TRANSCRIPT

Yahweh The (Unknow n (GodThe Mystery of HIS Secret Purpose Revealed

"Hear, O Israel: YAHWEH is our God, YAHWEH alone. Thou shalt therefore love YAHWEH thy God, with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy might" (Deut. 6: 4, 5, The Emphasized Bible, by J. B. Rotherham [E. B. ]).

Revelation 12: 9 states that satan the devil has deceived the whole world. This would mean

that he has deceived all the people on this planet earth. To deceive means to lead into error, to cause to believe what is false, or disbelieve what is true. This, then, would imply that there exists an ORIGIN of Truth, a Righteous SOURCE of Authority who has a Purpose for the human race which the nations of this world and the people ruled by them know nothing about. The power that the devil exercises over the nations of this world is superhuman, extreme, awesome, he is "the god of this world" (2 Cor. 4: 3, 4 and 1 John 5: 19, Revised Standard Version [R. S. V. ]). he has fashioned his earthly organization according to his own liking and maintains control of it by employing his three ruling elements. These three elements are politics, commerce and religion. These three elements are his very own brainchild, and over these three elements, he is god.

The devil has cast a veil of ignorance and gloom over the nations, which YAHWEH* alone can and will remove (Isa. 25: 7). satan has imprisoned and held captive all the races of mankind by keeping the Truth hidden from them (Isa. 61: 1). Those who have been instrumental in accomplishing the devil’s purpose, which is to keep the people from knowing the Truth, are the religionists of this world, of which the scribes and pharisees were a prototype. (Refer to Matthew 23: 1-39. )

Yahshua** has this to say in John 8: 32:

And ye shall know the truth, and the truthshall make you free.

However, to know the Truth, to understand the Purpose of the Almighty GOD YAHWEH, is a great blessing and YAHWEH reserves it for those who properly consider it to be the highest honor attainable. It is for this reason that HE has caused the Bible, which is HIS Word, to be written in such a manner as to defy man’s ability to gain the understanding by human efforts alone. Isaiah aptly described the plight of those who do not meet with YAHWEH’S approval and therefore are unable to gain the understanding when he was inspired to record these words in Isaiah 29: 11, 12:

11 And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith,I cannot; for it is sealed:12 And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I am not learned.

So we see that no amount of worldly learning can open to these individuals the secret—the secret that YAHWEH has decreed would remain a secret to all except those of whom HE approves. Psalm 25: 14 has this to say:

The secret of the LORD [YAHWEH] is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

Matthew 11: 25 states:

At that time Jesus [Yahshua] answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.

This is further emphasized in Matthew 13: 10, 11:

10 And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?II He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.

YAHWEH also states in Isaiah 28: 11, as correctly translated from the original Hebrew and also correctly clarified by The Restored Israel of YAHWEH, that HE would speak to these people "with stammering lips and with the tongue of the future. " One who stammers does not speak clearly. One who speaks with the tongue of the future, or of events that you do not yet see, is not understood at all. Israel*** understands only through the outpouring of YAHWEH’S Holy Spirit. Again

YAHWEH The Unknown GOD

YAHWEH is revealing to us that many would never understand.

Before the secret of YAHWEH is revealed, we must first understand how this comes about and what channel HE employs to publish and make known these revealed Truths. Revelation Five states that a Book was sealed with seven seals. This Book is not the Book of Revelation alone because the prophecies contained in the Book of Revelation are, for instance, in accord with the prophecies recorded by Daniel the Prophet, whose words were written over six hundred years prior to the visions given to John, which we know of as "The Revelation of Saint John. "

The support given by the writings of Daniel to the revelations of the Apostle John and vice versa and the harmony between the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures, commonly known as the Old and New Testaments, attest to the fact that the Bible has only one AUTHOR; HE is YAHWEH the Almighty GOD. Such being the case, the Book that was sealed with seven seals mentioned in Revelation Five is the entire Word of GOD, the Holy Bible. Seven is a Divine number denoting completeness, for we note that no one in heaven or earth or under the earth could open the Book and loose the seals thereof. Now, this does not mean that no one could literally open the Book—anyone with even one hand could open the Book—but that which they could not open and that which was completely sealed was the understanding contained in the Book. Revelation 5: 5 states:

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.

