📖 Chapter 1: The Rise of the Institutional Religious System

“You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of YHVH your Elohim which I command you.”
— Deuteronomy 4:2

The condition of what is commonly referred to today as “the Church” is not the result of mere theological drift or cultural compromise. It is the fruit of something much deeper — the intentional replacement of YHVH’s covenant order with a man-made system dressed in the appearance of holiness.

This is not a call to fine-tune church structure or reform its practices. It is a call to reject a system that YHVH never commanded, because its foundations were built by men — not by Elohim. From the beginning, this institutional religious model has served to centralize power, control doctrine, and keep the people passive under appointed gatekeepers.

📜 From Pharisees to Pulpits: The Blueprint of Institutional Control

The synagogue system that dominated in the days of Yeshua was not established by YHVH in the Torah. It arose during the exile, growing into a Pharisaical structure that added to the commandments of YHVH and placed rabbinic authority above divine instruction.

These synagogues — often built on every street corner — were not just places of worship, but mechanisms of social control, keeping the people bound to oral law, rigid hierarchy, and fear-based compliance.

“They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to move them with their finger.”
— Matthew 23:4

Today, we see a near-identical pattern replicated across the modern landscape: churches on every corner, each holding to its own doctrines, creeds, and hierarchies — while the people remain largely disconnected from the very commandments of YHVH. The weekly cycle revolves not around obedience and justice, but around attendance, tithing, and passive listening.

It is the same blueprint. Only the branding has changed.

⚠️ Yeshua Confronted the System — He Didn’t Endorse It

Yeshua didn’t come to affirm the synagogue model. He came to call the people out of it.

His fiercest rebukes were not directed at common sinners, but at the religious rulers who stood between the people and YHVH — those who claimed authority, yet taught the doctrines of men.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! You shut the kingdom of the heavens in people’s faces. You do not enter yourselves, and you do not allow those entering to go in.”
— Matthew 23:13

The Messiah never instructed His disciples to build institutional structures. He commanded them to teach all nations to obey what He had commanded — which was the Torah, rightly interpreted, lived out in love and righteousness.

🔍 The Root Problem: Replacing Covenant with Commerce

As synagogues grew in political and financial power during the Second Temple period, Torah was slowly supplanted by the traditions of men — interpretations and rulings that created a complex legal code benefitting the religious elite. The same transformation happened in the post-apostolic era: councils, bishops, and empires began replacing the simplicity of Torah obedience with creeds and codes that could be enforced from the pulpit.

What resulted was a system where spiritual leadership became a career, Scripture was controlled through selective interpretation, and the people were conditioned to look upward to men instead of directly to YHVH.

🕯️ The Mandate: Return to What Was Commanded

This study is not a criticism of sincere believers who have inherited this system unknowingly. It is a call to see it for what it is, and to return to what YHVH actually commanded from the beginning.

• His Sabbaths, not institutional calendars
• His appointed times, not man-made festivals
• His justice, not legalism or performance
• His commandments, not church bylaws

We are not waiting for a revival within the Church. We are witnessing a call out of it — not out of fellowship with other believers, but out of a model that has long rejected the Torah, silenced the prophets, and buried the words of Yeshua under Pauline doctrine and layers of religious tradition.

“Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it. Then you will find rest for your souls.”
— Jeremiah 6:16

📖 Chapter 2: The Covenant And Calling Of A People Set Apart

“And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing… and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
— Genesis 12:2–3

Before systems, before priesthoods, before kings — there was a man who listened.

Not because of status. Not because of power. But because he believed.

That man was Abraham — the one YHVH called out from among the nations, not to blend with them, but to become a living contrast to them.

This is where the journey begins. Not in a sanctuary built by hands, but in a covenant established by YHVH’s voice and Abraham’s obedience. The blessings that followed were not “rewards for perfection,” they were responses to faithful obedience, trust and submission to what YHVH commanded.

🔑 The Foundation of a Holy People

“For I have known him, that he may command his children and his household after him, to keep the way of YHVH by doing righteousness and justice…”
— Genesis 18:19

YHVH didn’t simply choose Abraham for favor. He chose him for discipleship — to teach his children the ways of YHVH: righteousness and justice. That is the foundation of covenant.

This calling was not individualistic. It was generational. A nation would be born, not merely for survival, but to be a living testimony of YHVH’s ways to the world — a people who walk differently, judge differently, live differently, and worship differently.

They would be a contrast to the nations.

“Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you shall be My treasured possession among all peoples… and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.”
— Exodus 19:5–6

🧱 The True Pillars of a Nation: Torah and Covenant

This is where the modern world has failed — not in its failure to be “religious,” but in its rejection of what YHVH defines as holy.

Today, the visible systems of church and state stand as the twin pillars of moral authority. But their foundations are not built upon Torah. Their justice is not rooted in righteousness. Their definitions of good and evil shift like sand. And their form of order stands in opposition to the covenant YHVH established.

The institutions of men have replaced the wisdom of YHVH with codes, doctrines, and regulations that serve power, not truth.

• What YHVH called rest has been replaced by relentless production.
• What He called justice has become market-driven legalism.
• What He called holy has been declared obsolete or burdensome.

These systems — like the Pharisees before them — claim moral authority, yet they do not walk in the heart of Torah. They speak of God with reverence, but they do not honor Him in their governance, their ethics, or their structure.

“This people draws near with their mouth and honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. Their fear of Me is a commandment taught by men.”
— Isaiah 29:13

🌿 What YHVH Actually Desired

YHVH did not desire rituals without righteousness. He did not command obedience for the sake of control. He called a people to be like Him — full of mercy, steadfast in truth, defenders of the weak, lovers of peace, guardians of justice.

“What does YHVH your Elohim require of you, but to fear YHVH, to walk in all His ways, to love Him, to serve YHVH your Elohim with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep His commandments…”
— Deuteronomy 10:12–13

This was never legalism. This was always love. Obedience to Torah is not a return to bondage — it is a return to blessing, to identity, and to the righteous rule of our King.

🛑 A Line Is Being Drawn

We cannot serve two masters. The system of church and state — when not built on Torah — is just a new version of Babylon. It builds towers. It speaks of unity. It markets morality. But it does not submit to the voice of YHVH.

Like Israel in the days of the prophets, we have exchanged the honor of being a holy people for ease, popularity, and compromise. But the covenant still stands — and the call remains the same:

“Choose this day whom you will serve.”

📖 Chapter 3: The Weight of Man-Made Laws — When Righteousness is Replaced

“Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write oppression.”
— Isaiah 10:1

The Torah of YHVH is not merely a set of rules — it is a revelation of His character. Every instruction, every statute, is rooted in justice, mercy, and truth. But when man exalts his own law above the voice of Elohim, the result is always the same: oppression masquerading as order.

Today, both church and state function as enforcers of laws not given by YHVH, and doctrines not taught by Yeshua. They wear the language of righteousness, but their fruit reveals their foundation.

🧱 The Two Pillars of Control: Church and State

From the time of the Pharisees to the courts of modern government, systems have been created not to lift burdens, but to shift them — away from the powerful and onto the people.

Yeshua said of the religious leaders:

“They bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.”
— Matthew 23:4

This spirit remains. Whether in religious councils or legal tribunals, the pattern is the same: the law is twisted into a tool of control. Churches declare man-made doctrines as divine. Courts codify injustice into legality. The result is a people who are told they are “free,” yet are held in spiritual and civil bondage.

🔍 Example: Torah vs. Legalism and Statute

Let’s consider a few examples to draw the contrast:

⚖️ Torah:

“You shall have honest scales, honest weights… I am YHVH your Elohim.”
— Leviticus 19:36

Torah demands fairness in trade. It protects the poor from being exploited. There is no bureaucracy — only justice rooted in righteousness.

⚖️ Modern Code:

In contrast, modern financial and criminal codes permit:

• Predatory interest and debt slavery
• Civil asset forfeiture without conviction
• Plea bargaining systems that pressure innocent people to confess to crimes to avoid worse penalties

These are not examples of justice. They are engineered mechanisms of control and profit, made legal by the systems that created them.

⛪ Church Doctrine: Just as Oppressive

In the religious world, the same pattern is evident. Church structures teach:

• That Torah is “abolished,” though Yeshua said the opposite
• That man-made holidays are to be honored over YHVH’s appointed times
• That grace means lawlessness, and obedience is legalism

These ideas do not come from YHVH. They are the doctrines of men — and they lead people away from covenant, not toward it.

“In vain do they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.”
— Matthew 15:9

🧠 A Legal System Without Heart

The state operates in the name of law; the church operates in the name of God. Yet both systems, when detached from Torah, become cold, transactional, and predatory.

Consider this:

• Torah commands that every seventh year, debts are forgiven (Deut. 15:1–2)
• Modern legal codes ensure lifelong debt, generational poverty, and the enforcement of penalties without mercy
• Torah commands that witnesses must be heard, and the innocent protected
• Today, many are incarcerated without trial, pressured into confessions, or destroyed by legal technicalities

The systems may be called “Christian” or “constitutional,” but if they are not aligned with YHVH’s instruction, they are false authorities.

🧭 What Righteousness Looks Like

Righteousness, according to YHVH, is not burdensome:

“For this command which I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you, nor is it far off.”
— Deuteronomy 30:11

It is practical, merciful, fair — and most of all, it transforms society into one of compassion and justice.

We are not called to improve man’s systems. We are called to come out of them, to return to what is right, and to walk in the ways that lead to life.

📖 Chapter 4: The Evidence Before Us — Torah vs. Modern Legal Code

“The law of YHVH is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of YHVH is sure, making wise the simple.”
— Psalm 19:7

If the Torah of YHVH was given to bring life, freedom, and justice — then any system that replaces it must be measured by its fruit. Today, modern legal systems, dressed in robes of authority, claim to uphold righteousness — but in reality, they punish poverty, enable corruption, and create a culture of fear, not freedom.

Let us place them side by side and let their own words speak.

⚖️ Case 1: Debt and Economic Mercy

📜 Torah — Mercy and Release

“At the end of every seven years you shall grant a release. And this is the manner of the release: every creditor shall release what he has lent to his neighbor. He shall not exact it of his neighbor, his brother, because it is called YHVH’s release.”
— Deuteronomy 15:1–2

YHVH’s law built a safeguard into the economy to prevent generational poverty. No one was to be crushed under the weight of lifelong debt. Release was not optional — it was commanded.

📕 U.S. Legal Code (Title 11, Bankruptcy Code) — Bureaucracy and Bondage

“A discharge under this section does not discharge an individual debtor from any debt— (8) for an educational benefit, overpayment or loan made… unless excepting such debt would impose an undue hardship.”
— 11 U.S. Code § 523 – Exceptions to discharge

Modern systems protect lenders, not people. Certain debts — like student loans — are non-dischargeable, even in bankruptcy, unless the debtor can prove extreme hardship. The process is adversarial, expensive, and uncertain.

Torah: Freedom every 7 years.
Legal Code: Burden with no release.

⚖️ Case 2: Justice and Due Process

📜 Torah — Impartial and Swift

“You shall not pervert justice… You shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe… Justice, and only justice, you shall follow.”
— Deuteronomy 16:19–20

“One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or sin… by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established.”
— Deuteronomy 19:15

Torah justice required multiple witnesses, no favoritism, and swift trials. Bribery and delay were prohibited. Justice was local, personal, and transparent.

📕 U.S. Criminal Procedure (Federal Rules) — Plea Bargaining and Delay

“Ninety to ninety-five percent of criminal cases are resolved by plea bargains…”
— U.S. Department of Justice, 2020 Report

“A guilty plea waives the right to trial, to confront witnesses, and to appeal.”

In modern systems, the majority of accused never face a trial. They are pressured into plea deals, often confessing to crimes they didn’t commit out of fear of harsher sentences. Wealth buys better defense; poverty buys time in a cell.

Torah: Justice with witnesses, no bribery.
Legal Code: Deals behind closed doors, justice for sale.

⚖️ Case 3: Restitution vs. Punishment

📜 Torah — Restorative Justice

“If a man steals an ox or a sheep… he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.”
— Exodus 22:1

“He shall make full restitution… but if he has nothing, then he shall be sold for his theft.”
— Exodus 22:3

YHVH’s law focused on restoration to the victim. This was a fair and righteous way to punish the thief, by showing the thief the burden of the same loss the victim experienced, because of his actions. Restitution was paid directly. If a man couldn’t pay what he owed, he worked to repay it.

📕 State Criminal Codes (e.g., California Penal Code § 484) — Punitive and Profit-Driven

“Petty theft is punishable by a fine not exceeding \$1,000, or by imprisonment…”

In most cases today, the victim receives no restitution, while the state profits through fines, court fees, and incarceration costs. The offender becomes part of a system that profits off of imprisonment.

Torah: Make the victim whole.
Legal Code: Enrich the state through punishment.

⚖️ Case 4: Religious Law and Substitution

📜 Torah — YHVH’s Appointed Times and Covenant Laws

“These are the appointed feasts of YHVH… which you shall proclaim as holy convocations…”
— Leviticus 23:2

“The whole word that I command you, you shall not add to it or take from it.”
— Deuteronomy 12:32

The Torah gives precise instruction on worship — Sabbaths, feast days, justice, and clean living. It is complete.

📕 Church Creeds & Councils (e.g., Council of Laodicea, Canon 29) — Rejection of Torah

“Christians must not Judaize by resting on the Sabbath, but must work on that day, rather honoring the Lord’s Day.”
— Council of Laodicea, 4th century CE

Church doctrine rejected the Sabbath and appointed times in favor of man-made traditions. This wasn’t innovation — it was rebellion.

Torah: Worship as YHVH commanded.
Church Doctrine: Substitute man’s authority for Elohim’s.

🧭 The Verdict Is Clear

The Torah of YHVH leads to freedom, equity, restitution, and holiness. The systems of man lead to burdens, control, and confusion. Whether dressed in a judge’s robe or a priest’s collar, law apart from Torah is no law at all — it is rebellion in disguise.

We are not called to tinker with Babylon’s machinery. We are called to come out of her, and return to the law that is perfect, restoring the soul.

“For YHVH gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding; He stores up sound wisdom for the upright; He is a shield to those who walk in integrity.”
— Proverbs 2:6–7

📖 Chapter 5: The Bitter Fruit — Blessings Forsaken, Babylon Embraced

“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live.”
— Deuteronomy 30:19

YHVH gave us a clear path: obedience brings blessing, disobedience brings curse. Not because He seeks to harm, but because His laws are the very structure of peace and justice. They are not arbitrary — they are a reflection of His nature.

When these commandments are cast aside, disorder takes root. What we see today is not chaos — it is organized rebellion. It is Babylon, rising from the ruins of a forsaken covenant.

🌿 The Blessings: What Could Have Been

In Deuteronomy 28:1–14, YHVH promises:

• Peace in the land
• Victory over enemies
• Economic abundance
• Health and fruitfulness
• Global influence as a nation of righteousness

“YHVH will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not beneath…”
— Deut. 28:13

These were not symbolic. They were covenant outcomes — promised to a people who walked in His ways.

But with blessing comes warning.

⚠️ The Curses: The Consequence of Rebellion

“But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of YHVH your Elohim… all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you…”
— Deut. 28:15

YHVH warns of what would follow if His Torah was rejected:

• Confusion and despair (v. 20)
• Economic slavery and foreign dominance (v. 43–44)
• Corrupt leadership and broken families (v. 30–34)
• Disease, famine, fear, and exile (v. 22–64)

“The stranger who is among you shall rise above you higher and higher, and you shall come down lower and lower… He shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.”
— Deut. 28:43–44

Look around today — this is not distant history. This is now.

🏛️ Babylon: The System They Chose

Babylon is not just a place. It is a system: a fusion of state power, religious control, economic bondage, and moral confusion. And it is the direct consequence of rejecting the Torah.

Yeshua described it plainly:

“No one can serve two masters… You cannot serve Elohim and wealth.”
— Matthew 6:24

Yet what do we see?

• Churches that preach prosperity while denying the Torah
• Governments that legalize oppression in the name of order
• Courts that protect corporate gain and punish the poor
• Education systems that teach rebellion as virtue

This is the bitter fruit — not just of sin, but of systematic rebellion against the instructions of the Most High.

💡 They Thought They Were Free

“Because you have said, ‘We have made a covenant with death, and with Sheol we are in agreement… for we have made lies our refuge…’”
— Isaiah 28:15

The deception is deep: it teaches that freedom is found in the absence of Torah. But YHVH’s Law was never bondage — it was a shield, a light, a boundary of protection.

