Mal.3:6
"For I am YHWH, I
change not;
Therefore
you sons of Ya'akob are not consumed".
BSTHebrew Fonts are needed to see these Hebrew characters properly
Those
who believe and/or teach that everything was changed, i.e. no more Torah; no
more Shabbat keeping; no more Hebrew nation, but now the church, are in effect
calling Father/Abba YHWH a liar. This is replacement theology!
As
Shual/Paul spoke in Romiyah/Romans 3:4 "...Let YHWH be True, but every man
a liar..." Those who teach
that Abba YHWH changed everything "at the cross" are liars! Ivrim/Hebrews
13:8 "Yahushua HaMashiach the same yesterday, today, and forever."
Since
Yahushua is the Elohim who talked with the Patriarchs and the prophets; the same
Being with whom Moshe/Moses had a personal relationship, He it is whose finger
wrote The Words on the stone tablets. How can we be sure that it is YHWH in the
form of Yahushua that Moshe seen?
Carefully
consider what Yahushua says in Yochanan/John 1:18, and 5:37; this goes hand in
hand with the words of Shemoth/Exodus 33:20 "" And HE said, You can
not see MY Face: for there shall no man see ME, and live."
In
as much as HE; Yahushua is the One Who gave The Torah, and HE changes not, (Is
the same yesterday, today, and forever) how can HE possibly go back on HIS word?
The fact is; HE can't!
If
HE did, that would make HIM a liar, an utter impossibility!
So
how can we rectify the teachings of the church over the teachings of The Torah?
Again, we can't! "Let YHWH be True and every man a liar"!
In
Yochanan/ John 14:15 we read, " If you love ME, keep My Commandments."
How can it be any clearer? Yahushua; The Law Giver of Ancient Yisrael, is
telling us today, point blank, to keep HIS Torah!
Now;
bring this topic up with almost any preacher and watch them get very defensive.
Even the few who acknowledge the Commandments will deny the fourth, for they
are, after all, only part of the protesting daughters of Rome! Yet; most of the
'church' fathers will recognize in their writings that there is absolutely no
Scripture which vindicates changing the Shabbat to the day of the sun; Sunday.
(See http://www.hmisrael.net/SabbathConf1.html
for a look at these writings.)
There
is a moving of The Ruach?Spirit of YHWH going out throughout the world today.
People from many nations are coming to recognize that the church does not have
the answers, they are coming to recognize that The Word of YHWH is never
changing, and as thus, the covenants made with our Fathers are still in effect
today, just as HIS Torah is!
Daniyel/Daniel
prophecied in 12:4 that in the end times, "knowledge shall be increased". This
is not just speaking of secular knowledge, but more
importantly; it is speaking of spiritual knowledge as revealed by and through
the Ruach HaKodesh/The Set-Apart Spirit of YHWH!
We
can fully grasp this in the words of the prophet Chabakook/Habakkuk 2:14; who writing
also of these end times has this to say. "For the earth shall be
filled with the knowledge of the tifereth/beauty of YHWH, as the waters cover
the sea."
We
are witnessing this today, as many are coming into the understanding of YHWH and
HIS Word.
What
has been the catalyst for this increase in knowledge?
The
revealing, by the Ruach HaKodesh/The Set-Apart Spirit of YHWH, that there is
more to the Scriptures then the church has taught. That; "I am YHYH, I
change not..."!
Part 2
So
again we ask; what has been the catalyst for this increase in knowledge?
For
some it was the revealing of the importance of HIS Name. While the list of
Scriptures which speak of HIS Name are more numerous then
can or will be listed here, we will look at a few nonetheless.
In
Yeshayahu/Isaiah 42:8 we find a very important quote from YHWH HIMSELF. "I
am YHWH: that is MY Name..." To fully grasp the importance of this
verse we must look to the Hebrew text as preserved in Scriptures copied down
through the ages by the Scribes of Yahudah. In that verse, as originally
written, we find the Hebrew letters
hwhy, written of course from
right to left, thus in the Hebrew the Yud/y would be seen on the far right of the
tetragrammaton. As a side note here it is important that we recognize what and
where the word "lord" comes from. The word 'lord" is actually a
title, not a name. It is derived from the word 'ba'al" which means 'lord'
and was actually the name of a foreign deity. So the use in Scriptures of
"lord' in place of YHWH is not only a mistranslation of original text, but
also an affront to the One True Elohim/Mighty One.
