The Contradiction

I'm sure all of you love the words of Psalm 91.
The words assure us that we are loved by the Creator of all, precious in His eyes, and that He will make sure no Evil will befall us.

Yet on the other end we find Job whose Life was ruined for a time, a man who put his trust and faith in YHWH.
We find Yahshua, the purest Man who ever lived, and He met nothing but adversity, misery and suffering, even unto Death.

So, is He a liar?
Does He give us false promises and false assurances which only serve to set us up for disappointment because what we hoped for and believed in did not come to pass?
If He is almighty, then when He stands back and allows the Adversary to vex His children, surely He is to blame for that?

I am not going to be the apologist inventing excuses for the sake of upholding a religious ideal.
I will, however, speak to you truthfully from my own experience and give you a different and realistic perspective so that the reason for the existence of suffering becomes clearer.

Suffering has a strange side-effect: it can bring out the Good.
Or it brings out the Bad, Evil, depending on the heart of the individual.
We take it personal because it is impossible not to, but if we try to see it as a carving tool, then surely the fruit it brings forth also must be taken into consideration and as such be seen from a more objective perspective?
If then the process is uncomfortable and painful, like the filling a cavity in a tooth, but it brings forth something which is Good, like a restored tooth, then surely for the sake of justice the entire process must be judged by the fruit it bears?

This is a very strange phenomenon, but the things which should have destroyed YHWH's children become instruments in drawing out YHWH's character in their Souls.
We are children of the Most High, and we bear the resemblance to our Father in our Soul and Spirit.
When we suffer and we constantly look within to find answers and help from our Father, this process of introspection draws us closer to Him, so that His character manifests in us to a greater degree than before.

This was also the outcome of Job's suffering: a greater intimacy with YHWH.
And I know it still remains hard to accept it, because if YHWH is all powerful, isn't He able to create a different way to draw forth His character in us?
I am just a man, and should I be capable of finding a better way than the way YHWH has created?
Do I have the insight into what is possible and what not, can I bring forth realities and shape them after my own insight?
I cannot, and therefore I trust Him Who created me, even though I may complain to Him.
My complaint comes from my pain, and He knows this as well as my great love for Him.
More powerful than my complaints and my disputes is my love for Him and my trust in the Rock of my Salvation, and I learned to let go and turn my heart over to Him, asking to remember His mercy and kindness.
Through the many why's He makes us wise.

I do not like suffering, who does?
But I do not know all the different parameters of my own reality and how they influence and shape me.
So, am I in my ignorant state to blame and hate YHWH?
I have chosen not to, because I love Him.
Even though I do not understand all, I persist in faith and trust, because He has shown me His heart, and what I saw was Good and kind, and I loved Him with all my heart and Soul.
I believe in the heart of my beloved Father in Heaven, and when I suffer I persist to the best of my abilities and ask Him to help me.

What else am I to do?
Blame YHWH for the suffering Evil Shadows bring into my Life?
Reject my love for YHWH and thus surrender my Soul and my heart to the ones who hurt me endlessly?
NEVER; let the Shadows carry the blame for the hurt, let them be judged who brought Evil into my Life.

So I persist and I hang on, trusting and believing, hoping for my Salvation.
Because that is the way how I can strike back at Evil, and that is what frustrates the Evil Shadows the most: that they cannot succeed in turning me into their slave, because I reject their suggestions and hold on in faith.
Yes, I reject the lies of the Satan and I hate everything that Liar stands for.
Because I turn my heart to YHWH in my pain, the answer the Adversary finds in me is the strength of YHWH Himself.
I am just a man and the Adversary can easily overcome me, but when I turn my heart to YHWH and the Satan encounters His strength in me, then He faces the unshakable Almighty Creator.
Let him deal with that.

And believe me, our Heavenly Father sees, and not a single blow the Adversary has dealt you has eluded Him.
He IS judge, and He DOES watch over you, never doubt that.

Still, how come Evil is able to influence our lives to such a great degree?
It is because Evil is able to make itself felt in our lives by means of the pawns it has enlisted in its service, and the structures it uses to captivate us and make us dependent on them.

'Seek the welfare of the nation, because the welfare of the nation is your welfare'.
This is something the prophet Jeremiah wrote (chapter 29), meaning that the lack of peace and welfare also becomes the lack of the peace and welfare of YHWH's people.
The nations where we live, our employers, our families, our cities, our homes, all these are structures we are positioned in, and if a structure manifests a greater degree of Evil than before, then we who are part of the structures and dependent on it are exposed to the increased presence of the forces of Evil within that structure.

