People, in this prophesied, present generation, think little or nothing of what is called the Holy Scriptures. Yet, only in those Scriptures is the Way to Eternal Life shown. Not only is Eternal Life shown, but also the way to Peace, Abundant Joy, Healthy minds and bodies, and Abundant Living. In these Inspired Scriptures, the Creator, Who created mankind, gives Laws of Righteousness that He shows will bring about all of the previously mentioned things to the earth and to those living throughout the universe. In fact, He shows in these same Inspired Holy Scriptures that the reason He created mankind was for the purpose of bringing mankind to Perfection in Righteousness and giving mankind, after being trained by Yahweh, Authority to educate all beings on earth and in the universe in the way to True Peace, Joy, Love and Abundant Living. The catholic church is actually preventing mankind from achieving the goal for which Yahweh created mankind. In their desire to rule and to selfishly fulfill their own lust and their craving for power, the roman catholic church has held mankind back from what the Savior, Yahshua Messiah, shows that Yahweh offers mankind. Mankind was created and placed on earth around 4004 BCE. The proposition was put before the man, Adam, and Eve, his wife, to qualify for an everlasting position in what is called the Kingdom of Yahweh or The House of Yahweh; both mean the same. Since that time, Yahweh shows that many people have kept Yahweh’s Laws, Statutes, and Judgments and have qualified for a position in the Kingdom of Yahweh. It is said of Abraham that he obeyed. Genesis 26:5— Because Abraham obeyed My Voice, and kept My Charge, My Commandments, My Statutes, and My Laws. Sad, but true, all will not qualify themselves for Life in Yahweh’s Kingdom, that being the only reason mankind was created. So, if anyone does not choose Righteousness and Life, he or she automatically has no right to the Tree of Life. They have chosen not to live and not to be a part of bringing Righteousness to the universe, the purpose for which they were created. Sad to say, but many love sin, which actually keeps people from truly enjoying life. Sin is the very thing that causes misery–sickness, disease, confusion, hatred, fighting, war, and destruction–and keeps people from enjoying life. Luke 13:28— There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, and Isaac, and Yaaqob, and all the Prophets in the Kingdom of Yahweh, and yourselves thrust out. Yahchanan 3:19-20— 19 Now this is the condemnation: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness rather than Light,because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one who practices evil hates the Light, and neither comes to the Light for fear his deeds would be exposed. Yahchanan 15:22-23— 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had their sins revealed; but now they have no cloak, covering for, their sins. 23 He who hates Me, also hates My Father. Yahchanan 3:21— But he who practices Truth comes to the Light, so that it may be plainly seen that his deeds have been done through Yahweh. Truth Psalm 119:142— Your Righteousness is an Everlasting Righteousness, because Your Law is the Truth! Light Psalm 119:105— Your Laws are a lamp to our feet, and a Light to our path. Notice what Yahchanan 3:20 says about everyone who practices evil. Compare: I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10— 4 Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Laws; for sin is the transgression of the Laws. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous. 8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil. 10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice Righteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his neighbor! Verse 10…does not love. Are you noticing that love is diminishing? Are you wondering why? The answer is: the roman catholic church did away with Yahweh’s Laws of Love. The world has nothing to teach them True Love anymore. Notice the Savior’s Words concerning this. Mattithyah 24:12— And because iniquity will abound, the love of the many will grow cold. Iniquity means exactly what the catholics, christians, and their supreme court are doing today. They are refusing, ignoring, and doing away with Yahweh’s Laws. That’s the meaning of iniquity. They tell the world that the Savior did it all for them; but the Savior calls them liars. Yahchanan 8:44— You are of your teacher who is Satan the devil, and whatever she who is your teacher desires, you will do. She was a murderer from the beginning, and remained not in the Truth, because there is no Truth in her. Therefore, when you speak your falsehoods, you speak her words, because she is a liar, and the teacher of all lies! Mattithyah 19:17— But He said to him: Why do you question Me about Righteousness? There is only One Who is the Standard of Perfection, and He is Yahweh; so if you would enter into life, keep the Laws of Yahweh. Revelation 22:12-14— 12 And behold, I come quickly, and My Reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work will be. 13 I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. 14 Blessed are those who keep His Laws, that they may have right to the Tree of Life, and may enter in through the gates into the City. Sin, the breaking of Yahweh’s Laws of Righteousness, is the destructive force against any hope of Peace, Joy, and Love. The choice between Righteousness and Life or sin and destruction is set before each and every person who lives, so that everyone can choose whether they want to overcome the false hope that sin brings or not. Notice Yahweh’s Words in: Deuteronomy 6:25— And it will be our Righteousness if we observe to do all of these Laws before Yahweh our Father, as He has commanded us. Deuteronomy 30:15-17— 15 See, I have set before you this day Life by Righteousness, and death by destruction— 16 In that I command you this day to love Yahweh your Father, by walking in all His ways, by keeping His Laws, His Statutes, and His Judgments, so that you may live and multiply, and so Yahweh your Father may bless you in the land which you go in to possess. 