 Micha’el Unveiled! |
Who Am I?
I’ve been a Wonder to myself all of my life, and certainly to those around me, including my own family and closest friends! Having felt like a stranger all my life even from childhood, I’d always wondered about who I really was, and why I didn’t fit so much anywhere in this world, not in my family, with my school friends, nor in any organized religious establishment for that matter! That is because from before I came into this world I was destined, ordained, and set apart to know GOD intimately, destined to be a friend of God, just like Abraham our father himself who was destined to leave all behind and follow and walk by faith with the God Who created him and the whole universe. Nothing else was going to fill this vacuum I felt from birth but a close personal one on one relationship with my Creator and Father! And I knew that I was NOT to be denied this and so I continue daily to humbly seek Him with all of my heart, He makes Himself known to me and constantly shows me things too wonderful for me to even fully comprehend, things that have been hidden from my eyes, veiled through this life’s pilgrimage and temporary human covering! My heart’s desire has always been to walk blamelessly before Him, and to serve HIM without fear, in Holiness, Truth, and Righteousness all of the days of my life through His Help.
Humble Beginnings!
“Don’t ever forget where you come from and you won’t forget where you are going” is a very common saying and could be very true for me! Born in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti on the night of the 27th of Av 5729 which fell on August 11, 1969; apparently a descendant of hidden Jews bred in Catholicism, who were possibly descendants of Jews from the line of King David and King Solomon (God only knows). My mother left me at 8 months old to join my Dad in the US, and so I was weaned and raised by my God-fearing Grandmother, Passiany (Peshiani) Josil who raised me in the Psalms from early childhood! By the time I was 5 years old I had several Psalms memorized by heart! Brought forth in iniquity but was apparently destined to be a Chief Musician and Prince with GOD; but I didn’t know it! I thank God for my holy maternal Grandma who instilled Tehilim into my bones from the time I was an infant! She was a true Jewish soul!
My older sister and I finally moved to the States for good after several attempts and short stays in New York, to join my parents and other siblings, and I was raised, from the age of 11, in Crown Heights, Center of Chabad/ Lubavitcher Rebbe with my clueless non-religious parents and siblings, on Kingston Ave and Empire Blvd!
My destiny was staring me in the face and I didn’t quite know it! I just remember often looking out my apartment window and watching the Jewish kids play and having this really deep longing in my heart to join them and be part of Am Israel! Israel was always in my DNA, and Jerusalem, in my blood! So when I finally made to Israel in 2001, I instantly knew that this was my Home! I was finally Home!
On a lighter note, I grew up listening and loving the music of Michael Jackson and Prince & the Revolution in the 80’s and later on the music of Babyface influenced me greatly. I attended schools in Brooklyn, then went away to College in Long Island New York, at SUNY Stony Brook. After my studies in Liberal Arts, I started to really dream and pursue the Music scene!
Eventually moved to Manhattan in 95 to pursue a Music career in R&B; (Rhythm & Blues) and a pseudo acting career, I joined the Actor’s Union, SAG, Screen Actor’s Guild while in between insignificant acting jobs, I also waited tables at restaurants including Puff Daddy’s (Sean “Puffy” Combs) restaurant, Justin’s! But my heart was always in producing, writing, singing and creating music that heals and strengthens! Love songs! Yeah! I’ve always been a lover and fanatic of love. I’ve always been in love with the notion of LOVE, and was a romantic, a dreamer really, and somewhat of a Poet! Since, unlike no one else in the world, I was raised in a dysfunctional home where love was lacking, as a teenager, I sought refuge in not only meditating in the Psalms and talking to GOD always, but music became a safe haven for me! And I began to compose my own songs in my late teen years! Some of which were very sorry and pitiful as my younger sister would, back then, quickly attest to! But I pressed on, I didn’t give up! In my mind’s eye, I was destined to be a Star! Why else would my portion in life be so hard? There must be a reason for it all! God will make it up to me by making a famous Star! That was how I thought! And it gave me strength to carry on when things were really bad! I had always sensed that I was destined for a greater purpose, and always sensed the Hand of GOD heavy on my life from early childhood! Was I up for a big surprise and turn of events!
The Journey
On my way to the big times, after recording my first complete R&B; CD on my own Independent label; I hired a young production team and we shot a very promising and impressive video for my first single in Spring 1999 which caught the eye of some executives. After these successes I was being told by established executives in the Industry, that I would, for sure, be the next Michael Jackson, in sound appeal and influence (hopefully they were referring only to MJ’s good traits! May God bless him!). Sometime in early May of that year, an opportunity presented itself and I was basically being offered a major publishing deal that would’ve been worth, I was told, at least $200,000 to start my career writing for major recording artists with a major Publishing company at the time (EMI Publishing under the direction of Derrick Thompson, a major player in the Music Industry, now with BMG songs I believe, and the meeting was arranged by Jimmy Maynes of ASCAP) in Times Square NY. But unbeknown to the executives, I previously had an encounter with the Living GOD and my life had taken a turn and I sensed God had other plans in mind for me and so I decided to drop everything and by faith follow HIM blindly! Would’ve had opportunities to write and work with legends like Janet Jackson and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, also with Kevon Edmonds of After7, brother of amazing producer Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds but GOD was calling so loudly and so lovingly! I couldn’t resist HIM! Who can possibly resist HIM when you see His Glory? Certainly not me! Fame, and Fortune or GOD! Hmm! I will choose HIM any day! I knew that I couldn’t serve both GOD and money! It wasn’t easy but I forsook the riches and lure of the Music Industry; and I was gloriously guided and graced supernaturally to make the right decision and to stand firm in it! Of course, everyone around me thought that I was crazy to turn down such an opportunity, especially my family and closest friends! But they hadn’t tasted Heaven like I did! They hadn’t seen the One Who is altogether Lovely! They hadn’t seen the Visions I saw of what was to come! They didn’t know my “Secret” which has helped to endure all sorts of challenges in the Way through the years!
But prior to that encounter, I remembered crying out in my bedroom late Summer 1998, “O God if you are out there and if you are real, make me holy! I want to be holy unto you!” It was a sincere cry! And He’s answered my prayer swiftly! Baruch Hashem! I’ve been on the Highway of Holiness ever since, being guided by the Unseen Hand of a Loving Father watching over his son and honoring a simple sincere prayer from the heart! This Highway eventually led me to Torah and to Am Yisrael, and to Jerusalem, the holy City, to the present time! Baruch Hashem! I will NOT be denied! I’ve already given up everything and have come too far to turn to the left or to the right, so help me GOD!
After the valley of decision in 1999, that Summer I was led to a non-denominational Congregation in Times Square under the leadership of David Wilkerson, a well respected Evangelical Prophet/Preacher, where I served and traveled as a soloist together with the TSC Gospel Choir and after two years under David Wilkerson’s teaching and influence, right after 9/11 God called me to Israel in November 2001. A new Page in y life story was turned, and a whole new journey began and I came to know who I really was, and what my purpose in life was through a lifestyle of prayer and fasting which brought many divine encounters, visions and dreams! Not having had any Hebrew lessons prior to that time, surprisingly within two months after I was taught the Alef Bet, I began reading Tehilim and composing, receiving or channeling new Hebrew songs and melodies in, as some said, the likeness of David Hamelech!
