is for you too!
Scripture speaks of a secret place where we can simply go, be alone, be
protected, pray,
and hear from
ב YâHuWsHúa.
Knowing there is such a place is a matter of faith. Going back time and
again, that's a matter of building a relationship. You need not have an
advanced degree in any subject, need not have memorized Scripture
from beginning to end, but instead
be aware the
Of Y’Ishra’al
Has a place for each Jew and Gentile who will open their minds and
hearts to Him.
Mt 6:5-8
When you pray, you shall not be as the role-fakers, for they love to
stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets,
that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have
received their reward. But you, when you pray, enter into your inner
chamber, and having shut your door, pray to your Father Who is in
secret, and your Father Who sees in secret shall reward you openly. In
praying, don’t use vain repetitions, as the Gentiles do; for they think
that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Therefore don’t be
like them, don't you see that your Father knows what things you need
before you ask Him.
The truth in reality is visited in this secret place AND must be shared
by those who will live or else ... they will perish ... in darkness.
It is written
Lu 11:33
“No one, when he has lit a Lamp, puts it in a cellar or under a basket,
but on a stand, that those who come in may see the Light.
Tehillim. 119:105
Your Word is a Lamp to my feet, and a Light (aur) for my path.
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your whole
body is also full of Light; but when it is evil, your body also is full of
darkness. Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t darkness.
If therefore your whole body is full of Light, having no part dark, it
shall be wholly full of Light, as when the Lamp with its bright shining
gives you Light.”

With this in mind, heart soul and strength let us study together in the
Raukh
And now brothers and sisters
Come out of the secret place bearing light!
Who see it from afar? The Secret Place, here, shines a bit of light so
many can see from afar. The topics we have chosen are addressed to
Jew and Gentile together. We do this because that is what the Bible
does. This opens the window to make more sense of what Scripture
tells us!
In the secret place is plain language, something simple to read. This is a
mere starting place for deeper consideration.

Dan_7:25
And it shall speak words opposing the Most High, and it will wear
down the pure ones of the Most High Ones, and it will try to change set
times (Festivals) and Law, (Lawlessness) and they shall be granted into
its hand for a time and times and half of a time.
And then I will profess to them,
‘Never did I acknowledge you: even if you are on My lap and do not do
the will of My Father Who is in heaven, out of My lap will I cast you
away! Depart from Me, all ye workers of Lawlessness!’
So that in them is fulfilled the prediction of Yshá`Yâhuw, which says:
“You shall surely hear, but you shall not understand; and you shall
surely see, but you shall not perceive! For the heart of this people has
grown thick, and they do hardly hear with the ears, and they have shut
their eyes, lest they should see with their eyes, and with their ears
they should hear, and their heart should understand, and they should
return to Me and I should cure them.
The Hebrew Bible is fully aware of that. Deuteronomy declares the
worship of sun, moon,
and stars as allotted by

Duet 4:19
"or lest you lift up your eyes to the heavens and see the sun, the

But none of them is to be identified specifically with

But Hashem hath taken you, and brought you forth
Out of the iron furnace, even out of Mitzrayim, to be unto Him an Am

"But
has selected you, and brought you out from the crucible of iron--from Egypt--to become His own--for the purpose of being a people [that are His own] prized
possession, just as [is the case] today."
Any wood placed into a furnace for smelting iron would be consumed
immediately. Egypt completely used them up, while feeding them—like
pack animals. Even the products forged of iron there—chariots—were
used to kill them. Now they were going to a place that would serve
them rather than consuming them. Nothing in the Tabernacle was
made of iron;

throw away such a rare privilege and settle for something that the
nations all stoop to--nations that He considered a mere drop in the

YahuwDah had appointed to burn incense on the high places in the
cities of YahuwDah and in the places all around Yerushalayim, and those
who burned incense to Baʽal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the
constellations, and to all the host of the heavens
Melachim Bais 23:11
And he took away the susim that the Melachim of YahuwDah had

and all the tz'va haShomayim, whom they have loved, and whom they

up, nor be buried in a kever; they shall be like domen upon the surface

Yirmeyah 8:2 ;( modern version)
And shall spread them before the sun and the moon and all the host of

And when Tertúllus had been called, he began to make an accusation,

successful reforms being done for this people through your

References to peaceful rule, reforms, and the governor’s foresight in
the opening address by Tertúllus represent an attempt to praise the
governor and thus make him favorable to the case.

