--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 Roman Church.” Occasionally, we may also use other Hebrew or Greek names and words in our studies, but these will be translated when they are used, either the first time in a study or at various times as needed for clarity. For an explanation of YHVH’s most Holy and blessed “Memorial Name” and the wonderful Name of our Messiah: Please read The Memorial Name.

The three levels of learning & understanding of the blessed Word of YaHVaH 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 - Peace be with you, in Yahushua THE Messiah!

“Scriptural Truths” & “Ha Davar Word Studies.”

What are these Two men all about?

Because the world will be in spiritual darkness after the catching away, YaHVaH Elohim (the LORD Elohim), will raise up two special witnesses to gather a harvest for the kingdom of Elohim among Israel and the nations during that time. The message in Revelation 7 (‘Salvation in the hour of darkness’) mention was made of the 144 000 Jewish evangelists who will be assigned to the evangelistic ministry. In Revelation 11, mention is made of the Two Witnesses who will be mightily used of YaHVaH Elohim, blessed be His Holy Name, to proclaim the truth of His Word as well as to proclaim His and Yahushua’s Names, for that has been neglected since the Greek translation of the Hebrew Gospels and they will strongly rebuke His enemies as stated so clearly in the following verses:

“And I will give power to My two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands standing before the Elohim (God) of the earth. And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.

Now when they finish their testimony, the beast that ascends out of the bottomless pit will make war against them, overcome them, and kill them. And their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. Then those from the peoples, tribes, tongues, and nations will see their dead bodies three and a half days, and not allow their dead bodies to be put into graves. And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them, make merry, and send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

Now after the three and a half days the breath of life from Elohim entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them: Come up here. And they ascended to heaven in a cloud, and their enemies saw them. In the same hour there was a great earthquake, and a tenth of the city fell. In the earthquake seven thousand people were killed, and the rest were afraid and gave glory to the Elohim of heaven." Revelation 11:3-13.

However, we also know from the blessed Word of YaHVaH Elohim that there will be two very special men, who apparently will be like Moshe and Eliyahu (Moses and Elijah), but be assured it will not be them, for both died and will be part of the later resurrection. Many do not realise that when Eliyahu was taken up, and what I am about to tell you is never taught by theologians or pastors, regarding what really happened to Eliyahu. He was as it states in the Word was taken up and away by the Father, for his work as a prophet of Elohim was done and completed! We also know that his mantle (cloak) and a “double portion” would fall as a blessing upon his servant, Elisha.

Where did Eliyahu – Elijah go when he was taken up?

Many are not aware that many years later when there was a new king on the throne, Eliyahu wrote this king, whose name was Jehoram of Judah a letter, and this is clearly written in 2 Chronicles …

“Jehoram received a letter from Eliyahu the prophet” 2 Chronicles 21:12.

Considering that King Jehoram reigned a considerable time after Eliyahu had been taken up, we should ask, but did Eliyahu not go to heaven? No he did not for the Word never actually said that! The truth is that Eliyahu was taken up into heaven, or rather the *sky out of sight and transported somewhere else, and it seems like he was no longer in Israel, but in Judah, for her wrote the king of Judah regarding an important question, even though we are not told what the contents was. Many will also be aware that more of the kings of Judah were faithful (no not all) and most of the faithful kings were blessed with long rule, at least 40 years. Whereas the evil ones had a short rule, especially those in Israel, which were mostly evil in the sight of YaHVaH!

*Sky: The Hebrew word for “heaven” is “shamayim” and the Whittaker BDB Hebrew Lexicon provides the following detail regarding its meaning: “Heavens or sky, being the visible sky were fowl fly, with waters beneath and in clouds above.” Abridged version. It also states in the HALOT Hebrew Lexicon; “Should be composed with the relative-determinative pronoun to mean that which is of the waters, or the place for water.” This speaks of course of the clouds, which contains water, and mayim is a word that essentially means “water”! Thus what you drink every day is like heaven, water, a gift from YaHVaH Elohim! To date No man, dead or alive has seen the Heavenly Father, for the Word tell’s us this very clearly. No man has ever entered heaven, only our beloved Messiah, who has returned to His rightful place!