We tend to forget we are placed in a world where Evil has a dominant position.
The Satan owns the world's kingdoms, and that is why he is able to offer positions of prominence as  rulers over all the kingdoms of this world.
You cannot offer something you do not have, and as the example of Yahshua's temptation shows us where the Adversary offers Him ALL the empires of this world, the Satan REALLY has our world in his back pocket.
The only thing which restrains him is the presence of YHWH in His Spirit and His messengers.
This dominant presence of Evil in this world is why every single one of YHWH's children have Heavenly guardians watching over them: without protection we would not have a prayer of a chance.

When Evil grows more prominent in our nations due to the fact that the people living in the nations hate YHWH and His Son in their hearts, when they thus open their hearts to Evil, then Evil manifests to a greater degree within that nation, having greater power to inflict harm upon those who love YHWH.
And when a nation manifests more Evil, YHWH withdraws His Spirit and His messengers, and Darkness replaces the Light.

If you love YHWH and you are surrounded by people who hate YHWH, then YOU WILL suffer.
Not because you are unjust, or because YHWH hates you, but because you -being the outsider, the misfit-, are in a position where Evil can hurt you.
And believe me, if you are in such a position, you WILL be hurt.

Did Yahshua not say, 'if they hated Me, they will hate you also, and if they loved Me, they will love you also'?
If then you are find yourself in the company of people who hate Yahshua, that hatred is something you will experience, because Yahshua lives in you.
You will be targeted for persecution in a multitude of different forms, and that is when the words of Psalm 91 will seem like a distant Utopian fantasy having no roots in 'reality'.
But you must not forget that due to the fact that you are in a position where Evil has the power to shape your world and turn it against you, Evil has the power to create a false image of YHWH as the great Liar.
The minions of Evil will hurt you and make you suffer, and then ask you the question, 'if you have such a loving and kind Heavenly Father, why does He allow you to suffer, why does He not answer you when you cry out of pain to Him?'
Of course it's just a tactic they use in an attempt to steal your Soul away from you, because they KNOW that they have no power over your Soul as long as you hold on to your choice for YHWH.
And if you persist in that choice, they will do their best to make you suffer under their wrath.
Their only hope to gain control over you is by manipulating you so that you make the choice to turn against YHWH.

BUT, always remember that even during the time of Job's suffering, YHWH made sure that the Adversary could not venture beyond the restrictions YHWH imposed.
He restrains Evil.
So do not fear what others might do to you, for they too cannot venture beyond YHWH's restrictions.
YHWH watches over you, and you are part of His heart.

YHWH allowed the suffering to happen so that He might be able to bless Job and have a greater degree of intimacy with him than before.
The suffering made Job question what He knew YHWH to be, yet in spite of his questions he held on to his love for YHWH, confused as he was about the contradiction he saw.
The suffering caused Job to aim his heart to YHWH more than ever before, and as a result he drew near to YHWH just as YHWH drew near to Job, so that YHWH's presence manifested to a greater degree in Job than ever before.

In the end Job was victorious and understood, there was a reason, and it had not been in vain.
And the treasure he inherited was one of eternal value, one which could never be taken away from him.

We all live in nations and structures in societies where Evil rules, and the degree to which Evil is able to manifest itself also is growing on a daily basis.
Unless we move to a deserted place we cannot isolate ourselves from the nations where we live.
The greater our dependency on the facilities our nations offer us, the greater the means Evil has at its disposal to make us miserable.

But Life is more than just the Life we live here at this moment.
This is just one phase of preparation, and the REAL Life is the extension into eternity.
YHWH WILL satisfy us with Life in abundance and untold joy, and in this Life He DOES show us His Salvation.
But you must never forget the hidden presence of Evil in all facets of Life around us.

If you were a Jew in Germany in 1940, and if you were to set foot in a building where the Nazi party held a meeting, what do you think your chances would have been to encounter any Good in such a situation?
You would have encountered nothing but Evil.
Because you were at the wrong place at the wrong time, venturing into the domain where Evil was able to show it's true vile face without restraint, and you would have suffered as a result.

