Paleo Times February 2001 NewsletterGreetings Brethren, Even before this century started we have seen signs of trouble and turmoil. One of the most troubling signs has been the increase in violence among children and in the workplace. The idea of children packing weapons such as guns and bombs to school threatens one of our greatest gifts from Yahweh, our children. During the 70s and 80s we saw the increase in urban violence. This violence has now spread and become almost a game to those who have no sense of the value of life. The main problem that has caused our society to reach this end is its lust for money. 1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. The number of single income families is way down from what it was at one time. Who is raising our children? The problem is that when parents aren't involved the children end up getting involved with the wrong things. Look at the 40s and 50s when both parents were working to support the war effort. The time that followed was of rebellion just as we see today except maybe not so violent. The violence was with fists instead of guns. This is also connected to the workplace violence that we are seeing today. People feel that they should have more and work longer and harder to get what they covet. The frustration reaches a head when they are fired or their stocks hit bottom. There is no love of Yahweh and Yahshua the Messiah to put it into perspective. Yahshua's return is the only thing that is going to set this world straight. We may not have every opportunity to be with our children day and night but they need us. Our children need us more than we need material items. Yahweh will provide what we need to live. "Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if Yahweh so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles (Nations) seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of Yahweh, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." (Matthew 6:25-34) It is important that we show our love to our children. Let them know that Yahweh and Yahshua love them. It is more beautiful than any riches to hear children praise Yahweh. Praise Yahweh for His Mercy Endureth forever.

This Too Will Pass Away If I can endure for this minute, Whatever is happening to me, No matter how heavy my heart is Or how "dark" the moment might be --- If I can remain calm and quiet With all my world crashing about me, Secure in the knowledge that YHWH loves me, When everyone else seems to doubt me --- If I can but keep on believing What I know in my heart to be true, That "darkness" will fade with the "morning", And that this will pass away too, - Then nothing in life can defeat me, For as long as this knowledge remains, I can suffer whatever is happening For I know that YHWH will break "all the chains", That are binding me tight in "the darkness", And trying to fill me with fear --- For there is no night without dawning And I know that "my morning" is near. Submitted by Amanda Holliday How To Find JOY J ust O bey Y ahweh Composed by: CLARIBEL G. GARCIA Importance of Praise One of the natural traits of a truly righteous person is to give praise toward the Creator. The Psalmist said: "Rejoice in Yahweh, O ye righteous; for praise is comely for the upright." (Psalm 33:1). This word "comely" in Hebrew means, "suitable, beautiful and becometh." Offering praise unto YAHWEH should be a large part of the daily experience of the righteous. The definition of the word "Praise" means: "to set a price on, to commend the worth of; to express approval or admiration of, to laud the glory of, to extol." Righteous praise is the response to our Creator for what He has done. In the Hebrew language according to the James Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, there are several different words that were translated into the one English word "praise." They all express the same idea, but with a slighty different thought according to the context. The title of Psalm 145 (Strong's #8416) denotes laudation as by song. The word praise as used in Psalm 14:2 concerning Yahweh's name means to celebrate and boast (#1984) because of the many victories that have been won in His Name. In Psalm 145:4 the word praise in connection with Yahweh's works means "to commend" (#7623). The writer says that one generation shall praise Yahweh works and declare His mighty acts to the next generation. Many times in Israel's history the people were admonished to tell their children of Yahweh's wondrous works in delivering them from Egyptian bondage and of their supernatural preservation in the wilderness. This custom of transmitting faith to each succeeding generation is one that Yahweh said was resident within the genes of Abraham (Gen. 18:19). Are we the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob? Then it is our part of our Heritage to transmit our faith to our children and their children's children. In the book of Hebrews the writer is quoting the Psalmist David (22:22) in reference to the Messiah as saying, "In the midst of the congregation will I sing praise unto Thee. (2:12). If praise was so important to the Children of Israel and their children's children, and our Blessed Savior thought it important, than we should take a closer look at the importance of daily lifting up Praise to our Heavenly