Testimony

YaHshua is the Messiah, the one and only true Savior revealed to us by the Holy Bible through inspiration and direction of His Holy Spirit. The Holy Bible is the Book the Christians and the Jews recognize as the written words of our Creator -- the Book is a Testimony of itself in the nature and the identity of our Savior, but it, like us, is bond to this World and is subject to the sinful nature of men.  The Book, while vulnerable to the ways of men and the influence of Satan is a miracle in the fact the message has never been lost and while attempts at hiding the true Birth-Name of our Savior have gone to the extreme the Name has survive and is revealed to those seeking the truth and those called by the Father.

I testify there is no other Name found among men (an Earthly Name) by which we must be saved and that Name belongs to our Savior, Yahshua, identifying Him and only Him as our Savior (Acts 4:12, Romans 10:13).  When these words were spoken, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the false name "Jesus" did not exist.  His Birth-Name is YaHshua, and remains to this day to be YaHshua, seen the King James Bible as Joshua (Yoshua). 

 I recognized and testify that YaHshua is the Creator of all things by permission of Our Heavenly Father, in whose Name our Savior came (Jn 5:43, Jn 17:11).  By Permission and order of our Heavenly Father YaHshua willingly became flesh and blood in order to defeat the author of death, Satan(Heb 2:14, 1 John 3:8)

 I see Satan and his angelic followers as having lost their place in Heaven (Luke 10:18, Rev 12:9) being bound to this Earth, busy deceiving the whole world - this is one of the primary reasons mankind will never be able to put an end to war on this planet -- in our weakness we listen to him.  The Saints then and now are busy resisting him and overcoming him by the blood of the Messiah, and, as history demonstrates, sometimes the shedding of their own blood as well -- not by their own hand but at the hand of those thinking they are doing God's work (John 6:29; Matthew 24:9).  Some of our brothers and sisters have given up their fleshly lives - willingly - in order to maintain their fellowship with the Messiah and to remain children of the Most High - they loved not their lives (of the flesh) unto death (Revelations 12:11).   The ultimate victory is by and through the blood of the Messiah.  It is by His sacrifice for us that has made it possible for us to follow Him into eternal life (Hebrews 5:8).  It is by Him and only Him through whom we must come in order to enter the Kingdom (Government) of God (YH).  Even King David and all the Kings of Israel will bow before YaHshua the King of Kings, in the "resurrection", in acceptance of the blood of YaHshua, in acceptance of YaHshua (Philippians 2:10).  Many of the first (those that knew YHWH but not YaHshua) will be "last" and many of the "last" will be "first" in the Kingdom to come.  Come YaHshua, come, we pray.

No Other Way By Which We Must Be Saved

 There is no other way, no other system, no other religion, no other god, no other path, this is the only way and there is no other.  All must come to the Messiah, accepting His sacrifice for us and He is willing to grant forgiveness of our sins and without merit on our part - to pardon us from the death penalty (Hebrews 2:9) - giving us life eternal free of charge.  In our new state we will all eventually see true peace and love on Earth and in the whole of the universe. Even Israel is counted among the disobedient, as the Gentiles were and it through the mercy shown to the Gentiles that make it possible for Israel to received the self-same mercy (Romans 11:28-32). 

By faith we believe this, we believe His words and the words of our Father by and through His messengers (scripture, the written word, the Holy Bible).  His message is finished and complete (Revelation 22:18-20).  We have been given all we need to know – YaHshua, proclaimed as the only way to salvation -- the Father has given everything to Him even our lives.  He, the Messiah, refuses no one the Father gives Him (John 6:39).  Our Father “calls” some and answers the call (prayer) of others, always ready to accept the repentant heart into the body of the Messiah.  Yahshua's mission was to clear Satan out of the way for the sons and daughters of the Living God -- to put an end to death and that Angel of Death, Satan (1 John 3:8; Hebrews 2:14 - read it, believe it).

