SMOKING FLAX ?

A sister with a history of work in the garment industry and a brother were talking about making linen from the flax plant.

Flax occurs 10 times in the Bible (9 in the Old Covenant and 1 in the New Covenant).

Flax is first mentioned in Exodus when the hail damaged the barley and flax plants.

Exo 9: v27. And Pharaoh sent, and called for Moses and Aaron, and said unto them, I have sinned this time: Yahweh is righteous, and I and my people [are] wicked.

V28. Intreat Yahweh (for [it is] enough) that there be no [more] mighty thunderings and hail; and I will let you go, and ye shall stay no longer

V29. And Moses said unto him, As soon as I am gone out of the city, I will spread abroad my hands unto Yahweh; [and] the thunder shall cease, neither shall there be any more hail; that thou mayest know how that the earth [is] Yahweh's.

V30. But as for thee and thy servants, I know that ye will not yet fear Yahweh.

V31. And the flax and the barley was smitten: for the barley [was] in the ear (young tender plant), and the flax [was] bolled (bud stage/young plant).

V32. But the wheat and the rye were not smitten: for they [were] not grown up (through the soil)

V33. And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh, and spread abroad his hands unto Yahweh: and the thunders and hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.

Some use these scriptures as proof that barley is Yahweh’s clock . It's just the opposite Yahweh's clock is the motion of the earth around the sun once a year and around it’s axis (which is tilted) once a day that drives the seasons. If you search for the first new moon after the spring equinox the Passover will always be at the correct time. In Israel there are three harvests. The first is the least expensive barley harvest. The second wheat harvest later is a more expensive. The final most expensive end harvest of everything else at end the growing season.

Our Creator (the Yahweh of the Old Covenant) gave Moses instructions regarding the Wave Sheaf offering of first fruits.

Lev 23: v9. And Yahweh spake unto Moses, saying,

V10. Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf (handfull) of the firstfruits of your harvest (barley) unto the priest

V11. And he shall wave the sheaf (wave offering) before Yahweh, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

Our Creator after he was resurrected into a spiritual body offered himself as YahwehShua (the true Wave Sheaf) to the Father at the Father’s Holy of Holies.

Jhn 20: v17. YahwehShua saith unto her, touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father Yahweh, and your Father Yahweh.

Heb 9: v14. How much more shall the blood of Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to Yahweh the Father, purge your conscience (mind) from dead works to serve the living YahwehShua?

V24. For YahwehShua is not entered into the holy places made with hands, [which are] the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of Yahweh the Father for us:

Our Creator also instructed Moses regarding the two wheat wave loaves offering at Pentecost.

Lev 23: v15. And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath (start the count the day after the weekly Sabbath on the first day of the week), from the day ( within the Feast of Unleavened Bread) that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:

V16. Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days (stop the count on the first day of the week); and ye shall offer a new meat (grain) offering unto Yahweh.

V17. Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour (wheat); they shall be baken with leaven; [they are] the firstfruits unto Yahweh.

Exo 34: v22. And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest.

This is symbolic of the disciples getting the Holy Spirit poured out on them at Pentecost as well as the future two witnesses (likely Moses and Elijah first two of the 144,000) and the Saints to ascend to YahwehShua at Seventh Trump in spiritual bodies.

The Old Covenant also mentions a final harvest corresponding to the Feast of Tabernacles.

Exo 34: v22. And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.

 This likely corresponds to the future harvest of the Innumerable Multitude at the end of the first hundred years of the Last Great Day. Our Creator follows patterns or plans given to him by the Father. YahwehShua ascended to the Father, 144 thousand Saints will ascend to YahwehShua (at the 7th trumpet prior to Armageddon), perhaps the Innumerable Multitude will ascend to the 144 thousand Saints just prior to the great battle of Gog/Magog.

Rev 20: v7. And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

V8. And shall go out to deceive the nations (people who previously knew YahwehZidkenu for a 1000 years) which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom [is] as the sand of the sea.

V9. And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the Saints (Ezekiel’s Millennial Temple in Jerusalem)  about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from the Wrath of Yahweh out of heaven, and devoured them.

