Endtime Messenger
By Elijah
___________________
Behold, he comes...
This site is dedicated first to the Jew, although the
same Scriptures apply to you Gentiles, but you have also shut
yourselves out of the Kingdom of God, so my mandate here is to
the Jews who know there has to be something better than this
same old garbage being propagated in synagogues and the church
world, and for all you wannabe Elijahs, you read this also; I am
going to pin your ears back all you who call yourselves God's 'endtime
prophet', or God's 'last day prophet', or the 'Endtime
Messenger'; I am going to expose your foolishness.
1 Behold, I
send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me:
and the lord, whom ye seek, will suddenly come to his
temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom ye desire,
behold, he comes, saith the
LORD
of hosts. 2 But who can abide the day of his coming? and who
shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiners fire,
and like fullers soap.' (Mal.3.1,2)
Now, to begin with the word Lord, as I have
highlighted it, is capitalized so that it seems as though the
reference is God, the Lord, but it does NOT; the Hebrew
word is adon and is NEVER used as God's
name, but it means master, as the master of a house or owner of
an estate; or in a stricter sense, as a teacher or sage; if you
have a Young's Analytical Concordance you can view this on page
647, center column, and see that there are almost 100 entries
where adon is used, but none of them are used as God's
name. Translators mistakenly supposed, as most do without doing
a word study, this is referring to the Lord when it is not, but
refers to this man:
15 The
LORD
thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of
thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall
hearken; 16 According to all that thou desired of the
LORD
thy God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, Let
me not hear again the voice of the
LORD
my God, neither let me see this great fire any more,
that I die not. 17 And the
LORD
said unto me, They have well spoken that which they
have spoken. 18 I will raise them up a Prophet from among
their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in
his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall
command him. 19 And it shall come to pass, that
whosoever will not hearken unto my words which he shall
speak in my name, I will require it of him.'
(Deu.18.15-19)
First, notice what they said; they rejected the Lord, Let us not
hear the voice, then Paul (a Hebrew himself and inspired writer)
says this:
18 For ye are
not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that
burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and
tempest, 19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of
words; which voice they that heard entreated that the
word should not be spoken to them any more: 20 (For they
could not endure that which was commanded... 25 See that
ye refuse not him that speaks. For if they escaped not
who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not
we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh
from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he
hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth
only, but also heaven.' (Heb.12.18ff)
He warns us not to reject that same voice we hear found in God's
written Word, that SAME MESSAGE is the Ten Commandments; they
could not endure the Covenant God would make with them, so God
says this:
31 Behold, the
days come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: 32
not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers
in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of
the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I
was a husband unto them, saith the
LORD.
33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house
of Israel after those days, saith the
LORD:
I will put my law in their inward parts, and in their heart
will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be
my people: 34 and they shall teach no more every man his
neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the
LORD;
for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the
greatest of them, saith the
LORD:
for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I
remember no more.
(Jer.31.31ff)
So WHAT DID GOD COMMAND THEM AT HOREB, at the mountain when they
were confronted with the Ten Commandments? Here:
21 Thus saith
the LORD
of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto
your sacrifices, and eat flesh. 22 For I spake not unto your
fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them
out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or
sacrifices: 23 But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey
my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people:
and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that
it may be well unto you. 24 But they hearkened not, nor
inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and
in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward,
and not forward. 25 Since the day that your fathers came
forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even
sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up
early and sending them: 26 Yet they hearkened not
unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck:
they did worse than their fathers.' (Jer.7.21-26)
God simply said, OBEY MY VOICE but they would have nothing to do
with it; they wanted a god they could see and handle and touch,
and they certainly did not want a God who would force upon them
the Ten Commandments although it would indeed free them from
their bondage, so what happened? Here, David said this:
22 Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a
stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them: 23 Let their
eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down
their back alway. 24 Pour out thine indignation upon them,
and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them. 25 Let their
habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their
tents.'
(Psm.69.22ff)
And this has happened to Israel. They cannot understand the
Scriptures because they refused God to obey His voice, but the
apostle Paul goes on to explain:
12 Having
therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech, 13
and are not as Moses, who put a veil upon his
face, that the children of Israel should not look stedfastly
on the end of that which was passing away: 14 but their
minds were hardened: for until this very day at the
reading of the old covenant the same veil remains, it not
being revealed to them that it is done away in
Christ. 15 But unto this day, whensoever Moses is read, a
veil lies upon their heart. 16 But whensoever it
shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away.' (2Cor.3.12-16)
Notice; when it, that is your heart, shall turn to the Lord, the
veil is taken away; end of story? No. God has NOT cast off
Israel but only blinded them until the times of the Gentiles be
fulfilled, as Paul says again:
25 For I would
not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery,
lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness
in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the
Gentiles be come in. 26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as
it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer,
and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 27 For this
is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their
sins.' (Rom.11.25-27)
So now, you wannabes Elijahs, why have you not seen
this? Why? Because you have hardened your hearts just as
Israel did, so that the veil lies upon your heart also, and you
are not going to change until God comes down on you to humble
you as He has done to Israel, as unto this day, so that their
enemies have dominion over them, so that they are being
discomfited every day, so that they have no salvation at all.