Rejecting it has not brought freedom. It has brought:

• Endless bureaucracy
• Unrighteous laws
• Moral confusion
• Cultural collapse
• Spiritual famine

🌾 The Harvest Is Here

Every society, every church, every household must reckon with what it has sown.

When we sow rebellion, we reap oppression.
When we sow lawlessness, we reap confusion.
When we sow selfishness, we reap division.

But when we sow obedience, we reap life.

🔄 The Call to Return

This is not an appeal to political or institutional reform. Those systems are the fruit of disobedience — they cannot save. The only way forward is the way back.

“Return, O Israel, to YHVH your Elohim, for you have stumbled in your iniquity… Take words with you, and return to YHVH.”
— Hosea 14:1–2

This is not about revival in the system. It is about exit from Babylon and return to the covenant.

📖 Chapter 6: Ballots and Babylon — When the Church Crowned the Beast

“They set up kings, but not by Me; they made princes, but I did not acknowledge them.”
— Hosea 8:4

Across the land, churches echo the same message: “It’s your duty to vote. Make your voice heard. Influence the culture for God.” They call it faithfulness. But what they’ve really done is forge a covenant with the kingdoms of this world — and they’ve taught millions to do the same.

Yeshua said plainly:

“My Kingdom is not of this world.”
— John 18:36

And yet today, His name is invoked to place men and women — often unrighteous — in power. The religious system has become not only a supporter of the state, but its recruiter, its chaplain, its prophet. And in doing so, it has left the true Kingdom behind.

🧾 The Spiritual Weight of a “Vote”

🔍 The word “vote” comes from Latin votum, meaning:

• A solemn vow
• A personal consecration
• A binding spiritual expression of allegiance

In ancient Rome, to vote was to pledge loyalty — a kind of offering to a chosen ruler. It was not neutral. It was sacred, binding, and public.

Today, most see voting as civic duty. But spiritually, it remains what it always was: a vow of allegiance to a system — even if that system opposes YHVH.

“You shall not make a covenant with them, nor with their gods.”
— Exodus 23:32

⛪ The Church: An Agent of the State

It was never YHVH’s design for His people to choose rulers among the nations. He Himself was to be their King. Yet even in Samuel’s day, the people begged to be like the other nations:

“Now make us a king to judge us like all the nations.”
— 1 Samuel 8:5

YHVH called this request a rejection of His rule. And yet today’s churches not only urge people to participate — they host the booths inside their sanctuaries. They pray over candidates who pass laws protecting the profane, enrich the powerful, and ignore the oppressed.

The religious institutions of man have become chapels for empire. They do not challenge Babylon — they serve it.

💔 Choosing the “Lesser Evil” Is Still Choosing Evil

One of the greatest deceptions is the idea that righteousness can be advanced by supporting the less unrighteous. But nowhere in the Torah or Prophets are YHVH’s people called to empower wicked rulers in the hope of better outcomes.

“You shall not follow a crowd to do evil… nor shall you testify in a dispute so as to turn aside after many to pervert justice.”
— Exodus 23:2

Voting for the “lesser evil” is still choosing evil. It is still placing your name and vow behind a system YHVH did not establish — and often, one that openly despises His Word.

🏛️ Come Out of Her — Not Reform Her

This message is not a call to get better candidates or to fix what’s broken. It is not a cry to “take America back for God” or to “restore Christian values.”

It is a warning to come out of a Babylonian religious-political hybrid that has deceived the nations.

“Come out of her, My people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues.”
— Revelation 18:4

To stay in this system — whether through tithes, votes, or allegiance — is to be yoked with the beast.

This is not about choosing between two political parties. It’s about choosing between two kingdoms.

🔥 The True King Is Not on the Ballot

Yeshua never ran for office. He never called His followers to legislative activism or political strategy. He came preaching repentance and the Kingdom of Heaven.

He warned that the rulers of this world exercise dominion — and that His people were to live differently.

“The kings of the nations practice mastery over them… but it shall not be so among you.”
— Luke 22:25–26

This world’s systems — built on wealth, control, deceit, and hierarchy — are not just flawed. They are antithetical to the Kingdom Yeshua proclaimed.

And when religious institutions push believers to participate in them, they become political agents wearing spiritual garments.

🚪 Return to the Covenant

YHVH did not call us to vote for change. He called us to be changed — to walk in covenant, to obey His voice, and to be a set-apart people.

“This is the covenant that I will make… I will put My Torah in their minds, and write it on their hearts.”
— Jeremiah 31:33

This is the restoration. Not ballots. Not institutions. Not political campaigns.

The only Kingdom that will endure is the one built on righteousness — not democracy, not constitutions, not national flags — but on the everlasting Righteousness of YHVH and the rulership of His anointed Son.

📖 Chapter 7: The Ancient Path — A People Set Apart

“Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; then you will find rest for your souls.”
— Jeremiah 6:16

There is a path older than empire. Older than Rome, older than Babylon, older than the corruption of institutions.

It is the path YHVH gave to a people He called His own — a path of righteousness, justice, mercy, and peace. It was never meant to be lived out in church buildings or governed by institutions of men. It was always meant to be a living covenant written on hearts and lived out in daily lives, in homes and communities.

🌿 A Return to the Land — The Blessing of Simplicity

When YHVH brought Israel into the land, He gave them more than territory. He gave them a way of life — rooted in agriculture, seasons, Sabbaths, and fellowship.

“You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and bless YHVH your Elohim for the good land He has given you.”
— Deuteronomy 8:10

He did not build them cities of commerce. He gave them land to sow and reap, rest and rejoice, harvest and share.

The Torah was meant to be lived out in community, where no one was left behind, and where the land itself was honored — with sabbatical years, gleanings for the poor, and cycles of release.

This is the restoration we are called to — not digital kingdoms or industrial dependence, but earthly stewardship under heavenly rule.

🤝 True Fellowship — Not Institutions, But Family

The modern church model isolates believers into passive audiences. But the Kingdom of YHVH is built on brotherhood — on mutual care, shared meals, and accountability.

“How good and pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity!”
— Psalm 133:1

In the days ahead, the world will grow darker. The systems will demand more allegiance. But the remnant will become more visible, more rooted, and more set apart.

Communities of faith — not denominations — will rise. Households of Torah — not pulpits of politics — will be the light in the wilderness.

🔄 The Prophetic Picture of Restoration

The prophets didn’t just speak of judgment. They saw what comes after.

“Then I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me forever, for the good of them and their children after them.”
— Jeremiah 32:39

“They shall dwell safely, and no one shall make them afraid. I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall no longer be consumed with hunger.”
— Ezekiel 34:28–29

These are not symbolic hopes. These are practical realities for those who return. Those who walk away from Babylon will need to learn how to live again — not just survive, but thrive in YHVH’s design.

That means:

• 📜 Obeying His commandments
• 🕊️ Keeping His Sabbaths and appointed times
• 🌾 Growing and sharing food from the land
• 🏡 Living in community, not isolation
• 💧 Walking in humility, simplicity, and trust

🕯️ Not Utopian — But Holy

This is not a utopian self serving passivity. But it is a sacrificial way of life. Established in brotherly love, obedience, and stuardship.

Yeshua never called His disciples to form massive churches. He called them to follow Him, to be salt and light, to love one another as He loved. That looks like service, not hierarchy. It looks like hospitality, not spectacle.

And the ones who walk this way — though few — will be like cities on hills, like lamps of the menorah. Not blending in. But shining YHVH’s truth.

🔚 Conclusion: The Kingdom Starts Here

This is the invitation: Return to YHVH. Return to the covenant. Return to the land. Return to each other.

The road ahead is narrow, but it is good. And it leads to peace, joy, and purpose that no government or institution could ever offer.

The systems of Babylon are falling. But YHVH is gathering His people — not into buildings, but into a body. Not under presidents, but under Messiah. And not with votes or campaigns, but with obedience, faith, and brotherly love.

🕊️ “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength.”
— Isaiah 30:15

🔚 Conclusion: A Call to Return

“See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil…”
— Deuteronomy 30:15

We were never meant to be molded by Babylon. Never meant to bow beneath its legal codes, its commerce, its corrupted pulpits or political idols. From the beginning, we were called to be a holy people, walking in covenant with the One true Elohim — YHVH.

But the systems of this world have deceived many. Churches that once claimed truth now echo the world’s slogans. Governments built on rebellion now claim divine favor. And many who claim to follow Yeshua have embraced a form of righteousness that denies the very Torah He came to fulfill and embody.

This study has not been a plea for reform. It is a cry to come out — to return to what was never broken: the commandments, the covenant, and the heart of our Father.

To return is to walk away from the illusion of freedom and into the reality of obedient liberty — where justice flows like a river, where love is action, and where the fruits of righteousness are visible in how we live, give, gather, and grow.

📜 This is not theory — it is the ancient path.
🌿 It is not new — it is the original design.
🔥 And it is not passive — it requires boldness, humility, and faith.

Let those who have ears to hear, hear.
Let those whose hearts are stirred, move.
Let those who are weary of the lies of empire and the comfort of religion — rise.

“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.”
— Matthew 5:6

The time has come to stop playing church and start walking in covenant.
To stop waiting on revival and start living in restoration.

Come out of her, My people.

YHVH is calling.
Yeshua is leading.
And the ancient path is waiting.

I will be color coding scriptural quotes on this teaching to clearly distinguish between the wheat and the tares.

The Wheat And The Tares

After careful study and testing with the foundation of the law and the prophets; the writings of, and about, the man known as Saul of Tarsus. I have come to the conclusion this person that claimed “special revelation” was an imposter. He was an infiltrator into the very heart of the work Yeshua committed to His disciples.

The work of Yeshua was to restore the lost sheep of Israel with the true message of the coming Kingdom. And to turn the descendants of Jacob back to the righteous commandments of the Torah. He would do this by revealing the truth through the law and the prophets which also prophesied of the Shepherd that would regather them and draw them back to the Father.

"For in the last days the mountain of YHVH shall be glorious, and His temple shall be on the height of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall come to it. 

And many nations shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of YHVH, to the house of the El of Jacob; and he will teach us His way, and we will walk in it: for out of Zion shall go forth the Torah, and the word of YHVH from Jerusalem." Isaiah 2:2-3

Yeshua’s mission was NOT to establish another religion and a new dispensation, called the “church age”. This same counterfeit religion that would give rise to the Roman church; which has also been the pricking thorns of religious persecution for the last two thousand years.

We were shown this warning of a false message that would be sewn along side the true message of the Kingdom, in Yeshua’s parables about the wheat and the tares.

"Another parable he put forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like a man which sowed good seed in his field:

But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade had sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.

So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didn’t you sew good seed in your field? where then have the tares come from? He said to them, An enemy has done this.

The servants said to him, Do you want us to go and gather them up?

But he said, No; unless while you are gathering up the tares, you also uproot the wheat with them.

Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, First gather together the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: then gather the wheat into my barn." Matthew 13:24-30

He gave us a clear outline to understand this parable.

Yeshua said,

• The field represented the world that would receive the seed

• The good seed (wheat) represented the word of YHVH as taught by Yeshua

• The bad seed (darnel) would be sewn by a deceptive enemy that craftily laid the poisonous seed unsuspecting

Tares are weeds that are almost indistinguishable from wheat until it comes to maturity. The mature stalks look completely different.

WHEAT

• Seed head becomes heavy and bends over when mature

• The roots go deep

• Stalks are golden in color when mature

• Seeds are also golden in color

• Harvested as a food staple/the taste is very desirable

• High source of nutrition

TARES / DARNEL

• Looser and lighter seed head that remains upright at maturity

• Shallow root system

• Stalks are darker gray or black in color

• Seeds are darker in color, often black or gray

• Toxic weed with a bitter and unpleasant taste

• Contains toxic alkaloids and can cause nausea, dizziness, vomiting, hallucinations and even death if eaten in high quantities

Historically tares caused many issues when harvested with wheat so to avoid contamination it was removed and burned at harvest.

At the time of harvest the tares stand straight up and are blackish in color. They show themselves in appearance and taste for the bitter and toxic weed they are, making them easy to gather up first before the wheat is harvested.

"…Every plant, which my heavenly Father has not planted, shall be uprooted." Matthew 15:13

The compilation of the “cannon of scripture” by the Roman church, carry two types of seed. The word of YHVH, and the words of a deceiver which were planted in the same field. The false doctrine of Paul were interwoven along with the message of Yeshua to an unsuspecting world.

Doctrines Of The Pharisees

In Matthew chapter 23 Yeshua told the Pharisees that after they made a convert to their faith, that convert becomes twice the prodigy of hell.

As Yeshua shewed in the examples he gave, they were instructing the people falsely in the law by putting emphasis on little matters and neglecting the important points the Torah commands. The examples Yeshua gave of the false teachings of the Pharisees:

• The gold of the temple is greater than the temple.

• The gift that is brought to the alter is greater than the alter that makes the gift holy.

• They preached about tithing but neglected the main message of Torah; such as righteous judgement, acts of love and mercy, and a life of faith through obedience.

What do all of these Pharisaical teachings have in common? They used their religious platform to teach the people that by their giving more to the religious establishment, they would be the greater blessed. All the while these religious leaders appear as holy to a deceived but sincere people.

The reason this doctrine will lead to destruction is because it deceives the people. The people are deceived into believing as long as they practice the customs which are taught by their religious community, and are giving a portion of their earnings to them, they will have a ticket to heaven. All the while these religious leaders neglect to teach the heart of Torah— righteousness, sacrificial love and a true faith of obedience— these teachings are not only neglected, but the very commandments that lead to life, the people are deceived into believing those works are not important for their salvation.

It is no coincidence that most members of any denominational church affiliation have been:

• Thoroughly instructed in the teachings of Paul

• Taught the law and prophets—which are the very foundation of scripture—have been done away with.

• Antinomian (lawless) in doctrine

• Syncretistic (a mixture of holy and pagan practices)

• Taught to give regularly to their religious establishment

“say to the shepherds, Thus saith YHVH; O shepherds of Israel, should shepherds feed themselves? Should not the shepherds rather feed the sheep? But you feed on their milk, and clothe yourselves with their wool, and slay the fat among them: but you feed not my sheep.

The weak ones you have not strengthened, and the sick you have not nourished, and the hurt you have not taken care of, and the lost ones you have not looked for…my sheep were scattered, because there were no shepherds" Ezekiel 34:2-6

Now over 40,000 denominations later. The people are lost and confused wandering from doctrine to doctrine because they have adopted lies that will not profit and have listened to teachers that have fleeced them for gain.

What is the true message that has been neglected or only understood in part?

In Exodus 19 YHVH makes it clear:

"Ye have seen all that I have done to the Egyptians, and I took you up as upon eagles' wings, and I brought you near to myself.

And now if you will indeed hear my voice, and keep my covenant, you shall be to me a peculiar people above all nations; for the whole earth is mine. And you shall be to me a royal priesthood and a holy nation."

This was said, just before Israel was given the Torah. Israel was delivered from the bondage of Egypt and brought out to first be given YHVH’s righteous laws and to test their hearts in the wilderness to know which of the people would be found worthy to be given the promises made to Abraham. But church doctrine teaches the law of YHVH is bondage. Where have they received that?

Wolf In Sheeps Clothing

"Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.

… these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which leads to bondage, which is Hagar. For this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children." Galations 4:21-25

"But if the administering of death, which was written and engraved in tables of stone was glorious…which glory was to be done away…for if administering of condemnation was glorified, how much more will the administering of righteousness exceed in glory." 2 Corinthians 3:7-9

Paul taught the righteous commands given at Mt. Sinai were bondage that only lead to death. And because of this doctrine people have turned back to the slavery of Egypt with all of its lawless practices and false worship. And they have made for themselves an idol of worship called “the church”.

Those that stand in defense of Paul’s doctrine claim the law was only given until Yeshua came.

"So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith." Galatians 3:24

"But now the righteousness of YHVH apart from the law has appeared, which was witnessed by the law and the prophets" Romans 3:21

Let’s test some of these areas that Paul quotes from the law and prophets:

In Romans 3 Paul craftily quotes Psalm 14, leaving out the first and last parts of this passage, so he could claim that these scriptures were referencing that ALL people are sinners and worthy of death. Let’s read the scriptures in context:

"The fool has said in his heart, There is no Elohim. They have corrupted themselves, and become abominable in their ways; there is none that does righteousness, there is not even so much as one.

YHVH looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any that understood, or sought after Him. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become good for nothing, there is none that does good, no not one.

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood: destruction and misery are in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: 
there is no fear of YHVH before their eyes. 

Will not all the workers of iniquity know, who eat up my people as they would eat bread? they have not called upon YHVH. There were they alarmed with fear, where there was no fear; for YHVH is with the righteous nation. You have shamed the counsel of the poor, because YHVH is their hope." Psalm 13:1-6  LXXe

Here David is clearly speaking of the foolish nations that have no fear of YHVH and that were oppressing His people.

