# On the series Prophets & Prophesy. Characteristics of prophets & prophecy. Part 2 of 2.

Title: Biblical prophets do NOT set up a registered business nor collect profit.

Today: The function of prophets & role of prophesies. *Can also scroll below to read ‘take home’ lessons for high yield information.

#1. The role. Biblical prophets are the mouth & the spokesperson of Yahweh. They are unelected by the people; rather are appointed, trained & SENT by YHVH. They communicate the heart, the mind and the will of Yahweh. The prominent role is not that of predicting, but of delivering inspired messages of warning, correction, exhortation, instruction; building up and comforting; exposing sins and convicting; judging and making manifest the secrets of the heart. Prophets are preachers, exponents & teachers of the law and of righteousness; often passed moral judgement; often consulted for guidance, instruction in the matters of government in the nation of Israel. Prophets act as poets, scientists, leaders, statesman, counsellors, advocates of people’s rights; reformers who sought to address and correct social injustices and religious hypocrisies. . Note: Prophets of OT = Apostles to Israel. Apostles of NT = prophets of New Covenant.

#2. The function. The prophets were sent to kings and the people to rebuke them. Natan denounced David of his sins in the matter of Uriah and Bathsheba. Prophets advised and counselled kings thru national crisis. Prophets can anoint (or rather select) kings under instruction of Yahweh. Samuel anointed Saul and David; Natan anointed Solomon; Elijah anointed kings of Israel and Syria; and Elisha for his place. Important to note then that work of prophets were linked to the nation of Israel primarily though they played minor role towards heathen nations.

#3. The message: Prediction and miracles were never the goal, nor unveiling of future to the inquisitive mind and itching ears. Prediction of future was the function of the diviner, wizard and fortune tellers. The biblical prophet’s main purpose and the content or substance of their message is always ethical, moral, social and spiritual in nature. Prophets warn, exhort, lead, guide, preach, teach, announce and proclaim. Biblical prophets are as such not because they foretold the future, but that they enlightened the present; in order to change the future. Their messages were toward causing the people to be faithful to Yahweh and to return in repentance to HIS laws. And though they lived at different times in Israel’s history; and their personal characteristics and circumstances were different; their overall message was same: That Yahweh is righteous, and holy. HE is just, merciful and loving but must judge sin.

#4. The nature. The true prophets preached the contents of the law of Moshe. The message of the prophet need not be new or with new meaning beyond that which has already been spoken before by the law of Moses or other prophets. Most often it was a message already been spoken before by other prophets or by the law. Example: Isaiah 2:2-5 vs Micah 4:1-5; Obadiah and Jeremiah 49: 7-22. At times, they delivered few messages and retreated to their occupation (ex: Amos). There were long periods of silence when Yahweh did not speak thru them. They were much more interested in preaching spiritual principles, and eternal truths of Yahweh and not so much historical or chronological verification of prophesies fulfillment. The great prophets did not receive material things from the people such as fees for service or of the like. Nor supported by the people. Their independence allowed them to adhere to truth without undue temptation and influence. Anyone who uses his office to seek position of statue or of monetary revenue can never be considered a true servant of the Lord.

#5. The goal. The ultimate goal of prophecies is that of the coming of Messiah, as the ideal king of descendant of king David. The redemption of humanity was the central message of the prophecies to Israel. IN other words, the spirit of prophesy was ultimately the testimony of Yeshua. It is important to note while the prophets provided information for the coming kingdom, they did not leave great details. Details were not as important as the core of their function; to rebuke sins of the people, to remind them of the righteousness of the Law of the LORD, their obligation to keep the law or face impending judgement.

#6. Limitations. Prophecies to ancient Israel was given to underscore the role of human agency and choices. The goal of predictive prophecy was for the purpose of warning the people, in order to avert coming judgement; and that the people may change, repent and mend their ways to return to the law of the LORD. The only way to change future foreseen is by changing the conditions surrounding the prophecy. While it appears as If prophets were speaking of this realm, majority of their prophecies often were about the ideal world to come in the messianic age.

#7. Recognizing prophets today. Unfortunately because most look for fortune tellers and those who will predict the latest round of presidential election, they miss the Moses, Amos, the Micah, the Isaiah, the Jeremiah prophets of today. To recognize prophets today, the marks of all biblical prophets are found evident in them. Look for those who afflict the comfortable (wealthy, famous and powerful), and comfort the afflicted (the poor, marginalized, disadvantaged). These are the champions of the rights of the vulnerable and the neglected; those who speak out against social injustice; who denounce the rich, the wealthy; and are champions of righteousness of the law of the LORD, of moral purity, ethical excellence & of genuine spirituality.

Biblical prophets have no self-seeking inclinations; far removed from petty politics; and the largeness of their message and purpose ought to transcend and thus removes them from ordinary squabbles of everyday life and petty entanglements of human relations. The issue is not how to recognize the prophet, but are we prepared to listen and heed his or her message? Having a heart prepared to hear and heed is key to recognizing true prophets today.

#7. Key points & take home lessons.

#1. Biblical prophets are mouthpiece & spokesperson of Yahweh; elected and sent by YHVH not by the individual or peoples.

#2. Are preachers of the law; and teachers of moral, ethical and spiritual principles.

#3. Are not soothsayers, psychics & wizards who predict future to satisfy curiosities.

#4. Are people of great moral character, holy people chosen by, for and consecrated to Yahweh.

#5. They rebuke, correct, warn, counsel, preach repentance and decree judgement if no repentance.

#6. Are often unwelcomed, rejected; suffer persecution, afflictions even unto death.

#7. The goal of predictive prophesy is to elicit change in human behavior not to satisfy curiosity for future outcome.

#8. To recognize biblical prophets today, look for those who afflict the comfortable; and comfort the afflicted.

#9. True prophets of Yahweh do not seek personal gain, or self-promotion and are far removed from petty politics and popular trends of the day.

#10. Prophets spoke of reality, but pointed to the ideal: the ultimate KING & Messiah and His everlasting righteous Kingdom.

Next: The conditional nature of prophecies: how true prophets can get it ‘wrong’ or when prophecies ‘fail’ to come to pass. Truly enlightening information

Series Identifying & dissecting the last empire of the Beast. Section A: Study of the apocalyptic visions of the books of Daniel and Revelation.

Daniel’s visions in Daniel 2, 7, 8 & 11. Part 2 of 3.

Today, I present here Key summary of events in Daniel 11: the conflict between kings of north & south. Please as you read these events, bear in mind the principle of ‘dual fulfilment’. In that, while a lot of these prophecies had been fulfilled in a character called Antiochus Epiphanes, the Syrian general of Seleucid kingdom of Grecia, still he was foreshadowing of another event yet to come.

A. Summary of Daniel 11’s conflict between king of north & king of south.

#1. Daniel prophecies future events in his time; which has occurred.

The daughter of king of south (KOS) attempts to make some sort of agreement with king of north (KON). The arrangement is likely a marriage to join the 2 nations and strengthen both kingdoms as was customary practice in those days. Trouble ensues between KOS & KON. KOS fights with KON and subdues KON for a time being. Years later, KON returns and gathers greater armies; conquers KOS then heads to conquer Jerusalem. Then another KON arises; a vile person, who comes by way of peace and flatteries at first. The people of the covenant (= Jews in Daniel's time; today =believers in Christ= new covenant) enters in league with this vile person (= the antichrist) which will work deceitfully. Thru deceit, he becomes strong with small people and thru peace makes inroads, do great exploits but his heart against the holy covenant (meaning, he despises believers in Christ).

#2. Daniel prophecies future events in his time; which has occurred; but also foreshadow future events.

At the time appointed, he (*vile KON= little antichrist = also THE antichrist in the end time) shall return and towards the south but not like the former times. *He will have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant (=unbelievers, apostate believers: think MAGA cults, Trump evangelicals). He shall pollute the sanctuary and take away the daily sacrifice and set up image of abomination that makes desolate (see Christ reference in Matt 24.15). Many will be corrupted by his flatteries, but they that know their EL shall be strong and do exploits; and shall understand and instruct many. Yet, many shall fall by the sword, captivity, spoil to be tried, purged and to make white. Many will still cleave to flatteries/deceit even to the time of the end. And this vile KON (=little antichrist and THE antichrist) does as he wills, exalts himself above every god and speak marvelous things against EL and shall prosper in his indignation (2 Thes 2, Rev 13.5-6).

-He will not regard EL of his fathers (=Yahweh), nor desire women (possibly unmarried or homosexual), nor regard any god, for he shall magnify himself above all. He shall honour the god of forces, with silver, gold, and pleasant things (= accumulate wealth; and rule by force and domination).. *Dear American evangelicals, enforcing the 10 commandments is of the antichrist spirit. It will only make people rebel against Christ, despise and abhor the gospel. Enforcing Christianity on a state level is counterproductive and of devils.

#3. Daniel prophecies future events in his time; which has occurred; but also foreshadow future events (the end time events).

*At time of end, KOS shall push at KON, and KON shall come against KOS. He enters Jerusalem and overthrows many countries. He shall have power of treasures of gold, silver and precious things of Egypt. There shall be time of trouble never seen before (time of Jacob’s trouble= great tribulation). Any whose name are written in the book of life shall live and the dead shall awake out of the dust to everlasting life; and some to everlasting contempt. They that are wise shall shine like the firmament and shall turn many to righteousness as stars forever.)

B. Daniel 11 shows the antichrist is the King of north. North of where? North of Israel. Syria is north of Israel. Assyria now modern day Syria and other surrounding nations has been ancient arch-enemy of Israel & a type and shadow of antichrist thru Israel's history. So, chances are the antichrist of the end-time will arise from Assyria (modern day: Syria, Turkey, Iran, Iraq). *More on 'who are today's Assyrians' later*

“And this man (the Messiah) shall be the peace, when the Assyrian (the antichrist) shall come into our land….” “ And he (king of North) shall pollute the sanctuary and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate…..” (Micah 5.5 , Daniel 11.31).

B. Key takeaways of Daniel 11's oracles.

#1. Daniel’s 10 mixed toes and 10 horned beast = 10 horned beast of Revelation = 7th revived empire of Revelation = This 10 nations of the beast empire; from which arises the little horn (the beast= the antichrist = the king of the North’ (‘formerly Assyrian- former arch enemy of nation of Israel).

#2. Daniel’s ‘little horn’ and king of North immediate fulfilment in Antiochus Epiphanes, the Syrian captain of Grecian empire who foreshadowed THE antichrist.

#3. In Daniel, king of North (of Israel) =the former biblical ‘Assyrian’ kingdom= modern day Syria, Turkey, Iran, Iraq.

#4. the little horn is from Syria and arises from one of the 10 nations of the final beast empire; a composite of earlier empires.

#5. The antichrist will gain confidence and make treaties by flattery, deceit and by false peace but will renege 42 months (3.5 yrs or 1260 days) after.

#6. The wrath of antichrist initiates the great tribulation of saints and believers ( this includes ALL Israel by faith and ethnic).

#7. These visions of Daniel though fulfilled in various little horns (antichrist spirits) thru various empires thru history, it was foreshadowing THE little horn, THE antichrist to come at latter end of age.


Next: Analyzing and dissecting Daniel 11’s kings of north (Syria) and south (Egypt).

A. Today on Torah studies: Bereishit (Genesis) 1 thru 6.8; Part 1 of 4.

In the beginning, YHVH spoke and there came: 1. Time; 2. Space; 3. Matter. The rest are details.

**Summary of week of creation: Day 1. The universe: includes the galaxies, the planets including earth. Earth dark and covered by water without form and void (empty), light appears; 2. Water that covered earth separated into 2 by a firmament (the sky, the clouds above earth which then holds the other water that often falls as rain/flood); 3. Water below gathered as sea, and dry land appears, plus the plants in ‘seed’ form; 4. sun, moon and stars to define times and seasons; 5. Water creatures, air creatures; 6. Land creatures and man, then woman; 7. YHVH rested from creation.

*Note for brevity sake I use EL = Elohim= Yahweh = YHVH=haShem= LORD = Yeshua = Christ. Different Names, ONE person.

#1. The intricate & complex creation Ex-Nihilo (out of nothing). Creation requires creator; a design requires a designer.

Ever stopped to wonder that Yahweh first conceived in HIS mind before HE spoke the universe into existence. And when Yahweh spoke the *heavens into existence, every component of the universe came into place: time, space, matter; air, fire, water; all the physical laws that govern the universe like gravity; and spiritual beings (angels (or demons), principalities, & powers). Note here, the *heavens include the galaxies, planets (earth included) & all the physical laws that govern them. Then earth was singled out, zoomed in on as specially made habitable for life. *And the LORD declared HIS creation ‘good’. Have you considered that an entire universe and life came about by the power of spoken words. Words create Worlds. No wonder scriptures says, ‘life and death is in the power of tongue’. [/b]Or James the apostle said, tongue as small as it is can set forest ablaze with fire. This doesn’t mean we can create out of nothing, but this does mean our words have potential. It is not really that the power lies with our words in itself, but that words released can function as magnets that can attract the spiritual realm (angels or demons); and these invisible realm (beings) can possibly put our words into action to make things happen for good or for evil; life or destruction. Wow. Be mindful of your words. *Selah.

#2. Darkness is absence of the glory of Yahweh.

