Wisdom, knowledge and discipline are prerequisites for understanding our relationship with Elohim. Psalm 111 is one of thanksgiving and its final verse let’s us know what the beginning of “Wisdom” is. It is the Fear of Father Yeshayahna which can be a propellant for us to search The Scriptures for “Wisdom” to shape our understanding and to develop the characteristics required to love and worship Elohim in Spirit and Truth.
Psa 111:1-10 Praise Yah! I thank Yeshayahna with all my heart, In the company of the straight, and of the congregation. 2 Great are the works of Yeshayahna, Searched for by all who delight in them. 3 Splendor and greatness are His work, And His righteousness stands forever. 4 He has made His wonders to be remembered; Yeshayahna shows favor and is compassionate. 5 He has given food to those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever. 6 He has shown His people the power of His works, To give to them the inheritance of the gentiles. 7 The works of His hands are truth and right-ruling, All His orders are trustworthy, 8 They are upheld forever and ever, Performed in truth and straightness. 9 He sent redemption to His people, He has commanded His covenant forever. Set-apart and awesome is His Name. 10 The fear of Yeshayahna is the beginning of wisdom, All those doing them have a good understanding. His praise is standing forever.
Wisdom, Fear, Knowledge, Discipline leading to Understanding the Set-Apart One are core subjects covered in the Scroll of Proverbs. In today’s world of Christianity Proverbs is a Scroll that is very much overlooked. A few one liners set the stage for what will ultimately be a study in Divine Feminine Wisdom.
(Pro 1:7) The fear of Yeshayahna is the beginning of knowledge; Fools despise wisdom and discipline.
(Pro 3:7) Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear Yeshayahna and turn away from evil.
(Pro 9:10) The fear of Yeshayahna is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Set-apart One is understanding.
(Pro 23:17) Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be in the fear of Yeshayahna all day long;
(Pro 28:14) Blessed is the man who always fears Elohim, But he who hardens his heart falls into evil.
In a world molded by Satan it is difficult to discern what is wise in the eyes of Elohim. Satan has turned the world into a globe depraved of Scriptural moral standards. Each nation’s sins are readily accessible on the internet and “Wisdom” found in The Scriptures has been replaced by the technologies of the world that bring sin and depravity into each of our homes. Each succeeding generation consumes Satan’s wisdom and turns its back on The Scriptures and especially the trampled back of Yashayahnah Messiah who was impaled for the sins of the world.
There are nearly seven billion strangers on the planet today each of whom is to be considered a brother or sister. There will be a Day of Reckoning for many brothers and sisters at the White Throne Judgment. Noah was a fore shadow of a judgment journey in separation. Father Yeshayahna pronounced judgment on the world and told Noah to build an Ark to save his family and bring along a personal zoo and some domestic animals. People around Noah thought he was crazy but when judgment came upon the earth in the form of a flood; only those on the Ark survived. The rainbow promise
of Father Yeshayahna guarantees we won’t face a world wide flood again but the prophetic Day of Father Yeshayahna has us facing a host of terrors and an immersion of fire the next time judgment comes around. Those of us who have no fear and trample all over the scoured back of Messiah Yashayahnah by deliberately sinning with foreknowledge are going to have a fearsome day in front of Elohim.
Heb 10:26-31 For if we sin purposely after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a slaughter offering for sins, 27 but some fearsome anticipation of judgment, and a fierce fire which is about to consume the opponents. 28 Anyone who has disregarded the Torah of Mosheh dies without compassion on the witness of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment do you think shall one deserve who has trampled the Descendant of Elohim underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which She was set apart as common, and insulted the Spirit of favour? 30 For we know Her who has said, “Vengeance is Mine, I shall repay, says Yashayahnah.” And again, “Yashayahnah shall judge Her people.” 31 It is fearsome to fall into the hands of the living Elohim.
Those with wisdom in their heart know their is a tribulation on the way. Noah’s Ark was never found so there is a new Ark we all have the opportunity to board with strangers. Let’s call it the Ark of the Guiding Light of Feminine Wisdom. In time we will sail it from City to City hoping to learn to love one another the way Elohim expects us to.
See the dark night has come down on us
The world is living in it’s dream
But now we know that
We can wake up from this sleep
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way.
The time has come
To trust that guiding light
And leaving all the rest behind
We’ll take the road that
Leads down to the waterside
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way
And we’ll sail out on the water
Yes we’ll feel the sea grow
Yes we’ll meet out on the water
Where all strangers are known
If you travel blindly
If you fall
The truth is there to set you free
And when your heart
Can see just one thing in this life
We’ll set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way.
And we’ll sail out on the water
Yes we’ll feel the sea grow
Yes we’ll meet out on the water
Where all strangers are known.
See the dark night has come down on us
The world is living in its dream
But now we know that
We can wake up from this sleep
And set out on the journey
Find a ship to take us on the way.
And we’ll sail out on the water
Yes we’ll feel the sea grow
Yes we’ll meet out on the water
Where all strangers are known.
Let’s name our ship “Sister Wisdom of Elohim” and begin our look at “Wisdom” in the Messianic Scriptures. Yashayahnah Messiah at twelve years old held court amazing the teachers in the Set-Apart Place. As She grew older more and more people were astonished at Her “Wisdom” and “Miracles”.
Luk 2:40-52 And the Child grew and became strong in spirit, being filled with wisdom. And the favour of Elohim was upon Her. 41 And Her parents went to Yerushalayim every year at the Festival of the Passover. 42 And when She was twelve years old, they went up to Yerushalayim according to the practice of the festival. 43 When they had accomplished the days, as they returned, the Child Yashayahnah stayed behind in Yerushalayim. And Her parents did not know it, 44 but thinking She was in the company, they went a day’s journey, and were seeking Her among the relatives and friends. 45 And not having found Her, they returned to Yerushalayim, seeking Her. 46 And it came to be, after three days, that they found Her in the Set-apart Place, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Her were astonished at Her understanding and answers. 48 And having seen Her, they were amazed. And Her mother said to Her, “Child, why have You done this to us? See, Your father and I have been anxiously seeking You.” 49 And She said to them, “Why were you seeking Me? Did you not know that I had to be in the matters of My Father?” 50 But they did not understand the word which She spoke to them. 51 And She went down with them and came to Natsareth, and was subject to them, but Her mother kept all these matters in her heart. 52 And Yashayahnah increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with Elohim and men.
Mar 6:2 And Sabbath having come, She began to teach in the congregation. And many who heard Her were astonished, saying, “Where did She get all this? And what wisdom is this which is given to Her, that such miracles are done through Her hands?
Later on in the Messianic Scriptures, the taught one Sha’ul in writing to the assembly of Corinth twice links Messiah Yashayahnah to the Wisdom of Elohim;
1Co 1:24-31 but to those who are called – both Yehuḏim and Greeks – Messiah the power of Elohim and the wisdom of Elohim. 25 For the foolishness of Elohim is wiser than men, and the weakness of Elohim is stronger than men. 26 For look at your calling, brothers, that there were not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble. 27 But Elohim has chosen the foolish matters of the world to put to shame the wise, and Elohim has chosen the weak of the world to put to shame the strong. 28 And Elohim has chosen the low-born of the world and the despised, and the ones that are not, that He might bring to naught the ones that are, 29 so that no flesh should boast in His presence. 30 And of Her you are in Messiah Yashayahnah, who became for us wisdom from Elohim, righteousness also, and set-apartness and redemption, 31 that, as it has been written, “Those who boasts, let them boast in Yashayahnah.”
In the same letter Sha’ul writes about “Wisdom” being hidden in a secret.
1Co 2:7-9 But we speak the wisdom of Elohim, which was hidden in a secret, and which Elohim ordained before the ages for our esteem, 8 which no one of the rulers of this age knew, for if they had known, they would not have impaled the Master of esteem. 9 But as it has been written, “Eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, nor have entered into the heart of man what Elohim has prepared for those who love Him.”
It is very interesting to see a connection made between “Wisdom” and a “Secret” made in the letter above. A female Yashayahnah Messiah certainly fills that secret role.