Yeshayahu/Isaiah52:6
"Therefore Ami/MY People shall know MY Name...".
Zecharyah/Zechariah
13:9 "...They shall call on MY Name and I will hear them: I will say, it
is Ami/My People: and they shall say, YHWH is the Name of my Elohim."
Again remember that in the Hebrew text this is YHWH, not
"lord"! A name not a title or position.
Yirmeyahu/Jeremiah
10:6 "Forasmuch as there is none like You, Oh YHWH; You are Great, and Your
Name is Great in might!"
Yirmeyahu/Jeremiah
16:21 "Therefore, see, I will this time cause them to know, I will cause
them to know MY Hand, and MY Might, and they shall know that MY Name is YHWH".
Read
Ezek. 39: especially verses 7&25 and Mikah 6:9
The
Psalms are filled with references to YHWH and the Power of HIS Name. Do a word
search of "names" in e-sword, or a concordance, you'll be surprised at
how many times HIS Name is mentioned, yet in our 'modern" Scriptures HIS
Name has been successfully hidden from us.
Lets
look at a couple from Tehillim/Psalms:
72:17
"HIS Name shall endure forever: HIS Name shall be continued as long as the
sun: and men shall be blessed in HIM: all nations shall call HIM Blessed"
(Are you helping HIS Name to endure?) Read also 135:13.
74:18
"Remeber this, that the enemy has reproached, Oh YHWH, and the foolish
people have blasphemed Your Name" ( How do people blasphemy HIS Name? By
calling HIM the name of their choice i.e. Baal-lord; god; hashem etc.)
118:26
"Baruch haba beshem YHWH, (Blessed is he who come in the Name of
YHWH)..." (Whose name do you come in?)
Matt.
6:9 "...Our Abba/Father who is in heaven, Kadosh/Set-Apart is Your Name"
Yochanan/Jn.5:43"
I am come in MY Father's Name, and you receive ME not..."
Acts
2:21 States that salvation comes through calling upon HIS Name. And verse 38
tells us we must be immersed in HIS Name.
And
in Rev. 14:1 we see that the 144;000 have The Father's Name "written in
their forehead".
Throughout
the books of Scriptures we find references to The Name, but in most cases, as in
the KJV, we see The Name refered to as "the lord". Yet; look up the
word 'lord' in a dictionary and you will easily see this is a title, not a name!
And as we have seen, it is only by HIS Name that we can come to salvation. Some
of the more recently translated Scriptures do tell us HIS Name. The NIV
"study edition" is one of these. In the preface it distinctly states
that where ever you see 'lord' in caps, it is a reference to the tetragammaton,
the Yud-Hey-Waw-Hey or YHWH as it translats into English.
Another
catalyst that has sparked a devoted searching of Scriptures is the recognition
that the "holidays" of the church are not found in Scriptures in their
original texts. In fact; a study in the origins of these "holidays"
will reveal their origins in paganism. This is another issue with which the
priestcrafters will get very defensive.
A
thorough study of the first 5 books of Scriptures; (Known as the Torah), will
reveal a set of days established by YHWH as HIS Appointed times. And
interestingly, they are commanded to be kept for all generations. Where
is the church that teaches that?
For
some, the Appointed Time/Moed which is repeated every 7 days (The
Shabbat/Sabbath) was the catalyst.
These
are just a few of the more common catalysts among many that have caused people
to begin searching the Scriptures from a more Hebraic mindset. The point here is
that it takes the Ruach HaKodesh/The Set-Apart Spirit of YHWH to stir us and
reveal to us the need to search the Scriptures daily, just as did the Bereans!
Part 3
So
lets get back to the statement made in Mal. 3:6 " I am YHWH..."
This is Yahuah; The Elohim/Mighty One. Elohim of Yisrael! In both
manifestations! Both Father and Son!
So
when the verse moves on to "...I change not..." This is clearly
YHWH in both Manifestations. Unchanging, knowing the beginning and the end of
all things, Yeshayahu/Is.46:9-10.
Think
about this; if YHWH knows how all things will end, why would HE have to change
something? Yet this is exactly what the proponents of replacement theology are
implying.