This church world is in same situation today. They
have hardened their hearts against the truth, against obeying
God's voice, therefore their hearts are hardened, and so I am
come. This situation will remain until you humble yourselves
folks, every last one of you, and thus God is sending
hurricanes, and earthquakes and drought and volcanoes and signs
from heaven, and wars, and all manner of judgments against you
until you again cry out to Him for forgiveness.
For those of you whose hearts are right
In all this, God has kept for himself a remnant as
Paul begins to say from Romans 11:
1 I say then,
Has God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an
Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of
Benjamin. 2 God has not cast away his people which he
foreknew. What! Know ye not what the scripture saith of
Elijah? how he makes intercession to God against Israel,
saying, 3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged
down your altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my
life. 4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have
reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed
the knee to the image of Baal. 5 Even so then at this
present time also there is a remnant according to the
election of grace.' (Rom.11.1-5)
I want you Jews to take note of this: no, God has not forsaken
His people Israel, but again, WHO is Israel? Those of the flesh
according to the seed of the flesh? No, but here is Israel:
Truly God is
good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean
heart.' (Psm.73.1)
So then, it is not the children of the flesh, who are heirs of
the promise, but those who have God's law written in their
hearts, as we read from Jeremiah 31.31ff, but there is more: the
Law of Moses told you to offer up gifts and sacrifices supposing
your sins were thus removed, has deceived you; as Paul said,
For until this
day remains the same veil untaken away in the reading of the
old testament; which veil is done away in Christ.'
(v.14)
You Jews, do you hear this?! When you turn your heart to God,
even your God, the God of Israel, then He will take away that
veil so that you can begin to understand your Scriptures, but
how is the veil done away in the Messiah? Let's go on: '...but unto this
day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lies upon their heart, but
whensoever
it
shall turn to the Lord, the veil is taken away...'
(v.15) When you turn your
heart
to the Lord, the veil is taken away; this is not simply a
requirement for the Jews but for all; one MUST turn their heart
to God before they can understand the Scriptures.
Times of the Gentiles But, do you see what God did; when you refused to obey
His voice, and after so long a time dealing with you, hundreds
of years, having given you every chance to turn, He then went to
the Gentiles, as Paul, Hebrew of Hebrews, an Israeli, of the
Tribe of Benjamin, a former Pharisee as your sect the Hasidic
Jews are today, says in the text above, God has not cast off His
people but has chosen a remnant, and these are those who have
indeed cleansed their hearts; they have done as Moses said,
14 Behold, the
heaven and the heaven of heavens is the
LORD's
thy God, the earth also, with all that therein is.
15 Only the LORD had a delight in thy fathers to love
them, and he chose their seed after them, even you
above all people, as it is this day. 16 Circumcise
therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more
stiffnecked. 17 For the LORD
your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great
God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regards not persons,
nor takes reward: 18 He does execute the judgment of the
fatherless and widow, and loves the stranger, in giving him
food and raiment.' (Deu.10.14-18) What in the world is he talking about?! Circumcise the foreskin
of your heart; you have to know, that Moses commanded you to be
circumcised as a cleansing; he commanded you to be cleansed
OUTWARDLY, whereas God would have you cleansed INWARDLY. Now comes a part of the New Covenant that will open up
the entire thing to you if you have indeed opened your heart to
God:
1 Now even a
first covenant had ordinances of divine service, and
its sanctuary, a sanctuary of this world. 2 For there
was a tabernacle prepared, the first, wherein were
the candlestick, and the table, and the showbread; which is
called the Holy place. 3 And after the second veil, the
tabernacle which is called the Holy of holies; 4 having a
golden altar of incense, and the ark of the covenant
overlaid round about with gold, wherein was a golden
pot holding the manna, and Aarons rod that budded, and the
tables of the covenant; 5 and above it cherubim of glory
overshadowing the mercy-seat; of which things we cannot now
speak severally. 6 Now these things having been thus
prepared, the priests go in continually into the first
tabernacle, accomplishing the services; 7 but into the
second the high priest alone, once in the year, not without
blood, which he offers for himself, and for the errors of
the people: 8 the Holy Spirit this signifying, that the way
into the holy place hath not yet been made manifest, while
the first tabernacle is yet standing; 9 which is a
figure for the time present; according to which are offered
both gifts and sacrifices that cannot, as touching the
conscience, make the worshipper perfect, 10 being
only (with meats and drinks and divers washings) carnal
ordinances, imposed until a time of reformation.'