This is referring to Yahshua the Messiah, for He was the first to be given the honor to gain the understanding and reveal the secrets that were hidden therein. The reason that He was given this honor was because of His being subjected to the severest test brought upon Him by the devil and his visible organization, which is this world. Through all this He maintained His integrity and did not yield to the devil in the minutest detail, but prevailed, or came out victoriously. Therefore, He was able to state in John 16: 33:

... but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Further reference to this is found in Hebrews 4: 15

and 1 Peter 2: 22.When Yahshua the Messiah came on earth, it was

primarily to vindicate His FATHER’S Holy Name. The Holy Name of YAHWEH has been blasphemed by satan the devil. Mankind, who is created in YAHWEH’S image, which means that he possesses the attributes of YAHWEH (these attributes are love, justice, wisdom and power), has been reduced to the level of a beast. However, Yahshua upheld His FATHER’S Name in a perfect manner, proving that the devil could not turn everyone against YAHWEH.

Yahshua also came on earth to redeem the human race, becoming the sacrificial Lamb for the sin which we inherited from Adam, so that man would no longer have to die an everlasting death for their sins. And finally, while on earth, He began to gather the Church (Ecclesia, which in the Greek means "called out Members"). These are also referred to as His Bride because they are closely associated with Him in the heavens. Their position is that of Kings and Priests, and they will "reign over the earth" (Rev. 5: 10, The Complete Bible, an American Translation [Greek Scriptures] by Edgar J. Goodspeed [Gspd. ]). They will reign from the beginning of YAHWEH’S Kingdom and forever after. The first one thousand years of their reign will be devoted to the restoring of the entire obedient human race to perfection. Yahshua and His Bride make up the Heavenly Portion of YAHWEH’S Kingdom. There is, however, an Earthly Portion to HIS Kingdom, for the prayer uttered by Yahshua states this very plainly. Matthew 6: 10, R. S. V.:

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.

Also Matthew 5: 5:

Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Again, Isaiah 45: 18 states:

... God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am YAHWEH; and there is none else.

And furthermore Psalm 115: 16:

The heaven, even the heavens, are YAHWEH’S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men.

2

YAHWEH The Unknown GODThe fulfillment of this scripture will he fully realized one thousand years after Yahshua takes over His office as King of Israel and wickedness has been completely eradicated and all creation have lovingly and willingly submitted themselves entirely to the Will of YAHWEH. This event will be inaugurated at the end of the one thousand years which began on April 9, 1917.

To understand the manner of government that will prevail on earth is of the greatest importance for those who would do the Will of the Almighty, All-wise GOD, the CREATOR of heaven and earth, YAHWEH. In this world, HE is theUnknown GOD, for the world does not understand HIS Purpose. However, it is even more important for you to recognize the beginning of HIS Kingdom on earth. YAHWEH states in Psalm 147: 19, 20, The Jerusalem Bible (J. B. ):

19 He reveals his word to Jacob, hisstatutes and rulings to Israel:20 he never does this for other nations, henever reveals his rulings to them.

Instantaneously and automatically this statement precludes any possible claim made by any other nation that YAHWEH deals with them, for HE deals solely with HIS Restored Israel of Promise. In the past, all other nations who did not know the GOD of Israel and who were not under HIS Law, nations that HE had no dealings with, were called gentiles or heathen. And because of the fact that HE does not deal with anyone but Israel, HIS Israel of Promise, all other nations today remain heathen, for none of them understand HIS Purpose. The nation of israel was made up of the offspring, or descendants, of three Faithful Patriarchs:Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jacob, who wrestled with an Angel all night and would not let him go until he received YAHWEH’S blessing, was told that he would no longer be called Jacob but Israel, for Israel means "he who strives with GOD" (Gen. 32: 24-28). The descendants of Jacob (Israel) were called the children of Israel, from whom YAHWEH made up the nation of israel. If faith and the love of righteousness are characteristics that can be inherited, then the Israelites’ reverence for YAHWEH and faith in HIS promises should have matched that of the Patriarchs. However, in view of the course taken by the majority of the children of israel, YAHWEH proved conclusively that these characteristics are not inherited but stem only from an individual’s desire and choice to do what is just and right. This proves that man is a free moral agent and is absolutely free to make his own

decisions. The questions that many may now ask are these: If the Israelites truly were GOD’S chosen people, why did they fail so miserably to measure up to that which YAHWEH expected of them? Did their conduct take YAHWEH by surprise? Can YAHWEH make mistakes? The reason that the israel of old failed was because they failed to live up to their name. The name Israel means "he who strives with GOD, ” that is, strives to attain GOD’S blessing. For the israel of the flesh to be the Israel of YAHWEH, each and every individual would have had to have, in some form or another, demonstrated the keen and earnest desire to attain that blessing as Jacob did, and would have had to be chosen only after he had proven himself. This was not done with the israel of the flesh, but they were taken en masse, or collectively. For this reason the israel of the flesh was not the Israel of GOD (Rom. 9: 6-8, R. S. V. ). Their course of action did not take YAHWEH by surprise, nor does YAHWEH make mistakes, for HE is the All-wise GOD knowing the end from the beginning (Isa. 46: 9, 10). To prove that YAHWEH will have no more dealings with the israel of the flesh, reference is made to Hosea 1: 6:

And she conceived again, and bare a daughter. And God said unto him, Call her name Loruhamah: for I will no more have mercy upon the house of Israel; but I will utterly take them away.

And Amos 8: 2, The James Moffatt Translation (Moff. Trans. ):

Then said he, "Amos, what do you see? " "A basket of ripe fruit, " said I; and the Eternal said to me, "So is the doom ripe for my people Israel; never again will I pardon them. "

In spite of this, YAHWEH continues to make mention of Israel as HIS Servant and promises a restoration of Israel. Isaiah 14: 1, R. S. Y., has this tosay:

YAHWEH will have compassion on Jacob and will again choose Israel, and will set them in their own land, and aliens will join them and will cleave to the house of Jacob.

Setting them in their own land does not mean a particular geographical location, but does mean that they will be in an environment where they will feel at home, under an administration ruled in love,

3

YAHWEH The Unknown GODjustice, wisdom and backed by the almighty power of YAHWEH. The present-existing governments, which make up the devil’s organization, are ruled in selfishness, injustice, stupidity and brute force; and no one who loves righteousness can feel at home under this kind of administration. Verse 7 of this same chapter proves that setting them in their own land does mean the whole earth, for Isaiah 14: 7 states:

The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

Psalm 72: 7 bears out that under Yahshua’s righteous rule, the righteous will flourish. That the land that Israel was to possess was referring to the whole earth is even indicated in the original promise given to Jacob found in Genesis 28: 13, 14 which states:

13 ... I am YAHWEH God of Abraham thyfather, and the God of Isaac: the landwhereon thou best, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of theearth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seedshall all the families of the earth be blessed.

Again, in Isaiah 49: 1-3, YAHWEH calls Israel HIS Servant in whom HE will be glorified. Also, in Isaiah 19: 25, HE states that Israel will be HIS inheritance. In Jeremiah 51: 17-24, HE calls Israel HIS battle-axe and weapons [weapon] of war, indicating that Israel will bring honor to YAHWEH by becoming HIS instrument by which HE brings an end to this wicked system. However, this is not done by actual physical warfare but by a spiritual war, a war of truth against lies, for Yahshua strikes the nations with the sword of His mouth. Proof of this is found in Revelation 19: 15 which states:

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

Also, in Revelation 1: 16:

And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two- edged sword: and his countenance was as

the sun shineth in his strength.

Finally, more evidence is found in Ephesians 6: 12:

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Where then is the apparent contradiction in YAHWEH’S pronouncement of doom on the israel of the flesh, which has brought reproach to HIS Name? Why then does HE go on to promise endless blessings to an Israel in which HE has absolute confidence that they will serve HIM faithfully? The Apostle Paul, for one, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, gives us the answer in Romans 9: 6-8, R. S. V.:

6 But it is not as though the word of God had failed. For not all who are descended from Israel belong to Israel,7 and not all are children of Abraham because they are his descendants; but "Through Isaac shall your descendants be named. "8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are reckoned as descendants.

By way of explanation, Paul is saying that the original promises of blessings made to Israel still hold true. They have not failed because the israel of the flesh was cut down, for not all the descendants of israel measured up to true Israelites. This would mean that they would have to have faith in YAHWEH’S promises, and would have to strive for HIS blessings. Furthermore, the Children of Abraham could stem from any nationality as long as they possessed the faith of Abraham (Gal. 3: 7). Isaac was the only begotten son of Abraham promised to him and Sarah. YAHWEH commanded Abraham to sacrifice his only begotten son on an altar, from which Isaac was miraculously spared. This pictures the death and resurrection of the only begotten Son of GOD: Yahshua. Isaac thereforetypified Yahshua, and when YAHWEH stated that "In Isaac shall thy seed be called, " HE meant that the true Israelites would accept and follow the Messiah. Verse 8 sums it up beautifully wherein is stated: the children of the flesh are not theChildren of GOD (this is why they failed), but the Children of Promise, or the Israel of Promise, are

YAHWEH The Unknown GODcounted as HIS descendants. This is the Israel that will succeed and will fulfill and receive all the promises made by YAHWEH to Israel.