Felix the governor was Antonius Felix, a freedman of Antonia, brother
of the Emperor Claudius. He was the brother of Pallas and became
procurator of Palestine in a.d. 52/53. His administration was notorious
for its corruption, cynicism, and cruelty. According to the historian
Tacitus (History 5.9) Felix “reveled in cruelty and lust, and wielded the
power of a king with the mind of a slave.”

Tertúllus’ basic argument was that Paulus was a major disturber of the
public peace. To ignore this the governor would be shunning his duty to
preserve the peace and going against the pattern of his rule. In effect,
Tertúllus claimed that Paulus was seditious (a claim the governor could
not afford to ignore). For having found one who causes all sorts of
trouble creating dissension among certain people causing uprising, riot,

translation has “teaching”; a word too mild for the context. With so
much ample evidence for our persuasion being called The Way of
YHWH (Dérekh YHWH) since

command his sons and his household to follow him and keep the way
of YHWH, to carry out righteousness and justice, in order that
YHWH may bring upon Avraham that which He has spoken in regard to
him."
The reason YHWH could see that he was trustworthy was the
influence he had in making his servants willing to go through the painful
procedure of circumcision without revolting against him. YHWH could
only bring all His promises to pass for Avraham if he destroyed these
cities. Command: as a general. He had taught his whole household to
use the right hand of mercy (through his hospitality especially) as well
as the left hand of judgment.

