Mitswah \u2013 His Terms and Conditions<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In our quest to get to \u201cyada\u2019<\/em> \u2013 know\u201d Yahowah even better, and to better \u201cbyn<\/em> \u2013 understand\u201d what He is offering and wants from us in return, this is an ideal time to consider the statements Yahowah wrote with His own hand. On the first of the two tablets, God summarized His message to humankind, providing an essential perspective from which to understand everything He would reveal to us in His Towrah. On the second, He taught us how to live our lives.<\/p>\n

As always, these translations are amplified, providing you with a more complete rendering of Yahowah\u2019s advice. In addition, they include the Hebrew words themselves, because it is vitally important that you take the time to verify their meanings. In all things you should trust God, not man (including me).<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) God <\/strong>(\u2018elohym \u2013 <\/em>the Almighty) conveyed <\/strong>(dabar \u2013 <\/em>communicated, spoke, and wrote, provided instruction and direction with) all of<\/strong> (kol<\/em>) these statements, using words <\/strong>(dabar \u2013<\/strong><\/em> statements and promises),<\/strong> providing perspective<\/strong> (\u2018eleh<\/em> \u2013 from a relatively close vantage point) in our presence<\/strong> (\u2018eth<\/em> \u2013 in association with us and in proximity to us), saying <\/strong>(\u2018amar<\/em> \u2013 explaining, claiming, answering, counseling, warning, and promising):\u2026\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Religious institutions are wont to call what follows \u201cThe Ten Commandments.\u201d But according to \u201c\u2018elohym<\/em> \u2013 God Almighty,\u201d their Author, He \u201cdabar<\/em> \u2013 conveyed and communicated\u201d \u201cdabar<\/em> \u2013 statements using words.\u201d These \u201cstatements\u201d are not numbered, and He did not call them \u201ccommandments.\u201d There are few things more relevant to developing a relationship with God than understanding this.<\/p>\n

Then on the top right of the first of these two stone tablets, the Creator of the universe and Author of life, wrote\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI am <\/strong>(\u2018anky<\/em>) Yahowah <\/strong>(efei),<\/strong> your God <\/strong>(\u2018elohym<\/em> \u2013 the Mighty One (suffixed in the second person singular),<\/strong> who relationally <\/strong>(\u2018asher \u2013 <\/em>and who as a favor) brought you out and delivered you <\/strong>(yatsa\u2019<\/em> \u2013 I descended to serve you, extending Myself to guide you, doing everything which is required to lead those who respond away) from the realm <\/strong>(min \u2018erets<\/em> \u2013 out of the land and region) of the crucible of Egypt <\/strong>(mitsraym<\/em> \u2013 the smelting furnace where metals are refined and tested (a metaphor for judgment and oppression)), out of the house <\/strong>(min beyth<\/em> \u2013 from the home, household, family, and place) of slavery <\/strong>(\u2018ebed<\/em> \u2013 servitude, bondage, worship, and working for one\u2019s salvation). You shall not exist with <\/strong>(lo\u2019 hayah la<\/em> \u2013 you shall not be moving towards) other <\/strong>(\u2018aher<\/em> \u2013 someone else\u2019s, different, extra, or additional) gods <\/strong>(\u2018elohym<\/em>) in relation to <\/strong>(\u2018al<\/em> \u2013 near, before, or in proximity to, or in addition to) My presence <\/strong>(paneh<\/em>).\u201d <\/strong>(Shemowth<\/em> \/ Names \/ Exodus 20:2-3)<\/p>\n

Please note: God began by introducing Himself, spelling out His name so that we might know it, etching \u201cefei\u201d in stone. He said that His Word would provide us with the perspective we would need to exist in His presence. He positioned Himself serving us, working as our savior and guide, personally leading us away from judgment and human oppression\u2014from works-based salvation schemes. And all He asks in return\u2014at least of those who wish to live in His presence\u2014is that we respond to Him and recognize that He alone is God.<\/p>\n

The first verb, \u201cyatsa\u2019<\/em> \u2013 I brought you out,\u201d was scribed using the hiphil stem while bearing the perfect conjugation. By considering what they collectively convey, we come to better understand how we are expected to respond to what God is offering. With the hiphil stem the object of the verb, in this case those God was leading, participate in the action. In other words, to benefit from God\u2019s willingness to deliver us from judgment we must recognize the offer and then respond. Such is the nature of the Covenant Relationship, where we must engage to participate. And such is the nature of our salvation, where we must answer Yah\u2019s invitation and walk to God along the path He has provided.<\/p>\n