You may, by this time, begin to wonder who will make up this Israel of Promise who, unlike the israel of old, will honor YAHWEH and help to vindicate HIS Holy Name in the eyes of all creation. Romans 11: 25, 26 has this to say:

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.26 And so all Israel shall be saved....

This means the Israel of Promise will be made up of people of all races, nations and tongues who put YAHWEH and HIS Purpose first and foremost in their lives. For YAHWEH is a Just GOD. YAHWEH shows no partiality toward HIS creatures. Romans 2: 11, R. S. Y., clearly states:

For God shows no partiality.

This is also brought out in Hosea 1: 8-10, R. S. Y.:

8 When she had weaned Not pitied, she conceived and bore a son.9 And YAHWEH said, "Call his name Not my people [This is referring to the fallen israel of the flesh. ], for you are not my people and I am not your God" [which all pertains to the israel of the flesh],10 Yet the number of the people of [True] Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which can be neither measured nor numbered; and in the place where it was said to them [the israel of the flesh], "You are not my people, " it shall be said to them [the Israel of Promise], "Sons of the living God. "

This shows that the gentiles now replace the israel of the flesh and become his people and it is they who shall become as the sand of the sea, which can be neither measured nor numbered, and it is these faithful gentiles who are now called Israel. This is also made evident in Romans 9: 23-26, The Living Bible (L. B. ):

23, 24 And he has a right to take others such as ourselves, who have been made for pouring the riches of his glory into, whether we are Jews or Gentiles, and to be kind to

us so that everyone can see how very great his glory is.25 Remember what the prophecy of Hosea says? There God says that he will find other children for himself (who are not from his Jewish family) and will love them, though no one had ever loved them before.26 And the heathen, of whom it once was said, "You are not my people, " shall be called "sons of the Living God. "

And Romans 9: 30-33:

30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which is of faith.31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.32 Wherefore? Because they sought it notby faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at thatstumblingstone;33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion astumblingstone and rock of offence: andwhosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

The claim made by the religionists of this world, who teach that the returning of the fleshly jews to what is termed their homeland is the fulfillment of YAHWEH’S promise to restore Israel, simply reveals their extreme ignorance of YAHWEH’S Purpose for the human race; they are literally trying to shove a square peg into a round hole! Firstly, for the israel of the flesh to be restored, all of the twelve tribes would have to be represented. Ten of these tribes were conquered by the king of assyria; he scattered their members throughout the nations and brought people of foreign nations to dwell in the territory that had belonged to israel. There is now no trace of them; their identity is completely lost (2 Kings 17: 1-24). This would automatically preclude any restoration of fleshly israel. Secondly, the restoration of Israel would have to be led and directed by Yahshua the Messiah (Mic. 5: 2; Acts 1: 6, 7; Isa. 9: 6, 7 and Gen. 49: 10). The jews, through their leaders, have rejected their Messiah. For those who insist that the jews will awaken later, let us inform you that when some do, then, and then only, will HE bless them, for HE does not deal with anyone who is not seeking HIM and who has no faith in HIM (Heb.

5

YAHWEH The Unknown GOD11: 6). When those who gain understanding are blessed, they will receive the same blessings along with all other peoples of the earth, for GOD is no respecter of persons nor does HE show any partiality toward any race, for from one [forefather], he has created every nation of mankind. They all stem from one common origin (Acts 17: 26, Gspd. ). Furthermore, if the bloodline of judah were to be used to restore Israel, it would have to be pure and not mixed with any other nationality beginning with Jacob’s offspring unto the present time. This is ridiculous, for the jews were already greatly contaminated as to bloodline centuries before Yahshua came on earth (Ezra 9: 1, 2)! And what has centuries of living amongst the gentiles done for this bloodline? From outward observation of the refugee jews who came to this country, we find that the german jew resembled the germans, the russian jew resembled the russians, the italian jew resembled the Italians. There is only one answer to this—intermarriage. And, if the teaching of the religionists of this world is really believed in by them, that is, that the israel of the flesh is the Israel of GOD and it is now being restored in Palestine, may we ask why then is it made up of russians, germans, italians, hungarians, and so on?! This stupid and illogical hypothesis thoroughly disgusts us and we will now terminate it and deal with something constructive, deal with truth, deal with YAHWEH’S True Purpose for HIS People whom HE calls Israel.

