Glory to El Shaddai, Our Father,
In His Son Yeshua HaMashiach.

The Commonwealth
of Yisrael.

Yeshua Shalom.

         For the sake of Convention we will Understand that ìThe Commonwealth of Yisraelî is the Name Given to THE CHURCH, by the Holy Spirit, at her Inception at Pentecost (Acts 1-4; Eph. 2:12; Strongs #4174).

         From the greek word ìEkklesia,î The Church is ìThe House that belongs to Adonay,î Purchased by the Precious Blood of His Son, Our Savior and LordYeshua HaMashiach (Jesus The Messiah; 1Pet.1:18-23; Heb.9:12-14,20;  Heb.10:19-22; 13:12,20; Ezk.20:37,38; 36:25-27; 37:23-26). ìThough Vedic religions of the Aryan of the Punjab (Contrary to popular beliefs, not a white supremacist group but a "Tribe" of people in a province in India) would boast of its antiquity; Christianity (Acts 1:26) is the Oldest ìFaithî on earth, the Promise of Redemption being as old as the Fall of Manî [(a): ìThe Worship of the Old Testamentî by Rev. E.F. Willis, Pub. James Parker &Co. © 1880; Not an Endorsement].

         ìThe Advent of Yeshua The Messiah (HaMashiach) did Not Sever the Jewish Church from the Christian Church, but welded both into One United Wholeî (Re.: Eph.4:1-7,24; Eph.2:14,15; Col.3:10,11; Gal.6:15,16). Therefore we Understand that : ìThe Jewish Church and the Chr-stian Church are in Reality One Church, in Different Stages of Developmentî [(a), Re.: Gal.3:29]; from whence we get the Judeo-Christian roots of that (1St. Ammendment, 2Cor.6:14-18) once great nation.

          ìThe Church was founded before the first Gentiles (term pertaining either to non believers, or non Jews) were Received in (Jhn.17:6-8), with the assignment of the 12 Apostles for the 12 Tribes of Yisrael (1Cor.3:11; Eph.2:20), as the 12 Foundations of the Church (Rev.21:12-14), ìthe Righteousness of El Shaddai being Witnessed (Testified of) by The Law and the Prophets (the Jews)î (Rom.3:21,22; (a); Scripture references by the author).
.
         In Hebrews 10:1 we have an Incomplete Picture due to the Weakness of the translation:

ìThe Law having a Shadowof the Good Thing toCome,
butNot the very Image of the Thing.î

        Wordsworth (a) points out that the word Shadow is more accurately translated: sketch, or Outline;î and the word Image is better translated: ìPicture.î Thus we have:

ìThe Law being the Outline of the Good Thing to come,
but not the very Picture thereof.î

         Thus we can see the relation between the two more clearly:

  1/ The Law is the Sketch (backbone),
  2/ The
New Covenant is the Colors, the Picture (the body),
  3/ of the yet Unseen
Reality in Heaven (Gal.4:26).


 As Theodoret (a: Not an Endorsement) said:

           ìThe Law is a mere Sketch of the Future, and is not the Picture. Until the painter lays on the Colors of the painting, it is only a Sketch, but when he adds the hues, it becomes a Picture. Such was the Law, for He calls it a sketch of the future Good thing. As the picture (N.T.) falls short of the Reality (Heaven: Heb.11:3) so do our present mysteries fall short of the Future good things which are Perfect; and as the sketch falls short of the Picture, so does The Law fall short of GRACE. The Picture, although it does not exhibit the Reality, is a Vivid Resemblance thereof, but the Sketch is a faint Outline of the Picture

         The Priestly Office is to continue ìforeverî (Ex.30:8; 1Chr.23:13), Yeshua HaMashiach (ìThe Word made flesh:î Jhn.1:1-3, 14) is The ìOnlyî ìHigh Priest of the Order of Melchizedekî (Heb.2:17; 4:14-16; 5:6; 6:20; Ps.110:1-4), and the Continuation of the Levitical Priesthood (Mal.2:4-9; Matt.5:17-20), in the ìNewness of the Spirit, Not the Oldness of the Letterî (Rom.2:28,29; Rom.7:6); now open to All (Is.66:20,21).

         The ritual performances under the Old Covenant have been Abolished (2Cor.3:4-13), along with the Carnal Ordinances of: ìeat not, touch not, drink notî (Heb.7:15-19; 9:9,10), which never made anyone Perfect (Heb.10:1). The Minister of the Gospel is now the Priest and Levite To our High Priest Yeshua (Acts 4:11,12; 1Cor.11:3; Eph.1:22; 4:15; 5:23; Col.1:18; 2:10,19; 3:16; 1Pet.2:7-9; (b)); and ìOnlyî Yeshua (The Word) HaMashiach (our Savior) is to have the Preeminence in All things (Col.1:18; Philem.v.6).

         Snt. Ambrose (a) applies the name Levite to the Christian Minister in his treatise on the Duties of the Minister (4th century C.E.; Not an Endorsement):

       ìIf here was such a Strict Observance in the Figure (O.T.), how great ought there be in the Reality (N.T.)? Learn O Priest and Levite what is to Wash your Robe (Rev.3:18; Matt.22:3-14; 2Cor.5:3,4; Rom.8:22,23; 1Cor.15:53; 1Pet.1:18-23; (b)), that you might present a clean body for the celebration of the sacramentsî (Mal.4:5,6).

         And HE shall sit as a Refiner and Purifier of silver: and he shall Purify the Sons of Levi (the priesthood; Dan.11:30-36; Rev.1:5,6), and Purge them as gold and silver (Deut.4:20; 1Kng.8:51; Is.48:10; Jer.9:7; 11:4; Ezk.22:18-22; Dan.11:33-35; 12:10; Rev.13:7,8; Rev.7:9-14; (b)), that they may offer unto YHWH a ìMinchahî (offering) in Righteousness. Then shall the ìMinchahî of Judah and Jerusalem be Pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old (Jer.6:16), and as in former yearsî (Mal.3:3,4; Re.: Is.4).

The word ìMinchahî (#4503) means a Pure Offering: a morning and evening offering which was prominent in Jewish worship , which in the Newness of the Spiritî will  probably be continued throughout the Millennial Kingdom (Zech.14:16 ->).

         Therefore saith YHWH, the LORD of hosts, the Mighty One of Yisrael, Ah, I will Ease Me of Mine Adversaries, and Avenge Me of Mine Enemies: And I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely Purge away thy Dross, and take away all thy tin:  And I will Restore Thy Judges As At The First, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called, The City Of Righteousness, The Faithful City (Rev.3:8-10?). Zion shall be Redeemed With Judgment, and her Repentant Ones with Righteousness. And the Destruction of the Transgressors and of the Sinners shall be together (2Thes.1:7-10; 2Thes2.2:10-12; Rom.1:18), and they that FORSAKE THE LORD shall be Consumed (Is.1:23-28).

We are:
ìThe Commonwealth of Yisraelî

                                                                                                                                    (Eph.2:12)

         We Praise YHWH Adonay (The Lord our God) for the Loving Sacrifice of His Only Begotten Son Yeshua HaMashiach (Jhn.3:16; 5:43,44; 7:16-18), by Whose Precious Blood we are Redeemed to the Father (Rev.5:9,10; 1:5,6), Washed of the sins of the world (Jhn.1:29; 1Jhn.1:9), and made Accepted in the Beloved (Eph.1:6).

