image2024.12.04 The Torah Dilemma – what exactly IS Torah?
Created by James on 12/22/2024 5:51:36 PM

Over a number of years I have had contact with various “Messianic” people who see themselves as “Torah Observant” and who correctly see Yahooshua {incorrectly Jesus} as Messiah [the Anointed One who was to come].  The question that arises is whether Torah Observance as in a formal study of texts and observance of texts is relevant in this age.  In saying this, while I have read the so-called “Old Testament” from Bereshith {Genesis} to Malaki {Malachi} over twenty times since I came to serve Father Yah intensely, Father has never impressed on me that I should become observant of some of those books at an intellectual / works level.


2024.12.04 The Torah Dilemma – what exactly IS Torah?

 

 

 

Over a number of years I have had contact with various “Messianic” people who see themselves as “Torah Observant” and who correctly see Yahooshua {incorrectly Jesus} as Messiah [the Anointed One who was to come].  The question that arises is whether Torah Observance as in a formal study of texts and observance of texts is relevant in this age.  In saying this, while I have read the so-called “Old Testament” from Bereshith {Genesis} to Malaki {Malachi} over twenty times since I came to serve Father Yah intensely, Father has never impressed on me that I should become observant of some of those books at an intellectual / works level.

 

Further, in 2001, Yah clearly stated to me that the Bible is NOT His Word, contains errors, and is only about 2.5% inspired.  So building too much on the Bible, whether the first Five Books of the Bible or the entire Bible, versus being led by the Spirit, is problematic.

 

 

The Old Covenant was Fulfilled through the Offering of Yahooshua

 

In considering this topic it is vital to understand that Yahooshua fundamentally changed the situation regarding the Torah:

 

MattihYahoo {Matthew} 27:45-53 “45 Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. 46 And about the ninth hour Yahooshua {Jesus} cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” that is, “My Beloved Mighty One {God}, My Beloved Mighty One {God}, why have You forsaken Me?”

 

47 Some of those who stood there, when they heard that, said, “This Man is calling for Elijah!” 48 Immediately one of them ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and offered it to Him to drink.

 

49 The rest said, “Let Him alone; let us see if Elijah will come to save Him.”

 

50 And Yahooshua {Jesus} cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit.

 

51 Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, 52 and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.”  Confirmed in Mark 15:33-38.

 

There are a number of key points here -- see the article “The miraculous planning of the death of Yahooshua – where, how and what” for an elaboration of many of these points:

 

  1. The rocks were rent, allowing the blood and water that flowed from the side of Yahooshua when his side was pierced with the spear to flow down onto the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant which had been hidden there by YiremeYahoo (Jeremiah) in 586 BC and discovered by Ron Wyatt in 1982 – refer article cited above.

 

  1. The Veil in the Temple was torn from Top to Bottom thereby revealing that the Most Set-Apart Place {Holy of Holies} was empty and the Ark of the Covenant was not there so that the High Priest was a fraud and the offering for Atonement of Sin was invalid.  Important to note that it was torn from Top to Bottom showing it was not done by human beings – thus Yah opened the way to relationship with Him to ALL Believers – this is vital to understand in the context of the discussion of Torah.

 

  1. Note also that the Spirit of Yah had to leave Yahooshua in order for him to die.

 

  1. Note also that since the two tablets of stone with the Ten Words (Ten Commandments) were in the Ark of the Covenant which was missing from the time of YirmeYahoo, this thereby opened the way for Yah to write the Commandments on the Hearts of Believers.

 

This passage is profoundly important to this discussion regarding the meaning of Torah and the relevance of Torah observance in the current age.

 

 

Torah keepers killed Yahooshua

 

In considering the life and death of Yahooshua it is also vital to understand that the people who called for the death of Yahooshua misinterpreted the Torah as they had it such that those who were strictly Torah observant were responsible for the death of  Yahooshua thereby terminating the terms of the Covenant through Moshe {Moses} and opening the way of the New Covenant through Yahooshua.  Thus, Yah REJECTED Torah observance in the strict intellectual sense when Yahooshua died!

 

 

About Torah Observance

 

Most of those who practice “Torah Observance” today subscribe to the view that the “Torah” relates to the five so-called “Books of Moshe {Moses}” – Bereshith {Genesis}, Shemoth {Exodus}, Wayyiqra {Leviticus}, Bemidbar {Numbers} and Debarim {Deuteronomy} which I will henceforth refer to as “the Five Books”.  Some of these people believe that the Five Books were all written by Moshe {Moses} before he died, including the portion at the end of Debarim which describes the death of Moshe and what happened immediately thereafter.

 

Note that the above does NOT mean that I am saying that people should not read the Five Books or the Bible diligently a few times and take notes and ask questions – I AM saying that deep intellectual study of the Five Books or the Bible as a whole is NOT appropriate and, is in fact, damaging!  And, particularly that memorising the Five Books or the Bible or any other book, including the Quran, is totally off the mark!

 

 

The 613 Mitzvot

 

Some of the people mentioned above, the most strictly Torah observant, also observe the 613 Mitzvot – 613 Laws deduced from the Torah by Rabbi’s and taught as a strict basis for getting into right standing with Yah see https://www.jmu.edu/dukehallgallery/exhibitions/2018-2019/the-613-mitzvot.shtml   It will be apparent that such a large number of rules requires substantial intellectual effort in order to engage, understand and apply with the consequence that those who take on this discipline are likely to be intellectually engaged with the book and NOT in tune with Yah’s Spirit.  

 

This is what Yahooshua was referring to in MattihYahoo 23:4 speaking of the Torah observant leaders, scribes, etcetera “For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.”

 

In my over 31 years (December 2024) of being led by the Spirit of Yah, Yah has strenuously kept me from having anything to do with the 613 Mitzvot bar being aware of their existence – Yah will NOT even let me read them!

 

In considering what follows keep in mind Hosea 4:6 “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten Torah {the law} of your Mighty One {God}, I also will forget your children.”  This paves the way for the coming of Yahooshua and the New Covenant.  Those who champion Torah Observance may take this as an injunction to study more deeply where, in fact, it is challenging people to return to deep knowledge and experience of the Almighty Himself.

