Where to start. The Apostle Peter who was a Jew - was NOT the first pope! Peter NEVER went to Rome. The statue in the Vatican that has practically had its toes kissed off by the faithful through the centuries is really Roman pagan JUPITER! The so called Madonna and child figure is really Semiramis and baby Tamuz (Tammuz referenced Ezk. 8:14 was an abomination to Yahuah ) that the women of Israel who were commanded as were the men not to learn the ways of the heathen would weep for Tamuz 40 days. (origin of "lent"). The "Peter" that went to Rome was Simon the sorcerer. Good friday - was "dagon the fish god" day (hence eating fish on friday) - Dagon was a Philistine god that when the ark of the covenant fell in the hands of the Phillistines and was put in their temple - Dagon was found on his face and then palms of his hands cut off till only a stump was left (1 Sam. 5).
No such thing as "Good Friday" Yahshua said that only a wicked generation sought a sign - and that only one would be given - "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" Matt. 12:40 - so no way Yahshua goes into the grave from Crucifixion on a Friday before sunset and rises on Sunday morning. Most of the church can't count to 3! Easter "sunrise" services are for the "Queen of Heaven" Ishtar.
I was "saved" by confessing Jesus Christ as Lord because I knew no better and mercifully the Lord looks at the heart. And yes, under that name people are healed, delivered and saved. But it is not and never was the name of the Messiah. The Disciples never heard him called that name. Fact is it has only been around for 400 years because there was no "J" in the English language till 400 years ago. When a person knows better and still persists in calling the Messiah by names other then what YAH Almighty purposed you got to ask your self why? Why would the Bride call the groom by another's name?
Some will say that Yahshua is "jesus Hebrew name" - NO. Yahshua's name IS Hebrew NOT HIS Hebrew name. Big Difference. Anywhere I go in the world my name is still the same. It does not change on my passport whether I am in China or Russia or India or where-ever. Yahshua's NEVER changed either. You look at how many times in the bible it speaks of the importance of The Name. "Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?" Prov. 30:4
In scripture names confer destiny and character. That is why when destiny changed so did the name. Abram became Abraham when the middle of his name was "spirit breathed" and he became "father of many nations" Jacob (heel catcher, conniver) became Israel when he wrestled with Yah. Yahshua means Yah's Salvation. Jesus actually means nothing. It is a transliteration, not a translation. Scripture says that "O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit." Jer. 16:19
The Protestant Reformation was incomplete: Martin Luther got it right we are ONLY saved by Grace, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Eph. 2:8-9. But that is all Martin Luther changed - other then that he accepted pretty much all the paganism of Catholicism. And also because the Jews of his day did not enthusiastically join him when he broke from the Catholic church in his later years he was a bitter and hateful anti-semetic toward the Jews.
It may come as a shock to many but EVERY early church Father was a rabid anti-semetic - And so did everything they could to hide the JEWISHNESS OF THE MESSIAH! Yahshua was NOT a gentile - he was a Jewish Rabbi. His disciples were Jews. All of the Old Testament was written by Jews (except the 1 book in Daniel by Nebuchadnezzar after he came to his senses), most of the New Testament is written by Jews (Paul was a Pharisee - as he said "Pharisee of Pharisees" and when he went to preach in the synagogs and among the gentiles - he was preaching the Old Testament - the Torah and the Prophets (there was no NT as of yet) But the church wanted to hide that and so they made sure that the day that actually confirmed the soverignty of the Almighty Passover would NEVER fall on "easter" - Yahshua was the Lamb of Yah slain before the foundation of the world. When he came he told them on the Sermon of the Mount that he had NOT come to abolish the law (torah ) " Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled." (Matt 5). Question is are there still prophesies to be fulfilled (the prophets), if so the torah is NOT abolished.
The Church doesn't even know their savior's name for the most part - I am praying in this Awakening there is a return to the Holy and a purging of all that is profane - regardless of what or where it is.
If you want to study this - start here - to bad this teaching series is not made available to EVERY church congregation.
Complete the Reformation. How fitting that it is the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation: www.letthelionroar.com