The hope that YAHWEH gave HIS typical people was the restoration of Israel as a nation, and this was to be accomplished after the coming and enthronement of the Messiah. Then, and then only, would the blessings of fulfillment promised to HIS People be realized.

That which was not revealed at that time was the magnitude of YAHWEH’S Purpose. They did not realize that the Messiah, after coming on earth, would have to first sacrifice His perfect human life as a sin offering in order to redeem the human race from the death sentence passed upon them through their father Adam. The sin which we inherited from Adam caused all mankind to be born imperfect. This means that man no longer had complete control of his thoughts and desires; this means that he would no longer function in a perfect and Holy manner; this means that his thoughts and actions would infringe on the inalienable rights of others; this means that he would contend with his own conscience, causing man to be at war with himself. This morbidcondition, this gruesome affliction, is the result of inherited sin, and we are powerless to redeem

ourselves! Many individuals, in order to ease the pain of an ever-present and painful conscience, have cut the cord that leads to the conscience so they may no longer be in torment. Paul describes this as having their conscience seared as with a hot iron. More and more of mankind is resorting to this superficial relief, especially among the upper classes, the rulers of this world. As this condition intensifies in both depth and number of recruits, the degeneration of man is rapidly accelerating, and the system that they maintain, the method employed to govern themselves, rapidly degenerates along with them until it will no longer be tolerable, even to themselves, and they will turn on each other in the frenzy of utter disgust and hopelessness felt by a people who have permitted their selfishness to create a monster which now possesses them in the same manner that they controlled their subjects. They have, at this time, become the slaves of an intolerable system, and they must now deliver themselves at all costs. They will blame each other for their misery; they will turn on each other with a madness that has never been equaled nor will it ever be again (Zech. 14: 13 and Isa. 13: 14, 15).

Another of the mysteries concerning the restoration of Israel—which is actually theestablishment of YAHWEH’S Kingdom—that remained hidden to the israel of the flesh, was that, with the restoration of Israel, their King would no longer sit upon an earthly throne in the old city of jerusalem, but that there would be a New Jerusalem, an heavenly one (Rev. 3: 12; 21: 2, 10 and Gal. 4: 26), and that the throne of the Messiah would be elevated to the heavens and associated with Him would be His Bride made up of 144, 000 Members, who would be the Firstfruits of all mankind to be resurrected (Rev. 14: 1-5; James 1: 18; Rev. 5: 9, 10; 20: 4, 6). This number began with the Apostles. These would be given the dual office of Kings and Priests under Yahshua; this is what makes Yahshua King of Kings (1 Tim. 6: 15 and Rev. 17: 14). He is not, however, the King over the present rulers of this world, for this world, or system, belongs to the devil.

When YAHWEH began to deal with israel as a nation, HE used Moses as HIS appointed Prophet and directed him in the manner in which HE would have israel ruled. Moses was HIS visible Representative to israel. HE spoke to Moses and inspired him and Moses became the visible channel that HE used to direct HIS people. After Moses, HE used Joshua (which should be written Yahshua) in the same manner, and finally Samuel, who was the last of the Faithful Prophets before faithless

YAHWEH The Unknown GODand restless israel became dissatisfied with YAHWEH’S form of government and wanted a king like the other nations to rule over them. YAHWEH, at this time, informed Samuel that israel had again rejected HIM as they had done many times before (1 Sam. 8: 6-8).

During this period of time when israel was ruled by kings, YAHWEH never failed to have HIS inspired Prophets representing HIM. These were HIS Spokesmen—guiding, correcting and warning israel through its many phases of conduct or misconduct toward YAHWEH. But primarily, and that which was of the greatest importance to mankind was the manner in which YAHWEH used these Prophets to prophesy of the coming age of blessings, the time when all lovers of righteousness would receive the joys of YAHWEH’S benevolent Reign. This Reign is HIS Kingdom; this Kingdom will be in full operation on earth only when HE restores HIS Israel of Promise, and this Kingdom will last forever. This means, then, that disobedience and wickedness would never again arise to possess the land. YAHWEH emphasizes this fact in Nahum 1: 9 when HE states:

What do ye imagine against YAHWEH? he will make an utter end: affliction [orrather, rivalry] shall not rise up the second time.