of the Në´tsríym,
a short course on History (begin Quotes)
The Gospel according to the Hebrews was a Gospel which was once used
by the Nazarenes (and Ebionites).
The Nazarenes were the original Jewish followers of YaHuWsHua
HaMeshiakh The “church father” Jerome (4th Cent.) described these
Nazarenes as those “…who accept he meshiakh in such a way that they
do not cease to observe the old Law.”
(Jerome; On. Is. 8:14).
Elsewhere he writes:
Today there still exists among the Jews in all the synagogues of the
East a heresy which is called that of the Minæans , ((1) “Minæans”
apparently Latinized from Hebrew MINIM (singular is MIN) a word
which in modern Hebrew means “apostates” but was originally an
acronym for a Hebrew phrase meaning “Believers in YaHuWsHua the
Nätzräya”.)and which is still condemned by the Pharisees; [its
followers] are ordinarily called ‘Nazarenes’; they believe that
Meshiakh, the son of YHWH, was born of the Virgin Miriam, and they
hold him to be the one who suffered under Pontius Pilate and ascended
to heaven, and in whom we also believe.”
(Jerome; Letter 75 Jerome to Augustine)
The fourth century “church father” Epiphanius gives a more detailed
description:
But these sectarians… did not call themselves Christians–but
“Nazarenes,” … However they are simply complete Jews. They use not
only the New Covenant (N.T) but the Old Covenant (O.T as well, as the
Jews do… They have no different ideas, but confess everything exactly
as the Law proclaims it and in the Jewish fashion– except for their
belief in the Meshiakh, if you please! For they acknowledge both the
resurrection of the dead and the divine creation of all things, and
declare that YHWH is one, and that his son is YaHuWsHua
HaMeshiakh. They are trained to a nicety in Hebrew. For among them
the entire Law, the Prophets, and the… Writings… are read in Hebrew,
as they surely are by the Jews. They are different from the Jews,
and different from Christians, only in the following. They disagree
with Jews because they have come to faith in the Meshiakh; but since
they are still fettered by the Law–circumcision, the Sabbath, and the
rest– they are not in accord with Christians…. they are nothing but
Jews…. They have the Good news according to Mattiyahu in its entirety
in Hebrew. For it is clear that they still preserve this, in the Hebrew
alphabet, as it was originally written.
(Epiphanius; Panarion 29)
Now concerning the Gospel according to the Hebrews, the so-called
“Church Fathers” write:
“And among them [doubted books] some have placed
the Gospel according to the Hebrews which is
the especial delight of those of the Hebrews
who have accepted Meshiakh.”
(Eusebius; Eccl. Hist. 3:25:5)
And as Jerome frequently mentions:
In the Gospel according to the Hebrews,
which is written in the Chaldee and Syrian language,
but in Hebrew letters, and is used by the Nazarenes
to this day…
(Jerome; Against Pelagius 3:2)
And in the Gospel according to the Hebrews,
which the Nazarenes are accustomed to read,…
(Jerome; Commentary on Ezek. 18:7)
The actual document has been lost to history, but about fifty
quotations and citations of this document are preserved in quotations
and citations from the so-called “Church Fathers” and other
commentators even into the middle ages.
The so-called “Church Father” Jerome cites the relevant passage from
the Gospel according to the Hebrews, saying:
Also the gospel called according to the Hebrews, recently translated
by me into Greek and Latin, which Origen often uses, says after the
resurrection of the Savior:
Now the Lord, when he had given the cloth to the servant of the
priest, went to Ya’akov and appeared to him.
(for James had sworn that he would not eat bread from that hour in
which he had drank the Lord’s cup until he should see him risen from
among them that sleep). A little further on the Lord says, “Bring a
table and bread.” And immediately it is added, He took bread and
blessed and broke and gave it to Ya’akov HaTzadik and said to him, My
brother, eat your bread, for the Son of Man is risen from among them
that sleep.”
(Jerome; On Illustrious Men, 2)