Our Creator YHWH is Good, and there is not a cell in my Body which doubts that.
I often am at a loss understanding His silence when I expect an answer, but when I look back at my Life I can see that He always answers.
It's just that the answer did not always come at the time and place where I hoped and expected it to come, but it came at a time and in a form I did not expect.
I often do not understand why suffering comes my way, even though I did nothing to deserve it.
Yet later when I look back and see how the suffering brought out qualities of YHWH's character in me, then even though I do not understand the why or how, I DO acknowledge the end result which is Good.

I have to say that even during difficult times YHWH always provided a way out.
It did not come immediately, -yes, my faith is put to the test just as much as anyone else's, perhaps even more so.
It is through trial and setbacks that you learn to reach within to find the strength to overcome, and your faith grows thanks to the stresses it encounters.
He always creates a way out for His own at His appointed time, and you have to learn to trust His judgment in this matter, for if you find yourself in difficult situations and YHWH allows this, He has an agenda which aims to bring you closer to Him and cause you to flourish in faith.

I have seen glimpses of what lies ahead, the bright and glorious future YHWH has in store for those who love Him, and I can assure you your current problems will seem irrelevant and not worth mentioning in the light of that future.
No, this is not a conman's ploy to trick you into accepting that which is unacceptable, holding out a bright promise in order to exploit you in the present, but it is the honest Truth.
I cannot stress enough how important it is that you TRUST YHWH, even if He may seem deaf to your pleas, even if your situation is not what you want it to be.
TRUST Him, knowing that He will take care of you, because that is the Truth.
All of us are being tested in order that YHWH can shape our Soul and manifest Himself in us.

I have difficulty with preachers proclaiming that if a nation goes through the seven lean years, you will not suffer but instead prosper abundantly if you love YHWH.
Their brand of faith promises instant gratification to those who are spoiled by the doctrine, and this gratification usually is of a material nature.
It is nothing but a Lie serving an Evil purpose.
If those lean years concern the nation which you are part of, then do not be surprised you have to learn to do with less like everybody else.
If you expect that you will prosper during times of economic depression because you believed the lies a preacher told you, and you find to your surprise that you lose your job and have to earn a living with whatever you are able to find and make the ends meet with a lot less money, guess who tends to get blamed?
Yes, YHWH usually is held accountable and blamed for the misfortune.
And when you blame YHWH, the force of Evil acting through that preacher has succeeded, at your expense.

Be thankful, even for the little you receive, and if you need more, ask YHWH, believing Him.
When your circumstances are turned against you and you are deprived of a steady income, forcing you to meet ends with whatever you can find, STILL be thankful and ask YHWH to provide you with opportunities to earn your money.
You may not have as much as ten years ago, you may find yourself wishing you had more, but if you become angry at YHWH and put the blame on Him, your faith suffers and the Demons which made your Life difficult rejoice because they are succeeding.
Your Father watches over you ALL the time, and He will provide for you, trust Him in that, and do whatever you can.
The rest is up to Him Who loves you.

So, hold on and do not let the vexations of the Adversary take away the breath of your Soul.
Our Heavenly Father may not always give you an answer or solve your problems at the exact time when you expect it, but He is faithful and He has ALWAYS helped me in ways I did not expect.
He IS your Father, and what Father has a cold callous heart towards His children?
Know that you are loved, and although your Father may allow suffering in your Life, He does so in order that Good may manifest itself to a greater degree because YHWH can manifest Himself to a greater degree in your heart.
He ALWAYS will guard you and watch over you, no matter what.

The strange thing is that when YHWH's Ruach, His Spirit, comes to me, such as at the time I write this blog post, all memory of suffering becomes irrelevant and distant, as if it happened to someone else than me.
So when YHWH tells us He will wipe every tear from our eye, I can tell you from my own personal experience that this is not just future tense, but it is already a reality which I have experienced.
All trauma becomes distant and forgotten in the presence of YHWH's Ruach, and even though clouds may gather and make you feel sad and disheartened, remember this one thing: what the Bible refers to as the 'glory yet to be revealed', which is the reality of being one with YHWH without Evil standing in the way, will make all your traumas and pains seem irrelevant and of no importance whatsoever.
As a matter of fact, the painful memories and the traumas which handicap you now will be completely forgotten.
And this is not a lie or a pacifier to help you deal with pain and setbacks, it is a reality and these words I write are true.

