יהוה is ONE!
YHWH calls you to come out of Babel! (Yir 50:8; Yes 48:20)
Come out of her, My People!

Throughout the past centuries perverted ideas and traditions were established and today are anchored so firmly that it will only be removed with serious effort. The original worship of the first believers in our Messiah differed dramatically from the current "Church Systems".

Christmas for Christians (What lurks behind this popular custom?)

For most Torah-keeping Believers, this time of year is usually a time of conflict as pagan festivities commence all over the world. Some of us even have Christian friends and family partaking in these revolting traditions…


This is an open invitation to all our Christian friends, still caught in these horrendous pagan traditions. Please rethink… are these festivities really appealing to our Heavenly Father? Do you realy honour Him by celibrating Christmas? Do you know the history behind Christmas, or do you follow tradition blindly?


Let’s take a look at what the Scriptures say:


The command to celebrate the birthday of the Messiah is nowhere to be found in the Scriptures neither is the specific date of His birth made known. Although the date can be calculated, it is NOT on the 25th of December, but was around the 11th of September or during the Biblical holiday of Sukkot. On the other hand, our Heavenly Father, commands us NOT to observe the ways of the heathen, nor to worship Him the same way as they worship their gods.


Jer 10:1 Hear the word which יהוה speaks to you, O house of Yisra’ĕl.
Jer 10:2 Thus said יהוה, “Do not learn the way of the gentiles,1 and do not be awed by the signs of the heavens, for the gentiles are awed by them.2 Footnotes: 1Lev. 18:3, Dt. 12:30 & 18:9, Ezek. 11:12 & 20:32, Eph. 4:17, 1 Peter 4:3. 2Dt. 4:19 & 17:3.
Jer 10:3 “For the prescribed customs of these peoples are worthless, for one cuts a tree from the forest, work for the hands of a craftsman with a cutting tool.
Jer 10:4 “They adorn it with silver and gold, they fasten it with nails and hammers so that it does not topple.
Jer 10:5 “They are like a rounded post, and they do not speak. They have to be carried, because they do not walk. Do not be afraid of them, for they do no evil, nor is it in them to do any good.”


Deu 12:29 “When יהוה your Elohim does cut off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land,
Deu 12:30 guard yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire about their mighty ones, saying, ‘How did these nations serve their mighty ones? And let me do so too.’1 Footnote: 1See also 18:9, Lev. 18:3, Jer.10:2, Ezek. 11:12 & 20:32, Eph. 4:17, and 1 Peter 4:3
Deu 12:31 “Do not do so to יהוה your Elohim, for every abomination which יהוה hates they have done to their mighty ones, for they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their mighty ones.
Deu 12:32 “All the words I am commanding you, guard to do it – do not add to it nor take away from it.1 Footnote: 1See also 4:2, Prov. 30:6, Rev. 22:18-19.


…..You shall not worship your Heavenly Father (YHWH) in that way!!!!


Did you get this? Let me paraphrase what YHWH is saying: "Don't learn to worship ME the same way that the heathen nations worship their gods and then say that you are doing it for ME----it is an abomination!"


To those who would say: "We can take back the pagan holidays for Jesus (Y’shua)" or to those who would say "Let's put Christ back in Christmas..." He does not have any affiliation to Christmas and he never did. There is a very sinister reason behind why December 25th was chosen as the alleged birthday of our Messiah. The Papacy in 538 A.D. made Christmas official Roman Catholic Doctrine for no other reason than to have political correctness with the pagans.


Trying to put our beloved Messiah into "Christmas" is like erecting a life size statue of your ex-lover's private parts right in front of your spouse at the foot of your marriage bed and then saying "honey look what I made for you...."


YHWH hates the fact that his backsliding whoring wife Israel went after her Ba'als and today he sees the Christian Church doing the identical thing and He wants these reminders out of His face!


Isaiah 57:8
8 You have put pagan symbols
on your doorposts and behind your doors.
You have left me
and climbed into bed with these detestable gods.
You have committed yourselves to them.
You love to look at their naked bodies

The Name Debate...

Yahweh, Yahwah, Yahawah, Yahovah, Yaheveh, Yehaweh, Yehowah, Yehowih, Yehwih, Yahuweh, Yahueh, Yahuah, Jahveh, Iabe, Iahueh, Iehouah and Jehovah

What is His Sacred Name or True Name?

YHWH

Yahweh is His Name!

The other forms of His Name has been a gross mistranslation.
Some of the videos in this blog shows examples
of the Name misunderstood and mistranslated
by other Messianic groups. Do not be deceived and profound His Name.
Though there's educational value in these videos, please keep in mind
that YHWH = Yahweh

The proper personal Hebrew way to express The Fathers name is not "God
or LORD", but rather Yahweh even though translated as Jehovah or Yahuah, however you should refrain from using Jehovah or Yahuah. The word "God" should be pronounced as "Elohim", which is pronounced Eloheem, or as 'El. The personal Four-Letter Name of our Elohim is represented by the letters YHWH in Hebrew. Therefore the letters are correctly pronounced "Yod Hey Waw Hey".