 Beware of dogs,
beware of evil workers, beware of the concision.
For we are the circumcision,
who Worship God in the Spirit (Jhn.4:20-24),
and Rejoice IN Christ Jesus,
and have No Confidence in the flesh

                                                                                                                        (Phil. 3:2,3).

         We are Abra-hr-amís*Seed (Gal.3:29; Rom.9:7,8) by Faith (Eph.2:7,8), an Assembly Before (Gen.17:1; Matt.5:48) YHWH Adonay (The Lord Our G-d), who have been Called Out of the world (Jhn.15:18,19; Rom.12:2; Eph.4:20-24; 2Tim.2:15,16; 2Tim.3:16,17; 2Cor.10:3-5; Ex.19:1-5; Deut.14:2; Jhn17:11-26; 1Pet.2:9; 2Cor.6:14-18; Rev.18:4), ìto Show (NOT JUST TALK) Forth the Praise  of HIM who called us Out of Darkness (ignorance: 2Cor.4:4-6) into His Marvellous Light (1Pet.2:9. By Whose Love we are Separated (Eph.2:4-6), and Sanctified unto YHWH Adonay our Father (Ex.33:16; Lev.20:24-26; Nmb.6:2; 10:23; 16:9; Neh.9:2,3; 1Kng.8:53; Is.52:11; 2Cor.6:14-18; rev.18:4), through (2Cor.5:18-20) His Son Yeshua The Messiah (Zech.4:6; Eph.6:17), The Word Made Flesh (ps.138:2; 127:1,2; Jhn.15:19-25; 1Jhn.5:1-9 better translations), to the Praise of His Glory (Rom.9:4; 1Pet.2:9; Deut.32:28-31; Acts 7:38), that we may Grow in Love (1Jhn.4:8; Eph.4:15; 1Pet.2:2; 2Pet.3:18) to

ìThe Fullness of the Measure of The Christ in usî

(Gal.4:19; Eph.4:11-13; 1Cor.12:4-12; 1Cor.13:1-9; 1Cor.14:26-40; 1Cor.2:5-11 [*the ìhrî is allegedly the non vowelized pronunciation of the tetragamon, which Adonay inserted in Abrams Name in Gen.17:5, courtesy of Robert Steele]).

I As the Temple of El Shaddai.

         We are First Individually (1Cor3:16-18; 1Cor.6:19,20; 2Cor.6:16), and then as an Assembly of The Faithful (1Cor.4:2), Indwelt by the Holy Spirit:ìThe Spirit of Truthî (Jhn.16:13; Jhn.17:17-19; Jhn.15:26,27), to Be a (Jms.1:22) Praise to, and ìWorship El Shaddai in Spirit (Zech.4:6; Jhn.6:63) and in Truthî (Jhn.4:20-24; Jhn.14:6; ergo: In His Word, and In His Word), in Word (James 3:2; Ps.138:2; 1Pet.4:11; 1Jhn.3:9; 1Pet.1:23), and In-Deed (Jhn.8:31,32; Prov.3:5-7), and ìPut No Confidence in the Fleshî (Phil.3:3).

         We Are therefore an Holy Temple (1Pet.1:15,16; Acts 14: Mrk.14:58; Acts 7:48) to El Shaddai ìBuilt on the Foundation (1Cor.3:11-15) of the Apostles, and the Prophetsî (Eph.2:20-24; Acts 2:42), of whom Yeshua the Messiah is the Chief Cornerstone (1Pet.2:6,7; Rev.19:10), and the Only Head (Ps.1:1-3, 1Cor.11:3; Eph.1:22; 5:23; Col.1:18; 2:10; Rev.1:5,6).

         We Are therefore a House of Divine Presence (Heb.12:22-24), in whom our Father in Heaven Lives (Luke 17:21; Ex.29:45,46; Lev.26:12; Jer.24::7; 30:17-22; Jer.31:1,2; Jer.31:31-34; Ezk.36:27,28; 37:14; 39:29; Joel 2:28,29), through Christ in Us (2Cor.5:21), when we Separate ourselves unto Him (Acts 2:40; Acts 5:32; 2Cor.6:17; lest we go I-chabod: 1Sam.4:21).

        As the House of ìRoyal Overcomersî (Eph.2:4-6; 1Pet.2:9 1Jhn.5:1-5; Rev.1:5,6; 3:8-12;  quote courtesy of George Geftakys, book by same title; not an endorsement), and as the ìBride of Christî (Eph.5:22-27; Rev.19:7; 20:4), are to be a Living Example (1Pet.5:3) of the New Jerusalem to come (Gal.4:26; Rev.21:2).

         We will therefore Live Lives (Rom.6:17; 2Tim.3:12) of Godly Reverence (Phil.2:12; Tit.2:12) and Holy and Faithful Worship (1Pet.1:7,13-22), and ìPray Always to be Accounted Worthy to Escape all those things that Will come to Pass, and Stand before the Son of Manî (Luke 21:36), by continually maintaining the ìDifference (Gal.5:17; Jms.4:4) between the Holy and the profaneî (Lev.10:10; Jer.23:22; 25:5; Zech.1:4), for:

îWhere there isNoSeparation, there is Contaminationî

                                                                                                                                        (Jms.4:4; courtesy of Scott Davis).

And they shall TEACH MYPeople the DIFFERENCE between the HOLY and Profane,
and cause them to
Discern Between the Unclean and the Clean

                                                                                                                                                            (Ezk.44:23; 22:26).

II As The Pillar of Truth.

         The Church is the Guardian of The Truth of El Shaddai (1Tim.3:15; 2Tim.2:2), and Defender of the Faith (Eph.6:10-18; 2Cor.10:3-5; Jude v.3), that is to be Faithfully Communicated (1Cor.4:2; 2Cor.2:17; Tit.1:9; Jer.11:3; 17:5; 48:10), for: ì For other Foundation can no man lay than that is laid,

Who is Yeshua The Christî

                                                                                                    (1Cor.3:11; Re.: Jhn.1:1-3,14; Jhn.10:1-11;  Ps.127:1,2;
                                                                                                        Ps.138:2; Jhn.6:63; Eph.2:12-22; 6:17).

III As Spiritual Yisrael.

         The Church Is The Assembly of the Disciples of Yeshua (Jhn.8:31-36) The Messiah (Acts 11:26), the ìTalmidim Natzatrimî (ìDisciples of the Nazarite:î John Stern, ìJewish New Testamentî), who Abide INChrist (The Word) In-Deed (Jhn.8:31,32; 15:1-6). Being Seeds of the Promises to ìAbra-Hr-amî by Faith (Gal.3:18-29; Gal.4:28,29; Rom.9:4-9; 1Cor.3:23; Heb.4:11-16) without Racial Distinction.

         Bind up the Testimony (See: "The Seal and Testimony of El shaddai" by this author), Seal TheLaw (Rom.3:31) among my Disciples. And I will Wait upon the LORD, Who hideth His face from the house of Jacob, and I will Look for Him. Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath Given me are for Signs and for Wonders in Yisrael from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in Mount Zion (Isa.8:16-18).

