have completed its purpose, which is to create a righteous people who will

do the will of YEHOVAH.

Baptism is a type and shadow of this process. When we give our hearts to

Yeshua, and are baptized in His name, we are choosing the sacrificial lamb who

will represent us before YEHOVAH. “Or do you not know that all of us who have

been baptized into Yeshua Messiah have been baptized into His death? Therefore,

we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, in order that as

Messiah was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might

walk in newness of life. For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of

His death, certainly we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection, knowing

this, that our old self was crucified with Him, that our body of sin might be done

away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin; for he who has died is freed

from sin.”(Rom 6:3-7) When we are baptized into Yeshua’s death, we are entering

death as a sinner. In 2 Corinthians 5:21, we find that this is in likeness to

Yeshua, where Paul explained, “He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our

behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.” So Yeshua was

made to be sin so when we are buried in the water our sin is imparted to Him,

releasing us from the penalty of sin and cleansing us so that the Shekinah Glory

may enter. When we come out of the water, we come out in likeness of Yeshua

and in likeness to His resurrection.

When we are baptized in the name of Yeshua, we are giving up our

lawlessness, burying it with our old self, being raised free from lawlessness, so

that we are lawful, able to perfectly following the commandments of GOD. The

dangerous thing is, if we follow the wrong messiah, and are baptized in the wrong

name, following the one who is lawless, then we are raised into lawlessness and

there is no water of life.

It is a requirement for salvation that we believe Yeshua is the Son of GOD.

We see this in John 5:12-13, “He who has the Son has the life; he who does not

have the Son of GOD does not have the life. These things I have written to you who

believe in the name of the Son of GOD, in order that you may know that you have

eternal life.” Also in 1 John 4:15, “Whoever confesses that Yeshua is the Son of

GOD, GOD abides in him, and he in GOD.”

The problem that we have in this day and age is that we have to believe

that Yeshua is the Son of GOD in the correct context. We have to believe that He

was the Son, born of the water and the spirit. If you believe that Yeshua was the

Son of GOD because He was fathered by YEHOVAH who had sex with the Virgin

Mary the betrothal of Joseph, and that Yeshua is a demigod, then you cannot be

saved. This belief automatically precludes Yeshua being born of the water and

the spirit because He would be the direct descendant of YEHOVAH. We have to

believe in the correct context. If we believe that YEHOVAH made Yeshua a son,

the son of man who was born of the flesh, who was then born of the water and

the spirit, becoming the Son of GOD, then we can also believe that through

baptism into His name YAH will do the same for us. If we believe that Yeshua

was a demigod then the dynamics of our belief is condemned by a lie.

* Justin (103-165 AD) relays the baptism account as “written by the apostles” and the “memoirs

of the apostles”—meaning the canon as then it existed. As to the key language, Justin says: “The

voice spoke to him, saying, ‘You are My Son, today I have begotten You.’ This is recorded in the

memoirs of the Apostles.” (Justin, Dialogue, 103.) “Justin Martyr,” Wikipedia (2011).