17 But if your heart turns away, and you are not obedient, and you are drawn away to submit to Gods(elohim), to worship them by serving them— Genesis 3:5— For He knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be as Gods (elohim), knowing Righteousness and evil. Deuteronomy 30:18-19— 18 I declare to you this day that you will surely perish; you will not prolong your days in the land which you cross over the Yardan to possess. 19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you this day, that I have set before you Life and death, blessings and curses. Therefore choose Life, so both you and your children may live. Did you notice that the world is passing up blessings because the religions are teaching that Yahweh’s Laws, which assure blessings, are done away with? Because the religions teach it, the people do it. And they are all headed for the lake of fire as shown in Revelation 20:11-13. Notice now: Luke 24:25— Then He said to them: O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the Prophets have spoken! And… Yechetzqyah 18:20-24— 20 The soul that sins, it will die. The son will not bear the iniquity of the father, nor will the father bear the iniquity of the son. The Righteousness of the Righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself. 21 But if the wicked will turn from all his sins that he has committed, and keep all My Statutes, and do that which is Lawful and right, then he will surely live; he will not die. 22 And his transgressions that he has committed will not be mentioned against him; in his Righteousness that he has done, he will live. 23 Do I have any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? says Father Yahweh: No, but rather that he would turn back from his wicked ways, and live. 24 But when the Righteous turns away from his Righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does—should he live? All his Righteousness that he has done will not be mentioned in his behalf. In his trespass that he has trespassed, and in his sin that he has sinned, in them he will die. Yahweh is the Number One Teacher of Perfect Righteousness. His Laws that He gave to mankind to train him for a future position in the Kingdom of Yahweh, if practiced, will guide anyone to absolute Perfection, and bring Righteousness and Wisdom. That very thing is shown in: Psalm 19:7— The Laws of Yahweh are Perfect, converting the whole person. The Testimony of Yahweh is sure, making the simple ones wise. A Foundation for Your Children If you want a perfect foundation for your children, teach them the Laws of Yahweh. Notice this for yourself and see what I mean. If you want your children to be able to refuse evil and practice Righteousness, teach them. In the Books of Exodus and Deuteronomy, Yahweh gives us Ten Commandments (Laws). These are not all of His Laws, but these ten give the Foundation to get one started toward Perfection. Read them and consider how much better the world would be if just these ten were practiced. Exodus 20:1-17— 1 And Yahweh spoke all these words, saying: 2 I am Yahweh your Heavenly Father Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 3 You shall have no hinder gods (elohim) at all. They are in opposition against Me. 4 You shall not make for yourself any carved image; an idol, in the form of anything in heaven above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them nor serve them; for I, Yahweh your Father, am a Heavenly Father Who is zealous for My House. The sexual sins of the fathers will be on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who transgress My Laws and change them. 6 But I will show My love to thousands who love Me by keeping My Laws. 7 You shall not take the Name of Yahweh your Heavenly Father to bring it to nothing, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who brings dishonor upon or profanes His Name. 8 Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it Holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 But the Seventh Day is the Sabbath of Yahweh your Heavenly Father. Therefore, in it you shall do the Work of Yahweh: you, and your wife, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and your cattle, and the stranger whodwells within your gates. 11 For in six days Yahweh made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that are in them; and ceased from this work on the Seventh Day. Therefore, Yahweh blessed the Sabbath Day, and did Righteous Works on it. 12 Honor your father and your mother, so your days may be long upon the land which Yahweh your Father is giving you. 13 You shall not murder. 14 You shall not commit adultery. 15 You shall not steal. 16 You shall not bear false testimony against your neighbor. 17 You shall not covet; lust after, your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that belongs to your neighbor. Neither Yahweh nor His Prophets will deceive you. Yahshua Messiah and His twelve Disciples will not deceive you. But there are plenty of false religions all over the world that will deceive you. The roman catholic church that sits on the seven hills of Rome is bringing deception to the whole world at this time. Revelation 17:1-6, 9, 15, 18— 1 And there came one of the seven malakim who had the seven bowls, and talked with me, saying to me: Come, I will show you the sentence of the great whore that sits upon many waters 2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication; practiced idolatry: godworship (the worship of elohim), and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 3 So he carried me away in the Spirit into the midst of godworshipers (worshipers of elohim); and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication. 5 And upon her head was a name written: Mystery Babylon the great, the mother of the harlots and of the abominations of the earth. 6 And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the Saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Yahshua. And when I saw her, I wondered with great astonishment. 9 And here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. 15 And he said to me: The waters which you saw, where the whore sits, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and languages. 18 And the woman whom you saw, is that great city which reigns over the kings of the earth. Revelation 18:1-5— 1 And after these things I saw another malak come down from heaven, having great authority; and the earth was enlightened with His glory. 2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying: Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become thehabitation of demons, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. 