         Yashua HaMashiach Is The Seed of Abra-Hr-am (Gal.3:14-16), and as such Established the continuation of the Levitical Priesthood (Mal.2:4-9; Mal.4:5,6); and though the Unbelief of the Jews (Ro.11:11; Is.66:21) ushered in the Times of the gentiles,î (Luke 21:24) the Jews have Not been Cut Off from the Promise to Abra-Hr-am (Rom.11:26), though Separated from The Vine at this time (Jhn.15:1-9; Matt.21:43; Heb.7:1-19).

         Though The Law is of Non Effect, ìnot making any man Perfectî (Heb.7:19), The Law is nonetheless the Foundation To the Faith (Gal.3:23 -> Gal.4:1-5), and is Still the ìRuleî (Rom.13:9-12; 1Tim.1:8-11; 1Jhn.3:4-8) of the ìHousehold of Faith,î knowing By Faith (Gal.5:5; Eph.2:10), that Yeshua will make His Righteousness (Is.64:6) Manifest in us (Rom.8:3,4; Rom.3:31; 1Tim.4:1-3; 2Tim.3:1-7; 4:3,4; 2Pet.2:1-4; Jude v.4).

Grace Is NotLicence!!
("Anything Goes" is NOT Faith).

IV As The Kingdom of Adonay.

         The Living Word (Jer.2:12,13; 17:13; Jhn.7:37,38), in the ìNew and Living Way which HaMashiach has Consecrated for us, through His Bloodî (Heb.10:19-20; Eph.2:16), in the ìNewness of the Spirit (Jhn.6:63; Rev.19:10; Zech.4:6), Not in the Oldness of the Letterî (Rom.2:28,29; 6:4; 7:6), is given to the Assembly of the Faithful (Is.1:21,26; Acts ch.1 -> 4; 2Cor.6:14-18; 2Tim.2:2), so as to Be Microcosms of the Unseen Kingdom (Matt.5:16), of which We Are:

         Ambassadors for Christ (2Cor.5:18-20), armed with the Gospel of Peace (Eph.6:13) and Reconciliation (2Cor.5:19,20), to bring man Back To Adonay (not to Pretend to Reconcile Adonay down to men [Rom.1:23]), and Manifest the Peace of El Shaddai on earth (Gal.6:16; Luke 1:68-79; 2:14; Jhn.14:27; 16:33). ìThe Dispensation of the Fullness of Timesî (Eph.1:10) which is Now; may even bring forth a literal ìIngatheringî in an earthly fulfillment of Daniel 2:34,35,44,45; which was started by Christ at Calvary (courtesy of Elijah Voris), as a scale model of the Millennial Kingdom (Matt.24:14).

V As The Body of HaMashiach.

         It is written: ìLet Everyone who names the Name of Christ, DEPART from Iniquity [sin]î (2Tim.2:19), thus Despite Denominational Barriers (Eph.4:11-13; 1Cor.12:14-20), TheChurch, soon to be Universal (Eph.1:20-22; Matt.28:18; Ps.8:6; 110:1-4; Dan.2:45; 1Cor.15:27; Heb.2:7; Col.2:18) Is a:

     SINGLE CONGREGATION (Eph.4:1-7) though made up of Many Parts, administrations, and members
        (1Cor.12:4-13, 27-31; Eph.4:11-16; Phil.3:10; Col.1:27,28; Heb.5:12-14), of:
Brothers and Sisters
        (Matt.23:6-8; 1Tim5:1,2; 1Cor.7:1-4; 1Thes.4:3-5) of the
CHIEF BRETHREN (Heb.2:10,11; 5:8,9),
        in the
Household of Faith (Gal.6:1-10), who Edify one another INTheFaith (2Cor.1:1-7; 1Cor.10:5-12;
        14:12,26; 2Cor.8:7; 12:19; Gal.2:21; Eph.5:1-7; Col.3:15,16; 4:6; Phil.3:20; 1Tim.1:4; 1Pet.4:11; 2Pet.3:18), and
       
Minister to each otherís Needs (not wants:Ps.23; Phil.4:19), as the Spirit Leads (Acts ch.2 -> 4;
        Rom.12:3-16; 1Cor.9:11-14; 2Cor.8:12-14; Col.2:19); whereby growing into a greater
Relationship (to Relate to
        one another) with the Lord through our
Obedience (Rom.6:17; Eph.6:6,7; Col.3:23), and with each other IN the
       
Love of El Shaddai (1Jhn.4:8; Jude v.21-23), through The Word {Jhn.1:14), By The Spirit
        (Rom.8:12-17; Gal.5:22-26).

VI As The Bride of HaMashiach.

         As the Bride of the Lamb (Rev.19:7,8; Eph.5:26,27; Heb.9:14) we are Called (Matt.20:16; Phil.2:12) to be ìwithout spot and without spot and without blemishî (Eph.5:27; 2Pet.3:14), Washed by the Blood of the Lamb (Rev.5:9,10; 1Pet.1:18,19), Cleansed by the Water of The Word (Eph.5:26; Heb.10:22; Jer.2:12,13; 17:13; Jhn.15:3), through our Obedience (Rom.6:17; Heb.5:8,9; Acts 5:32).

         We are to Know by Faith the ìOld Manî Is Buried with Christ (Rom.6; Col.3:1-6) in the Baptism for the Remission of Sins (Col.2:10-15), and We Are Risen Again to the Newness of Life (Rom.6:4; 7:6), ìbeing Renewed in the spirit of our mindî (Eph.4:20-24), to ìnot be Conformed to that world, but Transformed by the Renewing of our mindsî (Rom.12:2; Jms.4:4), to Become (Jhn.1:12) the Image of the Son of Adonay (Rom.8:29; 6:5; 1Cor.15:49; Col.3:10), ìbringing Every Thought (beginning with our own) In Subjection to the Obedience of HaMashiachî (2Cor.10:3-5), The LIVING WORD (Phil.2:12; 2Tim.2:15; 2Tim.3:16,17), ìthat we should no longer live the rest of our lives IN the flesh (Gal.5:17-21) to the lusts (desires of the flesh and world #1939) of men, but to The Will of Adonayî (1Pet.4:1,2; Heb.9:14; 2Cor.5:14,15; Rom.13:14), for We Are:

     A ROYAL PRIESTHOOD (1Pet.2:9; Rev.1:5,6; 5:8-10; Ex.19:1-5; Deut.14:2) to El Shaddai our Father,
        in His Son Yeshua HaMashiach. Therefore as the
Bride mourns and fasts in the Absence of her Husband
        (Matt.9:15; Mrk.2:19), we will also
Live Soberly (Level Headed #4996; Tit.2:2,4,6,12; Rom.12:3; 1Pet.1:13;
        4:7; 5:8; 1Thes.5:6-8; 1Tim.3:2), in
Godly Reverence (Rom.2:11-13; 3:18; Jms.4:6-11; Ps.36:1; 111:10;
        Mic.6:8), so as to not get entangled in ìthe
Cares of this Lifeî (Mrk.4:19; 2Tim.2:3,4), and the
        Deceitfulness of Richesî (Matt.13:22) and Sins (Heb.3:13).