I remember going to Jerusalem to the Kotel, where I heard God say to me: “Micha’el, Micha’el, I’ve called you to be Watchman over my People Israel! I will give you new songs that will melt their hearts and they will know that I AM the LORD!” Shortly afterwards, back on Mount Carmel, in Haifa, Summer 2002, God visited me with terrifying dark, dark clouds, and showed me things to come in Israel and the world that scared the lights out of me! Also things about my past, even from early childhood that had been hidden from me were revealed; and in the merit of my other hidden Jewish Grandmother Esther, a lot of things came to light and GOD began to unveil things about me and why I am here in this world and at this time in history! It was so scary! I wanted to run, and did run, but there was nowhere to run, really! I finally said yes to God, after that experience I realized how fearsome GOD really is, all my other fears went away, and that night I died to my “self” and entered true submission and obedient worship to GOD! I then made vows to proclaim HIM, and to be His spokesman, His Representative on earth, His Voice wherever He sends me as long as He’ll be with me and help me! I went through series of tests and trials which are still going on today, and He’s been faithful to keep me faithful and obedient to HIM and to the heavenly vision no matter what! Baruch Hashem! He’s since given me hundreds of songs, songs of Zion, and many opportunities to be a Jewish voice to the nations and to prepare the WAY for His KINGDOM!
From that point on I was called back by God to embrace His Torah, Shabbat and Moadim/Appointed times or feasts, unlike what I was being taught in the “Church.” For according to most Christians, the Old Testament is just that ‘Old,’ and we’re not under the Law therefore we do not need to observe it! Nothing can be farther from the Truth! Well God told me otherwise, if the Torah is in your heart then you should honor Me in the Spirit of Torah, obedience to God’s ordinances and statutes which leads to greater holiness, and that brought me in conflict with most Christians! It’s clear in Torah that Hashem commanded the Children of Israel to do certain things and observe certain days as a sign of the Eternal Covenant with Israel, and often commanded us to do these things in order to be holy because He was holy! I was determined to get as close to Hashem as it was humanly possible! The more I observed what I could understand the more I was being blessed spiritually and the more the opposition!
I went to Hawaii for a month to be with some Israeli friends of mine for some R&R;! Then when I came back to New York, I went through a lot of misunderstandings, rejections and sufferings for my new found Way from those closest to me! Then after about another year from my return trip in Israel, the Spirit of God told me to leave the Church establishment and He sent me to His ancient People and my people, the Chassidic Jews, to learn Torah from a Jewish perspective and to sing His songs over them (see Zephaniah 3:17). I was told by the Spirit of God not to preach but to learn Torah and be a blessing! Carlebach Shul on the Upper West Side was where I ended up before Hashem sent me on a Lech lecha to Jerusalem in Autumn 2004. With my guitar and half of my belongings I left everything behind and I took flight and ascended and have been ascending ever since living by the faith of God’s personal Word and Promises to me! I can write a book about this journey, the ups and downs, the struggles and the victories, the lack and the miraculous provisions, not having known anyone prior to coming to Jerusalem, God quickly established me with amazing friends and new Chevra and family!
Daily I found myself growing in God’s grace and Wisdom, in the deep things of God, and even now, I keep discovering more and more about myself as I commune with the Holy One, HaKadosh Baruch Hu! I wouldn’t trade this for the world because He’s all I have and He is more than enough! Though I’ve been through many a dark days, famine, rejection, lack, misunderstandings on all sides and from everyone, in the midst of it all Hashem was and is with me along with all the angels cheering me on. If I was looking to please men, and NOT GOD, I would’ve given up long ago! In the midst of the hardships, there have also been lots of beautiful experiences, trips, encounters and things that took place, and beautiful holy relationships were formed that I will forever hold dear in my heart! Overall, by God’s Grace, I am content with the Portion He’s given me! I am familiar with suffering, and grief and I can identify with Am Israel, and I can identify with Yeshua! Every time conflicts arise, I am grateful for them as they always lead me to the ROCK that is higher than I and cause me to draw even closer to HIM! And I become the better for it! May I become a better Jew and sanctified servant of Hashem as I go through the fires of life!
Psalms 27:13 “I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.”
“Then I said. “Behold, I come; in the Scroll of the Book it is written of me. I delight to do Your will, O my GOD, and Your Torah is within my heart. I have proclaimed the Good News of Righteousness in the Great Assembly; indeed I do not restrain my lips, O LORD, You Yourself know. I have not hidden Your Righteousness within my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and Your Salvation; I have not concealed Your Mercy and Your truth from the Great Assembly. Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me O LORD; let Your Chessed / Mercy and Your Truth continually preserve me.” Psalm 40:7-11
From Jerusalem, God has sent me to the nations, such as Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, England, Scotland, France, and the US to declare His Faithfulness to Israel! I was sent as an Ambassador on behalf of Israel to be a Jewish Voice to those nations with a message of Zion, of repentance and love from Hashem! And about almost 3 years ago in Hamburg EmeTzion International was birthed and posted on the world wide web with the help of friends.
“For thus says Adonai Ts’vaot: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the Apple or Pupil of His Eye. For surely I will shake My Hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. Then you shall know that Hashem Ts’vaot has sent Me.” Zechariah 2:8-9
I’ve since been traveling back and forth as the Spirit leads me and last year with the help of a chosen and humble vessel, Phil Rogers of Independence Missouri, I recorded a double CD, a labor of Love, which took twelve months to finish in the US! Now I wait for more instructions and provisions from Heaven to do all that He’s put in my heart to do!
“Out of Zion shall go forth the TORAH and the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem!” B’Ezrat Hashem!
And Jerusalem shall become a Praise in all the Earth!
The Calling
I’ve been called from the foundation of the world to go before His Face to prepare His Ways to give knowledge of Salvation to His people by the remission of sins, through the Blood of the Corban Moshiach; to give Light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide the feet of God’s people into the Way of Peace; of Shalom!
I humbly yet boldly declare that I was sent by the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as an Ambassador of Heaven to be a Witness to the Truth and to bring sight and renewed vision to all of God’s people in order that Israel, in particular, would enter her destiny to bring Light and Holiness to the whole world, according to God’s eternal plan that Israel was to be a leading Kingdom of Ministers and Holy Nation; a Light to the World and Salt of the Earth! I am sent to help bring insight to what’s been hidden from her eyes and understanding, and to point to how we, as a holy nation, may possess our promised inheritance! We’ve been robbed for too long! We must contend for our Inheritance! Let’s NOT settle for a bowl of soup when HaKadosh Baruch Hu / the Holy One Blessed be He, has got a festive table prepared for us to eat and drink before HIM, just as the seventy elders, Moshe, Aaron, Nadav and Avihu were called to do on Har Sinai! See Exodus 24:9-11
“Truly You are GOD, Who hide Yourself, O GOD of Israel, the Savior.” Yeshayahu 45:15
“And I will wait on the the LORD, Who hides His Face from the House of Jacob; and I will hope in HIM! Here am I and the children whom the LORD has given me! We are for signs and wonders in Israel from Adonai Ts’vaot, Who dwells in Mount Zion.” Yeshayahu 8:17-18
“To the TORAH and the TESTIMONY! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because there is no Light in them.” Isaiah 8:20
I do not come in my own name! In Spirit and in Truth, I have been sent to destroy the works of HaSatan not in my own name and power but in the Power of the Name before which all hell and powers of darkness tremble and fear!