In his 1937 book According to the Hebrews, Hugh Schonfield
concludes:
The Gospel according to the Hebrews is a literary outlaw with a price
on its head; but in spite of the scholarly hue and cry it still evades
capture. Neither monastic libraries nor Egyptian rubbish heaps have so
far yielded up a single leaf of this important document....
For behind Hebrews lies the unknown potentialities of the Nazarene
tradition, which may confirm or contradict some of the most cherished
beliefs of Orthodox Christianity. It is useless for certain theologians
to designate Hebrews as "secondary" on the evidence of the present
fragmentary remains preserved in quotation. ...
Judged by ancient testimony alone it is indisputable that Hebrews has
the best right of any Gospel to be considered a genuine apostolic
production;...
Here is obviously a most valuable witness, perhaps the most valuable
witness to the truth about [YaHuWsHua ]... whom even a jury composed
entirely of orthodox Christians could not despise, and who ought to be
brought into court. But the witness is missing, and all that we have is a
few reported statements of his taken long ago...
...it may be argued that there has been dependence not of 'Hebrews'
on the Synoptics but vice versa-- that 'Hebrews' was one of the
sources on which one or more of them drew. (According to the
Hebrews; 1937; Hugh J. Schonfield; pp. 13-18)
And near the end of the book he concludes:
It is a great temptation to conclude an investigation of this kind with
an attempted reconstruction of Hebrews. We believe that ere long it
will be possible for such an attempt to be made on the lines of the
connections and associations which have been set out in the foregoing
pages. It is even now possible to restore conjecturally considerable
passages from the indications which we have discovered of their
contents.
(According to the Hebrews; 1937; Hugh J. Schonfield; p. 268)
It has been more than seventy five years since Schonfield wrote these
words, and the time has now come that the long lost Gospel according
to the Hebrews can be reconstructed and published to the world.
Although the book has only survived through about fifty quotations in
the so-called “Church Fathers, a reconstruction of the Gospel
according to the Hebrews in English drawn from all of the available
documents,

Felix had been governor for six years and would have known about the
Nätzräti ("the Way"), a topic of conversation among the Roman

And after a few days, when Félix had made an appearance with Drúsilla
his wife (who was a Yâhuwthíy Th), he sent for Páulus and listened to
him about the persuasion on the Deliverer YâHuWsHúa `.
“But after certain days, Felix came, &c.. Felix did not always reside in
Cæsarea. After the first hearing of Paulus cause he had gone away for
a time, but on his return he sent for the Talmidim to question him on
his doctrine. Perhaps those words about the resurrection of the just
and the unjust had made him uneasy. with his wife Drusilla, which was a
Jewess] She was a daughter of Herod Agrippa I. and so sister of
Agrippa II. and of Bernice. She had formerly been married to Azizus,
King of Emesa, but had been induced by Felix to leave her husband, and
become his wife. Though she had been only six years of age when her
father died she may have heard of the death of Ya’aqóv the brother of
Yâhuwchânâ´n and the marvelous delivery of kepha from prison. For
such matters would be talked of long after they had happened, and
perhaps her father’s sudden death may have been ascribed by some to
YHWH’s vengeance for what he had done against the Nätzräya. Her
marriage with the Gentile Felix shewed that she was by no means a
strict Jewess, and what she had heard of Jewish opposition to Paulus
teaching may have made her, as well as her husband, desirous to hear
him. The Talmidim was lodged in some part of the procurator’s official
residence and so was close at hand. and heard him concerning the faith
in YaHuWsHua]. What Paulus would urge was not only a belief in the
Meshiakh, for whose coming all Jews were looking, but a belief that
YaHuWsHua of Nazareth was the Meshiakh whom they had so long
expected.

