Baruch Atah Yahweh Eloheinu Melech Ha Olam who brought you here to Yahshua's People, the Home Page of the Messianic Hebrews, of those who keep the Torah of Yahweh and the Testimony of Yahshua Ha Mashiach.
The world is indeed about to enter into the most perilous time, ever. Many key prophecies are already being fulfilled. In fact the gathering of the nations leading to the great and final battle has begun. The nuclear war, predicted by Joel 2 and Matthew 24, will come to pass. Worldwide pandemic diseases such as chicken flu, mad-cow disease, new strain of HIV, drug resistant tuberculosis, out-break of ebola, etc. are right around the corner. No country can escape that which is coming upon this world. Indeed, there will come such a need for triage that a government will have no choice but to choose whom and what section of a town will receive what care. There are already plans in place, but unknown to the people, according L. Rubenstein in his book the Age Of Triage.
Just before the terrible pain and sufferings that are soon descending upon mankind, leading to the Great Day of Yahweh, our Heavenly Father had promised to 'send messengers according to His own heart to teach the people knowledge and understanding,' Jer.3: 15; and that a work in the spirit of Eliyah would restore all things, Mat.17:11. It is in that spirit that this Website was brought to you as a two-fold blessings: an answer to the prayers of Truth-Seekers who have asked ' whatever happened through time and history that produced all those churches,' as a beacon of light for whosoever is diligently seeking the Original Doctrine as preached and practiced by Yahshua's Hebrew Apostles, and a Call to come out of Babylon to a set-apart place, according to the Vision for the Latter Days' Saints.
I fairly know that the teaching on this Site runs contrary to most-people's mindset and what’s out there in every synagogue, church, and temple, or other web sites. This Site is meant to be a challenge to many who claim to believe in Yahshua. I am not here to please souls by talking the usual ‘religious talk’ of a system that seeks to keep people subservient to its machine, for the preservation of the status quo. This is the building of an Ark of Noah to bring and keep a special, but tiny group of people in a place of safety in sanctification.
The uncompromising stance of this message finds few friends among believers who’d rather be as they want to be, unable to break away from their attachment to what they were brought up to believe. The uniqueness of this message is only for those whose souls are tortured by the declining world around them. The purity of this message is for those whose hearts are pure, and who are seeking for a way to keep the ideal religious life for the sake of the Kingdom. Consequently, unless you are one who believes that sanctification requires a 100% self-sacrifice, this message is not for you. Please, disregard and forgive any sadness the reading of what you’ll see on this Site, which you know is the truth, might cause to your heart. I was warned, before hands, that it will be an uphill battle. Many will come and read, but walk away doubting and laughing, even, finding extremism with what is said, here.
The world’s system is bent on individualistic success, but our message axis is an order that makes financial freedom a priority for all, financial stability a possibility for all, social survival and a safe environment for sanctification a common responsibility. A great time of sufferings is soon coming upon our society: civil unrest, lack of food in the supermarkets, food and water contamination, bacteriological wars, social paranoia, and worldwide pandemonium.
That you may know in advance, I am exclusively looking for those whose faith can accept to do as Yahshua asks. My Master says "Unless a man forsakes all that he has, he cannot be My disciple." I am looking for those whose faith is as concrete as a stone. Those who will actually live their faith as opposed to those that are just talking about the name of Yahshua. In fact, there are those who presume that by acknowledging the ‘sacred names’ and the ‘sacred feast days’, nothing extra needs be done to work out their salvation. However, to know these supreme truths advance no man, unless he goes beyond verbiage. This is why I look for Doers of the Faith, not Talkers about a Faith.
I could not agree more with Justin the Martyr who says, "By mere use of a name nothing is decided, either good or evil, unless some action is implied in the name." And for our purpose I will emphasize that unless some action is taken in the name of Yahweh and for the sake of the Kingdom, one’s confession of being Yahshua’s disciple is a complete lie.
