Narrow is the Way
The Authority And Power Of His Name
Reprinted with permission of Joe Dumond from his new book, "The Prophecies of Abraham" scheduled for release in December of 2009.
10 Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done (Isaiah 46:10)
I presented this teaching about The Prophecies of Abraham, before my first live audience in Israel for Sukkot in 2009. As they realized the things I was showing them, they became excited. One gentleman shared with me some things that he had taught the night before in relation to what I am now showing you. He has asked his name not be mentioned.
In each of the days of the week of this Shabuwa, he wrote of the Seven Spirits of Yahweh. Wisdom, Understanding, Council, Governmental Authority, Power, Knowledge and the Fear of Yahweh. Along with these, he also included the seven churches of Revelation, which are Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea and made a direct correlation between the Seven Spirits of Yahweh and the seven churches.
How did he arrive at such a conclusion? We can find these descriptions in Isaiah;
1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, And a Branch shall grow out of his roots. 2 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. (Isaiah 11:1-2)
The above six descriptions are what makes up the Spirit of Yahweh. And yet we still have more in Isaiah dealing with the governmental aspect of His rulership.
6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. (Isaiah 9:6-7)
The other thing that this gentleman showed me was that this weekly Shabuwa as we have been discussing is also represented in the shape and form of the Menorah with the Servant Lamp represented by the 4th Sabbatical Cycle which is Thyatira and Governmental Authority.
31 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made, even its base, and its shaft; its cups, its knops, and its flowers, shall be of one piece with it. 32 And there shall be six branches going out of the sides thereof: three branches of the candlestick out of the one side thereof, and three branches of the candle-stick out of the other side thereof; 33 three cups made like almond-blossoms in one branch, a knop and a flower; and three cups made like almond-blossoms in the other branch, a knop and a flower; so for the six branches going out of the candlestick. 34 And in the candlestick four cups made like almond-blossoms, the knops thereof, and the flowers thereof. 35 And a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, and a knop under two branches of one piece with it, for the six branches going out of the candlestick. 36 Their knops and their branches shall be of one piece with it; the whole of it one beaten work of pure gold. 37 And thou shalt make the lamps thereof, seven; and they shall light the lamps thereof, to give light over against it. 38 And the tongs thereof, and the snuff dishes thereof, shall be of pure gold. 39 Of a talent of pure gold shall it be made, with all these vessels. 40 And see that thou make them after their pattern, which is being shown thee in the mount. (Exodus 25:31-41)
‘...the government will be upon His shoulder’ is symbolic of the Servant Lamp, the fourth lamp of the Menorah. It was this lamp that had two days of oil in it at all times while the other six lamps only had one day’s worth of oil in them. This Servant Lamp was used to light up each of the other six on a daily basis by the High Priest. The other qualities of Yahshua are that of Wisdom, Understanding, Counsellor, Might or Power, Knowledge and the Fear of Yahweh.
Again as we look at the Menorah we can see each of these qualities in the other six lamps, with the servant lamp being the one to bear the Governmental Authority.

When you plot these out in the Shabuwa Cycle it looks like the following chart.
Notice that this 4th Cycle of the week which represents Governmental Authority is also the same time period as when the Beast takes on all authority over the entire earth after defeating the USA and the UK in 2020 C.E. Keep in mind that Satan’s government is a fake system trying to copy Yahweh’s system. This is the deception that Satan will try to put over the whole earth at this time. See Chapter 6 Prophecies of Abraham, The Great Deception That Will Deceive If Possible Even the Saints
During the next seven years from 2010 C.E. to 2016 C.E. an Ephraimite Council should take shape with it becoming a governing body during the following seven years.
But this Ephraimite Government or Council of Joseph is to be set up in order to support and aid the two witnesses who are to come on the scene during the years of Captivity. They will need financial support as they do the work they have to do. They will also need the prayers and emotional support of the elect at this very stressful and trying time.
