Elah

The time of this writing is on the 46th Day of Enoch’s Calendar, which was given to him by direct revelation from the Messenger Uriel. The 46th Day is also the Seventh Day or Sabbath of the Week and last Day of the Third Week in the Feast of Weeks. We are now marching through, Day by Day and Week by Week, the Seven Weeks of the Festival. When the Weeks are complete, the very next Day after the Seven Weeks is the 75th Day of the Year and the 15th Day of the third Month.

It is called the Feast of First-fruits …

Many of you, some readers and others not, have been searching this blog for information about the “special” year 5769, what makes it special, and does that have any cause for concern on your part.

First, according to the Jewish lunar calendar, their new year starts on the sunset of September 30 and continues through the sunset of October 1. The interesting fact, to them at least, is that that day is also the fourth day of the week on their calendar. The fourth day for those who know Genesis 1, is the day when the sun, moon, and stars were set for “signs and appointed times, and for days and for years,”

However, the fourth day of Genesis has been known forever as the time of the vernal or spring equinox, and not the autumnal or fall equinox. So the “fourth day of creation” in the fall on the lunar calendar is only a mathematical/astronomical event that happens periodically.

Yet this is a special time of prayer and spiritual closeness in the minds of those who follow the lunar calendar.

But …

The last or seventh assembly of people has been called out to receive spiritual knowledge and to receive the promises for overcoming their dangerous situation. All of the messages to the seven assemblies are not only age transcending but also “end time” or, more exactly for our time: the end of the seventh age. These called-out people have existed in every generation from the time of Adam!

[First] [Prior] [Next]

The time is at hand during which all who are among the called-out ones must act quickly to change any of their unprofitable works into works of righteousness. This Bible study shows that this last assembly could apply to millions of people or to only thousands. These are the people of Laodicea.

Even though these are names of congregations found cities in Asia Minor during the time John was told to write down the words of the Book of Revelation, means little to us. The words spoken to each are far more important than any meaning applied to a name, except “Philadelphia ” (a love for the brothers), which seems to fit the works of the “loners.”

In the prior post in this Bible study series I referred to the “congregation of Satan” who said they were “Jews” but lied. The most fitting application of that turned out to be the followers of Herbert W. Armstrong who out of necessity created the Worldwide Church of God. It appears as though their intentions may have been “pure” in their own eyes, but their, works, particularly of the ministry, showed otherwise.

Does this group belong to any of the assemblies of Revelation chapters two and three?

The last two assemblies or groups of called-out people are probably the most well-known and the least understood. In the previous posts on the promises to overcomers, I wrote how all the problems that threatened the people were spiritual and caused by religions.

[First] [Prior] [Next]

In this Bible study we will see those who remained unaffected by religion and those who created their own. Remember all groups or assemblies of people written about in chapters two and three of the Book of Revelation consist of people who had received the call. But again, “Many are called.”

Why someone would want to create their own religion is not a big mystery. The biggest reason is because they don’t want to have anything to do with the religions that afflicted the other groups. Their eyes may have been opened to the problems of the other groups. But instead of moving into truth, they adopted traditions and practices from sources unknown to the other groups or assemblies, and made those their own. To quote the SNL Church Lady, “How convenient!”

Looking around to see how others “worship” and adopting their ways has been and still is the biggest step to creating a nation doomed to spiritual failure. The Unites States and all of Western civilization are nations that have done that.

The most difficult task is to become humble as a person and as a nation and learn the truth by obtaining the spiritual connection with Elah [God] and Eyahuwah the One called LORD in the scriptures. In other words, returning to the righteousness of our fathers, from Adam, through Enoch Noah and his sons, the fathers of all who live today, and through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, if you can call them your fathers. Then you will learn the truth; your life will be changed; your future will be assured; and you will fear nothing. This is true for individuals. It is true for nations.

The end of the age prophecies proclaim one thing: either you overcome the world now, or the world will be taken from you and replaced by a world run by the Overcomers. In other words, if you are an Overcomer, you are entitled to receive a promise of sovereignty and eternal life.

[Previous] [Next]

It is hard to imagine, but the prophecies of Scripture show that the next age, the eighth of Enoch’s vision, will be unlike anything humanity has ever experienced. Mankind has never lived during a time of right-ruling. There have been brief times in the history of the nation of Israel, when the kings and priests came close to ruling with righteousness, such as, during the time of King David, but even that time had its problems and failures.