Our Spirit bears witness with His Spirit (Romans 8:16) - the truth of salvation and that truth can only be found in, and through, and by the Messiah, YaHshua, Son of the Living God.  YaHshua, the one that came in the flesh, lived as we live, tested as we are tested, succeeding where we have failed being raised from the dead giving us the hope of salvation and a future with the Sustainer of all things, our Father in Heaven.  By showing mercy to the Gentiles it is demonstrated that mercy will also be shown, granted to all of Israel.  Once Israel was the source of salvation making access to the Creator but in their failure God hardened their hearts so that a new way could be introduced.  Even though the Gentile nations did not seek Him he called them and His mercy spread over them and by this very act it is now possible for all of Israel to see the possibility of salvation, not through Moses, nor the Law of Moses, not the Temple, but through Yahshua as demonstrated by the acceptance of the Gentiles (Romans 11:28-32).

Only one door, one path, one way that leads to the Kingdom of the Living God – not many but one, and that one is YaHshua.  All other beliefs and teachings are as nothing in this understanding.  All other efforts are useless in this truth.  This is the “testimony of His followers”, He lives and we live in Him. We, as believers, looking forward to the putting off of these bodies of decay and death and taking on our new, eternal bodies of the Spirit.

Anyone that denies YaHshua has come in the flesh and is the Son of God is of the spirit of the “antichrist” (1 John 4:3).  He came in the "flesh", sharing in our humanity (Hebrews 2:14). Your bible most likely says “Jesus” but this is not His name, this is not the name of our Messiah and if you recognize this one truth you will plainly see that the pagan Christians are declaring a false messiah under the spirit of the “antichrist”.  By correcting the bogus name “Jesus” in your bible you will begin to see a truth, hidden from sincere hearts, by the one that gives the spirit of the antichrists (plural) power – Satan. 

 “Who is the liar?  It is the man who denies that YaHshua is the Christ (Messiah).  Such a man is the antichrist – he denies the Father and the Son.  No one who denies the Son has the Father, whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.” (1 John 2:22-23)NIV

Oh, Names Don't Matter?

Names do matter, especially Names that belong to our SAVIOR and our Heavenly Father (Acts 4:12, Revelation 3:5; 3:12; 3:8; 2:13; 2:17).  It is no strange thing that the religious communities of this Earth do not know the true Sustainer of all things (Hebrews 2:10).  It is not a hidden thing as much as it is ignored, refused, trampled on -- knowledge that can only come from the Messiah and is heard by those called to be children of the coming New Jerusalem (Galatians 4:26).  How can this ignorance be explained in any other way?  When this truth is realized it is difficult to see how you missed it, it is difficult to see how so many others do not see it.  Be aware, however, a time is coming when this knowledge will be accept in a grand fashion and this will lead the prophetic words of our Messiah being fulfilled right before our eyes. 

John 17:25  O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. 26  And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them. (also read Hebrews 2:12)

John 5:21  For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
22  For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23  That all men should Honor the Son, even as they Honor the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 24  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. 

John 6:44  No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.  45  It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God (that is the Father). Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.  46  Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.  47  Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

John 6:39  And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40  And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Matthew 24:4 Yahshua answered:  "Watch out that no one deceives you.  For many will come in my name, claiming I am the Christ and will deceive many."  A time is coming, and now is, when His true identity will become common knowledge and be used by unscrupulous preachers and these Yahshua will turn away.  So, take care, just having this knowledge, while a blessing and a key to opening scripture, it can be misused by evil people.  I see these people referred to in Revelation 3:9, "I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.  I will make those who are of the synagogue (church) of Satan, who claim to be Jews (Israel) though they are not but are liars" -- Can you see it, those that seem to have the name, just as the faithful of Yahshua that have His word, claiming to be Israel, or attempting to restore the Jewish way.  Notice, it is a "claim" not a truth.  We see a lot of this today from the Sacred Names Movement.  Self proclaimed prophets with the knowledge of our Savior's true identity (seldom do they know who, or can identify the Father -- they mis-identify Him) leading their followers off into an attempted restoration of the Old Covenant and by this denying the sacrifice of our Lord YaHshua. 

The Testimony concerning the Messiah is coupled with Prophecy --

    Revelation 19:10  And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of YaHshua: worship God: for the testimony of YaHshua is the spirit of prophecy.