Father by engaging in the act of reverence and devotion by acknowleding the honor, dignity, greatness of character, and the high rank of Yahweh who desires and deserves the praise and worship of His Covenant Family. Let every thing that hath breath praise the name of Yahweh Almighty. Compliment of Outreach Ministries Psalm 118 O give thanks unto Yahweh; for he is good: because his mercy endureth for ever. Let Israel now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever. Let them now that fear Yahweh say, that his mercy endureth for ever. I called upon Yahweh in distress: Yahweh answered me, and set me in a large place. Yahweh is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? Yahweh taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. It is better to trust in Yahweh than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in Yahweh than to put confidence in princes. All nations compassed me about: but in the name of Yahweh will I destroy them. They compassed me about; yea, they compassed me about: but in the name of Yahweh I will destroy them. They compassed me about like bees; they are quenched as the fire of thorns: for in the name of Yahweh I will destroy them. Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but Yahweh helped me. Yahweh is my strength and song, and is become my salvation. The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tabernacles of the righteous: the right hand of Yahweh doeth valiantly. The right hand of Yahweh is exalted: the right hand of Yahweh doeth valiantly. I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Yahweh. Yahweh hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death. Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise Yahweh: This gate of Yahweh, into which the righteous shall enter. I will praise thee: for thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation. The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner. This is Yahweh's doing; it is marvellous in our eyes. This is the day which Yahweh hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it. Save now, I beseech thee, O Yahweh: O Yahweh, I beseech thee, send now prosperity. Blessed be he that cometh in the name of Yahweh: we have blessed you out of the house of Yahweh. Elohim is Yahweh, which hath shewed us light: bind the sacrifice with cords, even unto the horns of the altar. Thou art my Elohim, and I will praise thee: thou art my Elohim, I will exalt thee. O give thanks unto Yahweh; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Featured Article False Names Produce False Evangels The person Christian leaders teach is not a false Messiah, but the name that they have chosen for him is a false name, which does not represent the Messiah in any form or fashion. Christian leaders have altered the saving name of the Messiah, to that which comes from their sinful minds, and their own understanding. This is a direct violation of the following scripture. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12 No Other Name If you do a word study on the above scripture you will come up with the following meaning of Acts 4:12. "Never is there salvation in any else: for there is not even an ALTERED name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (Acts 4:12) Not only has the name of the Messiah been altered, but the name of the Father has been altered as well. This is also a direct violation of another scripture. You shall not misuse the name of YAHWEH your Elohim, for YAHWEH, will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name. (Ex 20:7) If you do a word study on the above scripture you will come up with the following meaning of Ex 20:7. Accept not the name of YAHWEH thy Elohim falsely for YAHWEH will not hold him guiltless that accept his name falsely. (Ex 20:7) When one tampers and alters a powerful and saving name such as our Creator, the consequences of such an act can be deadly, and it will leave the altered name useless and void. It will also render the altered names to be and represent falsehood, wherever they are used or applied to. Christian leaders have produced false names for the Creator and for the Messiah. Such actions of falsehood will have no choice, but to breed other falsehoods. The doctrines and beliefs of today's Christian leaders, are put into the name "Jesus" and "the Lord God", then there are applied to the person of the Hebrew Messiah, which Christianity has named, with the counterfeit English name "Jesus". These doctrines and beliefs that are applied to the name "Jesus" by Christian leaders, are far, far different than what the scriptures teach. The beliefs and doctrines of these Christian leaders, who teach and preach the names Jesus, and the Lord God, are not in any way associated or have anything to do with, the most important and crucial doctrines in the scriptures. Therefore the names Jesus and the Lord God, do not directly apply to the person of the true Messiah. Why you will ask? Because the doctrines and beliefs that come through and are put into those names, do not apply to the most important, and crucial beliefs and doctrines found in the scriptures. Therefore again, the names Jesus and the Lord God represent and identify the counterfeit religion and the counterfeit evangel complete with alternative names. Surly after knowing