We learn the future from the Bible. Not from the moon.
As the final blood moon of 2015 approaches, there is great fervor and excitement about the “Four Blood Moons” predictions of Pastor John Hagee and Mark Biltz. By looking at the coming occurrence of four lunar eclipses that will occur in 2014 and 2015 that will coincide with Jewish Feast days. The Four Blood Moon Theory promotes the idea that these red moons have historically coincided with major events in Jewish history and thus “something will happen” during the current cycle. But is this theory Biblical? Is this something Christians should be concerned about? This article will show that in fact that this theory is a heresy not in line with Biblical prophecy and is actually encouraging practices that the Bible very strictly forbids.
Here is a trailer for Hagee’s best-selling book, ‘Four Blood Moons’:
A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth is directly in alignment between the moon and the sun, “blocking” the sun’s rays from reflecting off of the moon. However some sunlight filters through the Earth’s atmosphere and hits the moon, giving it a reddish color, hence the name “blood moon.” Hagee credits NASA for confirming that a sequence of four lunar eclipses, or a tetrad will occur in April 2014, on Passover, and then again in September 2014 during the Feast of Tabernacles, or Sukkoth. The timing is the same for 2015 — a total of four blood moons, all appearing on Jewish feast days.
“The sun and the moon and the Earth are controlled by God almighty,” Hagee said. “He is the one that is getting them in a direct alignment on a certain day at a certain time — but each time, it’s a Passover or Sukkoth. (source). Why NASA’s confirmation matters for Biblical prophetic fulfillment is unknown. But Hagee appeals to NASA to establish his credibility.
The Blood Moon Cycle – Prophetic Warning From God?
According to the Blood Moon theory, the world was warned about all these events.
According to Biltz and Hagee, when this rare occurrence of blood moons falling on Jewish feast days have happened, it has coincided with a major event in Israel’s history. Therefore, since another tetrad cycle has begun, “something big is going to change” or a major event is set to take place (and Biltz originally suggested that in 2015 Jesus would make His Second Coming but has since backed off). But is this really the case?
The blood moon cycle of 1493-1494 is where Biltz and Hagee claim that the world was being warned about the Jewish people in Spain being expelled. However, when one looks at the actual dates, the Jewish Expulsion took place in 1492– the year before the blood moon cycle even started.
Similarly, with the 1949-1950 blood moon/tetrad cycle, it occurred two years after the United Nation declared Israel a nation and one year after its official formation in 1948. So again, rather than being a “prophetic warning of something major changing!”, the blood moons came after the event. So how could it be a warning? Why would God “warn” the Jewish people about a persecution event one year after it took place? The Bible is clear that God warns of events in detail before they take place. Additionally there are other tetrad cycles that have fallen on Jewish holidays where no events of significance took place – a fact Biltz and Hagee readily admit. So on a basic examination, the Blood Moon Theory does not hold up.
Where Is This In Scripture?
Mark Biltz and John Hagee base their Bible prophecy on findings from NASA.
Hagee has pretty much based his entire premise on Joel 2:31. It is an end times prophecy that concerns the Day of The Lord – the end times outpouring of God’s wrath on the Earth in the final years before the Second Coming of The Lord Jesus Christ. It also serves at a time that God will reconcile Israel back to a believing faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Looking at the verse from Joel in context makes it clear that this pertains to the final years of this age:
Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand; A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after it, even to the years of many generations. A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them. The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run. Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.- Joel 2:1-6.
The setting is proclaimed in verse 1: this is the Day of The Lord -thus it is in the end times. For more information on this, please see our article “The Day of The Lord – The Event That Starts The End of The World”, where we go into detail though all of the Old Testament references to Day of The Lord that confirm that it is and end times period after the Rapture and before the Second Coming of Christ to Earth. It is a very specific time where God will judge the unbelieving world with a series of supernatural punishments.
Hagee’s promotion of the Four Blood Moons has been a huge marketing success.
As stated in our article, the Day of The Lord is also a time when unbelieving Israel will become reconciled to God. This is made clear as well in Joel chapter 2:
Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people. – Joel 2:15-18.
The implication here is that Israel will begin a call to repentance. They will cry out to God for forgiveness and mercy. And the response of God will be to go into action to defend Israel.
Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen: But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things. Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things. – Joel 2:19-20.
God will then conquer the enemies of Israel and bless them with an abundance of goods.
Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength. Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. – Joel 2:22-29.
God will then initiate a spiritual revival in Israel by pouring out The Holy Spirit among the newly reconciled and repentant Israeli believers. This is established by the prophecies that will be spoken among the people. At this point, the context of Joel 2 should be clear: this is an end times revival in Israel. It is a time where God is directly intervening to carry out judgment on enemies of His people and restoring a nation that did not acknowledge Him and seeks repentance. And this is where we approach the critical verse for the Blood Moon Theory:
And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD come. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call. – Joel 2:30-32.
So The Lord in His mercy provides an indicator of when this great era of Jewish revival will come to pass. “The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.” (Joel 2:31). This will be the indication that the Day of The Lord has started. Lord willing it should be clear that this sign in the heavens is not just a general indication that “something is going to happen.” Notice verse 30 says there will be signs in Heaven and Earth with “blood, fire and pillars of smoke.” Biltz and Hagee make no mention of these signs.
This passage details a very specific sequence of events culminating with the defense of Israel by God and their return to believing faith. This is emphasized as the final verse of the chapter stresses that whosoever calls on God’s name will be “delivered.” It is a time of salvation for the believing remnant of Israel. So why do we not see John Hagee or Mark Biltz mentioning the rest of the prophecies in Joel chapter 2? Why are they not talking about the mighty army that is going to ravage homes and destroy people in a manner never seen before? Why have they not mentioned these aspects and instead picking just one verse out of context? It is because they are not following Scripture but instead looking to the stars, NASA and Google for their prophetic interpretation.
Is The Blood Moon Even Mentioned In The Bible?
Even Prosperity Gospel false preachers are cashing in on the Four Blood Moon frenzy.
Hagee would have his readers and followers believe that the blood moon, which is a lunar eclipse, is what is being described in Joel 2:31. In fact it is not. As explained above a blood moon is a total lunar eclipse – a moment when the Earth comes between the sun and the moon, putting the moon in a complete shadow. The moon during a lunar eclipse appears red in color because of the way light bends around the earth’s atmosphere, scattering short wavelength light (green through violet) and leaving longer wavelength light (red, orange and yellow). It’s why sunsets and sunrises generally are red. During the 20th century, there were 229 lunar eclipses and 85 of those were complete lunar eclipses which lead to the “blood moon.”
Joel 2:31 describes a sign in the sky when the moon is red and the sun is dark. The sun does not turn dark during a lunar eclipse (it looks as it would normally look on any day). The sun looks dark during a solar eclipse – which is when the moon passes between the Earth and the sun thus “blocking” the sun’s light and making it appear black. Thus what Joel 2:31 is describing is something that has never occurred before in history and could only occur by supernatural means. By putting all the focus on the Blood Moons, Hagee and Biltz have successfully ignored the very clear statement about the sun being dark at the same time, making Joel’s prophecy something far different from the naturally occurring lunar eclipse and tetrads.
The Fulfillment Of Joel 2:31
The real blood moon is described in the book of Revelation.
We find the fulfillment of Joel 2:31 at the sixth seal of Revelation chapter 6:
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains; And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb: For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand? – Revelation 6:12-17.