We are told by the Apostle Peter;
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men shall dream dreams. 18 And on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And they shall prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in heaven above And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. (Act 2:16-20)
Peter was quoting the Prophet Joel;
28 "And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. 29 And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days. 30 "And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. 32 And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant whom the Lord calls. (Joel 2:28-32)
Brethren we are in those Last Days, when Yahweh will pour out His Holy Spirit on all flesh. We just read in Isaiah what Yahweh’s Spirit is, ‘The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and might, The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord’ which is what will be poured out on all men. This is what makes up Yahweh and His Government.
When we read each of the admonitions to the seven churches in Revelation we are in fact being given a message with regard to each phase of the Government of Beit Joseph.
The first Sabbatical Cycle is the cycle of Terror from 1996 C.E. to 2002 C.E. On our chart it represents the spirit of Wisdom and the Church of Ephesus. We read about Ephesus in a vision the Apostle John had.
1 "To the angel of the church of Ephesus write ,'These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lamp stands: 2 I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; 3 and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name's sake and have not become weary. 4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lamp stand from its place--unless you repent. 6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.’" (Revelation 2:1-7)
Brethren, please take special note here; in the last part of this letter to the Ephesus Church where we are told ‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches’ we are to listen to what the Spirit says to all the churches.
First of all, Yahshua is pleased that we have tested those who call themselves apostles and found them to be liars; that we have persevered, have patience and have laboured for His name’s sake. But we have grown complacent. We do not have the same zeal as when we first learned these truths. We are told to not shrink back and get back to that first love or else.
38 But my righteous one will live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him. But we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.” (Hebrews 10:38)
He also praised us because we still hate those who teach about the Saturnalia Festivals and all associated with them.
The next Sabbatical Cycle is found in Leviticus 26:18 which is about the droughts and lack of rain. This cycle coincides with the Spirit of Understanding and the Church of Smyrna.
8 "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write,'These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: 9 I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death." (Revelation 2:8-11)
Yahshua tells us that He knows our works, He knows our tribulation, He knows our poverty, but yet, in His eyes we are rich. He knows we are working for Him as we enter into the time of Tribulation. It is during this time that we will be impoverished.
We are warned in this age to be ready to go to jail for our beliefs. That we will go through the 10 year trial which I have been explaining here as the 10 Days of Awe or the 10 year period of Captivity followed by the three and a half years of Tribulation. Again we are warned to listen to what the Spirit has to say to the Churches.
The next Sabbatical Cycle is found in Leviticus 26:21 which warns us of the seven years of Pestilence. This cycle coincides with the Spirit of Council and the Church of Pergamum.
12 "And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write,'These things says He who has the sharp two-edged sword: 13 I know your works, and where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. 15 Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. 16 Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth. 17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.(Revelation 2:12-17)
From this, we as Assembly of Yahshua’s followers are told to clean up our act during this seven year period before He comes quickly with the Sword. The Sword is the Fourth Curse and is due to come next, so we must repent of these sins now the eating of blood in our meats and the sexual pleasures that are around us all the time. Do we have the willpower to repent?
I have an extensive study on my website about the Doctrine of Balaam and you can read it at: http://www.sightedmoonnl.com/?page_id=553
James Dobson has said that 80% of all men in every church or assembly are addicted to pornography of some level from mild to extreme. These are church going men and this study does not even mention those who do not go to church.
Although we were warned of the Nicolaitans in the first warning to Ephesus, we still have them amongst us today. It is imperative that we root this worship out of our system before the Sword comes, or we will perish by it. The Sword is the next curse to come our way.
The fourth Sabbatical period is also the one which is represented by the Servant Lamp, also known as the Shamash which is Hebrew and means “guard” or “servant.” It is the Sabbatical Cycle for the Sword which is to come to the USA and the UK during these seven years just as it did during the time when Israel was taken into captivity by Assyria in 723 B.C. We have it representing the governmental authority which rests upon the shoulders of Yahshua the Servant of Yahweh.
This is also the fourth message to the Church of Thyatira.
