The Stones Cry Out Part 1 & Part 2

Do you want to know how to prove the Zadok Calendar, the Enoch Calendar, and the Book of Jubilee Calendar false?

Do you want to know how the calendar issue became so confusing?

I go this awesome endorsement and I want to share it here now. with you.

In The Stones Cry Out, I walk you through the history of each change and why those changes came about, starting with the Maccabean days. Yes, it all began around 164 B.C. When Yehshua was here, he was dealing with two schools of thought. The Sadducees were all but wiped out when the Temple fell in 70 C.E. This left only the Pharisees, who began to be persecuted after the failure of the Bar Kochbah Revolt in 134 C.E.

The truth began to become out of focus around 160 C.E. when Rabbi Jose wrote the Seder Olam. This work originally was written to proof Simon Bar Kochbah was the Messiah. When that did not pan out the history was later revived and then redacted as the truth into the Mishneh Torah by Rabbi Judah ha Nasi in 180 C.E. After this the Jerusalem Talmud begins to debate these issues. It was then during this time as the Jerusalem Talmudist are forced to flee and the Babylonian Talmudist continue to grow until the 6th century that Hillel came up with a solution to help them keep the Holy Days at the proper time while they were out of the land of Israel. He did this in 358 C.E. This work was then modified and adjusted over the next 800 years with additions added and other rejected. Until it was finally redacted once again in 1177 by Rambam. And with that we now have the modern Hillel calendar which includes the errors passed on during each redaction. These errors included the time of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years.

Once the Temple was destroyed in 70 C.E., the Jews recorded time by counting from the time It was destroyed. This is why the 40 tombstones of Zoar, which record this information, are crucial to understand.

When you understand why the Postponement rules were first created so that the crescent moon would not be seen in another part of the world before it was seen in Israel then you can understand how they were still trying to follow the crescent moon to begin the month. The Tombstones show us this exact thing. The tombstones also show us when the Jews changed from a crescent moon to a Conjunction moon to begin the month. They also show us when the Jews changed the year from the month of Aviv to the Tishri to begin the year.

I really want you to understand these things so you know why you do what you do as far as following a calendar to keep Yehovah’s moedim.

I would like to add this recent comment to encourage you all to get this book and learn these truths. And the Book is FREE. You have no reason not to get it.

Most people assume that Hillel created the calendar in 358 C.E. They then assume that because it was a Sanhedrin, they are not allowed to change in order to obey Yehovah. The Hillel calendar has been changed many times since 358 C.E. up until 1177 C.E. Few people talk about these changes but we do in our latest Book The Stones Cry Out Part 1 which is free on our website. The Hillel calendar was changed on many occasions and many sought to make other changes during this time. They never needed a Bet Din to approve those changes. They just did them. So this excuse that we do not have the right to obey Yehovah because the Bet Din has not approved it is a crock of crap.
You have the obligation to obey Yehovah. You have the duty to prove which calendar you are to go by. You must prove it beyond all doubt. Yehshua never followed the Hillel calendar. Nor did any of the Apostles.
The reason no man can know the day or the hour is because it refers to a crescent moon to begin the 7th month. That is the day He was born on and the day He comes to judge on. At a day and hour no one can know. Using the Hillel calendar predicts Yom Teruah years in advance so every one knows when to keep it. But even in the Hillel calendar they keep two days of Yom Teruah reckoning back to the sighted moon. Also in the postponement rules developed long after Hillel, they again state that if the conjunction is at a certain time then the day begins at such and such, in order that the moon will not be seen in another part of the world before it is seen in Israel. That was rule number 2.
Everyone has to choose. You have the right to be wrong. But if you choose to be wrong then you also must live with the consequences that come with sin. And that is the death penalty for not keeping the Holy Days, these Sabbath at the proper time. It is your choice.
Just because you write in to me to justify your position does mean it is right. It just means your sounding off.

And yes, many observe the Equinox.  There are many who are deceived, improperly educated.  And this is why Joe puts out a newsletter every week, why he writes books, why the SightedMoon Zoom Shabbat service started, why he travels to places like England and the Philippines to share this message and why were are going to the NRB in February.  The calendar is always a divisive issue in social circles because the details are many, that’s why there are so many books Joe has written.  I’m not looking to put Joe on a pedestal here.  This is not about Joe worship.  But Joe has tenaciously studied out the calendar from every angle, not to prove himself right, to to seek to find and share what Yehovah is telling us about His Calendar.

In The Stones Cry Out, Joe has shared the history of all the different groups within Israel, and the beliefs they had about the scriptures and the feast days and the calendar.  When you line it all up, you can see for yourself the how and why these misunderstandings and arguments about how and where and why  they came about.

This is my new favourite book and I’m only 60-70 pages in.  And I encourage you to read the footnotes in this one.  Sometimes there’s more footnote on the page than Joe’s words.