 

 

Yah is Lonely and Making Adjustments

 

Note also that in the historical context, Yah is lonely and working with what He has to work with regarding human beings which has been increasingly weak and pathetic – the people today are far weaker spiritually than they were 3,600 years ago at the time of Moshe {Moses}.  As a consequence Yah has had to substantially and progressively redefine how He works with human beings.  These adjustments continue to today!

 

In considering the question of Torah in the present age it is important to evaluate exactly what is applicable today.

 

 

Torah In Hearts

 

In doing this note that Hebrews 10:16 states ““This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says Yah the Eternally Self Existing {the LORD}: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,”

 

The question arises which “laws” are being referred to.

 

It turns out that Hebrews 10:16 is quoting YirmeYahoo {Jeremiah} 31:33 “But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Yisrael {Israel} after those days, declares Yah the Eternally Self-Existing {the LORD}. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their Mighty One {God}, and they will be My people.

 

To a point this also references Ezekiel 36:26-27 “I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. / And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances.

 

 

Abraham and Torah

 

Genesis 26:5: “because that Abraham hath hearkened to My voice, and keepeth My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My Torah (laws).”  Clearly there is much in addition to the Torah in the way of Yah’s charge, Yah’s commandments and Yah’s statutes in addition to Yah’s Torah – so the Torah itself is apparently quite narrowly defined.  Note also that Abraham had the Torah over 500 years before Moshe so the Torah is clearly NOT the Five Books which almost entirely deal with the situation after Abraham.

 

 

What IS the Torah?

 

Examining YirmeYahoo 31:33 in the Interlinear Bible at  https://biblehub.com/interlinear/jeremiah/31-33.htm  we find that the word translated “Law” is Strongs number 8451 “Torah”, so Hebrews 10:16 states ““This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says Yah the Eternally Self Existing {the LORD}: I will put My Torah into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,””  So Hebrews 10:16 is referring to Torah.

 

This highlights the question of what IS the Torah {Law} being referred to here?  Strong’s Lexicon cited in Appendix A elaborates and Appendix B lists a few verses where Torah occurs.

 

From this we see a strong emphasis on the Torah being the Five Books as defined above but we also see an alternative interpretation that the Torah comprises the entire body of Jewish teaching, others say it includes all of the Old Testament .  Others say Torah encompasses the entire Christian Bible without specifying which Bible version they are referring to – the standard Protestant with sixty six books, the Catholic with Apocrypha, the Ethiopian with 88 books, there is a collection of Apocrypha with 54 books, etcetera. 

 

 

Torah is at best a Subset of the Five Books

 

Insofar as most of the Bible is simply history and Yah has said that “The Bible is NOT my Word and contains errors and is about 2.5% inspired” I submit that Torah is at best a subset of the Five Books and certainly NOT a superset.

 

I want to make a clear distinction between codified Law [Torah] and Jurisprudence (the theory of law or philosophy of law).  It is my contention that over and above the large portion of the Five Books that is straightforward history, a significant further part of the Five Books is Jurisprudence as defined above and NOT codified Law.

 

In fact, there is a very small part of the Five Books that constitutes “Law” in the sense of a structured setting out of specific rules for serving Yah.  The definition of Law in Google is “the system of rules which a particular country or community recognizes as regulating the actions of its members …” also “a rule of conduct developed by the government or society over a certain territory. Law follows certain practices and customs in order to deal with crime, business, social relationships, property, finance, etc. The Law is controlled and enforced by the controlling authority.”

 

A portion of the Five Books that complies with this definition is Leviticus 19 – problem is that at least some of Leviticus 19 is irrelevant today – see Appendix C.

 

There are also principles and jurisprudence that are relevant today, as set out on the End Time Issue Ministries website and elsewhere, that are important to living in right standing with Yah today that are NOT contained anywhere in the Five Books or even in the Protestant Bible.

 

 

Five Books are culture context sensitive

 

Note also that the Five Books are culture context sensitive – instructions about beards and the like reflect the culture of the tribes that the Israelites would be interacting with in the Promised Land and are not necessarily particularly relevant today.

 

 

Five Books equal Torah – some challenges

 

In the present age, there are some challenges if the Torah being referred to in Jeremiah 31:33 is the Five Books:

 

  1. What do people do who do not have access to the Five Books?  Access to Bibles or subsets of the Bible is NOT universal and yet Yah is calling ALL on Earth to serve Him and to write His Torah on their hearts.  Yah sent a number of Emissaries to the Gentiles.

 

  1. The Five Books is the most common interpretation with the variants noted above BUT there is a huge challenge here -- I have learned that when it comes to the matters of the Almighty THE MAJORITY IS ALWAYS WRONG.  The Satanic and Demonic Realm are in control of almost all people on Earth, including the vast majority of those who regard themselves as Believers, and, therefore, if the Satanic and Demonic Realm are allowing the definition of Torah to be the Five Books that indicates that there is an issue here.

 

  1. The Five Books cannot be the “Law of Moshe” cited in various places – there is lots of history in the Five Books which is clearly NOT Law in any shape or form.  So there MUST be some other body of Law!

 

  1. Deuteronomy 31:26 “Take this Book of the Law [Torah], and put it beside the ark of the covenant of Yah the Eternally Self-Existing your Mighty One, that it may be there as a witness against you;” – there is no indication that the Five Books were in existence at this time – much of the Five Books relates to events after Yah giving the two stone tablets at Mount Horeb – the implication is that the Torah referred to here was a much more concise and much more specific Law book which suggests that this book has gotten lost, at the very least at the time of the exile to Babylon.  I have asked Torah observant Believers to share a clearly legal document with me and this has not happened so I infer it does not exist in the present age and may have been ignored since shortly after the time of Moshe.

 

 

Yahooshua came to usher in a New Covenant but we must conform to the Old Covenant? -- I don’t think so

 

Yahooshua very clearly came to usher in a New Covenant (Hebrews 8:13), a New Priesthood (Hebrews 4:14-15) and a New Offering for Sin (Hebrews 10:6-8).  Yet, inherent in the concept of Torah observance IF Torah equals the Five Books, is adherence to the OLD Covenant terms and conditions.  There is an implicit assumption that Yahooshua did NOT change anything! 

 

  1. We are told that the New Covenant is to be written on the heart of Believers by the Set-Apart Spirit of Yah -- studying the Five Books at the expense of time on your knees and worshipping is therefore a major issue!