By using the perfect conjugation, Yahowah is telling us that He has done everything that He can do, leaving nothing to be done. The perfect speaks of a completed action, irrespective of time. It reveals that God would, and now has, \u201cdescended to serve us, extending Himself to guide us, so that those who respond will be lead away from the crucible of human oppression and will be delivered from judgment.<\/p>\n

Therefore, when we reflect the full implications of the way yatsa\u2019<\/em> was written, God said: \u201cI have done everything which is required to lead those who respond away\u201d from the ill effects of subjugation.<\/p>\n

Should you not see the symbolism of brace of \u201cmitsraym<\/em> \u2013 crucibles\u201d representing human oppression and divine judgment, God spells it out for you with \u201cbeyth \u2018ebed<\/em> \u2013 the house of slavery and bondage.\u201d The epitome of religious, political, military, and economic oppression is enslavement and servitude. And the consequence of judgment is the loss of freedom and incarceration.<\/p>\n

The second verb, \u201chayah<\/em> \u2013 to exist,\u201d was modified with lo\u2019<\/em>, serving as a form of negation, thereby nullifying your existence. It was suffixed with la<\/em>, a preposition meaning \u201cto, toward, or concerning,\u201d telling us that there is a consequence that will move us in one direction or another. In addition, hayah<\/em> was suffixed in the third person singular: you, revealing that these words are all about us.<\/p>\n

More than this, hayah<\/em> was written in the qal stem and imperfect conjugation. This stem speaks of that which is genuine and actual, and should be interpreted literally as an expression of reality. That distinguishes from something which is hypothetical or symbolic. Therefore, it reads: \u201cyou literally will not exist.\u201d As the voice of relationships, the qal reveals that the subject of the verb, which would be you and me, are subject to the verb\u2019s action, which is the termination of our continued existence. That is to say that our soul\u2019s survival is predicated upon our response to this statement.<\/p>\n

In a world which has distanced itself from most overt expressions of paganism, this statement may not resonate sufficiently to save the religious. But here is the rub: The Christian \u201cLord Jesus Christ\u201d was modeled after Bacchus, Dionysus, Osiris, and Tammuz, and not Yahowah, and thus he represents a different and additional god \u2013 albeit a false one. And worse, Allah\u2019s persona is a perfect match for Satan.<\/p>\n

Further, rather than using the perfect conjugation as God did with yatsa\u2019<\/em>, hayah<\/em> was scribed in the imperfect. It conveys the idea that there is an ongoing and unfolding consequence of this statement which will endure throughout time. So, we out to be very careful in our observations and considerations.<\/p>\n

The verb hayah<\/em> is as important as any word in the whole of God\u2019s Word. It literally serves as the basis of Yahowah\u2019s name \u2013 explaining what it means. In Ancient Hebrew hayah<\/em> was written eie. I see this telling us that how we respond to Yah\u2019s \u201cyad<\/em> \u2013 hand\u201d determines if we transcend or mortality. Said another way, those who observe what Yahowah has revealed to us in this life, as a result of what He has done, will get to live with Him in the next. And since this speaks of time, as does hayah<\/em> itself, please note that this verb reads the same right to left as it does left to right. It is not stuck in the ordinary flow of grammar or time as we currently are, with us moving away from the past into the future. With Yah, the past, present, and future all exist as one.<\/p>\n

Since the verb hayah means<\/em> \u201cto exist,\u201d and speaks of \u201cbeing\u201d irrespective of time, by negating it as lo\u2019<\/em> does in this case, the statement reveals that those who embrace other gods will \u201ccease to exist.\u201d And that is because false gods will never be tolerated in Yah\u2019s presence. That is what hell is for, not heaven.<\/p>\n

It is also telling that lo\u2019 hayah-la \u2018aher \u2018elohym \u2018al-paneh<\/em> is a simple statement of fact. It isn\u2019t a command, much less a commandment. Rather than commanding: \u201cYou must not go to Venus,\u201d it is similar to saying: \u201cYou cannot breathe the air on Venus.\u201d<\/p>\n