There is a calling going out, right now, to Believers in the Way. This calling I am trumpeting to those who are truly His. It is the calling that they must "Come out of Babylon" to a Set-Apart Way of Life, where one’s life is totally surrendered to Yahweh, for His glory.
Many are, right now, suffering from one extreme to the next because they refuse to surrender to our Master, Elohim. Our lives shall never be different, nor bring any happiness until we totally surrender to Yahweh through Yahshua.
He who totally surrenders to Yahweh leaves the world with its affairs and obligations behind. It is the only way to experience perfect peace. The chaos of everyday life, my friend, is conducive to rob you off the Kingdom to come. But if you break away from this world to live entirely for Yahweh, He will make your burden so light that you will feel like a soaring eagle, high above life’s mountains of troubles, with sweet smooth air sailing under your wings. There shall continue to be sorrow, all around you, but none shall come to live in your dwelling. Do you believe it?
Understand, when you surrender your life to Yahweh, it is no more yours to manage. It is His, who created it, to do as He pleases. You cannot continue to cling on to your way of life, as you’ve had it, and still believe that you’re in Yahweh’s will. No, you are not; for a man who stays where he was at, after the curtain of ignorance has been lifted up, needs not claim to have received the light. His darkness is greater than before.
This call is not for those who live in a beautiful house in a well-to-do and upscale neighborhood. This call is not for those with a steady and well-paying job they feel give them all the financial security they need. This call is not for those with a career they feel would be impaired and whose eyes are looking forward to retirement’s checks. This call is not for those who are content to have Saturdays for worship and going through the ritual of a short prayer in the morning and before bed time.
This is the Latter-Days’ Message and the challenge to all who are called to salvation from the foundation of the world, Eph.1: 4-8; Rom. 8: 30, a measuring of the Temple, the altar and those that worship therein, for the purpose of sanctifying themselves right before the return of our Master, Yahshua.

Historically, it is a given, the man known as Jesus did exist. We have more secular proof that He existed than we do that Plato existed, or Aristotle. In His day, He would have been called Yahshua, a name which means "Yahweh Saves" or "Yahweh is salvation." In a diminutive form -- e.g., my name is Douglas, but most people call me Doug -- he would have been called Yeshua (the Aramaic name by which most Messianic Jews call Him today, as they still believe it is improper to vocalize the Name "Yahweh," in much the same fashion in that it is perfectly all right to say "Jehovah," which is a purposeful misspelling, but not "Yahweh," which is the ultimate in holiness). Yahshua is a name similar to Isaiah or Jeremiah, all of them possessing the name "Yah," the short, poetic form of "Yahweh." (In English, the name Yahshua has become "Joshua.")
The most significant thing, from a human perspective, about Jesus, is that He actually did claim to be the "Son of God," and also, most startlingly, God. He said that if you had seen Him, then you had seen Yahweh, the Father. When He applied "I Am" to Himself, His attackers all toppled over backward, much the same way His enemies do today in the "slain in the spirit" deceptive phenomena.
Today, people are a tad confused, thinking that Jesus' full name was "Jesus Christ" -- that "Christ" is His last name. Actually, Christ is a title, which means "Anointed," the Greek translation of the Jewish title for the Messiah. Jesus Christ means "Jesus the Anointed One," or "Jesus the Messiah." Yahshua IS the Chosen One.
During His short lifetime He accomplished more than any other man has before or since His time. Everything He did was done before witnesses, friend and foe. His enemies, astounded and speechless before His power, claimed He did everything through the power of the devil. Note they did not deny that He did miraculous things, only that He did them without God. Jesus replied with the now famous "a house divided against itself cannot stand."
