Z: To the followers of Yah Shua Elohim the Messiah
Z: To the followers of Yah Shua Elohim the Messiah 03-01-2004 Yah Shua, of the people chosen by the God of Abraham. Let us never ever forget that Yah Shua was born and died a Jew in the Flesh…but was God Elohim in spirit—of the root and branch of David, prophesied for centuries before, and even this: Joh 1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. The rightful Sovereign of Israel, proven by lineage and God. Rev 19:16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. And he hath on his vesture garment and on his thigh a name written scribed, KING SOVEREIGN OF KINGS SOVEREIGNS, AND LORD ADONAY OF LORDS ADONIYM. Isa 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. How do we know Yah Shua is the Messiah? This comes from Christiananswers.net: http://christiananswers.net First of all, the word "Messiah" means "Anointed One," the name given to the promised Deliverer who would some day come to the people of Israel as their great Savior and Redeemer, "anointed" as Prophet, Priest, and King by God Himself. Some, of course, are still looking for the fulfillment of these Old Testament promises in the future, when the "Messiah" will come to establish a world kingdom of peace and justice centered around the chosen nation, Israel. On the other hand, the group of Jewish believers who became the first founders of Christianity were convinced that Jesus of Nazareth was their promised Messiah. The name "Christ" is the Greek equivalent of "Messiah," so that the name Jesus Christ really means "Jesus the Messiah," or "Jesus the anointed." They preached this truth with such conviction and power that not only many Jews but, later, a still greater host of Gentiles, believed on Jesus, both as the Christ and also as the Lord and Savior of all men. And indeed they had good reason for such faith. The Old Testament Messianic prophecies were found to be uniquely fulfilled in the Lord Jesus Christ. There are hundreds of these prophecies, so that the possibility of their accidental convergence on any ordinary man is completely ruled out by the laws of probability. Some of the prophecies are so framed, in fact, as to preclude their fulfillment by anyone living after the first century A.D. For example, the patriarch Jacob said, in Genesis 49:10, "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come." The name "Shiloh" is a title of the Messiah, and the prophecy states that Judah's tribe would remain the chief tribe in Israel, in particular providing their kings, until Messiah would come. The prophecy must have been fulfilled prior to the destruction of Judah and Jerusalem in A.D. 70, by which time certainly all semblance of a scepter had departed from Judah. Similarly the promise was given to King David that the Messiah should be one of his descendants, as the King eternal, the one of whom God said, "I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever" (II Samuel 7:13). Isaiah said, "There shall come forth a rod out of the stem (literally 'stump') of Jesse (that is David's father), and a Branch shall grow out of his roots" (Isaiah 11:1). This is another name of the Messiah, and indicates that, even after it would appear that the family tree of Jesse has been cut down, yet one Branch will grow out of the stump. Evidently the very last one who could be known to have come of this lineage would finally prove to be the promised Messiah! This was fulfilled uniquely in Jesus. His foster father, Joseph, was in the royal line from David and thus held the legal right to the throne (Matthew 1:1-16). His mother, Mary, was also a descendant of David, as shown by her genealogy in Luke 3:23-31. But ever since the time of Jesus, it would be quite impossible to establish the legal or biological lineage of any pretender to David's throne, as all the ancient genealogical records were destroyed soon after that. An even more striking prophecy is given in Daniel 9:24-27. There Daniel was told explicitly that Messiah would come 69 "sabbaths" (that is, 69 sabbatical years - a total of 483 years) after the decree was given to rebuild Jerusalem, which at that time lay in ruins after Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had destroyed it. Such a decree was given later by the Persian emperor. Although the exact date of the decree is somewhat uncertain, the termination date of the prophecy must have been some time in the first century A.D. In fact, it must have been before the destruction of the city and the temple by the Romans in A.D. 70, because the prophecy said quite explicitly: "After (the 483 years) shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself; and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary" (Daniel 9:26). Not only must Messiah come before this destruction, but He was also to be "cut off," rejected and killed, before it came. It is obvious that no one but Jesus could have fulfilled these prophecies. The prophecies absolutely preclude any still future Messiah, except that even that hope also will find its fulfillment in the second coming of Christ. And then, of course, there are still hundreds of other prophecies, all of which were fulfilled by Jesus Christ: His virgin birth (Isaiah 7:14); His birth in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2); His sacrificial death (Isaiah 53:5); His crucifixion (Psalm 22:14-18); His bodily resurrection (Psalm 16:10); and many others. All of these unite in their witness that "Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God" (John 20:31). The probability that hundreds of such specific predictions, each quite independent of the others, could all be fulfilled concurrently in one individual, is unlikely in the highest degree, especially