                We are to Not be likened to ìFoolish Virginsî (Matt.25:1-12), "burning our candles at both ends"
        and risking to Get
Excluded altogether (Matt.22:2-14; Is.66:5; Gal.4:17-20).

                We are Not to be, as some ch-rches that have been Invaded by Wolves as those: "Having a form
        of godliness, but Denying the Power Thereof: from such Turn Away. For of "that" sort are
        they which creep into houses, and lead
Captive silly women laden with sins, LedAway with
        Divers Lusts (worldly or fleshly deaires #1939), Ever Learning, and Never Able to come to
       
The Knowledge of The Truth" (2Tim. 3:5-7; Jer.2:13). Nor are we to be as those: " Having
        damnation, because they have
cast off their First Faith. And withal they learn to be Idle (Prov.31:27),
        Wandering about from house to house; and not only Idle (Ezk.16:49,50), but Tattlers (and other Gossips;
        Gal.5:15) also and
Busybodies, speaking things which they Ought Not (Tit.1:10,11; 1Tim.4:7,8;
        2Tim.4:3,4; 1Tim.6:5-10;  2Tin.2:16). I will therefore that the younger women Marry, bear children,
        Guide the House, give None Occasion to the Adversary (1Pet.5:8) to speak Reproachfully.
        For some are already
Turned Aside after Satan (1Tim. 5:12-15).

                And be Watchful for the Coming of Yeshua (Matt.24:42; 26:41; Mrk.14:38; Luke 21:36; Rev.3:2).

VII As Pilgrims and Strangers in this world.

         We have as of yet ìNo Continuing Cityî (home) in this world (Heb.11:13-16,25,26; 13:12-15; 1Pet.2:11; Lev.25:23; 1Chr.29:15; Neh.9:2,3; Jms.4:4-11), and we are Commanded to keep the Fellowship of the Household of Faith Separate (2Cor.6:14-18) from the Pollution of the world (2Pet.2:17-20), for: ìa little Leaven Leavens the whole Lumpî (Gal.5:9; 1Cor.5:6; Col.2:22; Matt.15:8,9; 16:11,12).

         Babylon (Babble-On) is Falling (Rev.18:2-4), and we have Instruction to Get Out of Babylon lest we ìPartake of her Sins, and Receive of her Plaguesî (Rev.18:4; Is.48:20; 52:11,12; Jer.50:8; 51:6), an Option that would Not be Available if ìCome out of Herî was spelled ìcome up hitherî (note for Pre-Tribbers).

        Thus we are to Get Outof the Socio-economic, Political, and Psycho-Emotional Manipulation (Witchcraft, of which TV is a big tool; 2Tim.3:1-7; 1984 is Not Fiction!), Pseudo (pretend) Spiritual (2Tim.3:5; Eph.6:10,11; Gal.5:19-21; Rev.9:21; 18:23) Mindset (Rom.12:2) of the System of the Beast, which is Insidiously Invading the Sub-Culture (undermining the Culture) of the Judeo-Christian roots of the Nation (in particular)` and world; and Prepare for an Exodus out of their Corruption (Defilement #5351; 2Pet.2:19,20), before we Reap of her Plague (Luke 21:35) which Will Come with little or NoWarning (Luke 21:35).

         Though not without hope for a ìLand of Milk and Honeyî(so to speak) of our own (Rev.3:8-10; Dan.2:34-45), as a possible ìInterpretationalî fulfillment  of Hebrews 11:16; 12:22; and Joel 3:17; the Household of Faith can look forward to some Drastic Changes seeing as the socioeconomic structure of the world is becoming Increasingly Computerized (Cashless Society; Rev.13:17, see: "We The Pilgrims"), and increasingly Anti-Christian (Dan.11:34; 2Thes.2:4-12).

VIII As Called to Suffer.

         Yeshua Warned us: ìYou will be Hated of all men for My Nameís(THE WORD: Jhn1:14; Ps.138:2; Phil,2:9-11; Ex.20:7) Sakeî (Matt.10:22); and the more we draw near the End of the Age, the more the Division between the flesh and the Spirit (Gal.5:17; Gal.4:29; Ezk.44:23), will be made more and more manifest as we Increase in The Faith (2Pet.3:18) by The Word (Rom.10:17; 1Cor.11:19; Matt.10:34; Heb.4:12), and the Persecution of the Faithful will Increase even within their (so called) chu-ches (Matt.10:17; 23:34); and while ìthey attempt to Flatter us (Dan.11:34) with Roses, they being too Selfish to give us the flower, will Whip us with the Stemî (Authorís humor).

         Walking IN The Spirit (Gal.5:25), is a LIFE of ìRighteousness (not self, ìfilthy rags:î Is.64:6), Peace (not war, no matter what ì1984î wants to pretend), and Joy (not: ìmisery loves their own companyî), in the Holy Spiritî (Rom.14:17). Those who ìwalk in the fleshî however (Rom.8:5-8; Eph.2:2,3; Gal.5:19-21), will become increasingly Resentful (Gal.4:29) of the ìRemnant according to the Election of Graceî (Rom.11:5; Gal.5:16; Matt.6:31-34; Col.3:1-6, 12-17) who will Not be a Majority in western theology: ìAll this I have told you so that you will Not Go Astray. They will put you Out of the synagogues (church buildings; others may just have to leave); in fact, a Time is Coming when anyone who Kills you will Think (Prov.3:5; Rev.11:7-10, as a Type) he is offering a Service to g-d. They Willdo such things because they have Not Known the Father or Meî (Jhn.16:1-3; NIV).

         Thus the Admonition ìBe ye Separateî (Is.52:11; 2Cor.6:14-18) is going to become an increasingly Prudent (Jer.9:4) course of action, without ìForsaking the Assembling of ourselves with the ìTrueî Believerî (Heb.10:25), noting that the word Unbelief (2Cor.6:14) is also spelled Disobedience (# 570, 571, 543, 544). There is however a good side to adversity in theìTrying of our Faithî (study by this author; Jms.1:2-4; 2Pet.1:4-12), for the Cleansing (of the Heart in Particular) from Sin (Jer.2:19; Ezk.20:37,38; 37:23) and the Perfecting(Eph.4:11-16) of the Saints (Rom.1:7; 1Cor.1:2; 2Cor.1:1; Heb.2:10,11; 5:8,9; Rom.8:17; 1Pet.4:1,2; Dan.11:33-35; 12:10), which will Not last indefinitely (1Pet.5:10).

         The devil gets Angry (Rev.12:10-12) when we set out to Get Out of ìthe Machineryî (Is.59:15; Pink Floyd) and will not spare us any punches (hence the importance of getting Out of Sin: giving îno place to the devilî [Eph.4:27; 6:10-18; Phil.1:28; 1Pet.5:8,9; 1Pet.4:12,13; 1Jhn.3:4-8); which is why we must be Strong in the Faith (The Word: Rom.10:17; Eph.6:10-12; Josh.1:8,9), Covered (Living In The Covering; Is.30:1-14) by The Blood (Rev.5:8-10, Jude v.21; Rev.12:10-12; Jhn.8:44), and well grounded inTHE WORD (Col.1:23).

IX As The Fulfillment of The Great Commission.