Jesus displayed power over the elements in stilling the storm, in walking upon the surface of foamy, stormy water, He raised the dead to life, including Lazarus who had been dead for four days (thus disproving the spiritualistic lie that the spirit of the departed hangs about its corpse for three days, and then departs to its final destination), He turned water into wine, cured incurable diseases, lifted the darkness from the eyes of the blind, made those walk who had been crippled their entire lifetime, accepted worship from people (and his disciples and apostles and even angels do not accept worship), fed thousands with a tiny bit of food on multiple occasions, after fasting for 40 days He met Satan in a battle of wits and defeated him, displayed power over the fallen angels when they could not disobey Him, logically met and out-thought the religious experts of the day, fulfilled all Old Testament prophecies concerning the Messiah, miraculously raised people from the dead by only speaking, delivered people who were enslaved to demons, and finally allowed Himself to be nailed to a cross in order that "one man might perish to save many."
Do I believe all this stuff? Yes, I do, it is as real to me as my children, or my wife. It is true, although it might appear to be utter stupidity to someone who has no interest in God.
From God's perspective, and ours when we know better, the most significant thing about Yahshua is that He died in order that we might live. He would have done this if I had been the only man born that had ever sinned, or if it had been only you. He would have died for me, or you. He would have died if you were the only person that needed redemption. In His life He went through all the temptation that we do, all the troubles, all the pains -- and yet He was the only person to ever live without sinning, staying true to His course. It is God's will that none be lost, that everyone be saved -- the only catch here is that God does not force Himself on us, He allows us to make the decision for ourselves, whether we accept His free gift, or reject it.
He has given us free will, along with the angels. The angels made their decision, long ago, on whether they would believe in God's goodness and fairness, or whether they would listen to His enemy, the father of lies. The Bible tells us that a third of the angels opted for the deceiver. That's what they made of their free will. They chose deception.
And we face that deceiver today, the guy who was so good at his deceptive ability that he was able to trick a third of the angels into following him against their God, and these are beings that saw God face to face, worshipped in His presence. This deceiver, the father of lies, is the same guy who was so good at his deceptive ability that he twisted God's words into their exact opposite meaning in order to dupe God's first people on this Earth. God said, "Do not sin, because you will die." Satan twisted it into: "Hey, you're not really going to die, in fact, you're going to be just like God!" It was such a successful ploy that he uses it still today, teaching: "Hey, your body might die, but you're not really going to die, in fact, your soul or your spirit will just float free of your mortal body, you will be immortal, free for the first time!"
That deception worked great for the "Heaven's Gate" cult, and it is working just as powerfully throughout most of Christianity today.
But Jesus is working today, as well. When He died at the cross He defeated the devil. That doesn't mean that the devil is going to lie down and play dead -- in fact, the Bible describes the fallen cherub as deceiving the whole world, going about like a roaring lion to devour as many as he can. But Jesus isn't just kicking back on the right hand of the Father -- He's working, busily, so that as many as possible can be saved.
Our only hope, really, against this master deceiver, is Jesus. Yahshua the Messiah is at work for us. The Bible tells us that He is interceding for us today. He is our Intercessor. With the help of the Holy Spirit, Jesus is visiting every single person on the face of the earth -- as long as there is life in a person, there is hope for that person. If we confess our sins to Him, He will forgive us.
The Holy Spirit, the third member of the Godhead, is working desperately with every person on the face of the earth, right now, from the mass murderers on death row to the policeman considering suicide, to the housewife thinking terrible thoughts with five screaming children, the next mail man considering going postal -- He is talking to you, right at this moment. The whole world has the Holy Spirit, He is a gift given to the whole world, not just a select few. He is not just given to "The Chosen." He is busy on your behalf, pleading with you to turn from darkness to the light.
It is like we are an egg, and the Holy Spirit -- called "The Spirit of Jesus" -- wants into us. He taps and taps on our shell, looking for any opening that we provide Him. He is tireless in His quest to bring us to reason. He desperately wants in, but He will not force His way in. In fact, He needs you to invite Him in.
