For Seekers and Disciples
of Yahshuah ha Mashiach.

The Letters are a series of teaching and prophetic messages that have developed into a no-nonsense tool for Discipleship training and evangelistic outreach.  Topics such as: Scriptural Truth, Spiritual Warfare, Discipline, the Ruach ha Qodesh, The Gifts of the Ruach, Prayer, The Full (and true) Names of Elohim, Reconciliation, Works of Faith, Living as Disciples, Prophecy and a great deal more, are taught in love and humility, yet with authority and conviction. Additionally, the fullness of Biblical absolutes are repeatedly shown and proven, which openly challenge the liberal theology currently promoted within the halls of Babylon throughout the world today. Furthermore, these writings are deeply prophetic in nature, dealing with subjects like the tribulation and the snatching (rapture), and The Matter of The Sabbath, which are relevant to today's world, and tomorrow's events.  All combined, therefore, the far reaching nature of these writings make The Letters a truly unique presentation of Elohim's Word for today's disciple of Yahshuah ha Mashiach.

IMPORTANT NOTICE!

As I have progressed in my studies, I have learned that the Names, Titles, Terms and Phrases used to discuss: God; The Lord, The Creator and Lawgiver, The Son and Messiah and The Holy Spirit, throughout Scripture, are transliterated and/or incorrectly translated or adapted. And, that these erroneous words or phrases do not accurately represent the fullness and wonder of the originally inspired Word.  For an in depth explanation and teaching on the Names used throughout The Letters, therefore, and for an in depth explanation of how these transliterations and/or incorrect adaptations occurred, please read Letter #22.

Due to the significance of this issue, however, and due to the fact that I fervently strive to teach the truth and fullness of Elohim's Word throughout The Letters, as far as Yahshuah has revealed His truth to me, I am not going to use the erroneous names or titles any longer.  Furthermore, there will be no (BRACKETED) insertions of the erroneous names and titles following this note.  For your convenience though, the following brief outline is being presented, and can be referenced at any time:

ELOHIM is the correct NAME for the word "God".  In approximately 2345 occurrences throughout the Old Testament, the word "God" has been inserted over the Name, EL (singular) or ELOHIM (plural).  This error then carried forth into the New Testament as well.
YAHUAH is the proper Name of the Creator/Lawgiver of the Old Testament.  In 6,399 instances throughout the Old Testament, the phrase, "The Lord" has been inserted and used INSTEAD of His Proper Name.  In addition to this, another 315 uses of the word "God" has replaced YAHUAH, and in still another 111 instances, the word "Lord's" has replaced YAHUAH.  NOT ANY MORE!
YAHSHUAH is the full name of the Son of Elohim.  YAHSHUAH is HE who hung on the cross for our sins, and it is in the name of YAHSHUAH that we are born-again, and in Whose name we are to be Baptized.  The name Jesus / Iesous, is a very erroneous transliteration of His true name: YAHSHUAH.
MASHIACH, interpreted as MESSIAH, this the accurate Title and Role fulfilled by Yahshuah.  In over 500 instances in the New Testament, the word Christos / Christ has been the transliterated word of choice over MASHIACH / MESSIAH.  The Word, Christ, is derived from Leviticus 4:5, 16 - MASHIACH - which means ANOINTED! We shall be using the original word, Mashiach or its correct translation, Messiah, from hereon.
RUACH ha QODESH is the full Name of the Holy (QODESH) Spirit (RUACH), and is the only Name given to Him throughout the Old Testament. We will be using His full name from this point on!

Prayerfully, you will receive these changes in the light in which they are intended: which is solely to glorify our most gracious and loving ELOHIM in heaven - and for the salvation of our souls through Yahshuah our Messiah...  Read Letter #22, beloved - and study on your own to discover the fullness of these truth's...

The introduction to The Letters continues here:

The Letters are written in an extremely personal format. This is mostly attributable to the fact that many of these writings originated as literal letters to beloved friends or seekers of the truth. Yet, even though the private information has been removed from these missives, the primary objective of helping the lost in their search for the truth, and of training the disciples once the truth has been found, has not been lost. Due to the progressive nature of these writings, therefore, you will discover a natural transformation developing in the format and content of The Letters. This transformation presents itself naturally as The Letters proceed from the Seeker level to the Disciple level.  And, as you will quickly see, this progression of thought causes The Letters to be presented in two tiers:

The first ten letters are addressed to ZETEO (Greek for Seeker), and are foundational in their content. These letters are useful in assisting those who do not know Elohim, but who are seeking to know about Him and about His Word. While every search for the truth of Scripture is laden with questions, The Letters attempt to answer those questions, while also offering a tremendous amount of food for additional thought. Additionally, and prayerfully, The Letters attempt to offer a nonjudgmental approach toward the personal search for knowledge of Yahshuah ha Mashiach.