Your greatest challenge lies perhaps in facing Evil in those you trusted most, your friend, your family.
They have the power to inflict the greatest wounds, and the Adversary knows that all too well.
But know this, by learning to let go and forgive the world lies at your feet, because if you can forgive those you loved and trusted most, yet who abused your love and trust, then you have overcome the world in its most vile and pernicious form.

Even when Life is difficult, and all has been taken away from you, do not let the thieves in the temple take away your love for YHWH.
Because THAT is what they are after: to cut you off from YHWH so that they, after they made you suffer and caused it to appear as if YHWH inflicted the suffering, can rob you of your precious Soul and make it theirs.
They are thieves, unholy murderers, Shadows without substance who seek to gain substance by taking it from you, parasites from the Dark feeding themselves with your Life and Energy.
Our battle is with them, not YHWH, so let your Soul be encouraged NOT to put the blame on YHWH, but to put the blame on the Shadows reaching out into your Life.
Love YHWH and put your trust in Him, and I guarantee that you will not be put to shame.

Please bear in mind that to this world alternating hours of Darkness and Light have been allotted, and during the hours of Darkness Evil can make itself felt in our lives.
Do not put the blame on YHWH, do not hate Him for what the workers of iniquity do to you.
Let the ones who do you Evil be held responsible, and keep YHWH always first and foremost in your heart as your first and greatest love.

Remember Joseph, how he was betrayed by his own brothers and sold into slavery in a strange land which was not his own, and in this dark hour, hoping his Heavenly Father would help him, his Life took another bad turn when Potiphar's wife lied about Joseph so that he was chained in prison for a crime he did not commit.
Did he renounce YHWH and spit on His name for all the misery heaped upon his shoulders while he believed in YHWH?
No, he kept trusting YHWH, believing that one day He would liberate Joseph.
Even when Joseph was imprisoned he faced yet another setback when he asked the Pharaoh's butler whose dream he interpreted that he would remember Joseph and mention his case before the Pharaoh.
The butler however kept his mouth shut until finally after two whole years the Pharaoh had a dream and the butler mentioned Joseph's name as a skillful interpreter of dreams.
Still, Joseph kept his faith in YHWH, believing that YHWH would deliver him and restore him, even though he must have carried a lot of pain in his heart.

And that day of his liberation and his restoration cam.
Joseph was honored with the highest position in the land of Egypt where he could make preparations for the bad times to come and thus save his family in Israel who also suffered under the seven lean years.
Joseph had to endure Evil in order that his faith might be tested and he might grow strong.
The hardship brought out Josephs faith and character so that the Evil which was done unto him contributed to Good.
Not only Joseph's Good, but also Israel's Good.
YHWH had allowed Joseph's tribulation because He also wanted to help Jacob during the seven lean years.
He allowed Joseph to be sold into slavery and become the victim of false accusations so that he could be brought to the Pharaoh's attention and become a king in Egypt.
It was a rough ride for Joseph, but one which strengthened him and which brought him many blessings.
Furthermore, the rough ride also brought blessings to Israel as well as destroying the lies his 'brothers' had told Jacob.

If anything, let that story inspire you to persist in faith and never allow your circumstances to turn you against YHWH.
Your trial means your faith is tested, and in order for faith to grow and manifest itself to a greater degree it MUST be tested, none of us can escape it.
We need to learn to draw closer to YHWH and live in complete dependency on Him, and our time of testing serves that purpose.
None of us LIKES to be tested, but we all enjoy the Good which the testing brings about, so ALWAYS trust YHWH, even when you are in pain and you are suffering.
Your Father knows, and nothing happens without serving a greater purpose.
Your Father cares and He is with you in your suffering all the way.

The Two Forms Of Satanism

When the term 'Satanism' is coined many tend to associate it with outright Devil worship.
You belong to a cult which worships the Evil One, and you indulge in their anti-Christian practices, a reversal and opposite of everything which Christianity stand for.

While this is the usual image people have of Satanism it is only one visible form we can clearly identify.
Aside from this form of overt Satanism there is covert Satanism.
What I mean by covert Satanism is not the Satanist who pretends to be a Christian yet who secretly belongs to a Satanic cult.
Covert Satanism is a term I use for all the people who in their words and deeds show the footprint of Satanism.