         ìNews of this came to the ears of The Church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he came and saw the Grace of Adonay, he rejoiced, and he exhorted them all to Remain Faithful to the Lord with Steadfast Devotion;  for he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of Faith. And a great many people were brought to the Lord. Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for an entire year they met with The Church and taught a great many people, and it was in Antioch that the Disciples were first called ìChristiansî (Acts 11:22-26).

         True Christianity is Not a Emotional Affectation of Undefined (John4:20-24) Faith (Rom.10:17; 1Tim.4:1-3), regardless of certain ìPopularî (Luke 16:15) trends in western theology leaning more and more into a Secular Humanism "Fairy Tale" type (2Tim.4:3,4) of Emotional Secularism ìFeel Good,î John Lennon for (in place of, Anti-) Christ ìImaginaryî (2Cor.10:5) Faith, of Amusement Park, ìcereal box Religionî for Overgrown Juvenile (no innocence implied) Delinquents, who forgot they have ìNothing to kill or die for.î

         The Word Christian means to be a Disciple of Yeshua HaMashiach (Luke 6:46; Jhn.15:14), not of oneís own, nor anybody elseís Ego (Rom.1:20-24). Yeshua also gave us ìThe Great Commissionî (Not Divine Option: Calvary Chapel) to Teach His Commandments, to make Disciples (not "Blind" Adherents) of all people (Matt.28:18,19; Mrk.16:15), ìThat Repentance for the Remission of Sins should be Preached in His Name among all the nations (Luke 24:45), and Baptizing them in the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spiritî (Matt.28:18).

        ìAnd He shall be for a Sanctuary; but for a Stone of Stumbling and for a Rock of Offence (1Pet.2:2-9) to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a Snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And Many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Bind up the Testimony, Seal The Law among MyDisciplesî (Is.8:14-16; noting the word Disciple means: Learned, Instructed (Mal.2:7), to Guard from loss, to fulfill a command, to keep (Jhn.8:31,32), to hold fast #3929, Hebrew).

         What is Unfortunately understated in Play Grownup society, is that one cannot make Disciples unless one IS a Disciple (2Tim.2:15,16). Thus The Church is to be a Discipling School in which ìThe Perfecting of the Saintsî (Eph.4:11-13) is the Primary Duty of the Shepherd, and our First Prerogative (1Pet.5:1-9), so that ìThe Christ may be Fully Formed in usî (Gal.4:19; Eph.4:13; 1Cor.4:15; 2Cor.10:3-5).

         Thus the Household of Faith Must Return to THE WORD, and the "Standard" (Jer.50:2) set forth by the Holy Spirit (Acts 1 -> 4) for the Discipline (Root of the word Disciple; Matt.7:14) of the Faith (Rom.11:22; Heb.2:3; 6:4-6; 2Pet.2:20,21; avoiding any Play Radical Interpretations) to be Learned. The Church also needs do a Serious Weeding Out of the ìDoctrines of menî (Matt.15.8,9; Matt.16:23; Is.29:13-16), in order for The Bride to make Herself Ready (Rev.19:7,8) and not be Sidetracked (James 4:4) into Forgetting her Head (Eph.5:22-27), which seems to be becoming an increasing trend in western theology (1Tim.4:1-3; 2Tim.4:3,4), along with  her clergy wanting to Pretend they are allowed to Rewrite THE WORD to suit themselves (opinion seen aired on T.B.N. since 1989).

         We are Not to Forget: "The Disciple is Not Above his Master, nor the servant above his Lord. It is enough for the Disciple that he be AS his Master, and the servant AS his Lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of His Household?" (Matt.10:24,25).  But be Not ye called Rabbi: for ìOnlyî One Is your Master, even Christ; and All ye are Brethren. And call NO man your father upon the earth: for ìOnlyî One is your Father, Who is in Heaven. Neither be ye called masters: for ìOnlyî One is your Master, even Christ. But he that is greatest among you shall be your Servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall Humble (Mic.6:8) himself shall be exalted. But Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye Shut Up the Kingdom of Heaven against men: for ye neither go IN yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go IN (Matt.23:8-13; Re.: Luke 6:46; Jhn.15:14; Eph.1:22,23; 4:15; 1Cor.11:3; 15:27; Col.1:18; 2:19; Acts 26:23; Ps.8:6). Woe unto you, lawyers (experts in Mosaic Law)! for ye have Taken Away the Key of Knowledge (2Cor.4:4-6; 1Pet.3:18): ye entered Not In yourselves, and them who were Entering in ye Hindered ( Luke 11:52).

There Is No Room For Anarchy in

The Commonwealth of Yisrael !

X As The House of YHWH (The Lord).

     a) A House of Prayer, Praise and Worship.

           Congregational Prayer: Is.56:7; Ps.84:11; Matt.7:11; 18:19,20; Jhn.14:13,14; Jhn.15:7-9,16,17; 16:23,24;
                 Rom.8:32; Jms.1:5,6; not forgetting we are to be ìeffectual and ferventî (Jms.5:16) in our
prayer life
                 (Jms.4:1-3), not to the Exclusion of our
ìPrayer Closetî (Matt.6:6-8), in matters of Wisdom,
          Understanding, and of The Heart, which others canít necessarily Help (1Tim.5:13), and of the
                 cleansing thereof, which
Only The Lord can Do (1Jhn.1:9; Jhn.1:29). One little known Fact is that the Old
                Testament,
Prayer is alway Sung. "And he went into the temple, and began to Cast Out them that sold
                 therein, and them that
bought; Saying unto them, It is written, My house is the House of Prayer: but
                ye have made it a
den of thieves" (Luke 19:45,46).

            Congregational Praise:(1Chr.16:25; Ps.22:22-26; 29:1-5; 40:9-11; 66:2-4; 99:8,9; Ps.107:32; 145:7-12;
                  Ps.148:1-14; 1Cor.14:26; Eph.5:18-21; Col.3:16,17). ì For Thou art
Holy, O Thou that Inhabitest the
           Praises of Yisrael.î (Ps.22:3); we are The House of Adonay to Live in the Presence of
                 YHWH (Heb.4:16; 10:19-23), to
Be a Praise and Worship to His Name: ìMy son, Forget not My
             Law; and  let thine
Heart KEEP My Commandments: For length of days, and long life, and Peace,
                 shall they add to thee. Let not
Mercyand Truthforsake thee: Bind them about thy Neck; write them
                 upon the
"Tablets" of thine Heart: So shalt thou find Favour and good Understanding in the
                sight  of Adonay and man.
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto your own
            understanding (donít waste time thinking: Matt.6:27). In all thy ways
ìBe ye an acknowledgmentî
                 (personal translation) to Him, and He shall
Direct your paths. Be not Wise in your own eyes: Fear the
                 LORD, and
Depart From Evilî (Prov.3:1-7; Job 28:28). By Mercy and Truth Iniquity is Purged:
                and by the
Fear of The LORD men Depart from Evil (Prov. 16:6).