In Romans 4 Paul states that Abraham merely believed, and was accounted to him as righteousness. But let’s take a closer look at the Torah to test what Paul teaches. In Genesis 26 YHVH tells Isaac the reason He made this covenant with Abraham:

"I will multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven; and I will give to your children all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest by your offspring. Because Abraham your father listened to my voice, and kept my instructions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes." Genesis 26:4-5

Let’s now compare the example Paul gives in Romans 10 of a different kind of righteousness by faith that was written in the Torah:

"For Moses describes the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which does those things shall live by them. But the righteousness which is by faith speaks this way, Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above: ) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what does it say?

The word is near you, in your mouth, and in your heart: which is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if you will confess with your mouth that Yeshua is your master, and shall believe in your heart that YHVH has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved." Romans 10:5-9

Let’s now compare this with what it really says and see if the scriptures speak of another righteousness by faith:

"If you will listen to the voice of YHVH your El, to keep his commandments, and his ordinances, and his judgments written in the book of this law, if you turn to YHVH with all your heart, and with all your soul.

For this command which I have given you this day is not grievous, neither is it far from you. It is not in heaven above, as if one should say, Who shall go up for us into heaven, and shall bring it to us, and we will hear and do it? Neither is it beyond the sea, saying, Who will go over the sea to the other side, and bring it to us, and make it audible to us, and we will do it?

The word is very near you, in your mouth, and in your heart, and in your hands to do it. Behold, I have set before you this day life and death, good and evil.

If you will listen to the commands of YHVH your El, which I command you this day, to love YHVH, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his ordinances, and his judgments; then you shall live, and shall be many in number, and YHVH shall bless you in all the land where you are going to inherit." Deuteronomy 30:10-16

We clearly see, everything that was written that Paul teaches about there being “another righteousness of faith” has only ever been about keeping the Torah which was commanded. According to what we just read in Romans, Paul says all who call on the name of Yeshua shall be saved. But what does Yeshua say?

"Not every one that say to me, Master, Master, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but they which do the will of my Father in heaven." Matthew 7:21

Let’s compare several other scriptures that are supposed to uphold Paul’s doctrine. But, just like the examples previously given, what Paul quotes are not only taken out of their context, but the very passages he quotes from, are not even speaking to the people Paul is claiming:

"For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:12-13

Here he quotes a single line out of context from Joel 2:32 to say that anyone who calls on His name shall be saved. But Joel was talking about deliverance in Jerusalem for a coming judgment. This has nothing to do with there not being any difference between “Jew and gentile”.

Romans 11:9 Paul makes the case that YHVH has disregarded Israel.

"And David saith, 
Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompense unto them:"

He uses Psalm 69:22 to say that David was prophesying about Israel being cast off. But all we need do is take a look at the previous verse and it will become obvious what this prophecy was in regard to:

"They gave me also gall for my meat; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink." Psalm 69:21

In Romans 15 Paul says that Yeshua was a minister to the circumcised to confirm the promises to the forefathers, that the gentiles would be fellow heirs. Then he strings a bunch of verses together as “proof text”. But let’s see if that is really what the meanings of those prophesies were about:

• Romans 15:9 he quotes from 2 Samuel 22:50 where David is praising YHVH for his deliverance.
• Romans 15:10 is an excerpt from the song of Moses found in Deuteronomy 32:43 where it is speaking of the day of YHVH’s vengeance.
• Romans 15:11 is a psalm of David where he is commanding all the nations and people to praise YHVH.
• And finally Isaiah 11 says that the root of Jesse shall arise and rule over the nations and they will trust Him. It also says that he will gather the lost ones of Israel and the dispersed of Judah. From where? The nations where he scattered them.

As we see here these prophecies in their context were not prophesying about other nations inheriting the promises made to Abraham. It was about Israel coming forth out of the nations where they have been scattered. Isaiah 61 and 62 are just one of many prophecies concerning the regathering and restoration of Israel and how they will obtain the wealth of the nations.

"And strangers shall come and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your ploughmen and vine-dressers. But you shall be called priests of YHVH, and ministers of YHVH: you shall eat the strength of nations, and they shall be admired because of their wealth. Thus shall they inherit the land a second time, and everlasting joy shall be upon their head." Isaiah 61:5-7

Paul’s Craftily Written Letter To The Gaul’s In Asia Minor

Let’s look at some other examples found in Galations. In Galations 3:8 Paul quotes from Genesis 22 about the promises given to Abraham.

"Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed." Galations 3:7-8

Here is an example where the literal interpretation of the blessings given to Abraham have been reapplied and given some other spiritualization of the text based on faith. But let’s look at it carefully and in its context:

"surely blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is by the shore of the sea, and your descendants shall inherit the cities of their enemies. And by your descendants shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you listened to my voice." Genesis 22:16-17

No where in this text was this a message about the faith of the gentiles, neither was it implied. This was a promise about Israel becoming a great nation and eventually they would be dispersed in every nation and because of that dispersal the nations would be blessed. Then just a couple of verses later Paul goes into the reason for his letter, to attack those that are keeping the Torah. He craftily works at attempting to convince them by the Torah that to keep what it says would only be a curse for them. As we will see the only ones it would be a curse to would be those who have evil intent.

"For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them." Galatians 3:10

Here he quotes from Deuteronomy 27:26. But who does Moses say are cursed? From verses 15 to 25 it outlines those that grievously transgress with abominations such as:

• Idolatry and graven images

• Dishonoring father and mother

• Misleading the blind

• Those that oppress the stranger, orphan and widow

• Those that have sexual relations with relatives or with animals

• Those that secretly oppress their neighbor

• Those that take a bribe to shed innocent blood

Are we honestly to believe that these righteous commandments are a curse? Only those that have evil intent would want to see those safe guards removed because all of YHVH’s instructions are given for our well being so His people aren’t defiled or oppressed.

In the next verse he uses one line of scripture to confirm his “faith” message:

"But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith." Galations 3:11

This line is taken from Habakkuk 2:4. The whole context of Habakkuk is judgment coming upon Israel by the Babylonians. As the details of judgment are given to Habakkuk YHVH tells him to wait for it, that these judgments will come at an appointed time.

"For the vision is yet for a time, and it shall shoot forth at the end, and not in vain: though he should tarry, wait for him; for he will surely come, and will not tarry. If he should draw back, my soul has no pleasure in him: but the just shall live by my faith." Habakkuk 2:3-4

This is not a faith message. It is a message of warning to those that believed the warnings Habakkuk would be giving and repent.

Next, Paul says Yeshua became a curse because he was hanged on a tree. This is a classic pharisaic argument and example of taking a line out of its context and making a theology out of it.

"Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:" Galations 3:13

So in this context, anyone who is wrongfully accused of a crime and is hanged becomes accursed from YHVH? Let’s read this passage in its proper context and discern what it is actually saying.

"And the men of his city shall stone him with stones, and he shall die; and you shall remove the evil one from yourselves, and the rest shall hear and fear. And if there be sin in any one, and the judgment of death be upon him, and he be put to death, and you hang him on a tree: his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but you shall by all means bury it in that day; for every one that is hanged on a tree is cursed of YHVH; and you shall by no means defile the land which YHVH your El has given you for an inheritance." Deuteronomy 21:21-23

The curse is NOT because a person is hanged on a tree. The act of hanging someone on a tree after they are put to death is to make a public example of them. Those that sinned and were worthy of death such as a murderer were hanged on a tree as an example of what happened to murderers. But they were also to be taken down and buried before the sun went down. This is a clear distinction from other nations that would leave the corpse up until it rots. This is why YHVH said even in those more extreme cases they were to be buried that same day, that the land would not be defiled by a stinking rotting corpse of one worthy of that punishment. An example of this was found in Numbers 25:3-4

"And Israel joined himself unto Baal-peor: and the anger of YHVH was kindled against Israel. And YHVH said to Moses, Take all of the leaders of the people, and hang them up before YHVH in the presence of the sun, that the fierce anger of YHVH may be turned away from Israel."

The next verse in Galations 3:16, referring back to Genesis 22 and the promises given to Abraham;

"Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ."

Paul makes a linguistic argument in saying that the above scripture refers to one seed not many. The truth is there is only one word in the Hebrew and Greek that means “seed”. The context determines whether it is meant as plural or singular.

"Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it forever." Exodus 32:13

Here we see that YHVH’s meaning of seed was clearly meant in the plural. Why would Paul make such a silly argument? Unless, he believed his audience were not as educated to differentiate this point.

In the next verse, Paul continues on with this salvation by faith narrative, and says that the law cannot disannul the promises made to Abraham.

"And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect." Galations 3:17

Let’s refer back to Exodus 32 just after the people of promise, made and worshipped the golden calf. YHVH tells Moses:

"Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may destroy them: and I will make from you a great nation." Exodus 32:10

It is not until Moses intreats on behalf of the people, and asked that they would be spared on behalf of the promises made to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But YHVH makes this point very clear concerning those that sin against Him.

"And YHVH said to Moses, Whosoever has sinned against me, him will I blot out of my book." Exodus 32:33

That “book” is the book of life. All that sinned in the wilderness and chose the false god they made, without repentance; rather than the true and living El of all creation, died in the wilderness and did NOT inherit the promises made to Abraham.

Paul says, the promise can’t be undone by the law. But we see here the only thing contingent of the promise was obedience to the covenantal laws.

In Galations 3:19 Paul says the law was only given UNTIL the “promised seed“ comes. But no where in the Torah or prophets is this said or even hinted at.

The next statement Paul makes, is the law was appointed or given by angels. Although this is not found anywhere in the Torah, it reflects pharisaical doctrines that were in circulation at that time.

The idea that the Torah was given through angels was rooted in Pharisaical oral traditions and schools of thought. This concept appears in various Midrashic and Talmudic sources, which describe angels as witnesses to the giving of the Torah at Sinai and even protesters against YHVH’s decision to give the law to flawed human beings.

For example, in Midrash Tanchuma and Talmud Shabbat 88b, angels question why mankind should receive such a sacred law. In response, YHVH supposedly defends His choice, emphasizing that the Torah is meant to guide mankind, despite their imperfections.

Other texts, like Midrash Rabbah and Talmud Pesachim, further elaborate on angels as intermediaries in the transmission of the Torah.

Paul draws from these traditions in Galatians 3:19, where he mentions that the law was given “through angels” as part of his argument about the temporary and mediated nature of the Mosaic law, contrasting it with the direct relationship believers have through Christ. This reflects a broader Pharisaical belief that angels played a significant role in divine revelation, acting as intermediaries between YHVH and mankind, a theme found in both Second Temple Jewish writings and early Christian texts.

The rest of chapter 3 Paul continues on with this doctrine that churches have hung their hat on. And that is, salvation is only by faith and not by obedience to the law.

In Galations 3:24 he says, the Torah was only a teacher until Yeshua came and then there is no more need for a teacher. Some have defended this statement by saying Paul was making a case for the righteousness of Torah would be in the believers hearts. But this is not what Paul was teaching. Paul’s doctrine was a salvation of faith through confession and belief.

In the next chapters of Galations 4 and 5 Paul makes it clear that he doesn’t want them keeping the command of the Torah by referring to it as:

• Bondage
• A curse
• He compares the law to the Egyptian slave woman
• Discourages any from keeping the appointed times the Torah commands
• Discourages circumcision and says he would rather those that were circumcised and teaching the law of Moses were emasculated

His conveyed ideas about circumcision and appointed days and Sabbaths were much closer to the Roman perspective:

"The Jews are a people who, in their customs, are more than ordinarily devoted to their barbarous rites. They keep themselves separate from others by circumcising their children, a practice which has led to their isolation."
— Tacitus, "Histories" 5.5

"The barbarous nations, like the Jews, with their unspeakable rites, and others with their uncivilized practices, show what they call honor, but we must not follow them."
— Cicero, "De Officiis"

Also, in Galations 5 Paul uses the Greek philosophers points of view such as Plato, and connects it with a “higher law of the spirit”.

"For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would." Galations 5:17

This idea is not found in the Torah or the prophets. Compare this with the writings of Plato.

"The body is the source of endless trouble to us by reason of the demands it makes on us. It compels us to do things we do not want to do, and it is a hindrance in the pursuit of wisdom. When the soul is freed from the body, it can reach knowledge in its purest form, unencumbered by the physical desires of the body." Plato, Phaedo 64b:

We see this common perspective in many other letters of Paul. He discourages from anything that would have been contrary to Roman and Greek philosophies. But greatly upholds and encourages everything that is in line with the teachings of the philosophers.

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."  Galations 5:22-23

"The life of the philosopher is the life of virtue, a life of wisdom and justice, dedicated to the common good…” Plato’s Republic

"The man who has a soul in harmony is the one who lives a life of virtue and moderation, in which each part of the soul performs its function properly." Plato’s Republic

I would like to show some stark comparisons between what the Torah and Yeshua taught and the message Paul brought.

⚖️ Contradictions with Paul

1. Paul Contradicts the Torah’s Eternal Validity

Torah says:

YHVH’s Law is eternal, perfect, and unchanging (Psalm 19:7, Deut 4:2, Malachi 3:6).

It is binding for all generations (Exodus 12:14, Leviticus 23:21).

But Paul writes:

“You are not under the law but under grace.” — Romans 6:14

“Christ is the end of the law for righteousness…” — Romans 10:4

“The law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ… we are no longer under a schoolmaster.” — Galatians 3:24–25

🟥 Objection:

These statements imply the Torah has a limited role, and that it has been superseded — which contradicts the Torah itself, and also Yeshua’s words in Matthew 5:17–19, where He says not one jot or tittle will pass from the law.

2. Paul Admits to Being Crafty and Using Deception

“Being crafty, I caught you with guile.” — 2 Corinthians 12:16 (KJV)

“For if the truth of God has more abounded through my lie…”—Romans 3:7 (KJV)

He also says:

“To the Jews I became as a Jew… to those under the law, as under the law… to those without the law, as without the law… I have become all things to all people…” — 1 Corinthians 9:20–22

🟥 Objection:

This sounds like manipulation — changing appearance or message to suit different audiences. Torah warns against double speech and flattery (Proverbs 26:24–26), and Yeshua condemns hypocrisy.

Paul is seen by some as using situational ethics — prioritizing results (conversions, unity with Gentiles, or Roman favor) over truth and consistency.

3. Paul Teaches Against Circumcision — Contrary to YHVH’s Covenant

Torah says:

Genesis 17: Circumcision is an everlasting covenant for all generations.

But Paul writes:

“If you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you.” — Galatians 5:2

“Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing…” — 1 Corinthians 7:19 (contextually confusing)

🟥 Objection:

Paul’s teaching nullifies a foundational commandment of the covenant with Abraham, one that even Yeshua Himself followed. If Paul teaches that keeping a permanent commandment makes Messiah “of no benefit,” he is certainly speaking against the Torah.

4. Paul Claims Authority Independent of Yeshua’s Earthly Disciples

Paul writes:

“I did not receive [the gospel] from any man, nor was I taught it; rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ.” — Galatians 1:12

Yet his gospel message was not identical to that of James, Peter, and John, who emphasized Torah observance.

🟥 Objection:

Paul claims an independent revelation, not based on Yeshua’s actual teachings, but on a vision. This places him outside apostolic accountability and opens the door for new teachings — like the “end of the law.”

5. Paul’s Teachings Were More Palatable to Rome

Paul emphasized submission to governing authorities (Romans 13:1–7), even though Roman rule was oppressive and pagan.

He promoted a Gentile-friendly gospel, downplaying circumcision, dietary laws, and the Sabbaths — practices that were targets of Roman persecution.

His message was more Hellenistic, using Stoic and Greek philosophical language.

🟥 Objection:

Paul’s version of the gospel was intentionally designed to appease Roman sensibilities, making it easier to spread and less threatening to the Empire. This stands in contrast to Yeshua, who was crucified as a revolutionary and never compromised Torah to gain followers.

6. Paul’s Gospel Was in Conflict with Yeshua’s Words

Yeshua said:

“If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.” — Matthew 19:17

“Not everyone who says ‘Master, Master’… but he who does the will of My Father…” — Matthew 7:21

“Whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments… will be least in the kingdom…” — Matthew 5:19

Paul says:

“By works of the law no one will be justified…” — Galatians 2:16

“Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law…” — Galatians 3:13

“If righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” — Galatians 2:21

🟥 Objection:

Yeshua taught obedience to the Father’s commandments; 

Paul taught that law-keeping cannot save — and even portrays it as spiritually dangerous. The tone and theology are very different.