I find it interesting that after mislabeling these statements as \u201cCommandments,\u201d religious institutions universally skip over Yahowah\u2019s name, the relationship He established with us, and the role He personally plays in our salvation, only to misrepresent hayah<\/em> to say \u201cyou shall not have\u201d as opposed to \u201cyou shall not exist.\u201d That is a lot of mistakes considering that we\u2019ve only read the first twenty Hebrew words.<\/p>\n

Here now is the second of the three statements Yahowah etched in stone on the first of the two tablets. As you consider God\u2019s words, compare them to man\u2019s truncated \u201cYou shall not make a graven image.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou should not ever do anything which associates yourself with <\/strong>(lo\u2019 \u2018asah la <\/em>\u2013 you should never attend to, act upon, engage with, or profit from, you should never conceive or fashion on your behalf (qal imperfect \u2013 conveying a literal interpretation and ongoing implications)) a carved image or idol <\/strong>(pesel \u2013 <\/em>a religious icon or object of worship representing any god),<\/strong> or any <\/strong>(kol<\/em>) visual representation of something <\/strong>(tamunah \u2013 <\/em>likeness, appearance, picture, drawing, painting, or form which depicts or resembles anything),<\/strong> which<\/strong> is<\/strong> (\u2018asher<\/em>) in <\/strong>(ba<\/em>) the<\/strong> heavens above <\/strong>(samaym min ma\u2019al<\/em> \u2013 the spiritual realm on high including the sun, moon, planets, and stars above), or <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) which is<\/strong> (\u2018asher<\/em>) on <\/strong>(ba<\/em>) the earth <\/strong>(\u2018erets<\/em> \u2013 land and ground, even the material realm) below<\/strong> (tahath<\/em>), or <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) which is<\/strong> (\u2018asher<\/em>) in <\/strong>(ba<\/em>) the waters <\/strong>(mayim<\/em>) beneath the land<\/strong> (tahath \u2018erets<\/em>).<\/strong><\/p>\n

You should not ever not bow down and worship them or speak for them <\/strong>(lo\u2019 hawah <\/em>\u2013 you should never prostrate yourself in obeisance and homage to them, show any allegiance to them, or promote their message because doing so will influence you),<\/strong> and <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) you shall not<\/strong> serve them <\/strong>(lo\u2019 \u2018abad <\/em>\u2013 you should not work or labor in their cause as their ministers, nor should you submit to them in servitude, neither should you act upon them or engage with them).<\/strong><\/p>\n

For indeed <\/strong>(ky \u00ad\u2013 <\/em>because and emphasizing this point),<\/strong> I <\/strong>(\u2018anky<\/em>), Yahowah <\/strong>(efei),<\/strong> your God <\/strong>(\u2018elohy<\/em>), am a zealous and jealous God <\/strong>(qana\u2019 \u2018el <\/em>\u2013 a God who is desirous of exclusivity in a relationship, a God who is emotionally passionate and extremely protective of those He loves), counting and reckoning <\/strong>(paqad<\/em> \u2013 literally taking stock of and actually recording, assigning, and depositing) the perversity and sin of twisting and distorting <\/strong>(\u2018awon<\/em> \u2013 the depravity of perverting and manipulating, deviating from the way, the guilt and punishment derived from delusion and depravity, the liability for unfaithfulness and wrongdoing) of the fathers <\/strong>(\u2018ab<\/em>) upon <\/strong>(\u2018al<\/em>) the<\/strong> children <\/strong>(ben<\/em> \u2013 sons) concerning <\/strong>(\u2018al<\/em>) the third and the fourth generations <\/strong>(silesym wa \u2018al ribea\u2019<\/em>) of those<\/strong> who genuinely hate and are hostile to Me <\/strong>(sane\u2019 <\/em>\u2013 of those who actually abhor, detest, and loathe Me, literally striving maliciously against Me, shunning Me).<\/strong><\/p>\n