Paul confirms that the Feast of Tabernacles is a future event and not part of the Doctrine of Messiah (see Heb 6:2). During the future Millennial Sabbath everyone who is not a Saint at the seventh trumpet will likely have their physical life extended (see article on life and death Dec 19,2020) into the Millennium and learn directly from our Creator (YahwehZidkenu) and be begotten. However, the growth of Messiah cannot occur until the adversary is let out during the first hundred years of the Last Great Day. Overcoming the adversary allows the growth of Messiah in you. 

Gal 4: v19. My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until YahwehShua be formed in you.

 Everyone who is not one of the 144,000 will have a chance to be in the family or Kingdom as part of the Innumerable Multitude similar to the Levites supporting role of Aaron and his sons.

Our Creator quotes Isaiah42:3 and mentions flax.

Mat 12: v20. A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment unto victory.

What does this mean? Scriptures can give us the clues. Ezekiel saw our Creator with reed and flax.

Ezk 40: v2. In the visions of Yahweh brought he me into the land of Israel, and set me upon a very high mountain, by which [was] as the frame of a city on the south

V3. And he brought me thither, and, behold, [there was] a man, whose appearance [was] like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax (flax can be made in to thin rope to measure long distances) in his hand, and a measuring reed (water reed  6 cubits or 9 feet long to measure shorter distances); and he stood in the gate.

V4. And the man said unto me, Son of man, behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and set thine heart upon all that I shall shew thee; for to the intent that I might shew [them] unto thee [art] thou brought hither: declare all that thou seest (future Millennial Temple) to the house of Israel.

Our Creator is sizing us up now (with reed and flax so to speak) to be in the future spiritual temple as one of the 144,000.

Paul says we need to examine ourselves (2Co 13: v4). For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of Yahweh the Father. For we also are weak (now in this flesh body or perhaps our measuring tool reed and flax is weak) in him, but we shall live with him by the power of YahwehShua toward you.

V5. Examine yourselves (get out your reed and flax measuring rope so to speak/the Word/the Bible), whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that YahwehShua is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Back to the bruised reed and the smoking flax. Samson gives a clue.

Jdg 15: v12. And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves.

V13. And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords (probably flax rope) , and brought him up from the rock.

V14. [And] when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of Yahweh came mightily upon him, and the cords that [were] upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire (smoking flax /weakening the flax rope), and his bands loosed from off his hands

V15. And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith.

The smoking flax can also be a dim barely burning wick of a candle. Isa 42: v1. Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, [in whom] my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

V2. He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.

V3. A bruised reed (weak measuring reed) shall he not break, and the smoking flax (dim light/weak flax measuring rope) shall he not quench (put out) he shall bring forth judgment unto truth

Isa 42: v4. He shall not fail !

Our Creator through Paul tells us to examine or measure ourselves. Though our human measuring tools (bruised reed and smoking flax) are weak in the flesh his tools are perfect and someday the Saints will be like him with perfect measuring tools. If we quit and fail to repent daily and overcome then he will be sure to quench or put out our light.

Is your reed bent over (weak)? Is your flax on fire smoking (weak)? Is YahwehShua to weak to fix you ? Yahweh forbid!

Straighten up Soldier (your reed)! Call the only Spirtual Fireman to put the flax fire out!

HalleluYahwehShua

JUBILEE

Counting Pentecost is similar to the count of the Jubilee.

Lev 25: v1. And Yahweh spake unto Moses in mount Sinai unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, the shall the land keep a sabbath unto Yahweh.

V3. Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;

V4. But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for Yahweh: thou shalt neither sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard.

V5. That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: [for] it is a year of rest unto the land

V8. And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years.

Lev 25: v9. Then shalt thou cause the trumpet of the jubile to sound on the tenth [day] of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land.

V10. And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout [all] the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family (notice the 50th year is also the 1st year on the count to the next Sabbatical year similar to Pentecost being the 1st day of the week on count to the next weekly Sabbath).

V13. In the year of this jubile ye shall return every man unto his possession.

