1 Timothy 3:16 “It is quite true that the way to live a godly life is not an easy matter.

He is the Creator, Savior and Redeemer.
Psalms 33:6-9 “He merely spoke, and the heavens were formed, and all the galaxies of stars. He made the oceans, pouring them into vast reservoirs. Let everyone in all the world – men, women and children – fear the Lord and stand in awe of him. For when he but spoke, the world began! It appeared at his command.”
Psalms 33:12 “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, whose people he has chosen as his own.”
Psalms 33:18-23 “But the eyes of the Lord are watching over those who fear him, who rely upon his steady love. He will keep them from death even in times of famine! We depend upon the Lord alone to save us. Only he can help us; He protects us like a shield. No wonder we are happy in the Lord! For we are trusting him. We trust his holy name. Yes, Lord, let your constant love surround us, for our hopes are in you alone.”
Behold the Hand, Behold the Nail, YHWH is the name of our Creator, Maker and Redeemer of this world, not only Savior but our GOD. [ELOHIM]
When God appeared to Moses in a burning bush…
There can be only One Creator, One Redeemer, One Savior.
YAHWAH is ADONAI
Matthew 21:15-16 “But when the chief priests and other Jewish leaders saw these wonderful miracles, and heard even the little children in the Temple shouting, "God bless the Son of David", they were disturbed and indignant and asked him, "Do you hear what these children are saying?", “Yes,” Jesus replied “Didn’t you ever read the scriptures? For they say, ‘Even little babies shall praise him!”.
The sound of a baby crying – “WAH”
We have been pronouncing God’s name, wrong all these years. It isn’t pronounced ‘YAHWAY’ but ‘YAHWAH’
Please note the two root words in Hebrew,
HA YAH
HA WAH
Thus, the memorial name “YAHWAH” forever.
If you listen carefully to the sounds a baby makes, you will hear the name of our God in every sound... "WAH"
Luke 11:52 “Woe to you experts in religion! For you hide the truth from the people. You won’t accept it for yourselves, and you prevent others from having a chance to believe it.”
They took away the key “the key of knowledge” of the Lord’s true name. Our Creator’s name has two syllables as described above from the root words.
An excerpt from the Bible on the above… The Pharisees commanded Peter not to preach and the Talmudists religious people forbade the disciples from preaching the Gospel of Christ. Acts 4:16-18 “’What shall we do with these men?’ They asked each other. ‘We can’t deny that they have done a tremendous miracle, and everybody in Jerusalem, knows about it. But perhaps we can stop them from spreading their propaganda. We’ll tell them that if they do it again, we’ll really throw the book at them.’ So they called them back in, and told them never again to speak about Jesus. But Peter and John replied, ‘You decide whether God wants us to obey you instead of him! We cannot stop telling about the wonderful things we saw Jesus do and heard him say.’”
And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and grant to your servants, great boldness in their preaching, and send your healing power, and may miracles and wonders be done by the name of your holy servant Jesus.”
His name is the name of the Creator.
Matthew 7:7-11 “Ask, and you will be given what you ask for. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened. For everyone who asks, receives. Anyone who seeks, finds. If only you will knock, the door will open. If a child asks his father for a loaf of bread, will he be given a stone instead? If he asks for fish, will he be given a poisonous snake? Of course not! And if you hardhearted, sinful men know how to give good gifts to your children, won’t your Father in heaven even more certainly give good gifts to those who ask him for them?”
The fight between the Laws of YHWH and the foolish traditions of man – We shall be saved only by HIS NAME.
Romans 10:13 “Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Acts 2:21 “But anyone who asks for mercy from the Lord shall have it and shall be saved.”
Hebrews 7:26-27
He is, therefore, exactly the kind of High Priest we need; for he is holy and blameless, unstained by sin, undefiled by sinners, and to him has been given the place of honor in heaven. He never needs the daily blood of animal sacrifices, as other priests did, to cover over first their own sins and then the sins of their people; for he finished all sacrifices, once and for all, when he sacrificed himself on the cross.

Exodus 3:13-15 “But Moses asked, “If I go to the people of Israel and tell them that their father’s God has sent me, they will ask, ‘Which God are you talking about?’ What shall I tell them?” “’The Sovereign God,’” was the reply. “Just say, ‘I Am has sent me”, Yes, tell them, ‘Jehovah, the God of your ancestors Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has sent me to you.’ (This is my eternal name, to be used throughout all generations.”