3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth have grown rich through the abundance of her delicacies. 4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying: Come out of her, My People, so that you do not partake in her sins, and so that you do not receive of her plagues, 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and Yahweh has remembered her iniquities! Verse 5…her sins. I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10— 4 Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Laws; for sin is the transgression of the Laws. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous. 8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil. 10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice Righteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his neighbor! Before you start thinking that Yahweh or the Savior, Yahshua Messiah, did away with Yahweh’s Laws, please read the Savior’s Words, because He calls those who teach such, liars. Mattithyah 5:17-20— 17 Do not even think that I have come to destroy the Laws or the Prophets; I have not come to destroy them,but to establish them. 18 For truly I say to you; Unless heaven and earth pass away, one yodh—the smallest of the letters—will in no way pass from the Law, until all things are perfected. 19 Whosoever, therefore, will break one of the least of these Laws, and will teach men so, he will be called the least in the Kingdom of Yahweh; but whosoever will do and teach them, the same will be called great in the Kingdom of Yahweh. 20 For I say to you: Unless your Righteousness exceeds the Righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will certainly not enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh. Read further: Mattithyah 7:15-17— 15 Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every Righteous tree brings forth Righteous fruit; but a tree of evil brings forth fruit of iniquity. Understand–Righteous tree established by Yahweh; evil tree, by God/Satan. Genesis 3:1-5— 1 Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any beast of the field which Yahweh had made. And she said to the woman; Has Yahweh indeed said: You shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said to the serpent; We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Yahweh has said: You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, or you will die. 4 And the serpent said to the woman; You will not surely die. 5 For He knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be as Gods (elohim), knowing Righteousness and evil. Yahweh is not a God. Yahweh’s Prophets and Yahshua Messiah identified Yahweh as the Heavenly Father, not a God or lord. The roman catholic church removed the Names Yahweh and Yahshua from the Inspired Scriptures and replaced them with titles of men, rabbis, pharaohs, Gods and lords. Notice the Savior’s Words in: Mattithyah 6:9— After this manner; example and general outline, you should pray: Our Father Who is in heaven, hallowed is Your Name. See Yeremyah’s Words. Yeremyah 23:26-27— 26 How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Yes, they are prophets of the deceit of their own minds; 27 Who devise; plan and scheme, to cause My People to forget My Name through their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbor, just as their fathers have forgotten My Name for baal; lord. Write, call or email for proof. Mattithyah 7:18— A Righteous tree cannot bring forth fruit of iniquity, nor can a tree of evil bring forth fruits of Righteousness. The roman catholic church is not a Righteous tree. There is no Life in it, only iniquity. Notice the next verse. Mattithyah 7:19-20— 19 Every tree which does not bring forth Righteous fruit is cut down, and cast into the fire. 20 Therefore, by their fruits you will know them. Mattithyah 7:21, BOY— Not everyone who says to Me; Teacher! Teacher! will enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh, but only he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. Matthew 7:21, KJV— Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Mattithyah 7:22, BOY— Many will say to Me in that day; Teacher! Teacher! Have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and in Your Name performed many wonderful works? Matthew 7:22, KJV— Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? Remember, they removed Yahweh’s Name and replaced it with lord. Mattithyah 7:23— But then I will declare to them; I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who practice iniquity. In verse 23, the word iniquity means to do away with Yahweh’s Laws. They actually fulfilled Prophecy when they did away with Yahweh’s Laws and removed Yahweh’s Name from the Inspired Writings of the Prophets. Notice and compare the following Scripture. Matthew 11:12, KJV— And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. Remember, violent men took The House of Yahweh by force. Notice, what they were prophesied to do to The House of Yahweh. Daniyl 11:31— And the army will stand on his part, and they will pollute the sanctuary of strength, and will take away the daily, and they will place the Lord of heaven. The army that stood on their part was the roman army. Now, notice what else they were prophesied to do. Daniyl 7:21-25— 21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the Saints, and prevailed against them; 22 Until the Ancient of Days came, and Judgment was given to the Saints of Yahweh; and the time came that the Saints possessed the kingdoms. 23 This is what he said; The fourth beast will be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which will be different from all other kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will tread it down, and break it in pieces. 24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that will arise; and another will rise after them; and he will be different from the first ones, and he will subdue three kings. 