In this Bible study series we will learn that the world and all the stuff in it, that existed from Adam to the time of the end of our age, the place we call “home” and get “goose-pimples” over, will cease to be: nations will lose their leaders; religions will be destroyed; educational systems will cease; entertainment industries will be shut down. Anything that we know of in this world will collapse around us. Those who proved that they could not overcome the world will find that the world that overcame them will no longer exist.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that the “world” means the earth. The “world” is not the product of the earth. The “world” has been created by the people over millennia. It doesn’t represent the best that the people can do. The idea that “every day and in every way, we are getting better and better” is not true. Thinking that we have evolved to the point that we are “enlightened” and “we now know better” is form of insanity. “This is not the 90s, when we were dumb.” This is the 21st century when we got “dumberer“! That should be obvious if you watch TV and pay attention to the news.

The primary definition of “world” from Merriam Websters Collegiate Dictionary, 10th Edition is “the earthly state of human existence.” That “state” is what we “love” or “hate” about our life. And that is what is going to change beginning now and continuing to the next age.

This is what Eyahuwah of armies, the Almighty says:

In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Delight of all nations, and I shall fill this House with esteem. The silver is Mine and the gold is Mine. Let the esteem [high regard] of this House be greater than the former. And in this place I give peace. Haggai 2

Nothing that we have ever known or experienced throughout the entire span of human life to this day will be viewed with the profound high regard and praise for the world that is about to come.

Who then will be the rulers at that time? Will it be ruled by angels, as some think? From where will these come?

In the Book of Revelations they are given a “new” name: The Overcomers.

The first of the seven seals, when opened, unleashed a very powerful force upon the people of earth.

And I looked and saw a white horse, and he who sat on it holding a bow. And a crown was given to him, and he went out overcoming and to overcome. 6:2 (The Scriptures)

Many assume that this must refer to “Jesus” and in that they are partly right. It appears to be a “Jesus” but it is not One who is Trustworthy and True, who has many crowns and comes to smite the nations described in Revelation 19.

This single-crowned one is a deceiver, a conqueror of the people with a religious message about “Jesus.” This one overcomes or conquers the people with a “Christian” message not taught by either Eyahushuah or the apostles and prophets.

“Multitudes will come in My Name claiming that I am the Messiah and will deceive the masses.” Matthew 24:5 (from the Greek)

As a consequence of unleashing this powerful force upon the world, many have been overcome.

Is not the world supposed to be “saved” by “Jesus”?

Yes, but not by the “Jesus” around which so many many religions have been created. The Christian churches are founded upon the teachings of Paul, the Pharisee. He preached “another Jesus” but he also accused the apostles of doing the same, that is, Paul accused them of preaching a “Jesus” and a “gospel” that was different from what he taught. The apostles did not consider Paul to be an authority, and they did not preach Paul’s message, and they did not recognize his claim of apostleship.

Peter said, regarding the position that opened up after Judas hanged himself, “May another take his place of leadership.” (A quote from Psalm 109.)

And then according to the book of Acts, Peter went on to say:

Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who has been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from John’s baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must be a witness with us of his resurrection. Acts 1:21-22 NIV

Paul had none of these qualifications, although he claimed to have been a witness to Jesus’ resurrection. He wrote, “last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.” To back up this claim, Paul had Jesus quote from the Greek poets! Also there were no witnesses to Paul’s experience, although he gave contradictory statements regarding his supposed witnesses to his “epiphany.”

The world will be saved only by the One whose name is “The Word of Eyahuwah.” Rev 19:13, John 1. Is this a mystery?

Why allow deception?

The answer is directly tied to the ultimate role that will be identified with the overcomers. For that we must start at the beginning of the Book of Revelation where the foundation is built. From The Scriptures translation, the book starts:

Revelation of Eyahushuah the Messiah, which Elah have Him to show His servants what has to take place with speed. And He signified it by sending His messenger to His servant Yohanan (John). 1:1

The revelation is not John’s revelation, but rather the revelation given to Eyahushuah the Messiah, (Chosen and Anointed One) from Elah. Also the revealed events were to begin very quickly.

Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and guard what is written in it, for the time is near.