Final Summary:

Paul can be viewed as:

• A crafty and self-declared apostle who claimed direct revelation but taught contrary to Torah
• A man who compromised Torah obedience to gain Gentile converts and curry favor with the Roman world
• Someone who preached a different message— one of personal liberty over covenant obedience
• A central figure whose influence led to the eventual split between Christianity and Torah

Historically, this view is not new:

The Ebionites and Nazarenes (early Judaean followers of Yeshua) rejected Paul as a false apostle.

As we have seen from so many examples in Paul’s letters. There was a clear agenda to overthrow the ancient paths of Torah in the minds and hearts of the people in favor of a Greco-Roman world view that would be in harmony with Roman thought and ideals.

But what was Paul’s true motives for doing this? For a clear outline of who Paul was and what his motives were, see our teaching “Acts” Of Deception

The purpose of exposing Paul is because we were warned by Yeshua to be aware of the leavening of the Pharisees. They, like Paul, were also blending their teachings with practices and philosophies of the Greco-Roman world. Paul was indeed an infiltrator and one that taught rebellion against the commandments. We were warned about such false prophets and teachers in Deuteronomy 13.

"If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, And the sign or wonder comes to pass, and he spoke to you, saying, Let us go after other gods, which you have not known, and let us serve them; You shalt not listen to the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for YHVH your El is testing you, to know whether you love YHVH with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after YHVH, and fear Him, and keep His commandments, and obey His voice, and you shall serve Him, and cleave to Him." Deuteronomy 13:1-4

But the purpose of Yeshua is clear and necessary. And the prophets are far from silent about the prophecies and purpose of Yeshua.

The Messenger Of The Covenant

We need only to read the law and the prophets to find out the will of the Father in heaven. We are told about the messenger of the covenant and what He will do. Malachi 3:1-6

"I will send my Messenger, and He shall prepare the way before me: and your Master, who you are looking for, shall suddenly come to his temple, which is the Messenger of the covenant, whom you delight in:

Yeshua is the Messenger of the covenant that was prophesied. But was Yeshua just a messenger or prophet? See our teaching The Bite of the Serpent and the Blood of the Lamb

This same messenger tells us plainly in Matthew 5 that until all things that are written in the law and prophets have been fulfilled—which includes the removal of the heavens and the earth after His thousand year reign on this earth—He said that nothing in the Torah shall be changed or altered. To get a better understanding about who Messiah really was, and his mission, see our teaching The Purpose Of Messiah.

"Do not think that I have come to destroy the Torah, or the prophets: I have not come to destroy, but to fulfill (to bring it to fruition). For Surely I tell you, until heaven and earth pass, not one dot or one line shall under any circumstance be removed from the Torah, until all shall be fulfilled. Therefore who ever shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach others to do the same, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but who ever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That unless you are more righteousness than the scribes and Pharisees, under no circumstance shall you enter into the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:17-20

We are given a prophetic warning about Yeshuas return:

“He shall come, says YHVH the Almighty. But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appears? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap: And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto YHVH an offering in righteousness.” Malachi 3:1-3

We are also given a warning from this Messenger of the covenant and what He will do; He will separate the sheep from the goats and the lawless and oppressors will not escape.

"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats:” Matthew 25:31-32

Daniel is shown a prophetic picture of Yeshua’s second coming. He reveals the same picture we are shown in Revelation that the books of each persons life will be opened and they will give an account for the choices they have made.

"A stream of fire rushed forth before him: thousands upon thousands ministered to him, and ten thousands of myriads, attended upon him: the judgment sat, and the books were opened." Daniel 7:10

Yeshua also gives this warning about those that call themselves His servants but don’t do what He has commanded:

"But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My master has delayed his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The master of that servant shall come in a day when he is not looking for him, and in a time he is not aware of, And shall cut him in two, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth." Matthew 24:48-51

Malachi 3 continues and makes it clear what the Messenger of the covenant will judge:

“I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, and those that have oppressed the widow, and the orphan, and that have turned aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, says YHVH the Almighty. For I AM YHVH, I DO NOT CHANGE" Malachi 3:5-6

As we approach the time of harvest, when the Messenger of the covenant shall return, the breath of YHVH is blowing upon the dry bones of Israel, and He is writing the Torah upon the tables of their heart just as Jeremiah 31 prophesied of the new covenant. And as the wheat are maturing, the bitter and poisonous fruit of the lawless doctrines of the church are being exposed for the lies they are.

Let us remember what took place when Moses returned after forty days from Mt. Sinai after being instructed in the Torah.

In Exodus 32 Aaron and the appointed religious leaders engaged in idolatry. All of the people turned aside from the covenant to a false religion in the name of YHVH, and worshiped a false god of their own making. As a final warning from the last prophet in the Tenakh:

"Behold, the day is coming, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that comes shall burn them up, says YHVH the Most High, it shall leave them neither root or branch.

But unto you that fear my name shall the righteous One arise with healing in his wings; and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Almighty.

Remember the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments." Malachi 4:1-4  LXXe

As we see there has been a deliberate agenda to deceive the people. But the answer as to why this was done may be even more revealing. See our teachings on The Kingdom Of YHVH, the Beast, and the Final Conflict and “Acts” Of Deception.

We have two paths that lie before us. The way of the Master along the narrow path that leads to life; or the doctrines and teachings of the Pharisees along the broad path that leads to destruction.

“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other…” Matthew 6:24

"Then shall the kingdom of heaven be like ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 

They that were foolish took their lamps, but took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 

And at midnight there was a shout, Behold, the bridegroom has come; go out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 

And the foolish said to the wise, Give us some oil; our lamps have gone out. But the wise answered and said, I cannot; unless there will be not enough for us and you: but instead go to those that sell, and buy for yourselves. 

And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 

Afterward came the foolish virgins, saying, Master, Master, open the door to us. But he responded saying, Surely I confess, I don’t know you. 

Watch therefore, for you don’t know the day or the hour when the Son of man will return." Matthew 25:1-13

The foolish virgins are the lukewarm that believe the religious antinomian lies that have been taught such as an easy believism faith in Yeshua as the way to salvation—and they have believed many other religious lies such as the rapture doctrine. When things begin to happen and there is no rapture they will begin to become afraid and seek for the answers as to what is happening.

But these foolish were never willing to seek the truth in the time when the spirit was poured out and the revelations were being given. This is because they loved their life and took pleasure in the cares of the world and the comfortable passive lies of religion. In that time they will seek for the truth but will not understand it because they had no foundation in it.

The wise however, did not sell out to the religious lies, and because they trusted in the word of YHVH alone for instruction; they were given understanding and made the preparations and were lead to places of safety before the storms came.

The foolish virgins that are yoked with religion will go to the hirelings that are selling the lies to the masses and they will believe it—and eventually this will lead to taking the mark of the beast.

When Yeshua comes He will send fourth His angels to gather the righteous out from among the wicked. The door being shut in the parable is representative of the mark of the righteous and their redemption that will take place before the judgments are poured out.

Just as Revelation says, let he that is righteous remain righteous and let he that is lawless remain lawless. Because in the time of judgment there will be no time left for repentance. The question will not be why the foolish weren’t invited in, but it will be as though they will be seen as strangers and imposters. This is why the bride groom will say, “depart from me I don’t know you lawless people.” Compare this warning with another warning Yeshua gave to the lukewarm that profess Him but don’t obey.

"Many will say to me in that day, Master, Master, have we not prophesied in your name and in your name have cast out demons? and in your name we have done many miracles? And then will I tell them plainly, I never knew you: depart from me, you lawless people." Matthew 7:22-23:

Chapter 1: The Statue Of A Man: The Kingdoms Of This World

Revelation tells us of a final world Empire that will rule completely over all of the earth. How will we recognize it when it comes? We are warned many times to not be deceived by the final Kingdom of the beast. It not only will bring great deception; but will require the worlds allegiance that carries eternal consequences.

What the prophets saw thousands of years ago — the dream of Nebuchadnezzar that Daniel interpreted, the vision that John recorded in the Revelation — is not a past event, metaphor, or something that takes place in the distant future. It is unfolding now, and its roots run deep in the history of the nations that have ruled over the people of YHVH.

The final beast is not a sudden dictator or a random rebellion. It is the culmination of a long, calculated, spiritual war — one that began in Babylon and continues through every empire that followed. It is a system, not just a man. A spiritual counterfeit of the Kingdom of YHVH — global, religious, economic, and political — preparing to bring the world into submission under one final authority before judgment falls.

“And these great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth… But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever.” Daniel 7:17–18

Give Us A King To Reign Over Us

Many have wondered why evil is permitted. And how it is that a loving Creator who gave His Son for a ransom for our souls, can allow this evil to continue. His holy Word gives us the answer to this question. Just as it was for Adam and Eve, the answer is about choice and consequence.

"They have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them." 1 Samuel 8:7

When Israel demanded a king, they were not just asking for leadership—they were rejecting the Kingship of YHVH. This was the root sin. In choosing to be “like all the nations,” Israel turned away from their covenant identity and opened the door to centuries of oppression. YHVH warned them through the prophet Samuel: their kings would enslave them, tax them, and take their sons and daughters. But they would not listen. The people chose man over YHVH—and from that moment, a pattern was set in motion.

This choice led directly to the rise of the empires shown in Daniel 2 and Daniel 7. Nebuchadnezzar’s statue—gold, silver, bronze, and iron—reveals a succession of kingdoms, each built on the foundation of the last. From Babylon to the final kingdom: these oppressive empires have been allowed by Heaven, not because YHVH approved of them, but because they were necessary to test the hearts of men.

In Daniel 7, these kingdoms appear as beasts—wild, ravenous, blasphemous. These are not just political empires; they are spiritual systems rooted in rebellion.

But why did YHVH allow it? Why not stop the kingdoms of men before they could rise?

Because this is the furnace of testing. Just as Adam and Eve were placed in the Garden and given a choice—obey the voice of YHVH or believe the lie—so too are we. The kingdoms of men and the doctrines of religion are the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, attractive but deadly. The commandments of YHVH are the Tree of Life—pure, righteous, eternal.

This long history of oppression are not random events neither do they have power of their own accord. Just as Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon was shown.

"…that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever He will, and sets up over it the basest of men." Daniel 4:17

It is permitted—to prove what is in the hearts of men. Will we serve the beast, or will we cry out for the King who comes in the name of YHVH?

And that cry will come. For as the blasphemy of the final beast reaches its peak, and the world is pressed in the valley of decision, the elect will cry out. “Blessed is He who comes in the Name of YHVH!” (Matthew 23:39). This cry will not be ignored.

Then, as Daniel saw, the stone cut without hands will strike the image in the days of the final kingdom. The whole image—the entire system of man’s rule—will be crushed and scattered like chaff to the wind.

And the stone will become a great mountain. Not a nation. Not a church. But a Kingdom that will fill the whole earth. This is the Kingdom Yeshua taught us to pray for:

“Thy Kingdom come, they will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10

This Kingdom is not coming to share space with the kingdoms of men. It is coming to replace them.

• The kingdoms of this world are temporary.
• The oppression is permitted, but it will not last.
• YHVH has appointed a day when He will judge all nations.
• And the choice remains, just as in Eden: Whom will you serve?

From Babylon to the Beast

The prophet Daniel was shown a sequence of world powers that would rise and fall — each one given dominion over the earth, each one ruling over the chosen people of YHVH. These were not random kingdoms. They were a line of spiritual rebellion, beginning with Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylon, and leading to a final kingdom that would be unlike all the rest.

In Daniel 2, these kingdoms are shown as a statue made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, and finally iron mixed with clay. From man’s point of view, it looks glorious. But in Daniel 7, YHVH reveals the truth: these kingdoms are beasts — devouring, corrupt, and violent.

• The lion with eagle’s wings: Babylon.
• The bear raised up on one side: Medo-Persia.
• The leopard with four wings and four heads: Greco-Rome.
• The dreadful, terrible beast with ten horns: the final world power.

John sees the same system in Revelation 13 — but by then, the beast has taken its final form:

“And I saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns... and the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion…”Revelation 13:1–2

It is not a new empire. It is the fusion of all the previous ones. Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome are all in it. But this final system is stronger, darker, and more controlling than anything before. It will crush, trample, and break the whole earth — and it will wage war against the saints.

The Final Kingdom Will Be Global

Daniel’s vision makes one thing clear: the final beast will not just rule over one region. It will devour the whole earth.

“The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.” Daniel 7:23

Unlike the empires that came before — Babylon, Persia, Greece, even Rome — this system will demand total submission. It will not allow nations to rule themselves. It will break down borders, remove national identities, and enforce one religious, economic, and legal structure over all people.

This is not a political alliance. This is satanic control.

And out of this beast system will come the final ruler — the eighth king, the one the world will embrace as a savior, but who will speak against the Most High.

The Beast Will Appear Righteous

The most dangerous thing about the beast is not just its power — it’s the deceptive appearance of peace and justice.

This system will not rise under a banner of war, at least not at first. It will rise under the promise of unity. It will offer peace between religions. It will claim to restore order to a chaotic world. It will speak the language of morality, of Abraham, of justice.

But it will be a lie.

“By peace he shall destroy many…” Daniel 8:25

It will appear as a light, but it is a counterfeit kingdom. A false Zion. A mockery of the reign of Messiah. And those who follow it will persecute the remnant — those who keep the commandments of YHVH and the faith of Yeshua.

The Warning to the Elect

This book is not written to the world. It is written to the elect. The beast system will deceive many — but it must not deceive the true righteous and faithful remnant.

It is important to understand what is happening — and what is coming next. That is why we must go now to the opening of the seals in Revelation, to see how the final empire begins its rise and prepares the world for false unity and global control.

Chapter 2: The Seals Unloosed

The seals of Revelation are the opening acts in the divine judgment, setting the stage for the unfolding of YHVH’s plan for the final days. Each seal represents a critical stage in the rise of the beast system and the world’s descent into deception and calamity.

The First Seal: A Warrior Rising in Righteousness

“And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.” Revelation 6:2

The rider on the white horse is not the true Messiah, but a militant leader — a warrior coming with a perception of righteousness to conquer the corrupt systems. The bow he carries is a weapon of battle, symbolic of war and judgment. The crown signifies the authority that is given to him to bring about conquest. This rider will be seen as a figure of justice, but his war will not be one of peace or mercy. Instead, it will prepare the world for the rise of the final beast power, using religious and political justification to forge ahead with global dominance.

I would like to point out that many modern interpretations view the lack of the mention of arrows from the first seal symbolized as a rider on the white horse— is believed to be a bloodless conquest. But we have only to look to the prophetic language of scripture regarding the battle bow to learn that it actually signifies war and conquest. This conquerer does not come in terms of peace, but to establish control in the name of divine authority.

The Second Seal: War

“And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.”Revelation 6:4

The rider on the red horse is given the power to take peace from the earth, leading to bloodshed. The great sword symbolizes bloodshed across nations.

The red horse represents war, and the consequences of the first rider’s actions will be felt worldwide. This war will lead to further manipulation, as the beast system will use the destruction of conflict to seize power and impose its global order.

The Third Seal: Economic Collapse and Famine

“And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. … A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine." Revelation 6:5-6

The black horse symbolizes economic turmoil and famine. The rider carries a pair of balances, an instrument that measures the price of goods. This doesn’t just indicate scarcity and the rising cost of basic necessities like wheat and barley. But it is a powerful scriptural connection found in 2 Kings 6:24–33 — it describes the siege of Samaria by Ben-Hadad, king of Syria. The famine became so extreme that people were resorting to cannibalism.

The prophet Elisha prophesies deliverance:

"Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria." 2 Kings 7:1

2 Kings 7:2–20 — Details the miraculous fulfillment of this prophecy. Four lepers discover the Syrian army has fled, leaving behind supplies, and the famine ends as prophesied.

This account powerfully shows that YHVH can overturn desperation in a single moment, fulfilling His word through the mouth of His prophets—even when the situation looks impossible.

People will suffer from economic collapse, and food will become scarce, triggering widespread famine. The world’s financial systems will be in turmoil, national trade may very well cease for a time because of the wars leading to hunger, poverty, and chaos.

It is important to understand the connection of the oil and the wine.

Exodus 27:20 – Israel was to bring pure olive oil beaten for the light, to keep the lamp (menorah) burning continually. We are also shown this oil in Zechariah 4 with the two olive trees that pour into the menorah, which we understand from Revelation 11, are representative of His witnesses that carry the true message of Yeshua as testified in the law and the prophets.

The new wine are they that understand the true message of the Kingdom as was taught by Yeshua to His disciples that lead to righteousness and a restored covenant.

They that are anointed by the oil and the pure wine will have provision in the time of want.

