Do the 10 Commandments still apply for today?

2 Timothy 2:19 (ASV)

19 Howbeit the firm foundation of God standeth, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his: and, Let every one that nameth the name of the Lord depart from unrighteousness.

So if we are Jehovah's and Jehoshua's then we will depart from unrighteousness. The opposite of righteousness is sin. What is the biblical definition of sin?

 1 John 3:4 (KJV)

4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Many in Christendom teach that the law is not for today failing to make a distinction between man made commandments and ordinances that were against us and the actual law written by the very fingers of Jehovah. 

 Colossians 2:14 (KJV)

14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;

Many use this scripture to teach others that we are no longer under the law of God. Ask yourself this though, were the 10 commanments against us or for us? Pulpit preachers teach that the 10 commandments were against us especially the Sabbath. What does the Bible say though?  Let's take a look:

 Deuteronomy 6:24 (ASV)

24 And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as at this day.

 Psalm 19:7 (ASV)

7 The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.

There you go! The law is for our good and it is perfect. It restores the soul making us wise. Those who teach that the law of Jehovah is a bondage is a liar and the truth is not in him. The law was given to protect us and preserve us and it restores us. The Calvinists and easy grace teachers say that it is not necessary to keep God's 10 Commandments, so they (teachers against the law of Jehovah) if  unrepentant, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. The above scripture in Deuteronomy clearly says that the law if Jehovah is not against us so then what ordinances is Paul talking about that were against us? Let's look again at Colossians 2:

 Colossians 2:20-22 (KJV)

20 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances,

21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;

22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men?

See right here,  it is the commandments and doctrines of men that are against us and that we are not to keep. The question then becomes, are the 10 commandments from man or Jehovah? Let's again look at scripture:

 Exodus 31:12-18 (ASV)

12 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

13 Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily ye shall keep my sabbaths: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am Jehovah who sanctifieth you.

14 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore; for it is holy unto you: every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

15 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to Jehovah: whosoever doeth any work on the sabbath day, he shall surely be put to death.

16 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.

17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever: for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

Verse 18 destroys in one fell swoop that the 10 commandments were against us as a bondage and that they are mans commandments. False teachers have lied to you brethren. The 10 Commandments are directly from the finger of Jehovah and they are blessing to us. And like it or not, the Sabbath (Seventh day) is a part of those commandments. 

In fact, Jehovah tells us to remember the Sabbath day as Holy knowing that perverse men would come along and replace the Sabbath with the alleged "Lord's day" Sunday and also do away with the 4th commandment altogether.

Notice in verse 13 of this passage in Exodus that Jehovah says that Sabbath keeping will be a sign between him and Israel throughout their generations which is a perpetual covenant as stated in verse 16 (Isaiah 66:22-23). With the arrival of the Messiah Jehoshua and the opening up of the gospel to the gentiles (The grafting in). The Israel of God is now the Church made up of Jews and Gentiles. It's not that the Church replaces Israel but rather Israel is now opened up for Gentiles as well, being that the prerequisite for entrance is faith in the Messiah Jehoshua. The Jews that reject Messiah are at least temporarily excluded from being part of Israel until they accept Jehoshua as their Saviour. This sign between Jehovah and His people are likened to a seal of ownership and their Sabbath keeping will be one of the ways they identify themselves as His (Jehovah's).

Teachers from the pulpits that promote the transgression of Jehovah's law and call the 4th commandment of keeping the sabbath a bondage ignore this passage in Isaiah:

 Isaiah 58:13-14 (ASV)

13 If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, and the holy of Jehovah honorable; and shalt honor it, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor speaking thine own words:

14 then shalt thou delight thyself in Jehovah; and I will make thee to ride upon the high places of the earth; and I will feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken it.

This above passage again destroys the false teaching that Sabbath keeping is a bondage as the passage above clearly says the opposite.  Who are you going to believe?  Pulpit preachers and you tube preachers or the Word of God?

You might say though, that Jesus changed the law. What does the Bible say about that? Let's take a look in Malachi and Hebrews:

Malachi 3:6-7 (ASV)

6 For I, Jehovah, change not; therefore ye, O sons of Jacob, are not consumed.

7 From the days of your fathers ye have turned aside from mine ordinances, and have not kept them. Return unto me, and I will return unto you, saith Jehovah of hosts. But ye say, Wherein shall we return?