about the deception power of Lucifer and what he can do, you would not think that Lucifer has not counterfeited the true evangel, after 1800 years or so. Would you? There is a Difference I believe the only thing, we have in common with the teachings of Christian leaders of today, is that we both know and believe of a Messiah, who was born in Israel. However the most important, and crucial beliefs and doctrines of the early Assembly, were identified, associated and applied to and with the Messiah's real name. This was done by the acts of those believing, living and teaching the words of the Apostles, which was given by Yahshua. All of these teachings can be found in the scriptures, however Christian leaders of today (led by haSatan, ignorantly) have taken the basic message, of the death and burial and resurrection of an Israeli Messiah and have applied their own carnal doctrines and beliefs to the message of a Hebrew Savior. This has produced a counterfeit evangel, full of pagan traditions and beliefs and doctrines, that cannot be found in the scriptures and this counterfeit evangel is identified with the names Jesus, and the Lord God. I am sure if the Apostles were here today and they heard you teach and preach an English named, Greek titled, Israeli Messiah, they would say: "Who are you preaching about" and "what evangel is this". You would then have the same problem with them, and to think, you could teach them. Yet they would have a bigger problem with doctrine of Christian leaders. The following scriptures prove the point, that holding fast to his name was a very important issue. The following scriptures also prove that haSatan had already begun his work, but they held fast to the Messiah name anyway. Yes they held fast to the name, that came from above and we all should too, don't you think? "I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name." (Rev 3:8) "I know where you live-where Satan has his throne. Yet you remain true to my name. You did not renounce your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my faithful witness, who was put to death in your city-where Satan lives." (Rev 2:13) When it's all over with there will be books in the kingdom, which will teach about the time period of when the evangel was preached to its end. I am sure that the title of the counterfeit religion will be named "Christianity" and the names (they chose) that were associated with this counterfeit evangel and religion, will be "Jesus Christ" and the Lord God. Yes, I understand that this is a bold statement, but the facts in the great errors of the beliefs and doctrines of Christian leaders and the names Jesus Christ and Lord God, are exposed. Has not Lucifer deceived the whole world according to scripture? Doesn't the scripture also teach, that only a few be there that find life? Just as Yahshua was busy about doing the Fathers business, the enemy has been about his deceiving business for the past 1800 years or so. The True Faith Yahshua came to bring salvation to his people during a time period of when the religious leaders of that day, had taken the true religion of Judaism and altered, changed, and perverted it with the doctrines, traditions and commandments of men. Not only did the religious leaders of that day pervert the true religion of that day, but they also laid aside and rejected the commandments of YAHWEH. So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Yahshua, "Why don't your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with `unclean' hands?" He replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: "These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men. You have let go of the commands of Elohim and are holding on to the traditions of men. And he said to them: You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of Elohim in order to observe your own traditions!" (Mark 7:5-9) Well you know what? YAHWEH allowed his true religion of that day, to be perverted by the religious leaders of that day. The very same thing has happed to the evangel. Christian leaders have altered, changed, and perverted the true message of the evangel, with the doctrines, traditions and commandments of men. Not only did the religious leaders of today, pervert the true message of the evangel, but these Christian leaders also have laid aside, rejected, and teach against the commandments of YAHWEH. Another generation of Pharisees are BACK with a newer title, they are called "Christian Pharisees" and OH YES! We were warned against them. "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to gehenna? Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town."(Matt 23:33-34) "The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron." (1 Tim 4:1-2) "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." (2 Tim 4:3-4) "But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Masicah who bought them-bringing swift destruction on themselves. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping." (2 Peter 2:1-3) "Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from Elohim, because many false prophets have gone out into the world." (1 John 4:1) "The great dragon was hurled down-that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him." (Rev 12:9) The Great Voice of Truth The day is coming that the true evangel is going to have a great voice, which is going to teach against the altered perverted religion of Christian leaders, who have refuse to repent from their own religious commandments and traditions. It will be much like the religious leaders of that day. "You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to gehenna? Therefore I am sending you prophets and wise men and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town." (Matt 23:33-34) "But when he (John) saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not think you can say to yourselves, We have Abraham as our father. I tell you that out of these stones Elohim can raise up children for Abraham." (Matt 3:7-9) "All this I have told you so that you will not go astray. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to Elohim." (John 16:1-2) Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not confess their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue; for they loved praise from men more than praise from Elohim. (John 12:42-43) "Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold," (Matt 24:9-12) One of the things religious leaders of that day and today hate is to be questioned and corrected in their beliefs. It does not matter if it was Yahshua doing the questioning and correction. This even proves that any Christian leader who is steeped in their own traditions, would not even be able to hear the true words of YAHWEH even though they are confronted, with the manifestation of YAHWEH in person, and face to face. "To this they replied, You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us! And they threw him out." (John 9:34) Just try to openly oppose the false teachings of your Pastor and do it face to face, and see what happens. I know from experiences, what happens, and no I am not talking about disrupting a service. You will soon be disfellowshipped in front of 250 people or more, in a Sunday morning worship service. Furthermore you will not be allowed to go to other like fellowships, because you have openly questioned and opposed the doctrines of the leaders in that fellowship. There are many who refuse to take a stand on truth, because they are afraid of the Christian leaders. "But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the Jews." ( John 7:13) Yes, even leaders will fear their own kind, because they like the praise more than the praise of Elohim. "Yet at the same time many even among the leaders believed in him. But because of the Pharisees they would not confess their faith for fear they would be put out of the synagogue; for they loved praise from men more than praise from Elohim." (John 12:42-43) Christian leaders do not want you to teach or believe anything different than what has been traditionally taught and accepted by them. "Having brought the apostles, they made them appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name, he said. Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood." (Acts 5:27-28) Teach in the Name of Messiah Note in the scripture above, the leaders have already commanded the Apostles not to teach the name of the Messiah anymore. The leaders of that day, made it a penalty of death, for anyone to use, say or speak the Father's name in anyway. This can be found in the Talmud. The Jews have also been taught by their religious leaders, not to use or speak the short poetic form of the Father's name of "YAH" in front of a name. This is one of the very reasons why the leaders of that day, did not want people to use, call on, or teach the name YAHshua. The name that was given to the Messiah, was of and from the name of the Father "YAHWEH". In other words the name that was given for salvation is a family name which contains the Fathers name. The phonetic spelling of the name Yahshua carries forth the short poetic form of the Fathers name when it is pronounced. However the phonetic spelling of Jesus or Iesous, does not carry forth the short poetic form of the Fathers name when it is pronounced. Therefore the teachings of the Christian leaders on the issue of the name, teaches that Iesous and Jesus are a transliteration of the Messiah's true name. This is an out right lie which is used to cover a mistake that they are not willing to correct or admit. The transliterations of Iesous and Jesus do not sound alike, nor do those names sound anything like the name "Yahshua". There is not even a "J" sound in Hebrew, nor was there a "J" sound in English, until about four hundred years ago. So how can the name "Jesus" which has a "J" sound, be a transliteration of the given Hebrew name of "Yahshua", when there is not even a "J" sound in the Hebrew language? The traditions of the issue of the name of YAHWEH, which came from the religious Pharisees and Sadducees, have been passed down and adopted by Christian leaders. This is why the name of the Father has been totally replace with "the LORD" and why the name "Jesus" does not contain the Fathers name. The name Yahshua has the meaning of salvation with the Father's name. Yet Christian leaders want to teach the name "Jesus" which is void of the Fathers name. According to scripture there would be a time like never before, when YAHWEH would give his name, for use in salvation when called on. "And everyone who calls on the name YAHWEH will be