And as he explained about justification (righteousness) and continence,
and of the Judgment about to happen, becoming terrified, Félix
responded:
Paulus talk with Felix became so personal that Felix grew frightened.

Paulus words were interesting until they focused on "righteousness and
self-control and the coming day of judgment." Many people will be glad
to discuss the Good News with you as long as it doesn't touch their
lives too personally. When it does, some will resist or run. But this is
what the Good News is all about—YHWH's power to change lives. The
Good News is not effective until it moves from principles and doctrine
into a life-changing dynamic. When someone resists or runs from your
witness, you have undoubtedly succeeded in making the Good News
personal.
“Hold it for now; go, and when I have gotten an opportunity, I will
summon you.”
Deeds 24:26.
For he was also simultaneously hoping that a bribe of riches will be
given to him by Páulus that he might loose him, which is why he also was
frequently sending for him to come talk with him.
Acts 24:26 (NET Notes)
“he was hoping that money would be given to him by Paulus’s.” To
simplify the translation, the passive construction has been converted
to an active one. That is, would offer him a bribe in exchange for his
release. Such practices were fairly common among Roman officials of
the period
Deeds 24:27.
But after two years were concluded, a successor received his position,
Pórkius Féstus, and Félix, wishing to gain favor with the “Yehuwthím”,
left Páulus behind, imprisoned.
The Jews were in the majority, and the Roman political leaders wanted
to defer to them to help keep the peace. Paulus seemed to incite
problems among the Jews everywhere he went. By keeping him in
prison, Felix left office on good terms with the Jews. Felix lost his job
as governor and was called back to Rome. Porcius Festus took over as
governor in late 59 or early 60. He was more just than Felix, who had
kept Paulus in prison for two years, in hopes that perhaps Paulus would
bribe him and that, by detaining Paulus, the Jews would be kept happy.
When Festus came into office, he immediately ordered Paulus's trial to
resume.
Though YHWH had promised that Paulus would preach the gospel in
Rome , the great apostle had to endure more than two years of Felix's
refusal to decide his fate. In addition to this custody, Paulus was
subjected to other long stretches of time during which he could do
little but trust YHWH and wait for him to act.
YaHuWsHua said
“I am The Way, and The Truth, and The Life.
The "I AM", The "I, I", The "I AM HE", The "Aleph wTaw - The
Beginning and the End - The First and the Last"; "He Who Is, Who
Was, and Who Is coming". The Shaddai Al, Wonderful, Counselor,
The Mighty Al, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Shalom, The
Savior, The Deliverer, Our Righteousness". YHWH is ALL in ALL and
as He says: "There is no other Aluahiym besides ME, a righteous Al
and a Meshiakh (Savior/Deliverer) [Al-Tzadik, u Mâshíyach/a just Al
and a Mâshíyach]; take ME away, and there is nothing!"
Yâhuwchânâ´n 14:6-7
YâHuWsHúa ` says to him:
“I am The Way, and The Truth, and The Life. No one comes towards
the Father, if not through Me. If ye have acknowledged Me, ye have
also acknowledged My Father; yet from now on ye do acknowledge
Him, and ye do discern Him.”
1Tim 2:1-8
Therefore I implore, foremost of all, that supplications, prayers,
intercessions, and thanksgivings to be made for all sons of
’Âthâ´m: For kings, and all that are in prominence in order that
we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all reverence of YHWHand
venerableness, For this is a virtue, and acceptable in the sight of
our Deliverer, YHWH Who wishes all sons of ’Âthâ´m to be
delivered and to come to the acknowledgement of the Truth.
and One is a Mediator of the mighty One and the sons of ’Âthâ´m:
the Anointed Son of ’Âthâ´m,
Who gave His Self a ransom for all: the testimony for His own times to
come, Unto which I was appointed a herald and delegate — I speak the
Truth; I do not lie — to be an instructor of the heathen masses in the
persuasion of the Truth. Therefore, I wish the men in every place to
pray, raising up hands purely, without wrath or debating.
Are a servant of Aluahiym and an emissary of YâHuWsHúa
HaMeshiakh, according to the belief of Aluahiym chosen ones and
knowledge of the truth according to reverence?
Blessed is he whose transgression are forgiven,
For day and night his hand was heavy upon you and your sap was turned
into the droughts of summer, until you acknowledged your sins to
him, and your crookedness you did not hide.
You confess your transgressions to Yâ-hwuah
And he will forgive the crookedness of your sin.
Therefore,
let every kind one pray to him While he might be found;
Even in a flood of great waters they would not reach him. He is your
sanctuary a hiding place; He will preserve you from distress; He will
surround you with songs of deliverance. .
Let Him instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;
Let Him counsel; Let his eye be on you.
Do not be like the horse, like the mule, with no understanding, with bit
and bridle, Else they do not come near you.” Many are the sorrows of
the wrong; But as for the one trusting in YHWH Kindness surrounds
him.
Be glad in YHWH and exult,
you righteous;
And shout for joy, all you upright in heart!
Yshá`Yâhuw 30:21.
And your ears, they shall hear a voice from behind you saying,
“This is the Way: walk in Him”,
Whether you turn right or whether you turn left.
From behind: the direction from which a teacher goads one on. The
way: the earliest disciples' name for the manner of "walking out the
Torah" as taught by YâHuWsHúa.
`Ivríym 9: 22
“Here is the blood of the covenant that YHWH has cut with you over
all these words:” And in like manner, he also sprinkled the tabernacle
and all the vessels of the ministration with blood, because almost all
things, according to the Law, are purified by blood; and without
shedding blood, there is no liberation! Therefore it is indeed necessary
by this blood shedding for those models of the things within the
heavens to be purified, but the ones over the heavens themselves are
purified with better offerings than these.
’Epheçíym 1: 7
By Whom we possess the full ransoming through His blood: the release
from offenses, according to the riches of His favor –
Who is the Image
“Tmunáth”
Numbers 12: 8
"With him I speak directly, and plainly, not in [enigmatic] proverbs, and
he will behold the image of YHWH Why were you not afraid to speak
against my bondservant Moshe?" of the unseen mighty One,
Qowloçíym 1:16.
Because all things were created by Him, the things in the heavens, and
the things upon the earth, the seen and the unseen - whether thrones,
or sovereignties, or chiefdoms, or authorities: all things have been
created through Him and for Him.
Qowloçíym 1:17.
Yet He is prior to all, and all things by Him are constituted.
Qowloçíym 1:18.
And He is the Head of the body of the Convocation, Who is the First,
and the Firstborn from among the dead, in order that He might be
among all things foremost.