When I wrote Stones Cry Out, I wanted it to be one of our FREE books so everyone would have it. It is more of an encyclopedia than a book to read. It will be your quick resource book; you will have access to every question about any calendar, how it got started, and who started it. You will also learn the history of how the Mishnah was assembled, when it was assembled and why. Then, you will learn how that information was transferred into both the Jerusalem and the Babylonian Talmud until it reached its final stage in the Mishneh Torah. Along with this progression, the calendar also progressed and changed long after 358 C.E. when Rabbi Hillel first published it. But…what was before the Hillel calendar? What does the Mishnah record about those things?

The Stones Cry Out was originally going to be one book explaining all the various proofs we have discovered, demonstrating when the Sabbatical and Jubilee years are throughout history.

You can know; it is not a mystery.

As I began to write The Stones Cry Out, I quickly found myself going back, time and time again, to explain how the calendar is behind the confusion of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. The Rabbis, as they began to write the Mishnah, incorporated wrong understandings, and those errors were written into what became known as the Talmud and then the Mishneh Torah. The expulsion from the land and subsequent persecutions in trying to send out messengers to report the barley being found or the crescent moon being seen, proved to be more and more dangerous over time. All of these things took place over 14 centuries.

Then as I was working on The Stones Cry Out, I discovered that many people were now accepting the Zadok calendar as factual. This is when we pivoted to include all the details of the various calendars that have crept back into public knowledge today and are being used to mislead new people who are just starting to learn about the calendar. All of this was directly connected to the period starting with the Hasmonaeans, up to the destruction of the Temple. Then, with the compiling of the Mishnah, the studies that led into the writing of the Jerusalem Talmud, then the Babylonian Talmud and finally the Mishneh Torah, each error that was added is compounded over time.

The Stones Cry Out, Part 1 explains the history of how each compilation of the Oral Torah incorporated errors, leading the followers thereof away from the actual Torah. In understanding these facts, it is then possible to understand more readily how the Sabbatical and Jubilee years were then mixed and later changed. By explaining all this history, I will be able to help you the reader understand the tombstones when most authorities do not. They have assumed, to their error, the Hillel calendar to have always been in use since Mount Sinai. Not understanding the history of the calendars is why most authorities dismiss the tombstones as too confusing to use. Once you understand The Stones Cry Out Part 1, Part 2 will be very easy to grasp.

Daniel 7:25 tells us he will change the appointed seasons and commandments. Many assume Constantine did this when he made Sunday the Sabbath. Few have considered the calendar’s many changes and how they relate to us today. Hidden in this proverbial swamp of confusion is the truth about the Sabbatical and Jubilee years. The Sabbatical and Jubilee years reveal the truths about the calendar that have been hidden for almost 2000 years.

We are in the very last days and Yehshua warned us that during this time:

Mat 24:10 And then many will be offended, and will betray one another, and will hate one another.

Mat 24:11 And many false prophets will rise and deceive many.

Mat 24:12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many will become cold.

Mat 24:13 But he who endures to the end, the same shall be kept safe.

Paul also warned Timothy about these last days, warning that some would leave the truth and begin to follow demonic teachers:

1Ti 4:1 But the Spirit expressly says that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and teachings of demons,

Paul again warned the Thessalonians that the Great Falling away would take place in the last days. How can you fall away if you have never come to know the truth? So who is Paul talking to? Those who are called and answer that calling begin to walk this road of restoration back to Yehovah, and then at some point along that walk, they change and leave this walk following the teachings of demons to false calendar.

2Th 2:1 Now we beseech you, my brothers, with regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him,

2Th 2:2 that you should not be soon shaken in mind or troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word or letter, as through us, as if the Day of Christ is at hand.

2Th 2:3 Let not anyone deceive you by any means. For that Day shall not come unless there first comes a falling away, and the man of sin shall be revealed, the son of perdition,

2Th 2:4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, setting himself forth, that he is God.

We must endure until the end. We must not let ourselves become offended by personalities and leave the faith once given.

Counting of the Omer

When counting the Omer, someone is surely going to ask you or say it publicly: where are we commanded to count the Omer?

When you are asked this then you will take them to Lev 23:15

“You shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering. You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you shall present a grain offering of new grain to the Lord.

The English word sheaf is the Hebrew word Omer.

H6016   (Brown-Driver-Briggs) עמר ‛ômer

BDB Definition:

1) omer

1a) a dry measure of 1/10 ephah (about 2 litres)

2) sheaf

Here, you are told that there are two different methods of counting the 50 days. The first was to count 7 full weeks and the second was to count out the full 50 days.

Again, in Deut 16:9, you are told to COUNT. It is a commandment to count the days and/or weeks. You start from the time the sickle is first put to the Barley grain, which was done after sunset, after the weekly Saturday Sabbath. This counting began with Wave Sheaf Day. It is because of Deut 16:9 that you can not harvest before as some claim until Wave Sheaf Day or Saturday evening after sunset.

“You shall count seven weeks. Begin to count the seven weeks from the time the sickle is first put to the standing grain.