Clearly Jehovah doesn't change and neither does His law (the 10 commandments-Moral law). How about His Son Jehoshua?  Does he change?  Remember that Jehoshua is also God as part of the Two person Godhead along with His Father Jehovah. Let's now take a look at Hebrews:

Hebrews 13:8 (KJV)

8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Like Father like Son, neither of them change and in fact when Jehoshua was doing His earthly ministry, he stated without question that He came to speak His Father's (Jehovah's) word's not His own. (I know this a tough pill for many, in Christendom to swallow but the Word of God is true and every man a liar).

John 12:49-50 (KJV)

49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

Jesus never abolished or did away with His Father's law (The 10 commandments including the Sabbath). Let's look at scripture for proof:

Matthew 5:17-19 (ASV)

17 Think not that I came to destroy the law or the prophets: I came not to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass away from the law, till all things be accomplished.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Let me ask you this,  has heaven and earth passsed away? Absolutely not! So the law (10 Commandments) still applies for us today. Jesus even says that those who teach others to break the least of the commandments will be called least in the kingdom of heaven. Today, this would apply to much of Christendom's Pastor's, teacher's and Theologians.

Pulpit preachers and their followers will say the commandments are burdensome especially the 4th commandment of Sabbath keeping. Again, we must go to the word of God for the truth and not man's opinion:

1 John 5:1-3 (KJV)

5 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

Again, per verse 3, those who teach that the commandments (the decalogue) are a bondage are found to be liars according to God's word. And guess what? The 4th commandment to keep the Sabbath day as Holy is part of Jehovah's commandments. Another tough pill to swallow here for the Calvinists, easy grace teachers and others who teach the that Jehovah's law is done away with, is that loving God and keeping His commandments are one and the same according to verse 2. There is no separation here between loving Jehovah and His Son Jehoshua and keeping His commandments. It even states that by keeping the commandments we love God's children who are the brethren (brother's and sisters) in Jehoshua Messiah. See, we are part of the God Family and to be apart of this Family we must keep the commandments of Jehovah. We are the children of this Family with the Father (Jehovah) and the Son (Jehoshua) as the heads of it with the Father as being in Most High position of authority and His Son being given rulership over everything else and also ruling with His Father as both sit on thrones. Notice in the book, of Revelation that only Jehovah and Jehoshua sit on thrones, The Holy Spirit doesn't. Both the Father Jehovah and The Son Jehoshua Messiah are God beings in the Two person Godhead both being equal in nature but im position the Father has authority. This is similar to a Husband and wife where they are both equal but the Husband has headship. Don't believe me? Well at least believe scripture! 

1 Corinthians 15:24-28 (KJV)

24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Jesus Christ will subject Himself under the Father's (Jehovah) authority. No Trinitarian has able to refute this scripture as they usually spiritualize it away just like their mother, the Roman Catholic Church and the Athanasius/Augustinian platonic philosphers of Christendom.

1 Corinthians 11:1-3 (KJV)

1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

2 Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.

3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

I ask, who is the head of Christ according to the apostle Paul? Verse 3 destroys the teaching of the Trinity in one fell swoop as Paul clearly says that Jehovah God is the head of His Son Jesus Christ. This will be another scripture Trinitarian's mangle however I would rather believe the word of Paul the Apostle and the Word of God over any man any day.

The end time last days Congregation will keep the commandments (Decalogue) per the Word of God. Notice in the below two passages in Revelation it says that the Saints keep the commandments of God and the faith and testimony of Jesus. These are three separate but linked signs of the remnant Congregation of the last days. The commandments (Decalogue of Jehovah) clearly being separate from the faith of Jesus (His earthly ministry, death on the stake,  3 literal days and literal nights buried in the grave, bodily resurrection,  ascension to the right hand of the Father), the testimony of Jesus (spirit of prophecy, old testament prophets, Jesus prophetic words in the gospels, other prophetic words in the new testament and also any prophets since the bible was written such as Ellen G. White). These are 3 distinct signs that the last days remnant Congregation will have but they are linked together as well.