V21. Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year (similar to the extra manna on the 6th day of the week), and it shall bring forth fruit for three years.

V20. And if ye shall say, What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:

V23. The land shall not be sold for ever: for the land [is] mine; for ye [are] strangers and sojourners with me.

V24. And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.

Our Creator probably started his ministry on a Jubilee year. Notice the phrase “to set at liberty”.

Luk 4: v17. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

V18. The Spirit of Yahweh [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

V19. To preach the acceptable year of the Messiah.

He then stops.

Luk 4: v20. And he closed the book, and he gave [it] again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

V21. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.

The two witnesses will finish his Ministry at his direction.

Isa 61: v2. To proclaim the acceptable year of Yahweh, and the day of vengeance of Yahweh; to comfort all that mourn;

It's likely he will return on a jubile year at the 7th trumpet to gather 144k Saints.

The jubilee will likely take place in the Millennial Sabbath.

Ezk 46: v16. Thus saith YahwehZidkenu; If the prince (likely King David) give a gift unto any of his sons, the inheritance thereof shall be his sons’; it [shall be] their possession by inheritance.

V17. But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of his servants, then it shall be his to the year of liberty (jubile); after it shall return to the prince: but his inheritance shall be his sons’ for them.

Some suspect 120 jubile cycles between Adam and the second Advent of Messiah. Others have set a variety of dates.

I suspect that when New Jerusalem comes down from heaven to earth and the Kingdom handed over to the Father will be a jubilee because all creation will have endless life!

Be jubilant at Pentecost and the coming ultimate Jubilee!

PENTECOST

The following scriptures tell us how to count to the Feast of Weeks (Pentecost)

Deu 16: v9. Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from [such time as] thou beginnest [to put] the sickle to the corn (1st day of the week after 7th day of rest).

V10. And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto Yahweh with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give [unto Yahweh,] according as Yahweh hath blessed thee:

 Lev 23: v14. And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto Yahweh: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

V15. And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath (weekly Sabbath), from the day (1st day of week within the Feast of Unleavened Bread that starts the count) that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering (looks forward to true wave sheaf of barley when YahwehShua  presents himself to the Father); seven sabbaths shall be complete:

V16. Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath (day after 7th weekly Sabbath, stop count) shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto Yahweh.

Holy Convocation on day 50 of the count.

Lev 23: v17. Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves (looks forward to Elijah, Moses, rest of 144k Saints ascension to Messiah in air at the 7th Trump) of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; [they are] the firstfruits unto Yahweh.

V20. And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits [for] a wave offering before Yahweh, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to Yahweh for the priest.

V21. And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, [that] it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work [therein: it shall be] a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

V22. And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I [am] Yahweh.

 The 12 tribes received the law (10 Commandments) on the 50th day at Mount Sinai.

Moses was instructed by our Creator to bring the 12 tribes to Mt Horeb (the real Mt Sinai in Midian; see Ron Wyatt’s work at arkdiscovery.com).

Exo 3: v1. Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of Yahweh, [even] to Horeb.

V12. And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this [shall be] a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve Yahweh upon this mountain.

Exo 19: v1. In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt (left Egypt on 15th), the same day came they [into] the wilderness of Sinai.

V2. For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come [to] the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped before the mount.

V3. And Moses went up unto Yahweh, and Yahweh called unto him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel;

V4. Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and [how] I bare you on eagles’ wings (angels), and brought you unto myself.

V5. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth [is] mine:

V6. And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These [are] the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.

V7. And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before their faces all these words which Yahweh commanded him.

V11. And be ready against the third day: for the third day Yahweh (the Son) will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.

V14. And Moses went down from the mount unto the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

V17. And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with Yahweh; and they stood at the nether part of the mount (on Pentacost).

Exo 20: v1. And Yahweh spake all these words, saying,

V2. [I am] Yahweh, thy Yahweh, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage

V3. Thou shalt have no other (so called) deities before me.