According to some the commandment ‘and you shall count for yourselves fifty days’ means to simply observe the 50th day as Shavuot while others actually declare out loud the number on each of the fifty days. A medieval Karaite Jewish practice combines two different methods of declaring the daily count. The first method is the counting of seven weeks. Each day, the number of the week and the number of the day in the week are declared. So for example, the first day is ‘first day of the first week’. The second counting method used is an overall number for each day. In this method Day one is ‘the first day’ and Day 25 is ‘the twenty-fifth day’. These two methods are used to satisfy the commandment to count seven weeks (Deuteronomy 16:9) as well as the commandment to count fifty days (Leviticus 23:16).

During each one of these days of Counting the Omer to Pentecost, Jewish tradition has developed around reading the Psalms on certain days. I find this to be very beneficial. It is customary that following the “Counting of the Omer,” one recites Psalm 67, for according to tradition, that Psalm has forty-nine words, which corresponds perfectly to the forty-nine days of the “Counting of the Omer.”

And as you meditate on and do these readings, which includes the Counting of the Omer command, keep in mind what this symbolizes. It is the counting of the Sabbatical and Jubilee Years and where we are in that cycle. We are in the thirtieth year in 2025, which corresponds to the thirtieth day of the “Counting of the Omer.”

Wave Sheaf day is so exciting to understand and amazing to believe because it forebodes when we will be changed and raised. If you want to call this the Rapture then I can except that if you are obeying Yehovah. If you’re not obeying Yehovah and you think the laws are done away with, then you will not be in this resurrection or raptured. You will be told to be gone you workers of lawlessness, I never knew you.

We will speak more about this as Pentecost draws closer. It is the Feast of Oaths, the 8th day of the Jubilee year.

When you count from the Wave offering of the barley to Pentecost, it is called the counting of the Omer. You are to count each day up to the 50th day. This Sunday, March 16, 2025, is day one. We are to count the Omer.

As I said, this is the most special time of year for me and in years past I couldn’t put my finger on exactly why, other than it had something to do with Yehshua’s resurrection and waiting in anticipation for Shavuot. While I cannot put into words how my understanding of this has grown, all I can say is that “it clicked!” and “now I get it!”, at least more than before. Understanding follows obedience. So OBEY and learn. You learn by doing as we are told in James.

James 2:18 But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder! Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless? Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? You see that faith was active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. And in the same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

Shalom Joe,
I spoke with you a couple of weeks ago about my trying to confirm Yeshua is Yehovah.  I do understand that, but I struggled with the command to pray in His name, meaning Yeshua.

I’ll begin with this verse since we have a Hebrew translation of it even though the Shem Tob Matthew isn’t totally reliable.

Mat_28:19-20  Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

You encouraged me to pray to Yehovah and close with “to Yehovah be the glory” as a substitute for “in the name of Yeshua I pray or B’shem Yeshua”.  You said to try it, test it, see if anything changes in my prayers or life.  Well, change they did.  Scripture itself seems to confirm to me now that we indeed pray only to Yehovah and I close giving glory to Him.

The next newsletter I reviewed after speaking to you is filled with little gems.  You mentioned the above passage in reference to a Sabbatical Year “rant”, that being the charge to go to all nations teaching all things, except the need to obey Sabbatical Years.  Lol.  Well this reminded me the above passage doesn’t align with the Shem Tob Hebrew Matthew version by George Howard.  It reads:

19 Go and (teach) them to carry out all the things which I have commanded you forever.

So now one has to ask, Why would Yeshua send them to “all nations” when He had previously told them to only go to “the lost sheep of the House of Yisra’?l?  He likewise directed Paul as to where to go.   I am also certain Yeshua would never tell them to baptize in a trinity of names. I bring this passage up to show the changes made to the Renewed Covenant by the Catholic Church and we have no idea what we can trust regarding other verses.

“The Scriptures” version points out the phrase added in the KJV and those translations based on it, have added the directive to go to all nations baptizing in multiple names of the trinity. There is no reason to pray “in the name” when you are already praying to Yehovah unless we need to recognize the work of Messiah in forgiveness of our sins.

I then noticed this passage:

Joh 12:12  On the next day a great crowd who had come to the festival, when they heard that Yeshua was coming to Yerushalayim,13  took the branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and were crying out, “Hoshia-na! Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of hwhy, the Sovereign of Yisra’el!”14  And Yeshua, having found a young donkey, sat on it, as it has been written:15  “Do not fear, daughter of Tsiyon, see, your Sovereign is coming, sitting on the colt of a donkey.

”Here we have the people saying ‘in the Name of Yehovah, the Sovereign of Yisra’?l .  Then we see Yeshua agreeing with this statement by saying ‘see, your Sovereign is coming’. He is saying He is Yehovah, the Sovereign, and He seems to be agreeing with the statement,  ‘Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of Yehovah’.  No where do we see this corrected to Yeshua instead of Yehovah, now that Yeshua has come nor do we see Yeshua’s name added to Yehovah’s name.