The second series of letters are addressed to Mathetes (Greek for Disciple), and represent a natural progression of communications between the teacher and those who have found Yahshuah ha Mashiach as their personal Messiah and Master. While discipleship training is the primary thrust of the letters to Mathetes, and it is understandable that those who know Yahshuah personally would want to begin their study at this point, it is hoped that The Letters would be read in sequence. The intimacy that is developed throughout these writings, and more importantly, the foundation that is laid within the Zeteo letters, are crucial to understanding the latter letters, as well as understanding the methods, motivation and mannerisms of the teacher.

In neglecting to teach the Word of Elohim with power and authority, and in neglecting to empower the body of Messiah as priests unto Elohim, the church has systematically abandoned the Apostolic teachings, and chosen instead to produce converts who passively support clergy based ministries. Whereas Elohim seeks dynamic disciples who live for His glory, history clearly shows that countless generations of would-be disciples of Yahshuah have become lifeless listeners, who appear content in their role as Sunday morning spectators. As we approach the end time, however, Elohim's call is causing many souls to grow increasingly uneasy with their assigned role, and is driving them to search for truthful answers and powerful applications. The Letters are a product of one disciple's attempt to help those who are seeking to know the truth about Elohim, and about the fullness of fellowship with Him through His Son, Yahshuah ha Mashiach, to not only find His truth, but to apply that truth in their daily walk with Him.

My primary motivation for writing these letters and submitting them in this format, therefore, is because Yahshuah has laid a burden on my heart for His truth and for His EKKLESIA. Too many false doctrines have permeated our society and the EKKLESIA, turning too many hearts away from Yahshuah. The Letters then, are an appeal to the body of Messiah to trim their lamp, if you will, and prepare for the eminent return of our King.

The discipleship process is an unknown commodity today, because the Nicolaitans (those who would suppress a believer from walking in the fullness of the power and authority of Elohim) have told us that most of the gifts are dead, have allowed the undisciplined use of those gifts which they permit within their assemblies, have taught that repentance from sin is no longer necessary, or have turned away those disciples who would dare to challenge their false authority and incorrect teachings. In His rebuke of the Nicolaitans though (Revelation 2:6,15) Yahshuah spoke directly to the end time Ekklesia, and in this chastisement, we find the hope that we can overcome our complacency, repent from our apostasy and become the true harvest reapers that we were meant to be, because we are that end time Ekklesia.

The Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20) has been ignored for far too long, but Elohim's Prophetic Word dictates that the faithful development of disciples must ultimately overtake the conceited approach of expansion via converts. Presently, soldiers in Yahshuah's army are undisciplined and untrained, leaving the world ripe for the deceptions of the Antichrist. The Letters are designed to raise the banner of discipleship unto Yahshuah once again, so that Elohim's soldiers may be fully trained and armed for the approaching battle.

A topical concordance has been developed especially for these teachings. This concordance is provided to offer Scriptural support for every conclusion, thought and nuance revealed within these writings, and upholds Elohim's law of validation. Additionally, I had two other reasons for developing this concordance: First, I believe in the absolute, objective truth of the Word of Elohim. Therefore, I am led to encourage every disciple to study His Word. Second, I believe Yahshuah was serious when He uttered the Great Commission. I developed the concordance, therefore, to help the reader's gain an in-depth insight on numerous topics - quickly - thereby enabling them to use that insight in the training of new disciples. Every true Seeker and Disciple is strenuously encouraged to study the concordance materials, as well as any other tool available to them, in order to faithfully search out the truth of every matter discussed.

It is no longer an acceptable practice, in light of the times in which we live, to remain involved in ministries that do not faithfully and Scripturally feed our souls - either in teaching or in the practice of a disciple's true walk. It is no longer acceptable to support or uplift any ministry, either financially or in the use of our spiritual gifts, that is more concerned with building empires than with feeding and clothing the poor, downtrodden, orphaned or widowed - or with tending to Elohim's End Time Harvest - or with assisting those faithful disciples who are doing these things. It is wholly unacceptable in Elohim's sight to support in any fashion, an establishment more concerned with programs than people, personal gain over forwarding the Gospel of Messiah, walking denominational lines instead of promoting the Word and Ruach of Elohim, being politically correct instead of being Scripturally accurate (regardless of the social consequences) or being lukewarm - neither hot nor cold - instead of being on fire for Yahshuah and for His people. These are matters that Scripture screams for us to hear, but these are not matters that tickle our ears. The Letters, while personal, are never meant as ear tickling devices.

Throughout the institutions, we can find littered bodies of babies in Messiah, who with much bravado and fanfare have been led to the throne of Elohim in Yahshuah, and have then been allowed to starve as they squirm for a drop of spiritual milk or a morsel of spiritual food.

Throughout the institutions, we find faithful children of Elohim crying out for the meat of His Word, and for fulfillment in their spiritual walk, only to be frustrated by the false teachers and preachers who would have them believe that their knowledge is inadequate, their gifts either dead or undisciplined and their fulfillment already achieved.

Throughout many institutions, we can find warriors of the Way, who have discerned a false teaching, and confronted the prophets of Babylon, only to be battered for questioning the long-standing theological beliefs of a particular congregation or denomination. And once belittled, they have been told to mature, and learn to compromise over the lesser issues.