But <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) I will genuinely act and actually engage to literally prepare, perform, and produce<\/strong> (\u2018asah <\/em>\u2013 I will actively effect and appoint, offer and celebrate, and I will demonstrate by doing what is required to deliver on behalf of those who respond) unmerited and<\/strong> unfailing<\/strong> mercy, unearned favor, and undeserved kindness<\/strong> (checed <\/em>\u2013 steadfast and loyal love, a totally devoted and affectionate relationship, faithfulness and goodness) on behalf of <\/strong>(la\u2019 \u2013 <\/em>to enable the approach of) thousands <\/strong>(\u2018eleph<\/em>) who move toward Me and love Me <\/strong>(la<\/em> \u2018ahab <\/em>\u2013 who form a close and affectionate, loving and friendly, familial relationship with Me as a result of being concerned about Me and therefore come to know Me) and also <\/strong>(wa \u2013 <\/em>in addition) who approach Me by closely observing and carefully considering <\/strong>(la shamar <\/em>\u2013 who enter My presence by becoming observant and actually focusing upon, thoroughly examining, and thoughtfully evaluating) My terms <\/strong>(mitswah <\/em>\u2013 the conditions of My Covenant, My authoritative directions and instructions which serve as prescriptions for My relationship agreement).\u201d <\/strong>(Shemowth<\/em> \/ These are the Names \/ Exodus 20:4-6)<\/p>\n

Yahowah has asked us not to be religious. God is overtly opposed to religious imagery, opposed to religious behavior, and antagonistic toward religious service. He is intolerant of the promotion of any message associated with any god by any other name (and that would include Allah, Jehovah, the Lord, and Jesus Christ). This is because, more than anything, Yahowah is committed to developing a monogamous relationship with us. Endearing Himself to us, and protecting us, is the very essence of His nature\u2014something He is passionate about, which is why He is personally engaged in our salvation.<\/p>\n

For these reasons Yahowah warns us about the consequence of distorting, twisting, and perverting His message\u2014something every religion has done. By corrupting His testimony, we condemn our own children\u2014as they are then raised in a milieu of religious deceptions.<\/p>\n

By contrast, God has affirmed in writing that those who \u201cshamar<\/em> \u2013 closely observe, who carefully examine, and who revere and rely upon His instructions,\u201d will \u201ccheced<\/em> \u2013 receive mercy\u2014an unearned and undeserved gift\u201d Yahowah has personally prepared and delivered. And yet, His unearned favor and unmerited kindness will be enjoyed by one in a million people. That is precisely what \u201cthousands\u201d among billions conveys. As such, all popular religions have been summarily excluded as a means to Divine mercy.<\/p>\n

And should you want to be among the few who will benefit from Yahowah\u2019s \u201ccheced<\/em> \u2013 mercy,\u201d please note: when God etched this advice in stone there was but one place where His \u201cmitswah<\/em> \u2013 the terms and conditions of His covenant contract\u201d were written\u2014the Towrah. According to God, the Torah is the source of \u201ccheced<\/em> \u2013 unmerited, undeserved, unearned, and unfailing favor which leads to a loving relationship\u201d with Him.<\/p>\n

Before we press on and consider what more Yahowah etched in stone, I\u2019d like the opportunity to more systematically review each of the four sections which comprise this sweeping summary statement. As we just read, God wrote: \u201cYou should not ever do anything which associates yourself with <\/strong>(lo\u2019 \u2018asah la <\/em>\u2013 you should never attend to, act upon, engage with, or profit from, you should never conceive or fashion on your behalf (qal imperfect \u2013 conveying a literal interpretation and ongoing implications)) a carved image or idol <\/strong>(pesel \u2013 <\/em>a religious icon or object of worship representing any god),<\/strong> or any <\/strong>(kol<\/em>) visual representation of something <\/strong>(tamunah \u2013 <\/em>likeness, appearance, picture, drawing, painting, or form which depicts or resembles anything),<\/strong> which<\/strong> is<\/strong> (\u2018asher<\/em>) in <\/strong>(ba<\/em>) the<\/strong> heavens above <\/strong>(samaym min ma\u2019al<\/em> \u2013 the spiritual realm on high including the sun, moon, planets, and stars above), or <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) which is<\/strong> (\u2018asher<\/em>) on <\/strong>(ba<\/em>) the earth <\/strong>(\u2018erets<\/em> \u2013 land and ground, even the material realm) below<\/strong> (tahath<\/em>), or <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) which is<\/strong> (\u2018asher<\/em>) in <\/strong>(ba<\/em>) the waters <\/strong>(mayim<\/em>) beneath the land<\/strong> (tahath \u2018erets<\/em>).\u201d <\/strong>(20:4)<\/p>\n