 

  1. There is important elaboration of the Ten Words on the End Time Issue Ministries website that is nowhere in the Five Books or, indeed the entire Protestant Bible – for example the teaching and prayers relating to people who come to Belief who have multiple one-flesh bonds with people who are not living with them.

 

  1. Inherent to the concept of “Torah in their hearts” -- IF one is deeply filled with the Set-Apart Spirit of Yah He will guide you – raises the question, HOW does one get deeply filled with the Set-Apart Spirit when one is engaged in an intellectual exercise of memorizing and interpreting a set of writings that are supposedly about 3,500 years old?  I say “supposedly” because there is a body of opinion that states that most of the writings were lost at the time of the Babylonian Exile and the Five Books and books up to the time of the Exile were recreated from fragments and memory in Exile.

 

Getting deeply filled with the Set-Apart Spirt of Yah requires regular worship coupled with reading anointed writings / listening to anointed teaching.  I see no indication that the Five Books are, for the most part, strongly anointed let alone inspired.  So, in-depth study of the Five Books is potentially an exercise in futility!

 

 

Where do the Ten Commandments (Ten Words), Written in Stone by Yah, fit in?

 

As a counterpoint to the above, the Five Books DO contain the Ten Commandments – the fundamental Laws of serving Yah that were given at Sinai and which are reported in Exodus 20:2-17 and nominally repeated in Deuteronomy 5:6-21 with differences.  This raises the question of why if the Five Books are the definitive setting out of the Law why was it necessary to repeat the Ten Commandments in the Five Books, particularly since there are minor discrepancies which should not be there IF the Five Books are fully inspired as some claim.  See red text in Appendix D highlighting differences between Exodus and Debarim.

 

Exodus 31:18, reporting about Moshe, states “And when He [Yah] had made an end of speaking with him [Moshe] on Mount Sinai, He gave Moshe two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone, written with the finger of Yah {God}.

 

Deuteronomy 9:10 “Then Yah the Eternally Self-Existing {the LORD} delivered to me two tablets of stone written with the finger of Yah {God}, and on them were all the words which Yah the Eternally Self-Existing had spoken to you on the mountain from the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

 

Note that the Tablets contained ALL the words spoken by Yah!  NOT the Five Books or, indeed, any other large body of writing!

 

1 Kings 8:9 “There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moshe put there at Horeb, when Yah the Eternally Self-Existing made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.”

 

Clearly the Ten Commandments (Ten Words) have an extremely special place with Yah – He spoke them out personally and distinctly, He carved them in Stone personally and He required them to be placed in the Ark of the Covenant as a witness for all time.  Yet they are hardly referenced throughout the rest of the Bible other than through references to Torah.

 

Could it be that the Ten Commandments ARE the Torah that we are required to comply with at all times and which are written on the hearts of True Believers?  I claim that Father Yah has told me this!

 

 

References to Law that have a bearing

 

Following are some Bible verses that have a bearing on the word “Law” or Torah, whatever that ultimately proves to be:

 

Romans 2:14 “Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15 So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them 16 on the day when Yah {God} will judge men’s secrets through the Anointing that was upon Yahooshua {Christ Jesus}, as proclaimed by my gospel.… Berean Standard Bible 

Cross References

Jeremiah 31:33
“But this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares Yah the Eternally Self-Existing {the LORD}. I will put My law in their minds and inscribe it on their hearts. And I will be their Mighty One {God}, and they will be My people.

Hebrews 10:16
“This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares Yah the Eternally Self-Existing {the LORD}. I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.”

2 Corinthians 3:3
It is clear that you are a letter from the Anointing of the Set-Apart Spirit of  Yah {Christ}, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living Mighty One {God}, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

James 1:23-25
23 For anyone who hears the word but does not carry it out is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror, 24 and after observing himself goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 25 But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so — not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer—he will be blessed in what he does.

John 8:9
When they heard this, they began to go away one by one, beginning with the older ones, until only Yahooshua {Jesus} was left, with the woman standing there. –  they left because they were convicted by the Set-Apart Spirit of Yah within them contrary to the letter of the Law which said to stone her to death!

1 John 3:20-21
20 Even if our hearts condemn us, Yah {God} is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things. 21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before Yah {God},

1 Corinthians 4:4
My conscience is clear, but that does not vindicate me. It is Yah the Eternally Self-Existing {the LORD} who judges me.

Galatians 3:24
So the law became our guardian to lead us to the Anointing of the Set-Apart Spirit of Yah {Christ}, that we might be justified by faith.

Acts 24:16
In this hope, I strive always to maintain a clear conscience before Yah {God} and man.

1 Timothy 1:5
The goal of our instruction is the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith.

Ezekiel 36:26-27
“26 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. 27 And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances.”  So the Set-Apart Spirit within Believers will cause them to comply with the Jurisprudence of the Torah

Deuteronomy 30:14
But the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it.

Isaiah 51:7
Listen to Me, you who know what is right, you people with My law in your hearts: Do not fear the scorn of men; do not be broken by their insults.

Psalm 40:8
I delight to do Your will, O my Mighty One {God}; Your law is within my heart.”

 

So we see a very substantial body of verses that relate to the Torah / Law being written on the hearts of Believers and moderating and directing them through their conscience.

 

Note particularly the corrections with regard to the word “Christ” correcting the verses to apply to the Set-Apart Spirit of Yah and NOT to Jesus!

 

I say again, this relates to people who are filled with the Set-Apart Spirit of Yah at a material level and have the Emunah {Faith / Trust} for Him to guide them.

 

 

The MattihYahoo 5:17-18 conundrum

 

Consider Matthew 5:17-18  Yahooshua speaking “17 Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. 18 For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.”

 

There is a key question here as to what Yahooshua is referring to, specifically the “Law”.  In terms of much of the Five Books in terms of the Levitical Priesthood, the Ark of the Covenant, the Tabernacle and all the ritual and protocols that accompany those physical artefacts Yahooshua literally fulfilled their purpose.  This is set out in detail in the article “The miraculous planning of the death of Yahooshua – where, how and what” where it is detailed how Yahooshua became the new High Priest, the new offering for sin and ushered in the New Covenant in terms of which the Torah was written on the hearts of True Believers.  Note that I refer to True Believers, NOT to wishy washy pagans pretending to be Believers.  There is a huge issue here that the majority of people who claim to be Believers are NOT True Believers!  There are about 1.5 million True Believers on Earth today (December 2024) and Billions of counterfeits.