The earth was void and dark. Darkness is default and is simply absence of “light” of EL’s presence in the void. [b]EL is the unapproachable light. HIS illumination is the first light in the ‘let there be light’. When HE spoke, HIS presence illuminated the hollow darkness of earth. Before the sun/moon on 4th day, the initial separation of darkness from light is HaShem (the unapproachable light) separating HIMSELF from the universe. On day 4, the sun/moon/stars are made to govern seasons, time, day and night. Science tells us rotation of earth round its axis gives day and night, so earth started spinning right from after creation in the beginning to give day 1. The Sun is mostly stationary in its little path, and the earth rotates round the sun, as earth rotates away from sun, it becomes night for that region of the world that lack of light of sun; and it becomes day for the region that faces sun. Since the celestials were not created till day 4, YHVH was the sole source of light in which the earth spun to and away from in its axis from day 1 to 3. It takes the earth 365 days to rotate round the sun (= 1 year). It takes 30 days for moon to rotate round the earth (= 1 month). Night is governed by moon and stars which illuminates the heavens. Moon itself is a hollow rock and has no light in itself; but merely reflects light of sun. When it is ‘dark’ (side of earth away from sun), the light of sun that moon reflects lights up the night sky. The light of stars are only visible when it is dark.

#3. Yeshua , the first light of the world; our ‘son-light’, and the church the ‘moon’ light or starlight reflecting the ‘SON-light’.

When it was spoken, ‘Let there be light’ , Yeshua is that light of the world who was there right at the start, was concealed until this light came into the world and became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1.1-5). The light that lights up every life of believer. The church ought to reflect this light as the moon or as stars that blaze in the darkness of the world; and each individual shine our brightest when it is the darkest. What a lovely metaphor. Scripture note that post millennial reign of Christ, in the new heaven and new earth, there will no longer be sun, moon, stars, the glory of Yahweh becomes the sole source of light as it were in the beginning (Rev. 21.23). Scripture also mention there will still be Sabbath, and new moon (Isaiah 66.22-24); which means that there will be some type of time keeping even then. This is not too difficult to envision since as we see here in the beginning, there was no sun, nor moon until 4th day. There was some element or type of time keeping from day 1 thru 3 before sun and moon were created on day 4. It was most likely the “kavod” (glory) of HaShem that functioned as the light around which the earth rotated.

#4. The earth & the 2 body of waters above and below. Fun fact: The earth is 70% water and 30% land.

Earth was formless, void, dark and covered with water. So right here tells us, formless, void, darkness and water were default setting of planet earth when it was first created. In the beginning water covered the whole earth before being separated into 2 parts by the firmament (the clouds). There is then another body of water above the clouds. This body of water is atmospheric; held by the cloud as sponge soaks up water; and science confirms this. . This atmospheric water is the origin of the waters of the great flood of Noah; and what is meant when scripture speaks of ‘windows of heaven opening’ and rain falling in torrential downpour. The other half of water is then the ocean/ seas here on earth which was gathered together into one location revealing the dry land. haShem in HIS power still holds the boundaries of water that it does not overflow and flood the entire planet as we see potential of this in rain storms and Tsunamis. Note that this ‘firmament’ aka ‘heaven’ (= the visible sky) is entirely different from the ‘heavens’ of the ‘universe’ in Genesis1:1. Heavens of Genesis 1.1 speaks of the entire universe of galaxies, planets, stars and its constellations rather. There often aren’t English equivalent for many Hebrew words. So, one must glean meanings of certain words from immediate context or similar usages in scripture.

#5. Plants first created in seed form before plant growth. Development, growth & success is a process.

Plants (in seed form) created on 3rd day, then water creatures, air creatures on the 5th day, then land creatures on the 6th day. Is Genesis 1.27 vs 2.22-23 a contradiction? There is misunderstanding in order here, Is it plants before man, or man before plants?. It is definitely plants before man as established in chapter 1. What chapter 2 depicts is that plants were created day 3 in seed form, but nothing grew because there was no rain and no man to tend the garden. And also, clearly the sun needed for photosynthesis (plant growth) was made on day 4. Then, HaShem sends rain, and sunlight and plants sprout and then makes Adam to tend the gardens. It is thought garden Eden was also made same day as plants. There’s a spiritual significance to plants made in seed form first on 3rd day; before sunlight on 4th day; and then watered to sprout along with man to tend the sprouted plants on 6th day. Truly every great thing that develops is first conceived in seed form, then via an ordered process, it is to be nurtured for it to develop and grow.

C. *Questions & Answers:

#1. Where is the throne of Yahweh then and now? And when was hell, hades, Gehenna made? The throne of Yahweh is clearly not the created ‘heavens’ of Genesis 1.1. The actual throne of EL was most likely preexisting before creation and in entirely separate realm/plane than the ‘heaven’ of Gen. 1.1. Hell/ Hades/ Gehenna were likely created once Lucifer and his angels were expelled from heaven. Though scripture says, satan was given this physical realm as playground until time of his destruction in the end.

#2. When were the angels created? And when did Lucifer, and 1/3rd angels rebel, and were consequently discharged from heaven? Some say angels preexisted before creation and the ‘us’ in ‘let us make man’ were likely angels; and Lucifer’s rebellion occurred just before the creation week. Others say angels were created when ‘heavens’ were created and the fall of lucifer occurred sometime in the creation week just before creation of man on 6th day. Some do think the creation week is not literal week, but could be ‘thousand years’ gap between day 1 and 2; and that is when the rebellion occurred. This theory is dubious and highly unlikely. My own take is that since angels aren’t part of this earthly realm, nor can they be numbered among non-human creations; they most likely existed before the 6 week creation time; and that Lucifer’s rebellion occurred at some point before the creation week. Why? Because if we take the 6 day week literally as is written, then it is highly unlikely that the events that precipitated the rebellion, the rebellion itself and the consequences thereof all occurred just within few hours or even within a day or so out of the creation week.

#3. But, if EL called creation ‘good’, how then did we end up with harmful organisms such as viruses, bacteria and all the natural disasters? Beyond the ‘curses’ outlined in Genesis 3, there were obviously other impact of Adam & Eve’s disobedience and fall on creation. You see, the fall initiated sequences of curses on all of creation. Many animals became ferocious towards humans and towards other animals; certain organisms ‘evolved’ into toxic and deadly in nature such as certain bacteria, viruses, parasites (hence HIV, Coronavirus, Measles, Meningitis etc). Along with natural disasters such as volcanoes, earthquakes, storms, wild fires. Man also began to physically age biologically, and body systems began accelerated decay, malfunction & genetic mutations all leading to disease states, illness and to an eventual physical death.

E. *Answers to objections from evolutionists and naturalists.

#1. But, science & evolution says you can’t prove biblical account of creation, and no evidence of creator.

Two simple words, “Irreducible complexity. You can’t prove the theory of evolution either; which requires even greater leaps of faith. To believe the intricate design and complexity of life and universe are product of random chance; which need not an intelligent creator or designer is in itself an incredulous absurdity; and hence equally a statement of faith; which makes atheism also a religious belief. On the other hand, common sense, logic & reality dictate, a highly ordered design necessitates an intelligent designer. The law of ‘Irreducible complexity’ shows that the intricate complexity of the universe could not have emerged by chance nor by gradual process even if given billions of years according to known scientific laws (for example: law of thermodynamics & entropy. It is impossible for the universe, and all living organisms to have ‘evolved’ from simple primordial soup to complex and intricate machine that it is today. In other words, all parts of the functioning system (or machine) needed to have been ‘there’ in the beginning for life to exist, survive & thrive in the first place.

Nature shows biochemical processes, biological structures cannot be reduced into its simple parts. All cellular organisms both micro and macro level could not have ‘evolved’ gradually from simple to complex organisms. In other words, all living organisms had to have come fully packaged and functioning as they are presently to have produced the complex life that we see. A primordial soup could not have evolved to man even if given gazillion years as this is scientifically impossible. It defines all laws of nature including common sense and logic. Man, all living organisms as well as the inorganic universe had to have been made fully assembled at the first onset; at the very beginning; at day 1.

F. *Prayer*: LORD, truly all of creation bears testimony of your marvelous works of wonder. Of your power, majesty and glory, who can fathom. You who dwell in unapproachable lights made near in Christ. Help us to be mindful of our words which should not be used to bless and not curse people you made in your image. Let us be obedient to keep the Sabbath rest, but mostly thankful for the spiritual sabbath rest in Yeshua. Open blind eyes, unstop blocked ears, soften hardened hearts, melt stubborn fattened hearts that they may see you in ALL of your creation; your existence clearly evident in created things and display of your power, proclaiming praise day in and out. That they may believe in you who dwelt amongst us many moons ago and offered to bridge the communion with you that our first parents severed. Amen.

Next on Midrash: Bereshis 1 thru 6.8 Part 2.

Warning: AI, social media platforms and the beast system's psychological digital conditioning. Wean yourself off major social media platforms NOW while you still can before it is too late.

This is based off of dreams I have had concerning digital mind control and the end-times. I will post this dream later on another post. Suffice it to say, the AI emerging technology will play great wicked and insidious role in the end times. A tool of the beast system to be exact.


I call it ‘psychological digital imprint’. Yes, I have just coined a new phrase; and yes I’m re-defining ‘digital imprint’ to mean a mark or impression, a stamp, a seal made by AI on a person’s psyche for the purposes of behavioral control, manipulation and modification.
Imprinting is not a new phenomenon, and it is widely known psychological (or rather behavioral) phenomenon in the animal world.

For example: ducklings. When a young duckling first hatch, they quickly form a strong bond and attachment to whatever thing (object, another animal, or human) they see for learning and for protection. This imprinting occurs at a very early and critical stage of ducklings development; typically shortly few hours after hatching.

# So, how is this example relevant or relate to human imprinting? More importantly, how can the idea of imprinting be exploited for human imprinting or rather for human mind control and manipulation? How does this play role in AI and social media world? How is it tool for Antichrist/beast system?

Well, you see, humans though being higher forms of intelligence, but still at the very basic core of behavioral principles, they are much like animals. In other words, humans can be imprinted to certain cues, beliefs, perspectives. Humans can be conditioned & ‘programmed’ for certain reward/punishment system. Please look up ‘conditioning’ in human behaviour in the field of Psychology. Not only will this AI enhanced technology play great role in control and manipulation, but it will eventually be one of the agent for employing the mark of the beast.

The scripture says the mark of beast is printed on foreheads. What if, this ‘forehead’ really means 'mind-control'? In other words, this means the mark will be imprinted on minds/brain/thoughts? What if there’s a way that the imprinted messages alter brain waves? Or send waves and frequencies that alter and interact with brain electrical activity thereby altering behaviors, thoughts, minds, beliefs?

One can already see the insidious role and impact of AI in social medial echo chambers; even with misinformation, disinformation and plain fake news promulgated and readily accepted as truth and facts. This phenomenon will worsen in the coming years. The experiment has been widely successful in Gen Z, the first generation to be born and raised into social medial age. And the next target demographics are the emerging generations. The goal will be to eliminate cognitive autonomy and human agency; meaning, these children will be unable to think for themselves. Their thoughts are controlled by a system….an intrusive system. They now are as ducklings just hatching out of an egg and being imprinted digitally by AI systems. Their own parents will have minimal to no control over what their children are learning, are being taught, nor can they affect it. All resistance will be futile.

# Is it then a hopeless case, as in, nothing to do about it, we are all doomed to be imprinted?!

Not necessarily. I suggest, or rather recommend, slowly weaning yourself off all social media avenues now while you still can before the experiment goes ‘live’ and is unleashed on the masses. Once it goes live, it will become much more difficult to resist or refrain from using social media. While you still have agency, autonomy and self-will intact, start weaning yourself off social media outlets. Consume social media content with moderation. Be mindful of echo chambers and social media algorithmic controlled one sided information. Beware of information and confirmation biases. Seek out other sources for counter side information. Seek out diverse opinions. Reduce exposure to all social media outlets and even television news media. The best way to avoid being digitally manipulated and controlled is abstinence from social media avenues especially the notorious ones such as Instagram (or “X”) and Facebook.

# What does it mean for believers? the church? For ministry? For individuals?

It means ministry will have to return to the book of ACTS model of church and ministry. Live and in person, street preaching, house to house communion and the like. All social media "ministries" will become easy target and method to alter messages with unseen mind controlling ‘waves’ and ‘frequencies’ transmitted thru these medium. [/b]Satan is the prince and the ruler of power of air (Ephesians 2.2). How else do you think the beast’s prophet would be able to cause all to worship the beast? (Rev. 13.15-17)? Power of information/message and mind manipulation via air and radio waves.

# How to resist? [b]The spirit of Yahweh. Be filled with the Spirit. Read scripture and saturate your mind with the Word of the LORD first, this will act as form of shield from digital imprinting. Arm yourself spiritually.

Now is the time to prepare for the inevitable in this highly information age. ‘Knowledge will increase, and people will run to and fro for information’ (Daniel 12.4), but there will be famine of the Rhema word of the Lord; many shall run to and from seeking for a word from the Lord, but shall not hear it (Amos 8.11-12). The devil will seek to capitalize on this knowledge increase and information overload.

Scripture says, The devil is the prince of the power of air, and will use this power to his advantage and in imprinting his image & message of the beast onto unsuspecting gullible people. While, you will still have the choice to choose to worship the beast freely, however the people who choose freely to worship the beast would be because they had been primed early on via digital manipulation; and they failed to resist the digital imprint.

In short: AI facilitated digital imprinting is priming people to easily accept and thus ‘freely choose’ to assimilate the beast system.
Your are in a battle being waged for your soul. There are unseen forces, invisible powers tirelessly working to assure your spiritual demise now, and in the future. Now is the time to prepare to resist the oncoming digital onslaught. To be forewarned is to forearmed.

Vision of American bald eagle and Bill of rights document torn into two = The 'Divided' State of American Empire.

I saw an American bald eagle and the bill of rights document laid side by side. There was something disturbing about both the eagle and the document. They were both torn into two such that there was only the remaining portion of the eagle was from chest up to the head. The bill of rights document also had the bottom half torn out. But even the top half that remained had spots at the edges missing, like as if bites were taken out of the paper.