The Miracles of Jesus Christ!
Hebrews 6:13-15
"For instance, there was God's promise to Abraham: God took an oath in his own name, since there was no one greater to swear by, that he would bless Abraham again and again, and give him a son and make him the father of a great nation of people. Then Abraham waited patiently until finally God gave him a son, Isaac, just as he had promised."
Hebrews 11:1-29
WHAT IS FAITH? It is the confident assurance that something we want is going to happen. It is the certainty that what we hope for is waiting for us, even though we cannot see it up ahead. Men of God in days of old were famous for their faith. By faith - by believing God - we know that the world and the stars - in fact, all things - were made at God's command; and that they were all made from things that can't be seen. It was by faith that Abel obeyed God and brought an offering that pleased God more than Cain's offering did. God accepted Abel and proved it by accepting his gift; and though Abel is long dead, we can still learn lessons from him about trusting God.
Enoch trusted God too, and that is why God took him away to heaven without dying; suddenly he was gone because God took him. Before this happened God had said how pleased he was with Enoch. You can never please God without faith, without depending on him. Anyone who wants to come to God must believe that there is a God and that he rewards those who sincerely look for him.
Noah was another who trusted God. When he heard God's warning about the future, Noah believed him even though there was then no sign of a flood, and wasting no time he built the ark and saved his family. Noah's belief in God was in direct contrast to the sin and disbelief of the trust of the world - which refused to obey - and because of his faith he became one of those whom God has accepted.
Abraham trusted God, and when God told him to leave home and go far away to another land which he promised to give him, Abraham obeyed. Away he went, not even knowing where he was going. And even when he reached God's promised land, he lived in tents like a mere visitor, as did Isaac and Jacob, to whom God gave the same promise. Abraham did this because he was confidently waiting for God to bring him to that strong heavenly city whose designer and builder is God.
Sarah, too, had faith, and because of this she was able to become a mother in spite of her old age, for she realized that God, who gave her his promise, would certainly do what he said. And so a whole nation came from Abraham, who was too old to have even one child - a nation with so many millions of people that, like the stars of the sky and the sand on the ocean shores, there is no way to count them. These men of faith I have mentioned died without ever receiving all that God had promised them; but they saw it all awaiting them on ahead and were glad, for they agreed that this earth was not their real home but that they were just strangers visiting down here. And quite obviously when they talk like that, they were looking forward to their real home in heaven.
If they had wanted to, they could have gone back to the good things of this world. But they didn't want to. They were living for heaven and now God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has made a heavenly city for them.
While God was testing him, Abraham still trusted in God and his promises, and so he offered up his son Isaac, and was ready to slay him on the altar of sacrifice; yes, to slay even Isaac, through whom God had promised to give Abraham a whole nation of descendants! He believed that if Isaac died God would bring him back to life again; and that is just about what happened, for as far as Abraham was concerned, Isaac was doomed to death, but he came back again alive! It was by faith that Isaac knew God would give future blessings to his two sons, Jacob and Esau.
By faith Jacob, when he was old and dying, blessed each of Joseph's two sons as he stood and prayed, leaning on the top of his cane. And it was by faith that Joseph, as he neared the end of his life, confidently spoke of God bringing the people of Israel out of Egypt; and he was so sure of it that he made them promise to carry his bones with them when they left! Moses' parents had faith too. When they saw that God had given them an unusual child, they trusted that God would save him from the death the king commanded, and they hid him for three months, and were not afraid.
It was by faith that Moses, when he grew up, refused to be treated as the grandson of the king, but chose to share ill-treatment with God's people instead of enjoying the fleeting pleasures of sin.
He thought that it was better to suffer for the promised Christ than to own all the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking forward to the great reward that God would give him. And it was because he trusted God that he left the land of Egypt and wasn't afraid of the king's anger. Moses kept right on going; it seemed as though he could see God right there with him.
And it was because he believed that God would save his people that he commanded them to kill a lamb as God had told them to and sprinkle the blood on the door posts of their homes, so that God's terrible Angel of Death could not touch the oldest child in those homes, as he did among the Egyptians. The people of Israel trusted God and went right through the Red Sea as though they were on dry ground. But when the Egyptians chasing them tried it, they all were drowned.