The point is these two witness will be two faithful men chosen by YaHVaH Elohim Himself and most likely they will be alive somewhere in the world right now, and they will not have any idea that they may be chosen for this role, but they will be part of the true faithful in Yahushua The Messiah, and certainly not members o the harlot church or its daughters, which are part of the anti-christ!

Therefore it is more likely that two outstandingly gifted men, possibly a Messianic Jew and another from the body will be chosen by the Lord, and it will be they who will be given the spirit and power of Eliyahu and Moshe. It may, therefore, be instructive to review aspects of the role, exploits and ministry of these two great prophets of Israel, who were singled out for the great honour of appearing on the Mount of Transfiguration with our blessed Messiah Yahushua Himself in a “Vision” as many of the parallels with the two witnesses are quite remarkable.

Let me commence with Eliyahu:

It is recorded in the last two verses of the Tenach (Hebrew for the Old Testament) that “YaHVaH of Hosts” declared:

“Behold, I will send you Eliyahu the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of YHVH. And He will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.” Malochi – Malachi 4:5-6.

As we will know this prophecy was partly fulfilled at Messiah’s first coming, when the apostles mentioned that “the scribes say that Eliyahu must come first.” To this our Lord Yahushua replied: “Eliyahu has come already.” Then they understood that He was referring to Yochannan the Immerser (John the Baptist) - Mattityahu - Matthew 17:10-13, of whom the angel Gabriel prophesied that he would;

“… turn many of the children of Israel to YHVH their Elohim” and “go before Him in the spirit and power of Eliyahu, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” Lukas - Luke 1:13-17 based on Malochi – Malachi 4:5-6.

I fully believe that the prophecy of Malachi 4:5-6 will be fulfilled completely before Yahushua’s second coming because, just as Yochannan the Immerser acted 'in the spirit and power of Eliyahu’ during his days and Messiah's first coming, so will the two witnesses act in the very same spirit and power within the first half of the Tribulation, and a good 1,260 days before Yahushua’s second coming. They will prepare His way by turning unbelievers as well as many of the children of Israel to rediscover the Name of YaHVaH their Elohim and turn their hearts towards Yahushua their Lord and Redeemer!

For these three and a half years, of Daniel's 70th week, and before the darkest of days of the great tribulation during the second half of the week, which is known as the “Time of Ya’akov’s (Jacob’s) Trouble”, these two witnesses will minister so powerfully to the people of Israel that a remnant of the nation will return to the Elohim of their fathers. In defiance of the Anti-messiah’s ideology of abolishing national identity to achieve world unity, the two witnesses will succeed in restoring this remnant’s national identity and calling as a people uniquely chosen of Elohim. There will be a serious generation gap due, probably, to the younger generation preferring to abandon their distinctive national identity in favour of the Anti-messiah’s globalism and the worshipping of the cosmic messiah of all the different faiths, while the older generation will cling to the many orthodox pagan based traditions and a lifeless form of godliness due to the continued rejection of the true Messiah whose Name is Yahushua and not Zeus, known in the world as Jesus, or he-SUS, which actually means a “hail to Zeus”. The inspired ministry of the two witnesses will succeed in bridging this gap with many of those who have entered the tribulation from the many churches, who had believed that they were going to be caught up, but there they are, indeed caught up, but in the wrong place the tribulation and not with the faithful with the Lord! But many of these will see the works and hear the words of the two witnesses and change and finally reject the false “Lords Day” Sunday worship and go back to the day that our Lord and Saviour, His apostles and His faithful upheld for hundred of years, and millions still do today! They will reject the two pagan festivals, 1 the ancient Egyptian and Babylonian feast of the goddess Ishtar (easter) and the Babylonian feast of the winter solstice christmas. Thus many will stop the birthday feast for it is not Scriptural, and uphold the Feasts of YHVH Elohim according His Word and keep Passover, for our Lord and Saviour is “the Passover sacrificed for us.” The two witnesses will thus be unifying the many past church members in a new-found faith prior to the coming Yahushua Ha Mashiach, the Messiah, but it will come at a great cost, for during the second half of the tribulation there will be great pain and death for the faithful in the Lord.