Eph 3:8-11 To me, the very least of all the set-apart ones, this favor was given, to bring the Good News of the unsearchable riches of Messiah among the gentiles, 9 and to make all see how this secret is administered, which for ages past has been hidden in Elohim who created all through Yashayahnah Messiah, 10 so that now, through the assembly, the many-sided wisdom of Elohim might be known to the principalities and authorities in the heavenlies, 11 according to the everlasting purpose which He made in Messiah Yashayahnah our Master,
Our Ark will now journey through The Scroll of Proverbs as we continue our journey in wisdom. We need wisdom to prepare for and take our journey in life. “Wisdom” is personified by a woman in the Scroll and we will Title and Name Her “Yashayahnah Messiah Our Sister of Wisdom“.
Many of us who study scripture focus most of our time in the Messianic Scriptures. The Scroll of Proverbs provides additional wisdom unlocking a world of knowledge in instruction, understanding, counsel, advice to the young, discipline, righteous ruling and even hidden prophecy. All wisdom in Proverbs comes to us from the voice of the divine feminine, Our Sister. The Messianic Scripture tells us the only way to The Father is through Yashayahnah Messiah.
Joh 14:6 Yashayahnah said to him, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Let us now take a look at the comments of two of many Bible Commentators who link Wisdom in Proverbs directly to The Messiah.
In John Gill’s exposition of The Bible he writes the following about Wisdom’s introduction in the first proverb found in the Scroll of Proverbs;
“Pro 1:20Wisdom crieth without,…. Here the person instructing throughout this whole book is represented under the name of “Wisdom”; by which we are to understand not the attribute of divine wisdom displayed in the works of creation; nor the light of nature in man; nor the law of Moses given to the Israelites; nor the revelation of the divine will in general, as it is delivered out in the sacred Scriptures; nor the Gospel, and the ministry of it, in particular; but our Lord Jesus Christ; for the things spoken of Wisdom, and ascribed to it in this book, especially in the eighth and ninth chapters, show that a divine Person is intended, and most properly belong to Christ; who may be called “Wisdoms””
Through the Bible with Vernon McGee writes;
Wisdom in the Old Testament means Jesus Christ for the believer today. “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption” (1Co_1:30). Notice that wisdom is number one. Christ is the wisdom for the believer today. And to know wisdom is to know Jesus Christ…………
“..……Wisdom, therefore, is Christ. Wisdom is the ability to use our knowledge aright. To know Christ is not to play the fool; it is to be a wise man. I saw a bumper sticker the other day which read: “Wise men still seek Him.” Friend, you may not be brilliant, but when you receive Christ and come to know Christ, then you have wisdom.
We have no trouble whatsoever linking Wisdom in Proverbs to The Messiah. In fact we would be foolish not to make the connection. We will look at some verses reinforcing the Femininity of Wisdom and touch on a hidden prophecy.
In the 1st chapter of Proverbs, Wisdom (Yashayahnah Messiah) cries out to the simple (foolish) ones and scoffers who hate knowledge. Their fate is sealed and the ones who dwell in safety are those who listen to Her.
Pro 1:20-33 Wisdom calls aloud outside; She raises her voice in the broad places. 21 At the head of the noisy streets she cries out, At the openings of the gates, In the city she speaks her words: 22 “How long, you simple ones, Would you love simplicity, And shall scoffers delight in their scoffing, And fools hate knowledge? 23 “Turn at my reproof. See, I pour out my spirit on you, I make my words known to you. 24 “Because I called and you refused, I have stretched out my hand and no one inclined, 25 “And you spurned all my counsel, And would not yield to my reproof, 26 “Let me also laugh at your calamity, Mock when your dread comes, 27 “When your dread comes like a storm, And your calamity comes like a whirlwind, When distress and anguish come upon you. 28 “Let them then call on me, but I answer not; Let them seek me, but not find me. 29 “Because they hated knowledge And did not choose the fear of Yeshayahna, 30 “They did not accept my counsel, They despised all my reproof, 31 “Therefore let them eat the fruit of their own way, And be filled with their own counsels. 32 “For the turning away of the simple slays them, And the complacency of fools destroys them. 33 “But whoever listens to me dwells safely, And is at ease from the dread of evil.”
The 2nd chapter of Proverbs begins with encouragement to treasure the commands (guard the Ten Commandments and live them with the heart) and to dedicate our heart and ears (with our ability to read) to searching wisdom for hidden treasures.
Pro 2:1-5 My child, if you accept my words, And treasure up my commands with you, 2 So that you make your ear attend to wisdom, Incline your heart to understanding; 3 For if you cry for discernment, Lift up your voice for understanding, 4 If you seek her as silver, And search for her as hidden treasures, 5 Then you would understand the fear of Yeshayahna, And find the knowledge of Elohim.
What Yeshayahna says is true and reliable. His words are not tainted with deceit and false flattery but are fully dependable. His Words are refined like silver to perfection (seven times)
Psa 12:6 The Words of Yeshayahna are clean Words, Silver tried in a furnace of earth, Refined seven times
The Word came and lived amongst us.
Joh 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Elohim, and the Word was Elohim.
Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh and pitched Her tent1 among us, and we saw Her esteem, esteem as of an only brought-forth of a father, complete in favour and truth.
Footnote: 1An indication that Her birth was during the Festival of Booths.
We have connected Wisdom to The Word to The Messiah and it all comes together through the Divine Feminine.
In the 3rd chapter of Proverbs, The Messiah teaches us that knowledge gained is far greater than our wealth (silver, gold and rubies). We will be judged by The Yashayahnah Messiah and the length of our days is in Her hands. The Tree of Life which was taken away from us by the fall of Adam and Eve is restored to us through wisdom provided we take hold of Yashayahnah Messiah. We will only eat of the tree of life if we seek out wisdom and implement what we learn in our daily lives.
Pro 3:13-18 Blessed is the person who has found wisdom, And the person who gets understanding; 14 For the gain from it is better Than gain from silver, And its increase than fine gold. 15 She is more precious than rubies, And all your delights are not comparable to her. 16 Length of days is in her right hand, Riches and esteem in her left hand. 17 Her ways are pleasant ways, And all her paths are peace. 18 She is a tree of life to those taking hold of her, And blessed are all who retain her.
In the 7th chapter of Proverbs we are to acknowledge that Wisdom/The Messiah is our Sister. In the Messianic Scriptures, those who do the will/desire of Our Father are brothers, sisters and mothers of The Messiah.
Mat 12:47-50 And one said to Her, “See, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” 48 But She answering, said to the one who spoke to Her, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And having stretched out Her hand toward Her taught ones, She said, “See My mother and My brothers! 50 “For whoever does the desire of My Father who is in the heavens is My brother and sister and mother.”
The 7th chapter of Proverbs also introduces to us a prophecy. In this chapter we are introduced to an evil woman (symbolic of a church of apostasy which is fulfilled in the end times by the woman who rides the beast who happens to be the Roman Catholic Church famous for their Holy Water and Eucharist) who seduces and deceives people from true wisdom.
The proverb begins by encouraging us to guard the commandments and teachings of wisdom. Her law is to be the apple of our eye. We have heard it said “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” and maybe we should think in terms of “an apple a day keeps the optometrist away”. If we are blind to The Word, no doctor can save us. The Commandments and her teachings are to be within easy reach and upon our heart. Our heart feeds the body and we act on Her behalf. If we do the will of The Father and understand Her teachings of wisdom She is our Sister and our Friend. We need understanding to guard against the strange woman, the deceiver, the anti-Messiah who will flatter us or try to seduce us with her words. She is a foreigner meaning gentile based.
Proverbs 7
My child, guard my words, And treasure up my commands with you.Guard my commands and live, And my Torah as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart. Say to wisdom, “You are my sister,” And call understanding a close friend, To guard you against the strange woman, Against the foreigner who flatters with her words.
The rest of the proverb deals with the deception of those of us who have weak hearts and do not treat or seek Wisdom as Our Sister and The Messiah. Instead we let someone else take Her place and lead us to our grave.