25 And he will speak great words against Yahweh, and will wear out; mentally attack to cause to fall away,the Saints of Yahweh, and think to change times; Yahweh’s Feast Days, and Laws; and they will be given into his hand until a time, and times, and the dividing of time. Compare Daniyl 12:5-7 and you will see this roman catholic church with its roman armies, which now include those of the quartet, start to change when the Two Witnesses establish The House of Yahweh in the Last Days or Last Generation. Micahyah 4:1-3— 1 But in the Last Days it will come to pass that the mountain; promotion, of The House of Yahweh will be established in the chief of the nations. It will be raised above all congregations; and all peoples willeventually flow to it. 2 And many people will go and say; Come, and let us go up to the mountain; uplifting, of Yahweh, and to the House of the Father of Yaaqob, and He will teach us of His Ways, and we will walk in His Paths. Because the Laws will depart from Zion, and the Word of Yahweh from Yerusalem. 3 And He will judge between many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation,nor will they learn war anymore. Write, call or email us for more information on this Prophecy. The Last Generation is here and the catholic church will consume herself and her followers in this generation. They speak against Yahweh and change, do away with, and teach against Yahweh’s Laws of Righteousness. We see in Daniyl 7:25, they were prophesied to speak against the Name Yahweh. Compare: Yeremyah 23:26-27— 26 How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Yes, they are prophets of the deceit of their own minds; 27 Who devise; plan and scheme, to cause My People to forget My Name through their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbor, just as their fathers have forgotten My Name for baal; lord. These are the same religions that the Prophet Daniyl said would pollute Yahweh’s House, with an army, by force. Daniyl 11:31— And the army will stand on his part, and they will pollute the sanctuary of strength, and will take away the daily, and they will place the Lord of heaven. What is the Arch of Titus?
The Victory Arch of Titus commemorates Titus’ victorious conquest of Judaea, leading the sacking of Jerusalem and ending the Jewish wars. The arch was constructed after Titus’s death in 81 c.e. after his becoming a god. Where is the Arch of Titus? The Arch of Titus is located on the highest point of the Via Sacra, a road leading to the Roman Forum. This is a single arch, 15.4m high, 13.5m wide, and 4.75m deep. The marble reliefs stand nearly 2.5m in height. On the Arch of Titus is a relief depicting the Romans’ triumphal procession, returning with spoils from the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Especially prominent is thesacred Menorah, but we can also see the Table of the Shewbread, and the silver trumpets which called Jews to Rosh Hashanah. about.com Compare again: Matthew 11:12, KJV— And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. The roman general, Titus, destroyed The House of Yahweh (called the Temple) and moved the artifacts to Rome, to the pharisees, sadducees, essenes, and herodians, who changed their name to catholic, meaning universal, because they worship all Gods, as Satan requested. Genesis 3:5— For He knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be as Gods (elohim), knowing Righteousness and evil. Back to Yahweh’s Prophet Yeremyah. Yeremyah 23:1-2, 10-11, 14-15— 1 Woe to the pastors; shepherds, who destroy and scatter the sheep of My Pasture! says Yahweh 2 Therefore, this is what Yahweh, the Father of Israyl, says against the pastors who feed My People: You have scattered My flock, and driven them away, and have not visited; attended to, them. Behold, you are going to be called to account for the evil of your doings, says Yahweh: 10 For the land is full of adulterers; those who turn from following Yahweh to follow the gods (elohim).Because of this curse the land mourns; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up. Their conduct is evil, whose might is not right— 11 For both prophet and priest are profane! Yes, even in My own House I have found their wickedness! says Yahweh. 14 I have also seen in the prophets of Yerusalem a horrible thing–they commit adultery and walk in lies;they turn from Yahweh and follow after the gods (elohim)! They also strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns back from his wickedness. All of them are like Sodom to Me, and her inhabitants are like Gomorrah. 15 Therefore, this is what Yahweh our Father says concerning these prophets; Behold, they will be fed with wormwood, and they will be made to drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Yerusalem profaneness has gone out into all the world. These are the prophets of the Gods, not the Prophets of Yahweh who wrote the Inspired Holy Scriptures. These were prophets of the Gods of Genesis 3:1-5 and I Samuyl 8. Violent men took The House of Yahweh by force. These men are described in I Samuyl as a religion of God worshippers who came out of Egypt. They were Hebrew people of the twelve tribes of Israyl, who never gave up the God worship they accepted and learned to practice from the coptic-catholics and their popes in Egypt. I Samuyl 8:4-8— 4 Then all the elders of Israyl gathered together and approached Samuyl when he was at Ramah, 5 Saying to him; You are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways. Appoint us a king to judge us; just like all the other nations. 6 But these things displeased Samuyl, especially when they said; Give us a king to judge us. Then Samuyl prayed to Yahweh. 7 Yahweh answered Samuyl, and said: Listen to all the words the people speak to you, for they have not rejected you; they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them. 8 Just as they have done to Me from the day I brought them out of Egypt, to this very day, they are now doing to you__they are forsaking Me in order to serve god(s); elohim! This religion of God worship was the same religion that Satan taught to Eve in the beginning, which caused Adam and Eve to be barred from the Tree of Life. Genesis 3:1-5— 1 Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any beast of the field which Yahweh had made. And she said to the woman; Has Yahweh indeed said: You shall not eat of every tree of the garden? 2 And the woman said to the serpent; We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, Yahweh has said: You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, or you will die. 4 And the serpent said to the woman; You will not surely die. 5 For He knows that in the day you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be as Gods (elohim), knowing Righteousness and evil. The Savior called these God worshippers violent men. Notice what Yahweh’s Prophet Yeremyah said in: Yeremyah 9:1-4— 1 Oh, that my head were waters, and my eyes a fountain of tears, so I might weep day and night for the slain of the daughter of my people! 