The LORD showed me the interpretation thereof.

Eagle is the emblem of United States; on the national seal representing strength and pride. The bald eagle has always been American national symbol, and recently made a national bird. The bill of rights contain the first 10 amendments of US constitution which addresses peoples’ rights most notably right to assemble, free speech, religion and federal government limits in establishing national religion or infringing upon certain rights of the people.

Now, the vision of bald eagle and bill of rights torn in two is significant. It implies that United States will be divided. Clearly the country for the past 10 years has been embattled and riddled with divisions on many levels especially in politics, religion and social justice/equity/equality and other discrimination issues. But this vision is more than mere squabbles and political/religious divisive rhetoric that has historically plagued the country.

The complete rupture of the bald eagle and bill of rights is ominously foretelling that United States will experience a rupture, a tearing in half. . U.S will no longer be ‘united’ but ‘divided’ states. And this division will be precipitated by ‘bites’ and ‘tears’ out of the constitutional rights of the people. In other words, the people’s rights will be slowly tampered with and eventually stripped off. In other words, the US is due to crack into two from within. US will be divided. I am not sure how this will come about, nor when this will happen. But it will originate from some form or type of resistance movement, a revolution, perhaps even an all-out civil war of sort.

Again, I was not given a specific time, but I believe the vision is for a time yet in the future; and there are powers currently planning to make a ‘divided’ states reality, perhaps not intentional, but the unintended result will be a Divided States of American. With the current administration, this is certainly a possible terrifying reality.

BTW: the aforementioned vision/dream wouldn’t be the first. I have been having dreams off/on for the past 5 years concerning what’s coming to US; judgement really. America’s cup of iniquity and irony runneth over. To date, I have had series of visions of statue of liberty fading colour (America losing its liberty); the statue of liberty falling down (the fall of the empire or rather the land of the free); numerous cries of the need for balance scale of justice, and many more that all imply one message: America’s deterioration, eventual fall and these are all judgement and justice from the LORD Himself.

And one thing is critical: the church of America is being judged first and foremost. For judgement first is to those who themselves believers in Christ. But the LORD assures me also that HE would protect those who grieve are separated (not part of) the abomination that is church (Ezek 9.4). As warning, I will then echo the words of John in Revelation ‘flee from her, go out from Babylon lest you partake of her iniquities and judgement’. Seek righteousness, Seek the LORD perhaps then HE would hide (protect) you in the day of trouble. Zeph. 2.3,

On series Prophets & Prophesy. Today on the characteristics of prophets Part 1.

A. The calling of a prophet.

# Why study the biblical prophets? We must first seek to study and understand their messages within the historical, social and cultural context of their own times before we can interpret and apply to our more modern times; and thus avoid misinterpretation and misapplication. Many if not most of biblical prophecies abound in figurative and poetic language; which must be taken into account before interpreting.

# Why prophets were needed? Prophets arose in times of great darkness, and national apostasy and great threats from surrounding nations in Israel. Example: Shmuel arose when Eli and sons reached threshold of wickedness, and philistines oppressed Israel. Eliyahu arose in the peak of idolatry and worship of Baal in the days of king Ahab and queen Jezebel. Prophets sees and speak on the ideal of Yahweh; and points the way to this ideal. In doing so, they point out where men have broken laws of Yahweh. It is critical to note most prophecies fulfilment were conditional upon behavior or actions or lack thereof of individuals.. *More on conditional nature of prophecies later*

# Prophet’s Characteristics. Remarkable in their personal character; men of great moral caliber in the content of their messages; and in their insistence upon the character, zeal and purity of their Yahweh. They were ordinary men, yet extraordinarily devoted to Yahweh. They were adherents to the ways or law of Yahweh, champions of pure worship. Biblical Prophets were both realists and idealists; they saw and announced things as they were, but never lost hope. They were not advocates of utopia, neither were they agitators or advocates of social disorder. Not indifferent to the social ills neither hopeless.

# Prophet’s calling: divinely chosen and commissioned by Yahweh solely as a spokesman or mouthpiece. They didn’t choose to be prophets, nor elected by the people. It is an individual call to an office directly from Yahweh and not as member of school of prophets, nor inherited. Hebrew prophets were raised up from various background: from priesthood, from kings court, from rural life and from shepherd’s life. No prophet volunteered to the mission but often were found struggling to escape or make excuses. Moses was slow of speech, and Jeremiah said he was only but a youth. The call of the prophet demands a total surrender to the will of the Lord; and are people holy unto the LORD.

#Prophet’s credentials: “by their fruits you shall know them”. Prophets were people of excellent moral and ethical character, and their personal lives, doctrine and actions reflect thus. In predictive prophecies, fulfilment cannot always be applied immediately as true test since fulfilment may require long period of time or prophecy can be conditional, be delayed or post-phoned in fulfilment. Many times, the only immediate evidence of prophet’s authenticity is that their messages (life and character) reflect the character and truth of Yahweh as established by the law of Moses & by prior prophets.

#Prophets’ life of persecution: The prophets spoke at their own peril, and were mostly unwelcomed, rejected, persecuted and suffered martyrdom as a result. Their messages and warning were largely underappreciated, unheeded, scorned. No biblical evidence that the great prophets were received with approval nor rewards by the people at large; but always of the small minority and unpopular. History shows people resist social change. And even more so, the ones in power who benefit from the way things are will resist the change the most seeing it will no longer be to their benefit.

# Prophetic revelation: Prophets communicate or announce the Word of the Lord. True prophet’s inspiration came from his Yahweh’s given sense of right (or insight), while false prophets are inspired by the people’s gifts (or approval). Number 6.12 states revelation often came by dreams, open visions. And other times inspirations, and audible voices. Biblical prophets had to be convinced first by outward evidence, then by inwardly conviction that they were called by YHVH.

# Signs of ‘spirit of a prophet’ on an individual: 1. H/she will speak with unflinching conviction, & boldness. 2. He will show utter disregard for personal interests, fame, fortune or followers, and disdain for publicity stunts & self-promotion. Anyone who uses his ‘gift’ to seek position of statue or monetary gain can never be considered a true servant of the Lord. 3. He will challenge the social order or traditional practices (or popular trends etc). 4. He will be denounced, rejected by the representatives of this social order whether it be political, or religious. 5. He will inspire change in the minds and hearts of people. 6. He will be misunderstood, opposed, neglected, rejected, and defeated. 7. Yet they persist, for to them, the word of the Lord is as fire in their belly that must be released.

B. Take home points.

#1. The prophets were preachers of the law of the Lord, of righteousness; teachers of moral and ethical principles of Yahweh.

#2. Predictive prophecies (often of judgment) were for the purpose of eliciting change in behavior (repentance). Not soothsayers to satisfy people’s curiosity of the future.

#3. Prophets were realists but idealists. Men of great moral character and highly spiritual attuned and devoted to the ideals of Yahweh.

#4. Many times, the only immediate evidence of prophet’s authenticity is that their messages (life and character) reflect the character and truth of Yahweh as established by the law of Moses & by prior prophets.

#5. Prophets and their messages often met opposition, rejection, ridicule and persecuted unto death.

#6. The coming Messiah & His ‘ideal’ kingdom was ultimately the central purpose of prophecies.

#7. Must take into account cultural, social & historical timeline in which prophets lived and ministered before we can apply to modern times.

Series Identifying & dissecting the last empire of the Beast. Section A: Study of the apocalyptic visions of the books of Daniel and Revelation.

Today, a look at Daniel’s visions of world empires of the beast kingdom. Part 1 of 3.

On the series ‘Dissecting the last empire of the beast kingdom’ in the apocalyptic books of Daniel & Revelation’. Daniel’s vision of world empires (as relevant to Israel) in Daniel 2, 7 to 12 ( will discuss chapters 9 & 11 in separate section); Revelation 12, 13 & 17 (another post).

Key things to remember: firstly, most biblical prophecies pertained to Israel. Thus, these world empires prophesied in both Daniel and Revelation were only as pertaining to gentile nations that dominated and occupied Jerusalem, and oppressed Israel. So, end-time events focuses on Israel and surrounding middle east nations NOT Europe nor Americans.

Secondly, understand these prophetic visions were not recorded chronologically; this was not the point. Conveying information was the prime objective of most biblical authors. Notwithstanding, I have crystalized and adapted information to keep simple, non-convoluted and straightforward.

A. Daniel's visions of world empires.

Daniel 2: King of Babylon’s vision of statue= 4 world empires: Babylonian (head of gold). Medes-Persian (silver arms/chest). Greece (brass belly/thigh). Roman (iron legs). Ottoman-Turks (feet of iron) + 10 nations of the beast (10 mixed toes).

Daniel 7: Lion with eagles wings (Babylonian); a bear with 3 ribs (Medo-Persian); Leopard with 4 wings/heads (Grecian); 4th beast with iron teeth + 10 horns. From the 10 horns, 1 little horn that arises and overthrows 3 horns= 7 horns left ( =the 7 headed beast of Revelation).

Daniel 8: Ram with 2 horns (Medes & Persia); He Goat with 1 great horn (=Macedon/Greece) then 4 horns (4 kingdoms of Greece); out of the 4 horns, a little horn arises.

Daniel 9: 70 weeks prophecy & the 70th week (last 7 years of present age). *More on this later*

Daniel 11: The king of North vs. the king of South. *More on this later*

B. Dissecting Daniel’s visions.

# Daniel 2 gives account of 4 world empires that began during his time in Babylon. Babylon conquered by Medes. Medes became Persian as it expanded. Persian conquered by Roman empire. Daniel’s visions appeared to have stopped at Roman empire and its 10 nation beast empire. Thus it appears as if the beast arises directly from Roman empire. But as we shall see, this is erroneous interpretation. I will address this further later.

# Daniel 2’s iron feet with 10 mixed toes are extension off the Ottoman-Empire; which represent the 10 nations that will comprise the beast empire (aka: the revived 7th empire of Revelation). The 10 toes of iron and clay mixture, represents the 10 nations which will be a mixture of people who will not be united, though there will be a common element amongst them. Question is: what is this element that divides them and what is the element that unites them? We shall go further into this at a later time.

# Daniel 7 provides different image of same. The first three beasts represent the 3 empires: Babylonians (or Medes), Persian, Grecian. The features of the beasts (lion with wings, bear with 3 ribs, leopard with 4 heads, iron teeth..) all pretty much represent various characteristics of these empires and their prominent kings. The 4th beast in Daniel 7 most likely represent Roman empire, which does give rise to 10 nations of the beast carried over to succeeding empire.

# In Daniel 8, The he-goat with 1 great horn in Daniel 8 is The 1st king of Greece, Alexander the Great. After his death, the Grecia kingdom split into 4 namely: Ptolemaic kingdom of Egypt in the south; Seleucid empire in north (Syria); kingdom of Pergamon in Asia minor; and Macedonia in the west. Thus the 4 horns of Greece = the 4 kingdoms of Macedon (Grecia): Egypt, Syria, Macedonia, and Pergamon later fell to Roman empire. It seems Daniel’s vision was limited to 4th empire; which was historically Roman empire. The 2 Legs of iron are the Roman empire which split into 2 parts. The eastern leg of Roman empire eventually fell to the Ottoman-Turk empire (aka: the 7th empire of Revelation). *More on the 4th beast of Roman empire later*.

# Daniel 9 provides us with 70 weeks of prophecy (Daniel 9:24-27). It establishes certain events pertaining to Israel & the timing of both the First and Second Coming of the Messiah. It also evokes a terrible time of “great tribulation” towards the end of indignation of the gentiles in a future time period in the 70th week- the last 7 years of end of this present age. We shall discuss in depth in separate section examining Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy. And based on biblical chronological time line & the age of the world (Anno Mundi) theoretical frame work, we shall examine how close humanity is towards the 70th week, the last 7 years of this present age. *More on this later*

# In Daniel 10, he is visited by angel Gabriel who brings interpretation and clarity to his visions.

# Daniel 11 details the conflict between king of south and king of north, antichrist as king of North rise to power; and the great tribulation that ensues. *More coming later*.

# Daniel 12, begins at midpoint of tribulation and takes us to the end of Daniel's 70th week, after the great tribulation of saints. The purpose of great tribulation is outlined: to purify, purge, cleanse a bride ready for the banquet with the King at HIS coming; and make wise and righteous to shine forth and bright as stars forever.

C. Key takeaway points from both Daniel & Revelation.

#1. Daniel describes 4 world empires beginning with his time in Babylonian empire relevant to Israel and the holy land (Jerusalem).

#2. Daniel describes the 10 kings from 10 nations of the beast empire which will comprise the final world empire of the antichrist.

#3. And out of these 10 nations of beast empire of the last days, will arise the little horn = the beast= the antichrist.

#4. Daniel’s 70 weeks prophecy indicate a 70th week remaining- the last 1 week (=7 years) of this present age.

#5. The antichrist, little horn rises half way thru the 70th week (= 3.5 years) and initiates the great tribulation of saints.

Next: Where is the beast from? Who is Daniel 11’s King of North & the King of South? An In dept look at Daniel 11. This chapter zooms in on specific country of origin of the little horn, the king of North; which foreshadows the antichrist of last days.

Series: Shadows of the Messiah thru Scriptures. Beginning with Genesis.

Spoiler alert: The entirety of scripture really is about the Messiah, Yeshua all up & through.

“Then beginning with Moshe (Torah), and all the prophets, He (Christ) explained to them (disciples) all things concerning Himself in all the scriptures. Luke 24.27. “Search the scriptures…. they testify of Me; If you believed Moshe, you would believe Me also, for Moshe wrote about Me”. John 5.39, 46.