Hebrews 6:11-20
And we are anxious that you keep right on loving others as long as life lasts, so that you will get your full reward. Then, knowing what lies ahead for you, you won't become bored with being a Christian, nor become spiritually dull and indifferent, but you will be anxious to follow the example of those who received all that God had promised them because of their strong faith and patience.
For instance, there was God's promise to Abraham: God took an oath in his own name, since there was no one greater to swear by, that he would bless Abraham again and again, and give him a son and make him the father of a great nation of people. Then Abraham waited patiently until finally God gave him a son, Isaac, just as he had promised.
When a man takes an oath, he is calling upon someone greater than himself to force him to do what he has promised, or to punish him if he later refuses to do it; the oath ends all argument about it. God also bound himself with an oath, so that those he promised to help would be perfectly sure and never need to wonder whether he might change his plans.
He has given us both his promise and his oath, two things we can completely count on, for it is impossible for God to tell a lie. Now all those who flee to him to save them can take new courage when they hear such assurances from God; now they can know without doubt that he will give them the salvation he has promised them. This certain hope of being saved is a strong and trust-worthy anchor for our souls, connecting us with God himself behind the sacred curtains of heaven, where Christ has gone ahead to plead for us from his position as our High Priest with the honor and rank of Melchizedek.
Who is Melchizedek?
Hebrews 7:1-14
This Melchizedek was king of the city of Salem, and also a priest of the Most High God. When Abraham was returning home after winning a great battle against many kings, Melchizedek met him and blessed him; then Abraham took a tenth of all he had won in the battle and gave it to Melchizedek.
Melchizedek's name means "Justice", so he is the King of Justice, and he is also the King of Peace because of the name of his city, Salem, which means "Peace". Melchizedek had no father or mother and there is no record of any of his ancestors. He was never born and he never died but his life is like that of the Son of God - a priest forever.
See then how great this Melchizedek is:
(a) Even Abraham, the first and most honored of all God's chosen people, gave Melchizedek a tenth of the spoils he took from the kings he had been fighting. One could understand why Abraham would do this if Melchizedek had been a Jewish priest, for later on God's people were required by law to give gifts to help their priests because the priests were their relatives. But Melchizedek was not a relative, and yet Abraham paid him.
(b) Melchizedek placed a blessing upon mighty Abraham, and as everyone knows, a person who has the power to bless is always greater than the person he blesses.
(c) The Jewish priests, though mortal, received tithes, but we are told that Melchizedek lives on.
(d) One might even say that Levi himself (the ancestor of all Jewish priests, of all who receive tithes), paid tithes to Melchizedek through Abraham. For although Levi wasn't born yet, the seed from which he came was in Abraham when Abraham paid the tithes to Melchizedek.
(e) If the Jewish priests and their laws had been able to save us, why then did God need to send Christ as a priest with the rank of Melchizedek, instead of sending someone with the rank of Aaron - the same rank all other priests had?
And when God sends a new kind of priest, his law must be changed to permit it. As we all know, Christ did not belong to the priest-tribe of Levi, but came from the tribe of Judah which had not been chosen for priesthood; Moses had never given them that work.
Hebrews 7:15-25
So we can plainly see that God's method changed, for Christ, the new High Priest who came with the rank of Melchizedek, did not become a priest by meeting the old requirement of belonging to the tribe of Levi, but on the basis of power flowing from a life that cannot end. And the Psalmist points this out when he says of Christ, "You are a priest forever with the rank of Melchizedek."
Yes, the old system of priesthood based on family lines was cancelled because it didn't work. It was weak and useless for saving people. It never made anyone really right with God. But now we have a far better hope, for Christ makes us acceptable to God, and now we may draw near to him.
God took an oath that Christ would always be a Priest, although he never said that of other priests. Only to Christ he said, "The Lord has sworn and will never change his mind: You are a Priest forever, with the rank of Melchizedek." Because of God's oath, Christ can guarantee forever the success of this new and better arrangement.
Under the old arrangement there had to be many priests, so that when the older ones died off, the system could still be carried on by others who took their places. But Jesus lives forever and continues to be a Priest so that no one else is needed. He is able to save completely all who come to God through him. Since he will live forever, he will always be there to remind God that he has paid for their sins with his blood.