Eliyahu is known as the prophet who was mightily used of Elohim to perform great miracles in Israel. When he ascended to heaven in a whirlwind, Elisha, his successor, said of him: “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” 2 Melachim – Kings 2:12. To Israel, he was worth more than its defence force and chariots because the power of the Lord worked so strongly through him. The two witnesses will come in that same power and the fear of YaHVaH will come upon many people. Eliyahu raised the widow’s child from the dead and confronted the prophets of the false religion of Baal, successfully calling down fire from heaven to defeat them. He also “prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months” (Ya’akov - James 5:17). In a similar way, the two witnesses will, in the spirit and power of Eliyahu, miraculously use fire to defeat the false prophets of the Anti-messiah’s world religion and to shut up heaven so that no rain falls during the days of their prophecy, for possibly the entire three and a half years?

Then there is the greatest of all Old Testament prophets of Elohim, Moshe:

The two witnesses will also come in the spirit and power of Moshe who was, of course, the great leader whom Elohim raised up to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt, then through the wilderness and to the borders of the Promised Land for a full forty years. He was given the role as a mediator through whom Elohim gave His Torah, the Law to Israel, and through them to the world, and who interceded with Elohim on their behalf. Like Eliyahu, Moshe was mightily used of Elohim to perform great signs, wonders and miraculous acts of power:

“Since then there has not arisen in Israel a prophet like Moshe, whom YHVH knew face to face, in all the signs and wonders which YHVH sent him to do in the land of Egypt, before Pharaoh, before all his servants, and in all his land, and by all that mighty power and all the great terror which Moshe performed in the sight of all Israel.” Davarim - Deuteronomy 34:10-12.

Moshe directly confronted the evil and pagan sun worshipping Pharaoh because of his oppression of the Children of Israel and Moshe announced severe plagues upon the land and people of Egypt. Likewise the two witnesses will withstand the anti-messiah and his wicked global empire who will also oppress the people of Israel, and strike the earth with awesome plagues. They will use their miraculous power to kill any enemies who seek to harm them.

Moshe was an outstanding picture, a type of the Messiah for in many ways he foreshadowed and clearly prophesied Him;

“YHVH your Elohim will raise up for you a Prophet like Me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear.” Davarim - Deuteronomy 18:15.

By this prophecy Moshe was clearly preparing the Children of Israel for both the first and second coming of their Messiah Yahushua. Tragically, as a nation they rejected Him at His first coming. However, praise be to Elohim, there were also many who did believe as we know from the Brit Chadasha (Hebrew for – New Covenant) and of course all the apostles were Hebrews, even though some had dual citizenship, which does confuse some!

In the spirit and power that both Moshe and Eliyahu, had, the two witnesses will urgently and powerfully prepare the remnant of Israel for the second coming at the conclusion of the Tribulation and the Time of “Jacob’s Trouble” when their true Messiah will return visibly with His saints. The witnesses will strongly urge everyone to abrogate and renounce their covenant with the false messiah and prophet. The witnesses will admonish and teach the remnant of Israel that they, as well as the witnesses themselves, will have to suffer reproach and persecution for their loyalty to the true Messiah, Yahushua, and His coming Kingdom in which Israel will have a key role to play. Both Eliyahu and Moshe faced great opposition and suffered affliction because of their faithful witness and dedication to Elohim and His people. Of Moshe it is said:

“By faith Moshe, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of Elohim than to enjoy the passing pleasure of sin, esteeming the reproach of Messiah (the Messiah) greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he looked to the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible.” Hebrews 11:24-27.