A woman dressed like a whore easily seduces those that have weak hearts. They are charmed by her and fall for her as if there is nothing like her on earth. She is the way of death leading the heartless, as an ox to the slaughter. Our sister warns us to lookout for her and of course if we are in bed with this woman we have been deceived into believing we are doing the right thing.
For at the window of my house I looked through my lattice, And I saw among the simple, I perceived among the youths, A young man lacking heart, Passing through the street near her corner; And he went the way to her house In the twilight, in the evening, In the black and dark night. And look, a woman met him, Dressed like a whore, With a hidden heart. She was boisterous and stubborn, Her feet did not stay at her own house. Now in the street, Now in the square, And at every corner she lurks. And she took hold of him and kissed him; She hardened her face and said to him: “Peace offerings are with me; Today I have paid my vows. “Therefore I came out to meet you, To earnestly seek your face, and I found you. “I have spread my bed with coverings, Coloured linens of Mitsrayim. “I have sprinkled my bed with myrrh, aloes, and cinnamon. “Come, let us take our fill of love until morning; Let us delight ourselves with love. “For my husband is not at home; He has gone on a long journey; “He took a bag of silver with him; He comes home on the day of the new moon.” With her many words she leads him astray, With her smooth lips she seduces him. He goes after her immediately, Like an ox he goes to the slaughter, And as in chains, a fool to the punishment, Till an arrow strikes through his liver; Like a bird rushing into a snare, And did not know it would take his life. And now, listen to me, you children; Pay attention to the words of my mouth: Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, Do not go astray in her paths. For many are the wounded she has caused to fall, And numerous all her slain ones. Her house is the way to the grave, Going down to the rooms of death.
The prophecy above is expanded upon in great detail in The Scroll of Revelations. The woman above is “The Woman Who Rides The Beast”. It is also summarized in the 9th proverb. The proverb begins outlining the mission of The Messiah and ends with another attack on the foolish woman first introduced in the 7th chapter.
Proverbs 9 (Italics Mine)
Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out its seven columns (seven denotes completion and perfection), She has slaughtered her meat (Impaled for the forgiveness of our sins), She has mixed her wine(Her blood spilt providing us a chance for eternal life), She has also prepared her table (Wedding supper of the Lamb). She has sent out her young women (Taught Ones, Disciples), She cries out from the highest places of the city: “Who is simple? Let him turn in here!” (A cry for repentance and sinners to turn to wisdom/The Messiah) As for those who lack heart, she says to them, “Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed.”(Accept Her Word and the offering of Her impalement) Leave the simple ones and live, And walk in the way of understanding. Those who reprove a scoffer get shame for themselves, And those who rebuke a wrong one get themselves a blemish. (Don’t waste time on scoffers or those violating the Commandments or those not interested in Wisdom) Do not reprove a scoffer, lest they hate you; Reprove a wise one, and they love you. Give instruction to a wise one, and they are wiser still; Teach a righteous one, and they increases in learning. The fear of Yeshayahna is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Set-apart One is understanding. For by me your days become many, And years of life are added to you. If you have become wise, You have become wise for yourself, And if you have scoffed, You alone bear it.
A foolish woman is loud, simple, and without knowledge. For she has seated herself At the door of her house, On a seat by the highest places of the city, To call to those who pass by, Who go straight on their way: “Who is simple? Let them turn in here.” And as for those who lacks heart, she says to them, “Stolen waters are sweet (Holy Water or assuming the power to grant eternal life), And bread eaten in secret is pleasant (Transubstantiation of the eucharist-turning a wafer of bread into the body of Messiah).” But they do not know that the dead are there, Her guests are in the depths of the grave.
Pro 9:1-18 Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out its seven columns, 2 She has slaughtered her meat, She has mixed her wine, She has also prepared her table. 3 She has sent out her young women, She cries out from the highest places of the city: 4 “Who is simple? Let them turn in here!” As for those who lack heart, she says to them, 5 “Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed.” 6 Leave the simple ones and live, And walk in the way of understanding. 7 One who reproves a scoffer gets shame for them self, And those who rebuke a wrong one gets themselves a blemish. 8 Do not reprove a scoffer, lest they hate you; Reprove a wise one, and they love you. 9 Give instruction to a wise one, and they are wiser still; Teach a righteous one, and they increases in learning. 10 The fear of Yeshayahna is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Set-apart One is understanding. 11 For by me your days become many, And years of life are added to you. 12 If you have become wise, You have become wise for yourself, And if you have scoffed, You alone bear it. 13 A foolish woman is loud, Simple, and without knowledge. 14 For she has seated herself At the door of her house, On a seat by the highest places of the city, 15 To call to those who pass by, Who go straight on their way: 16 “Who is simple? Let them turn in here.” And as for those who lack heart, she says to them, 17 “Stolen waters are sweet, And bread eaten in secret is pleasant.”18 But they do not know that the dead are there, Her guests are in the depths of the grave.
Our journey on the Ark has brought some strangers together who have learned that Our Sister Wisdom is none other than Yashayahnah Messiah. As we debark the Ark with wisdom let us strive to walk rightly down the line and confess our sins to Messiah Yashayahnah letting Her know how much we love Her and Her Father.
Right Down The Line
The Best of Gerry Rafferty
You know I need your love
You’ve got that hold over me
Long as I’ve got your love
You know that I’ll never leave
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it’s been you Woman
Right down the line
I know how much I lean on you
Only you can see
The changes that I’ve been through
Have left a mark on me
You’ve been as constant as a Northern Star
The brightest light that shines
It’s been you Woman
Right down the line
I just want to say this is my way
Of telling you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of telling you
That every day I’m loving you so much more
‘Cause you believed in me
Through my darkest night
Put something better inside of me
You brought me into the light
Threw away all those crazy dreams
I put them all behind
And it was you Woman
Right down the line
I just want to say this is my way
Of telling you everything
I could never say before
Yeah this is my way of telling you
That every day I’m loving you so much more
If I should doubt myself, if I’m losing ground
I won’t turn to someone else
They’d only let me down
When I wanted you to share my life
I had no doubt in my mind
And it’s been you Woman
Right down the line
The wise will clear their head and open their mind to the true wisdom of Yashayahnah Messiah. The heart and soul will follow and those that cruise The Ark of Elohim will bring love to each city they visit.
In the gospels Judas was described by other disciples as a thief, betrayer, coveter of money and the son of perdition. After giving up Our Messiah to the Yehudah chief priests Judas realized he had committed a grievous act. He had received blood money for his loathsome deed and he returned to the Hekal{temple} admitting to the chief priests he had sinned in turning in an innocent person to be condemned and sentenced to death.
He returned the money to the Yehudah chief priests who would not take it back because it was blood money. Judas threw the money onto the Hekal floor and in shame he left the Hekal and successfully committed suicide. The blood money was used by the Yehudah priests to purchase a potters field which became known as the Field of Blood. This fulfilled prophecies made by the prophets Yirmeyahu{Jeremiah} and Zekaryah{ Zechariah}. The Field of Blood became a burial ground for gentile foreigners.
A big question we might ask is – How was The Messiah valued at thirty pieces of silver? Was it an arbitrary price that came out of thin air or is there any significance to the amount paid to Judas. We know the “thirty pieces of silver” is very significant because it was one of the many Messianic prophecies in scripture that was fulfilled.
Zec 11:12-13 And I said to them, “If it is good in your eyes, give me my wages. And if not, refrain.” So they weighed out for my wages thirty pieces of silver. 13 And Yeshayahna said to me, “Throw it to the potter,” the splendid price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the House of Yeshayahna for the potter.
We should take notice of the irony present in the term “the splendid price at which I was valued by them”. The prophecy tells us that they valued The Messiah based on specific guidelines. There was a basis for valuation. The Bible Knowledge Commentary writes “Israel’s appraisal of the True Shepherd’s worth was 30 pieces of silver, the compensation price for a slave gored by an ox.”
Exo 21:32 “If the ox gores a male or female servant, he is to give to their master thirty sheqels of silver, and the ox is stoned.