2 Oh, that I had in the wilderness a lodging place for wayfaring men, so I might leave my people, and go from them; for they are all adulterers, an assembly of treacherous men! 3 And like their bow, they make ready their tongue to shoot lies—it is not by truth that they have become strong in the land; for they proceed from evil to evil, and they do not know Me, says Yahweh. 4 Let everyone beware of his neighbor, and do not trust just any brother; for every brother could be a deceiving supplanter, and every friend could be a slanderer! This is speaking of the inquisitions that spread to all nations as the popes tried to wipe out Yahweh worshippers. What were the inquistions? The Inquisitions were judicial institutions or tribunals that were established by the Roman Catholic Church in order to seek out, try, and sentence people that the Roman Catholic Church believed to be guilty of heresy. The purpose of the inquisitions was to secure and maintain religious and doctrinal unity in the Roman Catholic Church and throughout the Holy Roman Empire, through either the conversion or persecution of alleged heretics. Historians generally distinguish the Inquisitions based on four different time frames and areas that they took place in. These are the Medieval or Episcopal Inquisition, the Spanish Inquisition, the Portuguese Inquisition, and the Roman Inquisition. Prior to the founding of the Roman Catholic Church and the establishment of their version of Christianity as the official state religion of the Roman Empire in the 4th century, the punishment for heresy among Christians was usually excommunication from the church. However, with the marriage of church and state that arose in the 4th century, people that the Roman Catholic Church considered to be heretics also came to be considered as enemies of the state and were subject to many forms of extreme punishment, including death. It wasn’t until the 12th century that official Inquisitions were organized and sanctioned by the Roman Catholic Church to officially deal with what they saw as a rise in organized heretical groups within the Holy Roman Empire. The first of the Inquisitions is known as the Medieval or Episcopal Inquisition and refers to the various tribunals that started around 1184. It includes the Episcopal Inquisition (1184-1230) and the Papal Inquisition (1230), which arose in response to large popular movements in Europe that were considered to be heretical by the Roman Catholic Church. It was during this time (1231) that Pope Gregory IX shifted the power to punish heretics away from the local bishops and put the inquisitors under the special jurisdiction and authority of the papacy. He also established severe penalties for those found guilty of committing heresy, and his decree set forth new guidelines for investigating and punishing heresy in the Holy Roman Empire. Generally, when an Inquisition was set up to investigate heresy in a particular area of the Holy Roman Empire, the Pope would appoint two inquisitors, each of which had equal authority in the Inquisition or tribunal. Because these inquisitors had the power to investigate and excommunicate even princes, they wielded enormous power and influence in the Holy Roman Empire. While some of the inquisitors had reputations as being men of justice and mercy, others were known to subject people to cruel and unusual punishment, including many different kinds of torture, which is what the Inquisitions are generally remembered for. Because they could imprison suspects that they thought were lying, some inquisitors used torture as an attempt to get them to admit what the inquisitor wanted to hear. In 1252 Pope Innocent IV officially sanctioned torture as a way of extracting the “truth” from suspects. Prior to that time, this type of extreme punishment was foreign to church tradition and practice. During the Spanish Inquisition alone, as many as 2,000 people were burned at the stake within one decade after the Inquisition began. The next major Inquisition period is known as the Spanish Inquisition. It was set up by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain in 1478 with the approval of Pope Sixtus IV. Unlike the previous Inquisition, it was completely under royal authority and was staffed by secular clergy. Itmainly focused on Jews who had professed to be converts to Roman Catholicism but who were suspected of having continued to practice Judaism. Later on, with the spread of Protestantism into Spain, the Inquisition would also begin to persecute Protestants who broke away from the Roman Catholic Church. However, after the decline in religious disputes in the 17th century, the Spanish Inquisition essentially became more like a secret police that would investigate and retaliate against internal threats to the Spanish authorities. The Spanish Inquisition is probably the most infamous for its torture and the number of people executed as a result of it. One historian estimated that over the course of its history the Spanish Inquisition tried a total of 341,021 people, of whom at least 10 percent (31,912) were executed. gotquestions.org For more information about the crusades and inquisitions, get the 01/2009 Prophetic Word magazine and the book, The Lost Faith of the Apostles and Prophets. These were four religions, known in Yahshua’s time as the pharisees, sadducees, essenes, and herodians. They were violent men who took The House of Yahweh by force. Matthew 11:12, KJV— And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. With their army, they polluted the sanctuary and stopped the daily reading of Yahweh’s Laws. Daniyl 11:31— And the army will stand on his part, and they will pollute the sanctuary of strength, and will take away the daily, and they will place the Lord of heaven. Even with all of this evil, the Savior and His twelve Disciples continued to teach the Way to Salvation, exposing the sins of the pharisees, sadducees, essenes, and herodians. Yahchanan Mark 6:17-18— 17 Because Herod himself had sent and arrested Yahchanan, and put him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife, for he had married her. 18 For Yahchanan had said to Herod; It is not Lawful for you to have your brother’s wife. They were trying, at that time, to kill everyone who taught Yahweh’s Laws that were written by Yahweh’s Prophets. But Yahshua kept exposing their sins as the Two Witnesses do today. Matthew 19:17, KJV— And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. The Apostles taught the same doctrine that was taught by Yahweh to Adam and Eve in the beginning. II Yahchanan 1:4-6— 4 I greatly rejoiced that I found some of your children walking in truth, according to the Laws we have received from the Father. 