--Sharing our Lord and Saviour Yahushua, Yeshua the Messiah to the World!—
Please Note: On this site we prefer to use the
actual Name of our loving Heavenly Father as it was written in the Hebrew and
thus you will note that we will use the four letter “Memorial Name”
of 
- YHVH, which is pronounced as YaHVaH or YaHWaH,
also we will use our Heavenly Father’s title, which is “Elohim” rather
than “God.” We need to remember that “Elohim” (God) is
NOT a name but an attribute, a title! In addition we also love to use the
actual/real Name of our beloved “Messiah” in Greek written as “Christos”,
but His loving Name is 
- “Yahushua” or “Yeshua” in short,
for this is our Saviours original Hebrew Name as given to Him in Lukas - Luke
1:31. This was the only Name ever used when He was on the earth by His family,
disciples and His followers for hundreds of years thereafter. However, it was
changed to a foreign name by that new Church, that later became known as
“the greater
The three levels of learning &
understanding of the blessed Word of
When we read and study the blessed Scriptures, the Word of YHVH Elohim (The LORD God)
When we read and study the blessed Scriptures, the Word of YHVH Elohim as a believer in Yahushua (Yeshua) the Messiah, we should keep following three steps always in mind for they are a valuable guide and it will certainly provide us with guidance and illuminate the sheer beauty and the fullness of YHVH’s most blessed Word.
1. Who was YHVH
Elohim, blessed be His Holy Name speaking to?
2. When was it
said?
3. How was His Word understood at the time it was spoken/given?
I do believe that these three points are most
relevant to our understanding of 1. What the Almighty is saying at the time
– 2. As well as what it means to us today - and 3. Especially to you and
me right now!
Shalom in - Yahushua
Ha Mashiach - Yeshua the Messiah!
Ministry Elder & Teacher;
May we first say that we are a 100% self
funded ministry and completely dedicated to spreading the wonderful and blessed
truth of
In our ministry we are blessed and fortunate that the founder, elder and teacher, brother Reuben ben Gershom is a Hebrew believer (since 1977) who came out of an ultra orthodox Jewish background and at the time he was a younger leader of his community, and therefore he has an intimate knowledge and understanding of the Hebrew Scriptures! But seven years later The Lord sent him a very special assistant to enter the ministry, and is thus the second in charge of the work. But this wonderful brother whose full name is Kostandinos Yurio Chanzantonakis, or as we like to simply call him these days, this dear brother who is obviously Greek and he has a deep understanding of the Scriptural Greek. Therefore together we lovingly study the Word from both perspectives, Hebrew as well as the Greek and when we then work these together with the various translations we discover so many blessed gems that are obviously not found in the translations, for they simply do not contain, let say for the Hebrew Scriptures, Hebrew thinking and understanding, as per the three point at the top of the page! However, the Word that we have in the KJV,. NKJV, or be it other translations contain the truth and that is what matters, including the acknowledgement that there was a literal six day creation and that our Heavenly Father added an additional day for rest and Holy use, that gave us for all time what we know as a seven day week that continues to this day. What is known these days as Sunday was known in the Scriptures as “Day One” and Saturday, being Day Seven was known Scripturally the “Sabbath.” In addition, we have also discovered that once you understand the keys to unlock the prophecies of the blessed Scriptures, they can be understood and best still you can do this without any private interpretation. For this is so clearly stated in Revelations 1:3 is the following …
“Blessed is the one who reads the words
of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what
is written in it, because the time is near.”
Sadly the Scriptures
“For the time will come when men will
not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will
gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears
want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.”
We are also warned that Elohim’s people
will perish for a lack of knowledge because they would reject knowledge and yes
beloved, Yahushua Himself warns us again and again not to be deceived and that
if it were possible even the very elect will be deceived. Revelation
says that in the end, the world will be deceived by the miracles that the enemy
gives power to the beast to do. We therefore must realise that one should never
underestimate the power and deceptions of HaSatan (
Today there are a substantial number of
Christians who are unaware that some of the beliefs in Church will have
originated from manmade traditions and worse still, much of it has come
directly out of paganism. The current day of worship is a good example of this,
as it originated from SUN worship being the reason why we have the pagan name SUN-day.