(Heb.9.1-10) Here it is, Paul lays it out for you; you observed all those
ordinances of worship around the Tabernacle set up in the
wilderness, but he says, as long as the first Tabernacle was yet
standing, that is, as long as you worshipped under the Law of
Moses, the way into the Holy Place was not made manifest, that
is, in the spirit as the Tabernacle of God is now in Heaven, but
rather it was a sign to you (Jews) what was to come, and what
was God's will, to wit, that all you did under the Law of Moses
was OUTWARD in the flesh and could not CLEANSE THE INNER MAN,
since all it amounted to was a carnal (fleshly, outward) form of
worship, where now we continue:
11 But Christ
having come a high priest of the good things to come,
through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made
with hands, that is to say, not of this creation, 12 nor yet
through the blood of goats and calves, but through his
own blood, entered in once for all into the holy place,
having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of
goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling them
that have been defiled, sanctify unto the cleanness of the
flesh: 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who
through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish
unto God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve
the living God?' (vs 11-14) This is how the Law of Moses was done away in Christ. Think on
it, and if you have given your heart to God, if you have
repented and turned to Him, then He will show these things to
you, because it is GOD'S GOOD PLEASURE TO RECOVER YOU AND TO
BRING YOU INTO HIS KINGDOM, AND TO RESTORE YOU TO YOUR FORMER
STATE!
The Law Fulfilled by Messiah, the Lamb of God Now comes things more to be understood by the astute
and those willing to receive the truth: remember, Paul of the
tribe of Benjamin says this:
13 And not as
Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the
children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of
that which is abolished: 14 But their minds were blinded:
for until this day remains the same veil untaken away in the
reading of the old testament; which is done away in
Christ...' (2 Cor.3.13,14) What is he talking about, but the Old Covenant, that which has
to do with offering up gifts and sacrifices, as Paul says, can
never take away sins because they cannot cleanse the heart,
the conscience, whereas Jesus offered himself as a Lamb
without spot and blemish that he might fulfill the requirements
of the Law. He thus did away with the need to offer up gifts
and sacrifices on a continual basis because MESSIAH took on
himself your sins, taking them away by becoming that spotless
Lamb of God. Therefore, I want you to consider FROM YOUR OWN
SCRIPTURES these texts which so graphically describe your
Messiah as he was put to death on the Tree (not a Catholic
Cross) during PASSOVER; here from Isaiah:
13 Behold, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted
and lifted up, and shall be very high. 14 Like as many were
astonished at thee (his visage was so marred more than
any man, and his form more than the sons of men), 15 so
shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their
mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall
they see; and that which they had not heard shall they
understand. 1 Who hath believed our report? and to
whom is the arm of the
LORD
revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender
plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no form nor
comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no
beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and
rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with
grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he
was despised, and we esteemed him not. 4 Surely he hath
borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem
him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions,
he was
bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one
to his own way; and the
LORD
hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed,
and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is
brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep
before her shearers is dumb, so he opens not his mouth. 8 He
was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall
declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land
of the living: for the transgression of my people was he
stricken. 9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with
the rich in his death; because he had done no violence,
neither was any deceit in his mouth. 10 Yet it
pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put
him
to grief: when thou shall make his soul an offering for sin,
he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his
days, and the pleasure of the
LORD
shall prosper in his hand. 11 He shall see of the travail of
his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge
shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall
bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore will I divide him a
portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil
with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto
death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he
bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the
transgressors.'
(Isa.52.13-53.12) And from Psm.22:
1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Why art thou so far from helping me, and
from the words of my groaning?
2 O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou answer not;
And in the night season, and am not silent.
3 But thou art holy,
O thou that inhabit the praises of Israel.
4 Our fathers trusted in thee:
They trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered:
They trusted in thee, and were not put to shame.
6 But I am a worm, and no man;
A reproach of men, and despised of the people.
7 All they that see me laugh me to scorn:
They shoot out the lip, they shake the head,
saying,
8 Commit
thyself unto the Lord;
Let him deliver him:
Let him rescue him, seeing he delights in him.
9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb;
Thou didst make me trust
when I was upon my
mothers breasts.
10 I was cast upon thee from the womb;
Thou art my God since my mother bare me.
11 Be not far from me; for trouble is near;
For there is none to help.
12 Many bulls have compassed me;
Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13 They gape upon me with their mouth,
As a ravening and a roaring lion.
14 I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint:
My heart is like wax;
It is melted within me.
15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd;
And my tongue cleaves to my jaws;
And thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
16 For dogs have compassed me:
A company of evil-doers have inclosed me;
They pierced my hands and my feet.
17 I may count all my bones;
They look and stare upon me.