This linkage to a gored servant seems to have merit given The Messiah was gored to death at the impalement. The gored servant can be male or female so this does not help us establish The Messiah as a female. However this interpretation does not account for Judas receiving the blood money prior to The Messiah being gored besides which The Messiah was not gored by an ox but by Roman Soldiers. Had The Messiah first been gored followed by Judas receiving the money we could potentially accept this appraisal. This distinction is relevant because thirty pieces of silver has another interpretation in scripture which answers exactly why The Messiah was valued at thirty pieces of silver.
We are going to find our answer in the 27th Chapter of Leviticus.The first part of the chapter covers vows made by people who wanted to dedicate themselves to Yeshayahna. They wanted to be a slave or work for Yeshayahna. The Preachers Commentary writes;
Verses Lev_27:2-8 deal with vows in which persons were set apart to God. Apparently this was the vow in which one dedicated oneself to the service of God, literally as a slave to God. In their view, to be a slave to God would have meant working as slaves in the temple, but only the priests and Levites could be so involved. Therefore, they could keep such a vow by paying to the sanctuary for its upkeep and operation a price roughly equivalent to what they would have been worth on the slave market. In that market, different values were placed upon per sons according to gender and age, and those values are reflected in verses Lev_27:4-7.”
The Messiah Yashayahnah was valued at thirty sheqels because She vowed Her life to Her Father Yeshayahna. She was over twenty years old and a female calling for a valuation of thirty pieces(Sheqels) of silver. Males were valued at fifty pieces of silver.
Lev 27:1-4 And Yeshayahna spoke to Mosheh, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘When a man separates a vow, by your evaluation of lives unto Yeshayahna, 3 when your evaluation is of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old, then your evaluation shall be fifty sheqels of silver, according to the sheqel of the set-apart place. 4 ‘And if it is a female, then your evaluation shall be thirty sheqels;
The chief priests simply purchased The Messiah from Judas to be their slave instead of their Sovereign. The price for doing so was thirty pieces of silver from the Hekal’s set-apart treasury.
Mat 26:14-15 Then one of the twelve, called Yehuḏah from Qerioth, went to the chief priests, 15 and said, “What would you give me to deliver Her to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver.
How deep is our love for The Messiah? Is She worth thirty pieces of silver or is She a priceless pearl. How deep is our love for silver, gold and other items of treasure and pleasure? We can turn to and embrace Yashayahnah Messiah in our lives and we can make a free vow for love over riches.
There will be those who choose to take the vow of loving and worshipping Elohim in spirit and truth knowing they will die gratefully waiting for the morning of the Coming Messiah Yashayahnah. Let’s make Her our Woman now and do the things She taught us to do.
There will also be those of us who choose to sing the tune of the dead – Friend of the Devil. Somewhere along the way we will be struck by lightning riding on our Camel and all our sheqels will prove to be worthless.
Luk 18:25 “For it is easier for a camel to enter through a needle’s eye than for a rich person to enter into the reign of Elohim.”
In summary Judas became a rich man for a few hours when he sold Messiah Yashayahnah to the chief priests for the valuation of a female slave over twenty years old which was thirty pieces of silver. This is clear proof that The Messiah is a female.
Does Nostradamus have anything to say about “The Rose” and if so is “The Rose” connected in anyway to “The Rose of Sharon and Lily of the Valley” our Yashayahnah Messiah?
The answer is “Yes”.
Once upon a time Nostradamus walks through his house to ensure he is alone. He locks the doors and secures the house. Earlier in the day a friend had brought him a dozen roses as payment for a foretelling of her future. Her name was Joan and he had told her she would never be remembered as a pope.
He selects the only budding red rose from the dozen and he moves into his study to carry out his work in secret. A thunderstorm is rocking the area. Thunder and lightning provide the perfect setting for him to work with the presence of the demon spirit that leads him. He makes himself comfortable lighting the incense in the bronze censer. He crushes the rose with his fingers. A lone thorn tears into his index finger and draws blood. With a curse he adds the crushed rose to the censer and begins to go into a trance.
It doesn’t take long for him to feel the presence of the demonical spirit. It’s stronger than it’s ever been before and the flames in the censer leap up towards the ceiling. With his trance complete the demonical spirit enters into his body and fully encompasses his mind. The seer records four lines and collapses on the floor. It would be his only quatrain of the night.
Of course the above is is probably pure fiction but the following quatrain was written by Nostradamus.
Roman Pontiff beware of approaching the city that two rivers flow through, near there your blood will come to spirt, you and yours when the rose will flourish.
Over 200 years later in the late 20th Princess Diana was involved in a life ending accident. She was dead. She ended her life as England’s Rose. For many years she had flourished but now she is gone but not forgotten. Another Rose appears on the horizon. She is Yashayahnah Messiah. Let’s look at this quatrain carefully. It has seemingly been fulfilled once but there is still one more fulfillment to come.
“Roman Pontiff beware of approaching”
The pope is warned about approaching a particular city which turns out to be Rome.
“the city that two rivers flow through”
Quattro Fontane (Four Fountains) was erected during the pontificate of Sixtus V. The four fountains represent two rivers and two virtues. The Tiber and Anio rivers both represented by river gods could be the two rivers. Note that a pope commissioned these fountains which both represent gentile river gods or as Elohim would put it false mighty ones called idols.
These quaint old fountains, now fast fading away, were erected during the pontificate of Sixtus V to decorate the famous “Crossing” created by himself and his architect Domenico Fontana when these two began to make over Rome of the Renaissance into modern Rome…….
….The four fountains are of travertine and represent two rivers and two virtues. They are all by Fontana except that one which is placed across the grille in the wall of the Barberini Gardens. This is the work of Pietro da Cortona. The choice both of the rivers and of the virtues is significant. Pope Sixtus V’s early life shows what need he had of fortitude, while fidelity marks his attitude toward his two (and only) friends, Pope Pius V and Domenico Fontana.
The Tiber, represented by a river-god behind whom the reeds are growing, was of course to be expected. The Anio, also a river-god but with the emblem of the oak-tree, may have been chosen because of Sixtus V’s intention to bring its waters to Rome, not by an aqueduct but in a canal, for the transportation of the travertine and wood needed in his great enterprises.
Alternately the two rivers could be the Tiber River which flows through the province of Rome and splits into two branches before flowing into the Tyrrhenian Sea. The branch is right next to Rome’s Fiumicino (Leonardo da Vinci) Airport. The Vatican is within thirty kilometers of the Tiber branch.
“near there your blood will come to spirt, you and yours when the rose will flourish.”
The funeral service for Princess Diana featured Elton John. He had modified the title and words of one of his greatest hits “Candle in The Wind” to “Goodbye England’s Rose”. She died 31/8/19-97. The last two digits of the year matched the quatrain number above. England’s Rose was dead.
The Rose Princess Diana began to flourish with her engagement to Prince Charles on 24/02/1981. The assassination attempt on pope John Paul II by a Turkish gunman took place as he entered St. Peter’s Square on 13/05/1981. Just over two months after the flourishing of the rose. The pope lost almost three quarters of his blood due to an assassination attempt. Pope John Paul II was a champion idol worshipper of Miryam going as far as to include the letter “M” on his coat of arms. The assembly founded by Simon Peter was built upon the Rock that is Yashayahnah Messiah and not on M&M’s Mother Miryam.
The quatrain may appear to be fulfilled however the term “you and yours” says otherwise. It is indicative of the pope and others related to the church spurting blood. There is a future fulfillment of this prophecy. The near fulfillment of this prophecy illustrates the relationship between The Rose in Solomon’s Song and the Vatican. It is one of rejection. The Rose flourishes and the pope (you and yours) blood spurt.
In Princess Diana and The Rose we have two women of favor, compassion and majesty linked to the Roman Catholic Church. In his tear jerking song Elton John sang goodbye to one rose but the future new rose will return to the world.
Goodbye England’s Rose by Elton John (at the funeral service)
Goodbye England’s rose,
may you ever grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that placed itselfs
where lives were torn apart.
You called out to our country,
and you whispered to those in pain.
Now you belong to heaven,
and the stars spell out your name.
And it seems to me you lived your life
like a candle in the wind:
never fading with the sunset
when the rain set in.
And your footsteps will always fall here,
along England’s greenest hills;
your candle’s burned out long before
your legend ever will.