John, to the seven assemblies that are in Asia, Favor to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is coming, and from the seven Spirits that are before His throne, and from Eyahushuah the Messiah, the trustworthy witness, the first-born from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has made us kings (sovereigns) and priests to His Elahim (Family) and Father (Elah).

The last paragraph is usually glossed over with a statement like “Yes, yes. We know all about this.” But there are several things said here that are thematic to the entire Revelation.

The One “who is and who was and who is coming,” is not the one we all Jesus. We will find out just who this One is and why His coming is so important and why this Revelation is about everything that must be done between now and that event. This distinction is made clear in this context. Notice that Eyahushuah is separated from “Him who is and who was and who is coming” by “the seven Spirits” acknowledgment. That, Eyahushuah (”Jesus”) and He “who is, was and is coming,” are two different Entities is important in understanding the Book of Revelation. And why we must act now to prepare for this change. The only way to do that is to become an overcomer!

After the seventh trumpet sounds these things are proclaimed:

“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Messiah (chosen and anointed One), and He shall reign for ever and ever.”

And the twenty-four elders sitting before Elah on their thrones fell on their faces and worshipped Elah, saying

“We give thanks to You, Lord Elah Almighty, who is and who was, because You have taken Your great power and have begun to reign. The nations were angry and Your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding Your servants the prophets and Your set-apart ones and those who reverence Your name, both small and great — and for destroying those who destroy the earth.”

Again, two Entities are mentioned. This has always been a troubling phrase in Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus” from The Messiah. But it means what it says. It identifies who is in charge of what is about to happen. The Book of Revelation from Elah and given to Eyahushuah makes a clear distinction between the two from beginning to end — something that has been overlooked until now.

In chapter 11:17 some eager translator or scribe must have thought that the phrase “who is coming” was accidentally left out and added it and therefore it appears in some translations. But this was not the correct thing to do as the phrase “who was and who is” is correct and the context declares why. The Westcott and Hort Greek text did not even mention a “who is coming” phrase and documented that the only alternate rendering of that phrase is the word “and” between “was” and “because”: “who is and who was, [and] because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign.” (NIV)

At the time of the end of the seventh age, One, Elah, is taking control of the affairs on earth and will continue to rule for ever and ever — throughout all ages to come. So at the instant this happens, it is no longer appropriate to say “who is and who was and who is to come” because the third part will have been fulfilled. There is no future “who is to come.” Then and forever after, it is only correct to say “who is and who was!”

This then is a time of great reward for those who overcame the world, before its systems are rendered null and void.

Enoch wrote (Chapter 1):

The Holy Great One [Elah] will come forth from His dwelling, and the Eternal Elah will tread upon the earth, and shall appear from His camp and appear in the strength of His might from the heaven of heavens. And all shall be smitten with fear, and the Watchers shall quake, and great fear and trembling shall seize them to the ends of the earth. And the high mountains [great nations] shall be shaken, and the high hills [small nations] shall be made low, and shall melt like wax before the flame. And the earth shall be wholly rent in sunder, and all that is upon the earth shall perish [governments, institutions, religions, politics, isms, causes, traditions, interpretations, etc]. And there shall be judgment upon all Mankind.

But with the righteous He shall make peace, and will protect the chosen, and mercy shall be upon them. And they shall all belong to Elah, and they shall be prospered, and they shall all be blessed. And He will help them all, and light shall appear to them, and He will make peace with them.

And behold, He comes with ten thousands of His holy ones to execute judgment upon all, and to destroy all the ungodly, and to convict all flesh of all the works of their ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.

To look to the future through the fogginess created by the deceivers has now become more deadly than ever. We have this time to overcome the world and its “things” and make certain now that we are ready to enter an even greater life than we can imagine. This is a time for “casting away!” From Ezekiel 18:

The Master Eyahuwah says:

“And the House of Israel [an archetype of humanity] have said, ‘ The way of Eyahuwah is not right.’ Are My ways not right, O House of Israel? Is it not your ways that are not right?

“Therefore I judge you, O House of Israel, every one according to his [or her] ways. Repent and turn back from your transgressions, and let not crookedness be a stumbling-block to you. Cast away from you all the transgressions by which you have transgressed, and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit. For why should you die, O House of Israel? For I have no pleasure in the death of one who dies. So turn back and live!”