18 "And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, 'These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: 19 I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. 20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. 22 Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. 23 I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works. 24 Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. 25 But hold fast what you have till I come. 26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations-- 27 'He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter's vessels'-- as I also have received from My Father; 28 and I will give him the morning star. 29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." (Revelation 2:18-29)
Once again we are admonished to listen to the message of all the churches. To this church of Thyatira we are warned of the woman Jezebel who claims to be a prophetess and leads the saints astray. I was not sure what to make of this warning and I have found the following article at: http://www.jonhamilton.org/jezebel.htm
The Spirit of Jezebel
By Jon Hamilton
(taken from the book "The Nature Of Our Enemy")
In the book of Revelation, the Lord speaks to the church at Thyatira
"Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols." (Rev 2:20)
At first glance we might ask "What? Jezebel? Didn’t she die back in Second Kings? How can Jezebel be threatening the church in Asia?"
Obviously, the literal person of Jezebel was not present in Thyatira. The reference is a prophetic parallel. Just as John the Baptist was "Elijah" because he came in the spirit and power of Elijah, this person or influence in Thyatira was under the spiritual control of the same demonic influences that controlled Jezebel of old.
Thus, there is a type of demonic influence in society and the church that can rightly be called by the name Jezebel.
This spirit obviously existed long before Queen Jezebel, but she was so totally controlled by its nature that she has become its namesake. In scripture, Herodias is also a type of this force. As Jezebel opposed Elijah, so Herodias opposed John the Baptist. A third example is found here in Revelation 2:20
Queen Jezebel
Jezebel, the Biblical character, first appears in First Kings 16, when she marries Ahab, king of Israel. Jezebel was the daughter of Ethbaal, the king and high priest of the Baal worshipping Sidonians. Baal worship was closely associated with obsessive sensuality and often involved sex acts. Jezebel, as a daughter of this perverse kingdom, was raised in an atmosphere where sex was a path to power and influence.
Ahab, King of Israel, was completely subdued and dominated by Jezebel. Jezebel then introduced the worship of Ashtoroth to Israel. This goddess, represented in Canaanite culture by the moon, was a power-hungry goddess of love and sensuality. Priestess-prostitutes filled her shrines and serviced her worshippers. The lure of these legal, readily available erotic encounters was more than the men of Israel would resist. By Jezebel’s influence, 10 million Israelites left the worship of God for Baal and Ashtoroth. Only 7000 people in the entire nation were not swayed by her control.
The Characteristics of the Jezebel Spirit
A Jezebel spirit seeks control through manipulation. It has a deep hatred of true spiritual authority, and uses emotional pressure, witchcraft and obsessive sensuality in its pursuit of power. It uses subtle persuasion to gain influence and get close to those in control. It then uses this position to gradually dominate.
In the Hebrew, the name Jezebel means literally "without cohabitation". She will not live or "cohabit" with those she cannot dominate and control. She will have no equals. Control is what Jezebel wants more than anything. Even when Jezebel appears to be submissive, it is usually out of a carefully wrought plan to gain influence.
Although it may be common to refer to Jezebel as "she", we obviously must conclude that as a spirit, Jezebel is gender neutral. Jezebel certainly has as many male slaves as female. However, since Jezebel initially tends to establish control without the actual use of physical force, she is more easily associated with classic feminine persuasion techniques.
Jezebel likes to appear close to leaders, and use their influence. She likes to use the power and influence of others to accomplish her goals and control her environment. In 1 Kings 21:8 we read " Jezebel wrote letters in Ahab’s name and sealed them with his seal, and sent them to the elders and nobles of the city." This is typical of Jezebel. She prefers to remain concealed in the background, while she manipulates situations and leaders.
Jezebel is often associated with pleasure, especially sexual pleasure. She will use any form of sensuality at her disposal to gain influence and control. Jezebel uses sensuality, but make no mistake, Jezebel is seeking CONTROL. Lusts are merely tools used to weaken others in order for her to accomplish her goal of control. In many cases sex is not involved at all.