5 But now I plead with you, lady, not as though I wrote any new Laws to you, but that which we had from the beginning: That we love one another— 6 And this is love: That we walk after His Laws. Those are the Laws, that, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in them. I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10— 4 Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Laws; for sin is the transgression of the Laws. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous. 8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil. 10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice Righteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his neighbor! II Yahchanan 1:6— And this is love: That we walk after His Laws. Those are the Laws, that, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in them. The last revelation given to Yahshua by Yahweh and copied by Yahchanan is the Book of Revelation. Notice: Revelation 1:1-3— 1 The Revelation of Yahshua Messiah, which Yahweh gave to Him, to show His Servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it through His Malak to His Servant Yahchanan: 2 Who has testified to the Word of Yahweh; the Laws and the Prophets, and to the testimony of Yahshua Messiah, and to all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he who reads, and those who hear the words of this Prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is at hand. Notice what you must do. Genesis 4:6-7— 6 So Yahweh said to Cain: Why are you angry? Why are you downcast? 7 If you do Righteousness, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do Righteousness, sin is crouching at your door. The desire to sin is with you, but you must overcome it! Notice, you must overcome sin. Revelation 21:7— He who overcomes will inherit all things; and I will be his Father, and he will be My Son. So the duty of mankind, as taught from the beginning is to overcome sin by practicing Yahweh’s Laws. II Yahchanan 1:6— And this is love: That we walk after His Laws. Those are the Laws, that, as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in them. Did you notice, this is the same Message of the Kingdom of Yahweh that was taught in the beginning? Read again: Genesis 4:6-7— 6 So Yahweh said to Cain: Why are you angry? Why are you downcast? 7 If you do Righteousness, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do Righteousness, sin is crouching at your door. The desire to sin is with you, but you must overcome it! If you do Righteousness, if you overcome the sin that lies at your door, you will be accepted. What does the Savior say? All coptics, catholics, and christians say the Savior said He did away with the Laws of Yahweh, so sin all you desire. To this, Yahshua said, they are liars, don’t even think it. Yahchanan 8:44-47— 44 You are of your teacher who is Satan the devil, and whatever she who is your teacher desires, you will do. She was a murderer from the beginning, and remained not in the Truth, because there is no Truth in her. Therefore, when you speak your falsehoods, you speak her words, because she is a liar, and the teacher of all lies! 45 Yet, because I tell you the truth, you do not believe Me. 46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? So if I speak the Truth, why do you not believe Me? 47 He who is of Yahweh, hears Yahweh’s Words; the Laws and the Prophets. Now you do not hear, because you are not of Yahweh. Mattithyah 7:21-24— 21 Not everyone who says to Me; Teacher! Teacher! will enter into the Kingdom of Yahweh, but only he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day; Teacher! Teacher! Have we not prophesied in Your Name, and cast out demons in Your Name, and in Your Name performed many wonderful works? 23 But then I will declare to them; I never knew you. Get away from Me, you who practice iniquity. 24 Therefore, everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Remember, and don’t forget, you must overcome sin by practicing Righteousness. Genesis 4:6-7— 6 So Yahweh said to Cain: Why are you angry? Why are you downcast? 7 If you do Righteousness, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do Righteousness, sin is crouching at your door. The desire to sin is with you, but you must overcome it! I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10— 4 Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Laws; for sin is the transgression of the Laws. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous. 8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil. 10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice Righteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his neighbor! Romans 6:16— Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves as servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey—whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to Righteousness? Now notice the last revelation, opened at this time for the Two Witnesses to teach this Message of the Kingdom. Yahshua is speaking. Revelation 2:7— He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the called out ones of The House of Yahweh. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the garden of Yahweh. Did you notice the word overcomes? Genesis 4:6-7— 6 So Yahweh said to Cain: Why are you angry? Why are you downcast? 