Beginning Midrash (torah/bible study) series: Shadows of the Messiah thru scriptures. Torah, also known as the Pentateuch, contains the first 5 books of Hebrew scriptures: Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.

We shall begin with the first book of the Torah known in Hebrew as Bereishit (“In the Beginning”).

Here's an introductory highlight of the account of Genesis. In subsequent posts, we shall dive in deep, dissect and analyze scriptures to extract gems, gold and eternal truths & mysteries contained therein.

In the beginning............

# The creation, the fall, the great flood & the tower of babel.

Yahweh speaks the world into existence ex-nihilo (out of nothing) within six days and rests on the seventh. Adam and Eve are fashioned on day number six, housed in the Garden of Eden, but they sin by eating of the tree of knowledge of good and evil; they are expelled from the garden. Adam & Eve births 2 sons: Cain and Abel. Cain kills his younger brother Abel. Ten generations later, Yahweh deems the created world too corrupt and wicked; and sends a great flood to destroy all living things. But first, Noah, the only righteous individual in his time, is commanded to build an ark to save himself, his family and a pair of each species of animal. The great flood comes and destroys all save for Noah and his family and a pair of each creatures. After the flood, Noah’s descendants repopulate and rebuild. Soon, humans decide to build a tower to reach heaven. Hashem knocks down the tower of Babel and sends confusion by causing them to speak different languages. Humans could no longer understand each other, thus disperses in various geographical locations.

# The Patriarchs: Avraham; Ishmael & Yitzhak; Esev & Yaakov.

Then comes Abraham, 10 generations from Noah, whom HaShem calls out of his father’s land at age of 95 to a land of Canaan promised to his future descendants and his seed multiplied; and he will be the father of a great nation and of many nations. However Sarah, Abraham’s wife is barren. Sarah suggests that Abraham marry her maid, Hagar, who bears him a son, Ishmael. After Ishmael is born, Sarah out of jealousy convinces Avraham to send Hagan and Ishmael away; and haShem agrees for Ishmael is not the child of promise. Year before Issac is born, Abraham as instructed by HaShem circumcise himself (and household) as sign of covenant, and he and Sarah are blessed with a son, Isaac, at the ages of 100 and 90, respectively. When Yitzhak is but in his teen years, HaShem commands Avraham to sacrifice his son on an altar. Avraham obeys, but haShem stops him just in time from sacrificing his son.

# Yaakov, the deceiver tricks Yitzhak and secures Esev’s blessings; is renamed Israel.

At age 40, Yitzhak marries Revkah, and after 20 years of barrenness, they are blessed with twin boys, Esev and Yakov. Yakov is a “tent dweller,” and Esev is a hunter. In his old age, Yitzhak desires to bless his firstborn as is customary. Revkah hears and coaches Yaakov to impersonate his brother to trick their father so that Yaakov is blessed instead. Yaakov heeds his mother’s counsel and thereby deceiving their father Yitzhak who blesses him instead of Esau. Esev finds out, and seeks to slay Yaakov. Yaakov then flees to his uncle Laban to escape his brother’s wrath for taking his blessings. In Laban’s household, Yaakov marries Laban’s two daughters, Rachel and Leah; grows prosperous; and has twelve sons. Upon Yahweh’s instruction, he returns to his father’s land to reconcile with Esau. En route back home, he wrestles with an angel and prevails; he is renamed “Israel”.

# Yosef the favoured one; jealous brothers sell him out into slavery. Becomes 2nd in command in Egypt in the time of famine.

Of Yaakov’s 12 sons, Joseph emerges his favorite. Yosef tells of his dreams which angers his brethren. The jealous brothers sell him to slave traders, Ishmaelites, and he ends up in Pharaoh’s house in Egypt. Joseph is wildly successful there, but is thrown into jail after he refuses the temptation of his master’s wife. Joseph is taken out of prison to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams, predicting years of plenty followed by a famine. Pharaoh is impressed and appoints Yosef governor and charges him with preparing for the famine. When famine sets in, people come from all over to purchase food from Joseph—including his own siblings. Joseph recognizes his brothers and interrogates them. One of his brethren, Simeon is held hostage in Egypt as the rest return to their father Yaakov, with instruction to return back to Egypt with the youngest Benjamin, the only brother with whom Yosef shares both father and mother. With much hesitance and sorrow, Yaakov finally releases Benjamin to return with them to Egypt.

# Yosef reconciles with his brothers; Israel encamps in Goshen, Egypt to survive famine.

The brethren return with Benjamin. Yosef sees Benjamin and is unable to contain himself and reveals his identity to his brothers. He invites the brothers to dinner and to go and bring back their father, Jacob and the rest to dwell in Egypt. Yaakov lives the last and happy 17 years of his life in Egypt having recovered from the long sorrowful years of absence of Yosef. Before his death, Yaakov gives blessings to 12 sons, along with Yosef’s 2 sons Manasseh & Ephraim; and instructs them to take his bones back to Canaan and bury him in the same sepulcher as his parents and grandparents in Hebron. The brothers carry out their fathers request. They ask for forgiveness of Yosef. Yosef tells them ‘what you meant for evil, haShem meant for good’. Yosef and his brethren and descendants live long and prosperous in Goshen, Egypt for all the days of their lives. Until another Pharaoh who did not know Yosef arises setting the stage for Hebrews 400+ years enslavement and subsequent exodus as recorded in the book of Exodus.

Next on Midrash. Shadows of the Messiah thru scriptures: Genesis chapters 1 thru 6.

To the church & the nations.

#1. Plumbline stretched. Rupture of echo chambers. Disruption of their apathetic see-saw of life. I will cause gridlocks in their ways of life.

A plumbline is stretched from east to west; north to south over the inhabitants of the land. For the LORD has indignation against the nations. For thus saith the LORD, I will do a thing the ears of everyone who hears will tingle. I will rupture their echo chambers; where they gather for themselves teachers who give them ear tickling messages. The people want their ears tickled, I will send ear tingling message. I will disrupt and rupture their online and offline networks of echo chambers.

These people carry on with life as on a see saw indifferent, cold, apathetic and numb to what’s happening about them. I have sent them series of signs and warnings, but they are ignored, not heeded and dismissed. They craft alternative narrative; and they say, the LORD will do no evil. But I will tip over their seesaw of life and disrupt their carefully curated web of lies and their comfortable apathetic lives. The storks of heaven know their ways; the ox knows its master’s crib, but this people do not know the ways of the LORD nor the judgement of the LORD. They do not heed the warning signs of the times. The plumbline is stretched. A violent whirlwind from nation to nation. I will disrupt, I will rupture, and will cause gridlock in their ways of life that they have no option but to listen. Yet I will revive and I will save a righteous remnant for praise and for glory. For the true remnants, I will give them a name, a fame and take away their shame. And when I begin, I will also make an end.

If you are a true believer, the LORD is challenging you to become a disruptive influence. Go into their echo chambers of lies and disrupt it.

Repent & believe. For the time of the coming of the LORD is nigh.

On the series: The feasts of YHVH & Messianic significance. Today: the festival of Shavuot (‘Pentecost’).

“These are the appointed times of the LORD which you shall celebrate….” - Leviticus 23:4.

There are 7 annual (+ weekly Sabbath) appointed feasts of the LORD. Please see previous posts for the rest of spring festivals. This section focuses on Shavuot, the last of spring festivals. Read how this OT festival Shavuot (Lev. 23.15-21) correlates to the NT Pentecost day (Acts 2.1). The genius of Yahweh.

“Then ‘day after Sabbath of Passover, you shall count 7 weeks of Sabbaths (49 days=Sefirat Omer =counting the Omer (barley sheaf). Then you shall keep the festival of Shavuot to the LORD’ ( Deut. 16.9-11; Lev. 23.16; Exodus 34.22). And on the 50th day after Passover, then you shall keep the festival of Shavuot to the LORD; you shall present a grain offering of new grain to the LORD (Lev 23.15-21)”.

This year, June 01 (sundown 5th Sivan in Hebrew calendar) marks the memorial of the feast of Shavuot, also known as “day of Pentecost,” in church age. Leviticus 23.15-21, Acts 2.1. Remember: Christ was crucified on Passover. Shavuot marks the conclusion of Passover, the redemptive story of Exodus of Hebrews from Egyptian bondage. Shavuot occurs on the 50th day; that is after 49 days (7 weeks of Sabbath) count after Passover. Also known as feast of weeks. Shavua is Hebrew for ‘week’ for the 7 week sabbath counted from Passover. Also known as “Pentecost” (Pente- 50th); it marks 50 days after crucifixion of Christ.

Note that while early first fruit is waived on the feast of first fruits, the latter first fruit is offered in the feast of Shavuot. The early rain brings forth early firstfruits; the latter rain brings forth the late first fruit. Modern Hebrew calendar marks Shavuot on a fixed date of Sivan 6, which corresponds to late May/early June- exactly 49 days after 2nd day of Passover on Nissan 16- which is also 2nd day after the Sabbath of Passover.

Shavuot in OT marks the day YHVH gave Moses the Torah (the Law) on Mt. Sinai, 7 weeks (49 days) after exodus of Egypt. Yahweh took Israelites out of Egypt to be chosen nation unto him; gave them His laws (Torah) in the land of Canaan; to be separate from pagan cultures about them. This covenant at Mt. Sinai to keep the Torah marked the birth of Israelite as a nation. But this old covenant application of Shavuot was yet merely ‘type and shadow’ of things to come; the better covenant mediated by Christ and the sending of HIS (law of) Spirit to the new covenant believers.

Shavuot in NT marks the advent of the giving of Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit). This is the beginning of fulfilment of Jeremiah 31.31-33. It was on feast of Shavuot, that the Spirit -as tongues of fire- was sent to the 120 disciples gathered in Jerusalem - the day now known as the day of Pentecost. See Acts 2.1-42. Today, we too, being saved by blood of Christ’s atonement, are given HIS Spirit; and the spirit writes the same Torah laws in our inward hearts; a continuous active process in a believers life.

Shavuot & its messianic significance: the redemption of Israel from bondage of Egypt is the equivalent of the redemption of church from bondage of sin. Christ was crucified on Passover as the sacrificial lamb whose blood bought our redemption. He resurrected on the feast of firstfruits being the firstfruits of they that slept and raised from the dead (see Leviticus 23: 15-21; 1 Cor 15.20). And 50 days after His crucifixion (resurrection & ascension), He sent the promise of the Ruach HaKodesh, the spirit of truth, upon the 120 disciples and all who will believe. Interestingly, it is on Shavout that Moses received the letter of the law for old covenant Israel, and on same Shavuot that the new covenant Israel received the law of the spirit.

Shavuot today and the future. It was written in Joel 2.28-32 ‘….I will pour my spirit upon all flesh’ which was partially fulfilled in Acts 2.1-4. As the 120 early disciples received the early rain of HIS Spirit which marked the beginning of church age; there remains yet another fulfilment of Joel 2.28-32, we today await the latter rain of HIS reviving Spirit before and towards end of church age. It will also be concomitant with the prophesy of those coming in the ‘spirit of Eliyahu’ spoken of in Malachi 4.4-6, and of Yeshua in Matt 17.10-13.

Take home points:

# Shavuot or Pentecost is critical time to remember the importance of the ‘law of Yahweh’, which is now of the spirit, not written in tablets of stone but being written in our hearts by the Spirit (Jer 31.31-33, Heb 10.8, 2 Cor 3.2-3); which is an ongoing active process in the daily lives of believers.

# This is the goal of the Christian life; the bearing the fruit of the law of the Spirit lest you be dismissed as ‘lawless’ one on the day of judgment (Matt 7.21-23).

#The indwelling Spirit enables one to produce good works & the fruit of the Spirit for ‘by their fruits you shall know them’. (Gal 5.18-23; Eph 2.10, Eph 5.9.

# Thus Shavuot marks the giving of the old covenant law except now in the new covenant, the law is being written by the Spirit on tablet of flesh (hearts of men). Exodus 31.18 (Decalogue written on tablets of stone). Luke 6.40; John 14.12, 15:1-8; 1 John 2.29, 1 Cor 1.9-10; 2 Cor 3.2-3; Hebrews 8.10.

Remember: Day of Passover= redemption of the soul. Day of Pentecost= giving of the spirit (of the law).

Next: fall feasts of the appointed times of YHVH.

If you call yourself prophet but......

-you seem to gather lots of followers (ie: preaching to the choir, and what people want to hear)

- you get tons of 'likes', and people invite you to loads of speaking places and such....

-and you make tons of money from followers etc, 'hub nub' with the rich, the fame, the beautiful and the powerful.


Dear, YOU ARE A PROPHET UNTO YOURSELF, AND A PROPHET OF THE PEOPLE NOT OF YHVH.



People follow & support those who they 'like' for some reasons- personality cults, charismatic, or simply, they like what they say. Both the 'prophet' and the 'follower' becomes a form of control and judgement unto each other.

You who call yourself prophet, you are being controlled and manipulated by your audience (followers). You benefit from their following, and they benefit from your lies and charm. Both of you are judgement unto each other.

If you are following such persons described above, friend, you ARE following someone who only tells you what you like.

Friends, THIS ONE IS NOT A TRUE PROPHET OF YAHWEH !!!!!


Because if they are truly truly called of the LORD, and preach HIS authentic undiluted message, They will have NO or minimal audience.


BE WISE AS SERPENT, THE TIME IS SHORT.

Next on the study: characteristics of true prophet & prophecy: the calling & the function of a prophet and role of prophecies

Appointed times (Mo’edims) of the YHVH and Messianic significance.

“These are the appointed times of the LORD which you shall celebrate….” - Leviticus 23:4.