18 They part my garments among them,
And upon my vesture do they cast lots.
19 But be not thou far off, O LORD:
O thou my succor, haste thee to help me.
20 Deliver my soul from the sword,
My darling from the power of the dog.
21 Save me from the lions mouth;
Yea, from the horns of the wild-oxen thou hast
answered me.'
(Psm.22.1ff) And here; notice carefully you will not leave my soul in the
grave:
7 I will bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel;
Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the LORD always before me:
Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also shall dwell in safety.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol;
Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see
corruption.
11 Thou wilt show me the path of life:
In thy presence is fulness of joy;
In thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.'
(Psm.16.7ff) But before we comment, consider here:
1 Ho, every one
that thirsts, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no
money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price. 2 Wherefore do ye spend
money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that
which satisfies not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye
that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in
fatness. 3 Incline your ear, and come unto me; hear, and
your soul shall live: and I will make an everlasting
covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.'
(Isa.55.1ff)
The suffering of Messiah, as a Lamb led to the slaughter If you are Jew and realize what you have just read,
you should feel as though you have been kicked in the stomach;
here is your MESSIAH indeed, this is the very picture of him
hanging on the Tree (note Deu.21.22,23), under a curse as though
he were a common sinner, even the worst of sinners, but it says
of him:
5 But he was
wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for
our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was
upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.' (Isa.53.5) He was taken, and wounded, and bruised from being beaten. He
was chastised as a common criminal, he was whipped with a
scourge as only the Romans could do it, and all the time he was
innocent of any crime, as it said of him, but notice:
'...he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter.' What lamb?! Your PASSOVER LAMB; see your calendars; he was put
to death at the very moment the Passover was to be sacrificed,
and it continues how that he cries out,
My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?'
Can you imagine the distress of his soul! Even being forsaken
by God, hanging there in pain as no man has ever suffered, but
that is what is says of him, how that his countenance ...was
more marred than any man... (Isa.53.14). CONSIDER! YOU JEWS!
How Messiah suffered; he was made a spectacle; he was disgraced
and put to shame as NO MAN ever has been; his person was
destroyed more than any man in history, and why? So that no man
could ever say that he suffer more than Messiah, but it was not
only his appearance that was destroyed, but then the heart
rending things now come, and this your leaders consented to the
cruelty as only the Romans could do it, but then there is this
from Psm.22:
But I am a worm, and no man...' (v.6)
I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are out of joint:
My heart is like wax..' (v.14)
I may count all my bones...' (v.17) Do you see his agony?! His total misery?! He saw himself as a
worm, the lowest form of life, because he hung there shamed,
naked, beaten, bloody, bruised, spit upon, mocked, and totally
rejected by men and God!! You, being a Jew, can you read these things and not
have your heart smite you! I am not reading from a dime store
novel, here; I am reading from your Bible! But
that ain't the end of the story, to put it in the vernacular;
you see, he did not suffer these things in vain, as we continue:
I will
bless the LORD, who hath given me counsel;
Yea, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 I have set the
LORD
always before me:
Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also shall dwell in safety.
10 For thou wilt not leave my soul to Sheol;
Neither wilt thou suffer thy holy one to see
corruption.'
(Psm.16.7ff) Your Messiah,
the Lamb of God has therefore presented himself to God without
spot and without blemish to be take and slaughtered as that
Passover Lamb, to take away the sins of the world. Him who knew
not sin, has become your Messiah, your Savior, if you will turn
to God with all your heart and with all your soul, on your
knees, then get off your face, and begin to seek God in the
Bible
and to obey what is written.
The Resurrection of the Dead
Oh no; we are
not finished at all, but you see the entire New Testament was
written by Jews, not by Gentiles, so as they wrote they only
shared with you the things they saw from the Tenakh, and thus we
come to another thing you suppose is a fairy tale; consider:
32 And we bring
you good tidings of the promise made unto the fathers, 33
that God hath fulfilled the same unto our children, in that
he raised up Jesus; as also it is written in the second
psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. 34
And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now
no more to return to corruption, he hath spoken on this
wise, I will give you the holy and sure mercies of David. 35
Because he saith also in another psalm, Thou wilt not
give Thy Holy One to see corruption. 36 For David, after he
had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell
asleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 but he whom God raised up saw no corruption.
(Acts 13.32ff) Indeed! The promise was to Messiah, that God would raise him
from the dead, and to give us an anchor for our souls, that we
might have the same hope, to be raised from the dead, but this
is by no means the end of the story, because there is yet a
great deal you must learn. See, your rabbis did not tell you this because they
did not understand it either, and if they did, they certainly
would not say anything for obvious reasons, and you have never
read this because you have never read your Bibles, in fact, not
many of you have Bibles. You have supposed your rabbis should
know it all, although you knew in your hearts that they were not
telling you all the story, and thus you were even forbidden to
read the New Testament.