          Congregational Reading of The Law: Ex.24:3; Deut.31:11; Josh. ch.8,9; 2Kng.22:8; 23:2;
                2Chr.17:9,10; Ezra 8:22,23; Neh.8:8,9; Acts 13:14,15; 15:21; Rom.3:31; Gal.5:18; Col.4:16,17; 1Thes.5:27;
                ìUntil I arrive, give attention to the
Public Reading of Scriptures, to exhorting, to Doctrineî
                (1Tim.4:13). ì Ye
hypocrites, well did Isaiah prophesy of you, saying, This people Draweth nigh unto
                Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips; but their
heart is far from Me. But in Vain they
                do
Worship Me, Teaching for Doctrines the commandments of menî (Matt.15:7-9). ì Therefore
                whosoever heareth these Sayings (
WORDS) of Mine, and Doeth them, I will liken him unto a Wise man,
                who built his house upon a
Rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat
                upon that house; and it Fell Not: for it was founded upon a
Rock. And every one that heareth these Sayings
                of Mine, and Doeth them Not, shall be likened unto a
Foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
                And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it
Fell: and
             
Great was the fall of itî  (Matt.7:24-27).

                       The House of the Lord is intended to be a School of Higher Learning: ìFor My Thoughts are
                not
your thoughts, neither are your ways My Ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are Higher
               than the earth, so are
My Ways Higher than your ways, and My Thoughts than your thoughtsî
               (Is.55:8,9). ìFor who hath known the mind of YHWH, that he may
Instruct Him? But we have (ìto Learn:î
               2Tim.2:15) the Mind of Christî (1Cor.2:16). We Canít Walk the
ìStraight and Narrowî
               (Matt.7:13,14) if we are not
Taught (Rom.10:14).

                        I beseech you therefore, Brethren, by the Mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a Living
        Sacrifice, Holy, acceptable unto God, which is your Reasonable Service (2Cor.5:12,13). And be
        NOT CONFORMED to this world: but be ye Transformed by the Renewing of your Mind,
              that ye may Demonstrate (prove #1381)what is the Good, and Acceptable, and Perfect, Will of God
             (Rom. 12:1,2). That ye Put Off concerning the former Life-style (conversation #391) the Old Man,
             which is Corrupt according to the Deceitful Lusts (all fleshly desires #1939); And be Renewed in
             the Spirit of your Mind; And that ye Put On the New Man, which after (In The Image of)  God
             is Created in Righteousness and True Holiness (Eph. 4:22-24). Seeing ye have Purified your
           Souls in Obeying The Truth (2Thes.1:7,8) through The Spirit unto Unfeigned Love of the
           Brethren, see that ye Love one another with a Pure Heart Fervently: Being Born"Anew" (Not
            to "do it again Sam"), Not of Corruptible seed, but of Incorruptible, by THE WORD of God,
            Who Liveth and Abideth for ever (1Pet. 1:22-23 ). Study to show thyself Approved unto God (both to
          Gain HIS Apporval (Jhn.14:23), and to Confirm our Adoption; 2Pet.1:10), a workman that
           needeth Not to be Ashamed, Rightly Dividing (correctly Expounding, Understanding, #3718)
          THE WORDof Truth. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will Increase unto
            more Ungodliness (2Tim.2:15,16)

          Congregational Defenders of the Faith: The House of The Lord is under Attack, and as with all
         Subterfuges of warfare, the congregation is the first target for their not knowing how to Defend
               themselves, yet we were Not given Instruction under Eph.6:10-18 to pretend
The Faith is a weekend at
          
Disneyland Re.: Ps.81:13,14; Rom.2:19,20; 2Cor.2:14; 3:5; 9:13; 1Tim.1:18,19; 6:11-14; 2Tim.2:2; 4:5;
              Tit.1:9. Thus we are to
Strengthen one another in the Faith, for the times are getting Harder.

 b) A House of Healing and Deliverance.

         The Ministry of Peace and Reconciliation: ìFor HE hath made Him to be Sin for us (made flesh, the
                seating place of sin), Who knew No sin; that we might (to be of Power #1410) be made the
Righteousness
                of El Shaddai in Himî (2Cor.5:21); Thus we have
Peace with our Father. ìAnd all things are of Adonay, who
                hath
Reconciled us to HIMSELF by Yeshua the Christ, and hath given to us the Ministry of
         Reconciliation; To wit, that El Shaddai was in Christ, Reconciling the world unto HIMSELF, not
         Imputing their Trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the Word of
         Reconciliation. Now then we are Ambassadors for Christ, as though Adonay did Beseech you
                by us: we Admonish you in Christís stead, be ye
Reconciled to El Shaddaiî (2Cor.5:18-20).

                     ìThere is therefore now No Condemnation to them who are IN Christ Yeshua (The Word Made Flesh:
                Jhn.1:14), who walk
Not after the flesh, but after The Spirit. For The Law (Not an Option) of the
         Spirit of Life  in Christ Yeshua hath made us Free from the law of sin and deathî (Rom.8:1,2).
                Note does have to be made that this is Not a rationalization for sin, we are called to
Be Perfect (Matt.5:48),
                and we have been
Reconciled to Him, Not Him to us (Rom.1:18-32).

      Stewards of Grace: ìThe end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore Sober (level headed #4993), and Watch
                unto Prayer. And above all things have
Fervent Charity among yourselves: for Love shall Cover the
             Multitude of
Sins. Use hospitality one to another without grudging. As every man hath received the gift
                (Rom.12:3), even so Minister the same one to another, as
Good Stewards of the Manifold Graces
                of
Adonayî (1Pet.4:7-10).

                       Let us not Forget the word Minister means to be a Servant, and regardless of the New Age
             Worship of
Self (and other Vanities) the word Serve means to Do For Others, Not to Please
            
Oneself. ìBlessed be El Shaddai, even the Father of our Lord Yeshua The Christ, the Father of Mercies,
                and the God of all
Comfort (not of the creature variety); Who Comforteth us in all our Tribulation, that
                we may (to be of Power #1410) be able to
Comfort them which are in any Distress, by the Comfort
                wherewith we ourselves are
Comforted of El Shaddai. For as the Sufferings of Christ abound IN us,
                so our
Consolation also abounds by Christî (2Cor.1:3-5; Re.: Is.51:12; 66:13; 1Cor.4:1; 2Cor.4:9,10;
                2Cor.7:6,13).

      Ministry of Healing: while most neighboring cultures during the history of Yisrael all had relatively extensive
                medical knowledge (relative to the times) and made use of
ìPharmakeia,î we never made an extensive
            Study of medicine because even in the old days, most
Healing was done by Faith, and still done in The
         Church today (James 5:13-18; Mrk.6:12,13; 16:18; Luke 9:6).

      Ministry of Deliverance: The devil is giving everyone a hard time, and is getting more relentless as The
            Times get nearer (Rev.12:10-12), and
Deliverance is available through Faith (Acts 10:38; Matt.16:19)
                noting to be careful not to get so caught up in the gifts, as to forget the
Author (Matt.7:21-27).

      Ministry of Needs: The Fellowship of the Brethren is supposed to be a very Empathic Relationship
                wherein we are to be Attentive to each otherís
Needs (Acts 2:4-17; 4:31-37; Gal.6:10;1Cor.9:3-15;
                1Cor.16:1-3; 2Cor.8:10-16; 2Cor.9:1-15; Phil.4:15-19; Jms.2:14-17).

c) A House of Holiness.