Then, this was the real eye opener and provided confirmation beyond my expectation.  I have to give credit to Craig Peters in his article “The Prophet Mosheh and the Name of YHVH”. This article is listed under the “Recommended Reading” tab of Newsletter articles.

http://www.yahuyahweh.org/iah/pdf/SSS_HaMisparim_LaDebarim_Prophet_Mosheh_and_Name_of_YHWH.pdf

Craig explains that El Shaddai has a root of Shadad meaning a destructive force.  As Craig indicated and I verified with my own search, we almost always see Yehovah’s title of El Shaddai associated with the wrath of destruction.  Job always refers to Yah as El Shaddai in the many references in the book of Job.  We see El Shaddai in a comforting manner in this passage:

Psa 91:1-4  He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High, Who abides under the shadow of the Almighty, (El Shaddai in the Hebrew) 2  He is saying of hwhy, “My refuge and my stronghold, My Elohim, in whom I trust!” 3  For He delivers you from the snare of a trapper, From the destructive pestilence. 4  He covers you with His feathers, And under His wings you take refuge; His truth is a shield and armour.

Now, LOOK at this!!!!  This is simply amazing and finalizes once and for all that Yeshua is Yehovah is El Shaddai and the Aleph Tav. He brings covering and deliverance as well as the wrath of destruction.

We see the Aleph Tav as the creator in the first sentence in the Torah:

Gen 1:1  In the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.

Bereshit bara Elohim et (aleph tav) hashamayim ve’et (aleph tav) ha’arets

(The word translated ‘et’ is the Hebrew aleph tav)

The Rabbi’s struggled for millennia as to who was the Aleph Tav if there is only one Elohim. John answers this question in the first sentence of His letter.

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word (aleph tav in Hebrew), and the Word (aleph tav) was with Elohim, and the Word (aleph tav) was Elohim. 2  He was in the beginning with Elohim.

So now we know “the Word” is the aleph tav is Yeshua.

Next we see John connect the Aleph Tav which was from the beginning with YHVH (Yehovah) and  “I AM” and El Shaddai. When you read Craig’s explanation that the name “I AM”  means “who is and who was and who is to come” AND that this is what the name  YHVH represents, it just comes together!

Rev 1:7  See, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye shall see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth shall mourn because of Him. Yes, Am?n. 8  “I am the ‘Aleph’ and the ‘Taw’, Beginning and End,” says hwhy “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

The Greek word for ‘the Almighty’ is pantokrator G3841 meaning the omnipotent almighty absolute and universal sovereign!  In Hebrew, I believe we would see the name El Shaddai.

This is simply phenomenal to me.  This ONE verse right here in the Renewed Covenant proclaims the Aleph Tav is Yehovah is ‘I AM’ is El Shaddai.  When combined with John 1:1 we also have the linkage of the Aleph Tav to ‘the Word’, Yeshua.

And as I was writing this up to send to you, I found another verse:

Isa 53:10  But hwhy was pleased to crush Him, He laid sickness on Him, that when He made Himself an offering for guilt, He would see a seed, He would prolong His days and the pleasure of hwhy prosper in His hand.

See that?  He (Yehovah) made HIMSELF an offering for guilt.

CASE CLOSED!!!!

Thank you Joseph for all your teachings on proving Yeshua is Yehovah and your sharing this article from Craig.  Seeing Craig’s explanation of what El Shaddai and “I AM” mean and reviewing the verses for myself, makes it more clear to me.  This ONE verse says it all.

And yes, I am seeing MUCH happen since we talked two weeks ago.  I am totally convinced of praying “to the glory of YEHOVAH!”.

Now, here is another comment you make from “That Still Small Voice” and it ties in with the above.

“Eric Bissell said this time of the end is Ayin Dalet- Ayin Tav. And I can even understand this one. It is saying seal up the prophecy until people can see the Door, until people can see Jehovah, the Aleph Tav. Ayin is eye and Dalet is door. Ayin is eye and Tav is Aleph Tav, Yehovah.”

End Quote

Joseph, I wrote you before about what that dream meant from my perspective.  Totally off the wall and certainly couldn’t say any revelation behind it, but it is what I felt. In your dream the Hebrew Roots teachers are waiting for you to join them.  You are in an outer room trying to find the door apparently to join them.  I wondered WHY would you want to find this door so you could join the Hebrew Roots teachers. Well, after reading the above “gem” in this same article (you were really on a roll without realizing it), I am more convinced then ever you don’t want THAT door.  But, the DOOR you DO WANT is the door you found.  The door that leads to WHO Yehovah is and His heart; the teaching of HIS will and HIS laws via the Sabbatical and Jubilee years; the sighted moon and abiv barley FOR wave sheaf offering and not by 1st day of 1st month; the PROPER timing of ALL the Holy Days.

The TESTING that has enabled you to endure and come out stronger and smarter.  The endurance that has enabled you to share with so many to the point we stand with you by knowing and finding the TRUE DOOR that has led to Yehovah.  You found it via your persistence in seeking out the Hebrew meanings, endless studying, endless researching, learning pieces large and small from many other teachers and then the countless hours to put it all together to teach others.