I was set apart from before I was born to a non-compromising walk in the Light, Truth, Holiness, Love of & Fear of YHVH! Called to expose all darkness and establish God’s Righteousness and Kingdom on Earth!
“Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’ concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, nor be afraid of their threats, nor be troubled. YHVH Ts’vaot, HIM you shall hallow; let HIM be your fear, and let HIM be your dread. He will be as a Mikdash/Sanctuary, but a Stone of stumbling and a Rock of offense to both the houses of Israel, as a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall fall and be broken, be snared and taken. Bind up the Testimony and seal the TORAH among my students/disciples.” Isaiah 8:12-16
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe to those are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!” Isaiah 5:20-21
“People shall be brought down, each man shall be humbled. But the LORD, Hashem Ts’vaot, shall be exalted in JUDGMENT, and GOD Who is Holy shall be hallowed in Righteousness.” Isaiah 5:15-16
“For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with Righteousness, and the peoples with His truth or Faithfulness.” Psalm 96:13
“For He is coming to judge the earth. With Righteousness He shall judge the world, and the peoples with equity.” Psalm 98:9
And when it pleases our Father in Heaven, in His perfect timing, He will use me and others with me to fully demonstrate the Kingdom of Heaven, for it is at hand. And GOD Himself will stretch out His Mighty Hand to heal the sick of His people, to open blind eyes; and unstop deaf ears, cast out devils, and raise the dead; restoring the captives and the broken of His people, and giving back what’s been lost or stolen, ushering in and demonstrating His Kingdom on earth, in Jerusalem, Israel and all the world for the good Hand of the LORD will be upon us!
“With You is the Fountain of Life; In Your Light we see Light!” Psalm 36:9
May we have eyes and hearts to discern the times we’re living in, prophesied by the Prophets, our forefathers! May Hashem open our eyes to His Wisdom in this critical hour! May we be filled with the Spirit of God according to Yoel 2:28 and may our sons and daughters prophesy and our old men have dreams and our young men see visions! It is written in Proverbs that without vision people perish or cast off restraint! How can we not see the Hand of God in all this! The handwriting is on the wall! All things are being orchestrated by Hashem to release us into greater Freedom in HIM and into Destiny!
Shlomo HaMelech/King Solomon made a brilliant declaration once the first Temple was built; he said that the highest Heavens cannot contain Hashem! In other words, God, you are awesome, so how can even the Beit HaMikdash, however formidable it was to behold, a Temple built by human hands, contain HIM. It’s impossible! And so how can any of us or any of our religion for that matter, think that we have God figured all out and in a bag sort of speak, and that we know all things we need to know? I see so much of the hands of men in our religious establishments, where is the Hand of GOD? I don’t know about you but I want to see the Hand of GOD in whatever I do and wherever I go! I will not settle for the things of men! Neither should you! Let’s hunger after the realities of Hashem! I want to see demonstration of the KINGDOM! We’ve been praying about for so long, now let’s experience it!
We all need to humble ourselves for all of us like sheep have gone astray and missed the mark one way or another so that no one may boast before a holy and fearsome GOD and King of the Universe! We have yet to experience His Fullness! Though it’s coming soon! Thank God! But we must seek it! We must want it above all things! God will NOT share His deep secrets and treasures with those who treat Him, His truth or His Gifts with contempt! But if we humble ourselves, His Fullness will come; and the whole world will know about it! It will fill the earth as the waters cover the Sea!
“For who has stood in the Counsel of the LORD, and has perceived and heard His Word? Who has marked His Word and heard it? Behold a whirlwind of the LORD has gone forth in fury–a violent whirlwind! It will fall violently on the head of the wicked. The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has executed and performed the thoughts of His heart. In the latter days you will understand it perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran. I have not spoken to them yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in My Counsel, and had caused My people to hear My Words, then they would have turned them from their evil way and from the evil of their doings. ‘Am I a God near at hand and not a God afar off? Can anyone hide himself in secret places, so I shall not see him?’ says the LORD; ‘Do I not fill Heaven and Earth?’ says the LORD.” Jeremiah 23:18-24
Therefore, know that it was in obedience to the Spirit of GOD, that I concealed certain things pertaining to my Faith as much as I personally could; but at the same time I was shouting it out loud and clear through my neshama, through my music and through a website for all to taste, see and know! Deep down I wish the whole world could discover what I’ve been so blessed to discover: the Love, Purity, Wisdom, Faith, Strength and Beauty found in Yeshua, and the Treasure of Torah and the Rest of Shabbat and the Warmth of beautiful Am Israel, the People of the LORD, and how it is all connected as ONE!
For my Jewish friends who in the past had asked me: “so why do you need Him anyway? Why don’t you just let go of Yeshua? Who needs Him anyway?” Well, how can I put it in words a Jew can hopefully understand! Let’s see it’s like a Christian coming to me and saying: “So why do you love the Jews so much and why do you need to study Torah, we’re not under the Law? And what’s so special about Jerusalem, it’s an old, cold, stony city, and it’s not even safe; you are crazy to live there and why don’t you just forget about Israel and the people? You could do well for yourself anywhere in the world!” They just don’t get it! First of all in obedience to God I am here; for this is where HE has sent me! And in obeying, I’ve discovered that I have found a Treasure! That Christian cannot possibly comprehend the depth of this Treasure I’ve found in the Torah and the People of Israel because he hadn’t experienced the People of Israel in the observance of Torah, nor can that Jew understand about the Treasure I’ve found in the Person of Yeshua Himself (Not in the Church system) because he hadn’t experience the Reality of knowing Yeshua! But those Treasures are One and the same folks! It’s all connected in YHVH! One cannot fully exist without the other! Yeshua is in my heart! Torah is my heart! Am Yisrael is in my heart! Jerusalem is in my heart! There is no parting from any of it! It’s all one big Heavenly puzzle being put together by the Hand of God!
To me, forsaking Yeshua is like abandoning the Jewish people, and forsaking the Jewish people is like abandoning Yeshua! For whatever I do to the least of these, His Brethren, I’ve done unto Him! That’s why my Reward is HUGE in GOD! “For he who sows Righteousness will have a sure Reward.” Proverbs 11:18 And B’Ezrat Hashem, I will not let any Jew or Christian rob me of my Reward in GOD!
When I look into the faces and lives of some of the precious Jews and some rabbis I’ve been graced by to meet and befriend; it’s as if I was looking at Yeshua Himself! I even told that to rabbi Naftali Citron of Carlebach Shul in New York once! With the eyes of faith, I see Yeshua, in my precious holy Jewish brothers and sisters that I’ve been so blessed to know in the last several years! I see grace, I see love & understanding (for the most part, though there has been some ugly exceptions but that’s okay). In most of them, I see obedience and a true desire for holiness and to serve Hashem with all their hearts and to do His will! I would never ask a Jew to forsake his Judaism! For I believe that it is through the study of Torah and the Prophets that the Jews would recognize Yeshua as Who He is! But do yourselves a favor and don’t even bother to ask me to ever abandon Yeshua! It’s NOT gonna happen! I love you way too much to compromise my Faith! Plus He won’t let me go that easily! He’s jealous over me! He’ll fight for me! So look out!