Since these were written by God to teach us so that we might respond appropriately to Him, the verbs which are designed to guide our actions are especially important. Here \u2018asah<\/em>, which was negated by lo\u2019<\/em>, was written using the qal imperfect, which is to say that we \u201cshould never have anything to do\u201d with God\u2019s laundry list of religious objects. The qal stem dictates a literal interpretation, telling us that God is serious about us disassociating from the kind of images which permeate Christian churches, while the imperfect conjugation refers to any behavior that is ongoing over time. In addition to advising us \u201cnot to do something,\u201d lo\u2019 \u2018asah<\/em> also encourages us \u201cnot to act upon and not to engage with\u201d these things. It says: \u201cnot to serve or profit from any association\u201d with religious or political symbols.<\/p>\n

While \u2018asah<\/em> can be translated \u201cmake, conceive, or fashion\u201d using its secondary connotation, there are many Hebrew words which are far better suited to describe the act of conceiving, creating, building, carving, or engraving of an idol. For example, to carve in Hebrew is: qala\u2019, chaqah, chatubah, miqla\u2019ath<\/em>, or charosheth<\/em>. To engrave is: pituwach<\/em> or pathach<\/em>. To create is bara\u2019<\/em>. And to build is banah<\/em>. So with so many words which more adeptly describe the construction of a religious icon, we ought not look to the secondary connotation of \u2018asah<\/em> to fill this role. And that brings us to its primary meaning, which when negated and then suffixed with la<\/em>, tells us \u201cnot to ever do anything which associates ourselves with, to never attend to, to act upon, or to never engage with\u201d a \u201cpesel<\/em> \u2013 object of worship.\u201d Therefore, just because you never personally carved a crucifix, you are not exonerated if you worshipped in a church where a cross was present. And you\u2019d be guilty of violating this instruction if you preached on behalf of the cross, pledged your allegiance to a flag, or felt patriotic while standing before a political statue in a national monument.<\/p>\n

A \u201cpesel<\/em> \u2013 object of worship and religious icon\u201d can come in many forms, from the wine and bread of Communion and the Eucharist, to the crosses or crucifixes which are on prominent display in most churches and cathedrals. And a \u201ctamunah<\/em> \u2013 visual representation and likeness\u201d is especially all encompassing. It would include the pictures and busts on the walls and the images depicted in the stained glass windows. But if you look closely, especially in an orthodox church, you\u2019ll notice how many references there are to the sun, moon, and stars, with circles around the crosses, halos above the heads of the saints, and starbursts embellishing objects used in church rituals. Not only are men and animals on display, both carved and painted, the Christian god is depicted as a man. But that is not the end of it. The pope wears a Dagon hat, symbolic of the fish god of old, and evangelicals often adorn their cars with an ICTHUS, which is also a fish from the waters beneath the land.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to think about something else, something I think is directly related to an \u201cobject of worship.\u201d And that is the Christian caricature known as \u201cthe Lord Jesus Christ,\u201d whereby god is not only modeled after pagan deities, this god was formed in the very image of man. His likeness is ubiquitous in places of worship and prostration. And he is most often adorned with a halo, symbolic of the sun.<\/p>\n

Moving on to the second of the four statements, in this the second of three statements inscribed on the first of two tablets, we read: \u201cYou should not ever bow down and worship them or speak for them or to them <\/strong>(lo\u2019 hawah la <\/em>\u2013 you should never prostrate yourself in obeisance and homage to them, show any allegiance to them, or promote their message because doing so will influence you),<\/strong> and <\/strong>(wa<\/em>) you should not<\/strong> serve them <\/strong>(lo\u2019 \u2018abad <\/em>\u2013 you should not be coerced into working or laboring in their cause as their ministers, nor should you ever be beguiled into submitting to them in servitude, neither should you act upon them or engage with them).\u201d <\/strong>(20:5)<\/p>\n

This instruction is designed to clearly distinguish the kind of images Yahowah considers inappropriate, as well as to affirm that it is our response to these political and religious symbols, not the act of \u201cmaking\u201d them that is destructive to the relationship God is seeking to achieve. To engage in the Covenant we have to walk away from political, religious, and societal allegiances. And yet look how often people sing national anthems to their flag, pledging to serve what it represents. By standing at attention, removing our hats, and placing our hands over our hearts while others salute, we transform this political symbol replete with stars into an object of worship, and then we speak for it by bellowing out its anthem in the presence of roaring cheers. In America, the Lincoln Memorial is a shrine, a temple to man. And the Statue of Liberty, the national image of freedom to which countless patriots opine, is the Greek goddess Athena, complete with her light and sunburst crown.<\/p>\n