THE DOOR FOUND YOU the day you stood up and said I WILL in response to who will stand in the gap.  Joseph, you FOUND the DOOR!  The DOOR is Yehovah and recognizing that Yeshua is Yehovah in the flesh and we pray TO Yehovah and not in the name of Yeshua, but in the name of Yehovah, the ONE Elohim, our Redeemer and our Deliverer!  Someday the Hebrew Roots teachers may just find that door too and start teaching the truth instead of unity in man’s traditions.

Now, I have to admit that I’m unsettled in my mind again. I did a search on “in the name” in the Renewed Covenant.  Here are some examples.

I see this in Luke:

Luk_13:35  “See, your House is left to you laid waste. And truly I say to you, you shall by no means see Me until the time comes when you say, ‘Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of hwhy!’ ”

Luk_19:38  saying, “ ‘Blessed is the Sovereign who is coming in the Name of hwhy!

When Yehovah put on flesh and came as the Lamb the first time, His name was Yeshua, Yehovah’s salvation.  When Yehovah, our Messiah, comes the 2nd time, in the flesh, He will have a name we don’t yet know, but He will still be “the Sovereign who is coming in the Name of YHVH”.

Right? Just as Yehovah Tzevuot, who brings judgement, is still the Sovereign who is coming in the Name of YHVH.

Then we see these verses:

Act_2:38  And Kepha said to them, “Repent, and let each one of you be immersed in the Name of Yeshua Messiah for the forgiveness of sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Set-apart Spirit.

Act_4:10  let it be known to all of you, and to all the people of Yisra’el, that in the Name of Yeshua Messiah of Natsareth, whom you impaled, whom Elohim raised from the dead, by Him this one stands before you, healthy.

Act_8:16  for He had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been immersed in the Name of the Master Yeshua.

Act_9:27  But Barnaba took him and brought him to the emissaries, and told them how he had seen the Master on the way, and that He had spoken to him, and how he was speaking boldly at Dammeseq in the Name of Yeshua.

Act_9:29  and speaking boldly in the Name of the Master Yeshua and disputed with the Hellenists, but they undertook to kill him.

1Co_6:11  And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were set apart, but you were declared right in the Name of the Master Yeshua and by the Spirit of our Elohim.

Eph_5:20  giving thanks always for all to Elohim the Father, in the Name of our Master Yeshua Messiah,

Col_3:17  And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Master Yeshua, giving thanks to Elohim the Father through Him.

2Th_3:6  But we command you, brothers, in the Name of our Master Yeshua Messiah, that you withdraw from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the tradition which you received from us.

1Jn_3:23  And this is His command, that we should believe in the Name of His Son Yeshua Messiah and love one another, as He gave us command.

Jas_5:14  Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with oil in the Name of the Master.

Act_3:6  But Kepha said, “I do not have silver and gold, but what I do possess, this I give you: In the Name of Yeshua Messiah of Natsareth, rise up and walk.”

The problem with these verses is we don’t know if the exact wording is accurate.  We do know we need to recognize the work of Yeshua, the Messiah, as the Lamb that took our sins upon Him to set us free.  We must know He died and resurrected from the dead.  Could the wording of several of these verse imply more of an acknowledging the work of Messiah Yeshua as the Lamb for forgiveness of sin still realizing that Yeshua IS Yehovah in the flesh.  When John in Revelations shows Yeshua is the Aleph Tav and the Aleph Tav is YHVH (Yehovah) and is ALSO El Shaddai and the “I AM”, I know there is no separate being.  They are all Yehovah in spirit or flesh.

I’m trying now to reconcile these verses and they are throwing me again; especially the final two.  In the final verse above, I can see needing the forgiveness of sin to bring deliverance from the effects of sin (disease/plague/sickness), but we’re back to praying in the name of Yeshua for healing and therefore by extension, all our prayers.

Before this study, I was seeing Yeshua as our High Priest and we needed to pray in the name of Yeshua as our intermediary between us and Yehovah.  Then, I decided Yeshua is Yehovah ,therefore Yehovah is our High Priest (in yet another ‘role’), we don’t need to pray in the name of Yeshua, but rather Yehovah, therefore all glory to Him.  The High Priest is just another ‘role’ as is Yehovah Tzevuot another ‘role’.  NOW, I have to say Acts 3:6 really stumps me if the wording is indeed accurate.

Please Help!

oh my, just had to add this.  I know I’m right…YOU’re right…..that Elijah is US.

Elijah was followed by Elisha who went on to do mightier and more works the Elijah

Then Yeshua says:

Joh 14:11  “Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, otherwise believe Me because of the works themselves.12  “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he shall do also. And greater works than these he shall do, because I go to My Father.13  “And whatever you ask in My Name, that I shall do, in order that the Father might be esteemed in the Son.14  “If you ask whatever in My Name, I shall do it.

If WE KNOW THE FATHER and that Yeshua is the LAMB of Yehovah’s salvation, but Messiah is THE FATHER in the FLESH, then we can pray confidently.