"YâHuWsHúa ` said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No
one comes to the Father except through Me. "My thoughts are not
your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways,' ‘For as the heavens are
higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, And My
thoughts than your thoughts." "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is
the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are
many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the
way which leads to life, and there are few who find it
"Blessed is everyone who fears the YâHuWsHúa `, who walks in His
ways
But whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and
sinful generation, of him the Son of Man also will be ashamed when He
comes in the glory of His Father "Come to Me, all you who labor and are
heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn
from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for
your souls
"You meet him who rejoices and does righteousness, who remembers
You in Your ways" But when a righteous man turns away from his
righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the
abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the
righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of
the unfaithfulness of which he is guilty and the sin which he has
committed, because of them he shall die.
is it not My way which is fair, and your ways which are not fair? When
a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity,
and dies in it, it is because of the iniquity which he has done that he
dies. Again, when a wicked man turns away from the wickedness which
he committed, and does what is lawful and right, he preserves himself
alive. Because he considers and turns away from all the transgressions
which he committed, he shall surely live; he shall not die. Yet the
house of Y’Ishra’al says, ‘The way of the YâHuWsHúa ` is not fair.’ O
house of Y’Ishra’al, is it not My ways which are fair, and your ways
which are not fair? Therefore I will judge you, O house o f Y’Ishra’al,
everyone according to his ways,' says the YâHuWsHúa `
Ychezqa’l [Aluahiym strengthens] 18:24
But when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and
commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the
wicked man does, shall he live? None of his righteous deeds that he has
done shall be remembered: in his trespass that he has trespassed, and
in his sin that he has sinned, in them shall he die.
Mattiyahu. 7:21
Not everyone who says to Me, ‘My Master, My Master,’ shall enter into
the Reign of YHWH but he who does the will of My Father Who is in
the heavens.
Mattiyahu.7:22
Many shall tell Me in that Day, ‘My Master, My Master, didn’t we
prophesy in Your Name, in Your Name cast out demons, and in Your
Name do many mighty works?’
Mattiyahu.7:23
Then I shall tell them, ‘Never did I acknowledge you:
Mattiyahu.10:43
Even if you are on My lap and do not do the will of My Father Who is in
heaven, out of My lap will I cast you away!
Ychezqa’l [Aluahiym strengthens] 18:25
Yet you say, The way of the Master is not equal. Hear now, House of
Y’Ishra’al: Is My way not equal? Aren’t your ways unequal?
Ychezqa’l [Aluahiym strengthens] 18:26
When the righteous man turns away from his righteousness, and
commits iniquity, and dies therein; in his iniquity that he has done shall
he die.