V4. Thou 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:

V5. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I Yahweh thy Creator [am] a jealous Yahweh, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth [generation] of them that hate me;

V6. And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

V7. Thou shalt not take the name of Yahweh thy Creator in vain; for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

V8. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

V9. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

V10. But the seventh day [is] the Sabbath of Yahweh thy Creator: [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:

V11. For [in] six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them [is,] and rested the seventh day: wherefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.

V12. Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which Yahweh giveth thee.

V14. Thou shalt not commit adultery.

V13. Thou shalt not kill.

V15. Thou shalt not steal.

V16. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

V17. Thou 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.

The ten Commandments have been magnified in the New Covenant.

Mat 5: v21. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

V22. But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of lake of fire.

V27. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

V28. But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a (married) woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

V38. Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

V39. But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

V43. Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

V44. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

The 12 apostles received the Holy Spirit on Pentecost.

Act 2: v1. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

V2. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

V3. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

V4. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues (different languages), as the Spirit gave them utterance.

V12. And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?

V13. Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

V14. But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all [ye] that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

V15. For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is [but] the third hour (9am) of the day.

V16. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

V17. And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith Yahweh, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

V32. This YahwehShua hath Yahweh the Father raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

V33. Therefore being by the right hand of Yahweh the Father exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

V36. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that Yahweh the Father hath made that same Messiah (our Creator), whom ye have crucified, both YahwehShua and exalted Master.

V37. Now when they heard [this,] they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men [and] brethren, what shall we do?

V38. Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of YahwehShua Messiah for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

V41. Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added [unto them] about three thousand souls.

Pentecost is also symbolic of having hands laid on after baptism and is part of the New Covenant Doctrine of Messiah.

Act 19: v2. He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Spirit since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Spirit.

V3. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism.

V4. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on him which should come after him, that is, on YahwehShua Messiah.

V5. When they heard [this,] they were baptized in the name of YahwehShua Messiah.

V6. And when Paul had laid [his] hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues (different languages), and prophesied.

Heb 6: v1. Therefore leaving the principles of the Doctrine of Messiah, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works (Leaving Egypt, leaving sin, Feast of Unleavened Bread day 1), and of faith toward YahwehShua,

V2. Of the doctrine of baptisms (Red sea crossing baptism in the mist, Feast of Unleavened Bread Day 7), and of laying on of hands (Mt Sinai, 12 tribes receiving the Law, Pentecost 12 apostles received the Holy Spirit) and of resurrection of the dead (Feast of Shouting, 7th Trumpet 144k Saints meet Messiah in the air), and of eternal judgment (Last Great Day).

Pentecost is part of the perfect plan of Father Yahweh that is being carried out by the Son YahwehShua Messiah from start to finish (Alpha & Omega).

PNEUMA ? HOLY SPIRIT ? BREATH OF LIFE ?

The Holy Spirit from the Father through the Son is described as an invisible force or extension of the Father in appendix 9 and appendix 101 of the Companion Bible.

Man is given a spirit from the Father through the Son in the new covenant, which is PNEUMA, the breath of life.

Gen 2: v7. And Yahweh (the Son) formed man [of] the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

When we die, our bodies return to the dust but our mind or pneuma which is asleep returns through the Son to the Father who gave it.      

Ecc 12: v7. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto Yahweh the Father who gave it.

Animals also have a spirit but when they die their spirit along with their body returns to the dust only man's spirit returns to the Father, but the man's body returns to the dust.

Ecc 3: v19. For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all [is] vanity.

V20. All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

V21. Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward (through the Son to the Father), and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth.

 Psa 90: v10. The days of our years [are] threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength [they be] fourscore years, yet [is] their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off (physical death), and we (our spirit is alive but sleeping when we physically die) fly away (returns to the Father who gave it).

 Man's spirit of life and animals’ breath of life is not the Holy Spirit. Its basically the mind that allows a physical body to be alive. See article on this website titled Life and Death. However, the Holy Spirit can control this breath of life or man's spirit. The Holy Spirit can control animal spirits as well.

Exo 4: v21. And Yahweh the Son said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart (mind, spirit), that he shall not let the people go.