“The Lord knoweth the days of the righteous: and their inheritance shall be for ever. They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.” Psalm 37:18–19

The Fourth Seal: Death and Destruction

“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him.” Revelation 6:8

The pale horse represents the culmination of the chaos unleashed by the first three seals: death and destruction on an unimaginable scale. A quarter of the earth will be affected by death caused by famine, pestilence, war, and wild beasts. Millions, even billions, will perish. War, violence, starvation, and natural disasters will ravage the earth, leading to massive loss of life.

Throughout the writings of the prophets, YHVH makes it clear that He executes judgment on the wicked through His appointed agents—forces that serve as His sword upon the wicked. These are not random events, but instruments of divine justice sent to purge, refine, or destroy according to His righteous decree.

In Ezekiel 14:21, YHVH identifies these four judgments plainly:

“For thus saith the Lord YHVH; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?”

These four are consistent themes of judgment seen throughout the prophetic scriptures:

1. The Sword – representing war and violent conquest.

2. Famine – the collapse of sustenance and supply.

3. Pestilence – disease and death sweeping through populations.

4. Beasts – representing chaos, destruction, and often, invading forces likened to predatory creatures or wild nations.

These four judgments are mirrored again in Zechariah 6:1–8, where the prophet sees four chariots coming out from between two mountains of bronze—an image of strength and judgment:

“The first chariot had red horses; the second chariot black horses; the third chariot white horses; and the fourth chariot grizzled and bay horses… These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Elohim of all the earth.”

Each chariot corresponds to a divine commission across the earth. These “spirits of the heavens” are not passive forces; they are dispatched with purpose—to bring balance, to judge, and to enact the will of YHVH upon nations.

The colors of the horses are not arbitrary. They align with both Zechariah’s vision and the first four seals of Revelation 6, known as the Four Horsemen:

• White – conquest, a perceived righteousness, often deceptive in nature.

• Red – war and bloodshed.

• Black – famine and economic collapse.

• Pale (Chloros/Green) – death, pestilence, and the grave.

These agents are YHVH’s instruments—not to be confused with satanic chaos, but as righteous judgments upon unrepentant peoples and nations. In both Old and New Testament prophecy, they are sent forth as executors of His decrees.

As stated in Jeremiah 15:2–3:

“And it shall come to pass, if they say unto thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith YHVH; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity. And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith YHVH: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.”

These four are not only tools of wrath, but signs of a collapsing order brought on by rebellion and idolatry. Whether in Ezekiel’s vision over Jerusalem, Zechariah’s chariots against Babylon, or Revelation’s horsemen unleashed in the last days, they signify that the time of warning has passed, and judgment has begun.

We are given a very important clue about who brings this sword. It is not by coincidence that all of the colors of the four horsemen are also the only colors found on the banners or flags of Islamic countries.

The Fifth Seal: The Martyrs and Persecution

“And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.” Revelation 6:9

The fifth seal reveals the martyrs — those who have been killed for their faith in Yeshua and their adherence to the commandments of YHVH. These martyrs are not just victims of political regimes; they are witnesses to the truth, standing firm against the falsehoods of the beast system. They have refused to take the mark, and they have refused to bow to the false messiah.

The martyrdom of the faithful will be one of the defining characteristics of this period. The beast system will seek to wipe out those who oppose it, particularly those who hold to the true testimony of Yeshua and the commandments of YHVH. This persecution will not be isolated; it will be global, affecting all who stand firm in the faith.

The martyrs cry out for justice, and their blood serves as a testimony to the faithful who will come after them. Their death will not be in vain, for YHVH will avenge them in His perfect timing.

The Sixth Seal: Cosmic and Global Cataclysm

“And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake… and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth…”Revelation 6:12–14

As the previous seals have unveiled destruction on earth, the sixth seal introduces cosmic and global cataclysm. The natural world will be shaken — earthquakes in many places, and meteor showers will strike the earth, causing fear and terror on a massive scale. The sky will be darkened, and the powers of heaven will be shaken.

This cosmic upheaval will be a sign of divine judgment, a signal that the wrath of YHVH is at hand. The earth will not remain in its present order, and all the kingdoms of men will fall under divine scrutiny. People will seek to hide, but there will be nowhere to run.

The Seventh Seal: Silence Before the Storm

“And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour.” Revelation 8:1

The seventh seal marks the final stage before YHVH’s wrath is fully unleashed. There is a moment of silence — a pause in heaven, a moment of stillness before the final judgment. The silence is profound, signifying the seriousness of what is about to unfold. The world is on the verge of entering into the final period of judgment, when the righteous will be gathered and the trumpet judgments will begin.

The silence is not peace; it is the calm before the storm. The heavens are preparing to release YHVH’s judgment on the earth in the form of the seven trumpets, and all creation waits for the final moment of reckoning.

Chapter 3: The Seven Heads Of The Beast Out Of The Sea

The beast that rises out of the sea in Revelation 13 is not a new entity, but the culmination of a long-standing system of power. It is described as having seven heads and ten horns — a terrifying image that links directly to the visions of the prophet Daniel and the long history of empires that have ruled over the people of YHVH.

“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.” Revelation 13:1

This beast is a spiritual composite — made of the lion, bear, and leopard from Daniel 7 — but it also carries a clear historical trail of dominion. Each head represents a kingdom that ruled over the children of Jacob, Israel. This is the continuity of control — the same unclean spirit that began in Babylon continuing through different empires, changing masks, but always opposing the covenant people of YHVH.

The Seven Heads of the Beast

Revelation 17 gives us a key to understand the seven heads:

“And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seventh, and goeth into perdition.”Revelation 17:10–11

Let’s break it down.

1. First Head — Babylon

The empire of Nebuchadnezzar. The beginning of gentile dominion over Israel. Babylon destroyed the temple and took Judah captive. This is the head of gold from Daniel 2 and the lion in Daniel 7.

2. Second Head — Medo-Persia

The silver chest and arms. The bear of Daniel 7. Persia allowed the southern Kingdom of Judah to return, but still maintained control over them. The second phase of domination.

3. Third And Fourth Head — Greece

The bronze belly. The leopard with four heads and four wings. After Alexander’s death, the empire was split between the Ptolemaic and Seleucid empires. Representing the two thighs of brass

4. Fifth Head — The Eastern Emperial Roman Empire represented as one of the two legs of iron.

The reason this mighty empire was placed under the Greco empire is their continued adaptation of all things Greek from their poetry to their customs and religion it was indeed the Greco Roman Kingdom that took dominion over much of the world. These heads continued to shape the world Israel lived under, particularly through Roman adaptation of Greek culture.

5. Sixth Head —The Papacy Of Rome In The West

The other leg of Iron. The one that “is” in Revelation after the five other heads had fallen— and is ruling the nations at the time just before the rising of the final kingdom. The seventh head of the beast in Revelation.

6. Seventh Head — The Final World Power

This head is said to continue for “a short space.” It will not merely be another empire; it will be different — a worldwide system that tramples all nations. We are told something very important about this final head with ten horns. This is the feet of iron mingled with the ten toes of clay in Daniel’s statue. We will cover this aspect in depth a little later.

7. Eighth — The Antichrist

The final ruler will rise from the seventh head system. He is “of the seventh,” meaning he rises out of it, but becomes something unique — the full embodiment of rebellion. He rises with the authority of a world leader or King and demands worship, speaking great things against YHVH and His people.

The Hidden Continuity of Control

Each of these empires appears to fall, but behind them is a spiritual continuity — the same powers working behind the scenes. The names change. The borders shift. But the goal remains: to dominate the descendants of Jacob and keep them from returning to YHVH through the truth of Yeshua and obedience to His covenant.

This continuity is why we see the beast with characteristics of all the previous empires. It is Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome — combined and resurrected into a final global power that spans continents and faiths, deceiving even the elect if possible.

The woman that rides this beast is what the dragon has used to rule over the nations.

For a spiritual lens of this woman see our teaching “Mystery Babylon Revealed”

The Warning to the Faithful

You must not be deceived. The world will see this final system as progress — as unity, tolerance, and peace. But it is a beast in disguise. It is born out of rebellion, and it will lead to the destruction of all who follow it.

The elect must be wise. They must see beyond the masks. They must recognize the seven heads and prepare for the unveiling of the eighth — the one who will demand worship, enforce control, and seek to destroy the remnant.

Chapter 4: The Ten Horns and the Rise of the Caliphate

The beast that rises from the sea in Revelation 13 does not rise by himself. He is empowered by ten kings or ten ruling nations who willingly give their strength and authority to his cause. These are not random geopolitical players. They are bound by conviction, by prophecy, and by what they believe is a divine mission. They are the enforcers of a revived Islamic Caliphate.

“And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.” Revelation 17:12–13

The Ten Horns Are the Islamic Caliphate

These ten horns represent ten rulers or regions unified under the leadership of the Mahdi — a messianic figure long anticipated in Islamic prophecy. When he arises, they will believe he is sent by God to fulfill divine justice and restore global order through Sharia law. Their unity is not forged by treaties or politics. It is forged in belief. They will rise to power willingly, not through coercion, but out of religious conviction. They will see their mission as holy — a divine call to bring the world under Islamic law and to cleanse it of corruption and idolatry.

This is what makes them different from all other world empires. They are not being used unwillingly. They are deceived into believing they are doing the will of God. And so, as Revelation 17:17 says, “God has put it in their hearts to fulfill His purpose.” Their zeal will be used by YHVH to bring judgment, especially upon a false, apostate religious system that has misrepresented Him to the world.

Clay Among the Metals

In Daniel 2, the final kingdom is seen as a mixture of iron and clay. The ten toes of the statue represent the same powers as the ten horns. Many assume this mixture represents political weakness or instability. But there is more to the symbolism.

Clay cannot be melted or fused with metal. Gold, silver, bronze, and iron can be forged together — empires built on conquest, commerce, and assimilation. But clay is different. It holds to its own shape and purpose. It resists being part of imperial machinery. This is a picture of Islamic resistance to global imperialism throughout history. For centuries, many Muslim populations have resisted Western influence, financial control, and moral decay. Clay cannot be integrated into the metal system — not until it is deceived.

Under the leadership of the Mahdi, this resistance will be transformed. The religious convictions of millions of Muslims will be redirected to serve the beast system. Through deception, they will become the righteous sword of the final empire, believing they are fulfilling prophecy and establishing justice. But in reality, they will be fulfilling YHVH’s judgment on a world that has defiled His name — particularly those who claimed to represent Him while living in hypocrisy and rebellion.

Judgment Must Begin at the House of YHVH

“For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of YHVH...” 1 Peter 4:17

YHVH will allow this Caliphate to rise not only to fulfill prophecy, but to bring judgment first upon those who have misrepresented Him. The apostate church systems, corrupted by politics, greed, and idolatry, will be the first targets. They have aligned with worldly power, abandoned the commandments, and turned the image of Messiah into something foreign to the truth. Their judgment is righteous. Because of national pride, wickedness and a refusal for repentance, Babylon must fall.

They Will Hate the Harlot

“And the ten horns... shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.”Revelation 17:16

These ten kings will ultimately turn on the system that helped elevate them — the whore, Mystery Babylon, the corrupted religious-political order. Once they have used her influence to gain power, they will destroy her completely. What begins as alliance ends in betrayal. Their mission will seem to purify the earth of idolatry and corruption — but in reality, it sets the stage for the greatest deception of all.

The Warning to the Elect

The rise of the ten horns will appear righteous to many. They will speak of justice, morality, and divine rule. But those who know the truth will see the signs. These kings do not serve YHVH. They serve the beast, whether knowingly or unknowingly. Their unity is not in the Spirit of Truth, but in the spirit of strong delusion.

Do not be deceived. The sword of the caliphate will bring temporary judgment on a corrupt world, but it will not establish the kingdom of YHVH. It will pave the way for the Antichrist and the false prophet. The faithful must endure and remain loyal to Yeshua, who alone is the true King of kings.

Chapter 5: The False Prophet and the Image of the Beast

The final deception of this last kingdom is not merely political or military — it is spiritual. We are told of a deceptive figure who will arise in scripture referred to as the false prophet, a religious figure who arises to give spiritual legitimacy to the beast and lead the world into worship of its image.

“And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.”Revelation 13:11–12

This second beast — the false prophet — appears like a lamb. He looks righteous, peaceful, and even Christ-like. But he speaks as a dragon. Like the serpent in the garden, the poison is in the lying words that are veiled as wise and appealing to the undiscerning. His words carry deception, false doctrine, and ultimate allegiance to satan. He is the mouthpiece of the beast.

A False Jesus Figure

The imagery of the lamb is unmistakable. The Lamb of YHVH— Yeshua — is the true Messiah. But this beast imitates that image. He appears to be a messianic figure, one who preaches peace, unity, and righteousness. Yet he is a counterfeit.

In Islamic eschatology, there is an expectation that Isa (Jesus) will return — not as the Son of YHVH, but as a prophet who confirms the message of Muhammad and fights against those who deify him. According to those prophecies, Isa will break the crosses, and lead the faithful in following their proclaimed king and world leader—the Mahdi.

This interpretation aligns with the false prophet of Revelation, then we are looking at a scenario where a Jesus-like figure arises not to confirm the Gospel, but to deny its central truth — the divinity and redemptive work of Yeshua. He will perform signs and wonders. He will seem divine. And he will point the world to the beast, urging worship and obedience. Similarly, Judaism also are awaiting a Messianic figure who will lead them and abolish idolatry, which would include the deification of Jesus.

Signs, Wonders, and Global Deception

“And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles…” Revelation 13:13–14

This false prophet will not rely on political rhetoric alone. He will perform miraculous signs — calling fire from heaven, doing things that seem to validate divine authority. This will seal the deception for many. They will believe this is the return of Christ, or the fulfillment of religious prophecy. But it will be a lie. His mission is to glorify the beast, not the true Elohim.

We are told that this world leader will be stuck with a deadly wound and after being revived. Will draw the nations to look to him as a fulfillment of prophecy.

There is an important scene described in Revelation 13 — one that reveals not just political power, but a spiritual counterfeit that mirrors the very heart of the gospel.

“And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.” Revelation 13:3

This is not merely a political assassination attempt or military recovery. It is a counterfeit resurrection. The Beast appears to rise from death, and the world responds with awe and worship.

This is no coincidence. It is an intentional inversion. A demonic mimicry of the true Messiah. This world leader will be expected to fulfill prophecy across, Islam, Judaism and Christianity, all of which have their foundational roots in the law and prophets. Consider prophecies such as what is found in Zechariah:

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem…They will look upon Me whom they have pierced, and they will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only son.” Zechariah 12:9-10

Zechariah 12 talks about there being a war in Jerusalem and then a great mourning after this one that was prophecied is pierced.

The true meaning of these verses points to Yeshua, rejected by His own and crucified. But in the final deception, the Beast may claim this identity. And the False Prophet — as this Jesus figure — will confirm it.

The world will believe prophecy is being fulfilled. But it will be a lie. A strong delusion. And many will follow the Beast thinking he is the long-awaited one.

“And all who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8

Much like Aaron led the children of Israel to worship a golden calf in the wilderness, so too will this false prophet lead the world to create and worship an image — a literal representation of the world ruler — Eventually as it was decreed with Nebuchadnezzars image in ancient Babylon, the refusal to worship this image will be death.

The Image and the Mark

“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image… should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship… should be killed.” Revelation 13:15

Matthew 24:15 tells us where this image will be placed.

"When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place…" Matthew 24:15

The beast is not just followed politically, he is worshipped religiously. This is the final abomination. Just as Antiochus Epiphanes set up an idol in the temple, and just as Roman emperors demanded worship, this system will require loyalty through worship.

The false prophet will enforce this worship. And with this allegiance will come the mark of the beast — a physical and spiritual sign of allegiance.

The False Prophet’s Role in Unifying Religion

This false prophet is not only a deceiver — he is a bridge-builder. His purpose is to merge the religions of Abraham under a common banner. He redefines Jesus as a mere prophet. He strips away the sacrifice. He declares the Torah fulfilled, the Gospel misinterpreted, and the Qur’an confirmed. In this false unity, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are made to submit to a single ruler and a single law. But the cost is truth.

“And through peace he shall destroy many.” Daniel 8:25

Peace will be the banner. Unity will be the language. But underneath is a spiritual sword, aimed at the remnant who keep the commandments of YHVH and the testimony of Yeshua.

Chapter 6: The Mark, the Name, and the Number of the Beast

As the beast system solidifies its power, a final line is drawn in human history: a mark, a name, and a number. These are not arbitrary symbols. They are signs of ownership, allegiance, and identity — separating those who belong to the beast from those who remain faithful to YHVH.