Traditions Now we are going to get into your traditions; like so
many religions have build temples and shrines, wear long robes,
and various hats to make themselves conspicuous as purely a
status symbol to impress people; that is all large edifices and
robes and elaborate furnishings accomplish, simply a means to
deceive. On the other hand, the Jews received rituals from
Torah by which they were worship, hence the Tabernacle and all
its furnishings, but the Tabernacle was a unique structure; it
was built according to the pattern God showed Moses after a
likeness of the Tabernacle in Heaven whereas God did not ever
command any other structure to be built in His name. You will say, Well, there is
Solomon's Temple; Indeed,
but even Solomon confessed that God would not dwell in the
temple he had built:
18 But will God
in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and
the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less
this house which I have builded! 19 Yet have thou respect
unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O
LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which
thy servant prays before thee; 20 that thine eyes may be
open toward this house day and night, even toward the place
whereof thou hast said that thou would put thy name there;
to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall pray
toward this place. (2 Chron.6.18ff) God does not dwell in temples made by hands, as Paul confirms:
48 Howbeit the Most High dwells not in
houses made
with hands; as saith the prophet,
49 The heaven is my throne,
And the earth the footstool of my feet:
What manner of house will ye build Me? saith the Lord:
Or what is the place of My rest?
Did not my hand make all these things?
(Acts 7.48ff) Nevertheless, Solomon in his prayer dedicating the Temple asked
God to have respect unto that place and that all who sought
after God should pray toward that place, and so it has come to
pass. But consider the place where Solomon built the Temple!
It has a Moslem mosque sitting at the very center of the temple
site, and are allowing more mosques to be built on the site.
This is crazy Israel, WHERE IS THY GOD?! They are afraid
because they know God will not deliver them so off to the United
Nations they go, or off to the United States. Then consider Jerusalem itself; it is totally polluted
with every shrine and edifice to every denomination in existence
so that there are high places on top of every hill and at every
place mentioned, from the Brook Kidron to the top of the Mount
of Olives, and do you suppose Ariel Sharon will make peace with
the enemies of Israel so that peace will come to Israel?! There
will be no peace without God, and God has not been given the
slightest consideration. Messiah said, concerning Jerusalem.
1 And Jesus
went out from the temple, and was going on his way; and his
disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the
temple. 2 But he answered and said unto them, See ye not all
these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left
here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
(Mt.24.1ff) Now, if Jerusalem is holy, if the Temple site is holy, why would
he say that? Because God will not be mocked; all those edifices
(churches) and mosques and even the Wailing Wall will God turn
into rubble because of the sins of Israel, because of the
hardness of their hearts. (As another side note, you Jews must also realize how
the English Bibles give Messiah the name of Jesus, as they
transliterated the Greek word, iesous to Jesus; it is
also Joshua's name (see Acts 7.45 and Heb.4.8); Joshua's name in
the Hebrew is Yehoshua).
A Plan to Save Israel Want me to give you a plan for saving Israel and
Jerusalem? Alright, here: begin by preaching to the people to
turn their hearts to God, then begin to tear down the mosques,
beginning with the Dome of the Rock; then expel all the churches
(never mind the income you receive from them which is nothing
less that a bribe) and to tear down their high places, every
one, and rip and tear down every shrine and so-called holy place
of the church world, but Messiah has no part with them;
do not suppose Messiah sanctions any denomination or church
organization. He does not because they all, as Israel, have
forsaken God. You will say, Get real, Elijah; that never will
happen. But of course it will not as far as you expelling the
denominations and forcing Moslems out, so God will do it; He
does not need any sanctioning by the U.N. or from anyone; He
does not need anyone's approval, but as far as Israel is
concerned, they have a dubious future also, indeed! Consider:
25 When thou
shall beget children, and childrens children, and ye shall
have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image,
or the
likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight
of the LORD thy God, to provoke him to anger: 26 I call
heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye
shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go
over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your
days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed. 27 And the
LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be
left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall
lead you. 28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of mens
hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat,
nor smell. 29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD
thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with