WE WILL DO MORE then Elijah and Elisha. This is our day, our time!

I’m jumping out of my chair with excitement Joe.  I can’t breath from the anxiety of excitement.  LOOK AT THIS!!!!

I really don’t think the original word is to be translated as “am in”. G1722 shows a relationship.

The Greek word G1722 has been translated to “am in”.  They SEEM TO HAVE ADDED!!!!  This Greek word shows relationship.

It could be saying this:

John 14:11  “Believe Me that I AM (not am in) the Father and the Father is Me,

OR   THE GREAT I AM !!!!!!!!

JOHN HAS to be picking up on Yeshua’s usage of “I AM” which means “YHVH”   YEHOVAH!!!!!  So it is a play on words as well

John 14:11  “Believe Me that I am  YEHOVAH the Father and the Father is Me, THE I AM,

What do you think?

Jan

PSS

I’m sorry to keep bugging you.  I’m have no one else to talk to to share this with.  You’re the only one “getting it”.  John ALREADY knows beyond any doubt that Yeshua is the aleph tav and IS YHVH and IS El Shaddai the creator. John does NOT know the term “Father” except from the Prophets that indicate in the future YHVH will be called Father. John isn’t about to suddenly see them as two separate beings.  He knows beyond a doubt Yeshua is Yehovah in the flesh and is the  I AM.

Therefore…..

THERE ARE DEFINITE MIS-TRANSLATIONS from this GREEK.  The one is know for certain is “My Name” SHOULD BE “THE NAME”   MY is 1st person singular and it should be 2nd or 3rd person.

THIS ALONE OPENS THIS WIDE OPEN!!!!!!!!!

ALL THOSE VERSES I mentioned before about praying in the name of Yeshua for healing…..PRAY IN THE NAME for healing.  THE NAME is YEHOVAH!!!!!   So I’m thinking that

Joh 14:10  “Do you not believe that I (am ALTOGETHER – G1722) the Father, and the Father is (altogether G1722 – it shows the relationship of I to Father) Me?

The words that I speak to you I do not speak from Myself. But the Father (who stays in G1722 OR who is absolutely)   Me does His works.

Joh 14:11  “Believe Me that I ( am in  G1722 OR absolutely am)  the Father and the Father (in  G1722   altogether absolutely is) Me, otherwise believe Me because of the works themselves.

(NOTICE THAT reference back to his works of giving sight to the blind and raising from the dead…only Messiah can do this and the prophets show us this is Yehovah)

Joh 14:12  “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes

in (G1519 – different word)

Me, the works that I do he shall do also. And greater works than these he shall do, because I go to My Father.

Joh 14:13  “And whatever you ask

(in  G1722 ? altogether and absolutely as)

My (G3588 – WRONG!   It is 2nd or 3rd person.  Is translated as  THE or THIS or THAT  I don’t think  MY qualifies at all. That is 1st person singular!!!)

Name, that I shall do, in order that the Father might be esteemed in (G1722 (same word always translated as “in”    – absolutely altogether) the Son.

Joh 14:14  “If you ask whatever in   (altogether same absolute) My  (G3588  – Should be translated as THE) Name, I shall do it.

NOW, in looking over Acts 3:6 in the name of jesus christ of nazareth rise up and walk

THE NAME is translated correctly.  THE is using G3588 which is translated incorrectly as MY in the above verses.  It is indeed THE NAME….

As to the rest, I don’t know if it is accurate or added by the pope.  I suspect it was added.  I simply can not see them healing in the name of Yeshua when JOHN (which seems to be a more trustworthy book) makes it clear to use THE NAME and THE NAME is and always will be YEHOVAH!

I AM That I AM – Obviously

I have taken this teaching from Nehemia on Gordon’s Nehemia’s Wall. https://www.nehemiaswall.com/the-great-i-am-revealed

It is the first half of the teaching and it is such an amazing teaching. As he says it is so obvious, but I had never been shown this before. So now this is my attempt at explaining it to you using some of his words and all of his charts. After reading this do go and watch the video. “Copyrighted material used by permission of Nehemia Gordon”.

The last half of this teaching from John 8:58 are my own words and not those of Nehemia.

In Exodus 3:14 we are told the name of Yehovah.

And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

The words I AM THAT I AM  are found in the strong’s as

H1961  hyh  ha^ya^h  haw-yaw’

A primitive root (compare H1933); to exist, that is, be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary): – beacon, X altogether, be (-come, accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass), continue, do, faint, fall, + follow, happen, X have, last, pertain, quit (one-) self, require, X use.

H834   rca   ‘a?sher   ash-er’

A primitive relative pronoun (of every gender and number); who, which, what, that; also (as adverb and conjunction) when, where, how, because, in order that, etc.: – X after, X alike, as (soon as), because, X every, for, + forasmuch, + from whence, + how (-soever), X if, (so) that ([thing] which, wherein), X though, + until, + whatsoever, when, where (+ -as, -in, -of, -on, -soever, -with), which, whilst, + whither (-soever), who (-m, -soever, -se). As it is indeclinable, it is often accompanied by the personal pronoun expletively, used to show the connection.