 

Consider in particular Hebrews 4:14-16 “14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Yahooshua {Jesus} the Son of Yah {God}, let us hold fast our confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”  So the Levitical priesthood was replaced once and for all by Yahooshua so ALL elements of the Five Books dealing with the Priesthood were fulfilled by Yahooshua and therefore fall away.

 

In the broader context of this article consider Hebrews 4:11-13 “11 Let us therefore be diligent to enter that rest, lest anyone fall according to the same example of disobedience. 12 For the word of Yah is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.” – again we see that it is the Spirit of Yah that moderates and judges us NOT human beings or Law books.

 

 

Returning to the Five Books

 

Continuing the discussion of whether the Five Books constitute the Torah:

 

  1. The Five Books write about what Moshe {Moses} did they are clearly NOT written by Moshe although in some locations they quote what Moshe said.  Some claim that the Five Books were supposedly written by Moses which is clearly not true as the most superficial reading will reveal.

 

  1. Further, we are not glove puppets playing out our lives in some preorchestrated charade – this would be extremely unjust – Yah has clearly said to me that He does not know what I will do or say in one minutes lime let alone months or years from now.  We were designed to operate autonomously, independently and exercise our will and discretion in everything, the fact that we have turned out to be much more self-willed and foolish than Yah intended does not mean He plans our lives for us, WE are the ones who mess up! 

 

It is a gross insult to Yah in this messed up world to suggest that our lives are foreordained by Yah!  There have been specific instances where Yah set up an agenda with a spirit before sending it to Earth, as in the case most notably of Yahooshua, but this is by far the exception rather than the rule – we have to exercise our will and do what it takes to qualify for reward in Heaven of our own volition.

 

  1. The Torah supposedly also provides guidelines for compliance with the Laws of Yah, what I have referred to elsewhere as Jurisprudence.  Again, much of the Five Books is history and NOT Law and NOT Jurisprudence, so the Five Books cannot, in a strict sense, be Torah, that is, Law.

 

  1. Note that true “Law” is very specific, highly structured and definitive – most of the writings in the Five Books do NOT meet this requirement.

 

  1. Further, IF the Five Books are a book of Law, as many claim, it is clearly apparent from careful reading that the Five Books are not Law.  It is also apparent on careful reading that the individual books are made up of disjoint fragments and not one coherent statement of Laws and associated Jurisprudence.  It is contended that this results from reassembling fragments during the Exile in Babylon.

 

  1. As noted above, there ARE sections, primarily in Leviticus, that are moderately structured and take a form that can be regarded as Law but that is it.

 

  1. Further, as stated above, there is a significant portion of the Five Books that deals with:

 

  1. The Tabernacle

 

  1. The Ark of the Covenant

 

  1. The Priesthood

 

  1. The induction of the High Priest

 

  1. The offerings for repentance and Atonement for sin

 

  1. The institution of the Covenant

 

All these were fulfilled through the death of Yahooshua and replaced with a new and better Covenant – note Hebrews 8:13 “In saying, "new," He has made obsolete the first; and that which is growing old and aging is near vanishing.” – note “near vanishing” [disappearing, disappearance, obliteration]!  Also Hebrews 12:24 “and to Yahooshua the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkling of blood, speaking better things than that of Abel.”  

 

Note that the Blood of Yahooshua fell on the Mercy Seat of the Ark of the Covenant, see the article “The miraculous planning of the death of Yahooshua – where, how and what

 

  1. So we are left with the Ten Commandments and various verses which amplify the Ten as limited Jurisprudence, plus the Great Commandment, plus a limited amount of other Jurisprudence as elaboration, quite a bit of which is obsolete!

 

 

The True Torah is the Ten Commandments

 

So the best one can say is that true Torah as Law is made up of these last few items and even quite a few of these are set aside in the New Testament specifically the prohibition with regard to eating unclean animals is set aside in Acts 10:9-16 “9 The next day, as they went on their journey and drew near the city, Peter went up on the housetop to pray, about the sixth hour. 10 Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat; but while they made ready, he fell into a trance 11 and saw heaven opened and an object like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed animals of the earth, wild beasts, creeping things, and birds of the air. 13 And a voice came to him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat.”

 

14 But Peter said, “Not so, Adonay {Lord}! For I have never eaten anything common or unclean.”

 

15 And a voice spoke to him again the second time, “What Yah {God} has cleansed you must not call common.” 16 This was done three times. And the object was taken up into heaven again.”

 

There are other verses which confirm this.

 

 

The Shaul (Paul) credibility issue

 

Note that insofar as Hebrews in particular is attributed to Shaul {Paul} it is important to note that The Final Quest chapter 6 verses 129-232 reports Shaul seated on a very High Throne in Heaven so he is clearly esteemed by Yah and seeking to discount his teachings as some do is not valid.  This discounting is particularly done by people who have an intellectual engagement with the Five Books as formal Torah Law, something that Shaul corrected in a number of his writings as we have seen above – Shaul moved from being an intense Torah keeper to being highly Spirit Led and some Torah keepers find this offensive and speak ill of him.

 

Further there are all sorts of details in the Books of Good News {Gospels} of the so-called “New Testament” and attributed to Yahooshua that are not contained anywhere in the “Old Testament”  -- for example with regard to the woman caught in adultery, Yahooshua calls on those without sin to cast the first stone and all walk away (Yahoochanan {John} 8:11) – so Yahooshua adds a new context to the Jurisprudence regarding the Commandment regarding Adultery!

 

The Five Books also do not include numerous items of Jurisprudence that are contained on the End Time Issue Ministries website and in other publications by others led by the Spirt.

 

 

The ONLY Law written by Yah in person is the Ten Commandments – it makes sense that this is what He writes on the hearts of True Believers

 

Looping back to the discussion of True Torah we have to conclude that, since the Ten Commandments are the ONLY Law spoken out to the masses in person by Yah and carved by Him on Tablets of Stone, indicating they will never change, THIS constitutes TRUE TORAH and is the Torah that Yah writes on the hearts of True Believers!