You will have been told that it was changed in honour of the resurrection of
our Lord and Saviour. Beloved that is a lie, for history records clearly that
during their lifetime the apostles and for hundreds of years believers in
Messiah worshipped on the Seventh Day – the “Sabbath”
the day now known by the Roman name of “Saturday” (a name related
to the god Saturn and remember we now live by a pagan Roman calendar). It was
the SUN god worshipper
“On the venerable Day of the Sun
let the magistrates and people residing in cities rest, and let all workshops
be closed.” (Codex Justinianus 3.12.3).
We should always trust the example set by our
“The Judeans all know the way I have
lived ever since I was a child, from the beginning of my life in my own
country, and also in
Notice in the following verse that this is a Judean synagogue and that Judeans have all through history, without change, worshipped on the Sabbath as they still do today. Acts 17:2 …
“…they came to Thessalonica, where
there was a Synagogue. As his CUSTOM was, Shaul went into the
synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from Scriptures.”
Since it was also Yahushua’s custom to go to the Synagogue (Luke 4:16) Shaul and the early faithful and Yahushua assured us not one stroke or letter of the Law is going to pass, then we also follow their example and enjoy the promised blessings of Elohim’s Holy Sabbath day. Most of the misunderstanding in this area comes from confusion between the Rabbinic Law (which is man-made and false) and the Ten Commandments!
We believe that there is only one way to establish our Heavenly Father’s truth and it is not just by taking what we tell you or whatever your most trusted friends or even your pastor may tell or teach you. Beloved, Elohim’s children need to be like the Berean the believers who “received the message with great eagerness and examined Scriptures every day to see if what Shaul said was true” Acts 17:10-12,
“Shaul and Silas away to Beroia. On arriving there, they went to the Synagogue. Now
the Beroian’s were of a more noble character
than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and
they examined the Scriptures (the Tenach, that is the Old Testament) every day
to see if what Shaul (
This is a good example of the way to get back to the Scripturally based belief system, as it was in the days of the early “Ecclesia” of the faithful, and put aside the traditions of men that have become accepted doctrines over the centuries, which sadly have obscured the original teachings and examples of Yahushua and the Apostles.
Our certainty is that we have been saved through the Shed Blood of the “Passover Lamb of Elohim” by the death and resurrection of Yahushua our Messiah, and that He saved us from the penalty of our sins once and for all, for no further sacrifices are ever required! Although we recognize that because Yahushua has saved us from the consequences of the Law, this does not mean that we no longer have to obey Elohim’s Law of love, but to the contrary it amplifies our desire to follow Elohim’s Commandments to the best of our ability, because 1. we love Him. 2. We know what an enormous price the Messiah paid on our behalf, and doing what He asked of us is but a small thing to do!
“You are my friends if you do what I
command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his
master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I
learned from My Father I have made known to you.” Yochannan -
“‘There is only One who is good.
If you want to enter life, obey the commandments.’ ‘Which
ones?’ the man inquired. Yahushua replied, ‘Do not murder, do not
commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honour your father
and mother, and love your neighbour as yourself.’” Mattityahu -
We conscientiously follow the teachings of
Yahushua who clearly demonstrated in the Word that not every
By Elohim’s
“For if we sin WILFULLY after that we
have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains NO MORE sacrifice for
sins … He that despised Moses’ law died without mercy under two or
three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought
worthy, who has trodden under foot the Son of Elohim, and has counted the blood
of the covenant, wherewith He was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has done
despite unto the Spirit of GRACE?”
We also believe in teaching the Ten Commandments as Yahushua informed us that He did not come to destroy the law and that we are not only to obey it but to TEACH it also. In Matthew Chapter 19, as shown above, Yahushua tells the man to obey the Ten Commandments and names five of these and adds the two famed “LOVE your Neighbour” laws. Then in chapter 5 Yahushua assures us that not even a stroke of the pen would pass from the law, let alone an entire Commandment. Mattityahu - Matthew 5:17-19 He states …
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (And that is the time of the Kingdom of Elohim -God) Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Eternity: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of Eternity.”
We find in the remainder of Chapter 5 that Yahushua not only did not come to destroy the law but instead fulfils prophecy by magnifying the law as it was prophesied that He would in Yeshayahu - Isaiah 42:21 …
“YHVH is well pleased for His
righteousness’ sake; He will MAGNIFY the Law and make it honourable.”