This is the one time in scripture where the sun turns dark and the moon turns to blood at the same time. It is the fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy. And as detailed in our the Beginning and End Rapture Series, the 6th seal is the moment when the Day of The Lord begins. Notice the very specific events that take place: a global earthquake. All people in the world running for their lives. Stars falling from Heaven. But do Blitz and Hagee look to this prophecy and say this will all happen on Passover 2014? No. instead they make vague assertions that God is “trying to tell us something” and “something major” will happen in the Middle East. The Four Blood Moon theory is not proper Biblical interpretation. It is instead more akin to astrology and horoscopes.
The Heresy of John Hagee and Mark Biltz
Sadly, some Bible teachers are linking the blood moons to the Second Coming.
And as [Jesus] sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. – Matthew 24:3-5.
To no surprise, Hagee and Blitz are both teachers of blatant heresies and Biblical errors. Here is a video for Hagee’s book “In Defense of Israel” where he makes the outrageous claim that Jesus Christ did not come to Earth to be the Messiah:
These statements amount to pure blasphemy. In Hagee’s book, he attempts to clarify his intent by stating that the Messiah was meant to be a political deliverer – a role which Jesus rejected, not a spiritual savior of souls. Here are some excerpts where Hagee explains his position:
• ..God gave Moses four signs to convince the children of Israel that he was their messiah… He knew he was anointed of God to overthrow Egypt and lead the Jewish people to the promised land.” p. 136.
• “The next two signs God gave Moses were to convince the children of Israel that Moses was their Messiah.” p. 136.
Nowhere in Scripture was Moses ever called a “Messiah.” And he did not consider himself one. We can know this for certain from the book of Hebrews:
By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible. – Hebrews 11:24-27.
Moses, who was raised as a royal prince, and son of the of Pharaoh’s daughter, gave up his life of luxury to be with his own people the Israelites. Why? Because he believed the Gospel of Jesus Christ who God prophesied would one day defeat Satan (as recorded in Genesis 3:15, which was written by Moses himself). The Messiah, from the first prophecy ever made, was never a political leader. He was the “seed of the woman” who would one day conquer Satan. And thus Moses, by faith in God’s Word, was willing to suffer hardship in the name of Christ than worry about worldly power and glory – the exact opposite of what Hagee claims a Messiah would be doing. This absurd heresy should be a clear sign that Hagee is a false teacher.
The Bible affirms on more than one occasion that Jesus is indeed the Messiah or Christ (which is the Greek term for the Hebrew word “Messiah”):
One of the two which heard John speak, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ. And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. – John 1:40-42.
The disciple Andrew readily identified Jesus as the Messiah or Christ. Additionally Jesus identifies Himself as the Messiah:
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things. Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.- John 4:25-26.
Despite these Scriptures, Hagee boldly proclaims in his video: “Jesus refused by word and deed to claim to be the Messiah.” Once again, the flagrant heresy should be a major red flag to anyone buying into the Four Blood Moon Theory.
Hagee also proclaims that Israel never rejected Jesus, because Jesus never offered to be Messiah. Again, the Word of God refutes this claim completely:
Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. –Matthew 23:34-39.
In a very scathing rebuke, The Lord Jesus Christ assails the Pharisees for not just rejecting the men of God sent by Jesus through the centuries of Israel’s history, but for killing them. Jesus then reminds them of His desire to gather them but they “would not.” The offer of Jesus was rejected and again Hagee is in deep spiritual error. These are major false teachings and truly blasphemous statements.
Mark Biltz – The Hebrew Roots Heresy
Mark Biltz predicted the Second Coming would take place in 2015.
Mark Biltz, found of El Shaddai Ministries, is a key figure in the Hebrew Roots Movement – an unbiblical, apostate movement that seeks to return Christians to the Mosaic Law and Old Covenant. Like Hagee, Biltz believes in ethnic salvation – the idea that Jewish people, by lineage, are automatically saved and do no need to hear or believe the Gospel to go to Heaven. Here is an excerpt from a post from his website:
“My goal is not to convert Jews to Christianity but to bring non-Jews to a better understanding of YHVH through a better understanding of Torah. I think most Christians do not know YHVH as He really is but know Him as they have tried to create Him in their image rather than understanding they were created in His image.
Many Christians believe they have a relationship with YHVH but they don’t. As far as “who’s in” and “who is not in” when it comes to a relationship with YHVH I have the same answer. That is above my pay grade! Who am I to say who has a relationship with YHVH and who doesn’t? I am not the door keeper. I don’t know people’s hearts and who am I to say to YHVH who is allowed in the Olam Haba (the age of the Messiah) and who is not. Sorry but that authority was not given to me neither would I want it.
As far as Yeshua goes I believe that He is the one Moses spoke of:
Deuteronomy 18:15 “The LORD thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken;”De 18:18 “I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him.”
Joseph was not recognized by his brothers because he looked Egyptian and spoke another language. Yet he was the one that brought salvation to Israel. I believe Christianity has hijacked Yeshua and has been presenting an Egyptian which is why Yeshua is not recognized. Just as Jewish children were taken, converted to Christianity and not given back to their parents after the holocaust the same has happened to Yeshua. I believe he desires to go home.” (source).
Once again, if you are a Christian who is buying into the Blood Moon fever, this should be an enormous red flag. Nowhere in Scripture are we told that Jesus “desires to go home” to the Old Testament law. Biltz does not agree with Biblical Christian doctrine and does not believe that Jews even have to believe the Gospel for salvation. He has completely ignored the rebuke Jesus gave to Israel in Matthew 23. He has ignored the fact that all people need the Gospel of Christ to be saved. He is instead preaching a works-based religion based on the law (which Beginning and End has shown is a false teaching). For a more detailed study exposing the many false teachings of Biltz, see Dr. Scott A. Johnson’s teaching here.
Leading Christians Into The Occult?
Many ministries have Christians looking to the stars instead of the Bible.
When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. – Deuteronomy 18:9-10.
The Bible contains prophecies that run through the last day of the Earth and into the New Earth that will be created by The Lord. For a believer to gain understanding of interpreting and rightly dividing Bible prophecy, it should come through study of the Scriptures, not the stars. In Deuteronomy 18, God specially referred to those who are “observer of times” – a term for trying to determine the future by looking at constellations or other heavenly bodies, an abomination. Hagee defends his looking to the stars to tell the future by citing Genesis 1:14 – “And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:” Does this verse mean that Christians are supposed to look to the starts to gain knowledge about the future and to interpret a message from God?
Here is Christian expositor Jonathan Gill’s commentary on the verse:
“..for “signs” of good and bad weather; for the times of ploughing, sowing, reaping, &c. and for the “seasons” of summer and winter, spring and autumn; for “days” by a circular motion for the space of twenty four hours; and for “years” by annual motion for the space of three hundred sixty five days and odd hours. The Targum of Jonathan is, and let them be for signs and the times of the feasts, and to reckon with them the number of days, and, sanctify the beginnings of the months, and the beginnings of the years, and the intercalations of months and years, the revolutions of the sun, and the new moons, and cycles.” (source).
Celestial bodies light our world and provide a way to track time. We can keep the calendar and know the seasons of the year from the sun, moon and stars. The beauty of outer space and its vastness provide inherent proof of God’s existence and creative power at work. But these truths are a far cry from what Hagee and Biltz are teaching – which is looking to a lunar moon cycle to try and determine future events. In the book of Daniel, the prophet was able to identify and interpret dreams of King Nebuchadnezzar through inspiration of God. When the astrologers and the enchanters failed, the Word of God was true.
Not only that, The Lord pronounced a harsh judgment for those who dabbled in occult practices such as astrology or horoscopes:
Thou art wearied in the multitude of thy counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers, the monthly prognosticators, stand up, and save thee from these things that shall come upon thee. Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them; they shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame: there shall not be a coal to warm at, nor fire to sit before it. – Isaiah 47:13-14.
Rather than worry that “something” may happen, we should rest on the more sure word of prophecy that we have in Scripture. Pray for Biltz and Hagee to repent of this false teaching and for Christians to use discernment when the latest prophecy craze is presented before them. Christians should indeed be interested in knowing the future and end time prophecy. But it can all be found in the pages of the Holy Bible.
“Thus saith the Lord, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven…” – Jeremiah 10:2.