7 If you do Righteousness, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do Righteousness, sin is crouching at your door. The desire to sin is with you, but you must overcome it! Revelation 2:11— He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the called out ones of The House of Yahweh. He who overcomes will not be hurt by the second death. Did you notice that only those who overcome sin by practicing Righteousness (I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10) will not be hurt by the second death. That is, they will be given right to the Tree of Life and will live forever. This means, those who do not practice Righteousness will be cast into the lake of fire. Read it! Revelation 20:10-15— 10 And the devil, who deceived them; seduced and led them astray, was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet had been cast, and will be tormented a day and a night because of the ages 11 And I saw a Great White Throne, and Him Who sat on it, from Whose Face the powers of the earth and the powers of the heavens, the Gods (elohim), were driven away; for the verdict was reached that there is no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before Yahweh. And the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is The Book of Life. And the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. 13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and sheol; the grave, delivered up the dead which were in them. And they were judged, every man, according to his works. 14 And death and sheol were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. 15 And whoever was not found written in The Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. If you choose not to overcome and instead choose to follow the priest/pope who eats swine’s flesh, you will most definitely be consumed, never to be resurrected again. Isayah 66:17— They who sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens, following after the priest in the midst of those who eat swine’s flesh, that which is offered to gods (elohim) and the rodent—will be consumed together: says Yahweh. Adultery creates curses that pass from mankind to the animals, plants, soil, water, and air For a full understanding of this subject, I recommend you get the 6/2007 issue of The Prophetic Wordmagazine about the real cause of global warming. Notice now: Yeremyah 23:1-2— 1 Woe to the pastors; shepherds, who destroy and scatter the sheep of My Pasture! says Yahweh. 2 Therefore, this is what Yahweh, the Father of Israyl, says against the pastors who feed My People: You have scattered My flock, and driven them away, and have not visited; attended to, them. Behold, you are going to be called to account for the evil of your doings, says Yahweh: They persecuted Yahweh’s Prophet Yeremyah and threatened to kill him for teaching about the Kingdom of Yahweh. Yeremyah 11:21— Therefore this is what Yahweh says concerning the men of Anathoth who seek your life, saying; Do notprophesy in the Name of Yahweh, or you will die by our hand! These same violent men took the Kingdom of Yahweh, set up by King Solomon, by force. Matthew 11:12, KJV— And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. These men, pharisees, sadducees, essenes, and herodians, did not practice Yahweh’s Laws. Yahshua and His twelve Disciples practiced and taught Yahweh’s Laws, and those violent men sought to kill them for doing so. Yahchanan 15:21-22— 21 But all these things they will do to you because of My Name—for they do not know Him Who sent Me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have had their sins revealed; but now they have no cloak, covering for, their sins. Yahchanan 7:19— Were not the Laws given to you through Mosheh? And yet none of you keep the Laws! Why do you seek to kill Me? Yahchanan 8:37-40— 37 I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; but you seek to kill Me, because My Word; My Teachings pertaining to the Laws and the Prophets, has no place in you. 38 I speak what I have seen proceeding from My Father, and you do what you have seen proceeding from your father. 39 They answered, and said to Him; Abraham is our father! Yahshua said to them: If you were Abraham’s children, you would be doing the works of Abraham. 40 But now you seek to kill Me, a Man Who has told you the truth which I have heard from Yahweh. Abraham did not do this. Mattithyah 23:37— O Yerusalem! Yerusalem! You who murder the Prophets and stone those who are sent to you! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings__but you were not willing! Luke 13:34— O Yerusalem! Yerusalem, the city that murders the Prophets, and stones those who are sent to you! How often I would have gathered your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! Acts 7:52— Which of the Prophets have not your fathers persecuted? And they have slain those who foretold the coming of the Just One; of Whom you now have become the betrayers and murderers. These pharisees, sadducees, essenes, and herodians, who are now called catholics and sit on the seven hills of Rome, brought profanity throughout the whole earth. Notice: Yeremyah 23:1-2, 14-15— 1 Woe to the pastors; shepherds, who destroy and scatter the sheep of My Pasture! says Yahweh. 2 Therefore, this is what Yahweh, the Father of Israyl, says against the pastors who feed My People: You have scattered My Flock, and driven them away, and have not visited; attended to, them. Behold, you are going to be called to account for the evil of your doings, says Yahweh: 14 I have also seen in the prophets of Yerusalem a horrible thing__they commit adultery and walk in lies;they turn from Yahweh and follow after the gods (elohim)! They also strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns back from his wickedness. All of them are like Sodom to Me, and her inhabitants are like Gomorrah. 15 Therefore, this is what Yahweh our Father says concerning these prophets; Behold, they will be fed with wormwood, and they will be made to drink the water of gall; for from the prophets of Yerusalemprofaneness has gone out into all the world. Not only did they practice sodomy, but also adultery. Adultery is Hebrew word 5003 in Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance and means women that break wedlock; married women who commit sexual acts with a man other than her husband. Yahweh’s Prophet, Yeremyah, said adultery curses the land. Yahweh’s Prophet, Isayah, said that because they changed Yahweh’s Laws, the earth mourns and fades away. Yahshua Messiah said “Mosheh gave you the Laws, but none of you keep Yahweh’s Laws”. Yeremyah 23:10— For the land is full of adulterers; those who turn from following Yahweh to follow the gods (elohim). Because of this curse the land mourns; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up. Their conduct is evil, whose might is not right Did you see that? “The land is full of adulterers and because of this, the land mourns.” Now read: Isayah 24:1-6— 1 Before Yahweh’s very Eyes, the earth is made empty and it is made waste; the face of it is perverted and its inhabitants scattered abroad; 2 And it will be: as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his owner; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with him who takes usury, so with him who gives usury to him: 3 The land will be utterly emptied and utterly plundered, for it has come to pass that this Judgment has been pronounced. 