                  ìThe Fear (Reverence) of THE LORD is the Beginning of Wisdom: a good Understanding have
            all they that
Do His Commandments: His Praise endureth for ever. Praise ye YHWH. Blessed is the
            man that  Feareth the LORD, who
Delights Greatly in His Commandments. His seed shall be mighty
            upon earth: the generation of the
Upright shall be blessed î (Ps.111:10; 112:1,2; Prov.21:30). Unfortunately we
            live  in a generation wherein: ì As it is written, There is none
Righteous, no, not one: There is none that
          
Understandeth, there is none that Seeketh Adonay (Rom.3:10,11).

                 They are all gone Out of ìThe Wayî (Jhn.14:6) they are together become Unprofitable; there is None
            that doeth good, no,
Not One. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used
         Deceit;  the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of Cursing and Bitterness: Their feet
            are  swift to
shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And ìThe Wayî of Peace have
            they Not  Known: There is
No Fear of YHWH before their Eyesî (Rom.3:10-18). However we have been
          
Instructed:  1Pet.1:15,16; Lev.11:44; Lev.19:2; 2Cor.7:1; 1Jhn.3:3; 1Thes.4:7; Tit:.2:12; 1Tim.2:2; 4:7,8;
            1Tim.6:11;  2Pet.3:11; Knowing: Matt.7:24-27; Rom.1:18; 2:8,9; Eph.1:4; 5:6; Col.3:6; 2Thes.1:7-9.

 d) A House of Righteousness.

                 The Lord Yeshua Warned us in Matt.5:20: ì For I say unto you, That except   your  Righteousness shall
            exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees (self: Is.64:6), ye shall in
No Case Enter into
            the
Kingdom of heaven.î

                  We are ìLed By The Spirit (The Word: Jhn.6:63; Eph.6:17), we are Not under The Lawî
            (Gal.5:16, 22-26); ìChrist is become of
no effect unto you, whosoever of you are (seeking to be) Justified
            by the law; ye are
fallen from Grace. For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of Righteousness
          
By  Faithî (Gal.5:4,5). ìFor we are the circumcision, who Worship El Shaddai in the Spirit (Jhn.4:20-24),
            and
Rejoice in Christ Yeshua, and have No Confidence in the fleshî (Phil.3:3); and we: ìGrow in the
           Grace, and in the
Knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Yehsua the Christ. To Him be Glory both now  and for
            ever. Amenî (2Pet.3:18); towards the
Promise (Rev.19:10).

                  For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might Live unto Adonay. I am Crucified with  Christ:
            nevertheless I live; yet not I, but
Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I  live by
        theFaith of the Son of El Shaddai, Who Loved me, and gave Himself for me. I do not Frustrate the Grace of
            Adonay: for if
Righteousness come by The  Law, then Christ is Dead in Vainî (Gal.2:19-21).  ìFor what
            the law could
not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, Adonay sending His own Son in  the likeness of
            sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: That the
Righteousness of the law  might (to be of Power
            #1410) be made
Manifest (fulfilled #4137) in us, who Walk Not after the flesh,  but after The Spirit
            (Rom.8:3,4); whereby we are able to
Walk the Talk: ìDo we then make Void the  Law through Faith?
            Adonay forbid: yea, we
Establish The Lawî (Rom.3:31; Re.: Jhn.14:15; Jhn.15:10-14; Jms.1:22; 1Jhn.5:1-5).

 e) A House of Love.

                  ìBeloved, let us Love one another: for Love is Of Adonay; and every one who Loveth is Born  of
            Adonay, and knoweth El Shaddai.
He that Loveth Not Knoweth Not Adonay (Tit.1:16); For God
         Is Love. In this was manifested the Love of Adonay toward us, because that El Shaddai sent His only
            begotten Son into the world, that we
might Live through Him. Herein is Love, not that we loved
            Adonay, but that
He Loved Us, and sent His Son to be the Propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if   YHWH
            so Loved us, we
Ought also to Love one another. No man hath seen El Shaddai at any time. If  we
          
Love one another, Adonay dwelleth in us, and His Love is Perfected in usî (1Jhn.4:7-12).

                 However, contrary to popular belief, Love is Not emotionalism (lust): ì The commandments, ìYou shall
          
not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not covetî; and any
           other
Commandment, are summed up in this word,ìLove your neighbor as yourself.îLove
           does No Wrong  to a neighbor (does not violate the Principles of Love); therefore,
Love is the
         Manifestation (fulfilling  #4137) of the lawî (Rom.13:9,10).

               Whosoever believeth that Yeshua is the Christ is Born of El Shaddai: and every one that Loveth
         Him that begat (The Father) Loveth Him also that is begotten of Him. By this we know that we
Love the children
         of El Shaddai, when we
Love Adonay, and Keep His Commandments. For this is the Love of
        Adonay, that we keep His Commandments: and His Commandments are Not Grievous (Ps.19:7-11).
        For whosoever is born of Adonay
Overcometh (rises above #3528) the world: and this is the  Victory that
        Overcometh the world, Even
Our Faith. Who is he that Overcometh the world, but he that  believeth that
        Yeshua is the Son of Adonay? This is he that came
by water and blood, even Yeshua the  Christ; not by water
        only, but by
water and blood. And this is The Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit Is Truth.
        For there are Three that bear record in heaven, the Father,
the Word (The Son: Jhn.1:14), and the Holy Spirit:
        and these Three are
United (one: KJV). And there are three that bear witness in earth, The Spirit, and the
       
water, and the blood: and these three agree in one. If we receive the  witness of men, the Witness of El
        Shaddai is Greater: for this is the Witness of El Shaddai which He  hath
Testified of His Sonî (1Jhn.5:1-9).

 f) A House of Marriage.

              ìMarriage is Honorable in all, and the bed undefiled: but Whoremongers (and other Slanderers of
        Women) and adulterers El  Shaddai will
Judgeî (Heb.13:4); and we are warned: ì Now the Spirit speaketh
        expressly, that in the
Latter Tmes some shall Depart from the Faith, giving heed to Seducing
        Spirits, and Doctrines of devils;  Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscienceseared with
        a hot iron;
Forbidding to marry (theoretical law of Fornication: the boyfriend), and commanding to abstain
        from meats which Adonay hath created to be Received with Thanksgiving of them which believe and
Know
      
The Truth(1Tim.4:1-3). The Christ is Coming to a Church ìwithout spot and without blemishî(Eph.5:26,27),
        Not to a brothel of ìAnything Goesî (Jms.4:4). Therefore in Preparation for the ìMarriage  of the
        Lambî (Rev.19:7,8), the
ìDiscipleship of Marriageî (study by this author) will be taught both from the
        standpoint   Rev.3:8_10). No matter how well accepted the
boyfriend immaturity has managed to become
        (and no  matter how ìplay seriousî they are about it), Rationalized Fornication is
Not Acceptable in
       
The   House of The Lord (Rom.1:27, 1Cor.7:1-4; 1Thes.4:3-5); and Divorce is not encouraged
        (Matt.5:28-32;  Matt.19:1-9; Mrk.10:11,12; Luke 16:17,18; 1Cor.7:10-17); It is a
Lonely world out there.

XI As The Storehouse Of El Shaddai.