The Mark: A Physical and Spiritual Seal

The mark is not merely symbolic — it is enforced. It is placed in the right hand and in the forehead, the very places associated with action and thought. This recalls the Torah command to bind YHVH’s Word on the hand and forehead — a sign of devotion and obedience (Deuteronomy 6:8). In contrast, the mark of the beast is a counterfeit seal, identifying those who have submitted to his rule.

This mark grants access to commerce — the ability to buy and sell. Without it, one is economically cut off. This is not just a financial system; it is a worship system. To receive the mark is to choose loyalty to the beast over YHVH.

The Two-Fold Nature of the Mark: Right Hand and Forehead

The mark will not be merely symbolic or metaphorical. Revelation clearly states that it will be in the right hand and in the forehead. This is not redundancy, but two interconnected elements serving distinct functions within the final system.

The mark in the right hand will likely be a digital tattoo or biometric pattern, granting access to the new global economy. Have you ever considered the growing trend in tattoos among men and women? This digital mark will be directly tied to the ability to function in commerce, and it will be the external identifier. It will be embedded in a digital network — part of the system that will monitor all transactions and through social credit scoring will enforce loyalty to the beast system.

The mark in the forehead however, may not be visible to the eye but will be necessary to link to ASI—Artificial Super Intelligence. We can understand from the merging technologies the most likely path this mark will lead to will be a neural interface, such as a brain chip implant linking the individual directly to AGI. This implant will connect the person’s mind to a collective digital consciousness — a hive mind that serves to control thoughts, ideologies, and desires. To many this implant will be greatly desired to make one wise, giving them direct access to culminated knowledge. However, like the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden, this “forbidden fruit” will not just enhance the individual’s mental faculties but will remove their free will, making them spiritually and mentally enslaved.

Together, these two marks will form the totality of the beast’s control: external power through commerce and internal power through consciousness. This will not be presented to mankind as a system of control, but as a technological evolution, a new phase of human progress — promising security, unity, prosperity, and even a form of immortality. But beneath this promise will lie a grave deception: the erasure of identity and the submission of all who accept it.

The Name Of The Beast And The Number Of His Name:

Solomon, a foreshadow of the antichrist figure that is described in Revelation. There is a curious and often overlooked verse buried in the reign of King Solomon — a man known for his wisdom, peace, and the splendor of YHVH’s temple:

“Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred threescore and six talents of gold.” 1 Kings 10:14

Six hundred sixty-six.

It is the only place in the Tanakh where this specific number is named. And it isn’t random. This was the measure of his wealth — but also the beginning of his slow fall into idolatry, alliances with foreign nations, and spiritual compromise which lead to the power of the kingdom of Israel to become fragmented and eventually broken. In the very next chapter, we read:

“For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods... and Solomon did evil in the sight of YHVH” 1 Kings 11:4,6

Solomon, the son of David, builder of the Temple, became the first great example of a ruler whose spiritual authority was corrupted by wealth and syncretism.

Now compare this with the Beast of Revelation:

“...the number of the beast... is the number of a man, and his number is Six hundred threescore and six. Revelation 13:18

This is not coincidence. This is a pattern. This is prophecy echoing through history.

In Chaldean numerology — the system that traces back to ancient Babylon — the name Solomon breaks down numerically as follows:

* S = 3

* O = 7

* L = 3

* O = 7

* M = 4

* O = 7

* N = 5

Total = **36**

Now consider: the sum of the numbers 1 through 36 equals 666. This number was known in ancient systems as the “solar number” — linked to sun worship and hidden wisdom, revered in pagan traditions from Egypt to Rome.

Even the components of his name echo this hidden message:

• Sol — Latin for sun

• Om — the sacred syllable of creation in Hindu mysticism, the sun, the bringer of life

• On — the Egyptian god and city of sun worship (Heliopolis), center of the cult of Ra

While Solomon was not the Antichrist, neither is there any certainty the name of the antichrist will be Solomon, his life serves as a type, a shadow — a wise king whose downfall came through spiritual compromise and unholy union with the nations. He began as a righteous son of David and through his spiritual and physical fornication, ended with a divided and broken kingdom.

So too will the Beast rise — appearing as a savior, a man of power and enlightenment — and the world will follow him in awe.

“...and all the world wondered after the beast.” Revelation 13:3

Just as the Queen of Sheba once came to marvel at Solomon’s glory, the nations will come to marvel at the false king’s rise. But the throne of the Beast is not the throne of YHVH. His temple will not be filled with glory, but with deception.

The wise must discern not just numbers — but patterns. Not just prophecy — but the counterfeit spirit that works subtly in history, always imitating the things of YHVH to seduce the nations away from the truth.

The Number of a Man: 666 and the Seal of Solomon

The number 666 is tied to the Seal of Solomon, a symbol often misunderstood. Known as the hexagram or “star of David”. This symbol can be broken down into:

• 6 points,

• 6 pyramid shaped triangles,

• 6-sided central hexagon.

Together, they form a 6–6–6 pattern, which is not coincidental but is a deeply symbolic connection to the number of the beast.

Six also can be compared with the number of man, for man was created on the sixth day. It may also be important to point out that in occult belief systems, the repetition of three is believed to be binding and to:

• Amplify spiritual power

• Seal or complete the ritual

• Manifest the desired outcome into the physical or spiritual realm

This is known as a principle of ritual reinforcement, and it’s rooted in the idea that repeating something three times “charges” it with energy or makes it spiritually binding.

The hexagram has long been a symbol of occultism going back to ancient Babylon. It is an ancient symbol of the solar sun god. And in modern times, it has been adopted by secret societies, mystical traditions, and occult practitioners and the state of Israel. Some occultists, such as Aleister Crowley, understood 666 as the number of self-deification — the ultimate symbol of man as god, liberated from divine law. This idea will be fully realized in the final kingdom, where the beast system seeks not just political power but the total spiritual subjugation of humanity, replacing the worship of YHVH with the worship of man and his creations.

I believe the greater significance of 666 is found in transhumanism. When the coronavirus pandemic struck, the world entered a phase of rapid transformation — not just in health, but in identity, control, and technology. The virus was eventually named:

C O V I D – 1 9

Officially, we are told:

• C = Corona

• O = Virus

• V = Virus

• I = Infection

• D = Disease

• 19 = Year (2019)

But look closer.

Using Roman numerals and ASCII values:

• C = 100

• O = 79 (ASCII computing code for capital “O”)

• V = 5

• I = 1

• D = 500

Add them together:

100 + 79 + 5 + 1 + 500 = 685

Then subtract the 19 (from COVID-19):

685 – 19 = 666

Coincidence? You be the judge. But it’s a striking pattern in a time of great deception — a name that carries the shadow of the number of the Beast.

Synthetic Biology: The Rewriting of Flesh

COVID-19 brought more than a virus. It introduced, on a global scale, synthetic instructions in the form of mRNA injections — telling your cells to produce foreign proteins. This was not traditional medicine. It was information-based biology.

Some reported strange findings: Bluetooth signals appearing from individuals after injection. Unregistered, anonymous MAC addresses. A phenomenon some dismissed, but others confirmed through direct observation.

Could this be the early infrastructure of a system that connects biological flesh to digital networks?

What is being built when the body is injected with code, and then becomes traceable, programmable, and possibly modifiable?

We are approaching days where manking may no longer be fully human — but a hybrid, a product of biotech and code. And the world is being trained to accept it, even to desire it, in the name of safety, health, and progress.

A Technological Mark and a digital consciousness

A digital tattoo and a neural implant, transhuman components that may very well make up the spiritual bite of the forbidden fruit that will witness to mankinds allegiance to a manmade idol. A digital god that can both hear and speak and would have the ability to cause as many as will not worship the beast to be killed. This mark will not just be tools of commerce but instruments of control. When they are integrated into the global system, individuals will be completely dependent on this technology to engage with the world. But this system will go beyond mere technology — it will be a spiritual enslavement.

Once individuals receive the mark, they will become part of a global system of surveillance and control. The beast will have total authority over their actions, thoughts, and allegiances.

However, the consequences of receiving the mark will be eternal. The system will not allow people to escape their decision. Revelation 14:9–10 warns that those who take the mark will drink the wine of the wrath of YHVH, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation. The punishment will be severe, and those who accept the mark will face eternal separation from YHVH.

One of the most troubling aspects of receiving the mark is the spiritual torment that follows. Revelation 9:6 speaks of a time when men will seek death but will not find it:

"And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them." Revelation 9:6

This is not merely physical suffering; it is a spiritual torment. Those who have accepted the mark will experience an irreversible disconnect from YHVH’s mercy and grace. A type of possession where there is no escape. They will seek death as an escape, but their souls will be bound to the system, unable to die.

The beast system will hold them in its grip, and the pain of their choice will be eternal. The inability to die or find escape is a tragic consequence of choosing allegiance to the beast over the true Messiah.

Worship and the Mark Are Connected

It is critical to understand: the mark is not simply a stamp or chip — it is connected to worship. The decision to receive the mark is a spiritual transaction. It is a declaration of loyalty to the beast and the tree of knowledge, rejecting the tree of life which is found in Yeshua. “The way, the truth and the life.”

If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark... the same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of YHVH...Revelation 14:9–10

This mark will be the point of no return for many. But for the elect, the choice will be clear. They will stand firm in the truth, resisting the pressure to conform, even if it costs them their lives.

The Remnant Will Refuse

In every generation, YHVH preserves a remnant— a group who will remain faithful, who will not bow down to the idol of the beast, no matter what the cost. In the last days, this remnant will stand firm. They will refuse the mark, and they will endure.

"And I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Yeshua, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands..." Revelation 20:4

They will be sealed by YHVH, marked with His name on their foreheads for no man can serve two masters. (Revelation 7:3, 14:1), and they will overcome the temptation of the serpent.

The Warning to the Elect

Do not accept the mark, the name, or the number of the beast. No matter what form it takes. No matter what threat is made. No matter what comfort is offered.

This world is not our home. The kingdoms of men will fall. The beast will burn. But the Lamb will reign. And those who overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony will inherit a kingdom that will never pass away.

Chapter 7: Mystery Babylon and the Fall of the Harlot

Many have questioned just who — or where — is Mystery Babylon. But sometimes the hardest thing to see is what is closest. What is hidden in plain sight. Mystery Babylon is not some distant power yet to arise, nor an ancient kingdom buried in time. It is a system that already exists — influential, deceptive, and deeply embedded in the nations. She wears the garments of religion and morality, but her heart is filled with corruption, pride, and betrayal.

Revelation describes her:

"And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

This name reveals her nature. She is called a harlot, not because she is foreign to the things of YHVH, but because she once claimed covenant, and then betrayed it.

"…have you seen what backsliding Israel has done? she is gone upon every high mountain and under every green tree, and has played the harlot." Jeremiah 3:6

Like Israel in the days of the prophets, Mystery Babylon has turned from YHVH and formed alliances with kings and merchants of the earth, embracing wealth, power, and paganism. She is not just sinful — she is spiritually adulterous.

The Biblical Harlot Defined

A harlot, in Scripture, is one who betrays faithfulness for gain. She was meant to be holy, but she compromises truth for influence. She appears righteous, clothed in religion but her actions reveal her true allegiance.

She is described as clothed in purple and scarlet, decked with gold, precious stones, and pearls — symbols of religious wealth and power. She holds a golden cup, but it is filled with abominations and filthiness. The world drinks from her hand and becomes drunk with her deceptions.

"Flee from Babylon, and deliver your soul: do not partake of her sins; for this is the time of the YHVH's vengeance; he will repay her sins. Babylon has been a golden cup in the YHVH's hand, that made all the earth drunk: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore the nations are intoxicated." Jeremiah 51:6-7

In the days of Israel’s Babylonian captivity, Babylon had become the greatest kingdom over the earth that exceeded in military might and power and had the world engaged in idolatry and excess.

This great city, in its spiritual form, represents the prostitution of faith and the corruption of what was once moral and descent but now has greatly fallen. All of the world are in league with her through world commerce, because she sits at the hub of world trade, the kings of the earth have become wealthy because of her. Because of this league she has formed—the League of Nations— all nations that have joined the “melting pot” having become corrupt through her rebellion and wickedness.

Unveiling the harlot that rides the Beast

In Revelation mystery Babylon is shown riding the beast — not resisting it, but guiding it. The beast coming out of the sea with ten horns represent the final kingdom that forms which tramples the whole earth, while the woman that guides the beast is the one bringing this final kingdom to power, bringing the nations together and feeding this final kingdom with religious and economic support. Together, they form the final global empire — a blend of state, religion, and economy.

Her reach is global. Revelation says the waters she sits upon are peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues. Her influence spans continents. She spreads her ideology through media, education, commerce, and religious institutions. She looks like morality but is filled with rebellion.

The system of ancient Babylon was never destroyed; it simply changed hands and morphed into various forms throughout history. Rome inherited the spirit of Babylon, and it was from the Roman Empire that the modern world order began to take shape. Yet, the ultimate form of Mystery Babylon will not only be a political power but a religious power that dominates global thought, culture, and trade, all while pretending to represent the faith of the true Elohim.

This great harlot is non other than America, the land of the dragon.

The name Amaru comes from the ancient Incan world. It refers to a serpent or dragon-like being that was worshiped. In the Incan belief the dragon signifies a power that breaks open the old to make way for the new.

Amaruka means “land of the dragon”. Some historians have suggested that the lands now known as the Americas, were taken from the name of this ancient land. I firmly believe there are no coincidences. Just carefully laid layers of deception that masks the truth. The evil rulers of this world, get the whole world to participate in these worship rituals to the dragon.

The foundation of this country in early colonialism was known as the new world. Without question, the intention of the architects that framed the land we now call the United States was for this country to be the light bringer of a new age.

From Thomas Paine’s book “Common Sense” there is this excerpt

"We have it in our power to begin the world over again. The birth day of a new world is at hand."

“Novus Ordo Seclorum.”—”A new order of the ages”

The vision of a new world and a new world order is now coming to fruition by the subtlety of the dragon.

Her End Is Prophesied

But her rule will not last. In a stunning turn, the horns of the very beast she rides will turn on her, strip and devour her, and burn her with fire. Revelation 17:16–17 declares:

"And the ten horns which you saw upon the beast... shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire. For YHVH has put in their hearts to fulfill His will..."

She is judged by the very system she helped create. She will be used, and once she has served her purpose in establishing this final kingdom of the beast, she will be discarded and destroyed without mercy. Her fall will be fast, violent, and complete.

Her Fall Is Declared

Merchants mourn, kings tremble, but heaven rejoices. For her sins have reached to heaven. Her persecution of the righteous, her seduction of the nations, her pride and blasphemy — all are remembered before YHVH.

She boasted she would never see sorrow. She believed her luxury was her security. But within a short time, she is brought to ruin.

The Call to the Righteous

In the midst of her destruction, a voice from heaven cries out:

"Come out of her, my people, that you be not partakers of her sins, that you not receive of her judgments." (Revelation 18:4)

This is the warning to the elect. Do not be entangled in her riches, her politics, or her religious systems. Do not be deceived by her appearance of righteousness. Her judgment is near, and those who cling to her will fall with her.

This is not just a call to leave a location — it is a command to reject a false system. To abandon her values, her compromises, her version of truth. To refuse her intoxicating wine, her pride, and her false security.

A Warning to the Final Generation

Mystery Babylon’s greatest deception is her claim to speak for God while opposing His word. She welcomes all religions but persecutes the righteous. She celebrates tolerance but demands conformity. She wears the garments of righteousness, but inside is filled with the blood of the prophets and the saints.

She is the apostate system, the false church, the global counterfeit of the true bride. She is the harlot that presents herself as queen but will be judged as an evil adulterous.

For a complete understanding of the prophetic and spiritual picture of Mystery Babylon, see our teaching Mystery Babylon Revealed.

The Ten Horns and Their Role in Babylon’s Destruction

At the appointed time, Mystery Babylon will face its ultimate destruction by the force of the ten confederate kings, the ten horns of the Beast. These kings, driven by religious conviction, will willingly submit their authority to the Beast under the belief that they are fulfilling a divine mandate to rid the world of the corruption and idolatry represented by Babylon.

The ten kings will not be working to establish the Beast’s world system in the way it is typically understood. They will act in zealous religious devotion, believing that they are part of a divine mission to destroy the immorality of Babylon—which they will interpret as the false worship of idols and the corruption of faith. This religious zeal will be manipulated by the antichrist and false prophet, who will twist the truth and present themselves as the divine agents of a holy war against the evil system of Babylon.

Revelation 17:16-17 makes it clear that the ten horns are empowered by YHVH for this very purpose, even though they will be deceived: “For YHVH has put in their hearts to fulfill his will.” In their eyes, they are executing divine judgment by destroying the harlot and its influence.