So you see I could never deny HIM, denying HIM is like denying you! Allow me to pose a question to you! Why do you think Achmadinejad of Iran and the likes of him are all so quick to deny the holocaust despite all the evidence proving it to be so? And why do you think our Arab neighbors are so adamant about throwing Israel into the sea? Could it be firstly, that we as a nation have denied the Holy One of the holocaust of all time, the historical and recorded Death and Resurrection of YESHUA, the JEW of all Jews 2,000 years ago, our Sent Suffering Servant and Corban Moshiach, despite all the evidence proving otherwise? And what are those evidences for both cases, are they not the witnesses, those who have experienced the realities of what took place and lived to tell about it? How absurd to deny the holocaust of six million Jews who were simply murdered because of the testimony they held of being God’s chosen people! How equally absurd to deny the Testimony of YESHUA, chosen to be our Corban Moshiach!
Could it be also that our Arab neighbors want to throw us out of our own promised Land and into the sea because we are wanting to do the same to our fellow Jews who worship and think differently than we do, denying them their right to making Alyah, the same promises given to all Jews by GOD regardless of religious affiliations? Surely Judgment is coming to those in charge for their biases, injustices, corruptions and double standards, unless they repent and do justly in the eyes of Hashem! For they are resisting and dishonoring Hashem’s eternal Word!
For God said that He would gather the children of Israel from every place to which He had scattered them. That can also be interpreted as not just out of physical places but also mindsets brought about from different religions and cultures which Hashem promises to cleanse them from all uncleanness by sprinkling clean water on them, giving them new hearts to know HIM and follow His ways.
“For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own Land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep my judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the Land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My People, and I will be your GOD.” Ezekiel 36:24-29
Sounds to me like a sovereign work of God! He Himself will bring them back to the Land He’d promised their forefathers and there He would meet them and shall be their GOD! Depriving a Jew from a God given promise is defying GOD Himself! There will be judgment for taking such a position unless we turn from our wicked way! And the time of judgment has come!
For it’s written by the Prophets that “As you have done, so it shall be done to you; your own reprisal shall return to your own head!” Does the story of Yosef and his brothers ring a bell? Could that be a Blueprint from the Torah pointing us to the Moshiach’s appointed work and what would happen to HIM and we missed it corporately as a nation? But wasn’t it all according to the Divine Blueprint and Sovereign Will of GOD that everything should happen as they did? Come let us reason together!
Ask yourselves, “It’s 2,000 years later since we lost the Temple, have we yet learned a lesson from why it was destroyed in the first place? And plus, here and now, is there true Justice in Israel? Are there not in our midst all sorts of corruption and greed, pride and prejudice, lust and all sorts of wickedness from the greatest to the least, from the leadership to least of the people? As it is written in the Prophets: “As the priests or ministers so are the people!” Have we learned to truly love one another? Is there true Chessed between one Jew to another Jew, especially if he thinks or believes differently than us? Or do we justify our wicked actions and attitude towards another Jew by saying to ourselves that this fellow Jew is no longer a Jew because of his religious affiliation and way of worship? Who made you or anyone of us judge over our fellow brother?
And why is there such obvious partiality and hypocrisy in our lawmaking? What about the Bu-Jews or Jew-Bu’s who adapt to the teaching of Buddha, and all the Jews traveling to India and other foreign lands who in their search for Truth are involved in all sorts of Eastern ways and religious activities forbidden by Torah? What are we doing about those lost sheep? Shouldn’t we weep over those and pray for them to find their Way back to Hashem and to the Torah? How come we are more than willing to accept those Jews and discriminate against other Jews who have found Refuge in YESHUA, their Fountain of Life? Again, who made you or me GOD and Judge over our fellow Jew or any human being for that matter? Heaven knows and is watching! We will be judged by the very TORAH we claimed to be observing! For it is written there that you shall love your neighbor as yourself!
“Hear the Word of the LORD, you children of Israel, for the LORD brings a charge against the inhabitants of the Land: “There is no truth or mercy or knowledge of GOD in the Land!” Hoshea 4:1
“For the lips of a priest or minister should keep knowledge, and people should seek the Torah from his mouth; for he is the messenger of the LORD of Armies. But you have departed from the WAY; You have caused many to stumble at the Torah. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,” Says the LORD of Armies. “Therefore I also have made you contemptible and base before all the people, because you have not kept My Ways but have shown partiality in the TORAH!” Malachi 2:7-9
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. And because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest/kohen/minister for Me; because you have forgotten the Torah of your God, I also will forget your children!” Hoshea 4:6
“He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do JUSTICE, to love Chessed/Mercy, and to walk humbly with your GOD?” Micah 6:8
“Thus says Adonai Ts’vaot: “Execute true Justice, show mercy and compassion everyone to his brother. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. Let none of you plan evil in his heart against his brother.”
Zechariah 7:9
“The LORD is in His Holy Temple, the LORD’s Throne is in Heaven; His eyes behold, His eyelids test the sons of men. The LORD tests the righteous, but the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates. Upon the wicked He will rain coals; fire and brimstone and a burning wind shall be the portion of their cup. For the LORD is Righteous. He loves Righteousness; His Countenance beholds the upright.” Psalm 11:4-7
Secrets of Hashem
“Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him shall He teach in the Way He chooses. He Himself shall dwell in prosperity, and his descendants shall inherit the earth. The SECRET of the LORD is with those who fear HIM, and He will show them His Covenant.” Psalm 25:14
Isn’t it just like GOD to conceal a matter or conceal Himself yet leave enough evidence of Him out there to be discovered by hungry, seeking hearts! Leaving room for personal discovery! That’s what Judaism should be about! It should not fear new discoveries or prevent Jews from exploring what may be hidden nuggets of truths found in God’s Holy Book with the Torah as the Foundation, to elevate us to a KINGDOM mentality and ruling! Judaism should encourage searching out a matter! That is the glory of kings! And Israel is a Royal Nation! It is her duty to search! But ultimately Hashem Himself will be the One to bring us into all Truth! The things/words/D’varim mentioned in the Scroll of Daniel are being opened and are no longer closed nor sealed; for we are in the prophetic time of the End!
“And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13
First and foremost, I want to express that I totally encourage and highly recommend Torah study and the study of the Prophets and the Writings as the way for every Jewish soul out there to come to the knowledge of Truth! It’s all right there, man, to be discovered!
I personally don’t believe in nor promote Christian missionary outreach to the Jewish people! When it comes to reaching Jews with the Gospel, it’s very personal to God!
“It’s not by might, nor by power but by My Spirit says the LORD!” Only the Spirit of Grace can reach into hearts and souls; and God Himself will pour out the Ruach Chen on Jerusalem and her inhabitants as it is written in Zechariah 12:10!