    Notice what the verse above is saying -- "the testimony of YaHshua is the spirit of prophecy" -- the spirit of prophecy is actually founded and formed on the Holy Bible as the base-- the scriptures.  This book, the written words of the Messiah and of the Father has been given to mankind as a manual of uncovering and instruction.  The Messiah said His words are spirit (John 6:63).  It is not just a book on how we should conduct ourselves but a book of "inspired" words, inspired thoughts of the past and the "future" -- a revealing book.  You can do a little research to easily prove that many of the past events, recorded in scripture, happened exactly as written.  Much of these historical writings were once set in the future and have become a matter of past record.   The events foretold, many as warnings, came to pass happening just as written.  After the events unfolded they became history as opposed to a prophetic statement.  Much remains to happen.  Prophecy is a teaching method used by our Creator to demonstrate His ability, not for His benefit but for ours.  Prophecy is to teach, to encourage and to be knowledgeable in the word enough so that when the event, or events, occur we are able to give testimony to its accuracy and by this witness prove the authority of the Word having come form the Father and the Son. 

    We are now in a time when the pages of the Holy writings is available to everyone.  Past records prove the validity and trustworthiness of the book.  Critics may howl and scoff but to what purpose?  Every day, every year, new things are uncovered proving the accuracy of the Holy Book.  Things of the past are interesting and it is captivating to see writings written before hand of things past but it is the things to come that we should really be looking for.  Much of the written word has yet to occur, even things from the Old Testament has much to say about the future to come, events to come. Coming events (prophetic events) should concern us all and as faithful "witnesses" we should, one day, be able to testify to its (the Words) truth -- having witnessed it.  The word prophecy has been abused and misused by pagan Christians.  The word "prophecy" has a different meaning for many of the Christian Churches of today. Blabbering nonsense at crowded gatherings, claiming the prophetic tongue, while others claim visions and dreams given by the power of the Holy Spirit.  These claims, these actions border on blaspheme -- Bible prophecy is a spiritual thing that is in the words themselves.  Remember, the "testimony" of the Messiah is the "spirit" of prophecy.  This is found explained by the Messiah himself to his disciples.

    John 6:63  It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 

    Yes, the "words" he spoke are "spirit" and we have them in writing. He never said that the words you speak are spirit. We have a copy of the spoken words, the words of spirit and copy of those words written down in the form of the Holy Bible. When you read them you hear them and they "testify" to the Messiah and it is all about "prophecy".  The whole book of words declares the "testimony" of YaHshau as Messiah and of His coming again.  All Prophecy sits on this coming, this future event --the coming of our Messiah -- YaHshua, is at the heart of it all -- from the Old Testament through the New Testament.  When we read the words we hear the words and in this the words are literally transformed into spirit -- with spiritual meaning -- what more do you need?  It is by these words, delivered to the prophets of old and to the disciples and scribes that penned them that we are pointed toward the one that promise us salvation and life eternal.

    Acts 4:12  Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.  (Notice, it is to be a NAME found among men, not some angelic or secret name but a name other men would be using.  As it turns out, the name YaHshua, was a fairly popular name among the Hebrews, and among the English speaking peoples, Joshua (Yoshua).  Remember, Joshua, of the Old testament marched Israel into the promised land, the Kingdom of God, or what should have been.  Due to the failure of Israel in this role due to their rejection of YHWH as their King, choosing human leadership instead.  We see Joshua (YaHshua) a type of Messiah delivering His people into the Kingdom of God -- thus, the name had been very popular among the Hebrews.  Along side Moses, Joshua is much favored.

   There is no other -- only by and through the Messiah can we connect with "The God" -- and that would be "The Father" -- the one none can know until, or unless, the Messiah, YaHshua, makes Him known.  You cannot have one without the other and you cannot come to the Messiah unless the Father call you -- They are inseparable.

   John 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world (His disciples just prior to His crucifixion), and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

   John 6:44  No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day. NIV

   Now that is quite a "prophecy" and its meaning is truly spiritual -- remember, it is the spirit that quickens (verse 63), and His words are spirit.  It is this "quickening" by the spirit of the Messiah that leads to eternal life:

   1 Peter 3:18  For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

    Colossians 2:13  And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;

    1 Corinthians 15:52  In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54  So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