These ten kings, in their religious fervor, will not see themselves as agents of a global dictatorship, but rather as instruments of divine justice. They will believe that they are fulfilling the will of “Allah” by ridding the world of the immoral Babylonian system, which they associate with the idolatry of the world’s corrupt political and religious structures.

The Destruction of Babylon

As the ten horns rise to power, they will destroy Babylon. In Revelation 18:8-9, the destruction of Babylon is described as swift and decisive:

"Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is YHVH who judgeth her."

Babylon will be fully exposed for what it truly is: a system of spiritual prostitution, exploiting the nations for the sake of greed, and power.

The Enforcers of Sharia Law

The ten horns, in their religious zeal, will enforce a global system of Sharia law—believing that they are executing divine will. They will view the spread of Islam as a necessary act to purify the earth from the moral decay they associate with the Babylonian system, which they see as the root of idolatry and corruption. They will not view their actions as serving the Beast’s world domination, but as a holy mission to establish peace and justice by enforcing strict religious law.

As the ten kings carry out their mission, they will establish a unified global authority, believing that this will bring peace to the world and fulfill the will of Allah.

Thus, the destruction of Babylon marks the beginning of a new era—one in which the forces of an Islamic state will rise to power as proclaimed instruments of religious purity and zeal. These Islamic nations will believe they are purifying the earth, but in reality, they will be unwitting pawns in the hands of the antichrist, bringing about the final order that will unite the world under a false faith and a false law.

Conclusion

As we have carefully unpacked prophecy and symbolism throughout the book of Revelation, we see the importance of understanding this symbolism which has been carefully concealed waiting to be revealed to the elect in the final days. There has never been another time in history that all of the pieces of this mystery have come together as is now possible. YHVH in His wisdom and love for the remnants of His children, has preserved for our understanding the enemies carefully concealed plan to possess the earth, to corrupt and destroy its inhabitants. But praise, glory and honor to our loving Father that has loved us from the beginning. And has given us His overshadowing cloud in this wilderness of sin, and the glowing pillar of His presence as a guiding light before us always. The One who gave us the honor of knowing Him through His preserved word of truth. And the most precious gift of all, our Saviour and coming King to whom all power will be given.

"I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one as the appearance of a Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Daniel 7:13-14:

A Mystery Written in Nature, Revealed in History, Fulfilled in Spirit

1. Healing in the Blood: A Scientific Mystery

When a person is bitten by a deadly serpent, time becomes a cruel master. Venom flows fast — through tissue, blood, and nerve — attacking organs, paralyzing muscles, destroying cells. Left untreated, the bite often ends in death.

But there is a cure.

Since the 1890s, scientists have developed antivenom — a life-saving serum made by injecting controlled amounts of snake venom into animals such as goats, or lambs. These animals are chosen because they are strong, resistant, and capable of surviving small doses of venom.

The process unfolds like this:

• The animal is injected with a small amount of venom.
• Its body fights back, producing antibodies — defenses specifically shaped to neutralize the poison.
• After a period of exposure, blood is drawn from the animal.
• That blood is processed and purified. The antibodies are extracted and transformed into antivenom.
• That serum is then used to treat people that have been bitten — and it works. The blood of the afflicted becomes the salvation of the dying.

It is one of the most remarkable truths in medicine:

The very thing that was wounded becomes the source of healing.

And it raises a question few ever stop to ask:

Why did the Creator design it this way?

Why is it that blood, suffering, and substitution are woven into the structure of healing?

Why does the cure for the serpent’s bite require the blood of a living creature who first takes on the venom?

Is this mere biology? Or is it prophecy in nature?

As we turn the pages of history, a pattern begins to emerge — a pattern that stretches across millennia and weaves its way through Scripture like a hidden thread.

Let’s walk that path.

2. The Serpent and the Seed: The First Bite

In the beginning, YHVH formed man from the dust and breathed into him the breath of life. In the garden He planted, there was no death, no shame, no separation — only communion between the Creator and His creation.

But into that garden came the serpent. Not with violence, but with a question.

“Did Elohim really say…?”

The venom of the serpent was not fangs, but deception. And when the man and woman listened and ate, the poison entered. With the bite came shame, fear, exile, and death — not just of the body, but of the soul. Sin had made its wound, and it would spread.

They realized they were naked — a deeper nakedness than flesh alone. It was a stripping of innocence. A spiritual nakedness, exposed by guilt. They tried to cover themselves with fig leaves, the work of their own hands. But it was not enough.

YHVH Himself made garments for them — tunics of skin. The life of another had been taken to cover their shame.

This was the first death recorded in Scripture — not man, but an innocent animal. A sacrifice not spoken, but shown. From the beginning, YHVH revealed that sin required a covering — and that covering came through the shedding of blood.

Yet even in the curse, a promise was given. A war would begin between the serpent and the woman, between his seed and hers. One would come — the seed of the woman — who would crush the serpent’s head, though his own heel would be struck.

This promise became the thread of hope running through generations.

That thread passed to a man named Abraham. He was called out from among the nations, and to him was given a promise: that through his seed, all the families of the earth would be blessed.

But the promise was tested.

YHVH told Abraham to take his beloved son Isaac — the child of the promise — and offer him as a burnt offering. Without protest, Abraham climbed the mountain with wood on his son’s back and fire in his hands. Isaac asked, “My father… where is the lamb for the offering?”

And Abraham answered, “YHVH will provide.”

At the moment the blade was raised, YHVH stopped the sacrifice. And there, caught in a thicket, was a ram. A substitute.

The life of the son was spared through the blood of another. The pattern was being written in flesh and stone — not only that man is powerless to save himself, but that YHVH in His mercy provides a substitute.

From the garden to the mountain, from the curse to the covering, a picture was forming — quiet, precise, unmistakable.

The serpent had struck.

But the plan of redemption was already moving forward.

3. The Blood in Egypt: The Life of the Firstborn

YHVH made a covenant with Abraham — not a mere promise, but an unbreakable oath. He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward the heavens, and count the stars if you are able to number them… So shall your seed be.” And Abraham believed YHVH.

But YHVH told him more.

“Know for certain that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years. But afterward, I will judge that nation, and they shall come out with great possessions.” Genesis 15:13–14

The future was set. The seed would suffer. But YHVH would deliver them.

Before the affliction came, a pattern was already unfolding in the life of one of Abraham’s descendants — Joseph, the beloved son of Jacob.

Joseph dreamed dreams of rule and destiny, and his brothers, moved by jealousy, plotted to kill him. Death was determined upon him, but his life was spared. Instead, they took a goat, killed it, and dipped Joseph’s coat — the coat of many colors — in the blood.

They brought the bloodstained garment to their father, who mourned, believing his son was dead. But Joseph was alive. He was sold into slavery, sent down into Egypt, and there, through suffering and testing, he rose to power — becoming the one through whom all were saved from famine.

The picture could not be clearer.

• A beloved son, rejected by his brothers.
• A substitute killed in his place.
• Blood upon a coat symbolizing the nations.
• A life preserved so that many might be saved.

What appeared to be betrayal and death was actually the path to redemption.

And just as YHVH had spoken, the children of Israel multiplied in Egypt — and were enslaved. The prophecy to Abraham was coming to pass.

The cries of the people rose to heaven, and YHVH remembered His covenant. He sent a deliverer — Moses — to confront Pharaoh with signs and wonders. Plague after plague struck Egypt, but Pharaoh’s heart was hardened.

Then came the final blow.

YHVH declared that He would pass through the land, and every firstborn would die — from the house of Pharaoh to the cattle in the field. But for His people, He made a way of escape.

Each household was to take a lamb, without blemish, and kill it at twilight. They were to take its blood and mark their doorposts. Inside, they would eat the lamb, with unleavened bread and bitter herbs, prepared to leave in haste.

And YHVH said:

“When I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you…” Exodus 12:13

The blood was a sign — that death had already come to that house.

A life had been given. A substitute had taken the place of the firstborn.

YHVH had already declared:

“Israel is My son, My firstborn.” Exodus 4:22

The lamb died so that the firstborn might live.

The pattern continued.

From the garden to the mountain to the palace of Pharaoh, the message was the same:

Man cannot save himself. But YHVH, in His mercy, provides a substitute.

4. The Serpent in the Wilderness: The promise of life

YHVH had delivered His people from slavery, but the wilderness would reveal what still bound their hearts. Though they had seen His wonders — the sea split, the manna fall, the rock pour out water — they turned again to fear and rebellion. And so, judgment came.

Fiery serpents were sent among the people. The poison spread quickly. Many died.

And once again, YHVH, in His mercy, gave a prophetic command that called for their faith:

“Make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.” Numbers 21:8

A serpent — the very image of their curse — was to be lifted up. And all who looked at it were healed.

But this was not just about that moment. It was a prophecy in motion.

The healing of the body pointed to a greater healing yet to come — not of flesh, but of the soul. A healing for the venom that entered in Eden, that no man could cleanse.

And the prophets began to speak.

Centuries later, the voice of David cried out with language that pierced time itself:

“Dogs have surrounded me; a band of evildoers has encircled me; they have pierced my hands and my feet… they divide my garments among them and cast lots for my clothing.” Psalm 22:16,18

This was not poetic exaggeration. It was a vision of suffering long before crucifixion existed. David saw something — someone — whose death would shake the earth.

And then came Isaiah, declaring what the world could not yet understand:

“He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief… Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows… He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities… and by His stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:3–5

“YHVH has laid on Him the iniquity of us all… He was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of My people He was stricken… Yet it pleased YHVH to bruise Him.” Isaiah 53:6–10

This was the mystery long hidden: the suffering of the innocent in place of the guilty. Not as a new idea, but as the final fulfillment of everything written before:

• The animal slain to cover Adam
• The ram that took Isaac’s place
• The blood on Joseph’s coat
• The lamb that died in Egypt
• The serpent lifted up in the wilderness

Each one was a shadow. But the substance — the true substitute — was coming.

And when He came, He would be pierced. Rejected. Struck.

And in that striking, we would be healed.

5. The Lamb Revealed: The Fulfillment in Yeshua

All the signs, the sacrifices, the blood, the substitutes — they were not the end. They were the veil hiding the mystery of redemption until the appointed time.

When Yeshua of Nazareth walked among the people, He was not merely a teacher or prophet. He was the living embodiment of everything foretold.

He was born into the house of David, of the seed of Abraham, the promised One. Yet He was rejected by His own, despised, and misunderstood. But this rejection was not failure — it was fulfillment.

“He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.” John 1:11

Yet to those who saw — truly saw — they recognized Him as the Lamb.

When Yochanan (John) the Immerser saw Yeshua, he cried out:

“Behold! The Lamb of Elohim, who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29

The Lamb had come. Not for one household. Not for one nation. But for the world.

Yeshua, without sin and without blemish, offered Himself willingly. No one took His life from Him — He laid it down. Betrayed by one close to Him, sold for silver, silent before His accusers — every step He took fulfilled what had been written.

He was stripped, mocked, beaten. A crown of thorns pierced His brow. His hands and feet were nailed to wood. And on that tree, lifted up like the serpent in the wilderness, He bore the curse for all.

Yeshua received that serpent venom, that we might be healed from the poison of death.

The venom of sin, the sting of death — all placed upon Him.

As He hung there, He cried out the words David had written a thousand years before:

“My El, My El, why have You forsaken Me?” Psalm 22:1

And as the earth trembled, and darkness covered the sky, the blood of the true Lamb was poured out — not on doorposts of wood, but upon the altar of eternity.

Yeshua fulfilled the picture from the beginning:

• He was the seed promised in the garden
• The substitute for Isaac
• The greater Joseph, rejected and raised up
• The Passover Lamb
• The serpent lifted up
• The suffering servant
• The One whom YHVH provided

And on the third day, He rose.

The curse was broken. The grave lost its power. The poison was reversed.

Now, all who are bitten — all who have sinned — can look to Him and live. Not by offerings. But by trusting in and obeying the One who came to set the captives free.

“Look unto Me and be saved, all the ends of the earth. For I am YHVH, and there is no other.” Isaiah 45:22

This is the story written from the beginning. Not only of the struggle with death, but of YHVH’s great mercy and love to rescue mankind. A story of blood and redemption, of judgment and healing, of sacrifice and resurrection.

And it all points to Yeshua.

The Final Message:

From the dust of Eden to the heights of Sinai, from Egypt’s darkness to the wilderness path, the shadow of the Lamb was always there. And now, at the end of all things, the veil is lifted, and the vision is clear.

John, while exiled on the island of Patmos, was caught up in the Spirit and shown what is — and what is to come. He saw heaven opened, the throne of YHVH, the elders, the myriads of angels. And in the midst of the throne stood One unlike any other.

“Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the midst of the throne…” Revelation 5:6

He alone was found worthy. No man in heaven or on earth could open the scroll — the scroll that contained the fullness of YHVH’s redemptive plan. But the Lamb could.

“Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Revelation 5:5

And all of heaven fell down in worship:

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing!” Revelation 5:12

This Lamb — slain from the foundation of the world — was never an afterthought. He was the plan from the beginning. Every bloodstained garment, every altar, every prophecy, every shadow was pointing to Him.

The scroll of the final unveiling of the redemption of mankind is opened. The truth is revealed.

Salvation has come — the work has been finished.

The Lamb is not on the altar anymore. He is on the throne.

All who follow the path of Cain will bring their own fruits from the cursed ground and their offering will not be accepted before the judge of the whole earth.

Look to YHVH and come with the required offering just as Abel did.

Accept YHVH’s provided substitute.

The one who was pierced… is now crowned.

As we have seen, the blood of our Messiah is the acceptable sacrifice for sin and a renewed heart. But is accepting that sacrifice all that is required for salvation? See our teaching The Purpose Of Messiah.

I. The Planting Of YHVH

In the beginning, YHVH created a garden—this garden was not only a place of beauty, but of order, peace, and divine fellowship. It was the space where heaven met earth, where YHVH’s presence dwelt, and His will was done without obstruction. Here mankind was called to live under His authority and blessing.

“And YHVH Elohim planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there He put the man whom He had formed.”(Genesis 2:8)

Adam was not placed in the garden without responsibility. He was commanded to cultivate and care for it. (Genesis 2:15)

This commission was spiritual as much as physical. The garden also symbolizes the domain of YHVH’s people throughout all ages: a space set apart from the chaos of the nations, a space that must be maintained with vigilance.

But from the beginning, the enemy has been present.

In the garden the serpent had not yet struck, but he was there—subtle, calculating, waiting. He did not come with a sword but with a question: “Has YHVH really said?” His method was deception. The target was the mind. And the goal was to plant corruption within the garden itself.

The consequences of Adam’s sin was separation from that cover of blessing and provision. It brought about the curse that was outside of the garden. Thorns, not just in the ground but in the spiritual domain of man:

“Cursed is the ground because of you… thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you.” (Genesis 3:17–18)

The spiritual thorns represented what would now grow alongside the righteous: wickedness, temptations and oppression from hostile nations, and adversarial lineages that would corrupt, entangle, and seek to choke out the children of light.

From this point forward, the story of Scripture becomes the story of two seeds:

• The seed of the woman, who would carry the covenant

• And the seed of the serpent, who would war against it

YHVH did not abandon His planting—but He allowed the thorns to remain. Not to destroy His people, but to test them, to refine them, and to show the difference between what is planted by YHVH and what is sown by the enemy.

II. The Subtlety Of A Deceiver

The enemy did not storm the gates—he entered the garden quietly. He came not as a beast of prey, but as a serpent: intelligent, persuasive, and driven by one goal—to corrupt what YHVH made good.

“Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which YHVH Elohim had made.” (Genesis 3:1)

His method was to target Eve with a distorted version of truth, to captivate and entice the senses and to sow seeds of doubt: “Has YHVH indeed said…?” His tactic was to redefine truth, and ultimately to convince mankind they can live independently from their Creator, provider and law giver. This tactic was not only about tempting with disobedience, it was an act of rebellion. Through deception, the seed of self-rule, pride, and lawlessness entered the human line.

And with that act, what was innocent and good became corrupted.

Once Adam and Eve were placed outside of the garden, YHVH declared that the ground would now yield thorns and thistles—symbols of the corruption that had entered the world, and of the spiritual struggle that would seek to dominate and choke out His planting.

These thorns are more than a metaphor.

Scripture shows that thorns are corrupt and evil nations. In Numbers 33:55, YHVH warns Israel that if they do not remove the corrupt seed that were inhabiting the Promised Land, those nations will become:

“…barbs in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will trouble you in the land where you dwell.”