all thy heart and with all thy soul. 30 When thou art in
tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy
God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; 31 (For the LORD
thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee,
neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers
which he sware unto them. (Deu.4.25ff) Now, you will say, Elijah, we have already been in captivity,
and indeed you have, but you learned nothing from the
experience, not to mention the fact that it was prophesied that
it would happen to you in several places because of the hardness
of your hearts, but as you may read here God will deliver you
ONLY WHEN YOU SEEK AFTER HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND SOUL, and
this has not happened by any stretch of the imagination; God is
the farthest thing from the people's minds; God does not even
come into their minds, so that you will yet go into captivity
and be trampled down by your enemies, and when it happens this
next time, you will finally see the error of your ways and how
that you rejected your Messiah, and you will indeed cry out to
God with all your hearts and your souls, and THEN He will hear
you and deliver you. It was heart-rending to see the pictures of Hasidic
Jews being forced out of their synagogues as PM Sharon expelled
them. The soldiers did not like it; nobody liked it; they were
crying out for a miracle to save the land they had fought so
hard to get back from the Arabs, but the miracle did not come,
whereas God did not hear them because they sought Him not by
seeking Him in truth; if God had moved for them, they would have
been even more adamant about their traditions, saying that it
was their tallits and their kepahs and their phylacteries that
saved them, along with observing their feasts days, new moons
and Sabbaths where as God says,
18 But I said
unto their children in the wilderness, Walk ye not in the
statutes of your fathers, neither observe their judgments,
nor defile yourselves with their idols: 19 I am the
LORD your God; walk in my statutes, and keep my judgments,
and do them; 20 And hallow my sabbaths; and they shall be a
sign between me and you, that ye may know that I am
the LORD your God. 21 Notwithstanding the children rebelled
against me: they walked not in my statutes, neither kept my
judgments to do them, which if a man do, he shall
even live in them; they polluted my sabbaths: then I said, I
would pour out my fury upon them, to accomplish my anger
against them in the wilderness. 22 Nevertheless I withdrew
mine hand, and wrought for my names sake, that it should not
be polluted in the sight of the heathen, in whose sight I
brought them forth. 23 I lifted up mine hand unto them also
in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the
heathen, and disperse them through the countries; 24 Because
they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my
statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were
after their fathers idols 25 Wherefore I gave them also
statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby
they should not live; 26 And I polluted them in their own
gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire
all that opens the womb, that I might make them desolate, to
the end that they might know that I am the LORD.
(Eze.20.18ff) You do not keep God's Sabbath; you do not seek after Him to know
Him, but you suppose to become religious means that you must
take on all those traditions whereas the Law of Moses was given
to you at the very first because you chose to REJECT your God
back then, and nothing has changed. In your history only a handful of valiant men and
women dared to seek after and obey God: Abraham, Sarah, Moses,
Samuel, David, Solomon, Josiah and the prophets; Nehemiah,
Daniel, Ezra, to name a few, but you refused their word, but now
things are very much different as you again are about to go into
captivity and to be trampled under foot by your enemies, and so
I have come, as so many others to warn you, and as always has
been the case, you will not listen; you will not turn your
hearts to God. The former Pharisee, Paul, told you WHY you cannot
understand the Scriptures, here: '...but our
sufficiency is from God; 6 who also made us sufficient as
ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the
spirit: for the letter kills, but the spirit gives
life. 7 But if the ministration of death, written, and engraven on stones, came with glory, so that the
children of Israel could not look stedfastly upon the face
of Moses for the glory of his face; which glory was
passing away: 8 how shall not rather the ministration of the
spirit be with glory? 9 For if the ministration of
condemnation hath glory, much rather doth the ministration
of righteousness exceed in glory. 10 For verily that which
hath been made glorious hath not been made glorious in this
respect, by reason of the glory that surpasses. 11 For if
that which passes away was with glory, much more that
which remains is in glory. 12 Having therefore such
a hope, we use great boldness of speech, 13 and are
not as Moses, who put a veil upon his face, that the
children of Israel should not look stedfastly on the end of
that which was passing away: 14 but their minds were
hardened: for until this very day at the reading of the
old covenant the same veil remains, it not being revealed to them that it is done away in Christ. 15 But unto this
day, whensoever Moses is read, a veil lies upon their heart.