4 The earth mourns and fades away, the world mourns and fades away, and the haughty people of the earth languish. 5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants of it, because they have transgressed the Laws, changed the Ordinance, and broken the Everlasting Covenant. 6 Because of this, the curse has devoured the earth, and they who dwell therein are desolate; therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. Pay close attention to verse 4, the earth mourns and fades away and verse 5, because you are transgressing the Laws. Yes, because you are transgressing the Laws, the earth is defiled. You are defiling the earth by your sexual sins. Adultery creates STDs in your body that come out and defile the earth. Isayah 24:6— Because of this, the curse has devoured the earth, and they who dwell therein are desolate; therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left. Because the world is following the catholic priest who follow the coptic-catholic popes of Egypt, the curses are devouring the earth. All of them eat pork and teach that eating unclean animals of the earth (Leviticus 11) is acceptable. They are the priests who changed the Laws of Yahweh, taught they were done away with, and fought against all forms of Righteousness. They follow Satan (Genesis 3:1-5) and make themselves in the filthy image and likeness of the Gods. These false teachers are leading you to believe they follow the bible, but they do not. Like their teacher, Satan, they do lie. The world needs to repent of following the priest who eats swine’s flesh (Isayah 65:1-6, Isayah 66:17). The world needs to start reading their bible, repent of sin now, and start teaching your children to follow Yahweh instead of Satan. I Yahchanan 3:4, 7-8, 10— 4 Whoever commits sin, transgresses also the Laws; for sin is the transgression of the Laws. 7 Little children, let no man deceive you; he who practices Righteousness is Righteous, just as He is Righteous. 8 He who commits sin is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of Yahweh was manifested; that He might destroy the works of the devil. 10 In this the Children of Yahweh and the children of the devil are manifest. Whoever does not practice Righteousness is not of Yahweh, and he does not love his neighbor! It is Scriptural illiteracy that is allowing the prophesied curses to enter your body, wildlife, the soil, water and air. Pope Francis of the seven hills of Rome, repent of sin and let My People go that they may keep a Feast unto Me. Pope Francis, tell the world that you and your fathers have caused the world to inherit nothing but lies, as Yahweh’s Prophets foretold. Yeremyah 16:19— O Yahweh, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles will come to You from the ends of the earth, and will say: Surely our fathers have inherited nothing but lies and vanity;worthless, powerless gods (elohim), of no use at all! Yeremyah 23:14— I have also seen in the prophets of Yerusalem a horrible thing__they commit adultery and walk in lies; they turn from Yahweh and follow after the gods (elohim)! They also strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns back from his wickedness. All of them are like Sodom to Me, and her inhabitants are like Gomorrah. Yeremyah 23:25— I have heard what the prophets say, who prophesy lies in My Name, saying; I have dreamed! I have dreamed! Release the people from your deception and let them come and learn how to stop all curses, and they will learn war no more. Micahyah 4:1-3— 1 But in the Last Days it will come to pass that the mountain; promotion, of The House of Yahweh will be established in the chief of the nations. It will be raised above all congregations; and all peoples willeventually flow to it. 2 And many people will go and say; Come, and let us go up to the mountain; uplifting, of Yahweh, and to the House of the Father of Yaaqob, and He will teach us of His Ways, and we will walk in His Paths. Because the Laws will depart from Zion, and the Word of Yahweh from Yerusalem. 3 And He will judge between many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation,nor will they learn war anymore. Revelation 22:1-3— 1 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the Throne of Yahweh and of the Lamb. 2 In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the Tree of Life, which bears twelve fruits,and yields her fruit every moon; month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there will be no more curse; but the Throne of Yahweh and of the Lamb will be in it; and His Servants will serve Him. Release My People from your deception now; it will be done in this generation with or without you. You need to repent now. Yeremyah 23:5-8— 5 Behold, the days come, says Yahweh: that I will raise up a Beloved, Righteous Branch, and the Messenger whom I have sent to be My Messenger thus shall succeed, and will execute Judgment and Justice in the earth. 6 In His days, those who reverence Yahweh will be saved, and the Called Out Ones will dwell safely; andthis is the Name that He will proclaim to them at Abel–Yahweh Tsidqenu: Yahweh our Righteousness. 7 Therefore behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that they will no longer say; As surely as Yahweh lives Who brought up the children of Israyl out of the land of Egypt; 8 But they will say; As surely as Yahweh lives Who brought up and led the seed of the house of Israyl into the Protected Place at Abel, and from all countries where they had been driven; and they will dwell in their own land. Pope Francis, repent and let My People go! May Yahweh bless your understanding. Yisrayl Hawkins Yahweh’s Branch.com |