By taking a firm stand against the kingdom of darkness, ruled by the Satanic triumvirate, the witnesses and the remnant of Israel will pay a heavy price in tribulation for resisting the false messiah. But they will be richly rewarded for choosing to suffer affliction for the sake of the true Messiah.

The powerful witness and exploits of the two witnesses will have a world-wide impact during the first half of the tribulation period. It is no wonder that the anti-messiah and his followers will be furious because of their activities. When the anti-messiah usurps all power and authority in the middle of the tribulation period, he will turn his venom upon the two witnesses and fight against them and kill them. But YaHVaH Elohim will raise them from the dead after three and a half literal days and invite them to come to Him, to where they will ascend in full view of all their enemies as their mission has been successfully accomplished!

However, subsequently, the dark and stormy night of the anti-messiah’s reign of terror will then engulf the entire world and all its inhabitants for the next three and a half years and the most gruesome horrors will occur in the history of all mankind. Tragically not many will survive this hideous war, pestilences, natural disasters and judgements that will befall the wicked during the time of “the Wrath of YHVH.”

Beloved, you can escape entering the time of the Tribulation. May I suggest that you read the study “

A Closing Note:

The faithful in Yahushua the Messiah have the assurance of true Shalom (peace) in that time to come known as the Tribulation and Jacob’s Trouble, that is why we MUST ensure that we know our beloved Messiah by His real Name, which as you have by now seen is Yahushua. Remember, he asked of us again and again to ask it in HIS NAME! – These are just three examples;

“And I will do whatever you ask in My Name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. You may ask Me for anything in My Name, and I will do it.” Yochannan - John 14:13-14.

“Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.” Yochannan - John 15:16.

“In that day you will ask in My Name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. No, the Father Himself loves you because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from Elohim.” Yochannan - John 16:26-27.

Therefore, if we worship and pray in any other name, we are not worshipping our true Lord and Saviour who gave His life for you, but another, who has been inserted by Satan and the pagan church of Rome. I have already stated that the name used by 99.9% of christians really means a hail to Zeus. In Greek it is “Iesous” and this is the name of both our Lord and Saviour and Joshua of the Old Testament, but for some strange reason he received a name that somehow sounds very similar to the original, Joshua. But our beloved Messiah was given a pagan based and a foreign name, why? However, pastors will fight me on this question and also those who know the truth, and I mean believing Greek specialists who know Greek better than anyone, for all you have to do is check the meaning of any Greek place that ends with “sous” or “sus” and you soon find out what it means, but it is always Zeus!

It is time for change and a RETURN to YaHVaH Elohim (the LORD God) in the Name of our Saviour Yahushua and then go forth and share the Word unto as many others in the church, as well as unbelievers and when the opportunity arise share Messiah with Jewish folk. But it is important that you share the Word of truth to many lost in a church who are so lost within the pagan practices that have entered the body since the year 300 AD and pray that they will “Return again Unto Me, says YHVH (the LORD)” that they also will escape a time of great horror, which is only for those that are not in YaHVaH Elohim and Yahushua the Messiah.

Although as you will have learned, because of the “Two Witnesses” death and miraculous resurrection many will come to the Lord at that time and it will be the greatest revival in all history, but beloved, it will also be the hardest way and the consequences are and will be extremely severe for far so many, as countless will be put to death, just as the Romans did to the faithful believers who dared to keep the seventh day Sabbath! There are two busses. The first is the one before the Tribulation;

“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of Elohim, and the dead in Messiah will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18.

But the second bus comes at the very end of the darkest of days, when many of the new faithful both Jews and those who were Gentiles, but who are now one in the Body have been killed in the most gruesome way by the anti-messiah and his armies. But then Messiah will come with His faithful and there will be another resurrection of the Tribulation faithful and they as well as those who survived the horrors will enter the millennium!

I know which bus I will be catching – Line One please Father! I pray that I will meet you on board as well, for there is room for you all!

Shalom in Messiah  - Yahushua.

May YHVH Elohim bless and keep you in the palm of His hand always, in Messiah Yahushua’s loving Name!

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.” Yochannan (John) 6:43-48.