You will find MANY covert Satanists in Christian churches.
They profess their faith in Jesus, they worship during their Sunday church meetings, they pray to God and read in the Bible.
But all these activities are just part and parcel of their Babylonian culture, whether it is one they adopted consciously during their Life or one they grew up in.
In their words and their deeds they show the character of the one they truly worship: the Satan.
They love the Lie, they cheat when it is profitable, they will hurt and betray the one closest to them, they love gossip and false witness, they will indulge in the forbidden in secret and never repent.
Because they love the Lie, they hate Truth and the ones who love Truth.

During His days on Earth Yahshua encountered these people, many of whom were wearing holy robes of the religious leadership in His days, others belonging to the robotic followers of the religion of Yahshua's days.
Yahshua in His usual honest and straightforward manner called them exactly what they were, 'Devil worshippers', 'sons and daughters of the Satan'.
They dressed up in religion, pretending to be lovers of 'God', 'Elohim', yet in their DEEDS and their WORDS their showed themselves to be sons and daughters of the Evil One.
It is not what they professed to be what counted, but the fruit they brought forth which revealed their true nature.

And what did the people reply to Him when Yahshua told them that they did the deeds of their father?
We are not born of fornication; we have one Father, even Elohim.

Then Yahshua replied to them: 
If Elohim were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from Elohim; neither came I of Myself, but He sent Me.
Why do you not understand My speech? 
Even because you cannot hear My Word!
You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do.
He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the Truth, because there is no Truth in him. 
When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it.
And because I tell you the Truth, you believe Me not."

You can read this excerpt in John 8.
All too often the deeper message of this passage is overlooked, namely that within the religious houses of worship, among the ones who praise Elohim and today claim to believe in Jesus, you will find a large number of those who actually are Devil worshippers, even though they are not aware of worshipping the Satan.
They give evidence of their bondage to and worship of the Satan in the fruit they bear, their words and their deeds.
These are the Christians who attend church on Sundays, who will speak to you about Jesus as their Savior, they sing their psalms and hymns, yet in their hearts they hate YHWH's Truth and His children.
And all too often the pain you have to bear as one of YHWH's children is overwhelming when you witness this kind of hypocrisy firsthand within the family you grew up in.

I have grown up in a family where the Adversary's Spirit made itself felt all too often, and as a teenager I decided I never would want to have anything to do with the hypocrisy I saw. 
Such is the poison of the Adversary, that if he cannot get you one way through conforming yourself to the Lie, he sets you up through your emotional reaction to rebel against YHWH and thus receives you into his arms the other way.
But, my determination to rebel failed because I knew there was a Creator, and I began the search for the true identity of my Creator, desiring to know Him personally before I made the jump to rebel.
In His kindness He protected me from falling into the Satanic trap, and brought me closed to Him, not because I was so good, but because He is so Good that He forgives me for my own Sins and reaches out to my heart and Soul.

The closer I grew to Him and the more I got to know Him, the greater the contrast with the Evil of the Lie I saw within my own family.
Whenever I travelled away from them it was like traveling from the Darkness into the Light, and whenever I returned it felt like a suffocating blanket was thrown over my Soul which caused me to suffer greatly.
They were my family on Earth, yet I felt they were strangers in the Spirit, worse, I had to be careful because there was something within them which wanted to destroy me.
It was the same sensation I had as a young boy when I stood outside my parent's home on a gloomy day, and there was something within me telling me to be careful because the world was full of robots, even within my own home, desiring to turn me into a robot as well.

I'm sure some of you who grew up in similar circumstances will understand me when I write about the presence of an Evil oppressive Spirit, one which makes you feel as if someone threw a blanket over your Soul.
It is not uncommon for YHWH's children to suffer from what seems like a malfunctioning immune system when they have to abide in the presence of such an Evil oppressive spirit for a prolonged period, and they can become physically ill as a result.
You simply are not compatible with the Spirit of Evil that you sense, and this causes you to experience oppression and negativity.
Even though you may be part of a 'Christian' home, when the ones appointed as your parents are covert Satanists you will experience the presence of a Spirit contrary to the Spirit of the faith they profess.
This oppressive spirit of Evil is one you will find everywhere in covert Satanism, from the home of the devout Christian to the atheist home, everywhere the heart is tuned to serving the Evil One.