Revelation 12:17 (KJV)

17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 14:12 (KJV)

12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Revelation 19:10 (KJV)

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

Finally, another rebuke to those pulpit preachers and their followers that lie and say that keeping the commandments of Jehovah (the 10 commandments including the Sabbath) is a bondage. 

Revelation 22:14 (KJV)

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Revelation 22:14 (KJV)

14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

The War of the last days!

A war is here in these last days and it is over worship! There will be only two sides in this war. Those who worship the True and Living God Jehovah along with His Son Jehoshua Messiah and Those who wonder after and worship the beast (the Antimessiah- Papacy) thereby worshipping the dragon (Satan). Those who worship Jehovah and Jehoshua will be part of the remnant Christian Congregation of the last days. This congregation will be known for four main attributes according to the book of Revelation. 

They will keep the commandments of Jehovah (The 10 of the moral law including the 4th commandment to keep the Sabbath day as Holy), the faith of Jehoshua (his earthly ministry, death on the stake,  bodily resurrection, ascension to heaven to right hand of the Father), the testimony of Jehoshua which is the spirit of prophecy (the old testament prophets, Jehoshua's prophetic words in the gospels, other new testament writings including the book of Revelation and all other prophets since the Holy scriptures were written such as Ellen G. White) - Revelation 12:17, Revelation 14:12, Revelation 19:10, Revelation 22:14. The fourth attribute of the remnant Christian Congregation will be one of spiritual purity as they will not defile themselves with women which in prophecy represents a Church, in this case it would be a harlot church (Revelation 14:4, Revelation 18:4). This remnant Congregation will follow the Lamb where ever he goes. They will not regard celebrity preachers. No guile will be found in their mouth (Revelation 14:5) which will disqualify much of mainstream Christian leadership from being a part of this Remnant Congregation.

Jehoshua is coming for a pure Congregation, one without spot or wrinkle. It's not that individual members of this last days Christian Congregation will be morally perfect but that it's worship will be perfect. It will be pure worship of Jehovah and His Son Jehoshua. No false doctrines will be practiced. No paganism will be allowed in this last days Congregation. No satanic practices such as Yoga, Astrology etc. will be permitted. No worship of the pagan trinity god in their worship of Jehovah will be allowed. Human vain philosophy (such as Physchology) will not be regarded or esteemed but only the precious Word of Jehovah and His Son Jehoshua will be authority. No spiritualism will be allowed such as praying to and for the dead. No idolatry will be allowed including the veneration of images and statues. The mixing of the pagan and pure will not be something this last days Congregation puts up with.

This last days Congregation will not make merchandise of Jehovah's people by selling plundering them for their goods. Local assemblies within this last days Congregation will practice real Christianity by bearing each other's burdens, having all thing's in common,  giving of their material blessings to those brother's and sisters in need on their assemblies. This last days Congregation will not practice Churchianity but they will follow the model laid out for the Church in the book of Acts (Acts 2:42-47).

This last days Congregation will seek fellowship with each other as a lifestyle rather than just a once a week obligation  They will not invest their money in big buildings that are mistakenly called "the house of God" but rather they will invest in the real house of God which is the believers themselves (The real Temple of Jehovah). This last days Congregation will test every spirit and hold fast to the things that are true. They will test those who say they are apostles but are not (Revelation 2:2). They will be Bereans at heart testing the words of men versus scripture (Acts 17:10-11). The False Church of the Last days, the great whore Mystery Babylon and her harlot daughters will be the very opposite in character of what makes the Remnant Christian Congregation. 

This remnant Congregation will receive the seal of the Living God (Jehovah) according to Revelation 7:1-4 and Revelation 14:1-5. Verse 1 In Revelation 14 says that the Father's name (Jehovah) will be written on the foreheads of those part of this last days Congregation. To the contrary, those who are a part of Mystery Babylon and her harlot daughters will receive the mark of the beast which is a spiritual mark just as the seal of Jehovah is spiritual. How is one deemed a part of this False Church of the last days? They wonder after the sea beast (The Antimessiah - Papacy), by doing so they worship the dragon (satan) - Revelation 13:3-4. All who are not written in the Lamb's book of life will worship this sea beast (Antimessiah - Papacy) - Revelation 13:8. Those Christians still alive during these very last days must be part of the remnant Christian Congregation to have their name written in the Lamb's book of life.