Jon 1: v17. Now Yahweh the Son had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights

Jon 2: v10. And Yahweh the Son spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry [land.]

Paul who wrote the most books in the New Covenant never mentions the Holy Spirit as a separate being, but only says greetings from the Father Yahweh and his son YahwehShua multiple times. Below is an example.

Eph 1: v1. Paul, an apostle of YahwehShua (Son) by the will of Yahweh (Father), to the Saints which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Messiah:

V2. Grace [be] to you, and peace, from Yahweh our Father, and [from] YahwehShua.

V3. Blessed [be] Yahweh our Father of YahwehShua, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in YahwehShua:

V4. According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love.  

 No one has ever seen or heard the Father except the Son!

Jhn 1: v18. No man hath seen Yahweh the Father at any time; the only begotten YahwehShua the Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him.]

Jhn 5: v37. And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

Jhn 6: v46. Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is the Son, he hath seen the Father.

The phrase this is my beloved son who I am well pleased is likely the voice of an angel working at the direction of the Holy Spirit from the Father through the Son to the angel.

Mat 3: v17. And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Mat 17: v5. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

The Bible can't contradict itself therefore the Yahweh of the Old Covenant is actually our Creator.

1Co 10: v1. Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

V2. And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud (mist) and in the sea (red sea crossing);

Ron Wyatt has excellent research on actual red sea crossing at arkdiscovery.com

V3. And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

V4. And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Messiah.

                                     In Job the good angels and the adversary were dealing with our Creator the Son. Our Creator is the one Moses was dealing with at the burning bush, who Abraham was dealing with when asked to sacrifice Isaac, as well as Melchizedek (our Creator) who Abraham met. Our Creator and his Father planned everything before anything was created. Our Creator has been carrying out that plan of the Father from the very beginning with the creation of the unseen world, angels, seen world to the very end when he finally hands over the kingdom when all creation is purified, and he creates the new heaven and earth, and New Jerusalem comes to earth.

Rev 21: v2. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from YahwehShua out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

V1. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

1Co 15: v24. Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to Yahweh the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

V25. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

V26. The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death (endless life for all creation)

V27. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under [him, it is] manifest that he (Father) is excepted, which did put all things under him.

V28. And when all things shall be subdued unto him (Son), then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him (hands New Jerusalem over to the Father) that put all things under him, that the Father may be all in all.   

If the  Father will only speak and be seen by our Creator and will not meet any of us until the new heavens and new earth when heaven comes down to earth and everyone is physically and spiritually clean, it's likely that he will not allow his invisible power/presence/extension or Holy Spirit to go anywhere other than the Son who controls the seen and unseen world. The incredible power and purity of the Father compared to the Son (who is sinless) is noted in the following scripture.

Luk 18: v19. And Messiah said unto him, Why callest thou me good? None [is] good, save one, [that is,] my Father Yahweh.

Paul describes the Father as the Light no one can approach except the Son.

1Ti 6: v16. Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom [be] honour and power everlasting. Amen.

Once the Son has the Holy Spirit from the Father, he sends it out to control the seen and unseen world. 

John 14:26 but the comforter which is the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance whatsoever have I have said to you.     

 Further proof that the Holy Spirit comes from the Father to the Son:

Jhn 15: v26. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

The Father sends forth his Holy Spirit through his Son to give us the down payment of the Spirit of Messiah when we are baptized in the name of YahwehShua and have hands laid on us by an elder.

Gal 4: v6. And because ye are sons, Yahweh the Father hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Rom 8: v15. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption (Spirit of Messiah,Son), whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Overcoming the adversary is what allows the growth of Messiah in us .

Gal 4: v19. My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Messiah be formed in you,

Rev 2: v17. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Assemblies; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth [it.]

Rev 3: v5. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

We have access to the Father's throne room though his Son our Creator. This is the true Holy of Holies in the heavens even though we can't see the Father or hear the Father we have access to the throne of grace of the Father.

Heb 4: v16. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

We have access through the flesh of our Creator (the veil of the true Holy of Holies) in the true heavenly throne room of the Father. The only other person besides the Father in the throne room is our high priest YahwehShua.