The problem is that YHWH's children tend to excuse the ugliness they see.
'It's just weakness which temporarily overcomes them just as we are prone to moments of weakness, they are not what they appear to be in those weak moments'.
We feel bad and guilty about resenting them for the Evil we see in them, and the guilt drives us to make up for it and it drives us straight back into their arms, like a crippling axe which prevents us from taking up our place and mission in this world.

Only, even though we tend to excuse the ones closest to us because we want to love them, invariably the ugly reality dawns on us that there is no change in the ones we excuse.
They have their hearts invariably set on repeating the exact same pattern we attribute to weakness, and in their deeds and their words we see no sign of change or growth towards the better.
Sometimes the reality is too hard to fathom, that we have grown up in an environment of covert Satanists, and that Satan has been in charge of the environments we were exposed to.

Satanism in both overt and covert form is rampant not only in Christianity, but in all facets of our society, and the Darkness is thick and dense, so much so that judgment is coming, judgment upon our society, judgment upon individuals within a family who are servicing their lord the Satan.

Unfortunately, the Satan is very active in churches, even to such a degree that today's Christianity is more like institutionalized Covert Satanism.
Even though faith in Jesus is professed, the Lie is practiced, and through the Lie the mask of faith in Jesus reveals the real content beneath the mask.
Even the dates of Christian celebrations are part and parcel of the mask, yes, even though you may have been taught differently, today's Easter carries the signature of covert Satanism all over, and the world's celebration of Easter or Christmas for that matter is nothing other than the celebration of Babylonian lies.
What does Ishtar or Semiramis or Tammuz have to do with Yahshua, what does the Lie have in common with the Truth?
But let there be no mistake about it, covert Satanism is just as much part and parcel of those who keep Shabbat and desire to be part of the Hebrew roots religion.

Overt and covert Satanism shape our society in the image of the Fallen One.
His left and right hand create division which produce the dynamics which cause him to thrive, and the compromise,- the synthesis between the two hands-, celebrates and promotes his ideology.
He is the one who sets up groups against each other in order to maneuver them towards the destiny he has in mind.
He pitches his left against his right, poor against rich, making them demonize the opposition in spite of the fact that both sides are run by a majority conforming to Evil as well as containing a minority which loves what is Good.
Beware of the ones who position themselves as leaders of one particular group, because they tend to be the elect of the Fallen One who destined them to fulfill a particular role in his strategy.

There is nothing I would love to see more than the complete and utter destruction of the Satanic influence which runs our society and makes our lives miserable.
It obstructs us and keeps us from developing the full potential of the talents YHWH gave usl.
His influence in our world is about to end, and I am here to testify to the imminent destruction of his Earthly empire, the end of covert and overt Satanism.
I suppose that is the Good news after this gloomy wake-up call: the golden age of Mankind is yet to come, and we are confined for only a little while longer to the last of the convulsions of this Evil nightmare.

But today overt and covert Satanism rule this current world.
The Satan uses his worshippers to hurt you on the one hand, and on the other he entices you to trust the ones who sympathize with you and condemn the ones who hurt you, so that later on this trust can be abused and turned against you.
Yes, this world is a very depraved and lonely place for those who truly love YHWH, and we have to learn to endure the Darkness to the best of our abilities.
Know this: it is about to end, and the Darkness is about to suffer destruction by the coming of the Light of Yahshua.
That is when the covert Satanists no longer can hide and will be exposed to the world as the sibling brothers and sisters of the overt Satanists, and I assure you that many professing traditional Christians will be found among the covert Satanists.

Overt and covert Satanism are one and the same thing.
The ritual blood sacrifices of overt Satanism have their mirror image in the secret destruction of the human Soul through repeated exposure to betrayal, meanness, pressure of covert Satanism, especially when it masks as the hypocritical streak of traditional Christianity. Either way Life-force is extracted for the benefit of the Shadow world.
The rituals of overt Satanism have their sibling brother and sister in the ritual of psychological torture at the hands of the covert worshippers of the Lie: the Satan is lord and master over both, and whereas one refers overtly to the Satan, the other mentions Jesus while showing their love for the Satan in their innermost thoughts and feelings which bubble to the surface repeatedly in the form of words and deeds which conform to the Lie.
Both hate the Light, both hate the children of the Light, both will seek to extinguish this Light when it shines in YHWH's children by destroying them, even if those children are children of their own flesh and blood.