“The Message/Word is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart so that you can do it or obey it.” These are the words of Moshe Rabbeinu in Deuteronomy 30:14. The Jewish people are more than equipped to discover Truth on their own through the TORAH by the Spirit of Grace! The Holy Book filled with God’s Wisdom was written by GOD through them! You will not find a wiser people! But understandably because of all the atrocities, sufferings, wounds, and baggage and horror and terror that the Jews have endured throughout history over centuries from misguided people, their hearts have become hardened to certain revelation of the Truth which have kept them from even seeking or wanting to know the Truth! Let’s all face it! YESHUA has not been appealing to most Jews for all these centuries because no one knew how to properly introduce or present HIM to the Jews, and plus according to Biblical prophecy it just was not yet time! There just was no revelation from Heaven because the time had not yet come! BUT NOW IS THE TIME! Revelation is now being released from Heaven accompanied with God’s Grace, unconditional Love, patience and understanding! It’s a very delicate situation! But at the same time one who is sent by God has to stand firm in the Truth even if it hurts for a bit, like applying medicine to a wound, in the end we’ll be all the better for it! Trust me! I feel your pain!
But what an opportunity for Israel to ascend above all of that! That’s where we, Israel, need to overcome as a Holy Nation and enter into our destiny! No one ever that being Chosen or Called for a specific task or purpose was going to be easy! This is where the wrestling begins! This is where the men are separated from the boys! This is where we need to do a little growing up! Should we or should we not forgive all those horrendous things that we suffered from these Goyim/Gentiles? We are in a wrestling match with GOD and with ourselves to forgive or not to forgive! This is where Jacob encountered the Angel and had to contend for the blessing, overcome and be renamed Israel, a Ministering Prince with GOD! Jacob sought to find favor and forgiveness from his brother Esau whom he had deceived and wronged in taking his birthright and blessing of the firstborn, though it was all part of God’s plan. Nevertheless He had to come face to face with the Angel of the LORD, some say the angel of Esau regarding his own guilt, shortcomings, and fears! Today Israel will have to deal with the same issue of fear, guilt, shame and forgiveness; receiving it and giving it as well! We are at the same crossroad as our Patriarch was so many years ago, right now, at this time! We will not go forward in our journey without crossing over that road; we just can’t do it without forgiveness! We must get rid of all bitterness and forgive and receive Hashem’s forgiveness ourselves for sinning against HIM and missing the mark ourselves! Forgiveness breaks us! It leaves us limping! But it is better to walk into the fullness of our destiny limping than to never enter it at all because of pride and un-forgiveness!
And if Heaven is willing to forgive us for all the sins we’ve committed against God throughout the Ages, then we should certainly be willing and able, B’Ezrat Hashem with the help of the Spirit and Grace of GOD to forgive even those who have done such horrible, and dastardly things in the name of Religion to our ancestors! For we, as a people, have also blasphemed and misrepresented Hashem as well throughout the Ages! It’s all recorded in the Prophets!
“Then you shall know that I Am the LORD, when I bring you into the Land of Israel, into the country for which I raised My Hand in an oath to give to your fathers. And there you shall remember your ways and all your doings with which you were defiled; and you shall loathe yourselves in your own sight because of all the evils that you have committed. Then you shall know that I Am the LORD, when I have dealt with you for My Name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways nor according to your corrupt doings, O House of Israel, ” says the LORD GOD.’ ” Ezekiel 20:42-44
“But I had concern for My holy Name, which the House of Israel had profaned among the nations wherever they went. Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the LORD God: “I do not do this for your sake, O House of Israel, but for My holy Name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went. And I will sanctify My great Name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I Am the LORD,” says the LORD God, “when I Am hallowed in you before their eyes.” Ezekiel 36: 21-23
I myself have been guilty of such; in the past before I surrendered to His Ways and even now on some occasions of weakness I might say something or react in a way that does not hallow God / Kiddush Hashem, but as I am quick to repent, He never fails to restore me to my true self and being in HIM, a servant minister to the One True God; so for that I am forever grateful to our Merciful and Gracious God! For I know that, without His gracious Hand upon me, I am capable of profaning His Name and Ways as well at any given moment! That’s why I depend on His Strength always!
“If You, LORD, should mark iniquities, O Hashem, who could stand? But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be feared!” Psalm 130:3-4
“Oh Israel, hope in the LORD; for with the LORD there is Chessed / mercy, and with HIM is abundant redemption. And He shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.” Psalm 130:7-8
A Call to Leadership
A lot of responsibility comes with leadership! Israel is called and chosen by God to be a leadership nation in the Kingdom of God, the Service of God in the Temple, and in all Spiritual matters! Israel could never be replaced! Let’s get that straight! Israel has an irrevocable calling and destiny! The training for that is and has been excruciatingly painful and long, but after all is said and done, it’ll bring forth the most beautiful of fruit! And Hashem will be glorified! And Israel will once again become the Head ministering nation and all the other nations that are called by His Name will once again know that there is a GOD in Israel Who reigns from Jerusalem, the Mountain of the LORD, and they will all take their rightful place alongside Israel, and not ahead of her or in place of her! Amen! Like in the days of Elijah the prophet, it will be said: “The God who answers by FIRE; He is GOD!” “The LORD, He is GOD!”
But God in His mercy continues to raise up helpers and guides to help us get to our destination! I’m only here to help Am Israel reach her destiny, not to harm; to bless Israel and not to curse! May Hashem do the worst ever to me if I were to ever cause Israel any harm, especially deliberately! I am humbled by the fact that the GOD of the Universe would find me faithful enough to entrust me with His most treasured possession, to guard the very Pupil of his eye, Israel, along with HIM!
I walk very circumspectly before Hashem with fear and trembling and before Am Israel; for I do not take this calling lightly! May GOD help me to always be faithful to HIM no matter what and to fulfill all that He called me to accomplish; that for which I was created, in the Fear of God, and in the Spirit Counsel and Might! Amen!
“Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD, for He is aroused from His Holy Habitation!” Zechariah 2:13
Keeping silent about my knowledge of and faith in YESHUA was not to be sneaky or deceitful but it was my marching order and the strategy given to me from Heaven, in the likeness of Queen Esther who herself had to hide her full identity for a season, which ultimately brought good and in the right time lives were saved and preserved, in the long run! Was she deceiving the king or was she being obedient to Mordechai and to GOD’s will? So it was with me! I was sent not to deceive the Royal nation of Israel but to help to redeem her and to expose the deception and lie she has bought into for centuries from the Evil one who deceived Adam and Chava and continues to deceive their descendants till this day! We must become wise and defeat him in his own game!
I had planned a benefit concert for a children’s charity to involve some well known musicians in Jerusalem, and at the last minute, the day of, it was canceled because of my Faith in YESHUA! It was right before Purim, on Hashem’s Moed, that my identity in Yeshua was brought to light and broadcasted over the internet, though it was put in a very negative light, yet I sensed God was behind all of this! Baruch Hashem! I became this public spectacle! I eventually got asked to leave the Yeshiva where I was learning some Torah to their own shame for no one should ever be barred from learning Torah! And I’ve been called an enemy of Israel by some and threatened by others! But Baruch Hashem, for I am simply His servant trying to be a light in this dark, and cold world! And so like King David, I encouraged myself in the LORD and wrote many new songs during this time of trial! I know that my Reward is not in this world! I live for Another Who is my exceeding great Reward! He can do with me as He pleases! I am His showmanship! His workmanship for His holy purposes! All I can say is “HINENI!” “Here I am! Have Your Way! Make a public spectacle of me all you want and let it be for your Glory! And let peoples lives be changed for the better!”
