“'Up, Zion! Escape, you who

dwell with the daughter of

Babylon.' For thus says Yah-

weh of hosts: 'He sent Me

after glory, to the nations

which plunder you; for he

who touches you touches the

apple of His eye. For surely I

will shake My hand against

them, and they shall become

spoil for their servants. Then

you will know that Yahweh of

hosts has sent Me.'" Zechariah 2:7-9 NKJV

I viewed a poster which showed Eliyah speaking to King Ahab, who was

seeking to kill Eliyah, and asked, in 1 Kings 18:17, "Art thou he that trou-

bleth Israel?" On the poster, at the bottom, read, "Where are the Proph-

ets that are TROUBLING America?" I considered the message and thought

to myself, "The idea of speaking out against evil authority, would not be

complete without Eliyah's response to Ahab:

1 Kings 18:18 - And he answered, I have not troubled Israel; but thou,

and thy father's house, in that ye have forsaken the commandments of

Yahweh, and thou hast followed the Ba'als [the Lords].

We understand that Eliyah is not

condemning ISRAEL, but he is con-

demning the LEADERSHIP of Yah-

weh's chosen people. The so-called

Spiritual leaders of our nation today

are indeed troubling Israel ... NOT the

nation-state of Israel in the Middle

East, but the Whole Congregation of

the House of Israel - those who wor-

ship Yahweh according to HIS will;

according to HIS commandments

AND our respect for HIS Messiah,

Yahshua.

By worshiping on Sunday, celebrat-

ing Christmas to New Years and Palm

Sunday to Easter Sunday, they flaunt

the Word of Yahweh and His Son ... to

their own destruction. Consider that

Christmas to New Years is 8 days, and Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday is

also 8 days. These are REPLACEMENTS for the first day of the Feast of

Tabernacles to the Eighth Day and the Day of Passover to the last day of

the Feast of Unleavened Bread!

John Darby is perhaps the best-known of the Dispensationalists, who

have separated Israel from the "Church", the Law from Grace. But, there

IS NO separation between the two. There is only ONE congregation. It is

ISRAEL, with Yahshua Messiah at its HEAD.

Revelation 14:12 - Here is the patience of the saints [meaning, "This is

Troubler of Israel …,cont.

how the Saints, the Called-out Ones, the ekklesia, will endure to the end."], here are those who keep the com-

mandments of Yahweh and the faith of Yahshua.

What is the FAITH of Yahshua? The answer is, "Obedience to Yahweh". THAT is HIS Faith! This is the faith

of the House of Israel (Ephraim) and the House of Judah, who will be brought together when Messiah re-

turns; and, those who are outside of this Body, the Messiah says, will not be able to enter into the Kingdom

of Yahweh.

Matthew 7:21-23 - "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Master!' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he

who does the WILL of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, 'Master!', have we not prophe-

sied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' And then I will

declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice LAWLESSNESS!’”

To KNOW the Messiah, or anyone for that matter, is to BECOME them. This is the Heart of intimacy. This is

the LOVE that Yahweh and His Son have shown to us. It is only fitting that we should become THEM.

Matthew 5:48 - “Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.” Let us obey our

Father and follow the direction of His Son. HalleluYah!

Elder John Fisher

New Cameras

For those who are watching the videos, either through DVDs or online ar-

chives, the newest videos will have a better color, sharpness and overall visible

quality to them. This is due to having acquired some new cameras, which are ac-

tually used (though, in like-new condition). Unbelievable to us was the fact that

these Sony cameras were about $3000 each just a few years ago, but now are

about $500.

We acquired three of these to replace our older cameras, one of which was

over 25 years old. These new cameras are not HD as we could not afford those, but we are very pleased with

the improved look from the newer cameras. You'll be seeing the results as we send out the DVDs from now

on and archiving the video online. We thank Yahweh through His Son Yahshua for providing them. We thank

all of you for your continued prayers and support for this ministry as we move forward.

New Archeological Find

This undated photo released by the Israel Antiquities Authority, shows a

3.000 year old ceramic jar with inscription of a name mentioned in the Bi-

ble,“Eshbaal Ben Beda.” Israel’s antiquities authority says archaeologists have

discovered a rare 3,000-year-old inscription of a name mentioned in the Bible.

Eshbaal of the Bible was a son of King Saul. Archaeologists said Tuesday, June

16, 2015 it is the first time the name was discovered in an ancient inscription.

It is one of only four inscriptions discovered from the biblical 10th century B.C.

Kingdom of Judah, when King David is said to have reigned. (Tal Rogovski/Israel Antiquities Authority via AP)

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel's antiquities authority says archaeologists have discovered a rare 3,000-year-old

inscription of a name mentioned in the Bible. The name "Eshbaal Ben Beda" appears on a large ceramic jar.