For this to be effective, the Rulers selected by YAHWEH to administer this righteous rule must prove their love of righteousness and their obedience to HIM beyond the shadow of a doubt, even as HIS beloved Son proved His obedience by pouring out His life’s blood without compromising with the enemy, who is satan the devil and who accomplishes his purpose through the rulers of this world (Phil. 2: 5-11 and Heb. 5: 7-10). It is these same men who have proven their integrity in the past, the Faithful Men of Old, the Prophets who lived before Yahshua came to earth as a man; these are the ones whom YAHWEH has chosen to be the Princes, or visible Rulers, over HIS Earthly Kingdom. And now to prove this fact by pointing out what YAHWEH, the Almighty GOD, HIMSELF has to say concerning this. In Isaiah 32: 1-5, R. S. V., YAHWEH has caused to be recorded these words:

1 Behold, a king will reign in righteousness, and princes will rule in justice.2 Each will be like a hiding place from the wind, a covert from the tempest, like streams of water in a dry place, like the

shade of a great rock in a weary land.3 Then the eyes of those who see will not be closed, and the ears of those who hear will hearken.4 The mind of the rash will have good judgment, and the tongue of the stammerers will speak readily and distinctly.5 The fool will no more be called noble, nor the knave said to be honorable.

The King that will reign in righteousness is understood to be Yahshua, YAHWEH’S Anointed King. However, this particular verse does not specify as to whom HE will select to fulfill the role of the Princes who are to rule in justice. Psalm 45: 16 has this to say:

Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.

This psalm was written by David. David, who was a man after YAHWEH’S own heart (1 Sam. 13: 14) and was also YAHWEH’S chosen and anointed king, prefigured Yahshua, who will rule in YAHWEH’S Kingdom forever. This means that David and the role that he played as king over israel were only typical. Therefore, these words are directed to Yahshua and not to David. In reading the record of Yahshua’s birth, we find that His lineage can be traced back to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. These, then, were His Forefathers. Yahshua then states in John 11: 25:

Yahshua said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.

This means that He has been given the authority to resurrect the dead. When He does begin to resurrect the dead that make up the Earthly Class, He begins by resurrecting YAHWEH’S Faithful Prophets of Old. This takes place after YAHWEH takes HIS rightful authority and begins HIS Reign by having satan the devil thrown out of heaven onto the earth. This took place in 1913 and resulted in the first world war (Rev. 12: 9; 11: 17, 18; 12: 12). It is after these events that Yahshua begins to resurrect the Prophets of Old. Yahshua states in Luke 13: 28, 29 that you will see these Prophets back on earth, and the people of goodwill from all points of the compass would flock over to them:

28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of

teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.29 And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.

This is also found in Matthew 8: 11. Daniel the Prophet was also told that he would rest (in the grave) and stand in his lot at the end of the days or, according to Smith’s translation, * "enjoy your portion at the end of the days. " Daniel 12: 8-10, 13 states:

8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: forthe words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

And finally, verse 13, which states:

But go thou thy way till the end be: forthou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

The words that YAHWEH caused to be recorded in Jeremiah 1: 9, 10 were never fulfilled in his lifetime, but were meant to be realized in these last days now that YAHWEH has restored him to authority:

9 Then YAHWEH put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And YAHWEH said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

Jeremiah’s denunciations of the heathen nations, some 2, 400 years ago, were prophetic and did not vindicate YAHWEH’S Name by destroying the heathen opposers of HIS people israel once and for all, as will be the case at the end of the world. Nor were HIS people restored to the peaceful and secure rest that HE promised them. But the entire

fulfillment of these verses will begin to take place shortly with Israel’s world-wide publicity. The nations of this world are made up of three elements, which YAHWEH refers to as "three unclean spirits like frogs" (Rev. 16: 13). These are politics, commerce and religion. These will be systematically and thoroughly dissected and exposed to the open view of all men of goodwill. What they see will turn the stomachs of all lovers of righteousness, and never again will they have anything to do with that which is unclean. In exposing the ugly structure of the nations of this world and placing alongside it the beautiful and Holy structure of YAHWEH’S Kingdom, a glaring contrast will reveal itself that will further emphasize the fact that the two systems have absolutely nothing in common.

big business would have you believe that it is operating for the benefit of mankind and that without it we would not be enjoying the comforts of a so-called advanced society. This would imply that mankind, without the parental control and guidance of big business, would be incapable of producing these appliances. Let us emphasize this one cardinal point, and that point is that big business has one, and only one, incentive—profit—and one, and only one, goal—the accumulation of wealth—and, because of these selfish motivations, their appliances are vastly inferior to what they would be if their incentive were sincerely motivated to benefit mankind. Therefore, big business is not a blessing but a curse, and shortly, when YAHWEH destroys it, the human race will finally be free to do the Will of YAHWEH, which is for all men to work together under HIS Holy Administration and to produce all the material needs that men require for the good of all. Never again will a greedy monster arise to possess the wealth of the earth—even possessing such critical essentials as man’s food supply, releasing it only when their price terms are met.