Vaykira (LEVITICUS) 23 lists the appointed times of the LORD given to Moses on Mount Sinai. There are 7 (annual) or 8 appointed times or festivals of the LORD. There are eight major feasts of the LORD; 4 occur in the spring time and the other 4 in the fall time. These are the ordained feasts of the LORD and contain prophetic plans and counsel of the LORD. YHVH’s eternal plan is revealed through the seven annual Feasts of the LORD plus the weekly sabbath. The feasts and holy days are based on the Hebrew calendar. Yeshua observed these feasts; and so did the apostles and early believers. Yeshua celebrated Pesach on His last earthly night. Sacrifice is the major feature of the feasts; thus each festival has its own requirements for offerings & additional sabbath days. See Leviticus for more.

The prophetic significance of Moedims: “A review of the first four feasts reveal that Yeshua was crucified on Pesach, buried on Unleavened Bread, raised on First Fruits and sent the Ruach HaKodesh on Shavu’ot. Because we have not yet seen the fulfillment of feast number five - Trumpets - we remain under the orders of Shavu’ot”.

The 8 Moedims of the LORD: This part will focus on 4 Spring festivals (+ weekly Sabbath). *See previous posts for the 8 Feasts*

The Sabbath Day (i.e., Shabbat, a weekly feast); Passover (Pesach) ; Unleavened Bread; First Fruits (Yom habikkurim); Pentecost (Shavu’ot); Trumpets; Atonement (Yom Kippur) ; Tabernacles (Sukkot). The first three feasts are in spring time of March and April. The fourth one, Shavu’ot, marked the summer harvest and occurs in late May or early June. The last three feasts, Trumpets, Yom Kippur and Sukkot happen in the fall time around September and October.

About Hebrew time & calendar: The Hebrew calendar (luach ha’yare’ach ha’ivri) is based on lunar (moon) cycle rather than solar calendar of the western Gregorian calendar. The Hebrew calendar is best described as luni-solar. Lunar calendar is based on phases of moon; and the seasons of the year are marked with the festivals or appointed times (Mo’edim). Each month in a lunar calendar begins with a new moon. Extra month (Adar 2) added every 2 or 3 years to ensure the festivals occur in their proper seasons. Rosh ha’chodesh (head of the month) is beginning of the month and it is noted when the moon appears as sliver in the sky. Rosh chodashim is start of biblical new year (Nisan 1); and also marks the exodus from Egypt.

Rosh Chodashim represents the start of biblical year for marking festivals (Exodus 12.2). The month of Nisan was biblical called Aviv which is the start of spring. Aviv was changed to Nisan post Babylonian exile. In the Torah, the day begins at sundown and ends at the next sundown. A week begins on the 1st day of the week (Sunday) and ends on shabbat the 7th day of the week. Shabbat is the critical Mo’edim since it is one explicitly commanded to be observed in the Aseret haDiberot (the 10 commandments). The sabbath foreshadows the olam habah (world to come); that is the 1000 year reign of Christ.[/b] Other biblical calendar cycles: Every 7th year was shm’mitah- a sabbatical year (Lev. 25:2-5), and after 7 cycles of sh’mitah the yovel, or Jubliee year (Lev 25.8-17).

The spring festivals: Spring is start of biblical year and marked by two of the three annual pilgrimage festivals (shalosh regalim), Pesach (Passover) and Shavuot (Pentecost). Exodus 23.14. The spring holidays reveal the 1st coming of Yeshua. It is picture of death, burial and resurrection of the Messiah. Yeshua was crucified on erev Pesach (night of Passover) during the sacrifice of Passover lambs. HE was buried during festival of unleavened bread; resurrected from the dead on day of firstfruits. 50 days after Passover, on the feast of Shavuot (Pentecost), the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) is sent to believers. Lev. 23:15-16, Acts 1.6-8, Acts 2.1-4. Luke 24.27, 24.44; John 5.46; Acts 26.22. Offering:

1.The weekly Shabbat. Vayikra Leviticus 23:2-3. Sabbath rest of creation. Reflects YHVH’s 6 days of creation, on 7th day rested. It was also given as sign of covenant between YHVH and Israel (Exodus 31.13,17) and as remembrance of redemption from Egypt. 7th day Sabbath rest after 6 days work days foreshadows 1000 years of rest in the millennial reign of Christ after 6000 years of earth history). According to sages, the world’s age is as seven 1000 year ‘days’ corresponding to the 7 days of creation. Olam hazeh (this world) will exist for 6000 years, and the 7th millennium will be era of worldwide shalom in the olam haba (world to come).

2. Passover (Pesach). Vayikra Leviticus 23:4-8 Passover begins officially on 14th day of the 1st month (Nisan 14). Passover seder occurs on evening of 14th Nisan. Passover is the Feast the story of redemption and of salvation. In Old covenant, the blood of the Lamb delivers the Hebrews from the Egyptian bondage. During the tenth plague in Exodus 12:5, Egypt’s first born sons died when the angel of death “passed over” the homes of the Hebrews with the blood of the lamb on their door posts. In the New covenant, Christ’s was the Passover Lamb whose blood delivers from sin. Thus, It is no mere coincidence that our Lord Himself was sacrificed on Passover. In Egypt the Hebrew marked his house with the blood of the lamb. Today the Christian marks his house – his body, “the house of the spirit” with the blood of Christ. We today as believers are commanded to celebrate Passover ‘this (Passover) do in remembrance of me’ (Luke 22.19, 1 Cor. 11.24-25).

3. Unleavened Bread (Chag HaMotzi). Leviticus 23:6. This feast of unleavened bread begins the next night on the 15th of the 1st month. For 7 days, unleavened bread is eaten. Hebrew houses are cleansed of all leaven; and none to be found in their dwelling places. Leaven or yeast represents sin. Unleavened bread represents a holy life or walk with the LORD. The body of the LORD is also the unleavened bread in the new covenant as Yeshua is the ‘bread of life’ (Lechem haChayim). His body was without sin (leaven). Christ was born in Beit-Lechem (house of bread). Yeshua’s burial occurred during the feasts of unleavened bread.

4. First Fruits (Yom Habikkurim). Leviticus 23:9-14: ‘The feasts of first fruits, also called ‘feast of weeks’ occur the next day after the Sabbath (of Passover). Feast of first fruits is acknowledging the fruit of the land as the people were to bring early barley crops and ‘wave the sheaf before the LORD’. Yeshua was the firstfruits of the living in HIS resurrection. In HIS ascension into heaven, Yeshua ‘waved HIMSELF’ before the LORD. Sefirat haOmer is the counting of barley sheaf (omer) and begins Nisan 16 to Sivan 5; the countdown to Shavuot. Lev. 23.15-16 ‘you shall count to 7 full weeks (49 days) from day after Sabbath, from the day you brought sheaf (Omer) of wave offering; and then you shall keep the festival of Shavuot to the LORD (Deut 16.9-10). It is otherwise known as Pentecost (50th) day. It is tragic that the modern church has replaced this feast with “Easter,” named after Ishtar, the pagan goddess of fertility revering objects of fertility such as the rabbit and the egg.

5. Pentecost (Shavu’ot). Leviticus 23:15-21 says, “Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shell ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the Lord.”. Shavuot marks the beginning of summer harvest in late May or early June. Leviticus 23.17 requires offering of bread baked with leaven. Pentecost marks the giving of Torah at Sinai; and also the giving of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) to the church (Sivan 6-7). The giving of Torah on mount Sinai in the old covenant, the letter of the law written on tablets of stones in the old covenant; the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the new covenant after ascension of Yeshua signifies the law of Spirit being written in hearts of flesh. The genius of the YHVH.

Key take home points from Hebrew prophetic Institution.

#1. An Hebrew prophet is primarily a spokesman for YHVH; called, trained and appointed to the office by Yahweh. NO such thing as ‘school of prophets’ to learn how to be prophet & prophesy. [/b]The concept of ‘school of prophet’ is gross misapplication of scripture. Man trained prophet = prophet of man/self. This is where and why people start 'school of prophets' charging and paying thousands to learn to be prophet and prophesy. It is a scam, RUN!

#2. Biblical prophet main function was NOT primarily predictive. The prophets were primarily preachers of righteousness of the law of the LORD. They were teachers of moral and ethical principles; and of genuine spirituality; social reformers who challenged social injustice, the rich and the powerful; and were champions of the lowly, the despised and the downtrodden (disadvantaged).

#3. [b]After Moses & the law, proceeding prophets added 'nothing new' unto the foundation laid by Moses in the Law. Without Moses and the Law, the later prophets would not have any real function. Similarly, in the new covenant, without the foundation laid by Christ, the apostles would have no real function.

#4. The priesthood & judges functioned as prophets. The corruption of the priesthood later paved the way to a formal prophetic institution in Israel.

#5. There were 2 distinct classes of prophets: the great prophets (the office of prophet) and the ‘sons of prophets’ (the gift of prophecy).

#6. The great prophets did not depend on the people for rewards, nor influenced by the people thus maintained purity of message, purpose and the pure truth of YHVH.

#7. The sons of prophets corrupted and became dependent on rewards (monetary) from the people; resorted to prophesying lies pleasing to the kings and the people. . <----THIS IS THE MAJORITY OF TODAY'S SO CALLED 'PROPHETS' ESPECIALLY ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND MEGA CHURCH ASSOCIATED "PROPHETIC SCHOOLS" & other smaller independent ministries prophetic training seminars.

IT'S ALL A SCAM. YOU CANNOT TEACH ONE TO BE A PROPHET. IT'S A CALL AND AN OFFICE FROM AND BY YHVH. ONLY YHVH TRAINS THEM- and the training is in daily crucified life of sorrow, hardships and difficulties- school of hard knocks of life. Training by YHVH takes years, and occurs in a private hidden place of life. And the cost is NOT monetary, JUST COSTS YOU TO SACRIFICE PARTS OF YOUR LIFE.

Next: characteristics of prophet & prophecy: the calling & the function of a prophet and role of prophecies.

Study on Prophets & Prophecy: Brief background of the Hebrew prophetic institution.

This section may seem ‘boring’ and uninformative, but background information provides certain pre-requisite framework for understanding why prophets were needed, or why YHVH called them; and hence their function in Israelitish nation. *Pay attention to the highlighted*

Brief background: The Hebrew prophetic institution: In ancient east, there was a rampant belief that the divine was in control of all earthly human affairs. Nothing was random nor by chance. Thus 'divination' played significant role in governmental and worldly affairs generally not just for the Hebrew nation. Etymologically, the word prophet in Hebrew word is Nabi; which denotes one who proclaims a message for another.

An Hebrew prophet: is primarily a spokesman for Yahweh. Prophecy may contain elements of the past, present or future. The term prophet in the old testament was first applied to Avraham, then to Moshe, Aharon, the 70 elders of Israel (spirit of prophesy), Miriam, Deborah, and Samuel. Abel, Enoch and Noah were later recognized as prophets by Christ and in the epistle of Jude.

Classification & order of early Hebrew prophets: the priests & the judges functioned as 'prophets of YHVH before the formal prophetic office in Israel. Though not explicitly stated biblically, yet a clear classification and order exist in scripture. These include: the great prophets vs. the sons of prophets; major prophets vs. minor prophets; writing prophets vs. the non-writing prophets. The major vs minor prophets is based on volume of their writings. Pre-Babylonian exile prophets (Isaiah, Amos, Hosea, Jeremiah); Exilic prophets (Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel); Post-exilic prophets (Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi).

Moses & earlier prophets: Moses was the quintessential prophet of a different order because of his role in the early leadership and establishment of the nation of Israel. And of him it was said, ‘EL will raise another prophet just like him…’. And the LORD did raise prophets that came after Moshe, but ultimately THE great prophet to come was fulfilled in Christ.

It is critically important to underscore, that after Moshe, proceeding prophets added "nothing new" unto the foundation laid by Moshe in bringing the Law of the LORD. Without Moshe and the Law, the prophets would not have any real function. Thus the role or message of prophets bring or add nothing new to what is already laid down by the Law of Moses. . The later prophets pointed the people back to the Law of Moses.

The Levi priesthood & Judges of Israel: in the early days, judges as well as priests received divine messages and thus functioned as prophets. Example: Deborah, Gideon, Samson, and of course Samuel. The priesthood of Levi functioned as the teachers and enactors of the law of Moses, but the priesthood later had become even the chiefs of the prevalent corruption. Their failure gave way to the prophetic ministry. The role of prophet was ill defined nor rarely known until the time of Monarch. Shmuel was the prophet who oversaw this transition. It was then that the work of prophets became critical and imperative.

Most Hebrew prophets arose during the time of great national apostasy (departure from the law of YHVH), a time of national crisis often due to threats of war & defeat by and from enemy nations.

Samuel & the Monarch of Israel: later, the monarch replaced the judges; and the prophetic office functioned distinctly from the priesthood. Samuel was priest, the last judge and a prophet who played key role in the transition of the leadership of Israel from Judges to monarchy; and from priesthood to prophethood.. Samuel was thought to establish the school of prophets; or of a better term, the prophetic guild. It was not a school in the sense of today, but a company of men with same interests and goal who devoted their lives to service of Yahweh.

The later prophets: include Amos and Hoshea were sent to prophesy to the Northern (Ephraim) Israel; and Yeshayahu, Micah and Jeremiah were prophets sent to the Southern Israel (Judah). Daniel, and Ezekiel were exilic prophets who spoke to the people of their situations during Babylonian exile. Daniel spoke of the world empires and the ultimate coming kingdom. Post Babylonian exile, were prophets namely Haggai, Zachariah whose main role was to give returned Israel encouragement in rebuilding the temple in the challenging times; and Malachi who taught continuing devotion to the law of the Lord.

