SERPENT OF BRASS?

What is this serpent of brass that Yahweh told Moses to make?

Num 21: v5. And the people spake against Yahweh, and against Moses, wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For [there is] no bread, neither [is there any] water; and our soul loatheth this light bread.

V6. And Yahweh sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.

V7. Therefore, the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against Yahweh, and against thee; pray unto Yahweh, that he take away the serpents from us. And Moses prayed for the people.

V8. And Yahweh said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole  (notice our Creator said put it up on a pole, not a cross, poles are vertical unlike a cross): and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

V9. And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole (vertical beam not a horizontal beam, not a cross), and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.

The chief Angel Lucifer fell away (Father and Son foresaw this, it was part of the Father's plan and took a third of the angels with him and now is Satan ). He received permission to test Eve in the garden of the field which Yahweh had made. Gen 3: v1. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath Yahweh said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden.

V2. And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

V3. But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, Yahweh hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

V5. For Yahweh doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

V4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die (yet):

V6. And when the woman saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

V7. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they [were] naked (ashamed/sin); and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

What is this tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

Gen 2: v16. And Yahweh commanded the man, saying, of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat.

V17. But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day (within a thousand years) that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

V24. Therefore, shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh (one body like Messiah and assembly are one body/one purpose).

V25. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed (without sin).

The tree of the knowledge of good and evil is none other than the fallen angel Satan. He was once the sum total of perfection and knew good until sin (evil) was found in him.

Ezk 28: V3. Behold, thou [art] wiser than Daniel; there is no secret that they can hide from thee:

V6. Therefore, thus saith Yahweh; Because thou hast set thine heart as the heart of Yahweh;

V9. Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee, I [am] Yahweh? But thou [shalt be] a man (created being like man), and no Yahweh, in the hand of him that slayeth thee.

V12. Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus (symbolic of Satan, Tyrus is controlled by Satan), and say unto him, Thus saith Yahweh; Thou sealest up the sum, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty (Lucifer the archangel or Chief Angel was beautiful, unlike our Creator and the two witnesses, Lucifer now replaced by Michael and Gabriel).

V13. Thou hast been in Eden the garden of Yahweh (was with Yahweh in the garden probably when he created the garden of Eden before Adam was even created); every precious stone [was] thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

V14. Thou [art] the anointed cherub (Head Angel) that covereth; and I have set thee [so:] thou wast upon the holy mountain of Yahweh; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

V15. Thou [wast] perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee (part of the Father's plan).

V16. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of Yahweh: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

V17. Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

V18. Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee (Our Creator likely takes the hedge down about Satan and the fallen Angels and a lake of fire consumes their spiritual bodies; see article Wrath of YahwehShua), it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

Isaiah and John in Revelation confirm the fall of Lucifer and the fact that he took a third of the angels with him (spiritual bodies must be a lot stronger than flesh bodies because he could only deceive a third of the angels, however, he deceives all in this world the darkness below).

Isa 14: v12. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations

V13. For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of Yahweh: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:

V14. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.

V15. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.

Rev 12: v3. And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon (Satan), having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

V4. And his tail drew the third part of the stars (angels) of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.

V5. And she brought forth a man child (Messiah), who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto Yahweh the Father (after his resurrection he ascended up to the Father as YahwehShua, the perfect wave sheaf offering), and [to] his throne.

V6. And the woman (much of the assembly will be taken to a place of safety in the last 3 and 1/2 years leading up to the 7th Trump) fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared by YahwehShua, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred [and] threescore days (3 and 1/2 years of 30-day months leading up to the return of YahwehShua at the 7th trumpet).

Full circle back to the serpent of brass and what it could mean spiritually? Messiah gives us the clue:

Jhn 3: v14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man (Messiah) be lifted up (on a vertical pole not a cross or horizontal beam):

V15. That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life (in the kingdom eternally, the rest of creation outside the kingdom with eternal life).

The people with Moses were cured when they looked upon this serpent of brass. But the serpent represents the devil or sin being lifted up on a beam! Messiah was lifted up on a beam into a tree, is he a devil? Yahweh forbid! What do the scriptures say?

Gal 3: v13. Messiah redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:

Jhn 1: v29. The next day John seeth Messiah coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of Father Yahweh, which taketh away the sin of the world (all sin /past /present/ future).