saved; for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be deliverance, as YAHWEH has said, among the survivors whom YAHWEH calls." (Joel 2:32) (YAHWEH was the name originally written) According the scripture above, it did not matter what language the people would speak, when they were to call on the name YAHWEH for salvation. Yet the Jewish Pharisees made it against their own laws, to speak the name of YAHWEH, and the Christian Pharisees have totally replaced the Father's name with the plain old title "the LORD". They have also made sure that the short poetic form of "YAH" is not called on or used, when the name Jesus is spoken. Seems to be that Lucifer knows scripture too! You do know what his job is don't you? Yes, it is to keep you from the prophetic saving name of the Father and Son, therefore keeping you from the true evangel. Obey Yahweh Please note in the first words of Peter's reply, to the commands of not teaching the given name anymore: "Peter and the other apostles replied: We must obey Elohim rather than men! The Elohim of our fathers raised Yahshua from the dead-whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. Elohim exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel. We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Set-Apart Spirit, whom Elohim has given to those who obey him." (Acts 5:29-32) When religious leaders who are in error, and refuse the true words of YAHWEH, are confronted with truth, and are corrected in their beliefs, they become outraged and this is what can happen. "When they heard this, they were furious and wanted to put them to death." (Acts 5:33) "At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him, dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, Master Yahshua, receive my spirit. Then he fell on his knees and cried out, Master, do not hold this sin against them. When he had said this, he fell asleep." (Acts 7:57-60) This has also happened among the Christian leaders who were opposed for their false teachings. Just think about the RCC and the Roman Crusades. How many people do you think, have been put to death by Christian leaders, who represented the names Iesous, Jesus, and the LORD GOD? Please take a stand against these Christian Pharisees and Scribes (Translators) who have rejected and teach against the true names and the laws of YAHWEH. For they have been used as tools of haSatan for the use in a counterfeit evangel. These Christian Pharisees reject the Feasts of YAHWEH, (Lev:23:1) and erroneously teach that they are Jewish feasts. These Christian Leaders would rather teach and keep the pagan holidays, that are steeped full of pagan practices, and customs than keep YAHWEH's feast days. Some of these pagan holidays are associated with and to be that, which comes from the beliefs, in the names Jesus, and the LORD GOD, which further proves that the beliefs in Christianity are not scriptural, and the beliefs of a counterfeit, perverted religion. I know many Christians who are more repulsed, by the idea of non-believer in Christmas and Easter, than someone who does not even believe in their Jesus. These same Christians become more repulsed, when you show them that their beliefs in their religious holidays, are not scriptural and steeped full of pagan practices. However the Christian Pharisees will continue with their Christmas and Easter ham instead of the lamb and they will continue to teach the same. The Christian Pharisees should question Yahshua, on many of their own commandments and traditions too! "Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Yahshua from Jerusalem and asked, Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don't wash their hands before they eat! Yahshua replied, And why do you break the command of Elohim for the sake of your tradition? For Elohim said, Honor your father and mother and Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death. But you say that if a man says to his father or mother, Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is a gift devoted to Elohim, he is not to honor his father with it. Thus you nullify the word of Elohim for the sake of your tradition. You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you: These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are but rules taught by men." (Matt 15:1-9) "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of heaven in men's faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to. Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of gehenna as you are." (Matt 23:13-15) The above scriptures apply to all religious leaders, who reject and teach against the laws of YAHWEH for their own commandments and traditions. It also applies to all Christian leaders who travel over land and sea to win converts, without teaching the truth of salvation, which is found in the examples of the Apostles doctrine. They will however continue to teach them the "Just believe and Confess" commission, and then teach them how to remain in, and continue the same counterfeit religion, which is deeply rooted in paganism, complete with the use of counterfeit names that apply to their own religion. The title of "Christian Pharisees" is very appropriate, don't you think? May YAHWEH bless you with the beliefs, that pertains to the truth in Yahshua! Shalom, Darren Holliday |
