No False Gods

Today is a day of global communication. Radically different cultures once isolated by sheer distance now interact daily. New exotic ideas and beliefs challenge our own. Perhaps initially disturbing or even revolting, many of these peculiar ideas and beliefs become interesting and eventually appealing to us.

Why not? Isn't it better to be safe than sorry? If someone else's customs or technology seems superior to ours in some ways, shouldn't we investigate the possibility that their belief systems might also be exceptional? With all of the uncertainties of life, shouldn't we use every possible advantage to ensure our own prosperity and success?

What if? What if what we were taught about the universe is wrong? What if many, most, or even all of what we were taught about spiritual matters is marginal at best if not completely wrong? Even if some of we were taught is correct, shouldn't we alter or replace that which we fear may be incorrect or ineffective?

"Tolerance" is the by-word of today's religious and political leaders. Buddhism, Golden Dawn, Hinduism, Islam, Kabbala, New Age, Scientology, Shintoism, Wicca, all of their many derivatives and all of the syntheses of the ideas they represent have at least some beliefs and principles that are appealing.

"In the interests of peace" is a phrase frequently parroted by those who wish to see HaShem's law compromised. HaSatan is indeed a master of deception! Mix the truth with lies to promote the lies. Mix evil with good to promote that which is evil. Brand all those who discern the evil "intolerant bigots". Entice the virtuous with virtue-coated evil. Isn't it strange that all those who call us "intolerant" are themselves so intolerant of us?

We must beware of mixing those beliefs and principles passed on to us from Yahu'ah Sabaoth and His Son, Yah Shua HaMashiach, with those made and promoted by His enemies. HaSatan has dug his deepest pit for the virtuous and laid a net therein. Elohim's saints are HaSatan's greatest danger and he wants them to fall the farthest. Those impatient with Yahu'ah Sabaoth's grace and His expectation that we will do our part to receive it, or doubt that He even exists, too often seek other means of salvation.

Just because we know how HaShem did something doesn't mean He didn't do it! Critics often note that various miracles can be explained as rare but natural phenomena. I would hope so! Elohim is righteous and just! Elohim wrote ALL of the natural laws and the laws of physics! HaShem IS nature! Unlike our legislators, and those trusted to enforce our laws, HaShem REFUSES to violate His own laws! If any miracle cannot be explained as a natural phenomena, it is either a work of HaSatan (Revelation states false miracles shall occur in the end time), it follows a natural law we are not aware of (any good scientist will tell you that the more we learn, the more we realize we don't know!), or its a fake! Critics of Moshe were able to cast doubt on Elohim's miracles for this very reason! Too many people expect Yahu'ah to act like a cheap magician! They expect HaShem to wave a magic wand and create the Universe! I repeat, Yahu'ah is righteous and just. He wrote the law forbidding the practice of magick (sorcery/witchcraft). He REFUSES to violate His own laws.

Whether we realize it or not, when we adopt practices contrary to our Elohim's law we endanger our own salvation. Though a borrowed belief or practice itself may seem beneficial, it is merely an illusion to keep us from Yahu'ah's grace and unknowingly in HaSatan's camp! It is not easy to be in Elohim's grace. While its rewards are great, so are its demands. "You get what you pay for." is generally true. HaSatan, in any of his many disguises, asks little and promises much. He casts doubts that HaShem can deliver on His promises when it is HaSatan who cannot deliver on his! HaShem demands much in return because He knows that He can and will deliver as promised. HaSatan will not demand much until he believes that his victim is helpless and no longer has a choice. What we must remember is that our Elohim gave us free will and is merciful - we shall always have a choice until our moment of death! But we shall still have to pay a price for our temporary alliance with HaSatan!

At the very least, reject that which is suspect. Pray for discernment. Seek enlightenment from Yahu'ah Sabaoth, Yah Shua HaMashiach, and the Ruach HaKodesh. Remember that while HaShem doesn't ignore the rest of humanity, we are the apple of His eye. He chose to give us the straightest path to His heart. By using other paths we are spurning His gifts and thereby insulting Him! Like an ungrateful lover, we act as though His gifts are worthless! Remember that He is a jealous Elohim. And while we treat Him as furniture, many gentiles are grateful for the crumbs of grace that fall from our table. Do not think for one second that He will not decide to punish us further for our transgressions and give those rewards once earmarked for us to the grateful gentiles!

I call on you to come with us. Observe Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh, Rosh HaShanah, Pesach, Matzot, Bikkurim, Shavu'ot, Yom Teru'ah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot as HaShem commanded. Watch the times of prophetic fulfillment and be aware that HaMashiach's reign shall soon begin! Spurn all that which smacks of divination, sorcery, or witchcraft. If you are faint of heart, then at least see to your own salvation.