Loveliness we’ve lost;
these empty days without your smile.
This torch we’ll always carry
for our nation’s golden child.
Even though we try,
the truth brings us to tears;
all our words cannot express
the joy you brought us through the years.
And it seems to me you lived your life
like a candle in the wind:
never fading with the sunset
when the rain set in.
And your footsteps will always fall here,
along England’s greenest hills;
your candle’s burned out long before
your legend ever will.
Goodbye England’s rose,
may you ever grow in our hearts.
You were the grace that placed itselfs
where lives were torn apart.
Goodbye English rose,
from the country lost without your soul,
who’ll miss the wings of your compassion
more than you will ever know.
And it seems to me you lived your life
like a candle in the wind:
never fading with the sunset
when the rain set in.
And your footsteps will always fall here,
along England’s greenest hills;
your candle’s burned out long before
your legend ever will.
One legend lost and another about to make a Second Coming. It is kind of uncanny that Elton pluralized “itself” into “itselfs” ending up with addressing multiple people “You were the grace that placed itselfs where lives were torn apart.”
We are not done with this quatrain. There is a link to The Scriptures. This was the 97th quatrain and there is only one 97th chapter in Scripture. Princess Diana was from the British Isles and the Psalm opens with who really reigns and the Isles are glad.
Psalm 97
1 Yehshayahna shall reign. The earth rejoices. Many isles are glad!
2 Clouds and darkness all around Him, Righteousness and right-ruling are the foundation of His throne.
3 Fire goes before Him, And burns up His adversaries round about.
4 His lightnings shall light the world, The earth shall see and tremble.
5 The mountains shall melt like wax before the face of Yehshayahna, Before the face of the Master of all the earth.
6 The heavens shall declare His righteousness, And all the peoples shall see His esteem.
7 All are put to shame who serve carved images, Those boasting of matters of naught. Bow yourselves to Him, all you mighty ones.
8 Tsiyon shall hear and be glad, And the daughters of Yehuḏah rejoice Because of Your right-rulings, O Yehshayahna.
9 For You, Yehshayahna, are the Most High over all the earth, You shall be greatly exalted, over all mighty ones.
10 You who love Yehshayahna, hate evil! He guards the lives of His kind ones, He delivers them out of the hand of the wrong.
11 Light is sown for the righteous, And gladness for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in Yehshayahna, you righteous, And give thanks at the remembrance of His Set-apartness.
The Psalm addresses rightful worship, judgment, praise, rejoicing in and giving esteem to Yeshayahna. In the 7th verse all of us who serve carved images such as a Man on a Cross, Statues of Miryam{Mary} and humanly judged people as Saints and other items will be put to shame.
Through Nostradamus we have found an additional prophecy outlining the battle between The Rose and the papacy. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned; She is coming again and this time the woman who rides the beast (Roman Catholics and their leadership in the Vatican) are going to be scorched.
The Rose of Sharon is planted at the right hand side of The Father and She will flourish on earth sometime between 09/05/2018 and 17/03/2028. The pope, his Cardinals, Bishops, Priests, nuns and the Roman Catholic Assembly will be no more except for what is thrown into the Lake of Fire.
Two of the great allegorical symbols that The Messiah is compared to are Shepherd and Rock. It is interesting to note that in many translations of The Scriptures (Darby, English Standard, New International, New King James and The Scriptures) that the first time the word “shepherd” is used is when the shepherdess Rahel{Rachel} is introduced to us in the Scroll of Genesis. According to the Etymology of The Hebrew name רָחֵל (Rachel) means “Ewe”. In the Pre Messianic Scriptures Rahel was the name of the favorite wife of Jacob and the mother of Joseph and Benjamin. She was one of the Four Mothers of YisraEl.
Gen 29:9 While he was still speaking with them, Raḥĕl came with her father’s sheep, for she was a shepherdess.
The fact that Rahel was the first shepherd mentioned in The Scriptures is another pointer to a female Shepherdess who would turn out to be our Messiah Yashayahnah. In the Scroll of Yohanan/John there is a whole chapter dedicated to our Shepherdess Yashayahnah.
Joh 10:1-42 “Truly, truly, I say to you, those who do not enter through the door into the sheepfold, but climbs up by another way, that one is a thief and a robber. 2 “But he who enters through the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 “The doorkeeper opens for him, and the sheep hear his voice. And he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 “And when he has brought out his own sheep, he goes before them. And the sheep follow him, because they know his voice. 5 “And they shall by no means follow a stranger, but shall flee from him, because they do not know the voice of strangers.” 6 Yashayahnah used this figure of speech, but they did not know what She had been saying to them. 7 Yashayahnah therefore said to them again, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 “All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 “I am the door. Whoever enters through Me, they shall be saved, and shall go in and shall go out and find pasture. 10 “The thief does not come except to steal, and to slaughter, and to destroy. I have come that they might possess life, and that they might possess it beyond measure. 11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep. 12 “But the hireling, and not being a shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees. And the wolf snatches the sheep and scatters them. 13 “Now the hireling flees because he is a hireling and is not concerned about the sheep. 14 “I am the good shepherd. And I know Mine, and Mine know Me, 15 even as the Father knows Me, and I know the Father. And I lay down My life for the sheep. 16 “And other sheep I have which are not of this fold – I have to bring them as well, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock, one shepherd. 17 “Because of this the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life, in order to receive it again. 18 “No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to receive it again. This command I have received from My Father.” 19 Again there came a division among the Yehuḏim because of these words, 20 and many of them said, “She has a demon and is mad, why do you listen to Her?” 21 Others said, “These are not the words of one possessed by a demon. Is a demon able to open the eyes of the blind?” 22 At that time the Ḥanukkah came to be in Yerushalayim, and it was winter. 23 And Yashayahnah was walking in the Set-apart Place, in the porch of Shelomoh. 24 So the Yehuḏim surrounded Her and said to Her, “How long do You keep us in suspense? If You are the Messiah, say to us plainly.” 25 Yashayahnah answered them, “I have told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in My Father’s Name, they bear witness concerning Me. 26 “But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I said to you. 27 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. 28 “And I give them everlasting life, and they shall by no means ever perish, and no one shall snatch them out of My hand. 29 “My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all. And no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. 30 “I and My Father are one.”
In the Scroll of Hebrews Yashayahnah Messiah is called The Great Shepherd of the Sheep. In our relationship with Elohim The Set-Apart Spirit of Truth comes from The Father and indwells within us in the name of Yashayahnah Messiah. Thus the Great Shepherdess of the Sheep is able to work through us to help us do Her Will and the Will of The Father.
Heb 13:20 And the Elohim of peace who brought up our Master Yashayahnah from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 make you perfect in every good work to do Her desire, working in you what is pleasing in Her sight, through Yashayahnah Messiah, to whom be esteem forever and ever. Amĕn.
In summary the first person to be identified as a shepherd in Scripture is a female shepherdess Rahel whose name means “ewe”. “Ewe Lamb” dovetails nicely into the two secret prophecies of The Messiah associated with Abraham and Dawid as described in the post “Introducing Queen Shoshannah With Songs”. This is no co-incidence but Elohim’s way of prophesying Our Messiah as a Shepherdess.
Is our Shepherdess a Rock and Roller? Absolutely! Our Father is described as being our Rock in Psalms. Here are three examples.
Psa 18:1-2 I love You, O Yeshayahna, My strength. 2 Yeshayahna is my rock and my stronghold and my deliverer; My Ěl is my rock, I take refuge in Him; My shield and the horn of my deliverance, my high tower.
Psa 18:46-47 Yeshayahna lives! And blessed is my Rock! And exalted is the Elohim of my deliverance, 47 The Ěl who avenges me, And He humbles the peoples under me;
Psa 62:5-7 My being, find rest in Elohim alone, Because my expectation is from Him. 6 He alone is my rock and my deliverance, my strong tower; I am not shaken. 7 My deliverance and my esteem depend on Elohim; The rock of my strength, my refuge is in Elohim.