Remember Yahshua's words: be harmless as doves, and wise as serpents.
It does not mean you have to become as a serpent, but rather you have to be aware of what makes serpents tick, how they think and what their nature is, and act accordingly in wisdom and awareness of the hurt they want to do to you.
Yes, sometimes you need a word of comfort, yet it is to your benefit to keep your mouth shut and reveal nothing, because the one you want to confide in just happens to be one of the covert variety.
Be aware of the Satan's ways and the ways adopted by his children, and act wisely.
You are a soldier, and the Life of a soldier on the battlefield often is not an easy or comfortable one.

If you are in the position where you have no other option than to abide in the Darkness of your environment, do not despair or think you have been abandoned by YHWH.
Because even in the Darkness YHWH's hand protects you.
You are there as a witness and a testimony against the ones worshipping the Darkness.

Do not fall into the trap of blame and resentment, but if you hurt, seek your Heavenly Father Who will never hurt you, and ask Him to heal you and provide a way out of the Darkness.
He hears and He will act on your behalf.

Pray for the ones who hurt you, that if there is something Good hidden in their hearts that YHWH will bring about repentance in their hearts.
He will hear, and if there is any Goodness in anyone He will act to make that Goodness come alive, but if there is no Goodness found in the hearts of the ones who hurt you, then the hurt they inflicted upon you will come down on their own heads as YHWH's judgment upon them.

The Four Of Destruction

Some time ago I wrote about the meaning of numbers.
I explained how everything we know in our reality is the result of numbers manifesting themselves in energy, and how YHWH has allotted specific properties to numbers in His storyline for Mankind.

One such number is '4'.
When you read in Deuteronomy 28 about the curse, you will notice how the description of the curse consists of three incremental parts, and they result in the destruction of the nation.
In Israel's case the curse was part of the covenant, and YHWH warned them that if they would turn to Evil and rebel against Him, thus attracting the destructive power of Evil, curses would overtake them and become worse, and that in case the curses did not make them turn around and repent they would be destroyed as a nation and dispersed to the '4' corners of the Earth.

So, the '4' is the number YHWH assigned to destruction, and the sequence '3-4' within this context refers to the fullness of destruction, the '3' passing into the '4'.
It is part of the full sequence of '1-(2)-3-4': the unity in YHWH is broken and substituted by the Dualism (2) due to the presence of Evil through Sin, and when Sin causes us to persist in our rebellion and we go through the three phases of the Curse (the fullness of the Curse = '3') it ultimately will result in our destruction (4).

The interesting thing is that I read an article about the blood moon on April 4th (the fourth of the fourth month or '44'), and how this day also brings us the shortest lunar eclipse of this century lasting for 4 minutes and 44 seconds ('444').
In the article I wrote about the meaning of numbers I described how the Adversary uses YHWH's definition of numbers and their properties, and manipulates those numbers in order to build his own reality.
Thus he leeches YHWH's energy so that he can build his own niche in Creation, and gradually overtake and re-create YHWH's structure into his own.

The way the Adversary uses his technique of transforming the properties of YHWH's numbers into numbers representing concepts of his own is something I described more elaborately in my article series about numbers.
In short it means that just as Dualism is like the '1' splitting in two, the '1' representing YHWH and unity we have in Him is in the Satan's hands turned into the '11' on the level of Man's reality, and the '111' on the level of the metaphysical Satanic reality which knows no return to YHWH's reality.
When Man is born he enters the double digit zone from whence he is able to return to YHWH's '1' in the single digit zone through repentance, or he can kill the presence of the Spirit and destroy his conscience, and venture into the Satanic triple digit zone from whence he can never return.

So, YHWH's definition of the single digit numbers thus is transformed into double digit numbers with the specific goal to venture into the zone of the Lie, the triple digit zone representing the Satan's concept of his reality, a reality which is built on a lie and which can never be.
Within this system the greatest distance can be found between YHWH's reality of the '1' and the Satan's '999', an extrapolation of the number YHWH assigned to the perpetual reality of Evil ('9')  yet in the Satan's version turned into the Lie of an 'alternative reality' without YHWH.

The occurrence of the numbers '4', '44' and '444' are very alarming in this context.
The '4' stands for the destruction YHWH decreed, the '44' stands for the destruction on the level of Earth as a result of Satanic interference, and the '444' stands for the Satanic lie which seeks to achieve the '444' in order to establish the ultimate ideal, the '999'.
The '444' in the Adversary's eyes is the idea of building his own structure upon the ashes of YHWH's '4', in order words, the blood which YHWH's '4'  brings about is seen by the Adversary as the fuel necessary to jumpstart his own ideal of '444'.