16 But whensoever it (i.e. your heart) shall turn to
the Lord, the veil is taken away. (2 Cor.3.6ff) Do you see! (Those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, let
them understand.) God blinded you so that you cannot understand
these things from the Tenach, from your Bibles. Now as a side note, hear this: You have your Mishnah,
which was written by sages and old rabbis telling you what the
Law and Prophets say; but consider how they have not seen these
things whereof I speak to you so clearly; the reason is simply
that their hearts were not right with God so that they were
blinded and did not understand the Scriptures, but you see, the
New Covenant (Testament) was written by INSPIRED men of God who
had indeed turned their hearts to God and who forsook all the
glory and prestige they had as being religious, as Paul says so
eloquently:
1 Finally, my
brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to
you, to me indeed is not irksome, but for you it is safe. 2
Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of
the concision: 3 for we are the circumcision, who worship by
the Spirit of God, and glory in Christ Jesus, and have no
confidence in the flesh: 4 though I myself might have
confidence even in the flesh: if any other man thinks to
have confidence in the flesh, I yet more: 5 circumcised
the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of
Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as touching the law, a
Pharisee; 6 as touching zeal, persecuting the church; as
touching the righteousness which is in the law, found
blameless. 7 Howbeit what things were gain to me, these
have I counted loss for Christ. 8 Yea verily, and I count
all things to be loss for the excellency of the knowledge of
Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I suffered the loss of all
things, and do count them but refuse, that I may gain
Christ, 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of
mine own, even that which is of the law, but that
which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is
from God by faith: 10 that I may know him*, and the power of
his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings,
becoming conformed unto his death; 11 if by any means I may
attain unto the resurrection from the dead. 12 Not that I
have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I
press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which
also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I
count not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I
do, forgetting the things which are behind, and
stretching forward to the things which are before, 14 I
press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling
of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as are
perfect, be thus minded: and if in anything ye are otherwise
minded, this also shall God reveal unto you: 16 only,
whereunto we have attained, by that same rule let us
walk. (Phil.3.2ff)(* see Isaiah 53) Paul was great in the Law, and not only did he have these
qualifications and distinctions named here but he had also sat
at the feet of Gamaliel, a Jew held in high esteem; a
philosopher and teacher, so that when he forsook it all, he
forsook his very life, but it was all to gain the knowledge of
God and of Messiah, so that after he turned to Messiah, he left
it all and went off to himself to study apart from all the
traditions and bias for 17 years; doing that, he was able to
learn the truth of the Scriptures apart from all the bias and
traditions, and thus God gave him a great many revelations of
the mysteries of God, whose feet I have sat at for many years. But, there is more.
Washing your hands See, one of the things you do (you Orthodox and
Hasidic Jews), you wash your hands when you come in from being
out in the public where you suppose you are beginning made
unclean; with the thought in mind that if you do not wash your
hands and go ahead and eat, you will become unclean. Now, I
want you to read this next text, because Messiah shows you not
only the error of your ways, but what indeed makes you UNCLEAN;
consider:
1 And there are gathered together unto him the Pharisees,
and certain of the scribes, who had come from Jerusalem, 2
and had seen that some of his disciples ate their bread with
defiled, that is, unwashed, hands. 3 (For the Pharisees, and
all the Jews, except they wash their hands diligently, eat
not, holding the tradition of the elders; 4 and when they
come from the market-place, except they bathe
themselves, they eat not; and many other things there are,
which they have received to hold, washings of cups, and
pots, and brasen vessels.) 5 And the Pharisees and the
scribes ask him, Why walk not thy disciples according to the
tradition of the elders, but eat their bread with defiled
hands? 6 And he said unto them, Well did Isaiah prophesy
of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honors me
with their lips, But their heart is far from me. 7 But in
vain do they worship me, Teaching as their doctrines
the precepts of men.
8
Ye leave
the commandment of God, and hold fast the tradition of men.
9 And he said unto them, Full well do ye reject the
commandment of God, that ye may keep your tradition 14 And
he called to him the multitude again, and said unto them,
Hear me all of you, and understand: 15 there is nothing from
without the man, that going into him can defile him; but the
things which proceed out of the man are those that defile
the man. 17 And when he was entered into the house from the
multitude, his disciples asked of him the parable. 18 And he
saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also?
Perceive ye not, that whatsoever from without goes into the
man, it cannot defile him; 19 because it goes not
into his heart, but into his belly, and goes out into
the draught? This he said, making all meats clean. 20
And he said, That which proceeds out of the man, that
defiles the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of
men, evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders,
adulteries, 22 covetings, wickedness, deceit,
lasciviousness, an evil eye, railing, pride, foolishness: 23
all these evil things proceed from within, and defile the
man.' (Mk.7.1ff) What?! Messiah defies all your sages and rabbis and all your
traditions calling them traditions of men; then he makes perfect
sense as he tells you how you do indeed become unclean and
defiled, as it is what proceeds out of your heart; this
is indicative of all your traditions, they defy the truth and
thus God has no respect unto you.
Oh, the Wailing Wall! Indeed you shall wail, Oh Jerusalem! you have allowed
the nations to come in and pollute the land, and so God, even
your God, will bring you down. How many have gone to the Wall
to pray to the God of Israel, not knowing that what they do even
angers Him, because you do not know Him nor do you want to know
Him (see Isa.1.2-9), and thus, as Messiah say, not one stone
will be left upon another of all those stones Solomon built that
shall not be thrown, not fall, but THROWN down in God's anger.