Those not part of remnant Christian Congregation will be part of Mystery Babylon the Great (Roman Catholicism) either directly or by way of many of it's harlot daughters (all false religion including apostate Protestantism, atheism, nature worship, new age etc.) Those Christians who still are a part of Babylon via their apostate denominations will be given one final warning to come out of her otherwise she/he will receive her plagues of Jehovah's righteous judgment (Revelation 18:4). How else will one be deemed part of Mystery Babylon and her harlot daughters? By drinking her wine (false doctrines - Revelation 18:3) such as immortal soul teaching and unending hell fire in a spiritual underworld, these teachings lead to spiritualism. Worshipping a perversion of the Godhead such as the trinity and tri theism, praying to and for the dead, false version of tongues, Mary worship, statue and image worship. Also, anyone who calls the beast (papacy) "Holy Father" or "Vicar of Christ". Even looking at him at as a "man of God" will deem you part of Babylon the Great. Following the Pope's (Antimessiah) decrees and laws including observance of a Sunday law will deem one part of Babylon. Those who worship Babylon's gods will be deemed part of her. Those who allow themselves to be deceived by the False Prophet's (earth beast - America and by extension the U.N.) false miracles thereby causing them to worship the sea beast (papal Rome - Antimessiah). This false prophet (America/U.N.) will say to, those who dwell on the earth to make an image of the beast (church-state union). Those who worship the image of the beast (The Union of Apostate Protestantism/Evangelicalism and by extension other false religions with America and by extension the U.N.) will be deemed part of the great whore of Babylon (Revelation 13:11-14).

Anyone meeting the above criteria will then get the mark of the beast which is spiritual (Revelation 13:16-18 and Revelation14:9-11). Those who don't go along with this satanic conspiracy and worship the image of the beast (Church-State union-Apostate Christianity by extension other false religions in league with America and by extension the U.N) will be killed or sought to be killed (Revelation 13:15). This last statement is heavy and sorrowful and one of a grieving nature. This means that many in visible/institutional Christendom will play the Judas role of betrayer and turn over those of the Remnant Congregation (true saints) to be put to death by councils of men (Matthew 24:9-10). The remnant Christian Congregation will flee to the wilderness and the apostates of Christendom will stay in the mainstream of society seeking to capture and betray the true Saints of God. The grieving nature of this is not necessarily just the betrayal of false brethren but also that those in the remnant who flee were what society deemed the least of these and many outward professing Christians are esteemed by those in the church and are looked at as spiritual giants or as righteous will stay behind in Babylon and apostasize.. These are those who have a form of Godliness but deny the power thereof (meaning being truly transformed from the inside out). Many of these apostates are the most faithful of Church attenders, tithers, doers of good works, missionaries, Pastor's, conference speakers, televangelists, worship bands,  celebrities who professed Christ. This is a sobering realization. Another grevious realizion was that even children will cause their parents to be put to death because of their parents refusal to go along with the Antimessiah system due their fidelity to Jehovah and Jehoshua (Matthew 10:21-22 and Mark 13:12-13). The reverse will also be true. 

The counsel of the Holy Spirit to the Saints of Jehovah God and The Lord Jesus Christ concerning Babylon is this, run and don't look back lest you be like Lot's wife! 

Genesis 19:24-26 (DNKJB)

"Then Jehovah rained upon Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Jehovah out of heaven; And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground. But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt."

Exposing Babylon's false version of speaking in tongues!

Exposing the False pagan version of speaking in tongues,  another doctrine of the Whore of Babylon! Most Churches out there who speak in tongues are speaking a false version of what the Biblical tongues are, which is actual languages for the purpose of spreading the gospel. The tongues that are spoken in most Churches today are nothing but babbling=Babel which by definition means confusion.

1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV)

33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.


Acts 2:1-11 (KJV)

1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans?

8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

Clearly the gift of tongues here was not useless babble but actual languages spoken so that those of other nations would be able to understand the message of the gospel in their own tongue.

Acts 10:44-48 (KJV)

44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.

45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,

47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.

Look at verse 47, Peter is saying that Cornelius and his household received the Holy Spirit, with the evidence being that they spoke in tongues, just as he and his brethren did at pentecost. So if Peter and the others spoke in actual languages at pentecost (Acts 2), then we can safely say that Cornelius and his household also spoke in actual languages due to Peter saying "which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we". Peter is saying that the tongues that Cornelius and his household spoke in are of the same manner that him and the other disciples spoke in at pentecost.