Jezebel’s greatest enemy is true spiritual authority. As Jezebel opposed Elijah and Herodias opposed John the Baptist, so Jezebel today opposes righteous authority. In her heart, she despises all moral authority. .
Jezebel in Society
In America today, Jezebel is the arrogant, angry spirit behind abortion, crying out "It’s MY choice! Don’t tell me what to do!" She has cleverly manipulated debate and positioned herself behind seats of power.
She is the power behind the rebirth of witchcraft in our culture. She calls to millions of teenagers via popular music and movies, telling them that new age witchcraft will give them power. She is the force behind the psychic hotlines, which control and manipulate millions.
She is also the spirit at the center of Hollywood. Jezebel is the reason so many homosexuals are drawn to the entertainment industry, desperately seeking recognition and acceptance.
In an attempt to weaken righteous leadership, Jezebel is the force that draws millions of Christian men into hours of television. She is behind the explosion of Internet pornography. Today she is luring men of God into secret lives of bondage and condemnation. Some leaders, once powerful men of prayer, are now too ashamed to even sneak into the throne room. They are wracked with condemnation. They have been reduced to being mere eunuchs of Jezebel. Men with the calling of David have become pleasure shackled Ahabs. (God still wants to free these!)
Jezebel in the Church
Jezebel is not only visible in society. Jezebel is quite at home in the church pew.
1 Kings 21:9 In those letters she wrote: "Proclaim a day of fasting and seat Naboth in a prominent place among the people. But seat two scoundrels opposite him and have them testify that he has cursed both God and the king. Then take him out and stone him to death."
With a heart of ice, Jezebel gained control of Naboth’s vineyard under the pretense of a FAST. She suddenly got religion when she needed it.
Remember the adulterous woman in Proverbs 7? She first lured the foolish young man with, "I’ve just finished making my peace offerings, and have come looking for you." She made sure he knew she was a good religious woman before she seduced him! Likewise, Jezebel doesn’t let her sin keep her from church.
Jezebel often manifests within the most "spiritual" people you will ever meet. In the Church, Jezebel will first attempt to get close to the pastor or other leaders with flattery. She will attempt to gain his confidence. She "calls herself a prophetess" and often manipulates others with her spirituality. Her deep "truths" usually result in condemnation and burdens for those in her care.
If the pastor, like Elijah, sees and opposes her deceptions, he will find himself in a fight for his life! He may find himself unemployed! Many a man of God has unwittingly had this spirit of control drive out his godly leadership.
While Jezebel often claims to have inspired messages, (she "calls herself a prophetess" according to Rev 2:20), she usually discourages other prophetic voices unless they are under her control. She will attempt to cause leaders to be suspicious of true prophetic messengers, which bear the testimony of Jesus (Rev. 19:10)
This same controlling spirit may manifest in very different, even opposite ways. For example, a controlling, super-spiritual, self righteous, manipulative mother (the kind that wants to run the church), will often be horrified when her daughter grows up to be sexually immoral. Little does she know that she released that very spirit into her child’s life!
Demonic Depression and Loss of Vision
For seven years, God had carefully protected Elijah. God fed him in the wilderness. When Ahab’s armies sought to kill Elijah, they were unable to lay a finger on him.
Finally, in a showdown at Mt. Carmel, Elijah called down fire from heaven and resoundingly defeated and killed the priests of Baal. All Israel fell at his feet in repentance, worshipping the true God. Elijah was the man of the hour. He was vindicated, victorious, and clearly in charge.
Nevertheless, when Jezebel sent Elijah a single threat, he suddenly turned coward and fled to the desert. Anxious, depressed, and miserable, he begged God to kill him!
Think about this. It makes NO sense. Elijah enjoyed supernatural protection for seven years. He watched fire fall from heaven and defeat his enemies, yet when a single angry woman threatened him one time, he lost every shred of vision and ran away. He moaned in self-pity and depression, begging God to kill him!