Again, when the wicked man turns away from his wickedness that he
has committed, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall save
his being alive.
Ychezqa’l [Aluahiym strengthens] 18:28
Because he considers, and turns away from all the stepping-across-the-
line that he has done, he shall surely live, he shall not die.

Yet says the House of Y’Ishra’al, The way of the Master is not level.
House of Ysra'al, are not My ways level?
Fair: even, equally weighted, adjusted to the standard. This attitude is
a real temptation to those of us who are used to democracy. Yet He
has just shown how “fair” He is, to use such human terminology.
Ychezqa’l [Aluahiym strengthens] 18:30
Therefore I will judge each of you, House of Y’Ishra’al, everyone
according to his ways, says the Master YHWH. Return, and turn
yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your
ruin.
Each of you: while still in exile, there is no blanket acceptance or
rejection of His people as a whole. But His intent is for us to function
as a united whole.
"And what does the YâHuWsHúa ` require of you but to do justly, to
love mercy, and to walk humbly with your Yâ-hwuah? But My people
would not heed My voice, and Y’Ishra’al would have none of Me
. So I gave them over to their own stubborn heart, to walk in their own
counsels. Oh, that My people would listen to Me, that Y’Ishra’al would
walk in My ways! I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn My hand
against their adversaries."
"'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in
weakness.' Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities,
that the power of YâHuWsHúa may rest upon me. Therefore I take
pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in
distresses, for YâHuWsHúa ’’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am
strong."
Distinguishing the Raukh’s of YHWH from the Lie
1Yâhuwchânâ´n 4:1
Beloved, do not believe every Raukh; instead scrutinize the
Raukh’s whether they are from YHWH because many predicators
of the Lie have gone out into the world.
1. Yâhuwchânâ´n 4:2.
By this, ye recognize the Raukh of Yâ-hwuah: every Raukh which
professes that YâHuWsHúa ` is the Anointed One Who has come
in flesh, is from YHWH
1. Yâhuwchânâ´n 4:3.
But every Raukh (Spirit) that does not profess YâHuWsHúa ` is not
from YHWH— and this is that Raukh (Spirit) of the anointed falsifier,
which ye have heard that it shall come, and now it is already within the
world,
[Contrast Yâhuwchânâ´n’s Glad Tidings 14: 26]
But the Advocate, the Raukh (Spirit) of the Pure One that the Father
will send by My name, that One will teach you all things, and will bring
to your remembrance all things which I said to you.
This Raukh (Spirit) by the description given is the Raukh (Spirit) of
YâHuWsHúa `, the One He committed into His Father’s hands when He
died. As He is the Head of the body, this Raukh (Spirit) has access to
all members of His body, the convocation which professes His name,
YâHuWsHúa `. As it is a Human’s Raukh (Spirit), it is our Advocate,
yet it still is part of the Father, Who is the Father of all Raukh
(Spirit)s and provider of Life.
1. Yâhuwchânâ´n 4:4.
But ye are from YHWH little children, and ye have overcome them,
because greater is He Who is in you than he who is within the world!
1. Yâhuwchânâ´n 4:5.
They Ruakh’s (Spirits) are from the world; due to this, they talk from
the world, and the world hears them.
1. Yâhuwchânâ´n 4:6.
We are from YHWH the one acknowledging YHWH hears us, but he
that is not from YHWH does not hear us. From these things we
recognize the Raukh (Spirit) of the Truth and the Raukh (Spirit) of the
fraud!
2 Qorinthíym 13:5
Test ye yourselves if ye are within the persuasion: prove your selves!
Or don’t ye acknowledge yourselves that YâHuWsHúa ` is the Anointed
One within you?
If not, ye are rejected!
Instead therefore of your sitting in judgment, and passing unrighteous
censures upon us, as though there were no proof of YâHuWsHúa ’’s
speaking in me,
2 Qorinthíym 13:3.
Since ye seek a proof of the Anointed speaking within me, who is not
weak among you, rather is forceful within you,
The power of his word must be at work in our hearts that enables us to
touch the hearts and lives of the people.
[Know that] he is not weak toward you but strong within you.
Or in my dear associates, look into your own hearts and ways, and bring
them to the touchstone of the word of YHWH; and, in carefully
comparing them with that infallible standard, make close inquiry
whether ye yourselves have believed to the saving of your souls, and
have a real and evident interest in “YâHuWsHúa ,” through faith in
him: pursue the diligent search, by divine assistance, till you have
brought this important point to an issue, and have the clearest proof in
yourselves, whether you be sincere believers, and whether faith be the
governing principle in your own hearts, or not: What! are ye strangers
to the transactions that have passed between YHWH and your own
souls, and to your own state and condition, way and walk before him, as
some of you seem to be, by your contentions and disorders, and various
provocations, and by your unworthy treatment of me, and of the gospel
of YâHuWsHúa , as delivered in my ministry? It is a sin and a shame
for you to be ignorant how things are with you: and, do not you know
that YâHuWsHúa, the only Saviour, dwells in your hearts by faith, with
powerful influence and dominion there? You surely, in the light of the
Raukh (Spirit), may arrive at some satisfaction about this; unless, after
all your high pretenses, and flourishing gifts, there be something very
disallowable
(ει μη τι αδοκιμοι εστε )
and much amiss in you; or you be really disapproved of YHWH, as
hypocrites." Prove your own selves,
Romans 8:9.
But ye are not in the flesh, rather in the Raukh (Spirit), if indeed a
Raukh (Spirit) of YHWH dwells in you
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 4: 1-2
But if anyone does not hold the Raukh (Spirit) of the Anointed, this
one is not His.
Romans 8:10.
Yet if the Anointed is held in you, the body indeed is held dead on
account of sin, but the Raukh (Spirit) holds life through rectification!(
righteousness)
“Many sincere people are yet spiritually under Yâhuwchânâ´n the