H1961  hyh  ha^ya^h  haw-yaw’

A primitive root (compare H1933); to exist, that is, be or become, come to pass (always emphatic, and not a mere copula or auxiliary): – beacon, X altogether, be (-come, accomplished, committed, like), break, cause, come (to pass), continue, do, faint, fall, + follow, happen, X have, last, pertain, quit (one-) self, require, X use.

Here it is according to the Strongs edition.

hyh rca hyh Ahayeh Asher Ahayeh

And here it is again with the implied Aleph for “I”.

hyha rca hyha Ahayeh Asher Ahayeh

In the English, this is translated as I AM THAT I AM has Sent me and that I AM has sent me. Now this expression I AM is further translated into English to be the words LORD all spelt with capital letters to show it is supposed to be GOD.

So many people say the great I AM or THE LORD when they refer to the Creator.

Please look in the Chumash or the Strongs or the Interlinear translations and learn your Hebrew letters. I use large letters so you can see them.

Here it is again with the vowel pointing.

And below are the Hebrew Vowel Pointing that I have taken from our teaching series by Uri Harel which you can view at our Vimeo site.

So, now practice saying Ehyeh Ashur Ehyeh out loud.

We then read what Yehovah says to Moses on what His name is.

Exodus 3:14 Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

The word Jehovah here is YHVH and in Hebrew is spelt hwhy.  But in my translation, I am using above which is the English Standard version, they have Jehovah hwhy YHVH and not hyha Ehyeh.

How did they go from I AM to Yehovah in that one sentence?  Yehovah YHVH (Yod Heh Vav Heh).

I understand there are many people with many versions of how to say the name. And they have gotten it from various sources. I want to walk you through the proper Hebrew Grammar and see if we can learn a few things along the way.

Many modern versions of the bible will have Jehovah instead of Yehovah. The J used to be sounded out like the Y as in Yoseph. Today I am called Joseph. Now the Yeh sound has become the Jeh sound.

When you speak and understand Hebrew the relationship between these two words, these two names is OBVIOUS. But you and I do not speak Hebrew so we must walk through this exercise in order to learn what the name of our Father is.

Ex 3:14 Ehyeh Ashur Ehyeh

Ehyeh has sent me to you

Ex 3:15 YHVH this is my name forever

Hoveh Hayah Yiyeh He is, He was and He will be.

Now to learn some Hebrew Grammar

Ehyeh is not the name. It is the key to His name. HYH hyh “to be”

Ehyeh tells us the root of the word. All Hebrew words have a three letter root in them. This word EHYEH has the root HYH hyh as the root.

This verse also tells us the Conjugation of the word and that conjugation is Qal. There are 7 conjugations that could be used which is taught to you in Hebrew grammar. But by looking at the word Ehyeh a person who knows Hebrew knows this word is from the Qal conjugation which is key to understanding the name. Qal means easy or basic.

There are the EYTAN Letters which are the 4 prefixes of future (imperfect) verbs.

The Eytan letters are

Aleph a I will

Yod  y  He Will

Tav t  She Will

Nun  n We Will

By adding any one of these letters to the beginning of a future verb you change it from I will, to He will or she will or we will. Just by changing this one letter.

And this is where we get the EYTN letters Eytan acrostic from the abbreviation of the first letters.

Now, as soon as you see this you will begin to know something is going on.

In Exodus 3 Yehovah is saying I am that I am. Ehyeh ashur Ehyeh. And then in the very next verse, Yehovah says YHVH hwhy  That yod of YHVH is obvious in Hebrew and is coming from Yihyeh for He will Be.

Now the next question is why is His name YHVH and not YHYH? Again why is His name spelt hwhy and not hyhy? Where did the vav w come from? And again for the Hebrew speaking person, this is obvious.

When we look at the spelling of the word Yihyeh verses YHVH the difference is the yod for the vav. Where did the Vav come from. It comes from the present tense of the verb “to be”.

Now you have Yihyeh and Hoveh.

Do keep in mind what Rabbi Yoseph Bechor Shor said on Exodus 3:14.

Where did the Rabbi get the HAYAH from?

And now here is the part that was just too obvious to talk about. But when Nehemiah shared this it absolutely blew my mind at just how obvious and just how simple this is to know the proper pronunciation of the name of our Father.

Yi Hov ah YiHovah

The Yod of Yihyeh, the Hov Hoveh and the ah Hayah. Yihovah.

This is so obvious to Jews based on the Hebrew grammar alone.

Here is the video of Nehemia teaching what I have shared with you above.

New Testament I AM- Again Obvious

John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am.

Before Abraham was Eg-o I-mee in the Greek which does not help us to know exactly what was being said by Yehshua and what was meant by the saying I AM.

Yehshua was Jewish and speaking Hebrew not Greek.

I believe Yehshua said before Abraham was “I AM”,  which is obvious for hwhy .