Ellen G. White wrote concerning this issue. She states...

Some of these persons have exercises which they call gifts and say that the Lord has placed them in the church. They have an unmeaning gibberish which they call the unknown tongue, which is unknown not only by man but by the Lord and all heaven. Such gifts are manufactured by men and women, aided by the great deceiver. Fanaticism, false excitement, false talking in tongues, and noisy exercises have been considered gifts which God has placed in the church. Some have been deceived here.

— Testimonies for the Church Vol 1, p. 412

She also stated... "They give themselves up to wild, excitable feelings and make unintelligible sounds which they call the gift of tongues, and a certain class seem to be charmed with these strange manifestations. A strange spirit rules with this class, which would bear down and run over anyone who would reprove them. God's Spirit is not in the work and does not attend such workmen. They have another spirit."



Is the Trinity biblical?

John 20:21-22 (KJV)

21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

Verse 21- Jesus saying that his Father Jehovah has sent him shows that he and the Father, while being of one mind and spirit, are distinct divine beings who share in the Godhead diety. They are not literally the same being but rather distinctly their own. They are of each other (mind, breath, essence) but not literally in each other as far as their beings go. Just as members of the Church have one mind and one Spirit but yet are all distinct in person hood. We are not in a literal sense in each other,  same goes with Jehovah,God the Father and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ. 

Verse 22 - This is key here in debunking the Trinity doctrine. Jesus breathes on them (the disciples) the Holy Ghost. Ghost =pneuma ( Greek ) which means a current of air, breath ( blast ) or a breeze; (by analogy or figurative) a spirit, I.e. (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, demon, or (divine) God, Christ's Spirit,  ghost, life, spirit (ual,-ually), mind, the wind, air in motion, a breeze,  blast.

So we see from the above definition that the Ghost means breath, mind and essence-life, a current of air. We can safely say then that Jesus didn't breathe a literal person into/onto the disciples as that would make absolutely no practical or spiritual sense. In order to believe in the Trinity you have to conclude that Jesus breathed a literal divine God into/onto the disciples. That would not be a correct application of this text. Being that Ghost in the greek means breath, mind and essence-life then it is safe to say that Jesus breathed his own Spirit into/onto them which is his breath, mind and essence. Jesus being God is Holy so in effect so is his Spirit. So the disciples here received the Holy Spirit which is the breath, mind and wind of God and of Christ. 

Ephesians 4:3-6 (KJV)

3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,

6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

We see here clearly in the above verses that there is One Lord which is Christ Jesus and One God which is the Father Jehovah.  Note that it says the Father Jehovah is above all and father of all which includes Christ Jesus his Son. The Father is in us. How is he in us? Through the agency of his Holy Spirit which is his breath, mind and essence. Note in verse 3, it talks about the unity of the Spirit and the call to keep it. Verse 4 also says there is one Spirit. This Spirit is of  Jehovah God the Father and his Son Jesus Christ being their breath, mind and essence. Just as we are one Spirit as the Church and one Spirit with Jehovah and Jesus, so to are the Father and the Son one Spirit which consists of breath, mind and essence. The have the same Spirit of which is the Holy Ghost. This Spirit is given to us as a comforter and a truth leader. This Spirit comes out of God and works through Jesus Christ who is the unseen presence of the comforter and truth teller. So the Holy Spirit is not a distinct person which is part of the Godhead diety as it's own being but rather it is Jehovah God the Father's and the Lord Jesus Christ very own Spirit which consists of their breath, mind and wind.

Ephesians 4:23 KJV

23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;

Notice the connection between spirit and mind. Spirit here in the greek is the same word as Ghost in Matthew 28 which means breath, air, mind. Mind=nous (Greek) which means understanding,  mind, (by implication) meaning,  disposition,  moral inclination,  equivalent to the heart, (divine or human;  in thought, feeling, or will).