YAHWEH’S Kingdom will employ no form of monetary exchange whatsoever. This will eliminate forever the possibility of anyone gaining a controlling interest by accumulating more wealth than others. YAHWEH’S resurrected Prophets will understand this and will go about structuring the means of producing our material needs along this pattern.

The authority given to Jeremiah "to build, and to plant, " mentioned in Jeremiah 1: 10, is the authority given to him by YAHWEH to begin the construction of the Kingdom according to the pattern shown him by his GOD.

In the beginning of YAHWEH’S dealings with

YAHWEH The Unknown GOD

Israel, HE governed them by Prophets. Their duties were to judge and counsel the people of israel (Ex. 18: 13), but eventually the people rejected these Prophets and wanted a king to judge them in their stead (1 Sam. 8: 5). This was typical of the type of authority that will prevail at the time of the restoration of Israel, and Isaiah 1: 24-28 makes this point very clear:

24 Therefore saith the Lord, YAHWEH of hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will ease me of mine adversaries, and avenge me of mine enemies:25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, andpurely purge away thy dross, and take away all thy tin: [or according to The LivingBible (L. B. ): "I myself will melt you in asmelting pot, and skim off your slag. "]26 And I will restore thy judges as at thefirst, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called,The city of righteousness, the faithful city.27 Zion shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness.28 And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together, and they that forsake YAHWEH shall be consumed.

This means that Israel will again be gathered into a nation and that YAHWEH will rule over them by and through HIS resurrected Prophets who are now on earth, and you will recognize these Prophets only by their complete knowledge of YAHWEH’S Purpose for mankind, their harmonious understanding of the Scriptures, their strength and faith in YAHWEH, their devotion and uncompromising course they take in the service of their GOD. These virtuous traits will be made manifest to all of YAHWEH’S People, for they are the ones who are hungering and thirsting after righteousness (Matt. 5: 6), and they are the ones who are blessed by YAHWEH to recognize these Prophets.

YAHWEH is now gathering HIS Nation, a Nation that will increase at an unheard-of rate of speed, a Nation that is made up of people of understanding.

Concerning the actual gathering of YAHWEH’S Nation in these last days, before the destruction of this evil world, YAHWEH speaks to HIS People these words recorded in Zephaniah 2: 1-3, as correctly translated from the Hebrew (to be read from right to left):

The clarification:

1 Gather yourselves together, yea, gather together, Oh Nation not rapacious.2 Before the words of execution of the statute for this day pass through as blown chaff (and is lost forever), before the burning anger of YAHWEH come upon you, before the day of YAHWEH’S anger come upon you.3 Seek you this same YAHWEH all you oppressed-meek of the earth, you whose reward is in travail. Seek righteousness,

YAHWEH The Unknown GODseek humility. Perhaps you will be sheltered in the day of YAHWEH’S anger.

This means that YAHWEH’S timetable for the destruction of this world is fixed and that the New Nation had better gather itself quickly before YAHWEH’S wrath is poured out upon this wicked system; and they had better seek, find and obey HIS righteous Purpose for mankind, or they will go down in the final war. This is the war that will bring a complete end to Satan’s organization. Everyone that does not belong to YAHWEH’S Nation, HIS Restored Israel, will die. This will include every american citizen, every Christian, everyone that does not come over to YAHWEH’S Restored Israel under HIS resurrected Prophets. These will have to face the fury of HIS wrath, which has been held back for six thousand years in order to prove to all creation that a system based on selfishness and injustice would bring oppression and misery to HIS creatures and could not endure.

Again we want to emphasize this fact: thatYAHWEH has, in the past, dealt with israel alone. HE had dealt with no other nation. The blessings promised to the human race on earth will only be realized when HE fulfills HIS promise to restore Israel. This has already begun, and some of its Members have already been confronted by the authorities of the devil’s organization, who are ignorant of YAHWEH’S Purpose for HIS People.

The restoration of Israel will be the establishment of YAHWEH’S Kingdom on earth, which the blind and those led by the blind—the Christian leaders and their congregations—seem to be praying for when they utter these words in Yahshua’s prayer to His FATHER: "Thy kingdom come, Thy will bedone, On earth as it is in heaven" (Matt. 6: 10, R. S. V. ). These are words they have been taught to memorize and are repeated by them parrot-like and with about as much understanding. To prove that this analysis is correct, we will shortly find that the greatest opponents of HIS Kingdom will be those who call themselves Christians. These "born-again believers and acceptors of the Lord Jesus Christ" are the superpatriots of the various nations that they inhabit, which said nations belong to the devil and are controlled by him.