This is a great example of Jezebel’s powerful demonic "anointing" to intimidate, create fear, and cause men of God to withdraw. Jezebel steals your vision. Jezebel will even make you depressed and anxious when there is nothing significantly different in your circumstances. If there are difficult circumstances, this spirit will tell you they are insurmountable, impossible, and overwhelming. Jezebel will make you feel like dying when in reality, you are God’s man of the hour.
Jezebel’s witchcraft will attack key leaders in her targeted area through intimidation. Those under attack may awaken one morning to find it takes effort just to breathe. All joy seems to depart. Spiritual life seems irrelevant. Demonic voices will echo in their minds "something’s wrong with you!" They may suddenly find themselves in unreasonable anxiety, fearing tragedy or death. Much of what is called "depression" in the ministry is simply Jezebel!
Jezebel wants to paralyze with fear, condemnation, depression, apathy or whatever it takes until we withdraw. The only answer for those under Jezebel’s attack is perseverance in battle. We must remain on course no matter how long it takes!
This is War
The war continues today between Jezebel and Elijah. Like all wars, there are casualties. Leaders sometimes fall. Soldiers sometimes withdraw. Jezebel wants to keep the church within its present boundaries. She claims to decide the extent of the church locally. We must not tolerate this.
Trampling Jezebel
First, we must rid ourselves of Jezebel’s ways. We can not cast out lust when we harbor lust in our lives. We can not bring down a spirit of control if we use manipulation and hype to control our congregations. We must examine our own ways, and repent of Jezebel.
Second, it takes Jehu. Although Elijah was Jezebel’s enemy, it took JEHU to trample Jezebel.
Jehu took no prisoners and showed no mercy to Jezebel. He had singleness of purpose and was driven. As he approached Jezreel those who saw his chariot noted he "drives furiously" (2 Ki 9:20) When others offered peace and compromise, Jehu responded "How can there be peace as long as the harlotries and witchcrafts of Jezebel are many?" (2 Ki 9:22)
Jehu would not rest until Jezebel was dead. Her pleasures could not attract him. Her threats did not deter him. He would not tolerate Jezebel.
Jesus says we too cannot TOLERATE Jezebel. (Revelation 2:20) We must learn the prophetic power of the word "No!" We must give no ground!
When Jezebel attempted to captivate Jehu, he did not even allow himself to be drawn into conversation with her. Instead, he called on her eunuchs to cast her down from her balcony. Those with the Jehu anointing will call to Jezebel’s emasculated slaves, and they too will cast her down!
Once this curse of the Sword is passed over us, then we find that the next seven years is the curse of Captivity. It is the fifth Sabbatical Cycle which is when the assembled saints will have the Power of Holy Spirit. It also contains the message to the Church of Sardis.
1 "And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, 'These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: "I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. 4 You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. 5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. 6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." '(Revelation 3:1-6)
Brethren keep in mind the timeframe for this message. It is during the years of Captivity. This is going to be very tough. We are told to be watchful, which means we will not be looking for something; that we need to pay close attention. Yet, that something is told to us in the second to next verse. If we do not watch, then He will come at an hour we do not know. The only Feast Day that comes at an hour we do not know is the Feast of Trumpets. It is determined by watching for the sliver of the new moon to start off the month. If we are not watching for this, then He will come at a time we are not looking for Him; as a thief in the night.
In order to keep our garments white and not defiled, we must be keeping the Commandments. We must be keeping the Sabbath and Holy Days at the right time and the Sabbatical years. This is going to be very hard to do. But a few are found to be worthy, and their names will be written in the Book of Life. Will your name be found there?
King David said in Psalm 119:172 that all your commands are righteousness.
We also read in the following Scriptures how we are to put on that righteousness.