Our Creator is the only person to die in sin and the only sin sponge which has wiped away all sin (past, present, and future) to give life to all including all the fallen angels and all humans who fail to overcome. Like the serpent lifted up in the wilderness, our Creator was lifted up on a vertical beam or pole into a tree. That single greatest act of love of all time destroys death for all creation in the seen and unseen world.

Heb 2: v14. Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

HalleluYahwehShua!

RECONCILE

The Son has been carrying out the plan of the Father from the very beginning when he created the seen and unseen world and controls everything at the direction of the Father.  At the end he hands over New Jerusalem, the new heavens and earth, to the Father.

Col 1: v15. Who is the image of the invisible Father Yahweh, the firstborn of every creature:

V16. For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

V17. And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

1Co 15: v24. Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to Yahweh, even 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.

Death is destroyed. Does that mean that everyone is going to live forever? What? People that deny Messiah, fallen angels, and Satan aren't they going to burn in hell forever and ever? What does the Bible say?

Col 1: v20. And, having made peace through the blood of his beam (nailed to a vertical stake and pulled up into a tree, see previous article: STAKE? BEAM?CROSS?), by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say,] whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven.

What is reconciliation?

The only thing in the unseen world that needs reconciliation is the adversary and the fallen angels. In the seen world, all whoever lived or who was aborted will get the free gift of life. However, to be in the kingdom (family) is more difficult. See previous articles on this website. No repentance is required for reconciliation, the free gift of life.

Rom 5: v10. For if, when we were enemies (no repentence required), we were reconciled to Yahweh the Father by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled (free gift of life for all creation), we shall be saved by his life (Messiah's life in you is required for salvation.This requires being baptized in the correct name,  repenting, overcoming until Messiah is fully formed in you by the seventh trumpet for the 144,000. Those that overcome in the first hundred years of the Last Great Day and have Messiah fully formed in them will be part of the innumerable multitude).

But what about the devil and the fallen angels and everyone outside the kingdom? Don't they burn forever in the third hell (see the article on this website: Three Concepts of Heaven & Hell) the lake of fire?

Rev 20: v10. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast (people not in the kingdom) and the false prophet (false messiah)[are,] and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

The above scripture makes our Creator out to be a terrorist! Yahweh forbid! One of the Strong’s defintions for G165 aion (ever and ever) is “period of time”. Unfortunately the world uses one of the incorrect definitions — eternal. The only two eternals are the Father and the Son, The rest of creation including the fallen angels have a beginning and an end. Eventually when the Father’s plan is completed by the Son all creation will have eternal life! The Old Covenant story of Jonah also corresponds to the particular Strong's definition above.

Jon 2: v6. I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars [was] about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life from corruption, O Yahweh my Creator.

The Strong's definitions for H5769 Olam all seem like an eternity. Strong’s isn’t always right. What does the Bible say?

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

Not forever, only 3 days, which is a period of time. This corresponds to the New Covenant particularly in Strong's mentioned above.

All creation including the fallen angels, the adversary, all who fail to overcome, murderers, even Hitler get the free gift of life (reconciliation) and live eternally outside the kingdom! 

Salvation, however, requires getting called by the Father, getting baptized in the correct name, repenting and overcoming daily until Messiah is fully formed in you and being chosen by YahwehShua Messiah. 

HalleluYahwehShua!

DOES THE NAME EVEN MATTER ?

What does the Bible say?

Exo 20: v7. Thou shalt not take the name of Yahweh thy true Elohyim (Father/Son) in vain; for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.   

Taketh his name in vain? Strong's definition: 

Notice the words falsehood and lying! Calling his name God is a falsehood! Calling his name Lord is lying! Taking his name in vain! Breaking the third commandment! But many will say the law has been done away with? Really? What does the word say?

1Jn 3: v4. Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Rom 5: v13. For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

So if the law is done away with, then no one is sinning, since sin is transgression of the law! What does the Bible say about this?

1Jn 1: v10. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him (YahwehShua) a liar, and his word is not in us.

1Jn 2: v3. And hereby we do know that we know him (YahwehShua), if we keep his commandments (Ten Commandments).

The only law done away with was the sacrificial law, but the Royal Law, the Ten Commandments are now magnified in the New Covenant. The sacrificial law will be part of the New Covenant during the Millennial Sabbath that looks back to the greatest act of love of all time, just as the sacrificial law in the Old Covenant looks forward to the greatest act of love of all time (See article on Millennial sacrifices). The Ten Commandments which are magnified are impossible to keep perfectly without the growth of Messiah in us. Some evidence of the magnified Ten Commandments:

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 hell fire.