In the Messianic Scriptures Yashayahnah Messiah is equated with the word Rock many times. There is the parable comparing us to a man who builds his house on the foundation of Yashayahnah Messiah who survives disaster because of the strength of the foundation versus the man who ignores Yashayahnah Messiah whose house has no foundation and therefore no way to avoid being in a disaster. Pakistan is in the news right now because it is enduring a flood that is impacting an estimated 5 million people or more. Thousands and thousands of homes were washed away. Pakistan is mostly an Islamic country that doesn’t believe Messiah Yashayahnah is Elohim in the flesh. Of course floods happen in other areas of the world in places that believe in Elohim but they too are subject to losing their houses to flood waters if they do not hear Her voice and do the words Yashayahnah Messiah has shared with us in The Scriptures.
Luk 6:47-49 “Everyone who is coming to Me, and is hearing My words and is doing them, I shall show you whom they are like: 48 “They are like a man building a house, who dug deep and laid a foundation on the Rock. And when a flood came, the stream burst against that house, but was unable to shake it, for it was founded on the Rock. 49 “But the one hearing and not doing, is like a man who built a house on the earth without a foundation, against which the stream burst, and immediately it fell. And the ruin of that house was great.”
Messiah Yashayahnah delegated the building of Her Assembly to be founded upon Her. She is the Rock that Her Assembly is to be built upon. She is the foundation of Her Assembly.
Mat 16:13-18 Now when Yashayahnah came into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, She asked Her taught ones, saying, “Who do people say the Descendant of Aḏam is?” 14 And they said, “Some say Yoḥanan the Immerser, and others Ěliyahu, and others Yirmeyahu or one of the prophets.” 15 She said to them, “And you, who do you say I am?” 16 And Shimʽon Kĕpha answering, said, “You are the Messiah, the Descendant of the living Elohim.” 17 And Yashayahnah answering, said to him, “Blessed are you, Shimʽon Bar-Yonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in the heavens. 18 “And I also say to you that you are Kĕpha, and on this Rock I shall build My assembly, and the gates of the grave shall not overcome it.
In 1st Corinthians we are urged to drink of the spiritual Rock that is Messiah Yashanah.
1Co 10:1-4 For I do not wish you to be ignorant, brothers, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, 2 and all were immersed into Mosheh in the cloud and in the sea, 3 and all ate the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed, and the Rock was Messiah.
Let’s now shine a Strong Light on the word “Rock” in all of the above verses. They all are from Strongs G4073 πέτρα petra which is a Feminine of the same as G4074; a (mass of) rock (literally or figuratively): – rock.
The Feminine Greek word petra is used to describe our Rock. This is a clear clue to the fact that Yashayahnah Messiah is a Female.
Indeed our Yashayahnah Messiah is a Shepherdess and a Rock and Rolling Ruler. Both The Queen Yashayahnah and Her Father can’t wait to rock and roll with their loved one’s. One way or another each of us is going to be rocked in some way by the One Elohim who loves us.
The Scroll of Revelation distinguishes between male and female breasts. Let’s look at the female usage of the term “breast” first. The Messiah appears in a vision to Yohanan and Yohanan describes the chest of The Messiah as being girded with a golden band.
Rev 1:12-13 And I turned to see the voice which spoke with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands,13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Descendant of Adam, dressed in a robe down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band.
The underlying Greek Word used above for breast is “mastos”. Strong’s Dictionary G3149 μαστός mastos pronounced mas-tos’ From the base of G3145; a (properly female) breast (as if kneaded up): – pap. The Greek word “mastos” is used only two other times in The Scriptures and clearly describes female breasts. As babies we suckled or nursed at our mother’s breast.
Luk 11:27 And it came to be, as She was saying this, a certain woman from the crowd raised her voice and said to Her, “Blessed is the womb that bore You, and the breasts(from the Greek word mastos) which You sucked!”
Luk 23:28-29 But Yashayahnah, turning to them, said, “Daughters of Yerushalayim, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children. 29 “For look, days are coming in which they shall say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and wombs that never bore, and the breasts(from the Greek word mastos) which never nursed!’
Later in the Scroll of Revelation the author Yohanan used another Greek Word “Stethos” to describe the breasts of Seven Messengers of Elohim also girded with golden bands. Messengers of Elohim in The Scriptures are male.
Rev 15:6 And out of the Dwelling Place came the seven messengers having the seven plagues, dressed in clean bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands.
Conclusion. Yohanan the author of the Scroll of Revelation used two different words to describe the chests of The Messiah and of Messengers. He used them to distinguish between female and male chests. He used the female “mastos” in describing the chest of The Messiah. This is a clue to The Messiah’s gender that has survived the reach of translators and a very strong and conclusive clue to the gender of The Messiah.
We are just a couple of posts into establishing that we were created in the “image of Elohim” both “male and female”
Gen 1:26-27 And Elohim said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the livestock, and over all the earth and over all the creeping creatures that creep on the earth.” 27 And Elohim created the man in His image, in the image of Elohim He created him – male and female He created them.
Males are created in the image of Our Father and eveales(females) in the image of Yashayahnah Messiah. Our Father and Yashayahnah Messiah are one through marriage the same way we become one when we marry somebody from the opposite gender.
In the end of this age The Father bringing with him the New Yerushalayim for the greatest wedding of all time. Their children, now brides of The Messiah are presented to The Father. For the rest of eternity those becoming the children of Elohim and Yashayahnah Messiah are one big happy family.
Rev 21:10-27 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the set-apart Yerushalayim, descending out of the heaven from Elohim, 11 having the esteem of Elohim, and her light was like a most precious stone, like a jasper stone, clear as crystal, 12 and having a great and high wall, having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve messengers, and names written on them, which are those of the twelve tribes of the children of Yisra’ĕl 13 three gates on the east, three gates on the north, three gates on the south, and three gates on the west. 14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve emissaries of the Lamb. 15 And he who spoke with me had a golden measuring rod, to measure the city, and its gates, and its wall. 16 And the city lies four-cornered, and its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the rod: two thousand two hundred kilometres – the length, and the breadth, and height of it are equal. 17 And he measured its wall: sixty-five metres, according to the measure of a man, that is, of a messenger. 18 And the structure of its wall was jasper. And the city was clean gold, like clear glass. 19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were adorned with all kinds of precious stones: the first foundation jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth sardonyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. 21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls – each one of the gates was a single pearl. And the street of the city was clean gold, like transparent glass. 22 And I saw no Dwelling Place in it, for Yehshayahna Ěl Shaddai is its Dwelling Place, and the Lamb. 23 And the city had no need of the sun, nor of the moon, to shine in it, for the esteem of Elohim lightened it, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24 And the gentiles, of those who are saved, shall walk in its light, and the sovereigns of the earth bring their esteem into it. 25 And its gates shall not be shut at all by day, for night shall not be there. 26 And they shall bring the esteem and the appreciation of the gentiles into it. 27 And there shall by no means enter into it whatever is unclean, neither anyone doing abomination and falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
Rev 22:1-6 And he showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of Elohim and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And no longer shall there be any curse, and the throne of Elohim and of the Lamb shall be in it, and Her servants shall serve Her. 4 And they shall see Her face, and Her Name shall be upon their foreheads. 5 And night shall be no more, and they shall have no need of a lamp or the light of the sun, because Yehshayahna Elohim shall give them light. And they shall reign forever and ever. 6 And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. And Yehshayahna Elohim of the set-apart prophets has sent His messenger to show His servants what has to take place with speed.
In life Our Creator Elohim through the order of the Lepidoptera shared with us an analogy for what we humans can become. Caterpillars have the potential to morph into butterflies. We all are born into this world and those who obey and worship Elohim The Father in Spirit and Truth hope to share in a similar spectacular metamorphosis into eternal life. The process by which a devouring machine, the caterpillar becomes a freely flying butterfly bringing life through pollination is certainly one of natures most spectacular and beautiful creations. Evolution is a theory taught in our schools but surely only a Creator could dream this process up and put it in front of us an analogy for eternal life.
In the worst of Her sufferings Yashayahnah Messiah described herself as being a worm and She ended up metamorphosing by being resurrected and spreading her wings by ascending to the right hand side of Her only Father in Heaven.