When you truly know and love Yahushua as your Lord and Saviour, it is a natural progression to seek to follow and obey Him, as love and obedience are inseparable in the true believers life. The beloved Yochannan - John summed it up in these words, 1 Yochannan - 1 John 5:3
“For this is the love of Elohim, that we keep his Commandments: and His Commandments are not burdensome.”
Yahushua expressed it plainly and simply using these words found in Yochannan - John 14:15 which He quotes from the Second Commandment … “If you love Me, keep My Commandments.” And finally, there can be no misunderstanding the meaning and blessing of these words. Revelation 22:14 … “Blessed are they that do His Commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”
Beloved just a note. Remember when our Lord and His apostles were in a field on a Sabbath and they picked some wheat to eat and they were accused of breaking the Sabbath law? Well the truth is not understood by many, for Elohim (God’s) law was not broken at all, for the only law that was broken was the Hebraic man made laws, which made the entire law a huge burden on the people of Israel, to the point, most can no longer remember the laws of Moshe as given to Israel by the almighty, which were a grand total of 613, but the priests and rabbis managed to add thousand of useless laws that are NOT from the Almighty. Our dear brother Reuben who came out of all this, not only came out from the days of the Holocaust in Europe, but also the yoke of the Jewish law, which was 80% man made, and Yahushua set him free! But he continues to uphold the Sabbath and the Feasts of YaHVaH Elohim as our Saviour did! However, in some of the Epistles, Shaul also speaks of laws that are not to be kept, but, again we need to under stand who he was speaking to and how they understood what he was saying at the time, but sadly we read it with our thoughts of today and our modern minds. But, Shaul was speaking about the Oral laws, not YaHVaH’s, for if He did he would have gone against Yahushua’s teachings and he would have been eliminated by the Almighty, but he was not, for he was blessed in his ministry. Sadly, it has been the anti Judaic Roman Crusade that has enlarged this whole idea and when brother Kostandinos went deeper into the original Greek he was astounded with the differences of the translations found in what we see, and what was written. But that is another subject altogether!
It was never Elohim’s intention for His beloved Body in Messiah to be divided into multiple “denominations” and sadly, we have found through experience that many choose to judge what they read based on one’s denomination. We have also discovered that the more truth a Fellowship has, the more lies the enemy will throw against it to keep people from finding truth. But then a Fellowship with the truth seldom has many followers, for people in general are made of the - I, me and myself! That is why, what we like to call the KFC Churches, such as Hillsong, the worldwide Pentecostals, Charismatic, and the big rock band and come and dance and have party fellowships, where they preach and screem …. “ O …. Lordy JESUS … JESUS, come to JESUS”, but you will never hear the word REPENTANCE for Satan hates that word!
Sadly we are well aware that the truth is not very popular, whilst what is popular is a twisting of the original into a lie add some spice and you will get results. Mark Twain once said, “A lie can travel halfway around the world, while truth puts on its shoes.”
Those having a denominational name will give Satan something to attack and many Christians have the tendency to judge truth by denomination rather than the Word of the Almighty, well we have chosen not to come under any denomination for that was never the Father’s plan, you are either His and are saved, covered by the Blood of the Lamb, having repented and been Immersed (Baptised) or you are not. It is simple as that, who needs a denominational name?
Beloved, I trust that from the above you will have an idea of who we are in principle as far as sharing the Word with you on this Web Site. However, just below the following Scriptures, Brother Reuben would add a little about the meaning of the name of the ministry Return Movement, for you will find it quite interesting and Scriptural!
“Yahushua saith unto him, I am the way
and the TRUTH.” Yochannan - John 14:6.
“Sanctify them through Your Truth: Your
WORD is TRUTH.” Yochannan - John 17:17.
“ … when you received the Word of Elohim which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of men, but as it is in TRUTH, the Word of Elohim, which effectually works also in you that believe.” 1 Thessalonians 2:13.
In a verse related to the Passover, Shaul of Tarsus (Paul) said, “Therefore let us keep the feast … of unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” 1 Corinthians 5:8. This proves very clearly that the apostle Shaul and the faithful, long after Yahushua our Lord and Saviour had returned to His Father, and many years later all the believers in Judea, but also in other foreign lands were celebrating the Passover, the other feasts, and they also upheld the forth commandment the seventh day Sabbath! For interest, here is the same verse (1 Corinthians 5:8) but in full to prove this point regarding the feasts Read Leviticus Chapter 23.
“Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.”

The RETURN Movement
International
(RMI Ministries
International)
With Elder
& Teacher,
Having come to know my beloved Saviour in 1977, there is one thing I know, I was clearly led to do and that was not to read any books written by man for the next seven years and immerse myself in the most Holy Word of YHVH Elohim (the LORD God)! By doing this I was richly blessed because I was not defiled by denominational theologies, etc and I was also very careful who, and with I worshipped with! However, in 1978, I felt the call of ministry on my life and a ministry name came to me of “The RETURN Movement International.”
At first the name may not sound that significant to many, but believe me it certainly will to all who are going to be touched by the ministry! Let me explain, the word “RETURN” in Hebrew is “SHUV” and that translates as “Turn Back” – “Repent” – “To be Healed.” The letters are in capitals for it is our first and foremost mission! Also, they are in red, for it is ONLY through the Blood of Yahushua the Messiah, who gave His life freely for the sin of the world in order that those who believe and repent are forgiven! The word “Movement” is in Italics and coloured in blue. First; it is an ongoing movement of ministry and outreach to touch as many lives and sinners as well as who are in various Churches, but are still lost! Second; it is blue because we must be led by the Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit in the true sense and not that Pentecostal type, thus it is a work covered with much prayer. “The” OK, this looks all too simple, but it is our call to action for the word following it relates directly to Repentance! Thus, “The” speaks to us of – “get going and we would be going worldwide!” - “RMI Ministries International” is our additional name, with the “RMI” being based on our original ministry name!
Close towards the end of my seven years of
study, I first met brother Kostandinos in 1983, and
then we commenced our road journey around
Since commencing our journey we have covered the length and breath of this country. We were wonderfully provided with a mobile home, and later with a huge printer, on which we printed tracts, written by myself, and these were handed out around the country as well as some 50,000 pocket sized Gospel’s of John we purchased from the “Pocket Testament League” in Sydney. You may ask, did we send out news, come BEG letters? No, we departed our home city with a small amount of cash and a tank full of petrol, and believed Yahushua – Give us this day Lord our Daily Bread.” And blessed be His Holy Name, we had sufficient wherever we went, and sufficient to purchase to buy and item for the printer at their office in Adelaide and we also had to buy paper. The person serving us turned out to be the manager and he asked, but what do you do in that camper? He had looked at the machine and he was astonished at the number of copies it had made since we had obtained it only several months ago! Thus we had the opportunity to share the Word with him and leave some tracts with him. Then, thank You Lord Yahushua, he gave us all the paper, and some additional spare parts for our printer and sent us on the way, whilst he was reading a tract!
Since then we have travelled throughout the world, all that’s to the Lord and He is to be praised, but, sadly although the Word is well received by the congregations, but pastors never invite us back, for they cannot handle the fullness of the TRUE WORD of YHVH Elohim! And on top of that their members tend to spend a great deal of time with us after the meeting, and they are not happy about that at all. Thus, it does seem that there are people that do want it and so we have the online Word of YaHVaH Elohim and Yahushua!
But please remember this, our Lord did ask of us … “ASK it IN MY NAME” Jesus is Not His name, it is a foreign name. Our Redeemers Name is Yahushua, the same as Joshua (Yahushua) who led the Children of Israel into the “Land of Milk and Honey.” “Strongs NT:2424: Iesous (ee-ay-sooce'); of Hebrew origin [OT:3091]; Jesus (i.e. Jehoshua), the name of our Lord and two (three) other Israelites.” Of course in Hebrew there is no “J” so that should read “Yahoshua” – thus it is just a matter between an ‘o’ or a ‘u’ and that does not really matter!
But it is vital we use His Name, for the other name is NOT His Name for it was introduced later, for even the Name Joshua was written as Iesous, thus why was he translated as Joshua, and the most important person ever to have lived on earth received a name that is highly questionable? Read “The Memorial Name” that cover the Father and the Son’s Names!
May YHVH Elohim (the LORD God) bless and keep
you in the palm of His hand in the blessed Name of Yahushua our Messiah!

Yahushua said; “No one can come to Me unless the
Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. It is
written in the Prophets: They will all be taught by Elohim. Everyone who
listens to the Father and learns from Him comes to Me. No one has seen the
Father except the One who is from Elohim; only He has seen the Father. I tell
you the truth he who believes has everlasting life.”