“It is the Glory of God to conceal a matter; but the Glory of kings to search out a matter.” Proverbs 25:2
“So shall he sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at him; for what had not been told them, they shall see, and what they had not heard they shall consider.” Isaiah 52:15
Maybe this is one of the ways that Hashem is making bare His Holy Arm in the eyes of the nations; so that all the ends of the earth may see the Salvation of GOD. See Isaiah 52:10 I am just a prophetic picture of what He wants to bring forth in this season! Most of the time I am clue-less! But God is in charge! “Taste and see that the LORD is GOOD!”
There is a holy kind of Hide & Seek where the father wants so much to be found by his little children that as he hides behind a curtain or a door, He deliberately leaves out His bare arm in plain view of the children, that they may gleefully discover HIM! “Abba, we found you!” How merciful and loving and just! For who could find HIM if He were to really hide? The Creator of this vast universe, if He wanted to hide, He could hide really well and make it impossible for any of us to find HIM! But He longs to be found and goes out of His way so we can find Him! When we truly consider and meditate on the infinite Love that GOD has for us, why should it surprise us to hear of the great length and depth that God would go to in order to redeem us and make Himself known to us, that He may be approachable once again as in Gan Eden before the fall! It is the most amazing and romantic Love story ever, and I can’t wait for the glorious ending: “And they lived happily ever after!”
For He comes daily to seek His Bride! If only we could have enlightened eyes and pure hearts to see and to receive His Love! We would be the more blessed for it!
“Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon HIM while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him, and to our GOD for He will abundantly pardon. For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways,’ says the LORD. For as the Heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” Yeshayahu/Isaiah 55:6-9
NOW WHAT!
PREPARING FOR WAR!
“At that time Micha’el shall stand up, the great Prince (HaSar Hagadol) who stands watch over the sons of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the Book.” Daniel 12:1
“In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; the one who is feeble among them in that day shall be like David, and the house of David shall be like God, like the Angel of the LORD before them. It shall be in that day that I would seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” Zechariah 12:8-9
We are already in a Warfare! It’s more to it than just what we see manifesting in the physical realm, but it’s a spiritual warfare! One that we cannot see that is dictating what actually takes place in the physical realm! I’ve been sent by the Master of the Universe to prepare Israel for WAR, and everything that entails, by the Spirit of Truth in Worship and to usher in Deliverance or Geulah to all those whose names are written in the Book as it is written! And I’ve been called to uphold the Truth, and nothing but the Truth of Scripture! I am here to Witness to the Truth! I’ve been sent to prepare the Way of the LORD and to make a Highway for our God according to the Blueprint shown in the Heavenly Torah! I am simply a Voice crying in the Wilderness “Prepare the Way of the LORD! Make straight in the desert a Highway for our God.” Isaiah 40:3 Whoever has ears to hear will hear what God is saying in this hour!
I have been sent to sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; to purify the sons of Levi (the ministers and musicians in particular), and to purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer to Hashem an offering in Righteousness according to the specifications of God’s Torah.
“Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasant to the LORD, as in the days of old, as in former years.” Malachi 3
“Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for War! Wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near, let them come up!” Yoel 3:9
“The LORD shall go forth like a Mighty Man; He shall stir up His zeal like a Man of War. He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud; He shall prevail against His enemies!” Yeshayahu 42:13
This is the Blueprint from Heaven on how Israel is to defeat her enemies: In the words of Yehoshafat Hamelech:
“Hear me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Believe in the LORD your GOD, and you shall be established; believe His Prophets, and you shall prosper!” And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the LORD, and who should praise the Beauty of Holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: “HODU L”ADONAI KI L”OLAM CHASDO / Give Thanks to the LORD For His Mercy endures forever!” Now when they begin to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah and they (the enemies of Judah) were defeated!” Divrey HaYomin bet/ 2 Chronicles 20:20-22
“In that Day it shall be said to Jerusalem: “Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak. Hashem your God is in your midst, the Mighty One/GIBOR will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.” Zephaniah 3:16-17
“Behold, at that time I will deal with all who afflict you; I will save the lame, and gather those who were driven out; I will appoint them for praise and fame in every land where they were put to shame. At that time I will bring you back, even at the time I gather you; for I will give you fame and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I return your captives before your eyes,” says the LORD.” Zephaniah 3:19-20
“I will sing to the LORD, for He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and the rider He has thrown into the sea! The LORD is my Strength and Praise Song, and He has become my Salvation; He is my God, and I will praise HIM; my father’s God, and I will exalt HIM. The LORD is a Man of War / Ish Milchama; ADONAI is His name.” Exodus 15:1-3
“And My Name is blasphemed continually every day. Therefore my people shall know My Name; therefore they shall know in that day that I AM HE Who speaks: ‘Behold, it is I.’ ‘How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings Good News, who proclaims Peace, who brings good tidings of good things, who proclaims Salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God Reigns!” Your watchmen shall lift up their voices, with their voices they shall sing together; for they shall see eye to eye when the LORD brings back ZION. Break forth into JOY, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem! For the LORD has comforted His people, He has redeemed Jerusalem. The LORD has made bare His Holy Arm in the eyes of the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the Salvation of GOD.” Isaiah 52:5b-10
THE REVELATION OF THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB!
See VaYikra/Leviticus 16-17! “For the life of the flesh is in the Blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it the Blood that makes atonement for the soul.” According to the Blueprint of Torah there is NO remission or removal of sin without the shedding of blood of a Corban/Sacrifice that God Himself chooses! He gave Moshe rabbeinu exact instructions as to what’s acceptable to bring before HIM as a sacrifice because He is HOLY! Without the Corban we cannot draw near to Hashem because our Sin separates us from HIM! And we cannot enter into the Holy of Holies, the deeper things of God without proper Sanctification which is by way of BLOOD! No amount of Yoga or Kabbala or New Age or the use of any other mediums, witchcraft forbidden by Torah could ever get us close to the One True God because He cannot violate His own Eternal Torah/Instruction on how to draw near to HIM! He is HOLY and does NOT change!
“Behold, Hashem’s Hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; and your sins have hidden His Face from you, so that he will not hear.” Isaiah 59:1-2
Torah shows us clearly that there can be no Avodat Hashem/Service of God without shedding of blood and sprinkling of blood on the Cohanim, the Levites, on their garments and on all the vessels used in the service of God, and as well as on all the people of Israel! In other words one cannot be in the INNER Presence of God/the Holy Shechinah without the shedding of Blood!
Though Hashem has personally chosen me to draw near to HIM and to dwell in His Holy Courts, I still had to go by Way of the Blood of the Corban of His choosing, YESHUA Who is the Atonement for all our sins; even though He knows me by name and had planned my destiny from before the world began, and wrote it in the Book, I had to become sanctified/M’kadesh to do His will through the shed Blood of His chosen Corban Moshiach! YESHUA! BARUCH HASHEM!