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban. (Job 29:14)
For He put on righteousness as a breastplate, And a helmet of salvation on His head; He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, And was clad with zeal as a cloak. (Isaiah 59:17)
and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. (Ephesians 4:24)
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, (Ephesians 6:14)
Once we have gone through the seven years of Captivity, we enter the final phase of the Tribulation. This is when the woman, Israel or what is left of her flees to Moab for her life. This is the cycle with the Spirit of Knowledge. It is also the one that represents the Church of Philadelphia.
7 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write, 'These things says He who is holy, He who is true, "He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens": 8 I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie--indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept My command to persevere, I also will keep you from the hour of trial which shall come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. 11 Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. 12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. And I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name. 13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." ‘(Revelations 3:7-13)
These are they who have persevered all these trial over each of the Sabbatical Cycles with each of the curses. These are those who have made it. They are protected from the trial still yet to come on the whole world; the trial of the Great Tribulation.
The last Sabbatical Cycle is of the wedding. It is tied into the Spirit of the Fear of Yahweh, and the Church of Laodicea. This era I do not know what we are being told here. Nor am I sure at what time it is taking place. Is it immediately after the Tribulation period or is it during the time near the end of the Seventh Millennium? Again I do not know at this time.
14 "And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, 'These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. 17 Because you say, 'I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing'--and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked-- 18 I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. 19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. 21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. 22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." (Revelation 3:14-22)
This concludes the comparison of the seven Sabbatical Cycles with the Seven Churches of Revelation and the Seven Spirits of Yahweh. I strongly believe we are being told to organize in some form to be able to help each other. This will mean we will have to be able to support the two witnesses as they go and deliver their message. It means we will have to be able to take in and care for the refugees as they straggle in from wherever they were in Captivity. It means we will have to have food stored up and tents and things of this nature. I am not taking anything away from Yahweh providing for us, but I am looking at the woman of Proverbs 31 and the virtuous wife who provides for her children. This woman is Israel and the children are us.
In my studies I am doing towards my Bachelor of Divinity in Hebraic Studies, my Professor taught us about the Tzit Tzit. He taught me something I never knew.
38 "Speak to the children of Israel: Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the corners. 39 And you shall have the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them, and that you may not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own eyes are inclined, 40 and that you may remember and do all My commandments, and be holy for your God (Numbers 15:38-40)
When you look at the Tzit Tzit you can see that it has four threads folded for a total of eight. One is dyed blue. The Tzit Tzit is tied in such a way as to have 613 knots to remind us of the 613 Mitzvoh of Yahweh; 365 prohibitions and 248 affirmations.
These Tzit Tzit are tied to the four corners of the Tallit. When you wrap yourself in the Tallit you are in actual fact wrapping yourself in the Will of Yahweh. The Tallit is the prayer shawl you see the men of Israel wearing when they pray. It represents the Shekinah Glory of Yahweh when He hovered over Israel in the wilderness. It also represents the covering over of sins and the righteousness the saints are to put on for the Wedding Supper. The Tallit is also to be used in healings. It has many deep and special meanings.
We read in I Samuel 24:4-6 of David cutting off the corner of Saul’s robe in the cave of En Gedi. David was cutting off the Tzit Tzit of Saul. David was remorseful for doing this because David realized that he had in actual fact cut off the Authority of Saul. The Tzit Tzit represents the Authority of Yahweh and David had symbolically stolen Saul’s Authority by cutting off the corner of the Tzit Tzit of Saul’s Tallit.
Again looking at the Tzit Tzit we see that it has a knot and then is wound seven times, then a knot and then wrapped eight times for a total of 15, then a knot and then a wrap of 11 times, then another knot and then the last wrap of 13 times.
What does this all mean? When you study numerology you can see that the wraps total 39 times. This is then represented in the lash, when a person was whipped for some offense. They were struck 39 times or in other words 40 less one. Yahshua was whipped 39 times.
5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5)
24 who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness--by whose stripes you were healed.(I Peter 2:24)
We also see that the first three wraps adds up to 26 by adding the seven and eight windings to get 15 and then the 11 windings for a total of 26. This is the same as Yahweh’s name. Y is equal to the number 10. H is equal to the number five. W is equal to the number six and H is again equal to five.