 

 

The Mark of the Beast

Over and above the conclusion above, in around 2000 I was told by Father that the Mark of the Beast is a mark indicating that a person is breaking at least one of the Ten Commandments and that virtually the entire planet was carrying the Mark, see “The Mark of the Beast is breaking any of the Ten Commandments NOT the Microchip

 

Conclusion

Taking account of all the above I conclude that IF one is going to rely on a definition of Torah based on the Jewish Bible one must, of necessity, limit oneself to the Ten Commandments and Great Commandment and a limited amount of Jurisprudence  which is consistent with what i have been teaching by the Spirit for some years.

 

It is reasonable to expect any Believer who comes to relationship with Yah wherever they may be and in whatever society they live to live a life consistent with the Ten Commandments led by the Spirit.   However, this may take time given the level of error in all formal religions of the world today.  That said, it is my experience that when a True Believer, one who has the Commandments written on their heart, hears truth that they lack they very quickly accept it and course correct as necessary.

 

Conversely it is not reasonable to expect anyone to live a life that is governed by the Five Books let alone the additional 613 Mitsvot without massive intellectual study and memorization which totally takes them away from the Spirit Led relationship that Yah desires.

 

It is therefore my conclusion and declaration that the Torah prescribed by Yah and written on the hearts of True Believers is the Ten Commandments, no more and no less!

Appendix A

Strong's Lexicon definition of Torah

 

torah: Law, Instruction, Teaching

 

Original Word: תּוֹרָה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: towrah
Pronunciation: toh-RAH
Phonetic Spelling: (to-raw')
Definition: Law, Instruction, Teaching
Meaning: a precept, statute

Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרָה (yarah), meaning "to throw, shoot, or direct," often used in the context of teaching or instruction.

 

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G3551 - νόμος (nomos): Often used in the New Testament to refer to the Law of Moses or the broader concept of law and commandments.

 

Usage: The term "Torah" primarily refers to the first Five Books of the Bible, also known as the Pentateuch. It encompasses the laws, commandments, and teachings given by God to the people of Israel through Moses. In a broader sense, "Torah" can refer to the entire body of Jewish religious teachings, including both written and oral traditions. It is often translated as "law" but carries a deeper connotation of divine instruction and guidance for living a life pleasing to God.

 

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the Torah was central to religious, social, and legal life. It was considered the ultimate authority and guide for moral conduct, worship, and community governance. The Torah was read publicly and taught in synagogues, ensuring that its teachings were accessible to all. The giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai is a foundational event in Jewish history, symbolizing the covenant between God and His people.

Appendix C

Leviticus 19 as an example of codified Law in the Five Books

 

 

1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2“Speak to all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.

3‘Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father, and keep My Sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.

 

4‘Do not turn to idols, nor make for yourselves [a]molded gods: I am the Lord your God.

5‘And if you offer a sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord, you shall offer it of your own free will. 6It shall be eaten the same day you offer it, and on the next day. And if any remains until the third day, it shall be burned in the fire. 7And if it is eaten at all on the third day, it is an abomination. It shall not be accepted. 8Therefore everyone who eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the hallowed offering of the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from his people.

 

9‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. 10And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God.

 

11‘You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another. 12And you shall not swear by My name falsely, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.

 

13‘You shall not cheat your neighbor, nor rob him. The wages of him who is hired shall not remain with you all night until morning. 14You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shall fear your God: I am the Lord.

 

15‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty. In righteousness you shall judge your neighbor. 16You shall not go about as a talebearer among your people; nor shall you take a stand against the life of your neighbor: I am the Lord.

 

17‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely [b]rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him. 18You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.

19‘You shall keep My statutes. You shall not let your livestock breed with another kind. You shall not sow your field with mixed seed. Nor shall a garment of mixed linen and wool come upon you.

 

20‘Whoever lies carnally with a woman who is betrothed to a man as a concubine, and who has not at all been redeemed nor given her freedom, for this there shall be [c]scourging; but they shall not be put to death, because she was not free. 21And he shall bring his trespass offering to the Lord, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, a ram as a trespass offering. 22The priest shall make [d]atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the Lord for his sin which he has committed. And the sin which he has committed shall be forgiven him.

 

23‘When you come into the land, and have planted all kinds of trees for food, then you shall count their fruit as [e]uncircumcised. Three years it shall be as uncircumcised to you. It shall not be eaten. 24But in the fourth year all its fruit shall be holy, a praise to the Lord. 25And in the fifth year you may eat its fruit, that it may yield to you its increase: I am the Lord your God.

 

26‘You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying. 27You shall not shave around the sides of your head, nor shall you disfigure the edges of your beard. 28You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you: I am the Lord.

 

29‘Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry, and the land become full of wickedness.

 

30‘You shall [f]keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary: I am the Lord.

31‘Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God.

 

32‘You shall [g]rise before the gray headed and honor the presence of an old man, and fear your God: I am the Lord.

 

33‘And if a stranger dwells with you in your land, you shall not mistreat him. 34The stranger who dwells among you shall be to you as [h]one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

 

35‘You shall do no injustice in judgment, in measurement of length, weight, or volume. 36You shall have honest scales, honest weights, an honest ephah, and an honest hin: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.

 

37‘Therefore you shall observe all My statutes and all My judgments, and perform them: I am the Lord.’ ”

 

 

 

Appendix D

The Ten Commandments in Exodus and Deuteronomy compared

 

Red text indicates discrepancies between Exodus and Deuteronomy

 

 

Exodus 20:1 to 17

Deuteronomy 5:6-21

   

1And God spake all these words, saying,

 
   

2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

5At that time I was standing between the LORD and you to declare to you the word of the LORD, because you were afraid of the fire and would not go up the mountain. And He said: 6“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.

   

3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

7You shall have no other gods before Me.

   

4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; 6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

8You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in the heavens above, on the earth below, or in the waters beneath. 9You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on their children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 10but showing loving devotion to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.

   

7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

11You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not leave anyone unpunished who takes His name in vain.

   

8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the LORD your God has commanded you. 13Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 14but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God, on which you must not do any work—neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your manservant or maidservant, nor your ox or donkey or any of your livestock, nor the foreigner within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest as you do. 15Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. That is why the LORD your God has commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.

   

12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

16Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.

   

13Thou shalt not kill.

17You shall not murder.