Hebrews 8:1-6
What we are saying is this: Christ, whose priesthood we have just described, is our High Priest, and is in heaven at the place of greatest honor next to God himself. He ministers in the temple in heaven, the true place of worship built by the Lord and not by human hands.
And since every high priest is appointed to offer gifts and sacrifices, Christ must make an offering too. The sacrifice he offers is far better than those offered by the earthly priests. (But even so, if he were here on earth he wouldn't even be permitted to be a priest, because down here the priests still follow the old Jewish system of sacrifices.) Their work is connected with the mere earthly model of the real tabernacle in heaven; for when Moses was getting ready to build the tabernacle, God warned him to follow exactly the pattern of the heavenly tabernacle as shown to him on Mount Sinai. But Christ, as a Minister in heaven, has been rewarded with the far more important work than those who serve under the old laws, because the new agreement which he passes on to us from God contains far more wonderful promises.
Hebrews 8:7-13
The old agreement didn't even work. If it had, there would have been no need for another to replace it. But God himself found fault with the old one, for he said, "The day will come when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and the people of Judah.
This new agreement will not be like the old one I gave to their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; they did not keep their part in that agreement, so I had to cancel it. But this is the new agreement I will make with the people of Israel, says the Lord: I will write my laws in their minds so that they will know what I want them to do without my even telling them, and these laws will be in their hearts so that they will want to obey them, and I will be their God and they shall be my people. And no one then will need to speak to his friend or neighbor or brother, saying, 'You, too, should know the Lord,' because everyone, great and small, will know me already. And I will be merciful to them in their wrong doings, and I will remember their sins no more."
God speaks of these new promises, of this new agreement, as taking the place of the old one; for the old one is out of date now and as been put aside forever.
Hebrews 9:1-10
Now in that first agreement between God and his people there were rules for worship and there was a sacred tent down here on earth. Inside this place of worship there were two rooms. The first one contained the golden candle-stick and a table with special loaves of holy bread upon it; this part was called the Holy Place. Then there was a curtain and behind the curtain was a room called the Holy of Holies. In that room there were a golden incense alter and the golden chest, called the arc of the covenant, completely covered on all sides with pure gold. Inside the arc were the tablets of stone with the Ten Commandments written on them, and a golden jar with some manna in it, and Aaron's wooden cane that budded. Above the golden chest were statues of angels called the cherubim - the guardians of God's glory - with their wings stretched out over the arc's golden cover, called the mercy seat. But enough of such details.
Well, when all was ready the priests went in and out of the first room whenever they wanted to, doing their work. But only the high priest went into the inner room, and then only once a year, all alone, and always with blood which is sprinkled on the mercy seat as an offering to God to cover his own mistakes and sins, and the mistakes and sins of all the people.
And the Holy Spirit uses all this to point out to us that under the old system the common people could not go into the Holy of Holies as long as the outer room and the entire system it represents were still in use.
This has an important lesson for us today. For under the old system, gifts and sacrifices were offered, but these failed to cleanse the hearts of the people who brought them. For the old system dealt only with certain rituals - what foods to eat and drink, rules for washing themselves, and rules about this and that. The people had to keep these rules to tide them over until Christ came with God's new and better way.
Hebrews 9:11-22
He [Jesus] came as High Priest of this better system which we now have. He went into that greater, perfect tabernacle in heaven, not made by men nor part of this world, and once for all took blood into that inner room, the Holy of Holies, and sprinkled it on the mercy seat; but it was not the blood of goats and calves. No, he took his own blood, and with it he, by himself, made sure of our eternal salvation.
And if under the old system the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of young cows could cleanse men's bodies from sin, just think how much more surely the blood of Christ will transform our lives and hearts. His sacrifice frees us from the worry of having to obey the old rules, and makes us want to serve the living God. For by the help of the eternal Holy Spirit, Christ willingly gave himself to God to die for our sins - he being perfect, without a single sin or fault. Christ came with this new agreement so that all who are invited may come and have forever all the wonders God has promised them. For Christ died to rescue them from the penalty of the sins they had committed while still under that old system.
Now, if someone dies and leaves a will - a list of things to be given away to certain people when he dies - no one gets anything until it is proved that the person who wrote the will is dead. The will goes into effect only after the death of the person who wrote it. While he is still alive no one can use it to get any of those things he has promised them.