The Yod (?) is the Tenth Letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The Symbol of the Hand naturally represents power, might, ability, and authority because with it we handle, control, possess, and manipulate (from the Latin manus = hand) everything in our world. Indeed, yad is translated as power twelve times in the KJV and when Yahweh gave dominion over all creatures to Noah and his sons, he said "into your hand are they delivered." A ruling king has the land under the "power of his hand" and Yahweh freed the Jews from their Egyptian bondage "with great power, and with a mighty hand" (Exo 32:11). Yahshua asserted His Authority as Divine Messiah when He answered the High Priest saying "Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power" (Luke 22:69). Scripture routinely speaks of the "work of his hands" as a general metaphor for all that a person does, and in the ultimate sense for all Yahweh's work in creation, as in the Yod verse above, "Thy hands have made me and fashioned me" (AV Ps 119:73).
The name of the Fifth Letter is what it sounds like; an interjection demanding attention like "look!" or "behold!" just as we say "hey!" in English and many other languages. It is the simplest of words, requiring only a breath with no articulation. It appears only four times in Scripture; once in Genesis, once in Ezekiel, and twice in Daniel as above where it is rendered Lo.
This links to one of its primary roles in Hebrew grammar. When prefixed to a noun, Hey signifies the definite article, the word the. For example, "name" is "shem" (??) and "the name" is "ha-shem" (???). It also is closely related to the verb hayah (to be, to exist)
The Psalmist pleads for God to cause him to go in the path of His commandments, to cause his heart to incline to His testimonies, to cause his eyes to turn from vanity. This is the meaning of the Hiphil imperative conjugation, indicated by the Hey Prefix. These Keywords give great insight into the meaning of the divine name ???? (YHVH), the Tetragrammaton, in which Hey appears twice. It contains within itself the three tenses of the verb hayah (to be) – past, present, and future – and so carries the sense of both "He who is, was, and will be" and "He who causes things to be." God explicitly proclaimed the eternal meaning of His Name when He described Himself as the Almighty God "who is, who was, and who is to come" (Revelation 1:8).
The name of the Sixth Letter denotes a nail or hook, as suggested by its shape. It appears thirteen times in Exodus where it describes the hooks holding each curtain to its pillar in the Tabernacle. Its name exemplifies its role in Hebrew grammar. When prefixed to a word, this Letter represents the conjunctive – the Hebrew form of and, also, so, but, and so forth. Vav "hooks" the words and links them together in a sentence. God used it this way in all the Alphabetic Verses.
Yod Hey Vav Hey, YHVH, Yahweh
When you grab on to the corner of His Garment as the women who was suffering from the issue of blood did in Mathew, she was in fact grabbing on to the name of Yahweh; the one who heals as it is contained in the Tzit Tzit.
The last wrap of 13 in gematria is the word E-chad which means one. When this is all put together we have YHWH EChad, Yahweh is One. All of this is found in the Tzit Tzit at the corner of the Tallit.
4 "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! (Deuteronomy 6:4)
What a beautiful meaning to this most precious garment.
How is this related to the Sabbatical Cycles?
Yahweh’s name is written in Hebrew as Yod, Hey , Vav, Hey.
We know that the first letter “Y” is equivalent to 10. We also know that 10 represents judgment. In our Sabbatical Cycle we see that judgment comes during the 10 Days of Awe and this works out to conclude on the Day of Atonement in the year of Atonement in 2033 C.E. when Satan is locked away.
The 10 Years of Awe begins with the first year in 2024 C.E. which represents the Feast of Trumpets or Yom Teruah or the Feast of Shouting. Again the Yod represents the power of Yahweh as we have expressed in the Hand. We have also shown that this fifth Sabbatical Cycle is represented by the Spirit of Yahweh as Power.