        First of all it is Doubtful that the issue of Tithes (properly speaking), which is only referred to ìUnder The Law,î is even Doctrinally Sound to be Discussed in New Covenant Times (thank you Brother Gilbert) in that the word Tithes is Not Used as a matter of Doctrine in the N.T.(Acts 4:32 -> 5:5) though Offerings are alluded to in several places. However, it would seem that the ch-rch world is Lacking in Understanding in what the Intent of Tithes is.

         While we are familiar with: ìBring ye all the Tithes into the Storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and Prove Me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a Blessing, that there shall not be room enough to Receive it. And I will Rebuke the Devourer for your sakes, and he shall Not Destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hostsî (Mal.3:10,11; Re.: Ps.82:3,4; Is.1:16,17; 58:6-12; Jer.22:3; Hag.1:1-9; Zeph.2:3); there are several point which are unfortunately overlooked.

        Despite our overly materialistic programing, ìTithingî is Not a ìSlot Machine in the Sky;î and the ensuing misinterpretation of the word ìBírakahî (blessing #1293) is not a monetary (1Tim.6:5-11), but a SpiritualIssue, as further explained by: ìBlessed be the Adown and Father of our Lord Yeshua The Christ, Who hath Blessed us with all Spiritual Blessings in heavenly places in Christ î(Eph.1:3; Re.: Gen.12:2; Deut.11:13-15; Is.44:3; Ezk.34:25,26).This is not to imply that our Father in Heaven doesnít: ìSupply all our Needs according to His Riches in Glory by Christ Yeshuaî (Phil.4:19), without confusing (1Cor.14:33) want (Bubble Gum; covetousness) with NEED (the air that we breath). Illiteracy (ìnew-speak,î non-verbality, reading between the lines, etc.) Not being a science, much less a Theology. The following passage written before the afformentionned Revelation was Given, and somarily discuss' the Issue which is elabrated on in  "The Ministry of Tithes." It can nevertheless serve to understand to Proper Uses of the Resoures of The Church.

         One could however wonder why our Father in Heaven should want an earthly Storehouse, when He dwells ìon Highî (Ps.113:4,5; Is.33:5), and ìnot in temples made with handsî (Acts 7:48; 1Cor.3:16,17; 1Cor.6:18-20; 2Cor.6:16; Luke 17:21).
        The History of the Storehouse will make the issue clear. ìAnd the Levite (the priest and the minister) because he hath no part nor inheritance [private property] with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, which are within thy gates, shall come, and shall eat and be satisfied; that YHWH Adonay may bless thee in all the work of thine hand which thou doestî (Deut.14:29; Re.: Nmb.18:20-24; Deut.10:9; 16:10-14; 18:1-3; 24:19-22; Ps.94:3-12; Ezk.44:28-30).  And now, behold, I have brought the Firstfruits of the land, which Thou, O LORD, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before YHWH Adonay, and worship before YHWH Adonay: And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which the LORD thy Adonay hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you.
 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be Satisfied (filled); Then thou shalt say before YHWH Adonay, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which Thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten themî (Deut.26:10-13).
          ìHow long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. Defend the poor and fatherless: do Justice to the afflicted and needy. Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wickedî (Ps.82:2-4). ì Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go Free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to Give thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? When thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?  Then shall thy Light break forth as the morning, and thine Health shall spring forth speedily: and thy Righteousness shall go before thee; the Glory of the LORD shall be thy rearward. Then shalt thou call, and YHWH shall answer; thou shalt cry, and He shall say, Here I am. If thou remove the yoke from your midst, and the pointing of the finger, and speaking vanity; And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water (Jer.2:13; &:13; Jhn.7:38) whose waters fail notî (Is.58:6-11; Re.: Deut.24:17; Ps.10:18; Is.11:4; Jer.22:16; Jms.2:14-17).
           Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters. Has not Adonay chosen the Poor in the world to be Rich in Faith and to be Heirs of the Kingdom that He has promised to those who Love Him? But you have dishonored the poor. Is it not the rich who oppress you? Is it not they who drag you into court? Is it not they who blaspheme the excellent Name ìby Whom you are Calledî (KJV)? You do well if you really fulfill the Royal Law according to the Scripture, ìYou shall love your neighbor as yourself.î But if you show partiality, you commit sin and are convicted by the law as Transgressors. For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. For the one who said, ìYou shall not commit adultery,î also said, ìYou shall not murder.î Now if you do not commit adultery but if you murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so Do as those who are to be Judged By The Law Of Liberty. For judgment will be without Mercy to anyone who has shown No Mercy; Mercy Triumphs over Judgment. What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of you says to them, ìGo in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,î and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the Good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is Dead (Jms.2:5-17; NRSV).
         This is clearly manifest by the Holy Spirit in THE CHURCH at Pentecost (Acts ch.1-4), wherein the needs of the entire Congregation are met by the ìCooperativeî of the Church (Rom.12:3-16;  Gal.6:10; Eph.2:20-22; 4:13-16; Col.2:19), not that any should be burdened that others be eased (2Cor.8:10-12). Therefore, for as long as is possible (Rev.18:4), and not to the preempting of the ìExodusî in the works; The Church should be more actively involved in the community as an employment service, there being a Ministry Of Works (2Cor.8:21; 1Pet.2:12), it not being sound doctrine that anyone (in particular the men) be on welfare (1Thes.4:11; 2Thes.3:11-14), even if The Church has to subsidize their income (Gal.6:10).
         ìAnd YHWH spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part (private Property: Vested Interest) among them: I AM thy Part and thine Inheritance among the children of Yisrael. And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all The Tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the Tabernacle of the congregationî (Nmb.18:20,21).
         This Ministry is also of the opinion that the ìMinistry of Tithesî is an invaluable service with which the congregation supports the Ministry work. However, since the ìTenthî Tithe Offering (Gen.28:22; Lev.27:32; Heb.7:5)  is supposed to be the Sacrifice of the Firstfruits of oneís Increase (Ex.22:29; 23:19; 34:26; Lev.2:14) back to YHWH, the idea of a Write Off of the Tithes as a ìCharitable Contributionî under section 501-c-3 of the internal revenue code, though socially legal, is Not Biblically sound doctrine.
         We are Instructed: ìTell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But Yeshua perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye Me, ye hypocrites? Show Me the tribute money. And they brought unto Him a penny. And He saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto Him, Caesarís. Then saith He unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesarís; and unto El Shaddai the things that are Adonayís. When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left Him, and went their wayî (Matt.22:17-22). The idea of the Write-Off, is however a rationalization of ìrobbingî uncle Sam, and giving it to the Lord (which is  not actually ìGivingî), not of making a Sacrifice of Thanks, to which we are Called.

      ìHe hath shown thee, O man, what is Good; and what doth YHWH require of thee, but to Do Justly, and to Love Mercy, and to Walk Humbly with thy Adonay? (Mic.6:8); And as many as Walk according to this Rule, Peace be on them, and Mercy, and upon theYisrael of ADONAYî (Gal.6:16).

        O my Threshing, and the corn of my floor: that which I have heard of the LORD of hosts, the Adown of Yisrael, have I Declared unto You (Is.21:8-10). I Charge you By the Lord "Yeshua" that this Epistle be Read unto ALL the HOLY BRETHREN. The GRACE of our Lord Yeshua The Christ be With you. Amen (1Ths.5:27,28).