Since it is our response to these pagan and political symbols which is at issue, we should not be surprised that there are two verbs in this brief statement. The first, hawah<\/em>, was once again negated by lo\u2019<\/em>. It was inscribed in the imperfect because Yahowah realized that we \u201cwould make a habit of continually bowing down to, worshiping, and speaking for\u201d the images mankind had crafted. But more than this, hawah<\/em> was engraved using the hishtafel stem, something so rare it is only found 170 times in the Hebrew text. It is known as the causative reflexive form. And it reveals that the subject, which would be you and me, are influenced by the way we act with respect to the verb. Those who bow down in the presence of religious imagery will find themselves prostrate before God in judgment. Those who worship will be associated with the object of their faith. Those who speak for and promote the gods and institutions man has created will be seen as being allied with them. The truth is: religion and politics change people, just as the military does, in a way that displeases Yah, thereby disassociating those who fall prey to their beguiling nature from Him.<\/p>\n

The most obvious, and indeed egregious, violation of this divine edict today is the example of Catholic and Orthodox Christians bowing down before and praying to one of the millions of statues of Mary, whom they believe is \u201cthe Mother of God and Queen of Heaven,\u201d albeit, those titles are both Babylonian, as is the religious festival named in her honor: Easter.<\/p>\n

So by using \u201clo\u2019 hawah la<\/em>\u201d to say \u201cyou should not ever bow down and worship, speak for or to, nor show any allegiance for\u201d what could only be construed as political and religious symbols,\u201d and by announcing that \u201cyou should never promote their message because doing so will influence you,\u201d Yahowah has expressed His utter disdain for humankind\u2019s propensity to place its collective faith in that which is conceived and controlled by man. But He was not done. You see, the next verb is \u201clo\u2019 \u2018abad<\/em> \u2013 you should not serve them.\u201d<\/p>\n

Once again, Yahowah used the imperfect conjugation when He scribed \u2018abad<\/em>, which speaks of habitual, ongoing behavior with unfolding consequences. But this time He used the hophal stem. It is the passive counterpart to the hiphil, which is to say in this case that religious imagery and political symbols influence an individual based upon how an individual acts towards them. So then here is an example of the hophal: \u201cSatan compelled Paul to coerce billions of souls into worshipping him as god, convincing them that he died and was resurrected ala the pagan gods of old.\u201d So while the lost souls are participating in the action, they were beguiled into doing so.<\/p>\n

\u2018Abad<\/em>, which is the Hebrew word for \u201cwork,\u201d depicts \u201cthe expenditure of considerable energy or intensity\u201d toward a goal, which in this case is being religious or political. But more than that, \u2018abad<\/em> speaks of service, which today we typically associate with the big three: a religious service, public and thus political service, and military service. And while I would argue that none of these equate to providing a service because the participants are paid and the work is counterproductive, I\u2019d like to draw your attention to the military where \u201cservice\u201d is considered to be a sacrifice, both honorable and heroic, for which a debt of gratitude is expected. And yet militaries are trained and equipped to kill. That is their job. And most are good at it. And while that is irrefutably true, there is something equally problematic with fighting: the conditioning that makes it possible. Indoctrinated by their superiors, a soldier\u2019s judgment is altered and the conscience is seared. Even worse, the public is brainwashed into believing that their safety and liberties are provided by these trained killers, their deadly institutions and vicious weapons.<\/p>\n

And lest I forget man\u2019s economic systems where most \u201c\u2018abad<\/em> \u2013 work\u201d is applied, next time you have a chance look at your nation\u2019s currency. If you are an American, you will see the eye of Osiris, a temple to Ra, and inscriptions promising a New World Order written in the language of Rome, the nation which destroyed Yahowah\u2019s Temple and tortured the Ma\u2019aseyah.<\/p>\n

One more thought before we move on. Is there any difference between what Yahowah has thus far written and the initial requirements of the Covenant where we were asked to walk away from human schemes and then to trust and rely exclusively on Yah? Hasn\u2019t God simply reinforced those requests with these statement<\/p>\n