Throughout the institutions, we can find seats that were once occupied by faithful, reverent believers, who, not denying the fellowship, are weary of continued abuse at the hands of the Nicolaitans, and are fatigued by the unscriptural and unholy practices being presented today in the name of Jesus Christ. Brethren who have discerned the presence of Satan at the pulpit, and who now wander the wilderness in search for unity with the EKKLESIA. In an ever-increasing throwaway society, these faithful believers are being replaced so rapidly by "new flesh", attracted by high profile ear tickling programs, that their absence seemingly goes unnoticed. YAHSHUAH NOTICES!

Elsewhere, brothers and sisters around the world are suffering tremendously at the hands of the false shepherds, false prophets and oppressive governments, but the message is the same: Pastors who desire our energy and money, but who care little about our walk with Yahshuah, or the fulfillment of our life purpose, have overtaken the realm of religion - under the guise of being ministers of "God". Although piling up mounds of converts, these false leaders have no intent of making disciples for Messiah. The intent of The Letters, therefore, is to help feed the flock, eliminate the pain and suffering, and aid in the cessation of deception.

I believe that the EKKLESIA, the true Church, desires to hear what Elohim has revealed, and is truly awakening to His desires. The questions answered in The Letters, and the issues discussed, therefore, are in direct response to our struggle to comprehend the noticeable differences between what we see in the world and hear in the religious (Babylonian) institutions, and what we think we are hearing Elohim say throughout the Scriptures. The truth, be it known, will show that the differences are substantial!

Up until late 2002, the NASB Bible translation was used exclusively throughout The Letters. I was extremely comfortable with this version, especially in comparison to other translations. As I labored over Letter #22, however, I realized that no translation available today is without tremendous error.  As time passed, letters 23 and 24 were written, and at some point during the study process for letter #24, the Ruach convicted and convinced me that something had to be done to correct the overwhelming errors that exist in our currently available translations - especially with regard to The Names...  And thus the Divine Name Scriptures® were born.

"All Scripture quoted in Letter #24, The Matter of the Sabbath...  Our Father's Gift!, is taken from The Divine Name Scriptures®, ©Copyright End Time Christianity, Inc. 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and is used by permission."

We believe that no truer translation of Holy Scripture will exist when this project is complete, and we wholeheartedly pray that as you compare this translation to the whole of Elohim's Word - using whatever concordances or word dictionaries that are available - that you will agree.  But, this is a work in process!  

Eventually, we will present an entire new translation of Scripture to the Ekklesia.  And ultimately, every passage quoted throughout The Letters will reflect that translation.

Even still, it is vital that every seeker and disciple realize that we must utilize every concordance and Scriptural study tool available to us today, in order to get to the true MEAT of His Word.  Anything less simply will not do any longer.  Prayerfully, the Letters will be amongst those tools that you use.

And please do not be offended by the very hard-line approach that I take toward the religious institutions. My burden is solely for the EKKLESIA, and I seek only for the EKKLESIA to be everything that Yahshuah deserves and desires us to be. If you are walking faithfully with Elohim, my remarks should not upset you at all. If, however, my approach tweaks at your righteousness, and causes you to reevaluate your walk, then I have accomplished one of my goals. While my desire, and my sincere hope, is that The Letters will assist every individual in their walk with Elohim, so that we may all hear, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant" (Matthew 25:21), too much work remains before us to allow the sowers of weeds to interfere with the harvest. I will not permit political nor religious correctness to subordinate Scripture.

There is no claim of inerrancy to accompany these writings. Nor is there a claim of divine appointment or inspiration. The Word of Elohim is the backbone of The Letters though, and I believe that the greatest asset of this work is the topical concordance that follows every letter. (Within each letter, the symbol [tc] follows every item that is supported by the concordance, and links that item to the concordance references at the bottom of the page).  Additionally, a complete version of the Topical Concordance is offered as a separate item on this site. Links have been established from the Concordance, back into the portion of The Letters that contain the primary discussion for any given topic. This should make your search for individual topics of interest quite easy.

Admittedly, this is unlike any other web site you have visited. The Letters are not brief. And, the lessons actually require work on your part. It might be easier to make a hard copy of a letter, in order to study the material, but then the links between the pages would be lost. While authorization is given to make copies of The Letters for study purposes, the sale or alteration of any portion of this work is prohibited.

Finally, this work is not complete. There are more letters to be written and submitted to this site, and there is much more work to be done on a personal level. Your questions and thoughts are coveted, because the goal of assisting all seekers and disciples will not stop until Yahshuah returns for us.  My email link is provided at the top left of every letter, therefore, to encourage and assist in the ease of communications.  If you are being spiritually fed by this work, I encourage you to drop me a note. You may just be an encouragement to me...

Thank you for visiting this web site - I sincerely pray that Yahshuah blesses your time here.

I remain faithfully and humbly your servant in Yahshuah our Messiah,