April 16, 2014 at 10:40 amFor any of the 30,000 + denominations of “Christians” a heretic is anyone who does not agree with their particular flavor of Constantine’s first attempt at a one world religion. By the fruit I know the tree. A tree with 31,000 + branches vilifying each other is no the tree of the ONE who said we would recognize His “taught ones” (not College educated “Doctors in Divinity” and theologians) by the love for each other. The respect for each other’s walk in the first century are the antithesis of what I see on the web and in the “Christian Industry” that sells help, advise, and care. The first teacher in the Scriptures who was explaining what G-d really meant was ha-Satan. So called “teachers” might meditate on this and also maybe consider if the pillars of their faith are nothing more than idols to their own understanding.

April 20, 2014 at 9:14 pmHi Louis Arias,
You said,
The first teacher in the Scriptures who was explaining what G-d really meant was ha-Satan.
This is indeed false beyond all recognition. Satan was not teaching the word of God, but rearranging the word to make Eve sin.
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying. Thou shalt eat freely of every tree of the garden
But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt die the death.
Genesis 2:16-17 1599 Geneva Bible
So here in verse 17, we read that God says you will DIE if you eat of the tree. Now, let’s read what the serpent or “teacher” as you called him says about eating from the tree.
And the woman said unto the serpent, We eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden
But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die
Then the serpent said to the woman, Ye shall not die at all
Genesis 3:2-4 1599 Geneva Bible
So clearly, we have the serpent saying the exact opposite of what God said. That is not how you teach the word of God. God told them they would die, and they did, spiritually and eventually physically. When they sinned, death entered the world with that sin (Romans 5:12). There would be no death had they not sinned.
So, how you get the idea that satan was the first teacher of God’s word, is beyond me. He clearly twisted the word to make Eve sin. If satan was teaching God’s word, he would not have been cursed and then told he was going to be destroyed in the future by the coming Messiah Jesus Christ (Genesis 3:14-15). He lied, because he is the father of lies (John 8:44). And you know God speaks the truth because he can’t lie (Numbers 23:19, Hebrews 6:18). I will pray for you brother. I urge you to search these scriptures I referenced so you can understand God’s truth through his word. May grace, peace and love be multiplied unto you from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. God bless
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, that when ye received the word of God, which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is indeed the word of God, which also worketh in you that believe.
1 Thessalonians 2:13

April 21, 2014 at 8:12 amThanks for your thoughtful reply. It unfortunately reflects one of the many deceases of Christianity which is the I am teacher, theologically educated and therefore superior model that has made this religion useless the the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Father or our Savior. It has a root of pride: Although I cannot hear you, I’m smarter than you, I’m right your wrong, go do some more homework till you agree with me. Balderdash!!! When G-d sent His Son, he taught 12 Jews who would teach others to teach who would teach others to teach who would teach others to teach…. Christian teachers teach, for a fee, (sometimes just and emotional reward), have thrown out the Sabbath commandment and replaced it with a tithing commandment which was meant for Levites. His Son worked as a carpenter therefore He did not tithe, but boy did He know how to give.
To teach is “to help (someone, like Eve) to learn about a subject (haSatan taught about his kingdom). He, like Christian teachers who want “to sell” their superior theology to people who keep coming year after year to get fed, and never or hardly ever, feed anyone else or bring anyone else into a relationship with only Teacher who knows. G-d teaches His Word to those who directly seek Him. and yes, He can use and uses some men, women, even donkeys to get His point across.
We can play this game of my theology is bigger than yours all day long while Satan is watching saying of how good to more of those Christians wasting their time talking about instead of bringing the Kingdom of YHWH to this place.
Although I find that your reply is condescending, as if I didn’t know the scriptures you quoted, I do apologize for the tone of my post. I am repulsed by the thousands upon thousands of “Christian” teachers around the world in English, Spanish, and German, the only languages I’m comfortable in, that keep pushing their “superior” or “correct” but really their own understanding of the Scriptures instead of pushing people to push other people to get closer to Him so He can teach them. In Christ we have one head and one Teacher. He can teach me better than you, any pastor, or prophet can.
You don’t hear me (and part of that can be my level of frustration with teachers), you can’t hear Mark Biltz or Hagee either (I’m not saying that I agree with everything or even most of what they are saying) and I’m afraid that you might not hear Him as well as you think. You’re too busy hearing yourself and filtering His word through the idol of your own theology… Welcome to another one of the thousands of “Christian” denominations that got it right… in their heads! I am continually amazed how when people get religion in their heads, they swell up so much it takes Him out of their hearts.
I am praying for you also, and for more teachers than you can imagine, because teachers are held to even a higher standard. I can’t even keep the lower one. In my experience, I have stopped turning to human teachers, to the internet, and I’ve even repented of reading too many books and have changed it to reading mostly one book, many versions and now I’m going to Hebrew and Greek texts. I take what I think I learned to Him, to His breaking heart over a fallen world too busy hearing itself. He breaks my heart every time I do and it needs to keep breaking every day.
I am sorry if I have in any way offended you, it is not my intention. It is not an act of love to allow someone to remain in error and I see you believe you are on the right path. Don’t ask me brother, ask HIm. I believe you’re headed for a door with a Heaven sign on it and a surprise you’re not expecting if you go through it. Been there, done that. I’m not smart or good enough to figure it out on my own.
May He who keeps Israel bless you, keep you, and make His Face shine upon you.
Your brother

You said,

Do you really think that telling people satan was the first teacher of God’s word is bringing the Kingdom of God here? This reminds me of a saying I heard long ago that says, “you have to understand the word of God to teach it, but you have to study the word of God to preach it”. In my opinion, none of us are worthy to preach the word of God, we all fall short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). But through Jesus Christ we can be with the Father (Ephesians 2:18). That is what brings the Kingdom of God to this place, the belief in Christ Jesus. And teaching God’s word for what it is, not rearranging it to fit your theories. In no way was I offended by your remarks, but I am scared by them, because I feel satan is turning you from the truth of God’s word. I pray you will continue to search the scriptures and find truth. God bless
Sanctify them with thy truth: thy word is truth.

April 21, 2014 at 5:05 pmSo you don’t believe haSatan is out there teaching G-d’s Word? Ask any Jehova’s Witness, Mormon, ohyper-Charismatic, Jesuit, New Age guru, any of the splinters of Messianic Judaism or even Judaism, they’ll all teach you. You don’t think it is a good idea to warn seekers with a broken heart to beware of human teachers accusing everyone else who does not share their Theological understanding of His Word a false teacher?
Now that I have offended a whole lot of other people I will conclude with something a friend of mine. who realized that the thousands upon thousands of Dollars he wasted on Theological Schools, said to me: (others have also said that same thing) When we stand in judgement before The Lord one of the things we’ll hear ourselves saying over and over is “Oops, I guess I got that one wrong also.”
I thank you for praying for me, I do need your prayers and I will keep you in mine, along with many other Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Messianic and Orthodox Rabbis and even New Age gurus. I can’t convince, nor do I want to. Trying to talk religion to people who have YHWH figured out is like trying to tell a Green Bay Packer fan that he’s got the wrong team.
I’m not commanded to agree with you but to love you. I do.
Be blessed,

First of all, the groups you mentioned, all follow false doctrine. The Jehova’s witnesses, the Mormons the new age group that you said could “teach me”, all follow distorted or twisted doctrine that contradicts the word of God. The book of Mormon, and the new world translation of the Holy scriptures (Jehovas witnesses) are both contradicting to the Bible. Even Judaism teaches that Jesus Christ is not the Messiah, which is the only way to heaven (John 14:6, John 11:25-26, Acts 4:10-12, just to name a few. seek more for yourself). I do not think it is best to associate or get taught by people who follow false doctrines that contradict what God already said. The Bible tells us this will happen, and that they are doctrines of devils (1 Timothy 4:1, 2 Timothy 4:3). We are to preach only from the word of God and follow only Him (Deuteronomy 13:4, Galatians 1:6-12, 2 Corinthians 11:4). So yes to answer your question, any person who teaches against the Bible is a false teacher and should be accursed (Galatians 1:8). If you do not believe that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven, THEN YOU HAVE NO SALVATION. I know you said you didn’t like the fact that I referenced scripture earlier, but it is the only governing authority that abides over us all. So I urge you to please, look up these scriptures and try to really study God’s word. It will help you find truth brother. God’s word is truth (John 17:17). God bless. Please read this last scripture Louis, it goes perfectly with what were talking about!
But I fear lest as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupt from the simplicity that is in Christ:

However, they are being deceived by the ‘Governing Body’ which cherry pick scriptures to fit their twisted teachings. Jesus was only a man and not god. Therefore they are considered an anti-Christ (notice little a) or one against Jesus.