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

That WORD was Yehovah, hwhy and became flesh as we are told in John 1:14

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.

Read once again carefully what Isaiah 9 is telling us.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Prov 30:4 Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in His hands? Who has bound up the waters in His cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is the name of His Son— surely you know!

The answer is Yehovah!

This child that is to be born was to be Yehovah the Father.

Deut 6:4 Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah: and thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

One God and His name is Yehovah not two gods or a trinity of gods. ONE God.

We read in Micah 5:2  that this one who is to come from Bethlehem that His goings forth are from of old, from everlasting. Who is that?

But thou, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, which art little to be among the thousands of Judah, out of thee shall one come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.

Yihyeh Hoveh Hayah, He who will be, He who is, and He who was. This is the one whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.

Now read again Mat 1:23

Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, And they shall call his name Immanuel; which is, being interpreted, God with us.

Now reconsider Hebrew 13:8

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and to-day, yea and for ever.

It is the same as Yehovah only backwards. Yihyeh Hoveh Hayah, He who will be, He who is, and He who was.

In Revelation, it too says the one who is, Hoveh; Who was, Hayah;  Who is to come, Yihyeh.

Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they that pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.

Notice also that He is coming as the Shekinah in the clouds and He is the one whom we pierced. Who was that? We know Him as Yehshua and as Jesus. But in truth it was Yehovah.

Psalm 22:12 Many bulls have compassed me; Strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
They gape upon me with their mouth, As a ravening and a roaring lion.
I am poured out like water, And all my bones are out of joint: My heart is like wax; It is melted within me.
My strength is dried up like a potsherd; And my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; And thou hast brought me into the dust of death.
For dogs have compassed me: A company of evil-doers have inclosed me; They pierced my hands and my feet.
I may count all my bones; They look and stare upon me.
They part my garments among them, And upon my vesture do they cast lots.

Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplication; and they shall look unto me whom they have pierced; and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his first-born.

Also, I wanted to point out in Rev 1:7 that He is the Alpha and the Omega. In Hebrew, this would be the Aleph and the Tav. It is also written as the First and the Last.

Rev 1:7 Behold, he cometh with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they that pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Even so, Amen.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.

Rev 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not; I am the first and the last, and the Living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

Rev 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Rev 2:8 And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These things saith the first and the last, who was dead, and lived again:

Rev 22:13 Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to render to each man according as his work is. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

These scripture in revelation are a direct relation to those found in Isaiah.

Isaiah 41:4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Jehovah, the first, and with the last, I am he. The isles have seen, and fear; the ends of the earth tremble; they draw near, and come.

Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of hosts: I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God.

Isaiah 48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob, and Israel my called: I am he; I am the first, I also am the last. Yea, my hand hath laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand hath spread out the heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up together.

Do you understand what it is you are reading? It was Yehovah that we killed on the Tree and pierced. He was the First and the Last, the Aleph and the Tav that died for us. Yehshua is Yehovah.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
The Father Revealed
“If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”
Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”
Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

Yeshua also said He was the way and the Truth: I am the way and the truth and the life. The Hebrew word for truth is emet: tma It contains the first letter Aleph a the middle letter Mem m and the last letter Tav t of the Hebrew alphabet. The Jewish sages say that this implies that the truth contains everything from Aleph to Tav:

The Hebrew word emet has a more concrete meaning than the English word for “truth” (the English word derives from the Greek/Western view of truth as a form of correspondence between language and reality, but invariably languished over epistemological questions that led, ultimately, to skepticism). In the Hebraic mindset, the person who acts in emet is one who can be trusted (Gen. 24:49? 42:16? 47:26? Josh. 2:14). Actions, speech, reports, or judgment are emet because they are reliable (Dt. 13:14? 22:20? 1 Kings 10:6? 22:16? Pr. 12:19? Zech. 8:16). If a seed is a seed of emet, its quality is trustworthy (Jer. 2:21).

In the Tanakh, emet is often coupled with chesed, covenant faithfulness, which designates God’s loyalty in fulfilling his promises and his covenant. For example, God’s emet and chesed were majestically revealed in giving the covenant at Sinai (Ex. 34:6).

The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth (Exodus 34:6).

Indeed, Pilate’s question, “What is truth?” is a category mistake, since truth is not about “what” but about “Who.” That is, truth is not something objective and static, a thing to be known and studied from a distance. No. Truth is essentially personal. It is personal disclosure of the character of the subject. Understood in this way, truth is a way of living, a mode of existence, a relational truth.

Interestingly, Aleph and Tav form a unique word that functions as a “direct object marker” in the both Biblical and modern Hebrew:  ta 

As it is written in Genesis 1:1, “In the beginning God (ALEPH/TAV) created the heavens and the earth.”

Considered this way, Jesus is the Direct Object of the Universe, the End (sof) of all of creation. And not only is Jesus the End of all creation, but He is the “Beginning of the Creation of God,” the Creator and Sustainer of all things: “For by him were all things created that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible.