Heb 10: v19. Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Messiah,

V20. By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

V21. And [having] an high priest (YahwehShua,Son) over the house of Yahweh (Father);

Even Aaron a levitical priest in the old covenant had to have Yahweh on his mitre one time a year when he went into the earthly  Holy of Holies.

Exo 28: v36. And thou shalt make a plate [of] pure gold, and grave upon it, [like] the engravings of a signet, HOLINESS TO YAHWEH.

V37. And thou shalt put it on a blue lace, that it may be upon the mitre; upon the forefront of the mitre it shall be.

V38. And it shall be upon Aaron’s forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy things, which the children of Israel shall hallow in all their holy gifts; and it shall be always upon his forehead, that they may be accepted before Yahweh.

Gold plate on forehead (mind) engraved with HOLINESS TO YAHWEH

If you want access to the true Holy of Holies and the throne room of our Father, you need to consider getting baptized in the correct name YahwehShua and have hands laid on by an elder who has been baptized in that name.

Ultimate access only available with the correct name YahwehShua!

MINISTRY OF MESSIAH & 2 WITNESSES

The Messiah's ministry started approximately 2,000 years ago and lasted for approximately 3 and 1/2 years. He confirmed a covenant for many when he was in the flesh for one week and in the midst of the week he caused the sacrifice and the oblation to cease.

Dan 9: v27. And he (Son) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (7 years): and in the midst of the week (Wednesday) he (Lamb of Yahweh) shall cause (he was the perfect sacrifice) the sacrifice and the oblation to cease (sacrifices, sacrificial law, not the Royal Law, i.e. not 10 Commandments they were magnified) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make [it] desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate (end of Satan’s kingdom).

 In other words, our Messiah’s perfectly planned sacrifice occurred on a Wednesday 3 & 1/2 years after he was immersed by John.     

Messiah in Luke 4:17 quotes Isaiah 61:1, but stops in the middle of verse 2?

Luk 4: v17. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,

V18. The Spirit of Yahweh [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

V19. To preach the acceptable year of Yahweh (middle of verse 2 in Isaiah  61).

V20. And he closed the book, and he gave [it] again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.

V21. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.                                                

 Why did Messiah stop in the middle of verse 2? What is the next verse?  

 Isa 61: v1. The Spirit of Yahweh [is] upon me; because Yahweh hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to [them that are] bound;

V2. To proclaim the acceptable year of Yahweh,……… and the day of vengeance of Yahweh,

 Who’s going to proclaim the day of vengeance of Yahweh? Who is going to finish the 7-year ministry of the Messiah? None other than the two witnesses (2 wave loaves) noted in Daniel and Revelation. They will prophesy against the world the last three and a half years prior to the 7th Trump when our Creator returns.

Lev 23: v17. Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; [they are] the firstfruits (First 2 Saints of the 144k, likely Moses & Elijah) unto Yahweh.

Deu 17: v6. At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he (most people on the planet) that is worthy of death be put to death; [but] at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

Rev 11: v3. And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days (3 & 1/2 years of 30 day months 1260 days where the new moon is not seen,lot of smoke and fire from the destruction of 7 seals & 7 trumps), clothed in sackcloth (morn the coming loss of life, also will not appear desirable unlike the false Messiah who is going to be arrayed with gorgeous glowing radiant garments).

V4. These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before  YahwehShua of the earth.

V5. And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

V6. These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy (likely Elijah): and have power over waters to turn them to blood (likely Moses), and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will (they will be called devils and sorcerers by the world because of the curses).

How can Moses and Elijah be physically alive as they died thousands of years ago? If  YahwehShua can extend Lazarus’s physical life after 4 days he can extend Moses and Elijah's life after 4 days (4 thousand years). See Life & Death under News on our website.

 Who else will be on the scene at that time? None other than the false Messiah who shall deceive the whole earth (they will believe he is the Messiah) and tread it down and break it in pieces and he sell speak great words against the Most High and so wear out the Saints of the Most High. They will change times and laws and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time (3 &1/2 years of the false Messiah).The false Messiah will condemn the two Witnesses as demons and the source of the curses (7seals & 7trumps that last 3 & ½ years up to the 7th Trump when the Real Messiah returns for his 144k Saints!).