April 23, 2014 at 8:27 amThanks for your reply, which does not answer my question but goes off on a tangent and does not address the issue but sends the discussion to an area where there is no discussion. What you said is true but it does not negate the fact that haSatan, uses religious people, to “teach” his version of YHWH’s Word and that true seekers of His Kingdom need to be aware of this. Wether you want to call it haSatan or the spirit of Antichrist, I hate capitalizing that word, is semantics.
When I said that haSatan was “teaching” Eve, he was and she did learn his ways and he used YHWH’s Words to beguile her. He still uses thousands upon thousands of of “teachers” in denominations and cults, or whatever you want to call them, to “teach” YHWH’s Word to beguile Christians to think they are saved when they are not. He also beguiles people into being believers and not followers. The demons believe He is who He is but they surely are not His followers. They are following the doctrines of human “teachers”, beguiled themselves by a religious spirit.
In my tour through Christian denominations, and I will only mention two of them as an example, I went through Unitarian and Trinitarian Charismatics and both flavors called the other one heretic. I will not go down the rabbit trail of the trinity because that is a whole other can of worms, but this is just one example of how Christians vilify each other when they don’t agree with their understanding of Scripture. You have done that with the blood moons, in my understanding. They don’t fit your theology so they must be heresy. Is that the only possibility?
This will be my final entry in a discussion to that seems to have gotten way too far already. Every year, during the feast of Passover, I spend time removing the leaven of stale Christian doctrines, even more stale Rabbinic doctrines, Egyptian, Babylonian, Roman, Greek, you choose the influence you want because they all have affected what we are taught by human teachers. G-d did not want us to live without doctrines because we are only to live without leaven for a week and there is leaven in heaven. He just wants us to renew them and get rid of the leaven of the people infected by religious spirits (Pharisees) What I believe now is not what I believed 10 years ago when He rescued me from the not so New Age movement and after years in Christian and Messianic denominations ordered me to get out of Babylon. He has not and will not change; I have and will continue to as, by His grace and in His Power, I follow His Word, His Son and “shema” His Spirit. That’s my story and I’,sticking to it.
I want to thank you for your time and for your love, or should I say His love in you. You, and so many other men and women of G-d are on my heart and in my prayers and I am not trying or have not tried to convince you, or any of these people in so many different denominations and theologies of anything. When I made the statement that upset you to some pastors who honestly and earnestly seek Him, their reaction was different. Their theology probably was or their meaning of my words affected them differently. Semantics is a rabbit hole that usually leads us to waste the precious little time we have left to get some souls out of here before this age ceases and this place blows up.
Be blessed and may He keep you in the palm of His Hand.

You said,

I think you have made my point for me. The evil one does not teach the word of God, but “his version” of God’s word which is a twisted perverted version that is a blatant LIE.
You said,
When I said that haSatan was “teaching” Eve, he was and she did learn his ways and he used YHWH’s Words to beguile her.
He did NOT use the word’s of God. Again, I don’t know how many times I can say this, he clearly twisted what our Lord said to make her sin. You said he used God’s word to “beguile” her. Here is the definition of “beguile”.
be·guile [bih-gahyl] Show IPA
verb (used with object), be·guiled, be·guil·ing.
1.
to influence by trickery, flattery, etc.; mislead; delude.
2.
to take away from by cheating or deceiving (usually followed by of ): to be beguiled of money.
3.
to charm or divert: a multitude
Do you see my point? He had to trick her to get what he wanted. I don’t think any more needs to be said Louis. Again, I will keep praying that you will see God’s true light through His Son Jesus Christ. God bless.
Dearly beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: for many false Prophets are gone out into the world.

April 24, 2014 at 2:23 am@Louis: I don’t think that the OP was playing the “my theology is god” game, not evenremotely. Nor was he disagreeing with you he was just trying to clarify that though a teacher, the serpent is not a teacher of the word of God, but a teacher of the word of satan. Eve thus became a listener, believer AND follower of the word of satan. So basically Adam & Eve were the first satanists.
This though is true and quite frankly a personal slap in the face reminding me its nigh time to get right with God.
“He also beguiles people into being believers and not followers.”

April 24, 2014 at 8:22 amHi Jasmine,
Getting right with YHWH is an every day and more than once a day occurrence for me. It is a process. We are right with Him because of Him. He walked through the covenant with Abraham alone, He was there on that tree in Jerusalem alone with His Son and only He can truly change us. His Word, for me can be condensed to two verbs: Trust & Obey. Religious teachers often get people to obey through fear, but that doesn’t work for very long. I believe the root cause of sin is the heart. I live in Florida and in a house when you see an infestation of carpenter ants (sin) you often have a problem with rotten wood (rotten heart) because these ants feed on termites. If you get rid of the ants, your real problem does not go away, it only gets worse. haSatan found his way into Eve’s rotten wood and she gave him the way to her husband’s. Behavior modification doesn’t cut it, we need transformation. YHWH paid an outrageous price so He could do it but it is an often messy and painful process. The question is are we willing to let Him do it. I must invite Him and keep inviting Him every day. I wish I could say that it’s the lyrics of an old church hymn comes to mind but I find that sinners are often more honest. It’s an old Duran-Duran song that I think of: “Who do you need? Who do you love? When you come undone?” And we will come undone if these blood moons signal the beginning of the Times of Jacob’s Trouble, which are more than seven years, by the way. The scariest verse of the entirety of scripture, for me, is Matthew 7:23. It doesn’t matter if we think or believe that we know Him. What matters is that He knows us. He, not us.

October 7, 2014 at 3:15 pmThe serpent used God’s words, but flipped their meaning by adding the word not. I think the point this person is trying to get across, isn’t that satan teaches the truth of God’s word, but he certainly uses it to mislead. It happens all the time nowadays. Look at the cult of zionism in the churches, using scriptures falsely to teach adoration and worship of a flesh of people and a state, just because the politicians who created it decided to plaster the name Israel on it. They can pull up all kinds of “prophecies” and claim they point to that state, yet it is satan’s teachings they spread, as the King of Kings came and established his Kingdom, which is not of this world, and the everlasting Gospel has been gathering his children from the four corners to Mt. Zion for almost 2000 years now. They teach God’s word, just as the scriptures were taught in the synagogue on the Sabbath, but with spiritual blindness, just as the vail was upon the eyes of the people back then.

October 7, 2014 at 3:31 pmI don’t follow Mark Biltz, whoever he is. What the four blood moons that are occuring in 2014 & 2015 do is to keep Christians observing things just as Jesus commanded. We are supposed to ‘watch’ and anyone that has noticed that those four blood moons falling all on Jewish high holy days plus a solar eclipse sandwiched in between them also on a Jewish high holy day….cannot help but wonder what this portends. Whether it signals the end of the world and the coming Jesus Christ I do not know…but it’s got my attention that’s for sure.