The Psalm of Aijeleth Shahar-The Doe of the Morning-Psalm 22:1-6
1 My Ěl, My Ěl, why have You forsaken Me – Far from saving Me, far from the words of My groaning?
2 O My Elohim, I call by day, but You do not answer; And by night, but I find no rest.
3 Yet You are set-apart, Enthroned on the praises of Yisra’ĕl.
4 Our fathers trusted in You; They trusted, and You delivered them.
5 They cried to You, and were delivered; They trusted in You, and were not ashamed.
6 But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people.
Our Messiah is called many things in The Scriptures. She is the Lamb turned into a worm who has become much much more than a butterfly. She is Sovereign to be of this world and She’s just a few butterfly seasons away from Her Second Coming where she will rid the world of every evil worm.
Here is Mariah Carey singing about a Butterfly.
We as human beings have the ability to metamorphose into the freedom and beauty of eternal life. Yashayahnah Messiah Our Savior and Our Father want us to spread our wings and fly in their direction. We have the ability and potential to one day be a part of the life giving spirit of the resurrection with Our Savior called Messiah Yashayahnah.
Satan through the Beast and a series of anti-messiah’s is the force trying to keep us as a worm forever and locking us into a fiery end. Today we will look at some of what characterizes an anti-messiah. The Scriptures tells us that there have been many anti-messiahs.
There is a wealth of literature on this subject and two interpretations seem to be the dominant theme. “anti” means either “against” (in opposition to Messiah) or “instead of” (in place of Messiah). Any person could someday deceptively take the place of Yashayahnah Messiah or come in the name of “Jesus Christ” or “Immanu’el” and teach people the opposite of what the True Messiah taught us. Many books and movies have been made on this subject and one would think that the term anti-messiah is found throughout The Scriptures. It appears only three times
1Jn 2:22-23 Who is the liar, except the one denying that Yashayahnah is the Messiah? This is the anti-messiah, the one denying the Father and the Descendant. 23 No one denying the Descendant has the Father. The one confessing the Descendant has the Father as well.
1Jn 4:1-3 Beloved ones, do not believe every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of Elohim, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of Elohim: Every spirit that confesses that Yashayahnah Messiah has come in the flesh is of Elohim, 3 and every spirit that does not confess that Yashayahnah Messiah has come in the flesh is not of Elohim. And this is the spirit of the anti-messiah which you heard is coming, and now is already in the world.
2Jn 1:7 Because many who are leading astray went out into the world who do not confess Yashayahnah Messiah as coming in the flesh. This one is he who is leading astray and the anti-messiah. 8 See to yourselves, that we do not lose what we worked for, but that we might receive a complete reward. 9 Everyone who is transgressing and not staying in the teaching of Messiah does not possess Elohim. The one who stays in the teaching of Messiah possesses both the Father and the Descendant.
In just a few verses we are given the definition of an anti-messiah. Any of us who denies that The Messiah has come in the flesh is an anti-messiah. The 2nd letter by Yohanan further states in verse 9 that “Everyone who is transgressingand not staying in the teaching of Messiah does NOT possess Elohim. The one who stays in the teaching of Messiah possesses both the Father and the Descendant” From this we can infer that any assembly that teaches or indoctrinates its brethren into transgressing (to violate a command or law, to go beyond a boundary or limit) of any of Yashayahnah Messiah’s teachings is allowing Satan to devour their ability to be a butterfly in the coming Millennial Kingdom. If we want to be a butterfly and experience the love, forgiveness and compassion of The Father and Our Messiah we must take Our Rabboni’s teachings to heart and live them in our everyday lives. Any assembly or person that violates those teachings must be avoided and the leaders in that assemblies are anti-messiahs. The Vatican violates multiple doctrines of The Messiah and is leading many of it’s followers down the broad highway that leads to the destruction of worms.
Here are a few questions for us wretched worms to answer in the hope of flying as eternal butterflies in the freedom of the Millennial Kingdom to come.
(1) Did The Messiah teach us to pray to Miryam{Mary} or any of the Set-Aparts{Saints}?
(2) Did The Messiah tell us that Miryam ascended into heaven?
(3) Did The Messiah teach us that anybody on earth can be called our spiritual father?
(4) Did The Messiah teach us that Sunday is a new Sabbath day?
(5) Did The Messiah celebrate Her birthday which we call Christmas?
(6) Did The Messiah teach us that we could now bow down to and worship or venerate images?
(7) Did The Messiah teach us that a person could take Her place on earth?
It is important for those whose assembly supports or is influenced by the Vatican to answer these questions because anti-messiahs are deceivers and as instruments of Satan (the father of lies and the greatest deceiver of all time) are capable of turning us against the will of Elohim. If we in worshiping Elohim ignore any of The Messiah’s teachings we do not have The Father or The Messiah with us. We do not represent Elohim and therefore the Set-Apart Spirit that comes to us from The Father in Yashayahnah Messiah’s name cannot act through us. Instead of being a living vessel with Messiah in us we are just a can of worms waiting on fire. Here is what Yashayahnah Messiah has to say when it comes to worms and those who cause us to stumble;
Mar 9:42-48 “And whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it is better for them if a millstone were hung around their neck, and they were thrown into the sea. 43 “And if your hand makes you stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled, than having two hands, to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire, 44 where ‘their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 45 “And if your foot makes you stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life crippled, than having two feet, to be thrown into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire, 46 where ‘their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’ 47 “And if your eye makes you stumble, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter into the reign of Elohim with one eye, than having two eyes, to be thrown into the fire of Gehenna, 48 where ‘their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.’
These scriptures are a dire warning to us, an absolute command to us to do everything we can to become butterflies and avoid being the worm. We must obey The Commandments, we must immerse ourselves in the teachings of Our Messiah, we must learn to love, forgiveness and above all we must repent of our transgressions and be always thankful no matter what our circumstances.
Repenting is an apology for our transgressions and we should thank The Father for the guiding light of Yashayahnah Messiah’s teachings and the power of the The Set-Apart Spirit for counseling us and leading us to the truth of righteousness and knowing what sin is.
Here are answers to the above questions but it is much more important for you to search for your own answers. In discovering the truth the truth can set you free.
(1) Our Savior teaches us to pray to Our Father and never mentions praying to anybody else. Praying to Miryam and/or to any one Set-Apart does not have the approval of Elohim. The taught ones{disciples} asked Messiah Yashayahnah how we should pray and a model prayer was provided to us by The Messiah for us to follow.
Mat 6:5-13 “And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the congregations and on the corners of the streets, to be seen by men. Truly, I say to you, they have their reward. 6 “But you, when you pray, go into your room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place. And your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly. 7 “And when praying, do not keep on babbling like the gentiles. For they think that they shall be heard for their many words. 8 “Therefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him. 9 “This, then, is the way you should pray: ‘Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your Name be set-apart, let Your reign come, let Your desire be done on earth as it is in heaven. ‘Give us today our daily bread. ‘And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13 ‘And do not lead us into trial, but deliver us from the wicked one – because Yours is the reign and the power and the esteem, forever. Amĕn.’
Why would any of us pray to anything other than Our Father when Yashayahnah Messiah provided us with the guidance upon which to build our prayers around? As someone wanting to be in the Sovereigndom why wouldn’t we pray the same way as The Messiah did? The Messiah prayed to The Father and that is who we should pray to. Prayer is a very important component of our relationship to Elohim so we must do it right and do it according to how Our Messiah taught us to. It is very important to know that if we pray to something other than Our Father we are doing so because a human being anti-messiah deceived us into doing so.
(2) Our Messiah did not teach us that Miryam ascended into heaven. A human being in the position as Pontiff attempted to force this upon us in a moment of infallibility. Humans are very prone to Satan’s deceptions and lies. The ministry of The Messiah was to reveal the Sovereigndom to come and the good news that we can participate in eternal life. No human being has the power to determine who will have eternal life (go to heaven) or not. The Scriptures teaches us that there will be a judgment at a specific time and that time has not occurred yet. If we went to heaven, hell or purgatory immediately after our physical death that would imply a judgment is made at our death and nullify the resurrection to judgment. Only Elohim will determine who will receive eternal life. Any human being who judges a human being and rewards them with the status of being Set-Apart has taken on the role of judgment when judgment belongs to Elohim. The Rosary is a series of prayers consisting of 50 repetitious/babbling “Hail Miryam” prayers. We are all equivalent to Miryam and Our Messiah’s family if we do the Will of The Father. There is no preferential treatment and the Vatican has turned our potential equal Miryam into the queen of heaven.