 Dan 7: v23. Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom (Satan controlled fallen angels controlling the False Messiah controlling the False Assemblies controlling all people on 4 corners of earth, whole world) upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

V24. And the ten horns out of this kingdom [are] ten kings [that] shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he (false Messiah) shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.

V25. And he shall speak [great] words against the Most High (YahwehShua/Father & Son), and shall wear out the Saints of the Most High, and think to change times (Yahweh’s clock, Sabbaths) and laws (10 Commandments ): and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time (3 & 1/2 years).

 This false Messiah will claim he is our Creator and will claim his name is Yahshua Yahweh (Son of Yahweh). He is the second human beast spoken of in Revelation.

 6 is Rev 13: v11. And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb (looks powerful like our Creator), and he spake as a dragon (deceives the world with smooth/pleasant talk).

V12. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast (creature=creation=everything including the angels other than Father and Son are created) before him (people controlled by the false assemblies controlled by the false Messiah controlled by Satan), and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast (beast=creature=creation people, sports heroes,money, worshipping the creation instead of the Creator) whose deadly wound was healed (3/4 people/1st beast survived the seals, only 1/4 of planet killed by 4 horseman).

V13. And he (false Messiah) doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the  (likely lightning from outer space down to his palm, angels including fallen angels are flames of fire) sight of men (you will have to turn on the tv news or other visual devices or be there in person to see this unlike when our real Creator returns later at the 7th trumpet when every eye will see YahwehShua simultaneously around the world without a tv),

V14. And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by [the means of] those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast (people); saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image (false idols) to the beast (creation), which had the wound by a sword (break or breather between the seals and trumps), and did live.

V15. And he had power to give life unto the image (false idols, people worshipping government, educational, economic, ecclesiastical systems,ways of the world) of the beast (creation), that the image (many false idols) of the beast (creation) should both speak(false prophets false elders), and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed (some Saints martyred others taken to place of safety).

V16. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand (do own occupation or sabbath any day of week), or in their foreheads (mind controlled by false Messiah,Satan, world idols):

V17. And that no man might buy or sell (buy/sell=barter/trade=occupation any day of the week), save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

V18. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man (false Messiah and people that don’t know the true name of YahwehShua  Messiah); and his number [is] Six hundred threescore [and] six (666 the absence of the mark of Messiah 777).

Heb 1: v7. And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire (lightning).

Isaiah and Revelation(John) mention these false prophets.

Isa 9: v14. Therefore YahwehShua will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day.

V15. The ancient and honourable, he [is] the head (false elders); and the prophet that teacheth lies, he [is] the tail (false prophets).

Rev 9: v8. And they (false elders) had hair as the hair of women (harlots, false assemblies, not virgin bride, not one of the 144k Saints), and their teeth were as [the teeth] of lions (false doctrine destroys people).

 Rev 9: v10. And they had tails (false prophets) like unto scorpions, and there were stings in their tails ( false prophets=false doctrine=false deeds you don’t repent of=sin= destruction by the destroyer) : and their power [was] to hurt men five months.

 This false Messiah will magnify himself above all and he shall honor his Father (the adversary Satan supplying him with the evil spirit and force, see article on Wrath of YahwehShua) with gold, silver etc. He shall enter into the Holy land and place his tabernacle or Temple (in Jerusalem) between the seas (Mediterranean and Dead Sea) and there should be a time of trouble (3 & 1/2 years) such as never was since there was a nation.

 Dan 11: v45. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

Dan 12: v1. And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Thus the two witnesses will be prophesizing for 3 and 1/2 years against the world up until the 7th Trumpet.

 Rev 11: v3. And I will give [power] unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days, clothed in sackcloth (Elijah & Moses in physical bodies will not be desirable, our Creator in the flesh was not desirable).