October 7, 2014 at 4:15 pmYou say there is a cult of Zionism in the churches…what is your definition of a cult? Zionism is nothing more than God honoring His covenant with the descendants (seed/DNA) of Abraham (Genesis 17:1-8)
God knew they would be scattered and God said, “For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will gather you.” (Isaiah 54:7)
God later said, “Behold, the days are coming…when I shall restore the fortunes of MY people, Israel and Judah….I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers, and they shall possess it.” (Jeremiah 30:3)
Then we have a third witness in Ezekiel who God spoke through and proclaimed that it was not for their sake (house of Israel) that He was going to bring them back, but He was going to take them from the nations and bring them back to the land so that the nations “will know that I Am the Lord.”(And that He honors His covenants) (Ezekiel 36:22-24)
And Amos puts an exclamation point to it all: “I will plant them on their land, and they will not again be rooted out from their land, which I have given them, says the Lord your God.” (Amos 9:15)
If Zionism is a cult, then the God of Israel is the founder of the “cult”.

August 19, 2014 at 9:57 amWow this is looking really good to pagans. Lets all be exactly right about everything and each of us can make a blog or website and tell everyone we are the cat’s meow. Hey, you might get somebody to agree and unite Christianity through rebuking the mindless hordes who pray to God daily. Yep. Ignorant, dumb, stupid people with small brains and terrible understandings of Scripture can still be saved because the have faith. Faith is not knowledge it is trust practiced. So if I see John 3:16 in a terrible translation of the Bible, say a New World Translation which is a cult translation, and believe that Jesus is promising me salvation and my simple, stupid, slightly retarded mind can comprehend the magnitude of a god becoming a man for argumentative scholars who now more than anyone ever has, my stupid, slow, barely functioning, incapacitated mind will be at ease because I took Christ at His word even though I’m uneducated, raised by liberals, and unable to speak well in front of others due to self esteem. My worthless mind will still be loved by a holy, loving, just God who just wants as many as possible to go to heaven because He does not enjoy the death of the wicked. So cults, idiots and people, who are really insane by nature (illogical creatures of self will) if those mongrels actually believe John 3:16 and take Christ at His word and really trust Him though they are slow, dumb and should be caged and fed only on occasion, these mongrels trusted God so He will save the mindless savage beasts who love Him and take Him at His word. Praise God. Though it is true God’s people die for a lack of knowledge, but knowledge puffs up and love edifies. So love more than you think you know, because Love is a logical, conceptual, integral part of schematics and all the theological basis of how to exercise compassion through what? Knowledge…surely not! Through loving people and knowing that no matter how illogically mindless they are they are worth love and deserve respect because even and educated theologian who knows more that all of his parishoners is a sinner and needs to trust God irregardless of his big ideas, theories, interpretations or lockdown on the Bible itself which so many claim to have. I wisely do not claim to have it and know I am more stupid than any man, most definitely a homegrown, imbread, city wanderer who wouldn’t even know how to breathe unless someone wrote a theological treatise on it discussing the varying methods with weight, justice and the American way! Amen and God bless theologians above all because they and only they know what scripture really means. They are the leaders of our cult because their interpretation is binding and unquestionable in all ways. Praise God for them!

March 14, 2015 at 8:17 amThe Word of G-d is clear: Don’t mix the clean with the unclean. The Word of G-d is not only clean it is separate.The book about the tetrads is a theory, it is interesting, it takes the focus out of the greco-roman worldview the Church was infected with and brings us to consider the Word of G-din its original Hebraic context. Sadly, the Hebraic Roots flavor of Bible interpretation immediately became infected by Babylonian Talmudic Judaism. The Torah tells us we need two witnesses. I’ll give you the ones I trust. His Word and His Spirit. I take everything else with a grain of salt. Whenever I doubt, I know Whom to ask. He always leads me to the right pasture. Blessed b He.

March 12, 2015 at 6:41 pmI don’t get souls. He does. If I convince someone with my persuasive skills someone else can sway them in a different direction later. Words are cheap. If the person I’m interacting hears the Holy Spirit, they will be saved. Peter (Keffa) heard the Holy Spirit. He knew. He still had a lot to learn and to go through but he knew. Flesh and blood evangelization is satanic deception. That’s why there are so many “so called” believers that have no fruit. And so called shepherds not warning them and pushing them out of their comfort zones even if it costs them revenue.
How do my words and my actions channel HIS power and HIS Spirit? The more justly I act, the more mercy I show and give, and the more humbly I walk before YHWH, the more I am usable. I don’t do. He does. I just have to get out of the way. More of HIM, less of me.
A word of caution. There is a price to pay. The free lunch gospel in NO Gospel at all. It is a lie from satan. Some people will want WHO they see in me. Others will hate me for it. And the more usable I become (and He can even use a donkey), the more I will come under attack. Stuff gets under the armor because we sometimes don’t put it on right.
You ask what do I want. John 3:30 is my prayer.

Those who are being called out of “organized religion” are being called out to obey YHWH’s word, not just study it. Shema does not translate well to English. When you do the Passover, not the “Rabbinic” but the biblical way, followed by 7 days of getting the leaven of man made doctrines and keeping His high days, YHWH’s Spirit will teach and transform you. When YHWH’s begotten said that we should let no man be our teacher he had a reason. If you are in a covenant relationship with Him you have access to Him, so why ask me or anyone else when you can ask Him directly. Shalom Aleikhem.

April 23, 2014 at 5:53 amPassover, which ended last Monday evening with another High Sabbath is not a Jewish or a Christian feast. If you go to the Torah, which is YHWHs Word, portions of it are not only inspired but also writing by His Hand you will see that they are YHWH’s feasts. He is my G-d, I keep his perpetual feasts. Perpetual did not end at Golgotha, The problem with the YHWH’s feasts is that a Roman emperor who worshiped Apollo needed to change them so he could incorporate the pagan feasts of the empire he was rebuilding. In the council of Nicea, celebrating the Resurrection of YHWH,s only begotten Son at YHWH’s Passover became a capital offense. Don’t believe me, check it out for yourself. The problem I have been dealing with Passover is that is being celebrated with the Rabbinic leaven that was added after the Babylonian captivity. Haggadahs, which are orders of service have very little to do with the Spirit of His Word and what He wants to do in your heart every season with His High Days to bring you closer to Him, now that He opened a door for you to do that at a price that was just outrageous. I stopped listening to human teachers some time ago. When I have something that He is putting on my heart, I check it out against His Word and I take it to Him. He answers His email much better than I or anyone else with alphabet soup after his or her name.

June 15, 2014 at 3:06 pmHi Louis Arias,
You said,
The problem I have been dealing with Passover is that is being celebrated with the Rabbinic leaven that was added after the Babylonian captivity.
The reason your struggling with passover is because your not looking to Christ who IS THE PASSOVER (1 Corinthians 5:7). He did everything perfect according to the law, including all the feasts. Let’s look!
1. Passover (Leviticus 23:5)- Pointed to the Messiah as our Passover lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7) whose blood would be shed for our sins. Jesus was crucified on the day of preparation for the Passover at the same hour that the lambs were being slaughtered for the Passover meal that evening.
2. Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:6) – Pointed to the Messiah’s sinless life (as leaven is a picture of sin in the Bible), making Him the perfect sacrifice for our sins. Jesus’ body was in the grave during the first days of this feast, like a kernel of wheat planted and waiting to burst forth as the bread of life.
3. First Fruits (Leviticus 23:10) – Pointed to the Messiah’s resurrection as the first fruits of the righteous. Jesus was resurrected on this very day, which is one of the reasons that Paul refers to him in 1 Corinthians 15:20 as the “first fruits from the dead.”
4. Weeks or Pentecost (Leviticus 23:16) – Occurred fifty days after the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread and pointed to the great harvest of souls and the gift of the Holy Spirit for both Jew and Gentile, who would be brought into the kingdom of God during the Church Age (see Acts 2). The Church was actually established on this day when God poured out His Holy Spirit and 3,000 Jews responded to Peter’s great sermon and his first proclamation of the gospel.
5. Trumpets (Leviticus 23:24) – The first of the fall feasts. Many believe this day points to the Rapture of the Church when the Messiah Jesus will appear in the heavens as He comes for His bride, the Church. The Rapture is always associated in Scripture with the blowing of a loud trumpet (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:52).
6. Day of Atonement (Leviticus 23:27) – Many believe this prophetically points to the day of the Second Coming of Jesus when He will return to earth. That will be the Day of Atonement for the Jewish remnant when they “look upon Him whom they have pierced,” repent of their sins, and receive Him as their Messiah (Zechariah 12:10 and Romans 11:1-6, 25-36).
7. Tabernacles or Booths (Leviticus 23:34) – Many scholars believe that this feast day points to the Lord’s promise that He will once again “tabernacle” with His people when He returns to reign over all the world (Micah 4:1-7).
Brother, I don’t judge you for following these feasts. But is only belief in Jesus Christ that gives you salvation (John 14:6, John 10:7-11, John 3:16, 1 John 5:11-13, Acts 4:12, Ephesians 2:4-9, please seek more!). My point is, that you might be struggling because you are not looking to Christ who did everything perfectly, remember he said “it is finished” for a reason (John 19:28-30). Everything thing was finished on Calvsry’s Cross, Amen and Amen! Jesus finished every feast, every Jewish tradition, every ounce of the law in his life, ministry, death and ressurection. If you follow Christ, you will in turn follow every feast mentioned in this comment. Again Louis, I will keep praying for you brother, that God will help you through all you struggles. May grace, peace and mercy be multiplied unto you from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord! Amen and God bless.
Let no man therefore condemn you in meat and drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days.
Which are but a shadow of things to come: but the body is in Christ.