Eshbaal of the Bible was a son of King Saul. Archaeologists Yosef Garfinkel and Saar Ganor say the jar be-

longed to a different Eshbaal, likely the owner of an agricultural estate. They said Tuesday it is the first time

the name was discovered in an ancient inscription. It is one of only four inscriptions discovered from the bib-

lical 10th century B.C. Kingdom of Judah, when King David is said to have reigned. Archaeologists pieced to-

gether the inscription from pottery shards found at a 2012 excavation in the Valley of Elah in central Israel.

Pre-existence of Yahshua Question

Q: I had a concern about the preexistence of Yahshua. I have recently left the "trinity" doctrine and have set-

tled into this "Hebrew roots" movement. I read all the arguments against the trinity doctrine and I do

agree. The problem lies with the nature of Yahshua. I have not found where the Son was known in the Old

Testament, and the fact that the Jews never believed He preexisted seems to confirm my thoughts. Where

does it speak of the Son in the Old Testament? Also, if we are to say that the Father created the Son before

the world and the Son helped in creation, would that not be paganism? Could you help me understand this

please? Thank you.

A: Thanks for contacting us and for the questions. I believe it is better to describe Yahshua as having been

begotten of the Father, rather than created. Some Jews do refer to what they call the Metatron as the

smaller or lesser Yahweh. In essence, they are believing in Two Yahwehs. We see the Scripture showing the

Messenger of Yahweh (Ex. 23:20-22), as the pre-existent Son. There are allusions to Yahshua in the Psalms

pointing to the idea that Yahweh has a Son. One of which is found in Psalm 2:7-9,12 (NASB), which says, “I

will surely tell of the decree of Yahweh: He said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. Ask of

Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Your possession.

You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware.' Do homage to the Son, that

He not become angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who

take refuge in Him!" See also Psalm 30:4.

The evidence we see for the pre-

existence of the Son as a Mediator be-

tween Yahweh and mankind is over-

whelming. He spoke as Yahweh for Yah-

weh and was even called Yahweh (Gen.

19:24; Zech. 3:1-2) besides all the various

Titles (e.g., Elohim, Messenger of Yah-

weh, The Rock, etc.). He became as a

man, in appearance, when wrestling

Jacob (Gen. 32:24) and after that ap-

peared to Joshua (Josh. 5:13-15). It is

clear to Whom these men were speaking

with. Not just a mere man, but the Son of

Yahweh.

It's interesting that paganism has sto-

ries of a world flood and the Canaanites had a deity named El, but all it proves to me is that the nations like

to borrow what had already existed or had been told before. I believe and have faith that the Scripture is ac-

curate and inspired of Yahweh. I'm glad that you're seeing the fallacy of the Trinity. John 17 is certainly a hard

chapter to try and reconcile the Trinitarian concept with.

Racist Question

Q: How can I love someone who shows racism toward me? Why is there

so much hatred in the world.

A: Racism, and all the other "isms" (like nationalism, religionism, gender-

ism, etc., are based in FEAR. The solution to racism (etc.)) is RELATION-

SHIP. Those who are willing to risk being REJECTED by someone they are

afraid of (or, someone who is afraid of THEM) ... AND are ACCEPTED by

those they feel threatened by ... will overcome whatever "ism" they have

come to believe. This is the Heart of "loving thy neighbor" (Leviticus

19:18); as taught by Yahshua Messiah in the parable of the Good Samari-

tan (Luke 10:21-37). Who is my neighbor? The one you hate! ... or the

one who hates you; even, your enemy (Matthew 5:43-48).

Why is there so much hatred in the

world? Because people are afraid. Period.

Often, it isn't the "enemy" a person is

afraid of ... it is the culture around them

that would ridicule and reject them for as-

sociating with the "enemy." Even Peter, in

Mark 14:69-72, was so AFRAID of being

beaten and captured, as Yahshua had just

been, that he angrily CURSED and denied

even knowing the Messiah! He wept in

shame to have done this. How many of us have regretted something we

said in anger! Developing loving, respectful relationships is THE answer.

The question is, "Do you know how to love your enemy?" Perhaps you

may derive some benefit by viewing one of our "Revealing The Truth" TV

episodes called "Sacrificial Love," found here:

Prayer List

Did you know?

In John 12:50 NASB it says, “I

know that His commandment is

eternal life; therefore the things I

speak, I speak just as the Father

has told Me.”

In the Greek Interlinear the

word commandment is singular,

but in the Aramaic it is a plural

word. The passage would then

read, “I know that His command-

ments are eternal life; therefore

the things I speak, I speak just as

the Father has told Me.”

The passage now reads as the

rest of the Bible teaches. That is,

we are to obey Yahweh’s com-

mandments (plural). Ps. 119:160.