Mat 5: 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 woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

Why can't we use his human name Yahshua/Joshua/JC ? There was no “J” in any language on the planet until approximately 500 years ago (in 1524 Gian Giorgio introduced the letter J). The name Yahweh was originally in the Bible nearly 7,000 times (www.iw.ora>appen, Complete Biblical Library St. Louis, Missouri), by the time our Creator was on the planet (approximately 2 thousand years ago) the Dead Sea scrolls (approximately 2,000 years old) prove that the name Yahweh in the bible was cut down to 2000 times. Names are transliterated to preserve the phonics or how they sound. Yahweh in Paleo Hebrew (the tetragrammaton) sounds like Yahweh in English! So what! Why can ‘t I just call him Lord, God, JC whatever? Our Creator died under the Old Covenant. What does the Bible say? Who took on the sin or all the curses of the seen and unseen world?

 Jhn 1: v29. The next day John seeth Messiah coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of Yahweh, which taketh away the sin of the world (seen and unseen).

Gal 3: v13. Messiah hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:

What's that got to do with the name? The pearl scripture:

Deu 29: v20. Yahweh will not spare him, but then the anger of Yahweh and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him (our Creator), and Yahweh shall blot out his (human) name from under heaven.

The Bible can't contradict itself. Our Creator in the flesh is the only one who has died in sin. He's the only sin sponge and his human name as well as his body and blood was defiled by all sins past present and future! Thus, when our Creator died, his human name was supposed to be blotted out of the scriptures. However, the high priests blotted out his resurrected name and his father's name. Which name did he inherit when he died? 

Heb 1: v4. Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance (his physical death) obtained a more excellent name than they.

Psa 148: v13. Let them praise the name of Yahweh: for his name alone is excellent; his glory [is] above the earth and heaven.

Is it okay to baptize in any name or title? What do the scriptures say? 

Mat 28: v19. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name (singular name, not names, not titles such as Lord or God which were not in the original scriptures) of the Father, and of the Son (YahwehShua contains the name of the Father Yahweh and the name of the Son YahwehShua. Holy Spirit was not in the original scriptures)!

 Someone once told me baptism wasn’t important. Really? What does the word say?

2Co 5: v5. Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing [is] Yahweh (the Father), who also hath given unto us the earnest (down payment of his Son or seed of Messiah) of the Spirit (Spirit of Messiah=Holy Spirit).

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 or Holy Spirit of the Son), whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Thus, the Bible says you have to get baptized in the singular NAME of the Father and Son to receive a down payment or seed of the Holy Spirit of Messiah in you! Revelation chapter 1 through 3 and Paul confirm that overcoming and repenting is required for the Holy Spirit of Messiah to mature in you in order to keep the commandments or have a shot at being a part of 144 thousand.

 Rev 2: v16. Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

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.

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

There is no salvation in any human name or title and this is confirmed by the prophet Joel, Peter, and the Messiah himself! 

Jol 2: v32. And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of Yahweh (not a title, not jc, not g-d, not lord) shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as Yahweh hath said, and in the remnant (potential Saints) whom Yahweh shall call.   

Act 4: v11. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

V12. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men (no human name, not even the human name of Messiah), whereby we must be saved.

Jhn 5: v43. I am come in my Father’s name, (Yahweh) and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

If Aaron, a physical high priest, had to have the name Yahweh on his mitre to enter the earthly Holy of Holies, a copy of the true Holy of Holies in heaven. When our high priest enters the true Holy of Holies of the Father in heaven he must have the heavenly name YahwehShua on his mitre. No human name would be able to enter.

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.

Heb 9: 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:

It's black and white in the scriptures. You need baptism in the correct name to get the down payment and begin overcoming to have a chance at being with Elijah and Moses and the 144,000 Saints when they receive a spiritual body. It is my belief that Elijah and Moses will be the two witnesses testifying for 3 and 1/2 years prior to the seventh trump!

Mal 4: v5. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of YAHWEH:

Want to meet Messiah in the air with Moses and Elijah and be part of the 144,000?    The correct singular NAME of the Father and Son is everything! Your salvation depends on it! It's the key that unlocks the door!

HalleluYahwehShua!

A DAY OF SALVATION

What a difference a day makes compared to the day of salvation.

2Co 6: v2. For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now [is] the accepted time; behold, now [is] the day of salvation.)