March 14, 2015 at 12:29 pmMindless hords? How about heartless? How about the hordes that pray to a god that gets people to strap explosives on women and children to blow themselves up? They have faith? Does their faith save them or only yours?
Can I take one verse out of context, teach my own interpretation as truth (Because if you don’t agree with me then, of course it could only be eisegesis). And by the way, let me substitute charity for love, because charity could hit my pocket, and love, of which there seems to be very little in your post, is just a warm and fuzzy with no cash value. What does God require. I don’t know what yours does, but mine expects me to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly before Him. There is very little humility in your post. Sadly, there is little in mine as well.
I have no problems with combativeness. Yashua was so combative the Babylonian trained theologians of the time made sure He hung on a tree. His tone was different. His choice of words was not self or other deprecating. I don’t have a lot of time for blogs anymore but today is His Sabbath and this is where I’m at. You sound angry. I wonder if is righteous anger or not? Been there, done that. It leads to the wrong place.
Many of Christianity’s theological pillars of the faith are man made. They were probably well intended, but they came from people who were up in their heads. I’ve learned that it’s about the heart. He can figure out DNA, he doesn’t need my head. He wants my heart. Why He wants it is beyond me, but He has it. The cleaning and healing and opening it up to others is a lot harder process than reading and playing games of the intellect.
My hope is not in my understanding, or my faith, or my anything. My hope is Him. He is my only hope. Yashua didn’t save me just over two thousand years ago. He does every day, never slumbers or sleeps and the sad thing for me, is that the more I know Him, the less I can understand him. He doesn’t even need that. He wants my heart. He earns it every day.
Blessed be He.
P.S. Pray for theologians, and for me also. I will pray for you.

You quote the Scripture:”Let no man therefore condemn you in meat and drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days.” Is your interpretation of this passage of Collisions the only possible interpretation? It it isn’t, should it the taught as Truth? Do you think it was Paul’s intention, which a line in one of his epistles to a letter he wrote to one congregation in Greece (And we don’t have a copy of the one he received, that I know of) to turn the 10 commands to only nine? Do you think that because he taught a bible study on a Sunday, he intended to alter the decalogue? Was YHWH being whimsical when He did not His people to eat unclean animals in Sinai? Did the pig become clean after Calvary? Could Paul have had a different purpose in mind when he wrote that verse than have it applied to the whole of Scripture?
Collin, my dear brother, I do believe that the Hebrew roots movement is heading in a very wrong direction. Unfortunately, so has the Greco-Roman interpretation of Scripture for a long time. I have stopped trying to convince people. Persuasion is useless when what is needed is deliverance. Try and convince a Jehovah Witness or a Mormon or a Sufi… It will do no good. Unless the Holy Spirit reveals the Truth, it’s only in the head, where a very ugly bird will pick the seed easily.
Pesach is around the corner. It is the most beautiful gift from YHWH. He Torah was never a snake. It sadness me that Babylonian Judaism perverted it and that people who believe they are in the New Covenant don’t have it written in their hearts. I love Peach, the reason for the cup breaks my heart every year. It is good to know and remember the first exodus, specially if you are going to be luck enough to be part of the second one. Yoseph or Aramathea and Nicodemus could not celebrate it the first time because they were unclean. I am sure they did it the second time it was available to them that year. It was a Roman emperor that made it a crime punishable by death to celebrate, like followers had for the first thee centuries. Christians sold out. Why was Eusebius surprised when Constantine changed the day of rest to Sunday when we wrote that he knew that Constantine knew that the day of rest was the Sabbath? I prefer a Berean a theologian. I pray more for theologians than for Bereans.
What is most despicable about the Hebrew Roots movement is that they give Christians and excuse to throw out the baby with the dirty bathwater. The chair of Moses, all over again. It was never Moses, it was the Spirit that inspired him they couldn’t hear. They could only hear the words of the Babylonian theologians. A Haggadah isn’t even Hebrew in origin. I am not trying to convince you or anyone of anything. I am just suggesting that when we examine what we think we know, sometimes we can be surprised with what we can learn. The problem with knowledge, is that once we have it, we are responsible to obey. Obey… there is that nasty old testament word again.
Be blessed and don’t be surprised if it takes me a while to answer.
Be blessed, and thank you for your faithfullness
Shalom.

April 17, 2014 at 12:22 pmGreat Article. I can’t really add anything to it that youhave not covered. I will say the Hebrew Roots movement is deceiving many. even though they know the word of God they are allowing the word to be twisted in the lie of going back to the law. And Most likely because they have been so disspaointed in their churches. Pray for the body of Christ to see the truth.

April 20, 2014 at 11:32 pmI’m kind of disappointed to hear the Hagee will make such absurd predictions. I guess some pastors it just goes over their head and make it seem like they have all the answers to mankind. It’s true we should read the bible and ask God for understanding and wisdom. Only with God we can walk in the truth…

I just want to say, I think its amazing how we look to other sources for signs of the end of the age when Jesus made these signs very clear (Matthew 24:4-51, Luke 21:25-27, please seek more for yourself!) Im not saying you shouldn’t do it, but all the signs of the “beginning of the end” as you call it, are in the Bible, plain and very clear. I’ll trust Jesus my Lord and savior. The scripture I referenced earlier sums this up pretty good. Amen and God bless!
Then there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars, and upon the earth trouble among the nations, with perplexity: the sea and the waters shall roar.
And men’s hearts shall fail them for fear and for looking after those things which shall come on the world: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
And then shall they see the Son of man come in a cloud, with power and great glory.

May 16, 2015 at 8:24 amCollin, I wasn’t sure what of your point of view or ‘theology’ but was suspecting ‘reformed.’ Your siting the Geneva Bible was my verification. Dear Brother, (and I hope you are truly that) please research with an unbiased mind and heart the life and times of John Calvin. I am not his judge, but I suspect he is not with Messiah Yeshua. He killed, or as with most lying cowards had them killed, 52 people who disagreed with his ‘theology.’ One polymath by the name of Michael Servetus was burned at the stake for having the temerity to dispute and disagree with JC on the doctrine of infant baptism and the trinity. John Hagee in all his error and buffoonery doesn’t hold a candle to the blasphemous error of T.U.L.I.P. Please, dear one, it’s not too late to have your mind regenerated by the washing of the Word and the renewal of the Holy Spirit (Ruach Hakodesh). If there is a more pernicious and subtle false teaching as Calvinism, I’m not aware of it. If the root is bitter, so will its fruit. Shalom Aleikhem.