EXODUS 12
One cannot passover from Death to Life without first applying the Blood of the Lamb in their lives! This is God’s Blueprint according to the Torah! The sages even wrote that during the time of the Exodus, those who didn’t heed Moses’ instructions to apply the blood on their doorposts perished because they rebelled against Moshe and against God’s Way! And they were apparently consumed by the angel of Death! Well, I’ve been sent to spiritually and prayerfully apply the Blood of the Lamb on the hearts and lives, and cities and towns of Israel in order to preserve lives! When the Death Angel comes to destroy once again, our only protection will be the BLOOD of the Corban Moshiach! Mark my words!
The Angel of Death, HaSatan, the Evil inclination all act as one and is the same being who is very real and comes solely to destroy, to steal, and to kill those most precious to Hashem, who were created in His image! Who is most precious to God than Israel?
One MUST have Power over Death through the shed Blood before one can even begin to crossover and enter into Hashem’s true Eternal Promises and fully partake in our inheritance in this world and in the Glorious World to come! The Messianic Age!
I declare to you by the Authority of Heaven that the Holy One, YESHUA, Who came to manifest God in this world, was and is the Eternal, sinless Corban Moshiach, the Atonement for our sins, through Whom we have Power over Death so we may enter into our Eternal Destiny as a people and Nation! That is Hashem’s Way! Whether we agree with it or rebel against it doesn’t change the Truth of it! Hashem’s truth will endure forever! But we should seek Hashem with all our hearts for the revelation of this Truth in our own individual lives for own sake, for the sake of our nation’s destiny, and that of our children! This is the chosen generation destined to enter into and fully possess the Promised Land, and it’s not just the physical Eretz Israel and all that entails, but it is a position, a place of BEING in GOD, our true Inheritance!
Just like in the Wilderness, the rebellious generation did not enter in, but the generation whom God had chosen, who were not part of the rebellion did enter, but under a whole new leadership. Moshe was NOT able to bring us into our promised Land and destiny, for Moshe himself could not go in; but it took another chosen leader, Yehoshua, who is a prophetic picture of Yeshua, who would eventually bring us in to fully possess our inheritance! Could that be a prophetic picture of what is to take place in the latter Days? Selah!
I’ve heard several say to me, even a young rabbi recently, “Well even if YESHUA is Who He is, there is no place for him here in this Yeshiva,” to which I became silent and shuddered inside as Heaven registered what was just said to me, Hashem’s witness! All I can say to that is “Hashem, please forgive them for they can’t possibly know what they are saying!” So in other words, we, as the People of the Book, don’t care if this is true, we simply won’t accept it, and we will become our own “god” and blindly decide what will work for us as a people or not! That, my friends, is gross IDOLATRY, worse than the Golden Calf! Beware of this gross prideful attitude and repent before it’s too late! Let us humble ourselves and fear GOD for He is Holy and He will have mercy on us all! He is, after all, the Keeper of the Covenant and of Mercy / Shomer HaBrit V’HaChessed. He is releasing awesome revelation in this hour and knowledge is increasing as was prophesied and will fill the earth as waters cover the sea! No one will be able to run from it! We all will have to come to a personal decision one way or another, sooner or later about what’s being revealed! I implore you: Choose well! Choose LIFE!
“Come, and let us return to the LORD; for He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight. Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth.” Hosea 6:1-3
I understand that we’ve been victims of gross hatred, and killings of the worse kinds, oftentimes by the so-called “Church” if not in the actual doing but in her silence became an accomplice of the crimes committed against the children of Israel but these were imperfect people, flesh and blood who were greatly deceived by the same Evil one who has deceived all of us one way or another; and we must choose to release forgiveness in order to fully enter into our own destiny as VICTORS, and a Mamlechet Cohanim/ a Kingdom of Hashem’s ministers in true Avodat Hashem, and be a Holy Nation! And this is the generation to do it! It’ll take great Strength and great Grace and Anointing to do so but Hashem will grace us with whatever we need to move forward! It’s time we take what’s rightfully ours! The nations have paganized something very Jewish! HaB’sorah is a Hebrew Gospel, a very Jewish Gospel to save all the world! Just as Yosef was hidden in the Egyptian garbs, so YESHUA has been hidden under a Greek name, and pagan dress! And the time has come for Him to reveal Himself to His Brethren! And for His Brethren to humbly receive HIM! And hopefully Judah will be quick to repent once again for the sake of all Israel! L’Chaim! L’Chaim!
“And on Mount Zion (in Jerusalem) there shall be (great) Deliverance; and there shall be Holiness; the House of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” Ovadiah verse 17!
So “Today if you will hear His Voice: Do NOT harden your hearts, as in the rebellion, as in the day of trial in the wilderness, when your fathers tested Me; they tried me, though they saw My work. For forty years I was grieved with that generation, and said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts, and they do not know My ways.’ So I swore in My wrath, ‘They shall not enter My Rest.’ ” Psalm 95:7-11
Now practically 50 times 40 has passed, about 2,000 years, and we’ve without the Temple / Beit HaMikdash, without Avidat Hashem, without the Shechinah, the Presence of God dwelling in our midst! And the only way to get to there is through humility, forgiveness, unity and love! Have you ever considered that this very present threat to divide the holy city of Jerusalem by the governing powers in Israel and America could be a mirror picture of how we Jews are divided amongst ourselves spiritually, physically and emotionally! Jew opposes Jew because of differences in the way we worship or NOT worship! It’s like that even in Borough Park, Brooklyn! I’ve witnessed it myself! Where is the Grace and the brotherly love? Maybe Heaven is given us a mirror picture of ourselves through this dilemma! So as it goes with the Jews amongst themselves; so goes the holy City Jerusalem!
But if we, put our differences aside, and unite as Echad B’Yachad, then Jerusalem shall NOT be divided! Selah! See Psalm 133!
“Keep JUSTICE, and do RIGHTEOUSNESS for My Salvation is about to come; and My RIGHTEOUSNESS to be revealed. Blessed is the man who does this thing and the son of man who lays hold on it; who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and keeps his hands from doing any evil.” Isaiah 56:1-2
In the Beit HaMikdash of old there were sin offerings being offered by the Cohanim on behalf of the Goyim, 70 offerings I believe during Succot to cover all the nations of the world! So if we cannot forgive the sins of the nations against us now and even forgive GOD for allowing those things to take place for His sovereign holy purposes, and if we don’t learn to let go of all the bitterness now; how then will we be able to function as Cohanim to the world in the Third Temple when GOD raises it and builds it up again? That would be hypocrisy and unacceptable offerings in the sight of God! We have to deal with our heart issues now! We have to release them of their sins against us and walk in the likeness of God Who is merciful and slow to anger, and quick to forgive! It doesn’t mean that God won’t judge their wickedness, for He is a just Judge; He will repay everyone accordingly; but by forgiving, we would free ourselves and be released to serve Hashem in true liberty B’Simcha/with JOY!
