Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of Yahweh and their faith in Yeshua. (Revelation 14:12)
Messages to explain end times events and a framework for the chronology of the events to come from a first century Christianity perspective.
Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth: The Wedding Supper of the Lamb is an analogy… until it isn’t! Throughout history, Yahweh has given warnings about impending destruction. The invitation to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb is a metaphor for this warning. This years’ message on First Fruits shows the warning throughout history and why we need to accept the invitation lest we end up outside, weeping and gnashing our teeth.

Do Not Follow the Masses in Doing Evil
How this commandment is tied to the crucifixion of the Messiah, the problems in our society today, and the end of days.
Messianic Torah Portion Vayigash (and he approached)
The Torah portion is about Joseph’s revealing of himself to his brothers and bringing Israel into Egypt. The parallels between these scriptures and the New Testament are plentiful. Our discussion covers the despair of Jacob and parallels this to the grief of Yeshua’s disciples and the despair of the world as it awaits Yeshua’s return. We also discuss the joy Jacob experiences when he learns Joseph is alive and compare this to the resurrection of the Messiah. The theme established that Joseph’s brothers meant it for evil when they sold him into slavery but God meant it for good compares remarkably with the resurrection of the Messiah and the sermon given by Peter in Acts 2. We also touched on topics of end times studies and how the concept of the Noahide laws are folly.
Yom Kippur 2024: Explaining the Last Adam. The history of the Day of Atonement and its importance to the end of days.
The history of the Day of Atonement is almost as old as earth itself. This day is applicable to Christians today and incredibly important for understanding the end of days.
The Day of Trumpets, also called Yom Teruah, is an ancient Holy Day that prophecies the return of the Messiah. This knowledge has been lost since the first century.
The notes are posted below but please watch the video for much more detail and discussion.
Yom Teruah 2024
Chag Sameach everybody! Welcome to the Day of Trumpets, Yom Teruah. Lots of folks ponder prophecy and don’t realize we have been given a road map. This road map was established at creation and the lined out through the Holy Days of Leviticus 23. Most of Christianity doesn’t pay much attention to the Old Testament at all, to their peril. Once people realize the whole bible is applicable to us today and learn about the relationship of the Holy Days to prophecy, the bible makes a lot more sense. Let’s start with a scripture most people know.
Slide 2 (1Th 4:13-18)
The next step in prophecy is the return of Yeshua, the Messiah. Most believe this will happen at some random time in the future. That may very well be true, but there are big hints here for those of us who value the Torah as to what time of year He will return.
Slide 3 (Lev 23:1-2) then (Lev 23:23-25)
Leviticus 23 outlines YHVH’s appointed times. The KJV wrongly calls these feasts. Most are that, but the larger umbrella is the word moedim, or appointed times. Yom Kippur, for example, is not a feast so it does not fall into that category. It does, however, fall into the category of an appointed time. These days are Yahweh’s Outlook calendar. It’s when He expects His people to stop their lives and meet with Him. The Sabbath is weekly, the rest are annual.
When the Messiah was crucified on Passover and the Ruach, the Spirit, given on Shavuot/Pentecost, which are both appointed times, we realized that all these days have a prophetic significance.
When we look at the Day of Trumpets, we see similar language to Paul’s description of the return of the Messiah. There’s only one word for blowing here, trumpets is implied. The word for blowing is teruah, which is the real name of this Holy Day. It’s not Rosh Hashanah, it’s actually Yom Teruah. Teruah can mean “clamor, battle cry, shouting, blowing of trumpets, and general noise.” Connecting this day to the return of the Messiah is not a stretch at all. The first time the Messiah came, He came as a lamb. When He returns, it will be as a lion with legions of angels. It will be loud, visible, and overwhelming.
Slide 4 (Jos 6:1-5 NAS95)
Peter writes that a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day to God. From this, we extrapolate that this earth, this era, has 6K years to effectively run its course. In Revelation 20, it is written there will be a future 1000 year period that’s a Messianic kingdom. It begins with the return of the Messiah and we believe the Day of Trumpets to signify that. These verses allude to it pretty directly. Jericho was a pagan city that YHVH wanted destroyed. It also symbolizes Egypt, Babylon, and all of men’s works. The people of God are to follow His instructions, no matter how silly, for the 6K years so when He topples this system, we will be found faithful. There was even a family who repented late in life on the wall of Jericho. Rahab, who hid the spies, was saved when the calamity befell Jericho. She and her whole family were grafted into the family of God, and she was even in the lineage of Yeshua. The lessons here are plentiful. When the Israelites crossed the Jordan, the people of Canaan knew it was the end of them. They knew it was for war. When the Messiah comes back, same thing. Most of the world will tremble. But some will repent and be saved, even in disaster. And the work that is coming is noisy and obvious. It’s not a secret. So if someone tells you the Messiah has already returned, well, you know not to listen to them. When He comes back, every knee will bow and every tongue confess. It’s going to be big, obvious, and the change to this planet will be a permanent change. When the ultimate kingdom comes, that Messianic kingdom, nobody will be able to say “I didn’t know about it, tell me more.”
Slide 5 Mark 13 – AD 70 and then the end. False Christs. We know Isaiah spoke about two different things at once so let’s not assume that can’t happen again. The temple is destroyed then the elect are gathered. The abomination of desolation twice, AD 70 and Maccabees.
End up at Mark 13:32 – nobody knows the day or hour. Idiom about the day of Trumpets. We use a calculated calendar today. This year and last it was correct. The days of the tetrad red moons, it was correct. But even if we know it to be quite accurate, we are never completely sure. Yom Teruah is the only Holy Day that falls on the first day of the month. It begins on the first day of the 7th month. In ancient times, they had to watch and be ready for this holy day. Once it was sighted, the silver trumpets from the trumpet would be sounded at the command of the Kohen Gadol, then the sound would be repeated throughout the land. A sabbath day that springs upon us… to a degree. People can surely count to 28 from the last month and start looking. As we have been looking more and more in recent years, haven’t we?
Slide 6 I Cor 15: 1-28 The resurrection tied to Trumpets. The order of things to come. We need to comfort one another with these words. There is an order. We know it. And even thought things get bad, and then worse, we know that once He returns, it will set in motion things prophesied for ages.
20 ties first fruits to the resurrection, the day He was resurrected.
In this message/discussion, I explain the depts of deception within our society and how we arrived in the present state. This deception includes confusion within religions, of course, which was and continues to be done by Satan. The adversary wants to deceive whoever he can to draw worship for himself or, at a minimum, draw worship away from Yahweh, the one true God, and His Son, Yeshua. However, our present state of confusion goes beyond religion.
We can trace our present state of affairs to a nation that no longer exists. The USSR purposely introduced deceit and confusion through the countries they overthrew. This was done by infiltrating schools and the media in order to introduce conflicting messages and concepts into a society. I prove they did this to use with a video of a former KGB agent who defected in the 1980s. This agent outlines how the USSR would destroy societies from within through methods of deception.
Because we have lost fundamental tools of comprehending information. I briefly outline the differences between social sciences and pure sciences. How we receive, categorize, and digest information on a basic level is crucial to returning society to normal. This pertains to religion because people are coming to the knowledge of the truth but then immediately being pulled into ludicrous directions. Folks who are easily led astray often have much zeal but entertaining flawed information, by mis-categorizing good information, or by setting unreasonable expectations of proof for doctrines. Please enjoy this message through one of the video offerings and provide some feedback! Shares and like are always appreciated!
Here is the message/discussion from our Shabbat gathering earlier today. I talk about how society got to be so disjointed and has such a hard time discerning truth at any level. I include who did this to us and why and provide the recipe for coming out of this confusion. Shalom! pic.twitter.com/t6ZGvwT2DT