The1st order of prophets: Samuel was said to have begun the first prophetic order. His call and ministry marked a transition in the development of the office of a prophet. It is comprised of the great men and women who prophesied independently such as Samuel, Elijah, Elishah, Amos, Yeshayahu, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the rest. They were great because they maintained their independence preserving individuality (and truth of YHVH) even when they ministered at the same time; though their messages share common theme. The great prophets did not receive pay from the people, nor supported by the people; which enabled them to stick to the truth.

The 2nd order of prophets: were so called ‘sons of prophets’, not because their fathers were actual prophets, but because they were associated with certain great prophets such as Shmuel, Eliyahu, and Elishah. The sons of prophets, first organized by Samuel, are comprised of those who worked within a group or company of like-minded people united with a common purpose of serving Yahweh. Sons of prophets first mentioned in 1 Sam 10.5. They were men who were moved by the Spirit of YHVH in various times but without the specific office or calling of a prophet. Under the new covenant, it would perhaps be classified under ‘spirit of prophesy’ or ‘gift of prophesy’. Other examples of spirit of prophesy operating in the old covenant: the 72 elders of Isreal, Gideon, Jephthah, Samson or even king Saul and David; though David was later called prophet by Peter in the book of Acts.

Gad and Nathan were 2 genuine prophets from this company of prophets who stood in the courts of David. But most of these sons of prophets later became corrupted as they turned to the people for livelihood and thus prophesied lies according to what the people wanted (Micah 3:5-7, Jeremiah 23, Ezekiel 13). The decline of the integrity of the sons of prophet can be traced back to the persecution of jezebel, wife of Ahab king of Judah in the days of Elijah.

The sons of prophet gave rise to false prophets that flooded Israel later on. The 100 prophets that Obadiah saved from the wrath of Jezebel in the days of Elijah were likely of the order of the sons of prophet. The 400 court prophets of Achav were thought be of the corrupted sons of prophet. In those days, no true great prophet had much to do with the sons of prophets (Amos 7:14).

#1. Pursue & recover. Salvation is near.

Ahmed, a lot has been taken from you, and you have endured much loss. And you have wondered, should I pursue, will I recover? Thus, to you the LORD has given a word saying ‘pursue, for you shall recover all’. Also, there is someone near that you may ask for guidance, open your mouth and speak. Salvation is not so far beyond the sea, it’s near, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may listen, hear and do. Amen.

#2. Come, I will make you fishers of men. Launch deep, & cast your net on another side.

There is a couple, you run a family business; oh it’s Christian based services. However, for some time now, you have being felt drawn to something more. Indeed, there is more. The LORD is calling you to return to youth ministry or young adult ministry, to help shepherd and provide much needed guidance for Gen Z and possibly the subsequent generations. They are as sheep without strong shepherds; susceptible to wolves devouring.

The date 11/04 is significant, as the LORD gave you a dream, strong impression, a vision that left you mysteriously puzzled. As the LORD bid the disciples who were fishermen, so the LORD bids you to, ‘come and I will make you fishers of men’- that which does not perish but is everlasting. You have toiled all night where you are and have caught nothing. Come, launch out deep, and I will show you where to cast your net, that even you will not be able to draw up the net for the plenty of fish that shall come up.

Worry not about how you shall do make it financially, Is it not written ‘do not muzzle the ox that threads out corn’. And the one who labour in hope must also partake of the fruits of his labour in hope. The LORD who calls you shall sustain you. Amen.

Study of the apocalyptic visions of the books of Daniel and Revelation. Identifying & dissecting the last empire of the Beast.

Why study Daniel & Revelation?

Simple: to be forewarned is to be forearmed. Yeshua warned ‘See, I have given you the signs and events of the end of age, that you may take heed and be on guard’. For I tell you the generations that see these signs will not pass away till it be all fulfilled… when you see Daniel’s abomination of desolation…..let the reader understand, and him with ears hear what spirit says.

The visions and interpretation given to Daniel the visioner and John the revelator contain general instructions, encouragement and admonition for the church living in the end of age. The apocalyptic books describe the “Times of the Gentiles”- which officially began during Babylonian occupation of Jerusalem, domination and persecution of Israel from Daniel’s time in Babylonian exile thru the ‘70 weeks of prophecy’ and will continue until the end of age when Messiah sets up an everlasting kingdom (the Millennial reign of Christ).

The final kingdom of the Antichrist will be a composite of these previous gentile nations. Identifying the last empire gives us clue to the origin of THE beast.. And, by the will and grace of Yahweh, I shall endeavour to present my study findings on the nature of the beast methodically and analytically.

Daniel’s 70th week prophecy begins ‘at the end of indignation, when the times of the gentiles and transgression has reached its end’. Daniel’s 70th week include the 3.5 years= 42 months =12600 days of the great tribulation of saints; culminating in the 2nd coming of Christ following before the wrath of Yahweh falls on those left behind.

There seem to be some misunderstandings that the events of Daniel and Revelation are fulfilled, gone and irrelevant now or in the future. THIS is gross misinterpretation of scriptures with potential catastrophic consequences for those who may live thru these experiences unprepared. Careful exegetical objective reading of scripture will prove plentifully that the events described in these apocalyptic books have not taken place in human history and are written to be understood as yet for a time in the future.

These apocalyptic books can be so dauntingly difficult to comprehend and interpret at times because of historical, cultural, and language barriers and differences between western vs eastern way of writing, thinking and understanding. Put simply, much is lost in context and translation. It’s critical to keep in mind the “Law of Dual Prophetic Fulfillment” in studying prophetic scripture especially in studying and understanding the book of Daniel and Revelation especially.

Granted, many of Daniel’s prophecies, for example of the little horn had been fulfilled in the person of Antiochus Epiphanes, the Syrian captain of the Seleucid kingdom of Grecia. Yet, he only foreshadowed another little horn that is yet to come towards the end of age. . Therefore, careful analysis of scriptural description of this Epiphanes character gives huge pieces of clues to the identity of the Beast. Daniel confirmed this when Gabriel told him the vision pertains to the time of the end. Christ Himself in HIS sermon on the end times referred to the events of Daniel 'the abomination that makes desolate'. Therefore, the ultimate fulfillment of this prophecy awaits the end time.

We need to study and know these events because Christians will be on the earth during the reign of Antichrist, at the time of great tribulation. And these events may occur in your lifetime. . These prophecies give us important details that we need to know in advance, so that we are prepared. The prophecies refer to a specific time at the end of indignation when the times of gentiles are fulfilled, a vile individual that will arise and establish his empire, domain and rule with iron fist, who will persecute ALL Israel. All Israel includes all both the redeemed ethnic Israel and all true believers in Christ by faith.

Key take home Nuggets:

#1. Though many of the events of the book of Daniel has occurred, it was foreshadowing THE main event of the end of age. There is yet another Beast, little horn and THE antichrist and THE great tribulation that is yet to grace the face of earth; to try all men. It is critical to be aware of these, accept the brutal reality and face facts of scripture; and thus, be thoroughly prepared in case you find yourself alive in the time of these events. Denial does not help matters, will not erase truth nor distort biblical facts to your favour.

#2. Ample scripture passages indicate that the church will be here to experience the wrath of the antichrist (=great tribulation).

#3. Christ and the apostles emphasized the need to be ready and prepared as those who are drunk, drowsy and asleep in the day.

#4. HE is coming ‘as thief in the night’, ‘when the world is at (false) peace & safety’ & ‘drunk, drowsy & asleep’ at noonday.

#5. Brethren, friends: stay ‘woke’. Stay ‘woke’. Stay sober. Do not be caught off guard, asleep and drunk and in darkness.

#6. Have extra oil in your lamp. Trim the wick & put the ‘lamp’ on a stand where it burns brightly.

#7. to be forewarned is to be forearmed. Refuse to be deceived by any man. Watch & pray.

I prayer the Ruach of the LORD open blind eyes, unstop clogged ears, soften hardened hearts to perceive, understand, to heed & obey HIS ample warnings. Amen.

Maranatha !!.

#1. Do not mix with heathen idols and ways; and I will send refreshing rain and multiply you.

Ravi. You are a minister at small community local church in small town in India. As of late, there’s no more enthusiasm in ministry and church growth is sluggish and stagnant. You feel the well has dried up. You have attempted to jump start your small struggling congregation, improve numbers, however, not by the right way. It seems you are thinking of mixing Christ, some elements of Christianity with elements of Hinduism in order to draw in crowd.

Ah, says the LORD is saying ‘is it not because my Spirit, the glory has departed that you are now seeking to mingle with the gods of land?. Have I not said, you shall not worship the LORD as the heathens of the land. Therefore, cast off the works of darkness. For how you can you partake of the cup of the LORD, and of the devils? What, do you want to provoke the LORD to anger? Break down the molten images, tear up and burn those pagan scrolls, destroy the altars of those statues your brought in; works of man’s hand, of wooden and metals that cannot see, nor hear, nor speak, nor save. Wash and be clean. Bring no unclean things, and I will receive you, and come as refreshing rain, both the latter and the former rain- the rain of HIS Spirit; to multiply and add to your congregation, saith the LORD.

#2. Fret not because of the wicked, rest in the LORD and keep HIS ways and you shall dwell securely in the land.

Arinze. You dwell among so much corruption, filthy snakes, wickedness and just plain evil. You want to practice righteous living, be a good Christ follower and model good morals, and ethical practices. But the people you live and work with and your entire environment make it essentially difficult to do good and live a godly life. You feel constantly pressured and coerced that either you join the game of corruption or ‘die’. In fact, you even fear for your own life; as in your only chance of thriving and surviving is to join the game of wickedness. This is NOT so. The LORD has sympathy for your predicament. But such are the struggles of all those who desire to live a godly life in the midst of this increasingly depraved world.

And the LORD speaks 'do not fear the wicked and do not envy them even when they seem to outwardly prosper in doing evil. Fear the LORD, trust the LORD, resist evil and do good; and you will live in the land safely. Even a little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of the wicked. The LORD has promised never to forsake the righteous, nor see them beg for bread. Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him. Keep the way of the LORD, and HE shall cause you to inherit the land. The wicked though they prosper for a time being, will be cut off; and are as grass that withers'.

Peace & Blessings be upon you and yours.

Key take home lessons from series 'prophets & prophesy'.

#1. A biblical prophet is simply a spokesperson of Yahweh, and their function was/is primarily forth telling of the Word of Yahweh. A biblical prophecy is thus speaking forth the heart, the mind, the counsel and the will of the LORD. The Spirit of true prophesy is the testimony of Christ as its end goal. More on roles of biblical prophet coming later.

#2. Predicting the future was a rather minor and incidental part of a biblical prophet. And when biblical prophets foretold the future, it was always in larger context and relevant to Israel’s or world history, human condition and destinies. It was not mere fortune prediction in trivial matters in unrelated, detached random facts and for random persons. More on characteristics of biblical prophecy coming up.

#3. Predictive element is not infallible test of true prophet. . Accurate prediction is not the principle characteristics of prophecy. More on test or marks of true prophet and prophecy later.

#4. Major portions of biblical prophecies were conditional upon Israel’s behavior. Thus, biblical prophets have often predicted things that went unfulfilled because conditions changed. More on conditional prophecies and purpose of prophecies later.

#5. Beware of anyone who calls himself prophet or of the sort, yet, prophecies has no biblical foundations, contradicts YHVH’s logos or character evident in scripture; and his or her prophecies are mostly predictive nature-of personal or non-personal information meant for self-glorification, typically for 3 reasons: followers, fame & fortune. And remember, ‘by the fruits, you shall know them’. More coming on discerning true prophets vs false prophets, judging prophecies vs false prophesies.

Satan is upping his game of deception with subtle trickery and counterfeits. A counterfeit looks real outwardly, only those trained to discern by the spirit will be able to recognize falsehoods. If you keep these points in mind you will do well in recognizing falsehoods amongst cacophony of so called prophetic voices today.


Coming Next: Background & brief history of the Hebrew prophetic institution.

Beginning series on "Prophets & Prophecy.

Scripture warns of proliferation of false prophets and lying voices. Equipped with proper biblical understanding, you will learn to detect the subtle counterfeits that appear real outwardly first. . And then by the fine tuning of the spirit, you can discern the subtle differences hidden from natural eyes. Satan is upping his game of deception; you too ought to up your detective game.

The elementary of who is a biblical prophet & prophecy? It’s crucial to be able to recognize firstly who or what a biblical prophet looks like, who is a true representative of Yahweh. the better way to detect Yahweh’s accredited prophet is by studying the lives, teachings & works of the prophets in scripture, including Christ and the apostles.

ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD PROPHET: the Hebrew word Navi comes from old semitic word Nabi whose original root word means "one into whom someone else or something enters"; and thus ‘bubbles forth’ or ‘gushes forth'. In Arabic, Naba’a means ‘to declare’, ‘proclaim’, ‘announce’. Thus, a Nabi is a proclaimer, announcer, messenger. Putting these definitions together, a Nabi (prophet) would be one in whom something or someone enters; or one possessed by a spirit; and who announces a message for that one or spirit.

BIBLICAL PROPHET DEFINITION: Thus, a biblical Navi (prophet) is one in whom the Spirit of Yahweh enters and thus bubbles forth to declare the message of this divine Spirit. This definition of a prophet is also confirmed by Scriptures in Exodus 7.11-12. Aaron is called Moses’ prophet; that is, Aaron is Moses’ mouth (=mouthpiece= spokesperson). Thus, in its simplest form, a biblical prophet is a spokesperson and a mouthpiece of the Spirit of the Yahweh. An idea often expressed by prophets calling themselves as mouth of YHVH (Jeremiah 1.9, Ezekiel 3.1-4, Amos 3 vs. 8 . Biblical prophecy then is simply the word of the LORD, the will and the mind of the Almighty. . The term prophet was first applied to Avraham, then to Moses. In the early years of the Hebrews, a prophet was known commonly as a seer (1 Sam 9:9).