I guess the 6,000 years is the only chance to be in the kingdom. No other chances to be in the family? Isaiah has it right and is the original scripture mistakenly translated.

 Isa 49: v8. Thus saith Yahweh, in an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages .

This 6,000 year period is a day of salvation for the 144,000 saints. Our Creator speaks in parables to blind most of the world; not many are called out, even fewer are chosen.

Mat 13: v10. And the disciples came, and said unto him, why speakest thou unto them in parables?

V11. He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

Luk 8: v10. And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Yahweh: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

Luk 12: v32. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Those that are baptized in the correct name, repent and overcome daily have a chance to be in the 144,000 at the 7th Trump, if Messiah is fully formed in you by that time. There are Old Covenant and New Covenant Saints.

 John 10: v16. And other sheep I have (Old Covenant Saints), which are not of this fold (New Covenant Saints): them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one-fold, [and] one shepherd.

So, the majority of people in the past 6,000 years were not even called. Are they ever going to get a chance to be in the family? No chance if this 6,000 years is the day (only day) of salvation. Remember, Isaiah has it right, today is a day of salvation and there will be another day (later day) of salvation. There will be an opportunity for all humans that are not part of the 144,000 to be in the family! What, that's crazy, how can that be possible? A clue:

Isa 66: v23. And it shall come to pass, [that] from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith Yahweh.

All flesh is certainly not worshiping him now so when is this period of time? None other than the Millennial Sabbath of YahwehZidkenu for a 1000 years.

During the Millennial Sabbath, our Creator and 144,000 Saints in spiritual bodies assuming a physical shape will teach all humanity, all aborted fetuses, everyone who ever lived, Hitler, even murderers. Impossible you say? Read the article titled Life and Death. If Messiah can extend Lazarus’s life after being dead 4 days, he can extend everyone else's physical life after 4,000 years.

Jhn 11: v39. Messiah said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Messiah, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been [dead] four days.

V44. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Messiah saith unto them, loose him, and let him go.

All flesh not part of the 144,000 at the 7th Trump will have their physical life extended just like Lazarus into the millennium. Some have trouble with the following scriptures:

Rev 20: v3. And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after that he must be loosed a little season (first hundred years of the Last Great Day where every one else gets a chance to overcome the adversary, i.e. another day of salvation).

V4. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and [I saw] the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Messiah, and for the word of Yahweh, and which had not worshipped the beast (creature=creation), neither his image (false idols, worshiping creation rather than the Creator), neither had received [his] mark (ignoring the Sabbath or working any day you want) upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with YahwehZidkenu a thousand years.

V5. But the rest of the dead (spiritually dead those who did not receive a spiritual body at the 7th Trump like the 144,000) lived not again (can have their physical life extended into the millennium but no resurrection to a spiritual body) until the thousand years were finished (no more spiritual bodies until after the millennium and the first hundred years where the adversary is let out in the Last Great Day, then those who overcome him have a chance to be in the family as part of the innumerable multitude and receive a spiritual body at the second later spiritual resurrection after the millennium). This [is] the first resurrection (first and better resurrection is for the 144,000 Saints at the seventh trumpet prior to the millennium).

V6. Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of YahwehZidkenu, and shall reign with YahwehZidkenu a thousand years.

So every human ever created, every aborted fetus, all will get a chance to be in the family. The adversary is put away for a thousand years so all flesh will live for a thousand years and know our Creator perfectly. Then the adversary will be let out for about a hundred years at the start of the Last Great Day and will deceive most people and will lead up to the great battle of Gog and Magog, similar to Armageddon prior to the Millennium. Nonetheless, if you fail at this stage, you will still be given the gift of an endless life and live outside the kingdom eternally. What? That's crazy! The following scriptures show that people thrown in the lake of fire end up living outside the kingdom externally.

Rev 21: v8. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Rev 22: v15. For without (outside New Jerusalam,) [are] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.

Our Creator even told the Pharisees who put him to death that they will be gods (live eternally outside the kingdom). 

Jhn 10: v34. Messiah answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

V35. If he called them gods, unto whom the word of Yahweh came, and the scripture can not be broken;

Remember death is thrown into the lake of fire.

Rev 20: v14. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.

2Ti 1: v10. But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour YahwehShua Messiah, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

Even the fallen angels, and the adversary are going to be fixed, reconciled, purified by the lake of fire, and live outside the kingdom eternally. What? Is YahwehShua too weak to fix all his creation? Yahweh forbid!

