Nazarene Israel Quotes

“The Catholic Church asserts that Yeshua intended to build His assembly upon an individual named Shimon Kefa personally: Therefore, whomever Shimon Kefa (Simon Peter) would designate as his successor would become the head of the Body of Messiah, as if the Messiah ruled through him. One problem with this assertion is that Petros and petra are not the same word.  Yeshua does not say He will build His Assembly upon Petros (Kefa).  Rather, what He said was that He would build His assembly upon the divine revelation that He was the Messiah, the Son of the Living Elohim.”

“will be explained in the chapters that follow, a number of prophecies specify that this final phase of the Regathering process began in-or-about 1996 CE.  Since prophecy tells us that this final phase has already started, we should be able to look at the world and find a group of believers in the Messiah (both Protestant and otherwise) who are attempting to re-establish their identity as the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel.  There are in fact several such groups, and their numbers are rapidly growing. Since the promises of the Two House Theory are being borne out right before our eyes, it is clearly a true theory; and therefore we should endeavor to understand it as completely as possible.  However, in order to do that, we must first understand the origins of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.”

“Yeshua’s Words are plain enough: Do not call any man on earth your Father.  However, the term Pope literally translates to ‘Papa’ (or Father). Further, the Pope’s crown (or mitre) is inscribed with the title ‘Vicarius Philii Dei.’  This title literally means, ‘In-Place of the Son of the Deity’, or ‘Instead-of the Son of the Deity.’  The Pope’s title, then, is the exact definition of the term anti-Messiah. Additionally, certain languages assign numerical values to each of their letters.  Greek is this way.  When one adds up the Greek numerical value of the Latin title that is inscribed on the Pope’s crown, Vicarius Philii Dei, one gets the numerical value of six hundred and sixty six:”

“It should be noted that contrary to popular belief, in Greek, the term ‘anti’ does not mean ‘against.’  Rather, it means ‘instead of’, or ‘in the place of.’ Therefore, an anti-Messiah is not someone who tries to destroy the Messiah, but someone who pretends to be the Messiah, or His literal representative.  How interesting, then, that the Pope claims the title ‘Vicar of Christ’, by which he claims to be the vicarious representative of the Messiah, on earth.”

“In the First Century, the Lawless One had yet to be revealed, and Shaul wrote about a future revelation.  Because of this, the majority of the Christian world still looks for a coming anti-Messiah, not realizing that he has been in power for some 1700 years already. The Pope not only sits in a kind of a Temple, showing himself as Elohim, but he also fulfills the prophecy of Daniel 7:25.  Daniel 7:25 speaks of a ‘Little Horn’ who would attempt to change the appointed Festival times, and the Law.  He would also seek to exterminate the Nazarenes, thereby ‘wearing them out’ for 3-1/2 prophetic years:”

“John 3:4 tells us that sin is the transgression of the Law.  Therefore, if sin is the transgression of the Law, the Man of Sin in verse 3 might well be called the Man of Lawlessness: And who has done more to teach against the Law, than the Pope?   7 For the mystery of Lawlessness is already at work; only he is holding back now, until it comes out of the midst; 8 and then the Lawless One will be revealed, whom YHWH will consume by the spirit of His mouth….”

“About the same time he established himself as the undisputed ruler of the Roman Empire, Constantine convened the Council of Nicaea.  This council blended Christianity and Mithraism, establishing the new Catholic (‘Universal’) Christian faith.  This new faith took the same core of familiar Mithraic festivals, but re-named them according to Christian themes.  This was done to such an extent that the accusation has been made that Catholicism (‘Universalism’) is really more Mithraism-in-disguise, than anything else.”

“Before mankind was able to accept the true Good News, mankind was only able to accept the Christian variation.  Fallen Adam was so far fallen that he was not ready to accept the whole truth.  And while Christianity is not the end-goal of the belief in Yeshua, let us give Christianity its due.  While the Christians did persecute the Jews, and while they exterminated the Nazarenes, they also brought great advancements to the world.  Even their religion of intellectual-only love wrought a dramatic civilizing effect upon all of man’s prior corruptions.”

“Since most Christians never learn Hebrew, most of them never learn that the name LORD means Ba’al.  They are also typically ignorant of the fact that the name Asherah means Easter.  However, most of those that do learn the difference usually still ‘hop between two opinions’, calling Him both YHWH and LORD, in an attempt to simultaneously please Him, and man:”

“Some Christians are shocked to learn that when they call on the name of “The LORD,” they are actually calling upon the name of the pagan deity, Ba’al.  Christians find this fact very confusing, because they have received so many blessings by calling upon the name of “The LORD” in the past.  However, without condemnation or judgment, once we have learned that the name “LORD” translates to Ba’al (both in ancient and modern Hebrew), then why not use YHWH’s true Name? (If names are not important, and if it is OK to call YHWH by the names of other deities (such as Ba’al), then why not simply call Him “Satan”?)”

“Since YHWH repeatedly tells us how much He wants people to know His true Name, it is surprising how few people know that His Name is not “LORD.”  In fact, the name “LORD” actually translates as “Ba’al.”

“Most Christians are unaware of the fact that the Creator’s true Name (Yahuweh or YHWH) has been hidden (or substituted) almost 7,000 times in Scripture.  This is strictly against the Third Commandment, which tells us:   7 "You shall not take the Name of YHWH your Elohim in vain, for YHWH will not hold him guiltless, who takes His Name in vain.            [Exodus 20:7]   Although the classic English translation is not to take His Name in vain, in the Hebrew, the word ‘vain’ is actually Strong’s H#7723, “l’shavah.”  This word does not translate into English directly, but the real meaning of this passage is actually somewhat more akin to:”

“In Scripture, names are always prophetic.  In addition, if we think about it, we ought to be able to see how, in a Word-created world, the sounds of words would have specific meanings.  And indeed, as will be shown in Nazarene Scripture Commentary, the sounds of words contain important spiritual information which modern physicists and string-theorists are only just beginning to understand.  (What they have learned is that specific resonances carry spiritual information, much like DNA carries genetic information.) However, for our purposes here, let us consider that if names are always prophetic, and if the world was created through sound (or energetic resonance), and if the sounds of words have spiritual significance, then how important would the Name of our Creator be?”

“11 Then the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and appoint for themselves one head; and they shall come up out of the Land, for great will be the day of Jezre’el!”

“At Matthew 22:37, Yeshua quotes two verses from the Torah (Deuteronomy 6:5 and Leviticus 19:18), to show us that the Torah ‘hangs on’ love:   37 "'You shall love YHWH your Elohim with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment.  39 And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’    (Leviticus 19:18) 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.” [Mattityahu (Matthew) 22:37-40]”

“Christianity interprets this verse to mean that in order to receive eternal life, all one must do is to believe on Yeshua; and, perhaps, to call upon His Name.  This may seem right, but only twenty verses later we are told that unless we obey the Torah, such thought-belief is not enough:   36 “He who believes in the Son has eternal life; but he who does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of Elohim abides on him.”   [Yochanan (John) 3:36]”

“Epiphanius and M. Simon admit that the Apostles kept the Law; and yet Christianity generally refuses to acknowledge this fact.  It is even recorded that the Church originally excluded Yochanan’s (John’s) letters from the Canon, because His Pro-Torah writings conflicted with the Roman Church doctrines. In modern times, many Christians still hold to this anti-Law stance, citing John 3:16 in their defense:   16 For Elohim so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son; that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  [Yochanan (John)”