in view of the miraculous nature of many of them (e.g., the virgin birth, the resurrection, etc.). No rational conclusion seems possible except that Jesus is all He claims - Messiah, Savior, Lord and God. * * * This is a quick help for those struggling with issues of faith—I am led to include this today because many of our readers have not tracked the truth all the way through God’s Word. Many of you know Yah Shua because he’s etched in your hearts—you were chosen from the foundation of the world…you are God’s children, his lambs. Yah Shua is not hidden from view—he does not need to be invoked… he is God Elohim—sovereign, omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. He is the Creator of the Universe. For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through Him and for Him. —Colossians 1:16 He created Heaven and Earth, and he became part of Creation to Redeem mankind to Himself—to restore all things. Hence Yah Shua is sometimes referred to as “The Last Adam.” This is marvelous news, beloved. For it means that you are no longer cursed by Satan and death. You are free, and the gift is freely given—though there is a cost in discipleship. There has been a lot of hoopla over the wildly successful movie, “The Passion,” and no shortage of commentary here on this site, as God spoke to me many weeks ago proclaiming it as an abomination. That does not mean he won’t work this for good for those who love him. I can get something good out of almost anything. The point is spiritual—an abomination unto him…not lifted up by him, but lifted up the world (Satan, father of lies). This does not mean there are not true things in it. I don’t actually have to know why God told me this—only to say that he spoke, and I prophesied, and it has all come due exactly. For I believe when God tells me things, and I believe that over my own opinion, or man’s opinion. As in all words, they must be taken on faith, for you will never be able to judge this by experiencing anything, even over and over, as many obsessed and empty seekers are doing with the movie in question, hoping for a divine spark of truth. How can truth come from a lie? Or something genuine come from what is false? I could save them the time—there will be no divine spark from this movie. Its use for Satan’s purposes was prophesied in 2 Thess 2:3. And the world will embrace it—as the world recognizes its own. Yah Shua Messiah is our Celestial King—and our Creator, one in the same as Yah Veh Elohim, or God. One in the same as the Holy Spirit—all these are Yah Shua. So when you pray to God, you pray to Yah Shua. This makes John 14:6 come much clearer into focus. We mainly pray to the Father in the name of Yah Shua…as instructed in Matthew 18:20. Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. It makes much more sense when you realize that anyone who has God, has Yah Shua—once you know of Yah Shua and the cross, of course, then you know the answer to the question of humanity. That is why it is so terribly important to get the Gospel out to the whole world. People must know what the world is—what happened in the Garden, they must comprehend the Fall…what it really means in their own lives. I have told you again and again what it means in your daily lives—the bondage, the slavery man experiences through every-day satanism and conformity comes from the Fall… many men will not accept Yah Shua because they do not believe, Matthew 13:58. Churches do not serve Yah Shua, they serve mammon, or Satan—conformity to their god is required, though this used to be held secret, as deception cannot work in the open, as it is now through God’s exposing of all things. Conformity, or satanism, is required for pretty much everything in our society. All this came from the Fall. They’ll tell you it’s not that—sure. They’ll say anything to get anybody on board. Connected to man, connected to God—it’s every man’s choice. Be accepted and welcomed, be hated and shunned for Yah Shua…every man’s choice. But no longer will there be a covering—so if you choose Satan, we will all see you, no matter how good your works are! This is God’s gift to humanity—all that was hidden is now revealed, so that many will come to the truth and out of the deception and bondage that the world trapped them in. Halalu Yah. Those who do not conform are persecuted, as Yah Shua Elohim was. Joh 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. Yah Shua is God. There is no other. The Creator entered into the Creation to save humanity. How very exciting is this story in this context now! He had to actually become in order to save! Yah Shua is the only one in man’s history—and praise God we do not wait for the Messiah…thank you, God, for coming here when you did. The reason he was rejected is because of unbelief. It’s the age old adage: Joh 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. The Word says that “the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.” They knew him not because they could not believe. Many did not want to believe. The persecution of the Son of Man is the same persecution that all men who oppose Satan receive. It’s the opposition of the current ruler of this world that brings persecution, both demonic (spiritual) and literal (from satanists eager to conform the world for their god). The majority of humans upon earth are cowards and haters of God…they want their god (the god of their bellies) to be Elohim. Such is madness and can never be. But when they are conformed to satanism, it’s much like becoming a vampire—one must then feed to sustain or fade and perish. That’s why they hunt lambs also—though few lambs remain and most are in the wilderness—so they must feed upon each other. This sad tale is