The Canaanites, Amorites, Moabites, Philistines—these were not just pagan tribes. They were the seed of the wicked one. The manifestation of spiritual rebellion. Their cultures were steeped in:

• Sexual perversion

• Idolatry and sorcery

• Child sacrifice and every form of wickedness

They were, quite literally, the seed of the serpent in national form—designed to ensnare, deceive, and entangle the people of YHVH.

This pattern repeats across Scripture. Because of temptation and sin through mixing with these nations, and learning their ways. The righteous come into agreement with the wicked and they enter back into the curse, and the thorns begin to grow up around them.

These thorns represent the seed of the serpent that takes many disguises but the lure is always there that speaks to the desires of the flesh. They are like the wolves among the flock, the counterfeit among the true, and the parasite clinging to the host.

Even in the days of Messiah, the thorns were not absent. They were embedded deep in the religious elite, in the temple priesthood, and in the Roman powers that prevailed.

III. The Thorns Throughout History

The idea that evil only exists as a vague force or moral failing is a lie. In Scripture, evil has lineage, it has names, and it works through people, nations, and systems. The garden of YHVH was not overrun by accident—it was infiltrated by an adversary with ancient roots.

From the very beginning, YHVH made a distinction between two kinds of people:

“I will put enmity between your seed and her seed…” (Genesis 3:15)

This is not poetic language. This is a divine decree: there would be a perpetual conflict between two bloodlines—those who carry the covenant, and those who carry rebellion. This enmity unfolds across the pages of Scripture:

Cain and Abel: The First Division

Cain’s offering was rejected because his heart was corrupt. When confronted, he murdered the righteous seed. This was not merely jealousy—it was the spirit of the serpent working through a man.

“Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother…” (1 John 3:12)

Canaan: The Corrupted Line

After the flood, Canaan—the son of Ham—was cursed. His descendants became the most perverse, violent, and spiritually depraved nations in the land. They practiced:

• Child sacrifice to Molech

• Temple prostitution

• Occultism and sorcery

• Economic exploitation and robbery

YHVH purged them from His land because of their unrepentant corruption. But not all of the thorns were removed.

“These nations… they will be thorns in your side and snares to you.” (Judges 2:3)

Edom: The Curse Continues

"And YHVH said to her, There are two nations in your womb, and two kinds of people shall be separated from you…" Genesis 25:23

Out of rebellion, Esau mixed with the foreign women of that cursed lineage of the Canaanite nation and that seed was spread.

Esau’s descendants—Edom—were partial blood relatives of Israel but like Cain, they bore a perpetual hatred for the Righteous.

“Because you had an ancient hatred and shed the blood of the children of Israel…”(Ezekiel 35:5)

Edom allied with Babylon during Jerusalem’s destruction. They rejoiced when Zion was crushed. The prophet Obadiah is entirely devoted to condemning Edom for its betrayal and hidden hand behind Israel’s downfall.

Edom did not disappear. Their lineage and influence continued—intermarrying, infiltrating, and eventually occupying religious power structures by the time of Yeshua. Herod the First—who sought to kill Messiah as a child—was an Edomite.

Babylon, Assyria, Rome: Systems of Enslavement

Each empire that dominated Israel operated under the same spirit:

• Babylon: Economic domination, sorcery, false religion

• Assyria: Brutality, forced assimilation

• Rome: Political power married to religious hypocrisy

These were not random political forces—they were extensions of the same spiritual enemy, embodied through nations and elites who sought to uproot what was good and exploit the righteous for their own gain.

IV. The Thorns Are Allowed—But Only For A Season

Many ask: If YHVH is sovereign, why allow these thorns to remain in His garden? Why not uproot them all at once?

Just as Adam was told to toil among the thorns, so too has every generation of YHVH’s people. The thorns do not exist by divine approval—but by divine wisdom. They test, refine, and remind the remnant of the consequences that come from choosing the desires of the flesh over obedience to the Father. It keeps them from growing comfortable in a foreign land. It keeps their eyes fixed on a promised redemption for all that are brought back to the fold. And in His Kingdom, a return back to the blessings of the garden of YHVH.

“YHVH your Elohim left those nations to test Israel… to know whether they would obey the commandments of YHVH.” (Judges 3:4)

YHVH’s people were never called to merge with the world or engage in its corruption. As keepers of His garden, they were commanded to separate, to uproot, and to guard against the thorns.

But in every age there was compromise and many fell. Some intermixed with the thorns, others imitated their ways, and still more justified their presence in the name of peace. And with each compromise, the thorns multiplied—until YHVH stepped in to purge what man refused to.

Whether through judgment, exile, or the arrival of deliverers, YHVH has always maintained His planting. The thorns may flourish for a time, but they are never allowed to rule indefinitely.

“Though they flourish among his brothers, the east wind shall come… and his fountain shall dry up.” (Hosea 13:15)

History has shown the rise and fall of these thorn kingdoms—Babylon, Edom, Rome—and still today, their spiritual descendants operate under the same guise, hiding behind modern systems of religion and world powers. But their season is limited, and their end is already prophesied.

V. You Will Know Them By Their Fruits

Yeshua said it plainly:

“You will know them by their fruits.(Matthew 7:16)

A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a corrupt tree produce good. This is a spiritual law. And the thorns—though they may disguise themselves in robes, rhetoric, or wealth—always produce the same bitter fruit. These fruits are not merely individual sins. They are systems, ideologies, and institutions that bear the mark of their origin: rebellion, deception, and control.

These are the tools of enslavement, and they are not random. They are designed—engineered by the spiritual and physical descendants of the serpent to feed off of the labor, morality, and resources of YHVH’s people.

1. Usury – The Economic Yoke

YHVH forbade His people from practicing usury—the charging of interest to profit off of another’s need. Why? Because usury is slavery in disguise.

And yet, from ancient Canaan to modern central banking, the system of usury has been a cornerstone of control. Entire nations are kept in perpetual debt. Families are destroyed by credit. Land, labor, and time are siphoned away not by the sword, but by the pen of the lender.

This is not accidental. The financial systems of the modern world are not based on justice—but on enslavement, with the parasite feeding off of the host indefinitely.

2. Corrupted Capitalism – Profit Without Righteousness

While honest trade is blessed in Scripture, what we now call “capitalism” has become a tool of exploitation. It rewards the greedy, crushes the poor, and empowers those willing to sell out morality for material gain.

• Corporations profit from pornography, pharmaceutical dependency, slave labor, and environmental destruction.

• Every crisis becomes a market: war, disease, famine—all harvested for profit.

This is not free enterprise. This is a perverted system where Mammon rules, and where the harvest of the earth is bought and sold by a few, while the masses labor and die in debt.

3. Marxism & Communism – Wolves in Revolutionary Clothing

While posing as “freedom for the oppressed,” Marxism is a spiritual lie. Its true goal is the destruction of faith, the family, and moral ethics.

• It abolishes private property, not to bring justice, but to hand control to the state.

• It glorifies rebellion and envy.

• And most of all, it targets specifically the Christian nations—because belief in scripture is incompatible with total submission to man.

These systems are not neutral. They are deliberately anti-Christ, and were crafted by men whose philosophies were steeped in occult, hatred, and anti-Biblical ideologies.

4. Secularism – The Great Lie of Neutrality

Secularism pretends to be a fair playing field, but in reality, it is a war on what is holy. It demands that YHVH’s Word be removed from schools, courts, and society—not to preserve peace, but an attempt to erase His authority from public life.

The result? A generation that no longer knows right from wrong. A people cut off from their spiritual roots, and left to wander in confusion, addiction, and despair.

5. Cultural Subversion – Media, Music, Education

The modern cultural machine promotes:

• Sexual confusion
• Violence as entertainment
• Mockery of righteousness
• Glorification of rebellion
• A contempt for the order YHVH ordained

These are not just trends—they are the voice of the serpent, speaking lies in every home through screens, songs, and schools. This is how the thorns reproduce: by seeding the next generation with corruption.

These are the fruits of the bad tree—visible, global, and undeniably rooted in an ancient rebellion. The same spirit that corrupted mankind in Eden now drives religion, global finance, media, and ideology.

VI. The Children of the Wicked One

Yeshua did not speak vaguely when He confronted the spiritual forces behind the corruption of His time. He named them, identified their true nature, and spoke directly to their intentions.

Yeshua’s ministry was not just about healing and teaching—it was a direct confrontation with the parasitic thorns that ruled over Israel, both in the spiritual and political realms. And in doing so, He exposed the children of the wicked one—those whose hearts were aligned with the serpent in the garden.

1. The Pharisees: The “Seed of the Serpent”

In His public rebukes and disputes with the religious leaders of His day, Yeshua made a stark and uncompromising distinction between those who bore good fruit and those who were spawned from the wicked one.

“You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him.” (John 8:44)

The Pharisees, who were the religious leaders of Israel at that time, appeared outwardly righteous—although they followed certain legalities of the law, dressed the part, and were highly respected by society. Yet, Yeshua saw their true nature. They were spiritually aligned with Satan’s agenda. Their desire for power, their greed and hypocrisy, and their false teachings were evident to those with eyes to see.

They were agents of control and deception, leading people into religious slavery rather than freedom that comes through walking in covenant. And like the serpent in Eden, they were deceiving the people of YHVH.

2. The “Synagogue of Satan”

Yeshua warned of those who would masquerade as His people while secretly working to deceive, corrupt, and destroy. In the letters to the dispersed of Israel in Revelation, He rebuked the synagogue of Satan:

"…I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9-10)

The synagogue of satan represented those who held to the external form of religion but were filled with malice, deception, and a desire for power. They sought to undermine truth, control the people, and divert them from the true worship of YHVH.

Yeshua’s words were clear: there are those who look like the people of YHVH but whose hearts and deeds align with evil. This distinction between the children of light and the children of darkness has existed throughout history.

3. The Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing

In His warnings to His disciples, Yeshua spoke of wolves in sheep’s clothing—those who would enter the flock disguised as teachers of truth, but whose ultimate goal was to exploit, manipulate, and lead the people astray.

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” (Matthew 7:15)

These were not just individuals, but entire systems and ideologies that masqueraded as righteous, while internally they were driven by greed, hatred, and control. Yeshua’s words here are prophetic—they warn of those who would come in the name of peace, prosperity, and love, but whose ultimate aim was to enslave and deceive.

4. The Pharisees and Their Father’s House

In Matthew 23, Yeshua explicitly condemns the Pharisees for their hypocrisy and their false system of religion:

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in.” (Matthew 23:13)

This is a direct attack on the false religious system—a system of control that refused to allow people to access the true freedom and truth of YHVH. These systems are designed to hinder the fruit bearing truth of righteous obedience, to prevent true relationship, and to keep the people in spiritual bondage.

Yeshua directly identifies the nature of the adversary: those who serve the devil’s agenda are not always obvious enemies. They can come in the guise of religious or secular leaders, or even philanthropists, but their mission is the same: to undermine the Kingdom of YHVH and enslave His people by deception.

VII. Let Them Grow Together Until The Harvest

The struggle between the good tree and the bad tree, between light and darkness, will not continue forever. YHVH’s Word is clear: the thorns will be uprooted. The evil systems that have long oppressed His people will be torn down, and His Kingdom will be established in righteousness. This will be the final cleansing of all things that offend.

1. The Uprooting of the Thorns

The thorns may seem to flourish for a season, but their end is written.

In the same way that the first garden in Eden was corrupted through sin; which caused mankind to be placed outside of the garden and among the thorns. So too when the time that has been determined comes to an end will the curse be removed and the thorns purged. YHVH has not forgotten His planting, nor will He allow it to remain under the shadow of the serpent.

“The day of YHVH is near for all the nations… As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head.” (Obadiah 1:15)

The thorns, the parasites, and the false systems of this world that have ruled for so long will be destroyed. Their “fruits”—corruption, oppression, and violence—will be turned back upon their own heads. This is not just a matter of individual judgment but a global, systemic reckoning.

2. The Kingdom of Righteousness

The final victory is not simply the destruction of the thorns, but the establishment of the Kingdom of YHVH—a Kingdom that will be governed by justice, truth, and righteousness. The false systems will be replaced with a world where YHVH’s Law and His justice reign supreme.

“And I will bring them back to their own land, and I will build them up, and not tear them down; I will plant them, and not pluck them up.” (Jeremiah 24:6)

“But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.” (Psalm 37:11)

The Kingdom of YHVH will be a place of restoration—not just for individuals, but for the world itself. It will be a Kingdom where the earth yields its fruit without being corrupted, and where His people will finally dwell in peace, free from the toil of the thorns.

3. The Final Purging and the New Jerusalem

In the final judgment the earth will be purged of its iniquities and Yeshua will uproot all that is evil, leaving only what is good and righteous. This will be a time when the nations are judged, and those who have participated in the systems of wickedness will be held accountable.

In that day, there will be no more of the old systems, no more of the thorns, and no more of the wicked one’s children. It will be a Kingdom where YHVH’s presence is felt in every corner, and where His righteousness reigns without question. The serpent’s influence will be permanently removed.

“And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defiles, neither whatsoever works abomination, or makes a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.”(Revelation 21:27)

The ultimate promise is redemption—a return to the garden of righteousness. This final Kingdom will be free from the corrupt influence of the old world under man’s dominion. And all the systems of deception, control, and rebellion will be no more.

4. The Victory of the Seed of the Woman

In the end, the Seed of the Woman—Yeshua the Messiah and His righteous remnant—will have the victory. He is the true Vine, the good Shepherd, and from that good tree will the remnant be that bear good fruit in Him. Through His sacrifice, in the appointed time, the power of the serpent, and all his children, will be broken. He will bring the ultimate restoration, when He sets up His eternal reign on earth.

“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and He that sat upon him was called Faithful and True… And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of YHVH.”(Revelation 19:11-13)

Yeshua will come as the righteous Judge and King, overthrowing the systems of evil that have long oppressed the people of YHVH. His Kingdom will bring about the ultimate transformation of creation—when the earth will be restored, and YHVH’s people will live in perfect peace.

"I beheld in the night vision, and, lo, one coming with the clouds of heaven as the Son of man, and he came to the Ancient of days, and was brought near before him. And to him was given the dominion, and the honour, and the kingdom; and all nations, tribes, and languages, shall serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not be destroyed." Daniel 7:13-14:

VIII. The Circle Of Thorns And A Crown Of Life

1. Thorns: The Mark of the Curse

It’s time now to bring this study full circle and explain why there is only One that all dominion over this earth will be given to.

From the beginning, thorns were a sign of the curse that followed Adam’s disobedience:

“Cursed is the ground because of you… thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you.” (Genesis 3:17–18)

They represent evil, corruption, and the consequence of rebellion—both spiritually and in the earth itself. The cursed ground bore thorns, just as the cursed world would produce spiritual thorns: wicked rulers, oppressive systems, and deceitful powers that would afflict the righteous.

2. Yeshua Bears the Curse—on His Head

When Yeshua stood before His accusers, the Roman soldiers twisted a crown of thorns and pressed it into His scalp. What they intended as humiliation, was divinely ordained as atonement.

The symbol of the curse was placed on the head of the Sinless One, not by accident, but in fulfillment of prophecy. In that moment, He bore not only the physical pain but also the spiritual curse of mankind.

“He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief… Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by YHVH, and afflicted.”(Isaiah 53:3–4)

3. The Levitical Pattern: Laying the Sin on the Head

Under the laws for the Levitical priesthood, the High Priest would lay his hands on the head of the spotless animal sacrifice and confess the sins of the people over it, transferring guilt from the nation onto the substitute.

“…he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt offering… and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement.” (Leviticus 1:4)

In the same way, the world’s guilt was laid upon Yeshua when the evil rulers of this world placed a crown of thorns upon His head declaring the sinless Lamb guilty. Though they acted in ignorance, they fulfilled a spiritual transference.

“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. YHVH has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:5–6)

4. The Lamb Led to the Slaughter

Yeshua did not resist. Like the animals led to sacrifice in the tabernacle, He opened not His mouth, fulfilling the exact pattern Isaiah foresaw:

“He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter… For He was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgressions of My people He was stricken.” (Isaiah 53:7–8)

The thorns, the cross, and the suffering were all part of the plan. He bore the curse so we could be planted in the garden of His righteousness.

5. From Crown of Thorns to Eternal Kingship

Though He was crowned with thorns in mockery, that act sealed His right to wear the true crown of glory. The One who bore the sins of many will return as the King, no longer burdened, but victorious.

“… My righteous Servant shall justify many, for He shall bear their iniquities… He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.” (Isaiah 53:11–12)

When the sons of Adam are planted in the garden, the curse will be removed. There will be an abundance from the tree of life, tended by the One who once wore thorns so we could wear crowns.