September 25, 2014 at 5:01 pmAs you have correctly stated, in the last 500 years there have been three occasions there were a tetrad of blood moons all on God’s appointed days. However, there was never a solar eclipse right in the middle of the four blood moons, and on a God assigned day as well (Nissan 1 in this case.)
I find it interesting there were three huge events that took place BEFORE each of the tetrad of blood moons. Therefore, maybe we should be paying attention that something very significant could take place before the completion of these blood moons as well.(You have admitted something very significant took place Before these four blood moons were completed in the past.)
However, if nothing of historical/biblical significance takes place Before the completion of the four blood moons this time….then the possibility of the day of the Lord may well be afterwards.
The scriptures do not say the sun will turn dark and the moon into blood on the SAME DAY. This is an assumption on your part. (God told Adam he would die the DAY he disobeyed, but Adam lived over 900 years before dying.) The day of the Lord is not ONE day.
BTW, I find it interesting you quote John Gill, considering he held a very firm belief in the Calvinistic doctrine of salvation and was described in many circles as a hyper-Calvinist.

Kirk Coffia says
September 30, 2014 at 12:22 pmI do not agree that paying attention to the four blood moons is a heresy or unbiblical. The fact is that the blood moon IS mentioned in scripture and so is the blackened sun….both twice. So we need to at least observe things the way our Lord tells us to and make our lives right in His sight and be prepared for him WHETHER these signs in the heavens portend Jesus actual 2nd coming or not.
So although it is wrong to use these coming events as proof that Jesus is coming in 2015 or 2016 it is equally wrong to ignore it all in light of Jesus command to watch for His coming. Why do you have to ‘throw the baby out with the bath water’?

A CHRONOLOGY OF THE ESCALATING VIOLENCE BETWEEN ISRAEL AND THE PALESTINIANS IN RECENT MONTHS
It has been a difficult year for Israelis and Palestinians, with the failure of peace talks and a string of violent incidents that shows no signs of ending. Here is a look at some key recent events:
April 24: Nine months of U.S.-mediated peace talks collapse.
May 15: Two Palestinian teens killed in a West Bank clash with Israeli troops on the day that Palestinians mark their uprooting during the Mideast war over Israel’s 1948 creation.
June 2: A Palestinian unity government is sworn in, a major step toward reconciliation between the rival Fatah and Hamas factions. Israel denounces the government because it includes Hamas.
June 12: Three Israeli teenagers – Eyal Yifrah, 19, Gilad Shaar, 16, and Naftali Fraenkel – are abducted and killed by Hamas operatives in the West Bank.
June 13: Israel launches a broad military operation to find the teens, arresting hundreds of Hamas members. Hamas militants in Gaza respond with rocket attacks.
July 2: Mohammed Abu Khdeir, a 16-year-old Palestinian from east Jerusalem, is abducted near his home and burned to death by Israeli extremists in a revenge attack for the deaths of the Israeli teens. The death triggers violent protests.
July 8: Israel launches a military campaign against Hamas in Gaza after heavy rocket fire on Israeli cities. The war lasts 50 days and kills more than 2,100 Palestinians, mostly civilians, according to the United Nations. Seventy-two people die on the Israeli side.
Oct. 1: Israel gives final approval for construction of a new housing development in east Jerusalem, the section of the city claimed by the Palestinians as their future capital.
Oct. 2: Israeli nationalists move into apartments secretly purchased in the heart of the Arab neighborhood of Silwan in east Jerusalem.
Oct 20: Israeli nationalists move into more apartments in Silwan.
Oct. 22: A Palestinian rams his car into a crowded Jerusalem train station, killing a 3-month-old Israeli-American girl and a woman from Ecuador. The attack comes after weeks of clashes around a sensitive holy site revered by Jews and Muslims.
Oct. 29: A Palestinian on a motorcycle shoots and seriously wounds Yehuda Glick, an Israeli-American rabbi campaigning for more Jewish access to the contested Jerusalem holy site.
Nov. 5: A Hamas militant slams a minivan into crowd waiting for a train in Jerusalem, killing two.
Nov. 8: Israeli police shoot and kill an Arab Israeli protester at a demonstration in northern Israel. Video indicates the man was walking away from the officer when shot.
Nov. 10: Palestinian attackers kill two Israelis in Tel Aviv and the West Bank in separate stabbing attacks.
Nov. 13: U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry meets Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Jordan’s King Abdullah II in Amman; the trio agrees on steps to defuse tensions at Jerusalem holy site.
Nov. 14: Israel lifts age restriction at holy site; Friday prayers go off without incident.
Nov. 16: Police say Israeli man stabbed in the back by an ‘Arab’ attacker in Jerusalem and wounded. Assailant escapes.
Nov. 17: Israeli government says it will step up punitive demolitions, gives notices to families of Palestinian attackers
Nov. 18: Two Palestinians storm Jerusalem synagogue, kill four and wound eight.

December 18, 2014 at 12:20 pmI might not agree with everything each individual has stated; however, numerous times in the Bible people were warned of the things to come, both good and bad, and many did not believe. A great example is the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I don’t believe these individuals are “predicting” the future or trying to predict the future; instead, I feel that they are warning Christians and non-Christians to repent from their evil ways because the Lord may choose to come at any time. Why NOT now? In many ways our society seems to possess the evil ways of Sodom and Gomorrah or those of the people of Ninevah. Perhaps God is warning us with the four blood moons that we all need to repent of our evil ways. Afterall, God might be planning to take us one by one, not as an entire nation or world all at once. Either way, it never hurts to always be prepared, and that is what God tells us to do.

Then when they do, God is so pissed they messed up his Jewel, he ends up giving them to Satan! (As planned…)
Plus, never having made Any Such Deal with them that they would all be ‘automatically saved’, God says to them (before Satan takes them all below), “How could you have ever believed that only You would have no consequences, no matter what you do? That should have been your big tip off right there!”

March 20, 2015 at 6:18 pmThe thing is that the blood moon/eclipse occurrences is not the only sign we are getting. You have Johnathan Cahn’s teachings on the shmita and the Isaiah harbinger prophecies. The world around us is falling apart. I had a Rapture dream in August, and the church I go to does not believe in the Rapture. I was a registered nurse, I was assaulted and became an addict. I lost everything and ended up using IV drugs. A couple years ago, I started going to church. I was still using and after about 6 months, I got up one morning prayed and proceeded to do a pain pill. I got the needle to my arm and I heard “You do not need that I have saved you”. That is when the spiritual attacks started. My husband passed last March, GOD gave me a warning dream, so I knew I would not be alone and gave it all to him. A month after he passed, I was lead to a man on y/t codesearcher dot net. He is a spirit filled Christian, he does Bible code. He does not use it for divination like most, he references the hidden messages with the plain text. He uses it for confirmation of the prophecies found in the Bible related to these last days. There is a table on the blood moons and the feast days (which are prophetic in nature and the Spring Feasts being fulfilled with Jesus crucifixion and resurrection). Here is a link to his tables, like I said he is on y/t as well. GOD bless

May 17, 2015 at 8:18 amHi Brandy,
I love your candidness. The road back to YHWH is full of thorns. I don’t know why, nor do I have to, why He allows us to wander on dark roads along the way. Danger lurks in darkness. Fortunately, there is no place where He is not, and therefore, He is there with us through it all. I have become weary of many “spirit-filled” Christians, because I sometimes wonder what spirit they are filled with. Why would a believer need confirmation. There is no need for confirmation. His Word is true. As for bible code, it is beyond me why anyone thinks they can figure YHWH out. Do some research about bible code, you might learn some disturbing facts.
Dreams are also something it is advisable to be cautious about. Some dreams do come from YHWH, we know that. Scripture says so. Everything YHWH does, His enemy copies. Be careful about the rapture dream. The rapture is a theological concept developed just a couple of hundred years ago. I have studied and prayed about it for years now and I have my answer. I am not your Holy Spirit, but in Yashua you have access to the throne of YHWH. Ask Him. His Spirit will bring you His answer. (And His enemy will give you a bunch of spiritual-sounding theologically sound answers which theologians themselves will fuss about)
There are many things that are learnt better in dim light. But once you learn them, unless you are directed by YHWH to stay there for His work, come out to the light. There is no easy way. The road is narrow, very narrow.
Knowledge puffs us up and we start believing we know. Charity brings us down to earth again. It worked for me. May He who keeps Israel (and most people don’t eve have a clue about who and what Israel is) keep you.