Your Kepahs (Helmukahs) (Skull caps) Alright, let's take on some of the other things you
do, not so grave, here: let's start with your kepah (skull
cap); you are told to keep your head covered for whatever
reason, but the practice is contrary to God; consider as Paul
speaks:
2 Now I praise
you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the
traditions, even as I delivered them to you. 3 But I would
have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the
head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered,
dishonors his head. 5 But every woman praying or
prophesying with her head unveiled dishonors her head; for
it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven. 6 For if
a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a
shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled. 7
For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled,
forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman
is the glory of the man. 8 For the man is not of the woman;
but the woman of the man: 9 for neither was the man created
for the woman; but the woman for the man: 10 for this cause
ought the woman to have a sign of authority on her
head, because of the angels. (1 Cor.11.2-10) Of course, when you are not praying but doing your normal
living, men and women may wear hats according to the conditions,
but to make a tradition of covering your head when you pray
simply shows one's ignorance of God. More:
Tallits The prayer shawl is another foolish tradition which
accomplishes nothing, but is a status symbol (with its long
fringes hanging down through their pant legs, and wearing your
Derby hats, with cute little curls on your temples! You make
God sick!), rather than showing humility toward God by seeking
Him in truth; your pictures of old men with long white beards
with their prayer shawls draped over their heads looks so godly;
it makes me cringe because all those years the man has spent
under the yoke of tradition will go off into oblivion, never
knowing the truth because he did not set his heart to seek God. Of course, embroidered on the tallit are the supposed
913 laws from Torah, another foolish idea since they do not keep
the laws, but covering themselves with God's statutes and laws
gives them a false sense of holiness...of security.
Phylacteries Now please: there are so many critics of the Jews; I
do not want to be labeled as anti-Semitic, although many will
indeed try to say so, but I will only free you from traditions
which have bound Israel for so long a time. But consider the
phylactery; it is supposed to have the Ten Commandments engraved
upon it so that religious Jews tie it to their heads every
morning during prayers, but tying it to their heads accomplishes
NOTHING; God does not want it tied to your head; He wants His
laws IN YOUR HEART, as He says in many places, but how much more
in Jeremiah 31, saying,
I will write my law in their heart, and on their minds
will I put it...' When you turn your heart to God, he will remove the veil so that
you can begin to understand the Scriptures and thus writing His
laws in you mind and heart, and as you read and seek after God
to know Him by your obedience, you are indeed applying the blood
of Messiah's sacrifice and thus cleansing your heart and ways.
Obedience is necessary Very early on, I highlighted this:
'...Who hath believed our report?'
a quotation from Isaiah 53.1; indeed, who has believed the
message, who is willing to obey, as Paul points out, believing
is obeying:
How beautiful
are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and
bring glad tidings of good things! 16 But they have not all
obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed
our report? 17 So then faith cometh by
hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
(Rom.10.15ff) What this is telling you is the old, old story, how that Israel
refused to obey God, therefore all these evil things have come
upon them as now, and they will NOT be delivered until they turn
to God with all their heart and soul and mind, which is the
First Commandment. But that is not all; the proof of this is
simply to do a short word study of the Hebrew word from which
obey comes from; it is the word shamah and is used many
times in the Tanach; it is translated to hear, hearken, and obey
many times. To believe, is to obey, as Paul says.
Finally If you have had the courage to read all this, and if
you believed it, there is a knot in the pit of your stomach,
because you know what will happen to you if you confess this.
You will be shut out of the Jewish community, castigated and
rebuked by your family, unwelcome in the synagogues, and in any
Jewish function; so what can you do? You see, you are between a very rock and a hard place;
if you keep this to yourself and not confess Messiah and the
truth of God, God will not confess you; if you do, you will have
no friends, family, or brethren, and do you suppose Messiah
didn't know this; consider:
34 Think not
that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send
peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at
variance against his father, and the daughter against her
mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a mans foes shall be they of his own
household. 37 He that loves father or mother more than me is
not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter more
than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that takes not his
cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that
finds his life shall lose it: and he that loses his life for
my sake shall find it.. (Mt.10.34ff) This is not for the weak minded and faint hearted, but if you do
not have the courage to do this, your conscience will slay you
every day until you are so miserable you will want to die, but
if you get to that place, then read this again, and confess
Messiah, and then you will begin to live. Children of God, what you must now do is to get
yourself a good Bible, as I say, containing the New Testament;
as I have quoted a few passages from it, you are beginning to
realize that it is not the poison your rabbis and teachers have
told you, but if you are going to learn about Messiah, then you
will do this, but come to me and I will tell you where to get
the best Bibles. There is another who will help you: ME. Go to my web
sites and read them, beginning with
Messiah of Israel and go
from there to
Elijah the
Prophet, and from there you may find all of my sites, as I
have many, each with a different function and above all, email
me or write to me and I will respond; tell me that you are a
Jew, and I will know all the rest.

In this short
essay, I have given you the essentials for understanding your
Bible and to find peace with the God of Israel. What you do
with it is up to you, but I would encourage you in every way to
obey your Scriptures, then get yourself a good quality King
James Bible and begin to read it. Shalom. Please also see
Sword of the Lord
Amen