FORTH-TELLING NOT FORE-TELLING (future prediction): There may be an element of foretelling or prediction, but their primary function was that of forth-telling ‘thus saith the LORD’. . There were more prophets who made not a single prediction that those who predicted. For example: John the Baptist was called the greatest of prophets, yet the only prediction he made was that of the coming Messiah. Christ Himself could have predicted to us the entirety of human history-at least significant moments, but HE did not do this; neither did the prophets nor apostles. . This tells us a great deal about the true purpose of prophets and prophesy. Christ is the one whom the law and the prophets foreshadowed, revealed and pointed towards. the end goal and the spirit of prophesy is to reveal Christ and HIS kingdom. . This is (and ought to be) the goal, purpose and role of every true biblical prophet and prophecy.

Yes, Satan & demons also have prophets: if a prophet is simply a spokesperson for another, then, demons or rather the devil too have human spokesperson and evil spirits have prophets. This is where divination, witchcraft, soothsaying and the like come into play. In ancient world, other nations too had prophets or diviners which Israel copied to HaShem’s displeasure. For example: prophets of Baal and Asherah (1 kings 18).

A FALSE PROPHET in its simplest then, is one who speaks for another spirit (demons or man) . In Jeremiah 23, false prophets prophesy by Baal; that is, they speak for Baal. Though they may falsely claim to speak for YHVH but speak for another. ). For example, the false prophet of antichrist in the last days. Today, it would be false prophets of certain political figures though they may hide behind the Name of the LORD. They do not hear nor speak for Yahweh.

And yes, a false prophet can indeed accurately predict the future. Correctly predicting future is not necessarily evidence of true prophet. One can receive accurate information, insight and knowledge from the devil and the demonic realm. But by their long enduring fruit (of spirit) or lack thereof, and by their doctrines, you shall be able to discern them.

#1. Do not consult the medium, there’s no light in them but an open door to darkness and curses.

An individual named Veronica W: you quite recently lost loved one. And having incredibly difficult time dealing with the loss that you are contemplating consulting with mediums to communicate with the deceased. For thus saith the LORD ‘should you not seek the LORD rather? Why should you inquire of the dead on behalf of the living’? Can the dead speak? There’s no light in the grave but darkness and defilement’.

Don’t do it. This is necromancing which is clearly forbidden in scriptures (Leviticus 19, Isaiah 8.18-20). If you insist on dabbling with these avenues, you will only open door way for darkness to enter thereby bringing accursed things (curses) to your life (Deut. 7.26). And your latter state worse than the former’ (Matt 12.43-45).

#2. Forgive and love unconditionally as the LORD.

A man named Hadith, your adulterous wife has left you for another man. But I see you are a good man at heart, decent, caring; and you were kind and good to her. So, her leaving left you heartbroken and unappreciated. Now, she is pleading for to return to you (or she will). You are obviously hesitant on account you don’t believe she will change, and you wonder if she will return to her old adulterous ways and leave you yet again.

To answer this your concern, the LORD took me to the book of Hoshea especially chapter 5. You clearly loved her, and still do. So, as Hosea was instructed to take back his adulterous wife in illustrating the love of Yahweh for Israel, so I believe the LORD is asking you to do the same, to forgive and accept her return. And when she does return, you have the assurance that she will this time recognize and appreciate your goodness, and love for her and will renounce her wayward and adulterous ways; to remain faithful.

On account of forgiveness, Matt 18. 21-22 ‘if your brethren sins against you and repents, you must forgive up to 70 x7’. Meaning, as far as they keep asking for forgiveness, you must forgive, also to be forgiven of the Father Yahweh (Matt 6.14-15). Forgiveness is NOT necessary for the person, but for your own sake.

Peace & Blessings.

#1. You shall judge & administer justice.

I see a portrait of lawyers/judges. A person named Khadija here; you read the previous post concerning the person who wanted to be pilot. You smiled and thought to yourself, what about me? The LORD sees your heart. You have a heart for justice, equity and equality; you want to be a lawyer. In fact, you aspire to be a judge one day and to be one of judges in the supreme court of the land so you can administer right justice.

Your problem isn't financial. For your father bequeathed you an inheritance. Your own issue is that you are burdened with societal pressures, family obligations to settle, marry, and raise a family and care for the home. You however wonder if you can succeed with juggling both personal and professional obligations; and the obstacles and pressures from societal/family expectations of you.

The LORD is saying, ‘do what’s in your heart’ for the LORD is with you'. When these struggles and pressures come, and they will; this is the conviction, the confirmation and the confidence you need that you are on the right path. Therein you shall find the inner strength you need to stay the course and finish the race set before you- successfully.

In all your ways acknowledge the LORD and HE shall direct your paths’. Proverbs 3.5-6 . If you delight yourself in the LORD, HE will grant you the desires of your heart according to HIS will. Psalm 37.4-5.

#2. Get rich quick, lose your soul even quicker.

D. Fitzgerald from Schenectady New York. You are embarking on a business alliance or endevour. However, deep down you are ambivalent of whether you should go thru with it. Should you wait and let this opportunity bypass you or jump in though you question the ethics surrounding this business opportunity; and so your conscience is at a state of unrest.

There is a word of the LORD: Jeremiah 17.5-11. But particularly verses 11 is highlighted ‘ As the partridge sits on eggs, and hatch them not; so he that get riches, and not by right way, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool’.

Meaning? Be patient. Wait on the LORD for the right opportunity. That ‘get rich quick’ scheme business opportunity is a pending disaster.

History has had antichrist types and shadows since biblical times to even today. 1 John 2.18. One can see antichrist types in various leaders of various nations thru history. The most notorious and relevant today: Adolf Hitler, the Austrian-German autocrat.

Same antichrist spirit is alive and well today. And it's found its most potent host body in the current leadership of United States. Note: DJT is NOT the final antichrist, but he is of a type of antichrist figure today. He is dress rehearsal for now. Look at how he has deceived so called Christians worldwide.

Yes, DJT is operating out of an antichrist spirit and has the apostate nationalist "christian" religion and certain brand of evangelical & MAGA movement as its vehicle to deceive the mass. He has met a lot of the markers and characteristics of an antichrist figure according to scriptures.

Christ warned about this and yet many are still fallen to this. "There will be many false Christs with lying signs and wonder" to deceive if possible the elect. Matt 24.24. Brethren 'false Christ' is better translated 'anti-Christ'.

Do not be deceived. There's nothing remotely Christian about DJT nor the evangelicals who support him. These people are the ones scripture warns about. Watch how TRUE BIBLICAL CHRISTIANS WILL NOW BE PERSECUTED BY THESE FALSE CHARACTERS MASQUERADING AS CHRISTIANIS. AND DJT WILL FACILITATE THIS.

The #1: scripture says, the antichrist will ‘cast truth to the ground, practice and prosper’ . This means that the antichrist will have no regard for truth, but will lie excessively, fabricate, twist and perverse truth, intentionally mislead with lies and it will succeed. This is exactly what and how POTUS 47 has operated since the last 10 years and have prospered by lies, lies and more lies. Every other word out of DJT is pure lies. Satan is the father of lies and all liars (John 8.44).


By their fruits you shall know them. It's not so much what is said, it's by their deeds and actions that you recognize them. Thus far, DJT has no godly fruits nor anything remotely Christian in his actions and deeds. In fact, quite the opposite= antiChrist.

More coming soon on the nature of the beast according to the books of Daniel and Revelation.

#1. You too can touch the hem of HIS garment by faith TODAY.

I saw a woman sequestered in a bed, crouched in a fetal position. Angelina is your name. You are suffering from excessive monthly bleeding properly termed menorrhagia which is due to a bleeding disorder. The bleeding disorder is from a clotting factor deficiency. This causes you to bruise easily and bleed profusely as well. Terribly debilitating and interferes with daily life. It reminds me of the woman with issue of blood in the gospel accounts who touched the hem of garment of Yeshua and virtue went out of HIM and the faith of the woman made her whole.

Daughter of Tzion, I am here to tell you that the same Christ who healed 2 thousand plus years ago is still healing today by faith. If you would reach out in the spirit and grab the hem of HIS robe by faith, you too can be healed of your issue of blood. Amen.

Appointed times (Mo’edims) of the YHVH and Prophetic Messianic significance.

Further exploration coming shortly in 2nd week of May: Hebrew calendar/timing, the appointed times (Mo’edims) of the YHVH and its prophetic and messianic significance.

The prophetic significance of Moedims: “A review of the first four feasts reveal that Yeshua was crucified on Pesach (Passover), buried on Unleavened Bread, raised on First Fruits and sent the Ruach HaKodesh on Shavu’ot. Because we have not yet seen the fulfillment of feast number five - Trumpets - we remain under the orders of Shavu’ot”.

Grand rising!

#1. First ‘fledge’ at sea level, then can you soar at great heights above sea level.

Darren from Texas, you want to go to Aviation or flight school to become a certified pilot. however you lack the financial means.
There is a way by which you can gather financial assistance for your dreams. You are aware of this. You have seen certain others do so with success. However, you yourself are afraid to launch out and give it a go. You are fearful of failure, of rejection and faithless.

As the LORD said to Jeremiah 'If thou hast run with the footmen and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? (Jeremiah 12.5). The LORD too is saying to you today, ‘how will you soar to great heights of 40,000 feet above sea level in the heavens as a pilot when you are afraid to fly at just 40 feet at sea level?

Flutter first at sea level. If you falter, get up, flap and flap again; strengthen those puny wings first and soon you will begin to ‘mount up with wings as eagle’ and soar to great heights (Isaiah 41.31). Amen.

#2. Make a choice. Choose life in the Spirit.

Someone called Chinyere, here is the word of the LORD for you today. I trust you know what these scriptures are speaking to in reference and relevant to specifics of your life. Same goes for anyone else whom these words may ring true to your spirit concerning your own issues.
Thus saith the LORD: ‘how long will you continue to hop around between two opinions? If the LORD be LORD, follow Him. If baal, then follow him (1 Kings 18: 21. For the flesh constantly wars against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these two are contrary to each other (Galatians 5: 17). So, choose you today whom to serve: baal or YHVH; it cannot be both (Joshua 24.15 ). Choose life (Deut 30.19). Lest the LORD who planted you should uproot you for what you have done in provoking Him to anger in choosing baal (carnality) Jeremiah 11.17


#3. The word of the LORD to the global church: Look not to the mountains for I AM in the valley.

I saw a vision of mountains and hills….lots of them with varying sizes; and in between these mountains are valleys. It were as if a camera shooting a scene, and it was panning from one scene to another. I was focused looking intently as the camera zooms in and out, panning side to side. I was looking for “GOD”. I thought surely the LORD will appear on top of these mountain tops and speak. However as I looked, the camera panned low and stopped at a valley. In this valley, there appears a sparkly shiny yellow gold dust like substance peaking through the surface of earth. And the impression came.

Tell my people, in the valley is where I AM. Seek me in the valley of your life. Many look for the mountaintop experience; they look for me in the peaks and highlights of life; in the success and favour. But I AM not there. I AM in the low points of life; the job loss, the health scare, that trauma and pain. I AM there. I AM there. In the valley of life is where you may dig gold; it’s where My presence is.

Your greatest spiritual experience, growth and discovery occurs NOT in the mountain experience, but in the valley of life. I AM in that valley. Psalm 23 . 4 ‘though I walk thru the valley of shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for the LORD is with me’.

1 Kings 19.11-13 '1 The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.” Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave. Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

You find the LORD in unexpected places, times and ways. Be open.

Chai HaShem. The LORD lives.

For some reason, the LORD has given me 3 known people in the American society. I suspect these three were revealed because of some redeeming quality; there’s glimmer of light and hope.

While these names are specific, I believe these three people also represent various issues prevalent in the celebrity Hollywood world; and of the fame and wealthy. Thus, despite specificities, the human problems transcend and the principle solutions therein remain universally constant and applicable.

The key issues: spirit of anger; of pride and vanity; and of death.

The answer is simple: 'come to me who are burdened and heavy laden, and I will give you rest for your weary souls; take my yoke for my burden is light and easy' Matt 11.28-30.

#1. Mark Zuckerberg. I see an image of his face but with bright extremely red hot eyes. There is the impression of spirit of anger and rage welling up inside of him. While in early stages, it’s important to squelch it. According to scripture, harboring anger is equivalent to hatred which really is precursor to violent rage. I pray whatever is troubling him (or of his ilk) is resolved; the strength to bear the woes life that presented him and courage to seek and accept help in whichever form it comes.

#2. Garth Brook: I saw a man in a whole cow boy dress up; booths, jeans, t-shirt, hat and with guitar in hand coming out of a red pick up truck in some location in the woods. The problem is when I look at that guitar, it doubles; one image remains a guitar and the other as weapon. There’s an impression that he is about to sing his swan song. Listen, whatever is going on, the LORD forgives, heals and restores. Seek the LORD while HE may be found, HE is ever so willing to receive with open arms. May you receive His warmth, and love and mercy and grace to get thru whatever your mental and emotional struggles are.

