Introduction
The
Bible appears to many
as a collection of historical writings. However, the
Scriptures are alive with prophetic meaning for our day, and
contain many hidden messages. Once a student of the
Scriptures begins to learn the prophetic language of
Scripture, the prophetic interpretations (the 'now-for-today'
meanings) begin to come alive. One such example is the
message of the preparation of the Bride, as she makes ready for the
appearing and arrival of her Bridegroom.
The first series of messages will be directed to the Bride, with
the hope of adding some of the basics as time allows. The
second series of messages will be presented to address the called-out ones in general.
Our VisionFather is now calling His redeemed to return unto Him. He is now opening
the seals on His Word, and is now revealing Messiah Yahushua as
The Living Way to the Father. Both Yahushua and the apostle Paul
revealed much of The Way in the form of 'mysteries' of the Kingdom, the
foremost of which are "Messiah-in-you" the (only) hope of glory (Col
1:27), and the "mystery of His Will" (Eph 1:9).
Thus our
vision is that of all His Disciples/talmidim — to reveal Messiah
as The Way, and to help make the Way 'prepared' within the
heart of each of His people.
It is with the profound mystery of Father's Grace as the centerpiece on the table, that we present the various dishes of the meat
of His Word. This meat will strengthen and encourage the Believers,
that they may be able to remove the Stumbling-Blocks that have long
prevented His people from walking in the Way. As the Stumbling-Blocks
are removed, the Way is revealed, and becomes a highway on which the
Redeemed may return to our Father.
Our GoalThe
goal of this website is to present the Truths of Scripture in the
same way a Restaurant presents a meal to its customers. If the meal is
wholesome, nourishing, well prepared, is a good value, and is
accompanied by a good aroma, the customers will come, and will
return often. The prophetic word - the 'meat in due season' of
Yahushua's Word - when accompanied by the aroma of the Holy Spirit,
will feed many.
On the other hand, this website makes no claims
of exclusivity, nor is there any compulsion implied. This website
is set as a smorgasbord Table, and what-you-see-is-what-you-get. One
may receive, or not receive, as one so desires. Let everyone
gather the manna according to his own eating, and according to his own
desires. If anyone does not like the food as presented, let them pass
along, and go to another Restaurant. Everyone has a different appetite,
so food for one may not be appropriate for another.
The
Cook is open to suggestions, however, and is willing to correct
anything that is not according to the written Recipe.
Many
would choose to drink spiritual milk, and eat spiritual sweets and
desserts exclusively. This Cook, however, says one must first eat the
broccoli and spinach, and the meat and potatoes, before the
dessert can be served. Sorry! Milk is for the immature, but eating
a balanced, healthy meal is the way to grow up healthy and strong,
and is the only way to become mature!
Therefore if one dislikes what is written on this site, then this site
is not for that one. These writings are only for those who desire them,
our subscribers, and are not intended for those who do not desire to
receive them.
Site PurposeThe
purpose of this website is twofold. First, it is to encourage others to
study the Scriptures for themselves, as did the Bereans. Father is now
beginning to loose the seals on the Scriptures. If we desire to see
what Father is now revealing, we must dig into the Scriptures to find
the nuggets that come into view.
Second, it is to share
with others, and then to hear responses, on the few pieces of the
puzzle that have been given to me. Yahuweh seems to delight in
not giving all the pieces of the puzzle of Truth to any one individual,
but He does require each one of us to share our bits of truth with each
other. Only as we each contribute pieces of the puzzle we have found, can the full picture of Messiah be revealed.
Use
of
Names
For
many centuries, Believers have acquired many
unscriptural traditions. One of these is the
practice of changing or
replacing the name of the Heavenly Father, and His Holy One, the
Messiah. Today Father is bringing His people out
of Captivity, and is restoring many things, including
the
names of the Father and
the Son.
When speaking in reference to the Creator,
our Heavenly
Father, I do not use the traditional title "LORD" in all caps, except
in quoting of Scripture passages. This is a title that
was substituted by the translators, in place of
His name,
Yahuweh.
When speaking in reference to the Messiah, I
have chosen to
use His
Biblical Hebrew name, and do not use the Greek
name Jesus, except
in quoting of Scripture passages. When a Hebrew
mother
gives birth to
her baby, the child is not given a Greek
name, but a Hebrew
name. Moreover, the actual name of the Messiah is prophesied
throughout the Hebrew Old Testament writings as
being 'Yahushua' meaning "Yah is
Salvation."
This Hebrew name appears as the Greek name 'Iesus' in the 1611
KJV and the Greek manuscripts, but was changed by the
translators to 'Jesus' in the newer versions of the KJV, and in
subsequent modern versions.
In these writings I have chosen to use His given
name
'Yahushua' because
the Greek name 'Jesus' was never His Hebrew name. For further insight to Messiah's Biblical name, see What is His Name, and What is His Son's Name — If You Can Tell?