   

14Thou shalt not commit adultery.

18You shall not commit adultery.

   

15Thou shalt not steal.

19You shall not steal.

   

16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

20You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

   

17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.

21You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house or field, or his manservant or maidservant, or his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”

   

Moses Comforts the People

Moses Intercedes for the People

(Deuteronomy 5:22-33; Hebrews 12:18-29)

(Exodus 20:18–21; Hebrews 12:18–29)

   
 

22The LORD spoke these commandments in a loud voice to your whole assembly out of the fire, the cloud, and the deep darkness on the mountain; He added nothing more. And He wrote them on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.

   

18And all the people saw the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the noise of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they removed, and stood afar off. 19And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear: but let not God speak with us, lest we die. 20And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before your faces, that ye sin not. 21And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

23And when you heard the voice out of the darkness while the mountain was blazing with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your elders approached me, 24and you said, “Behold, the LORD our God has shown us His glory and greatness, and we have heard His voice out of the fire. Today we have seen that a man can live even if God speaks with him. 25But now, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us, and we will die, if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer. 26For who of all flesh has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the fire, as we have, and survived? 27Go near and listen to all that the LORD our God says. Then you can tell us everything the LORD our God tells you; we will listen and obey.”

Prayer on realizing you have neglected the Creator

 

If you previously Believed but you have now realized that you have neglected the Creator and are headed for the Outer Darkness or, at best, a very low rank in the Throne Room, please pray along the following lines – note that belief in Jesus / Messiah / Yahooshua counts for nothing, it is belief in the Almighty Creator Yah the Eternally Self-Existing that matters:

 

Father Yah, in the name of  Yahooshua, I confess that while I once Believed I have largely ignored you and lived life as though you do not exist.  I recognize this as sin and repent now and confess my sin.  I ask you to forgive me.

 

“I now commit my life to You and I ask you to take me by the hand and lead me into deep relationship with you.

 

“I ask you to fill me with your Spirit and to change me and help me to become the person you want me to become.

The Almighty Creator Desires a DEEP Personal Relationship with YOU

 

If you die as an Unbeliever your spirit will live for a very long time as a disembodied Ancestor Spirit or Demon -- the Creator has said regarding Unbelievers "why would I want someone to spend Eternity with me when they do NOT Believe I exist?

 

If you die as a Believer without any form of relationship with the Creator you will end up in the Outer Darkness – a cold, black, terrible place with weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth (your teeth) – the trash heap of Heaven – Father has said concerning such Believers “why would I want someone to be close to me in Heaven, which inherently means I will give them great prestige and authority, if they do NOT have a deep personal relationship with me and have NOT proven to me that they can be trusted in this life?

 

In stark contrast -- IF you make a real effort to seek relationship with the Almighty the rewards in the Life to Come are HUGE – a glorious resurrected body, great prestige, great authority and a permanent close relationship with the Creator AND with Yahooshua {who you may mistakenly know as Yahooshua}

 

To put this all in context the Almighty has said "I created Human beings, this planet and this universe for men and women to be my Friends, my companions, to explore and learn and develop together, my greatest grief is that almost NO person understands this let alone seeks such a relationship with me!

Most Recent Broadcast – 2024.12.20 Friday 20th December 2024 -- The Power of Sumphoneo versus the Destructive Power of a Divided House

 

Summary: A critical principle that is little understood amongst Believers is the power of Sumphoneo (agreement / harmony / alignment) versus the destructive power of a divided  house.  A man I know well recently lost a massive contract in 24 hours as a consequence of dramatic division of his house that had been building for about six weeks.  So it seems important to share this as I see a lot of evidence of divided houses in people who communicate with me and are battling financially.

The Almighty Creator, Yah the Eternally Self-Existing, says: "It is time to choose -- will you be my friend, or my foe? -- there is NO middle ground!"
 
Yah says further:
 