For just like Aharon built a Golden Calf so we too have built a Golden calf one way or another, and we too have rejected the ways of Hashem and have tried to replace His ordinances and statutes with many empty traditions and religious activities! There is so much to contemplate before we can actually see Hashem in all of this and align ourselves with HIM with Heaven’s Blueprint to merit the world to come, the Messianic Age! Let us not harden our hearts while there is still time! I implore you my beautiful brothers and sisters, walk in the Grace that Hashem has promised us though Zechariah in chapter 12! Grace for grace! Grace towards one another! Grace to see God’s Handywork! Grace to grow in Hashem’s Love! Take all of this in sincere prayer to Hashem Who infinitely loves you and will not turn anyone away who sincerely seeks HIM! EVER! “For truly GOD is good to Israel, to such as are pure in heart.” Psalm 73:1
“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of Grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for HIM as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn.” Zechariah 12:10
“On that day I will raise up the Tabernacle of David/Succat David, which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old; that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the Nations who are called by My Name, ” says the LORD Who does this thing.” Amos 9:11-12
“For thus says the LORD of Hosts: “Once more, it is a little while, I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this Temple/House with Glory,’ says the LORD of hosts. ‘The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine,’ says the LORD of Hosts. The Glory of this Latter Temple/House shall be greater than the First one,’ says the LORD of Hosts. “And in this Place I will give Peace,’ says the LORD of Hosts!” Haggai 2:6-9
“Speak to Zerubbabel, Governor of Judah, saying: “I will shake heaven and earth. I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms; I will destroy the strength of the Gentile kingdoms. I will overthrow the chariots and those who ride in them; the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother. ‘In that day,’ says the LORD of hosts, ‘I will take you, Zerubbabel My servant, the son of Shealtiel,’ says the LORD, ‘and will make you like a signet ring; for I have chosen you,’ says the LORD of hosts/Adonai Ts’vaot!” Haggai 2:21-23
“Then speak to him, saying, ‘Thus says the Master of Legions, saying: “Behold, the Man Whose Name is the BRANCH/TZEMACH! From His Place He shall branch out, and He shall build the Temple of the LORD; yes, He shall build the Temple of the LORD. He shall bear the Glory, and shall sit and rule on His Throne; so He shall be a Cohen on His Throne, and the Counsel of Peace shall be between them both.” “Even those from afar shall come and build the Temple of the LORD. Then you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you. And this shall come to pass if you diligently obey the Voice of the LORD your God.” Zechariah 6:12-15
GAN EDEN / THE GARDEN OF EDEN
Adam and Chava (Eve) were cast out of the Garden for disobeying one little instruction! All it takes to miss out on Hashem’s perfect will is to disobey one of His instructions! Look what happened to even Moshe rabbeinu, the most humble of men! We are all craving to go back to Gan Eden. Everywhere I go I hear beautiful Jews talking or singing about Gan Eden! That’s Great! Because it is Hashem’s will to restore us back to Gan eden and to HIMSELF as it was in the beginning of Creation, walking with HIM in the Cool of the day! But remember the only Way to come back to the Garden is through the same Gate Adam and Chava exited the Garden from, which ever since has been guarded by the Angel of the LORD with the SWORD flashing back and forth. The Second ADAM, perfect and sinless is HIMSELF the WAY, the Door through which we may re-enter the Garden! And we must follow in His footsteps to Righteousness! ADONAI TSIDKENU!
So let’s recap, since the Fall of Adam, an Angel has been placed at the gate of Eden with a flashing Sword to guard the Way back in! What is this Sword and why a Sword of all things? It’s the Sword of Truth, and the only way to enter the Garden is to get cut, bruised and circumcised by this Sword, this Truth! There must be a death, a cutting away of the old, a circumcision of the heart before you can enter into LIFE! The Sword will pierce our own souls, and separate Light from darkness, and separate between the firmaments and waters of our lives as in Genesis 1, bringing forth fruit, multiplication and dominion! Such is what lies before us as a nation before we can boldly enter into LIFE! A total Bitul/Surrender is needed, a death to ourselves, to our pride, to what we’ve been taught or mis-taught over the Centuries, a death to our own thoughts and ways, a death to lies we’ve believed as truth, making room for God’s thoughts and Ways, and God’s Truth which endures forever! Truth is Eternal! Nothing will EVER change that! We have all inherited some lies one way or another! All of us! The whole world! The Church, Judaism! No exceptions! But it is now time to discard them all and walk in Liberty that TRUTH brings! The Spirit of Truth will always prevail over every lie! Just desire Truth in your heart and it’ll flood your souls and bring you to FREEDOM like you wouldn’t believe! But you must believe! Wrestle with God with all this! Be FREE! Serve Hashem with JOY!
There is One WAY to Gan Eden, and the Messenger of the Covenant is sent to refine the sons of Levi as silver is refined and he’ll make sure we know the Truth that is able to set us free to enter into LIFE! But first He must kill you and me with the Sword of TRUTH! Killing us “softly with his songs!” I bless us all to have a holy, kosher, liberating, and happy Pesach/Passover this year and enter into LIFE! GOD loves us so much O Israel, His Covenant People! If only we could comprehend the depth of HIS LOVE! Rejoice! Geulah/Redemption comes! Shalom Aleichem! Love, love!
Declaration
Behold I, who by faith sit and eat Bread before the LORD even now, whose part also shall be to give burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings, at the Feasts, the New moons, the Sabbaths, and at all the appointed seasons of the House of Israel in the Beit haMikdash, I declare to you by the Spirit of YHVH, all that I’ve written here to you is Emet/Truth according to the written Word of God, as it’s been revealed to me by the Spirit of Truth! God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is my Witness!
“Thus says the LORD God: “No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter My Sanctuary/Mikdash, including any foreigner who is among the children of Israel.” Ezekiel 44:9
“All the people of the Land shall give this offering for the Prince in Israel. Then it shall be the Prince’s part to give burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings, at the feasts, the New Moons, the Sabbaths, and at all the appointed seasons of the House of Israel. He shall prepare the sin offering, the grain offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings to make atonement for the House of Israel.” Ezekiel 45:16-17
There’s lots to learn! We need all the help that we can get! Beit HaMikdash will soon be built with God’s help!
“Blessed is the Man you choose, and cause to approach You, that He may dwell in Your courts. We shall be satisfied with the Goodness of Your House, of Your Holy temple!” Psalms 65:4
God’s been speaking to me a lot from Psalm 72 as well. I believe I am called to prophetically walk in the likeness of the King’s son of Psalm 72, walking in the likeness of the KING, who will judge His people with Righteousness, and the poor with Justice, bringing justice to the poor of the people; the one who will save the children of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor with the WORD of the LORD!
I may not understand it all right now but may I always be one whose heart overflows with a good theme who recites his composition which concerns the KING, and may my tongue be as the pen of a ready writer for God’s Glory! Amen! Psalm 45!
I am a forerunner of the KING, and a friend of the Chatan/Bridegroom, sent to prepare His Bride, Am Yisrael for His COMING! And He has placed His Name and His Hand on me! Let us all leave behind our own Eretz Mitzraim/mindset this year and enter in the JOY of Hashem! So help us O God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob!
“You will arise and have mercy on Zion; for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come!” Psalm 102:14 (in Heb)
“I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you to me in Righteousness and Justice, in kindness, and mercy. I will betroth to Me with Fidelity or Faithfulness and you shall know YHVH.” Hosea 2:19-20
“Behold, I send a Messenger before you to keep you in the Way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. Beware of Him and obey His Voice; do not provoke Him, for He will not pardon your transgressions; for My Name is in Him. But if you indeed obey His Voice and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.” Shmot/Exodus 23:20-22
Shalom Aleichem!
With much Love/Ahava, I greet you O Beloved of Hashem! Shalom UVracha!