We see from the above description in the greek, that the mind has nothing to do with a distinct being separate from it's origin (the person or deity of who it dwells in and from). The Spirit from the definition in the greek, is one's very breath, essence and mind. The Spirit and mind are closely related and the mind is in fact a characteristic of someone's spirit. In this context it speaks of us as humans but it is also the same for our creator's Jehovah and the Lord Jesus Christ. The Holy Ghost is the very mind of Christ and of God. Being that the mind is not something that can be considered a distinct person but rather eminates from it's origin, in this case being God and His Son Jesus, we then can easily refute the false trinity teaching which states the Holy Spirit is a distinct separate being and person that is God as part of the Godhead diety. The Holy Spirit is part of the Godhead insofar as it is the very breath, mind and wind of Jehovah God and His Son The Lord Jesus Christ. It is not part of the Godhead as a distinct person and it is not to be worshipped or prayed to as such, but rather we pray to Jehovah God the Father and His Son The Lord Jesus Christ to pour their Spirit on us and into us.

1st John 1:3 KJV

"That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ."

John states that our fellowship as Christians is with Jehovah God the Father and his Son The Lord Jesus Christ. No mention of the Holy Spirit. Why is this, being that many believe that the Holy Spirit is part of the Godhead diety as a distinct person and being? Is it because the Holy Spirit rather than being a distinct being as part of the Godhead is actually the spirit of God and the spirit of Christ? The Holy Spirit comes out of God and out of Christ, their very breath, mind and wind. This is different than it being a seperate distinct person who is God.

 Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV)

18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Many people will use the above scripture to prove the Trinity doctrine but remember when ascribing a God diety in the form of a distinct person to a substance, one must provide clear Biblical evidence. This is serious,  it's not just a matter of a non essential but it's actually denoting something as God. All we can gather from this passage is that we are to baptize new believers in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. This passage in and of itself doesn't denote diety  but we can ascertain from multitudes of other passages in scripture that indeed the Jehovah The Father and His Son Jesus Christ are distinct persons of the GodHead. However can we do this with the Holy Spirit?  We will see as this study progresses. Although we can easily find out here what "Holy Ghost" means, Holy=hagios (Greek) which means sacred, pure, clean, consecrated,  devoted, hallowed, worthy of reverence and veneration,  Holy, set apart. Ghost=pneuma (Greek) which means a current of air, breath (blast) or a breeze; (by analogy or figuratively) a spirit, mind, ghost, life, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition.

So by the above description in the greek, we can say that the Holy Spirit is the sacred breath, mind and wind of Jehovah God The Father and his Son The Lord Jesus Christ. The word spirit in the greek is not denoted as a seperate distinct being but rather life that comes out of something already in existence whether that be the spirit of a person or the Spirit of Jehovah God and his Son The Lord Jesus Christ. So, we can conclude that when baptizing new converts we do so by the name of Jehovah God the Father and His Son The Lord Jesus Christ and by their Holy Spirit which comes forth from them and out of them as their bery breath, mind and essence and not being of it's own separate distinction in the Godhead.

Many will use the below passage to prove that God is a Trinity however most biblical scholars agree that this scripture has no authentic manuscript authority and was inserted into the Holy scriptures. So much for the KJV being perfect!

◄ 1 John 5:7 ( KJV)

"For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

Wikipedia

"The Comma Johanneum (or Johannine Comma or Heavenly Witnesses) is a comma (a short clause) in the First Epistle of John, 1 John 5:7–8. The scholarly consensus is that that passage is a Latin corruption that entered the Greek manuscript tradition in subsequent copies.

The passage in question, 1 John 5:7-8 (KJV), with the Comma in bold print, reads:

7. For there are three that bear record in heaven,the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost:and these three are one.8. And there are three that bear witness in earth,the spirit, and the water, and the blood:and these three agree in one.

The Comma and the question of its authenticity have particular bearing on the development of the doctrine of the Trinity, which is central to most mainstream Christian denominations."

The central figure in the 16th-century history of the Comma Johanneum is the humanistErasmus,[107] and his efforts leading to thepublication of the Greek New Testament. The Comma was omitted in the first edition in 1516, the Novum Instrumentum omne : diligenter ab Erasmo Roterodamo recognitum & emendatum and the second edition of 1519. The verse is placed in the third edition, published in 1522, and those of 1527 and 1535.