Isa 53: v1. Who hath believed our report? And to whom is the arm of YAHWEH revealed

V2. For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness (no splendor no glory no ornaments = sackcloth); and when we shall see him, [there is] no beauty (not pretty like the 2 Witnesses who are not pretty, don’t be deceived) that we should desire him.

 V7. And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.

V8. And their dead bodies [shall lie] in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt (Jerusalem) , where also Messiah was crucified.

V9. And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

V10. And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them (they think  2 dead devils means no more curses but their joy will be cut short when the 7 vials start), and make merry, and shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.

V11. And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from Yahweh the Father through the Son YahwehShua entered into them, and they stood upon their feet (Elijah and Moses receive Spiritual bodies as part of 144k Saints ); and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

V12. And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they ascended up to heaven in a cloud (7th Trump when the 144k Saints meet Messiah in the air); and their enemies beheld them.

The 7 Trumps cause another third of people (1st beast) to die. So, by the end of the seals (1/4 dead) and the trumps (1/3 dead) over 1/2   the people who were alive on earth just 3 & 1/2 years prior when the 2 Witnesses started and the false Messiah started (claims he is the true Messiah returning for his Saints).

Rev 9: v14. Saying to the sixth angel which had the Trumpet, Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates.

V18. By these three was the third part of men (people on earth) killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths (false doctrine destroys).

V19. For their power is in their mouth (not the true word/bible/sword), and in their tails (false prophets): for their tails [were] like unto serpents, and had heads (false elders), and with them they do hurt (false doctrine destroys people, how can you repent of something you think is true?).

The 7 year ministry of Messiah and 2 Witnesses are complete! If you pinch your self and have pain you’re not part of the 144k Saints.

Dan 12: v11. And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away (3 & 1/2 years of Messiah’s Ministry til his sacrifice, skip 2000 years), and the abomination that maketh desolate set up ( 2 Witnesses testifying 3 & 1/2 years up to their death at 7 th Trump), [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days (1260+30=1290days).

V12. Blessed [is] he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days(1290+45=1335days).  

What is the abomination that maketh desolate set up (looks like he’s the greatest power on earth)? Likely the pinnacle of the false Messiah's power which occurs at the end of the last seven vial judgments when he convinces 200 million man army to fight at Armageddon. Thus, Armageddon is 30 days after the 7th trumpet (1260+30=1290days). He suffers a great defeat at Armageddon and then Satan is put away for a thousand years. Thus, the Millennium likely starts 45 days after Armageddon (1290+45=1335days) That's why one would be blessed to make it to the Millennial Sabbath of our Creator!

Simple timeline: 3 and 1/2 years of Messiah's ministry, skip approximately 2,000 years, 3 and 1/2 years of the two witnesses ministry (7 seals 7 trumps 2 Witnesses will be called devils causing all the curses ) up to the seventh trumpet when 144k Saints (with wedding garments) meet Messiah in the air, 30 day wedding banquet  (thus the 7 seals and 7 trumpets last 3 & 1/2 years) overlaps exactly with the false Messiah’s 3 & 1/2 years. The false Messiah gets 30 more days (7 vials) up to Armageddon (30 days after 7th Trumpet) then 45 days (Satan put away) to start of Millennium, 1000 year Millennium, Every human (aborted fetus, murderer, Hitler, everyone who was not part of 144,000 Saints) will know and be taught by our Creator (who will be residing at Ezekiel’s Temple) and Saints during the Millennial Sabbath (1000 yrs following previous 6000 yrs), everyone will know everything about our Creator (perfectly begotten) and live in peace, everyone will have a chance to be in the family as part of the innumerable multitude, after the thousand year Millennial Sabbath. The adversary Satan is let out for a hundred years, everyone who can overcome (allows growth of Messiah) Satan will be part of the innumerable multitude, everyone else again will be deceived by Satan and die in the great battle of Gog and Magog (similar to Armageddon prior to the Millennium), The innumerable multitude and 144k Saints will be with the Father and Son IN New Jerusalem that comes out of heaven to earth. Everyone else nonetheless will get the free gift of life and live forever OUTside of New Jerusalem!

 Spend time on the timeline!