"Ultimately THE AIM of this entire experiment is to find those who will make the sacrifices necessary to become My FRIENDS -- NOTHING is more important"
...
"A friend is one who is concerned about the well-being of the one they call friend and desires to treat that person as they would be treated -- HOW do you choose to treat Me?"
"True friendship is about what you can GIVE -- NOT what you can GET! -- what are YOU prepared to give Me (Yah)?"
"A true friend seeks to know ALL truth about the one whom they call friend AND to help others to know that truth -- Do YOU know the truth about me? Do YOU care?"
"In this age I (Yah) am MASSIVELY CONSTRAINED by the 'Rules of Engagement' in terms of what I can say and do EXCEPT through those true friends and true servants who will do the necessary work to KNOW my will AND proclaim it AND action it"
"There is NO greater love than that a man should lay down his life for his friend! -- Will YOU lay down your life for Me?"
"Technically a martyr is one who lays down their life for Me, NOT necessarily in physical death but also by sacrificing their comfort and well being in favour of doing MY will -- will you do ALL that it takes to serve Me and love Me as your friend, NO MATTER what it costs you? -- Will you be a martyr for Me by your way of living?"
"My true friends take time to spend quality time with Me daily and communicate with Me and consult Me constantly"
"Why Believe?
"Because if you do NOT you WILL find that when you die you are forced to serve and worship Satan for ever or at least until the day the winner of the 'The Contest' is adjudicated
"
"Realize that serving Satan after you die could be a really HORRIBLE experience, particularly IF you regard yourself as a GOOD person!"
"Imagine what it will be like as an ancestor spirit (demon) knowing the truth about the lies you believed and watching your loved ones making the same mistakes and believing the same lies that you believed and being unable to do anything about it!"
"Imagine what it will be like when you discover that you are irrevocably locked into the same dispensation that is behind the most barbaric and savage cultures on earth"
"IF you are a 'GOOD' person: when you die you may find yourself secretly hoping that Satan WILL lose 'The Contest' so that you can be cast into the Lake of Fire and utterly consumed in a moment of torment and terror, rather than being a participant in the progressive degradation of the human race into utter depravity, barbarism and perversion! -- and yet you will be POWERLESS to do anything about it!"
"The consequences of dying without a PROFOUND realization of my (Yah's) existence AND a DEEP life changing decision to serve Me is too ghastly to contemplate IF you take the trouble to REALLY understand the truth about the world you live in!"
"Imagine what it will be like to be a demon (ancestor spirit) riding on your favourite grandchild and watching them participate in the same empty rituals and mouthing the same meaningless platitudes that you practised during your life and being UNABLE to warn them of the terrible destiny that they are locking themselves into!"
"A person who reaches the end of their life as my TRUE FRIEND, one who has progressed from 'Wise Steward', to 'Good and Faithful Servant', to 'Overcomer' and ultimately to 'Friend' will receive rewards and authority of unimaginable splendour including a high throne, status and apparel that is far beyond anything that even the most powerful rulers on earth have ever dreamed of, let alone experienced -- contrast this with the other extreme -- an angry and depraved ancestor spirit (demon) desperately seeking favour in a kingdom where favour is a lesser level of torment and the right to exercise greater control and depravity over those less inclined to serve Satan and his Masterminds  wholeheartedly"
"Do YOU REALLY want to be part of a kingdom where the tortured murder of infants is regarded as one of the highest privileges of rank?"
"The evidence is ALL around you IF you have eyes to see -- the choice is CLEAR -- a Kingdom of beauty, love (chesed) and benign power or a kingdom of atrocities and perversion, a kingdom that regards torture and tormented and protracted death of human sacrifices followed by cannibalism, preferably while the victim still lives, as the HIGHEST form of worship?"
"It is TIME for those who still have some smattering of knowledge of me and my ways to STOP playing games with Satan and start taking back this earth while there is STILL TIME -- it is time for believers to STOP marrying unbelievers and allowing their children to marry unbelievers,, it is TIME to STOP marrying those from Satan worshipping cultures, and to STOP welcoming them into your homes, your cities and your lands -- it is time to STOP acceding to Satanic demands that you cast ME (The Almighty) out of your schools, your halls of Government and your workplaces -- it is TIME to publicly open the day with worship and prayer to me, whether in your places of education, your places of Government or your places of work -- it is TIME to cast out those who will NOT comply instead of being cast out and secretively serving me behind locked doors and, IF you CANNOT set apart that place of learning, or government or work then EXIT PUBLICLY and DECLARE your reasons and gather together with those who WILL agree with you in these matters for it is so that in the spirit one TRUE believer FREE OF SIN can put 1,000 to flight and two can put 10,000 to flight and the power of TRUE BELIEVERS who choose to deal with ALL their sin and live in ALL truth is such that massive transformation IS possible -- note the impact of Noah, Abraham, Moshe {Moses}, Yahooshua {Jesus}, Mohammed and Luther -- YOU TOO can bring about RADICAL reformation and renaissance IF you will lay down your life and seek DEEP and ENDURING FRIENDSHIP with Me!"
"IF you believe, it is TIME to assess exactly WHAT you believe about me and then ACT accordingly!"
"IF you do NOT believe, it is time to assess EXACTLY what you DO believe and then act accordingly!"
"There is NO place for fence sitters -- YOU are either FOR me or by default you are AGAINST ME!"
"Know this -- IF you choose to be a TRUE friend, which means you deal with ALL sin and ALL error and do ALL that is required to ensure that your house is FULLY united behind you the forces of darkness CANNOT TOUCH YOU -- BUT, IF you play games and continue to dabble in your favourite sins and errors in your divided house the forces of darkness will TEAR you limb from limb and UTTERLY destroy you -- there has NEVER been a time in all the history of man on earth where life above sin and total unity of your house has been more important!"
"IF you choose to serve ME (Yah), understand that you are choosing a VERY strait and VERY narrow path leading to a VERY small door -- gird your loins and FOLLOW the example of the mighty set-apart ones of previous generations!"
 
Footnote: ALL the above references to "friend" relate to people like you and me seeking to become true friends of Yah, the Almighty Creator

Random Selection of Articles Published on the End Time Issue Ministries Mailing List Since the Day of Atonement 2009

2021.12.10 True Birthday of Yahooshua

In exchanging emails with a correspondent I realized that I have never published an article setting out in detail the basis on which I state that Yahooshua was born on the First Day of the Feast of Tabernacles.  After a search with Google I encountered this article which accurately presents what I have known for many years.  As always I present the article without editing other than I have replaced Yeshua with Yahooshua.

2024.09.03 Led by the Set-Apart Spirit of the Almighty in True Believers

In the article “Prayer to be Anointed (filled) with the Set-Apart {Holy} Spirit of the Creator” I discussed how to receive infilling with the Set-Apart Spirit of the Creator to equip and empower you as an Anointed Servant to accomplish great works for the Almighty.

Here I discuss what it means to be Led by the Set-Apart Spirit of Yah.

2021.12.24 Will you Initiate a Revival with me and seek a Power Anointing

Father says that in 100 years from now if current trends continue there will close to zero true believers left.  Within 200 years the reign of the Satanic and Demonic on Earth will have reached fever pitch and the degradation that is currently becoming more and more pronounced will be going full steam ahead to totally block any possibility of Yahooshua returning. This broadcast presents a detailed discussion of the question “Will you Initiate a Revival with me” and then continues to outline what is required to achieve a Power Anointing.

 

It is stated that the end objective is a MASSIVE GLOBAL REVIVAL that radically transforms things.

Book Set of Nearly All ETI Writings and Published Articles

For a number of years now I have wanted to publish my writings in hard copy format in order to make the writings more accessible to people who do not necessarily have reliable Internet access or who prefer to work with paper copies.

Nearly all the writings since the start of my journey with the Almighty Creator have now been collated into 12 Volumes, 15 physical books, a total of around 7,500 pages, which were published in mid-June 2019.

Volume 1 in the set also has a CD with Recommended Worship and a USB Memory Card with the entire contents of the website, PLUS all the books, PLUS all the audio recordings and videos, PLUS a downloaded version of the Website that can be run standalone WITHOUT an Internet connection.  All of this material can be downloaded off the webpage https://www.eti-ministries.org/compilation-of-most-writings and child pages.

There is also a Booklet containing “Critical Elements of Belief”, a series of one-page Bullet Lists summarizing my understanding of all topics that I hold to be Critical in growing to a place of DEEP relationship with the Almighty Creator whose true Name is “Yah the Eternally Self-Existing”.

There are also two A4 size, tri-fold glossy flyers, one containing the essence of what I believe is necessary for a person who does NOT believe to come to belief and one containing the essence of what is necessary for a person who DOES believe to choose to seek to draw really close to Father Yah.