completely overturned by Yah Shua God. All anyone has to do to end this nightmare of Satan’s “feed or be fed upon” is to accept Yah Shua as Savior, and give your heart to him. Walk the narrow path for the rest of your days, and though you are persecuted... Joh 16:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. This is the see-saw. When you weep and lament, the world rejoices! Yes, but your sorrow shall be turned to joy as you walk with our Sovereign Yah Shua, Lord of Lord’s, King of Kings, Celestial God. When you are persecuted for your separation, rejoice, as all true followers of Messiah shared in this before you. You are given the Holy Spirit, which overcomes and turns your sorrow to joy. When the world sees you joyous, furthermore, they break down and weep and gnash their teeth—they are filled with grief and shame, as well thought ought. This is because you are the Truth, as Jesus is the Truth. You are the embodiment of that…what you say does matter, indeed, but your presence amongst them speaks volumes of truth—and this causes all manner of systems to crash. It’s a big thing to follow the Lord! You are a revolutionary…and there are few brothers and sisters, fellow angels, amongst you or in your midst. But remember this: Mat 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. The churches are apostate—the world is satanic. Mat 16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. This does not represent the Catholic or Protestant church or any other apostate manifestation of the world system. This means the believers in Yah Shua ha Mashiyach, who follow him. Followers of the Truth, the Life and the Way. The church is the Body of Christ, and today there is but a Remnant upon the earth. Many saints have gone before and are also a part of the church, or Body of Christ, which is the Bride of Christ—all who are in the Body of Christ are sanctified, separated from the world system of Satan, currently persecuted, unlike the phony church today, and are no part of the systems of man, as they are put out, rejected, or shunned. Not shunned by Yah Shua ha Mashiyach! Not shunned by God, the Messiah, who created heaven and earth. No, not shunned, but beloved. Not shunned but exalted in spirit. Where you must go, what you must do Well, as you can see, God is calling you UP HERE WITH HIM. That means, exalted in your spirit, even as your feet are lightly upon the earth. This is the kingdom of Heaven. This is within you now. This transformation is guaranteed, so do not worry—every lover of God will be guided and changed into his true form. God is a spirit and must be worshiped in spirit and truth. Walking in the spirit is what destroys the fiery darts of the enemy. This is done through prayer and obedience. We are about to see this world destroyed in the physical manifestation. But it is already a lie in the spiritual aspect, and is but a dream anyway—a punishment, a nightmare, the consequences of Eve’s consummation with Lucifer. Those who walk in the world’s light (Lucifer) are not saved and never will be. It’s not actually possible. They delude themselves by attending church or taking of sacraments—that does nothing. Going to some movie of a false Christ does nothing, no matter how accurate it depicts the suffering of Jesus. Intellectual understanding does nothing—and cannot save. Believing in Jesus means to accept salvation, which is delverance from DEATH (the world system of Satan), separation therefore and sanctification in Christ (life)—therefore made ALIVE, where once were dead. This change is visible to all humans and demons in this situation upon the earth, which is why most persecution begins with the demonic. When you are persecuted from all sides, it usually means you’re about to do something devastating to the kingdom of Satan. Yah Shua destroys the works of Satan through the manifestation of the Holy Spirit within each belonging to Yah Shua—the Children of God, which is why the sheep are slaughtered all the day long. But as I said, most serve Satan, and very few, perhaps 1 or 2 percent, serve God. They think…look, free food! Look, free life! When it’s really death. Satan is worshiped in lies and a false spirit. Satanism is worship of death, either through self-corruption or murder. Most of these at this late date run all stations of humanity, are your teachers and rulers, kings and queens of the earth—and are sadly serving Satan even in lowly positions, afraid to rock the boat. It is so sad—the world’s solution is for you to embrace the Fall…Yah Shua offers the only tangible way out of this mess…from death to life. We would expect that in a world of death, death must be worshiped in order to advance. Of course that’s the way it is—and as soon as a person goes over, they are indwelt by the demonic…sometimes as many as thousands of demons in one vessel. For those wanting to start their worldly race early, they sell-out their children, thus destroying their souls, as they were destroyed, believing themselves to be right, or that God or we did nto see! How foolish! How utterly foolish and stupid! But there you have it. You must be BORN AGAIN, friends. Otherwise you are a slave unto death, and not life. You must get off this dying orb, or you will perish—God is no respecter of persons. Joh 14:17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. All can see a person God lives in. Those who have God know the truth—these are the true children of light, and the world is very much afraid of them. Mat 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. The Kingdom of God is a mystery—if you are in the Kingdom of God, and your light feet tarry but a while, do you still wait for the Kingdom of God? Rejoice. Given to Zeph, servant of Yah Shua |