Knowing this, we then take the second letter in Yahweh’s name, “H”, which has a gematria of five and count back from the year of Trumpets in 2024 C.E. and this brings us to the year of 2019 C.E. This is very interesting as this year is the one we have just explained, which is the year when the secret pact is made between Assyria, Germany and the Islamic nations; Assyria promising the Muslim Kings who join up with him that they will be given 10 territories they will be rulers over.
And like the Yod means power of the hand of authority, the Hey has a meaning to get our attention, like "look!" or "behold!" just as we say "hey!" in English. Our attention is drawn to this pact between Assyria and the Arab nations as we are told in Psalm 83.
So now I am very interested in seeing where we end up with each of the remaining numeric values of Yahweh’s name. The third letter is “W” and the value of it is six. From 2019 C.E. we count back by six and end up in the year of 2013 C.E. Again very interesting, as you will recall, and as I have shown you in previous chapters, this year in history was the year Judah went into captivity. This is also the year when Jerusalem will fall to the UN armies in the very near future.
This will be the event that hooks the rest of the world upon Jerusalem as the Sixth Letter denotes a nail or hook, the Vav.
2 "Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of drunkenness to all the surrounding peoples, when they lay siege against Judah and Jerusalem. 3 And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. (Zechariah 12:2-3)
The last letter of Yahweh’s name is again the “H” and has a value of five. When we count back by five from 2013 C.E. we arrive at the year of 2008 C.E. What happened in 2008? The only thing I can think of is the beginning of the speaking out of on the Sabbatical and Jubilee Years which I did just before Passover of that year. I was at this time teaching people about the Sabbatical and Jubilee Years. This then brings us to the restoration of all things in relation to the 4th Commandment. The Sabbath had been restored by many over the past 80 years in growing numbers each year. Many of those who had learned about the Sabbath then learned about the Holy days and still later some of them learned about how to count to each Holy Day according to the sighted moon. Lastly the Sabbatical year has been restored and the number of people who are coming to understand the importance of keeping this time Holy is growing exponentially.
Each of these Holy Times, together as a whole, places the mark of Yahweh upon the individual who is keeping them and is in fact sealing them to Yahweh. Those who do not keep this time Holy and do not obey Yahweh are in fact placing the mark of Satan on their hand and on their forehead, by keeping other holidays and festivals that cannot be found in Leviticus 23 where Yahweh tells us of His Appointed times that we are to keep. We are not to add to this.
In the first Sabbatical Cycle as noted above, we see the Spirit of Yahweh as Wisdom and in the second Sabbatical Cycle we see the Spirit of Yahweh as Knowledge. It was during these 14 years that I gained much wisdom and knowledge about the truth of Yahweh having left the Churches of God in 1994 and proving the validity of Torah from the Bible itself during the next seven years. Again read the autobiography in the beginning of this book for the history of my biblical understanding.
Yes I know how vain this sounds on my part, but I can think of nothing else. Indeed as I meet people from many other groups, I see just how much many of them have grown. The things that I am adding to their knowledge base are minor compared to the huge growth that many have had in just the past number of years. When asked how long they have walked this walk most people consistently say less than 10 years.
In Joel it says that in the last days He would pour out His Holy Spirit on all flesh. Does that mean that everyone will come to knowledge of the truth? No. We know this because of the parable of the sower and the seed. Some Seed fell on stony ground and some on fertile ground. (Matthew 13).
We also know about the spirit of Elijah which will restore the sons to the father and the father to the sons.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord. 6 And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse." (Malachi 4:5-6)
I have witnessed this event on some occasions first hand. I have seen Sunday school teachers learn the truth and get all excited and begin to keep the Sabbath and Holy Days and to walk the walk that obeys Yahweh and His Torah. I have also seen those who call themselves Christians read or learn of these truths and begin to swear and curse the person who is teaching these things. Yet Yahweh’s sheep will hear His voice and know.
Brethren, we are to begin to form a council of elders for the purpose of preparing the people to meet Yahweh, and preparing the resources for the shortages that are to come. We are now entering the most dangerous time in history. We must make haste while we still can.