Is David and Goliath Really about Underdogs?
The story of David and Goliath is often used to showcase the power of underdogs. We often give deference to the powerless through a conditioning that says those with power are usually the bad guys. Is this really the case? I contend the story of David and Goliath isn’t really about the weak or powerless, though. If we pick that story apart, it’s about a larger theme that plays out in the end times.
The United States is often paralleled with Israel and sometimes these parallels are impossible to ignore. Israel has both been the underdog and the overwhelming power, so has the United States. Our nation has had a series of “come from behind” victories that no other civilization shares, which helps condition us to favor come from behind victories. After World War II, though, the USA had to stop being the underdog and become the world’s policeman.
At both ends of the bible, those with overwhelming power are actually the good guys! This message shows how underdogs are neither inherently good or bad and shows that we in the USA are conditioned to favor the weak because of our country’s history, not because of Marxism.
There is a sinister nature to favoring the underdog. The Torah tells us not to favor the poor or the rich, the weak or the powerful, in matters of judgment. We must base our judgments on individual circumstances to determine proper justice.

‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the Tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.’
(Rev 2:7)
Adam and Eve had one commandment in the Garden of Eden and that was to not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They were created immortal and given dominion over the earth with just this one rule, that they broke. After the fall, they were expelled from the Garden which separated them from the Tree of Life. This also separated all mankind from that tree which means we have been fallen, mortal beings ever since.
In the New Testament we learn about eternal life. God, who’s Name is Yahweh, has provided a mechanism for bridging the gap between mankind and eternal life through His Son, Yeshua. We know that the path to eternal life is to repent, accept Yeshua as the Messiah, be baptized, and then live a life of obedience. This lifestyle is outlined from Genesis to Revelation but is best illustrated through the life of Jesus the Christ, Yeshua the Messiah. He lived Torah perfectly and showed us how to keep the commandments, having died a sinless death for the sins of all who accept Him. He was resurrected by God and is now seated at His Right Hand. Yeshua is the Mediator between us and God and will return to judge the living and the dead.
The Tree of Life and the scripture verse that tells us plainly how to overcome is our logo. The recipe for attaining eternal life is comprised in one simple statement: Keep the Torah while believing in Yeshua. This represents the mission of this ministry. We strive to reach as many as possible with this simple message and help guide people into a walk that will lead us all to the Tree of Life.
Yeshua aka Jesus was saying things the audience already knew in Matthew 24. For instance, the abomination of desolation and the great tribulation were things that had already happened once! Click here for a deeper understanding of events to come!