#3. Annette Benning: a spirit of pride, vanity is taking firm hold and spreading internally dangerously as yeast pervades, and bloats. If not checked, this drives one to certain unhealthy and obsessive behaviors that can present itself with vicious cycles of depression, anxiety, feelings of worthlessness, of inadequacy and constant need do things to stay relevant. Perhaps the idea of being phased or aged out of acting stage is terrifying and that can present itself in seeking unhealthy behaviors. Nothing lasts forever even fame and fortune are fleeting as is life in general. Old age is a crown of glory and a blessing; when one determines to gain that perspective. There are other ways to stay relevant albeit out of public spot light that still adds value to one’s life and more so a legacy that may not involve meaningless entertainment and self-glorification, vanity and pursuit, but leaves meaningful and lasting impact and influence in those around you.

I pray that all such people struggling with re-inventing their identities, and finding their second act, that you find your worth and meaning and value of life in Christ first. Then, for acceptance of your stage in life and meaning and value can be found in the mundane, and quotidian. You can just ‘be’. Or look around you, there is much work to be done and many people to help though it’d be done out of spotlight and without public recognition, accolades and praise. It is still very much worthwhile and fulfilling. Your reward comes from the LORD. Store treasures in heaven rather.

There is a risk in posting this publicly. But as I prayed, I am only obligated to obey and fear the LORD alone. Let the chip fall where they may.

I see two people – a man and a woman standing in a queue in front of a room for what appears to be some type of massage therapy parlour. It seems a place for alternative treatment options for various health conditions.

#1. One woman, Alanna is her name, and she lives in Dubai. She is suffering from a chronic medical condition that causes debilitating pain in the muscles, and joint tissues. You suffer excruciating pain in your both your lower limbs It’s called Rheumatism by name. There appears to be no cure for this condition. This young woman you have sought all kinds of ways to cope with pain to no avail. You have longed to start a boutique business, but this pain has kept you bound. The Spirit of the LORD said no more daughter. Today, Yahweh Rapha is come with healing in HIS wings. By HIS stripes, you are healed of both your physical ailments and those of spiritual nature. In the Name of Yeshua, the Messiah, I say, daughter, be loosed of your infirmities whatever they be; the LORD has set you free to go and live your life and pursue your dreams. Amen.

#2. Another is a young man who appears to have issues with his male parts not functioning optimally as it should, and it is causing infertility. He too at his wits end is trying all sorts of alternative therapy including massage to his parts. They call it ‘fertility massage’ and is suppose to enhance blood flow, decrease stress and promote hormonal balance. Listen man, you too can be healed of your concerns. And you need not go far or anywhere or spend your wages on something with questionable result. The LORD who made the body and all its workings inside and out is indeed here and willing to restore what is off; if you have the faith. If you have faith to be healed, then go in peace for your faith has made you whole. Amen.

sonmvayina:
God does not actually rate animal sacrifice. We understand that the entire sacrificial system was set up to satisfy people, because that was the kind of god-worship they were familiar with from other surrounding cultures.

Just go to the prophets - God has no need of sacrifices, or holy days, or anything except changes in our behavior. And remember, there is nothing about sacrificing anything in the Ten Commandments, either:

The notion that people can’t get forgiveness without ‘the shedding of blood’ is a CHRISTIAN teaching, not a Jewish one.

1. 4. Quite the contrary, without the "old testament" sacrifices, you will have no context for 'new testament'. The old testament blood sacrifices gives context to why Christ had to 'shed HIS own blood'.


2. Did not say Yahweh rates animal sacrifices, but the various types of sacrifices given meant different things to Yahweh obviously.

3. Yahweh is the creator and first and foremost, animal sacrifices was HIS original idea. Sure, other heathen nations copied it for their gods. But, that's the work of satan. Satan copies and perverts.

If you should say, oh but these sacrifices were practiced by other pagan nations before Isrealites, just remember satan was once an archangel who had prominent role by Yahweh's side as HIS leading angel of light. Surely, satan knew a thing or two about Yahweh's idea of animal sacrifices?!

4. Sure, today, in the age of gentiles, and with Yeshua's death and resurrection, and destruction of 2nd temple, there's no longer need for sacrifices and these appointed times of the LORD TODAY because they are placed on hold. But, make no mistake, these "old testament" rituals are being reinstated in HIS 2nd coming. It's the bible, read the books of prophets. Start with Ezekiel 38-40.

Son, Christianity was invented by westernization of Hebrew ancient east worship of Yahweh. Remember the bible was about a people named the Hebrews including Christ and His apostles. Gentiles were grafted into salvation of Israel by grace. The early believers were Jewish people who believed in the Messiah as 'THE WAY'. It was later on beginning in Rome that separate religion called 'Christianity' was invented.

Thanks for the comment. Hope response is helpful.

4/25 Day #3. Sin & guilt offering: the implications for church leadership accountability & responsibility. Sin out of ignorance vs. the sin of presumption.

Lessons & implications extracted from the law of Sin & guilt offering. Please review the contents of sin offering and trespass offering. And notice the different requirements for offerings and for blood rituals for priests vs. leaders vs whole congregation vs. common person. Also notice provisions for the poor.

Key lessons: church and ministry leadership & leaders held more accountable than common persons. Sin of ignorance is a sin but can be pardoned; sin of presumption is a dangerous level of sin that cause a state of inability to repent (a seared conscience).

#1 This law teaches YVHV’s gradation of sins and degrees of responsibility & accountability. The implication for us today is that church leaders whatever title they wear are held more responsible for sins, transgressions especially that committed by whole congregation than that of individual people. This especially for crucial for false teachers and prophets who misled people; they will face harsher judgement. Leaders are judged doubly: for ones’ own head and for the heads of people misled or deceived.

And in the age of social media, the same principles apply. The more followers or listeners you influence, the greater the accountability. The principle is summarized simply as follows: if you Know better = you are expected to do or be better. If more is given, the more required of you. Therefore, watch what you promote. Your freedom in Christ is not without consequences. Think of eternal consequences; for by your words and actions you will be condemned or acquitted. See Matthew 12.37.

#2 Sin out of ignorance vs sin out of presumption. Sin out of ignorance is largely unintentional, but it is still sin that needs atonement, hence ignorance is not an excuse. However, Sin out of presumption (intentionally) carries far more weight of seriousness; cannot be atoned and incurs are more severe judgement of ‘being cut off or death’ in the old covenant. What is sin of presumption? Sin out of presumption is knowing an action is wrong or sinful, yet persisting in it deliberately or intentionally thereby ‘presuming’ forgiveness of YHVH. The danger in this is that YHVH may not grant you grace and mercy to repent, and if you persist in this sin, YHVH may harden your heart or sear your conscience. When you persistently ignore the impressions of the Spirit, it can indeed let you be in your deceit, delusions and sins. This can be considered bordering on unforgiveable sins.

When your conscience is seared, you see but do not perceive, hear but do not understand, and your heart is closed such that repentance is no longer possible, and your judgement is sealed. In this hardened state, you become a dead man walking; spiritually dead in your sins. And there are a lot of people who call themselves “Christians” yet living persistently and dangerously in this category of presumptuous sin. You wonder why certain false ministers whatever title they wear are unable to change or repent after many years, this is the likely explanation. The truth is, many of these false characters are unlikely to repent and their judgment are sealed. They are essentially the walking dead. If you find yourself in this category, repent and make complete turnaround if you still can before it takes a more permanent form, and your fate sealed. Hebrew 6.4-6; 10.26-27; Mark 4.12; Isaiah 6.9-10;

#3 It is critical to note trespass against another is also trespass against EL. EL considers sin or trespass against another person also trespass against HIM and one must restore the principle + 1/5th to the person, and also in some cases, a ram to priests for atonement before the LORD. Hence this teaches personal accountability and social responsibility. Consider that your actions have consequences beyond yourself; and even more so, also offending Yahweh.

#4. There is a difference in what is offered as trespass offering depending on type of offense. This then suggest EL considers certain ‘sins’ more heinous or offensive. [b]The lesson being that EL takes oath or covenants seriously; and considers breaking oath or being an accomplice to do evil or witnessing evil but remain quiet a transgression against HIM as well as other people. [/b]Highlighted here is the idea that if one sees evil but remain quiet, he is equally guilty of that evil. Today, most would consider aiding and abetting a crime in itself criminal. This well-known secular law that aiding and abetting is criminal is actually quite biblical. According to scripture, If you see evil, wrong doing, you ought to speak up and/or not be an accomplice to said evil. You are to report a crime or else you also are guilty of same crime according to the law of the LORD. However, keep in mind, being a false witness is equally wicked and a grievous sin that has its own punishment. Exodus 12.16; Deut. 5.20; Proverbs 19.9).

#5. Notice the provisions for the poor who cannot afford standard requirements highlighting that YHVH considers socio- economic situation of people. Note the standard requirements vs. the provision for the poor. We know and see in much of scripture, YHVH’s heart and compassion for the disadvantaged and disenfranchised is clearly evident. The laws of Moses includes provisions for the poor of the land (Lev. 23.22; Deut 15.1-2,11; Deut 24.19-21.. One of ancient Israel’s indictment and reason for their fated destruction and fall was in their oppression, maltreatment and extortion of the poor, the stranger, the widows and the orphans. Christ Himself emphasized care for the least and weak amongst us in much of His sermons (Matt 25.31-46).

The apostles considered true religion to YHVH is what you do the ‘least of these’ ( James 1.27).
For us today, it behooves us to follow the Master’s example and consider the socio-economic conditions of the people about you. Assist the poor even in the little you have and in what way you can. If you are a business man, stop extortionate and exorbitant pricing and interests payments if it depends on you.

A word especially for prosperity pastors, ministers and churches especially these millionaire and billionaire pastors. No one should be extremely materially wealthy doing the work of the LORD. Church leaders ought to stop demanding tithing from members in order to live lavishly especially when your church and congregation are the hard working poor. Living lucratively while your congregation suffer is a great evil, wicked and abominable to YHVH. We are called to build HIS kingdom; the church is HIS kingdom and not a building, but people are the church.

Pastors, If you are going to require tithing, at least use that material wealth to invest in building souls for the kingdom. Feed the poor. Clothe the naked. House the homeless. Heal the sick (or at least pay for their healthcare). Do something for others than expanding your house, cars and material possessions. Naked you come into the world, naked you go. You take none of your material accumulation with you rather you are accumulating wrath for yourself on judgement day according to the epistle of James. Let’s use wealth to build people & invest in souls for the kingdom of Yahweh instead for this is what has lasting and eternal implications.

Prayer: LORD keep your servants from sin of ignorance and worse yet, sin of presuming upon your goodness, your forgiveness; of taking your grace and mercy for granted. Psalm 19.13. Give us the boldness to speak up when we see evil; and courage to refuse do join in doing evil. Help your servants to refrain from being false witnesses, gossip mongering and revilers.

Grand rising...

#1: The blueprint and the gold standard of effective prayer IS ‘The LORD’s prayer’. A word of wisdom: Your prayers need to be less about you and more about Yahweh. Ask what you can do for the LORD, not what can the LORD do for you.

Maria, in Budapest. The LORD has seen your heart and that you seek to be a good Christian. You are devout catholic and diligent in praying the rosary. But you have made man’s tradition of praying the rosary a thing of unhealthy obsession and bordering on idolatrous. It is a gross error to equate praying the rosary to being a good Christian worthy of God’s love and escaping damnation. This is a maliciously enormous lie of the devil.

Listen, daughter of Eve, this is all unnecessary stuff you are burdened yourself with. First, praying the rosary did not originate from the LORD, nor commanded in the Scriptures. It is entirely man-made and syncretistic. Christ laid down how to pray in scriptures, follow the pattern of the LORD’s prayer in Matt 6.9-13; Luke 11.2-4. These religious activities such as praying rosary won’t save you. Praying thru rosary is not requirement for salvation nor for attaining heaven. You need not babble on and on, making long prayers. Daughter, You are thereby released and unshackled from the guilt you hold concerning this. Christ sets you free from religious chains that bind. Follow the law of the Spirit. And, where the Spirit of the LORD is, there’s liberty.

Pray: Abba Father in heaven, holy is your Name. Your kingdom come. Your will be accomplished on earth as in heaven. Give me today, daily bread. Forgive me as I forgive others. Deliver me from evil. For yours is the Kingdom, glory and honour forever. Amen.

Note: only 3 basic things here needed: forgive me, give me daily sustenance, keep me from evil. That’s it. No long lists of wants and desires. You will do well to follow this simple but effective heavenly pattern of prayer.



#2: Do not allow them to muzzle you. Do not hold your peace. Raise your voice.

Brittanie is your name. You are a young woman in your 20s. Still in your formative years as you are still discovering yourself and your place in the world. But, I see a picture of a disfigured face; a distorted image of a face of a young girl in her 20s. You are in a company of those who want to re-shape your identity into that which the LORD has not made you. These associations are even mainly church people; they are attempting to mold you into this cookie cutter personality. It involves stifling and silencing your true authentic undiluted voice; to keep your voice down or rather opinion to yourself.

Recently, you find yourself toning down your own dissenting or assenting voice. You do it to fit in, to be accepted, and to not ruffle feathers. But the problem is, this 'fake' persona is not agreeing with your inner spirit, and it’s creating all sorts of internal turmoil and undue tension within. You are torn between being true to yourself; and your god given inclinations versus blending in and being accepted by these church groups and associations whom you think are crucial for your 'success'. This too is a capital lie of the adversary.

The LORD needs bold, courageous personality and voices such as yours especially the youth of today. So, ‘do not be afraid, cry aloud, lift up your voice like a trumpet….call out their hypocrisies; and show these people their transgressions. Scriptures says that those who speak truth and uprightly are despised and abhorred. If they forsake your company, you are blessed, for so they did to the true prophets of Yahweh in scripture.

May the LORD grant and enable you timid of heart to be and stay indomitable and intrepid spirits refusing to hide; and let your true self shine in the dark shadows of pretentious and wicked personas. .

Amen. Amen.