Just think of how YHWH destroyed Israel for persistent rebellion.
Yes, there was a lot of bloodshed, but the completion of the destruction came in the form of sending the surviving members of the tribes AWAY from Israel, mixing them with the nations where they were sent so that they adopted pagan (Satanic) ways and customs which were not good for them (the Satan's Lie).
So, the '444' in this case came in the form of the Adversary absorbing Israel into HIS queendom, and that is where the '444' in this case also points to.

If it concerns Israel it means that as a result of YHWH's judgment the Adversary will seek once again to devour Israel and absorb the nation into HIS queendom where HIS rules and HIS false customs apply.
If it concerns the world it means that as a result of YHWH's judgment (which WILL give Evil the power to manifest and strengthen itself by means of leeching Life-force through a mass bloodshed we refer to as war and terrorism) the Satan will seek to establish his '444' in the form of his queendom of rebellion, something you perhaps are better familiar with as the 'new world order'.

Now that on the day of Passover, a day of blood sacrifice (and by the way, the Hebrew word for 'blood' is 'dahm', with the 'dalet' being the 4th letter of the alphabet), the sequence of '4-44-444' manifests itself so clearly, it is like the sound of an alarm bell and something we better not ignore.

Passover 2015

I am not going to wish you a happy Easter.
Because, what in Heaven's name has a satanic pagan worshipping cult to do with Yahshua?
You strike Him in the face like His tormenters when you honor Easter, you lash the whips on His back when you indulge in your Easter eggs, you drive the nails in His hands when you indulge in the forty days of Lent preceding the celebration of the sun god Tammuz, and you mock Him like the robber hung on the stake next to Yahshua when you set aside Yahshua's Passover in favor of your ham on Easter Sunday with the raisin filled cakes.

Unfortunately, the satanic Easter cult has been elevated to the status of today's Christianity, whether it be the Roman Catholic or the Protestant variety.
One is the rebellious son of the adulterous mother, and both have in common that they are offspring of the Father of the Lie.
He produced the face of Christianity as a mockery of Yahshua's sacrifice in an attempt to bring Yahshua's work to naught.
But as always is the case, the son of Darkness fails with the true children of the Light, because they invariably will be led to the Truth by the Father of Truth, YHWH.

I hate Easter, and I hate the falsehood within it.
I prefer the Truth about Yahshua, how He came to fulfill the Passover mission and lead it in the days of Unleavened Bread, the end of the dictatorship of Sin which turns its lovers into slaves who mistake their servitude as a love for freedom.
There is no freedom in worshipping the Lie, only slavery masking as freedom.
Try to rebel against Sin and you will find out you cannot escape its gravity by means of your own strength.
To be set free from the dictatorship of Sin you have to be SET free, and the strength to remain in that freedom can be found ONLY in YHWH in Yahshua, the presence of the Father in the Son.
Perhaps the most important discovery for you is the day when you realize that you have no Good or strength to be Good within you, and that your only Goodness is the result of the presence of the Source of Goodness in you, YHWH, and that your only strength to overcome Evil is the strength you find in YHWH in you.
Because when you realize that, you learn to cling to YHWH in order to be strong and overcome Sin, and thus be Good as a reflection of the Goodness of your (and mine) Heavenly Father.

So, what I wish you is a very blessed Passover and an enjoyable week of Unleavened Bread, or Chag HaMatzot as it is called, the 'Matzah celebration'.
Leave the leaven of the Lie in the hands of the liars so that it cannot pollute your thinking and obstruct a clear vision, and love the Truth by celebrating the Passover and Chag HaMatzot as YHWH instructed us to do.
Leave Babylon to the Babylonians, and be faithful to your Israelite calling.

Because YHWH has set apart the concept of Israel for the Ones who truly love Him in Truth and sincerity of heart, and it is my hope that I have just described YOU: someone who loves Truth and who has a sincere heart filled with love for YHWH and His wonderful Son Yahshua, our King, our Savior, the One Who loved us first.
That is when you are my brother, my sister, my father, my mother.
Celebrate Passover and Chag HaMatzot in honor of the One Who loved us first, because you love Him and you desire with all your heart to be close to Him, Yahshua, the most precious Name given to us.