Mat 12:46-50 And while She was still talking to the crowds, see, Her mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Her. 47 And one said to Her, “See, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You.” 48 But she answering, said to the one who spoke to Her, “Who is My mother and who are My brothers?” 49 And having stretched out Her hand toward Her taught ones, She said, “See My mother and My brothers! 50 “For whoever does the desire of My Father who is in the heavens is My brother and sister and mother.”
(3) Our Messiah taught us that She was our only Teacher and Rabbi and that Our Only One Spiritual Father is in heaven. Our Messiah specifically speaking about our Spiritual Father said nobody on this earth is to be called Father for Our Father is in heaven.
Mat 23:8 “But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi,’ for One is your Teacher, the Messiah, and you are all brothers. 9 “And do not call anyone on earth your father, for One is your Father, He who is in the heavens. 10 “Neither be called leaders, for One is your Leader, the Messiah.
Therefore anyone who calls them self a spiritual Father (“pope” is from the Latin for “papa” or “father”, priests and bishops who call themselves “father” are exalting themselves above Our Father in heaven and is in direct opposition to a doctrine taught be Our Messiah. This doctrine has been completely and utterly ignored by The Vatican. John Paul II in his book “Crossing The Threshold of Hope” alluded to this and passed it off as people just being traditional. Do we want to believe in the traditions of a humans or hold to a teachings of Yashayahnah Messiah and Our Father? The Father and Our Savior must stand above any human tradition.
Luk 4:4 But Yashayahnah answered him, saying, “It has been written, ‘Evakind shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of Elohim.’ ” Evakind=mankind
(4) In resurrection there is no evidence in the recorded teachings of the Scriptures stating that the first day of the week supplanted the regular Jewish Sabbath. “Sunday” became the new weekly Sabbath day. Rome created this day. A man created this day when the Sabbath was created by the Eternal for us. This is one of Satan’s most terrible of deceptions. If Elohim has set days for us to worship and we deliberately worship on a different day what does this tell Elohim about our love and obedience to Elohim? Two major religions Sunday Christianity and Islam have changed the Sabbath Day according to the words of men. Elohim has never uttered anything that changed the Sabbath day.
(5) The Scriptures do not specifically disclose the birth date of Our Messiah. Additionally in recognizing the birth of The Messiah the “wise men” presented gifts befitting a Sovereign. No gifts were exchanged in Bethlehem. Christmas traditions today and the lie that is Santa Claus are rooted in paganism and do not represent in anyway the Set-Apart Sabbath days that were set by Elohim for us to celebrate. The Scriptures mention to us many times to avoid the mighty ones and idols of the gentile nations. Many Christmas traditions are derived from pagan traditions and we therefore should avoid Christmas.
(6) The Messiah revealed that She was One with The Father. No image of any kind can represent the living Oneness of Elohim. We are taught to love Our Father with all our heart, mind and soul and with all our strength. When we bow down to or kneel in front of any image or icon of anything representing “heaven” we are doing so to an inanimate object, an object of no life and ultimately an object that will lead us to death. The Commandments expressly prohibit images but man made law has for a large portion of Christianity taken precedent. We must not transgress The Commandments and anyone who teaches us to do so is an anti-messiah. Reverence of idols is a violation of the following Commandments
Exo 20:3-6 “You have no other mighty ones against My face. 4 “You do not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of that which is in the heavens above, or which is in the earth beneath, or which is in the waters under the earth, 5 you do not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, Yehshayahna your Elohim am a jealous Ěl, visiting the crookedness of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing kindness to thousands, to those who love Me and guard My commands.
(7) The Messiah taught us that the assembly was to be built upon the rock that Yashayahnah Messiah was and is. The foundation and cornerstone of the assembly is Yashayahnah Messiah. A religion headed by The Vatican in Rome called Roman Catholicism has evolved where priests are called “father” who also act in the persona of Messiah by taking the place of Messiah. The term “Vicar of Christ” is a term used by the Pontiff. “Vicar” comes from the Latin “vicarius” meaning “serving instead of”. It literally means the Pontiff is “Serving Instead of Christ” which no person can possibly do. Between calling priests, bishops and the pope “fathers” and allowing them to represent themselves in the “persona of Christ” Satan has deceptively deceived a large portion of Christianity into worshiping men instead of Our Father. By taking the “Persona of Christ” they are denying that Messiah existed. No man or woman can take the place of The Savior or Our Father and if we let them our place in the Sovereigndom will be lost. Please do not lose your place in the Sovereigndom over the traditions created by man and hold onto the teachings of Our Messiah, aspects of the Torah and The Commandments given to us by Our Elohim.
The Father and Yashayahnah Messiah know we have been deceived by Satan. As we uncover the ways in which we have been deceived it’s important in joining John Denver in singing an apology for living without The Father and Messiah Yashayahnah.
In nature very very few caterpillars are transfigured into butterflies. The vast majority of caterpillars end up as worm food for predators. Between Satan and his anti-messiahs very few of us worms will be transfigured into butterflies of the Sovereigndom. Each of us must find the path. The narrow gate is easily missed given the false doctrines and teachings of the many anti-messiahs that live among us.
Mat 7:13-14 “Enter in through the narrow gate! Because the gate is wide – and the way is broad – that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter in through it. 14 “Because the gate is narrow and the way is hard pressed which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
We should praise, bless and thank The Father in Yashayahnah Messiah’s name and ask for guidance along the hard pressed and afflicted way that leads to life.
Thought of the Day
Wed, Feb 22, 2012 Abba
aba (ἀββᾶ,אבּא , 'abbā), Hebraic-Chaldaic, Father): In Jewish and old-Christian prayers, a name by which God was addressed, then in oriental churches a title of bishops and patriarchs. So Jesus addresses God in prayer (Mat_11:25, Mat_11:26; Mat_26:39, Mat_26:42; Luk_10:21; Luk_22:42; Luk_23:34; Joh_11:41; Joh_12:27; Joh_17:24, Joh_17:25). In Mar_14:36; Rom_8:15, and Gal_4:6 ὁ πατήρ, ho patḗr, is appended even in direct address, in an emphatic sense. Servants were not permitted to use the appellation in addressing the head of the house. See Delitzsch on Rom_8:15; compare G. Dalman, Gram. des jd.-palast. Aramaisch, etc., section 40, c. 3.

I. Name and Genealogy
This name, which is written defectively in the older books, such as those of Samuel, but fully with the yodh in Chronicles and the later books, is derived, like the similar name Jedidish (2Sa_12:25), from a root meaning to love. The only person who bears this name in the Bible is the son of Jesse, the second king of Israel. His genealogy is given in the table appended to the Book of Ruth (Rth_4:18-22). Here the following points are to be noted: David belonged to the tribe of Judah: his ancestor Nahshon was chieftain of the whole tribe (Num_1:7; Num_2:3; 1Ch_2:10) and brother-in-law of Aaron the high priest (Exo_6:23). As no other descendants of Nahshon are mentioned, his authority probably descended to Jesse by right of primogeniture. This supposition is countenanced by the fact that Salma (Salmon), the name of the son of Nahshon and father of Boaz, is also the name of a grandson of Caleb who became father of Bethlehem, the home of Jesse (1Ch_2:51). David was closely connected with the tribe of Moab, the mother of his grandfather Obed being Ruth the Moabitess. Of the wife or wives of Jesse we know nothing, and consequently are without information upon a most interesting point - the personality of the mother of David; but that she too may have been of the tribe of Moab is rendered probable by the fact that, when hard pressed, David placed his parents under the protection of the king of that country (1Sa_22:3, 1Sa_22:1).