Ratio Seu Methodus and Paraphrase Edit

Erasmus included the Comma, with commentary, in his paraphrase edition, first published in 1520.[n 55] And in "Ratio seu Methodus compendio perveniendi ad veram theologiam", first published in 1518, Erasmus included the Comma in the interpretation of John 12 and 13. Erasmian scholar John Jack Bateman, discussing the Paraphrase and theRatio verae theologiae, says of these uses of the Comma that "Erasmus attributes some authority to it despite any doubts he had about its transmission in the Greek text."

Controversies Edit

The New Testament of Erasmus provoked critical responses that focused on a number of verses, including his text and translation decisions on Romans 9:5, John 1:1, 1 Timothy 1:17, Titus 2:13 and Philippians 2:6. The absence of the Comma from the first two editions received a sharp response from churchmen and scholars, and was discussed and defended by Erasmus in the correspondence with Edward Lee and Lopez de Zúñiga (Stunica), and Erasmus is also known to have referenced the verse in correspondence with Antoine Brugnard in 1518. [n 57] The first two Erasmus editions only had a small note about the verse. The major Erasmus writing regarding Comma issues was in the Annotationes to the third edition of 1522, expanded in the fourth edition of 1527 and then given a small addition in the fifth edition of 1535.

The 'Erasmus Promise'Edit

Erasmus is said to have replied to his critics that the Comma did not occur in any of the Greek manuscripts he could find, but that he would add it to future editions if it appeared in a single Greek manuscript.[109] Such a manuscript was subsequently produced, some say concocted, by a Franciscan, and Erasmus, true to his word, added the Comma to his 1522 edition, but with a lengthy footnote setting out his suspicion that the manuscript had been prepared expressly to confute him. This Erasmus change was accepted into the Received Text editions, the chief source for the King James Version, thereby fixing the Comma firmly in the English-language scriptures for centuries."





The Bible proves that the Father Jehovah and The Son Jesus Christ are Two seperate distinct individual persons

We Are to Be One With the Father and the Son

Jesus also taught:

I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one (John 17:20-23).

Jesus is one with God the Father as He expects His people to be one. As His people are made up of different individuals, so therefore is God. Jesus continually emphasized the family relationship between Himself as Son and the Father. Furthermore, Jesus' statement makes it clear that those called will be part of God's family as well--how else will true Christians attain the same glory as Jesus? Paul essentially reiterates this in Romans 8:28-29.

The key to eternal life is found right here and in no other formula or doctrinal creed!

John 17:3 (ASV)

3 And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God (Jehovah), and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ.

Very telling passage here in Revelation. In verse 7 we see Jesus Christ "The Lamb" taking the scroll out of the right hand of Him (Jehovah God) who sits on the throne. This right here is evidence enough that Jehovah God and The Lord Jesus Christ are two seperate distinct individual persons and are not the same substance as some doctrines teach. They are not play acting,  Jesus is not taking the scroll from His own right hand. Also look at verse 10, the Bible is clear that we will live on this earth for eternity once it is made new (Revelation 21 and Isaiah 65:17-25). The earth will not be restored to it's edenic beauty and paradise until after the millennium reign in Heaven of the Saints with Jehoshua. The false teaching of an earthly millennium is unbiblical and it's sets people up to be deceived by the antichrist and his establishment of an earthly New World Order which will promise "peace and safety" but instead sudden destruction will be their fate. The earthly millennium teaching uses scripture, for proof of their doctrine, that actually applies to the New Heaven and New Earth after the Second resurrection of unbelievers. This earth will only be restored one and one time only and that is after this current earth is purified by Jehovah once he executes unbelievers after the second resurrection in a Lake of Fire right here on this earth.  This fire will consume unbelievers into annihilation and destroy them hence annihilationism rather than unending fire. In other words they will cease to exist. Sodom and Gomorrha is the example set forth of the destruction of unbelievers in the Lake of Fire meaning that it will destroy forever those who are part of the second death and leave no traces of them afterwards.  This is exactly what happened to Sodom and Gomorrha,  go there now and there is no trace of any of them and the fire has been
 extinguished (Jude 5-7.amd 2 Peter 2:4-6).

Revelation 5:1-10 (NKJV)

1 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?” 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll, or to look at it.

4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and read[a] the scroll, or to look at it. 5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose[b] its seven seals.”

6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth. 7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.