When these Satanic nations, which call themselves Christian nations, confront one another in open warfare, these "born-again believers in the Lord Jesus Christ" murder one another like the true ignorant heathen that they really are. The True Servants of YAHWEH can readily spot them. James 4: 4 pertains to them when it states:

Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

Furthermore, if Yahshua were to come down on earth as a man, which He will never do (2 Cor. 5: 16), and begin to denounce this wicked, corrupt and hypocritical system, especially religion, as He did to the scribes and pharisees, these same "born- again believers in the Lord Jesus Christ" would inform the f. b. i. or c. i. a. or some other organization in this Christian country to have them rub Him out. Of course, they will never get their bloody hands on Him again, but they will direct their efforts in stopping the work of the Princes, who are the Sons of Yahshua. These are the resurrected Prophets of Old (Ps. 45: 16) who are now doing YAHWEH’S Will on earth, and Yahshua states that "Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me" (Matt. 25: 40). He states also: "Wherefore by their fruits ye shallknow them" (Matt. 7: 20). These blinded individuals, who think they are doing GOD’S Will, make up the members of this world who have been deceived by the devil, for the devil has deceived the whole world (Rev. 12: 9), and this does not exclude one citizen of this world, otherwise, YAHWEH’S Word would not be true when HE states that the devil has deceived the whole world. Israel, however, is not deceived, for Israel alone is not of this world. Israel alone gives its allegiance to YAHWEH’S heavenly King, Yahshua (Phil. 3: 20). Israel alone are HIS People and it is Israel that will be hated by all the nations of this world, hated by all those who are citizens of this world.

Returning to YAHWEH’S only Purpose for mankind, which is to gather HIS People Israel into a New Nation, YAHWEH comforts HIS People (who have been given authority to carry out HIS Purpose on earth) with these words recorded in Isaiah 26: 2:

Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in.

Opening the gates means that the time has finally arrived for the New Nation to be accepted. The SOURCE of all Truth is YAHWEH, and those who keep, or obey, the Truth are HIS People and HIS People were from the beginning, and shall ever be, Israel.

Although the Prophets have been instructed by YAHWEH and are prepared to cope with the rise of the New Nation, the members of this world will

YAHWEH The Unknown GODbe completely taken by surprise. The devil has kept the Good News, or Gospel, hidden from his people in order that he may maintain control over them for as long as he can. 2 Corinthians 4: 3, 4 states:

3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not....

The Gospel, or Good News, is not merely blind acceptance of the Lord Jesus Christ, but the Good News is the overall Purpose of YAHWEH for mankind, which shall be accomplished through Yahshua, and this Purpose is to restore Israel as a nation. This Nation is made up of all people who strive for HIS blessing, and over this Nation YAHWEH has appointed and anointed HIS Son Yahshua (Mic. 5: 2 and Isa. 9: 6, 7).

The sudden rise of the New Nation is described in Isaiah 66: 8 which has this to say:

Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children.

Travailing, or birth pains, normally precedes the actual birth of a child. These pains are evidence that the child will soon come forth. In symbolic language, YAHWEH likens the sudden birth of HIS

Nation as something that takes the world by surprise. To them there was no indication that anything like this would ever happen, at least not at this time.

The rapid increase in Members will be spectacular. All intelligent, thinking people of goodwill will be convinced and accept this as the Truth because of the love, justice, wisdom and power of the message. They will see that, for the first time since HIS dealings with the israel of old, YAHWEH is again dealing with men and directing the course for all lovers of righteousness to follow.

This world is selfish, unjust and stupid. This world is brutal, and YAHWEH states that it must, and shall, go down never to come up again. Then, and then only, will the words recorded in Revelation 21: 4, 5 be fulfilled, for not only will HE change the system and destroy all the enemies of mankind, but HE will also restore men to perfection and grant them everlasting life on a paradise earth. Revelation 21: 4, 5 states:

4 And God shall wipe away all tears fromtheir eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the formerthings are passed away.5 And he that sat upon the throne said,Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are trueand faithful.

Remember Yahshua’s words to the israel of the flesh recorded in Matthew 21: 43:

"Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. "

The Nation that is now fulfilling this prophecy is The Restored Israel of YAHWEH (HIS Israel of Promise) which is now being gathered!