That is why blood was sprinkled (as proof of Christ's death) before even the first agreement could go into effect. For after Moses had given the people all of God's laws, he took the blood of calves and goats along with water, and sprinkled the blood over the book of God's laws and over all the people, using branches of Hyssop bushes and scarlet wool to sprinkle with. Then he said, "This is the blood that marks the beginning of the agreement between you and God, the agreement God commanded me to make with you." And in the same way he sprinkled blood on the sacred tent and whatever instruments were used for worship. In fact we can say that under the old agreement almost everything was cleansed by sprinkling it with blood and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
St. John the Baptist’s message
August, 2019
The name of our church is St. John the Baptist. It is a pity that we are not following what he preached when he was preparing the way for Jesus. He said, repent and turn to the Lord. It’s the same message that is given to us, today. We have to repent and turn to the Lord. Do away and come out of these pagan worship of man-made traditions and obey God’s commandments and Laws.
Leviticus 19: 1-2 "The Lord also told Moses to tell the people of Israel, “You must be Holy because I, the Lord your God, am Holy. You must respect your mothers and fathers, and obey my Sabbath law, for I am the Lord your God."
Leviticus: 20:7-8 "So sanctify yourselves and be holy for I am the Lord, your God. You must obey all of my commandments, for I am the Lord who sanctifies you.”
St. John the Baptist said, according to Apostle John 3:33-39 "Those who believe in him , discover that God is a fountain of truth. For this one - sent by God - speaks God’s words, for God’s Spirit is upon him without measure or limit. The Father loves this man because he is his Son, and God has given him everything there is. And all who trust him - God’s Son - to save them have eternal life; those who don’t believe and obey him shall never see heaven, but the wrath of God remains upon them.”
Are we like Israel in the old days as mentioned in 2 Kings 17:12-15 ?; "Yes, they worshiped idols, despite the Lord’s specific and repeated warnings. Again and again the Lord had sent prophets to warn both Israel and Judah to turn from their evil ways; he had warned them to obey his commandments which he had given to their ancestors through these prophets, but Israel would not listen. The people were as stubborn as their ancestors and refused to believe in the Lord their God. They rejected his laws and covenant he had made with their ancestors, and despised all the warnings. In their foolishness they worshiped heathen idols despite the Lord’s stern warnings."
There is no time to waste. Let us repent for our disobedience and return to worship the Lord in obedience to His Commandments and Laws. Only with repentance comes revival. This will lead to the restoration of Christ’s Church. The signs of time are here and now. The Lord has already given me the sign of his double-edged sword coming down. The harvest, as Jesus explained to his disciples in one of his parables, is now ready to be harvested. The time is ready - for the corn to be separated from the weed. Matthew 4:10 “And even now the axe of God's judgement is poised to chop down every unproductive tree. They will be chopped and burned.”
Don’t you see the signs of the end-time? We are not fighting against flesh and blood but against evil forces that are unseen as prophesied and warned in the Bible by Apostle Paul in Ephesians chapter 6. The Holy Spirit of the Lord has been sending me with the message of Truth and warning beforehand. But who would listen? Many times since 2014, I have approached, requested and pleaded with Rev. Moses and also sent Sabbath messages on every Sabbath reminding of the commandment of the Lord. I even spoke to Rev. Wilson in the presence of Rev. Moses about the spirit of the Lord commanding me to give the truth of the Holy Sabbath, of the Lord to the church. Rev. Wilson assured me that if it is the Lord’s will, we shall follow the Sabbath.
The Holy Spirit told me to write down the messages and to distribute them to the members of the church and that’s exactly what we have been doing. Most often the members of the Church would run away and avoid us. It is indeed sad to think that they are running away from Jesus, who is our Savior and our Redeemer, God paid a heavy price for our sins. Yet, our merciful Lord Jesus is standing with his arms out-stretched calling us to come to him.
Then the Lord commanded to extend the field for the sowing of his seeds. Hence by his grace, we opened the web site to take His Word to the ends of the world. Matthew 24:14 "And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world , so that all nations will hear it, and, then, finally the end will come."
Dear friends, everything happens according to the Scriptures. Jesus wants us to be ready. Are you ready? Return to the family of Jesus. Luke 22:34-35 "Watch out don’t let my sudden coming catch you unawares, don’t let me find you living in careless ease, carousing and drinking and occupied with the problems of this life, like the rest of the world."
Praise the Lord for his kind mercy upon us, his people. Amen.