To obtain a copy of some or all of the physical books please email me on James.Books@ETI-Ministries.org I hope to have them available on Amazon shortly.

Business Interests -- James A Robertson and Associates -- The ERP Doctor

In addition to this ministry I operate a management consulting business specializing in the strategic application of computer based business information systems - a business in which Father has taught me many leading edge concepts, principles and methods

See  http://www.James-A-Robertson-and-Associates.com/

My logo is based on Professor Malcolm McDonald's strategy -- tactics matrix -- strategy, doing the right things horizontally and tactics, doing things right on the vertical axis -- if your organization does the right things well, it will thrive -- top right quadrant -- this is a fundamental principles when it comes to the matters of the Almighty as well

In my consulting work I seek to enable my clients to do the right things well

I regard Father as my partner, Chairman, counselor and I seek to conduct business in a way that is pleasing to Him, within the context of prayer that He will judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve Him more perfectly

 

I truly believe that Father has given me extremely high value knowledge and experience which will enable your organization, be it commercial, governmental or non-governmental to be more effective and efficient in its operations and, IF profit is your measuring stick, more profitable

WHY Believe in the Almighty Creator and seek relationship with Him

IF YOU do NOT believe that the Almighty Creator exists and therefore do NOT have a personal relationship with Him you face a terrible fate when you COULD be blessed for eternity

The Creator has said regarding YOU "why would I want someone to spend eternity with me when they do NOT believe I exist?

Please go immediately to the WHY Believe page and give careful consideration to what is presented there

IF you have a DEEP inner conviction of the reality of the Creator, in other words you claim to be a "believer", but you do NOT have a deep personal relationship with Him such that He speaks to you clearly and regularly and you seek His guidance in every area of your life then He has said of you “why would I want someone to be close to me in Heaven, which inherently means I will give them great authority, if they do NOT have a deep personal relationship with me and have NOT proven to me that they can be trusted?”

Please go immediately to the Relationship with Yah page

 

Important prayers for ALL, for those who have not previously believed and for those who have believed but are now convicted of sin and error

IF you believe that the Almighty Creator exists then take note that He has said of YOU why would I want someone to be close to me in Heaven, which inherently means I will give them great authority, if they do NOT have a deep personal relationship with me and have NOT proven to me that they can be trusted?

IF you believe that the Almighty Creator DOES exist the following are amongst the most important prayers you can pray

Note that the true name of the Almighty Creator is "Yah the eternally self-existing" NOT "The LORD" or "God"

Father Yah, I ask you to help me to overcome to the end that I may be found to  be a "good and faithful servant" on the Day of Judgment

Father Yah I ask you to show me the level of my present deception and how to correct it

Father Yah I ask you to help me to draw MUCH closer to you and to know your will and to do it

Father Yah I ask you to fill me with your Spirit and lead me into ALL truth by your Spirit

Father Yah I give you my life to do with as YOU see fit

Father Yah I ask you to bring the people that YOU want into my life and to take the people that you do NOT want in my life out

Father Yah I ask you to open the doors in my life that YOU want open and to close the doors in my life that YOU want closed

Father Yah I ask you to judge me severely and correct me harshly that I may serve you more perfectly

There are many other prayers that you can pray but these are amongst the most important

<<< PREVIOUS SECTION: Important Insights from Yah 2014

NEXT SECTION: Tithing is Mandatory >>>

About names, words, etc

The majority of visitors to this site will encounter names and words they are NOT familiar with

It is a harsh reality that the true Name of the Almighty Creator of the Heavens and the Earth whose true Name is "Yah the eternally self-existing" has been concealed as have all the important names, laws, commandments, principles and concepts

What is taught by the "Christian" church is almost entirely incorrect as is the case with EVERY religion

This website seeks to present these truths for your prayerful consideration and adoption -- see the prayers elsewhere in this side bar for more information on what to pray

Key names and words that are used throughout this site and which are fundamentally important are:

The true Name of the Almighty Creator is "Yah the eternally self-existing", frequently translated as "Yahweh", more accurately "Yahooeh"

The name of the man commonly known as "Jesus" is "Yahooshua" meaning "Yah is salvation"

The commonly used names of "God", "The LORD", "Christ", "Jesus" are ALL of pagan, that is Satanic origin and the Almighty has only responded to these names as an act of Grace, this Grace has now been withdrawn

 

Third Party Articles and Articles you do NOT agree with

Most articles on this site are classified with a reference number comprising the year, the month and a sequence number within the month, thus 2013.12.03 is the third article published in December 2013

Most detailed webpages are organized with the most recent articles at the top and the Article List displays with the most recent articles at the top.  Searches on the articles list in the same way

Because I am constantly learning, newer articles will almost certainly be an elaboration or refinement of earlier articles and in some cases may significantly revise what I said in earlier articles, in most cases the later article is likely to be more accurate than earlier articles

In ALL cases Father Yah forbids me to go back and edit or correct articles, He wants YOU to have a close personal relationship with Him and therefore to turn to Him for clarification where things that I write contradict or appear to contradict one another

The articles from 2009 onwards are generally much more reliable than those earlier but there are important articles from the earlier days as well, in particular, the articles written in 2000 onwards were written during a period when my understanding was being radically changed on a very intense basis and when I was also getting closer to the Almighty at a very rapid rate

Accordingly the early articles should be given appropriate prayer, particularly if the later articles contradict or appear to contradict what is written in the early articles

That said Father Yah has said that there is much of value in the earlier articles and that they should, accordingly, remain on the site

Third Party Articles

This site includes some articles from third parties

In such cases Father Yah forbids me to censor, edit or correct such articles but requires me to present them in their entirety with little or no comment, as with the previous point He requires YOU to research and pray and reach your own conclusion regarding what is truth

Inclusion of third party articles does NOT indicate any form of endorsement of the person who wrote the article other than that it is my understanding that the article contains information of importance.  Such inclusion also does NOT imply any endorsement of this ministry by the person whose work is cited



It is up to each one of us to discern the truth for ourselves See the article on Seek Truth NOT Error for more information



Content you do NOT agree with



It is probable that you will find material on this site that you do NOT agree with, there is much that is highly controversial, click HERE for an article that proposes a way of responding to such differences