You stated that “the rapture” was a “theological concept developed just a couple of hundred years ago”. However, scripture clearly teaches that Jesus Christ will return to “catch up” the dead in Christ along with those in Christ who are alive. So, the rapture is not in question. What has been wrongly propagated is the “timing” of such. The “pre-tribulation rapture” is false doctrine and teaching and was developed just a hundred years ago. The truth of scripture is that Jesus Christ will return after the tribulation, but before the wrath (vials) of God is poured out on the world. I Cor 15::50-53, Matt 24:29, Rev 15 & 16. Surely God has made this evident to you by now, if indeed His spirit is your teacher.

August 18, 2015 at 6:27 pmFour Blood Moons and two Solar Eclipses 2014 – 2015
Another End-of-the-World Prophecy?
You might have heard that the lunar eclipse on September 28, 2015 will complete a series of six “Signs in the Sky”.
Will it have an effect on your life that a tetrad of four total lunar eclipses (Blood Moon) and two solar eclipses (Black Sun) align with significant Set-Apart (i.e. holy) dates of YHVH , the Eternal ONE in 2014 through to 2015?
Many are convinced that this is not a coincidence, but that these eclipse clusters will turn out to be very significant harbingers of things to come.
However, the last lunar eclipse on 28 September 2015 should not be identified as the apocalyptic blood moon described in Scripture passages like Revelation 6:12-17. These eclipses are not the cosmic signs of the 6th seal of the Book of Revelation in the Bible!
The ‘Signs in the Sky’ in 2014 and 2015 are harmless Foreshadows, as a Warning, pointing to the Big, Earth and Heaven shaking Events which will occur at some stage in the “Day of YHVH”.
They carry a significant message for those who have an ear to hear. Jesus foretold that powerful prophecies would smite a clueless and unprepared world. There is a timeline and an exact order of prophetic events before “the Battle of Armageddon” and Christ’s Return. But understand. When these final events arrive, it will already be too late for you to heed Yahshua Messiah’s words.
For further information regarding the “Signs in the Sky” please go to e.g.: http://issuu.com/eli.yah/docs/four_blood_moons_2014_2015.docx
ARMAGEDDON – 2017?
Together, watching the “mysterious” signs of our days and studying the records in the Bible (e.g. Matt 24), will give insight that 2017 CE will be a year out of the ordinary!
In 2017 CE, 6000 years will have passed since the creation of Adam, and the last 1000 years of the “7000 year Agenda of GOD” will be ushered in.
For information regarding “GOD’S 7000 YEAR AGENDA” please go to e.g.:
http://issuu.com/eli.yah/docs/gods_7000_year_agenda
The 7000 Year Plan of YHVH is not a new age concept.
You come across this teaching, which is derived from the Bible, already in the Books of Irenaeus (Bishop of the early Church, 130 CE – 202 CE.
GOD – who controls all things – reveals in the Scriptures that at ‘the time appointed,’ the “End Time World Order” will be destroyed and Jesus Christ (Heb.: Yahshua Messiah) will take over and establish His Millennial Kingdom.
Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our GOD, and of his Messiah; and he shall reign forever and ever.
But when will this happen? Are there any clues in the Holy Bible, which might lead to the year and maybe even to the season of His return (1.Thess 5:1, 4)? The answer is YES!
To be able to uncover GOD’S “hidden” message, we have to start recognizing that the Bible contains accurate data. The Holy Bible is not a fairy-tale book, as some in the world try to make us believe!
As a matter of fact, when you bring together the evidence contained in the “Old” Testament and the “New” Testament, you are able to count the years from the creation of Adam (3983 BCE ) to the Millennium of Jesus Christ (2017 CE).
The English e-book is a shortened version including new discernments. It contains the essence and may give you a good understanding of GOD’S plan for mankind. The unabridged original German e-book can be downloaded without charge e.g. at http://issuu.com/eli.yah/docs/gottes_7000_jahres-agenda_2015.

which means the sun darkened and blood moon would happen “BEFORE” JESUS returns NOT on the exact day He returns.
The sign (eclipse/blood moon) Gen 1:14 in the heavens was a signal to the body of Christ that JESUS is about to return soon.
I doubt anything happens on the blood moon day in Sept.

September 28, 2015 at 9:30 amFor the unbelievers out there, there are many false denominations and people who claim to be Christians that do not believe the Bible. The vast majority are very easy to identify to anyone who knows the Bible. For instance the Bible clearly teaches that whosoever shall call upon the name of the lord shall be saved (Rom. 10:13) meaning salvation is by faith alone. Most Christians do not believe this even when they say they do believe it… ask them if a person can live however they want and still be saved and most will say “of course not”… betraying the fact they are still trusting in their own righteousness to save them rather than the finished work of Jesus Christ. (The word ” repent” that gets thrown around so often comes from the same root word we get “pensive” from, thus “re-pent” means to “re-think”.)
Also the claim that all Christianity came from Catholicism is false. Christianity existed way before the Catholic church and Constantine. Don’t just believe everything they tell you in school, they have an agenda. Real Christians have always existed outside of Catholicism, they were often the ones being burned and tortured by them.
But anyway, I hope that John Hagee feels stupid today (9-28-15). For his followers….he made merchandise of you, exactly like the Bible said these greedy false teachers would (2 Peter 2:3). Don’t believe anyone who tries to sell you stuff to get their special understanding. The king James Bible is available online for free, and at the dollar store for one dollar.

September 28, 2015 at 9:48 amLet no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. (2 Thessalonians 2:3)
The Bible is so clear here. The day of the Lord SHALL NOT COME UNTIL THE ANTICHRIST IS HERE. When it says “revealed” that means we Christians all know who he is… it won’t be hard, it’ll be the guy the rest of the world and most professing Christians (that aren’t really saved) think is actually Jesus.
2 Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-2)
The Bible says the day isn’t even at hand until that happens, folks! I wish these so called Christian teachers would sit down and shut up. It’s an embarrassment to the rest of us.

ELI YAH says
November 24, 2015 at 4:05 pmOut of the chaos and confusion following the fall of Babylon, Antichrist (666) will manifest himself with an intensity of iniquity greater than ever before.
A assembly of confederated nations united with the 8th head is the new superpower, » another “Babylon” (the meaning of Babylon is confusion) « will be the centre of prefigured prosperity and security and the centre of infidelity, “socialism-communism”, and false spiritualism. The head with the spirit of Antichrist is the summing up and concentration of the entire world evil that pre-ceded. It is the eighth head, but yet one of the seven (Rev 17:11).
Such moves are roundly condemned by the prophets as apostasy from YHVH, their true and only Adonai.
True unity must come from within. When outward unity is attempted the result will be, as in this case, separation, dispersion, confusion. Their new protectors will become their captors.
As they submitted to the mark of the beast, so they must bear the mark of the avenging LORD.
When these times of scarceness come, those people of GOD who will suffer and find that their hearts can scarcely bear these momentary afflictions, must remember HIS promises and take warning to flee from the wrath to come; for if these trials are not sanctified by the power of the Holy Spirit, to the cleansing of their minds and hands from sin, far worse things will come upon them. Affliction, if it does not melt, hardens the sinner.
Those who fear GOD will unite in prayer and witness to HIS truth, righteousness and holiness; as wicked men of every rank and profession plot together to wear them out. Remember: The outcome of the battle is predetermined (Rev 20-22).
Rev 21: 7-8 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