Jesus stands at the door and knocks. That is what the Bible means. Jesus, through the Holy Spirit, wants into us. He is knocking, right now. He promises that if we open the door, He will come into us, He will dine with us, and He will draw close to us. God says that if we draw close to Him, that He will draw close to us. That's a pretty potent promise.
Once we open that door, Jesus will come into us. The Holy Spirit, the gift given to the whole world, then becomes the "Gift Giver." It is He that prepares us and equips us to aid God in saving as many people as possible. Now He is no longer on the outside of us, tapping on the shell, seeking a way in -- now He lives inside of us, and shines out of us at any opportunity, to show Jesus to the world.
He once was outside of us, like He is everybody on the face of this planet, but after we open the door He lives inside of us. We hand ourselves over to the Master Sculptor, and He begins at once to mold and shape the clay -- US!
We are on a sinking ship. We cannot afford to sit idly by, trusting that everything is going to be okay, that the Titanic is unsinkable. This Earth is not impervious. In fact, it is falling apart, even at this moment.
The Bible claims that Jesus is coming back soon, to destroy those who destroy the Earth, and that is exactly what man is doing, out of ignorance and out of greed and out of blatant stupidity. Man is destroying this planet. Secular scientists quickly agree, and state that the doomsday clock is ticking, right now, and that the clock is running at just a few minutes before Midnight -- and remember, these are secular scientists who for the most part are unconcerned with God. They feel it is up to man to save this planet -- but what do you think? If God promised one thing, can man establish something else?
God set us up as caretakers for this world, and we choose to destroy it with our decisions. He set us up as caretakers of all the animals, and we choose to eat all the animals, and the ones we're not crazy about eating, we slaughter out of blatant stupidity, pushing species after species into complete extinction. Some caretakers, us.
This world is going down, the scientists will tell you that. It's not a ridiculous sign held by "Doom Prophets" any longer. It is a certainty.
But that doesn't matter. This is not a message of fear, or doom, or hopelessness.
Because we have a lifeline. There really is hope for all of us. He is putting out His hand to you, asking for you to let Him in. And all you have to do, is say, "Yes, come in. I invite You. Accept me, save me, lead me, teach me. I want to know You, and the sound of Your voice."
Yahshua is alive today. He IS the Chosen One, and by accepting Him, by inviting Him in, WE become chosen. We are chosen in Him. We are SAVED in Him. Jesus lives. That's a fact.
And it is a fact that we are saved IN Him.
You don't have to run a hundred miles to be worthy. You don't have to give up smoking pot, or killing people, or sleeping with your best friend's wife, or making bombs to destroy the world. You don't have to memorize anyone's creed, or agree to their list of rules. You don't have to work yourself into an altered state. You don't have to psyche yourself up. And contrary to popular teaching, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TALK YOURSELF INTO IT, to make yourself believe, thus participating in "make-believe."
Just talk to Him, to Yahshua, Jesus the Christ. He's not a hard Man to talk to. His name is Wonderful, and He IS wonderful. He doesn't expect you to change even one iota, not one atom of your being -- He will meet you exactly where you are, whether it be in prison, in mansion, or living under the freeway in a cardboard box. Meet Him, draw close to Him, and open the door. Invite Him in, and He will come in.
Your life will begin to change, immediately. Not that you will TRY TO CHANGE, or that you must learn anyone's codebook or start going to a particular church on a particular day wearing particular clothes with a particular check written out and stored in a particular pocket of your particularly best Sunday suit. No, it will be the Holy Spirit inside of you that leads you to a new life, a new outlook, a new hope, a new destiny, new wisdom and new intelligence and new choices -- He will lead you into God's will, and it is so much better than anything we can figure out for ourself. Then smoking pot and killing people and sleeping with your best friend's wife and making bombs to destroy the world won't be quite as tasty to you. Because He will begin to change you, from the inside to the outside.
He is here, today, and today is the day of our salvation.
He is alive. He died for you. And He will accept you the moment you open the door, and your life will begin to improve from that moment on.