Immerser ministry of repentance. Their state is practically that of the
struggle of Romans Seven, where neither YâHuWsHúa ,” nor the Raukh
HaQodesh is mentioned, but only a quickened but undelivered soul in
struggle under a sense of ‘duty,’ not a sense of full acceptance in
YâHuWsHúa and sealing by the Raukh HaQodesh.
Romans 8:11.
So if the Raukh (Spirit )of the raised-up YâHuWsHúa ` from among
the dead dwells in you, He Who raised up the Anointed from among the
dead will make also your mortal bodies to live through the indwelling
Raukh (Spirit) of His in you.
How do you know you are being led by the Raukh HaQodesh
Tehillim. 119:105
Your Word is a Lamp to my feet, and a Light (aur) for my path.
The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore when your eye is good, your
whole body is also full of Light; but when it is evil, your body also is full
of darkness. Therefore see whether the light that is in you isn’t
darkness. If therefore your whole body is full of Light, having no part
dark, it shall be wholly full of Light, as when the Lamp with its bright
shining gives you Light.”
Has the Raukh led you to YHWH?
· Has the Raukh put in you the desire to honor Yâ-hwuah?
· Is the Raukh leading you to WALK more in “THE WAY” of
YâHuWsHúa `
· Is the Raukh at work in your heart?
Are you keeping the Sabbath?
Romans 8:12.
So then, my brothers, debtors we are, but not to the flesh to walk by
the flesh,
Romans 8:13.
For if ye live in the flesh, ye are about to die.
But if by the Raukh (Spirit) ye put to death the practices of the body,
ye will live!
Gal. 2:20,
So I have been hanged on a gallows-tree with the Anointed – now I live
no longer, but the Anointed lives within me! And now that [life] which I
live in flesh, I live in persuasion: that of the Son of the mighty One,
Who affectionately loved me and gave His Self over for me!
“For I through the law died to the law that I might live to YHWH I
have been crucified with YâHuWsHúa `; it is no longer I who live, but
YâHuWsHúa lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live
by faith in the Son of YHWH, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Romans 6:23.
For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of the Mighty One is
endless life in the Anointed YâHuWsHúa, our Sovereign.
Romans 6:13.
Neither be yielding your members as instruments to sin. Instead yield
your selves to YHWH as ones alive from the dead, and yield your
members as instruments of righteousness to Yâ-hwuah.
Notice that it isn’t the law that is dead. The law reflects, in its
context, the Sacred heart and character of YHWH There was nothing
wrong with the law. It isn’t the law that died, but Paul died to the law.
WALK in the LIGHT of the TORAH
We speak of a spiritual law governing a spiritual heart unto a spiritual
YHWH, our flesh and blood cannot hope to keep his law, and hence we
are all condemned in our sins, who will rescue me from this sinful body,
not just me but all have fallen short of the glory of YHWH His law is
not done away with,
Eph. 3:17,
The Anointed will dwell in your hearts through the persuasion, being
rooted and founded in affectionate love ,
There is an inner man just as real as our physical body. We all
understand the importance of strength in our physical body, but many
are exceedingly weak in the inner man.
Do we so easily forget YâHuWsHúa `promise
YâHuWsHúa ` responded and said to him: He who affectionately loves
Me will keep My Word [YâHuWsHúa `], and My Father will love him,
and We will come to him and will make Our place to live with him.
The glory of the indwelling YâHuWsHúa ` is something for us to know,
and to know by faith. It is there for us, but must be taken hold of
through faith. “You have your Scripture, and you have your knees; use
them.
Col. 1:27,
To whom YHWH did wish to make known this secret of what the
abundance of the praise is among the heathen masses, which is the
Anointed YâHuWsHúa ` (YHWH is deliverance/wealth) being within
you, the hope of your praise,
1 Yâhuwchânâ´n 4:4.
But ye are from YHWH little children, and ye have overcome them,
because greater is He Who is in you than he who is within the world!
2 Qorinthíym 13:6.
Yet I hope that ye will recognize that we are not rejected.
2 Qorinthíym 13:7.
And I pray to YHWH that ye may do nothing evil: not in order that we
may appear approved, rather in order that ye may do what is right,
though we may appear as rejected.
2 Qorinthíym 13:8.
For we do not have any force against the Truth, instead, for the Truth!
2 Qorinthíym 13:9.
For we rejoice when we may be weak, and when ye may be full of force!
So this we also pray for: your thorough equipment.
2 Qorinthíym 13:10.
Due to this, I write these things being absent in order that, being
present, I may not employ abruptness according to the authority that
YHWH gave me, for edification and not for demolition.
2 Qorinthíym 13:11.
The rest, brothers, is to be glad, be thoroughly complete, be
encouraged, have the same opinion, be at peace; and the mighty One of
affectionate love and peace shall be with you.
And finally
“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me; and let him drink, He who puts
his trust in Me; as the scripture said, torrents of living water shall
flow from his interior!”
But He said this about the Raukh, which those putting their trust in
Him were about to receive; for the Raukh had not yet been given
because YâHuWsHúa ` was not yet honored.
2 Qorinthíym 13:12.
Bid one another peace with a pure kiss. All the pure ones bid you
peace!
2 Qorinthíym 13:13.
The favor of our Sovereign YâHuWsHúa ` the Anointed, and the
affectionate love of the mighty One, and the sharing of the Raukh of
the Pure One be with all of you, âmë´n (certainly).
In His Name
Blessed be, in His name

Be not blind to the truth
And, hinnei, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard
that YâHuWsHúa` passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O
YHWH, [thou] Ben David. An YâHuWsHúa` stood still, and called them,
and said, what will ye that I shall do unto you they say unto Him,
YHWH, that our eyes may be opened. So YâHuWsHúa` had compassion
[on them], and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received
sight, and they followed him.