If you are a lion of Yahu'da, then proclaim to all our brethren our Elohim's path to salvation and rebuke the lies propagated by HaSatan and his allies. This is obviously a most dangerous path. But the more we do for the sovereigndom of Yahu'ah Elyon now, the greater shall our rewards be later. In this case, it is far more important to be righteous than it is to be compromising, diplomatic, or tolerant. The end-game has begun and just as HaSatan has released the full power of his deceit, so must we release the zeal of Yahu'ah Sabaoth!

This is the heritage of the servants of Yahu'ah Sabaoth. A fire goes before Him and burns up His enemies all around. For wickedness burns as the fire - it shall kindle in the thickets of the forest and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke. Through the wrath of Yahu'ah Sabaoth is the land darkened and the people shall be as fuel for the fire - no man shall spare his brother. Yahu'ah Sabaoth shall cast upon them the fierceness of His anger, wrath, and indignation by sending evil angels among them. And they shall call upon the names of their gods, and you, His servant, shall call upon the name of the living Elohim. And He shall answer by fire and consume them.

This is how we release the zeal of Yahu'ah Sabaoth. By our baptism of water into HaMashiach and our baptism of the Ruach HaKodesh are we sanctified. He has created the waster to destroy all those who afflict His anointed. No weapon formed against us shall prosper and every tongue that rises against us we shall condemn - for our righteousness is of Yahu'ah. We have but to call on Him and it shall be done.

So remember that it is OUR culture that HaShem has chosen as the Earth's priesthood. Don't endanger your salvation and our inheritance by adopting alien beliefs or practices or anything that seems to be divination, sorcery, or witchcraft. Blessed is the one unto whom Yahu'ah imputes no wickedness and in whose spirit is no slyness. Time is a luxury we don't have! Seek the ready counsel of the Ruach HaKodesh. And bless your friends and relatives with such knowledge - do not have their blood on your hands!

Money Changers in the Temple

Money Changers in the Temple

The money changers are back! Yah Shua (Jesus) chased them out once, but they are back with a vengeance! Since the Temple is no more they now inhabit the Church.


Welcome friends! Come into our ministry. For a $100.00 "donation" we'll send you our newest DVD. For a $1,000.00 we'll teach you how to best utilize you're talents for God's Kingdom (and we'll even tell you what those talents are!). For $35.00 we'll pray for you! But please don't come to us for any material help, for all we can really do is sell, sell, sell! After all, we need to maintain all of our missionary projects overseas (like sending overpriced Bibles written in English to people who can't even speak English let alone read or write it). We have a multi-million dollar ministry with important work to do for our flock. But if you will give until it hurts, we'll spare a little of our very important time to let you fill out a few forms telling us what your spiritual needs are. We might even get around to reading them so we can tell you which of our publications you should buy!


You can find them everywhere. They are on television. They are on the radio. They are on the internet. They are at almost every church you have ever attended or will ever attend. They are very good at talking the talk, but they don't walk the walk! They remember all of the scriptures that tell you to give, but they just can't seem to remember what the scriptures say they should do with that which you have given them!


All of that money going to those who use it for their purposes, yet so little going to our Elohim's (God's)! So many times I've seen the poor and unfortunate themselves giving whatever they truly can to help others (usually in the form of clothing, food, information, and/or shelter) - they are doing Elohim's work. Very very few ministries will even try to help them, and those very few that do are poor as well.


As Jeremiah records, the rich and shameless ministries have a very special place in hell awaiting them. Shepherds who fleece the flock and lead it astray, and those false prophets who help them do so are cursed by Yahu'ah Himself. The blood of all of those led astray is upon the heads of the money changers. Yet they do not care. Why should they? They don't believe that Yahu'ah knows or even cares! Some of them don't even believe that Yahu'ah exists! They all do believe that gullible Christians are an easy way to fame and fortune. And these same Christians foolishly believe that if the ministry is rich and famous it must be blessed by Elohim.


Ministries have a right, if not a duty, to pay their own way and so may ask for money to cover expenses. But a profit motive is contrary to Elohim's purpose for the Church. So keep your money in your pocket. Use it to see that your family's needs are met first. Once they are, use the remainder to help the widows, orphans, and the poor. If you don't wish to have direct contact with our more unfortunate brothers and sisters, look for those needy ministries that are actually working with the poor near where you live. You need not send your money overseas, there are still plenty of poor and needy right here. And their numbers continue to grow!