Num 31: v23. Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make [it] go through the fire, and it shall be clean:

Col 1: v18. And he is the head of the body, the assembly: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have the preeminence.

V19. For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all fulness dwell;

V20. And, having made peace through the blood of his beam in the tree, by him to reconcile (restore a right relationship) all things unto himself; by him, [I say,] whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven (the only things in heaven that need reconciliation is the adversary and fallen angels!).

 A short summary of those who have died physically and then received spiritual bodies and live eternally:

 Approximately, 2000 years ago Messiah received his spiritual body and ascended to the Father as Yahweh Shua. At the future 7th trumpet, 144,000 Saints will receive spiritual bodies and ascend in the air up to YahwehShua prior to Armageddon. Likely the innumerable multitude will ascend to the 144,000 Saints prior to the great battle of Gog Magog, after the Millennial Sabbath when the adversary is let out. All other creation including the fallen angels, the adversary, and humans that fail to ever overcome despite being thrown in the lake of fire will live outside the kingdom in spiritual bodies because death is put in the lake of fire .

So this 6,000 years is a day of salvation for the 144,000. The first hundred years of the Last Great Day is a day of salvation for the rest of humanity and the ones that overcome will be part of the innumerable multitude in the kingdom!

What a difference a day makes!

HalleluYahwehShua!

STAKE? BEAM? CROSS?

Today we had a great discussion regarding the greatest act of love of all time. Was our Creator nailed to a beam, a cross, a tree, impaled? While not a salvation issue, it is a interesting subject. What does the Bible say?  

Mrk 15: v30. Save thyself, and come down from the cross.

Luk 23: v26. And as they led him away, they laid hold of one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear [it] after Messiah.

Jhn 19: v23. Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Messiah, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also [his] coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.

Looks like a cross, but what is the Strong’s definition for cross and crucified? 

Notice upright stake or beam.

 Other scriptures mention a beam or a tree.

Act 13: v29. And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him (Messiah), they took [him] down from the tree, and laid [him] in a sepulchre.

V30. But Yahweh the Father raised him from the dead:

V31. And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.  

 Gal 3:13 YahwehShua hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree:

Act 5: v30. Yahweh the Father raised up YahwehShua Messiah, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree.

1Pe 2: v24. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

What is the Strong's definition of tree? 

Notice upright stake or beam.

When the Messiah was with his disciples in his resurrected spiritual body assuming a human shape, he mentions his hands and feet.

Jhn 20: v27. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust [it] into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

V28. And Thomas answered and said unto him, My YahwehShua.

V29. YahwehShua saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.

Luk 24: v36. And as they thus spake, Messiah himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.

V37. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

V38. And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? And why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

V39. Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have (his resurrected spiritual body assuming a physical shape likely this will also be the case in the Millennial Sabbath).

 A sister brought up an interesting point that if he was impaled, it was likely the spear that was the used on him. She is right. Impaling a human body on a sharp stake through the internal organs would be a quick death. This is why the soldier pierced him, he wanted to be sure he was dead, this would quickly finish him off before the high Sabbath, or if he moved after the piercing they would break his legs.

Jhn 19: v32. Then came the soldiers, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other which was crucified with him (3 in the tree).

V33. But when they came to Messiah, and saw that he was dead already, they brake not his legs:

V34. But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came there out blood and water.

What did our Creator say through Moses about being lifted up?

Jhn 3: v14. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up.

This greatest act of love of all time is going to fix all creation including the fallen angels, the adversary, and anyone who's not part of the 144,000 and the innumerable multitude, will get an endless life outside the kingdom. 

Col 1: v20. And, having made peace through the blood of his cross (upright stake or beam), by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say,] whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven (fallen angels and the adversary).

 Putting these scriptures together, it's likely our Creator was stretched out on a beam and had his wrists nailed (between the distal ulnar and radial bones as a brother pointed out if not Messiah would pull out from the nail) above his head and his ankles pulled down and stretched further and nailed to the bottom of the beam. The rope (likely a flax rope) was likely thrown over a limb and then attached to the top of the beam and the beam pulled up into the tree lifting him up with the other two criminals. Pulling a cross up into a tree would be more difficult because of tree branches. The beam rope and nails could be used over and over with that damaging the tree. 

My brothers and sisters figured out all this today on our weekly Sabbath, they are teaching me!

Iron sharpens iron but I think their iron is a little sharper than my iron! 

Pro 27: v17. Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.

HalleluYahwehShua!