8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:

“You are worthy to take the scroll,
And to open its seals;
For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
10 And have made us kings and priests to our God;
And we shall reign on the earth.”

Here we see the Lord Jesus Christ and Jehovah God receiving worship from all creation. So clearly Jesus is worthy of being worshipped which refutes the False Watchtower Bible and Tract Society teaching that only Jehovah can be worshipped. Verse 11 shows Jehoshua receiving worship by the angels and elders in Heaven. Verse 14 shows all creation worshipping Jehoshua and Jehovah. Anyone that teaches that our Lord Jesus Christ is not to be worshipped is teaching heresy. Scripture clearly teaches that both the Father Jehovah and The Son Jehoshua are both to be worshipped as separate distinct individual persons (John 17:3)

Revelation 5:11-14 (NKJV)

11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,12 saying with a loud voice:

“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:

“Blessing and honor and glory and power
Be to Him who sits on the throne,
And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.

Further scriptural proof in verse 10, that Salvation is found in the Father Jehovah God and The Son Jehoshua Messiah. This corresponds to John 17:3. Eternal life is in these two seperate distinct individual persons of The GodHead. Believe scripture over the councils and creeds of men I.e. Nicene,  Athanasian, Constantinople etc.

Revelation 7:9-12 (KJV)

9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.

11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,

12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

"In the Council of Rimini, 359 A.D...nearly all bishops present, 400 in number" decided "to sign a semi-Arian creed" (Kramer H.B. L. The Book of Destiny.  Nihil Obstat: J.S. Considine, O.P., Censor Deputatus.  Imprimatur: +Joseph M. Mueller, Bishop of Sioux City, Iowa, January 26, 1956.  Reprint TAN Books, Rockford (IL), p. 165).

Hence, the idea that the majority in the 4th century were semi-Arian has a lot of support in Greco-Roman writings. Also, the fact that 400 bishops who met in Rimini, Italy in 359 A.D. signed a "semi-Arian creed" indicates that the majority of leaders in West accepted some type of non-trinitarian position on the Godhead.

The Council of Rimini was also called the Council of Ariminum.  Notice what Sozomen reported about it:

The partisans of Acacius remained some time at Constantinople, and invited thither several bishops of Bithynia, among whom were Maris, bishop of Chalcedon, and Ulfilas, bishop of the Goths. These prelates having assembled together, in number about fifty, they confirmed the formulary read at the council of Ariminum, adding this provision, that the terms "substance" and "hypostasis" should never again be used in reference to God. They also declared that all other formularies set forth in times past, as likewise those that might be compiled at any future period, should be condemned (Sozomen, Book IV, Chapter 24 ).

Socrates Scholasticus reported the following as part of the declaration of that Council:

We believe in one God the Father Almighty…And in…Christ our Lord and God…

But since the term ούσία, substance or essence which was used by the fathers in a very simple and intelligible sense, but not being understood by the people, has been a cause of offense, we have thought proper to reject it, as it is not contained even in the sacred writings; and that no mention of it should be made in future, inasmuch as the holy Scriptures have nowhere mentioned the substance of the Father and of the Son. Nor ought the "subsistence" of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit to be even named. But we affirm that the Son is like the Father, in such a manner as the sacred Scriptures declare and teach (Socrates Scholasticus, Book II, Chapter 41, pp. 221,222).

The same Council also taught this about the Holy Spirit:

We believe also in the Holy Spirit…as the Comforter; according to how it is written, the Spirit of truth (Ibid, p. 221).

So while Semi-Arians believe that there is a Holy Spirit, they tend to limit their beliefs to what the Bible says about it—they do not declare it to be the third co-equal person."

The Trinitarian challenge!

I have a challenge for Trinitarians out there. I challenge you to present me with one scripture that:

1) Calls the Holy Spirit God or uses the phrase "God The Holy Spirit"
2) Shows that anyone in either the old testament or new testament worshipped the Holy Spirit.
3) That anyone prayed to the Holy Spirit
4) That God is called a Trinity or Triune or even that those words are in the Bible.
5) That describes the Son Jesus Christ and the Father Jehovah as being the same substance thereby being the same person.
6) That God is one substance divided into three modes/personalities.
7) Jesus explains His Father as a Trinity
8) That uses the term co equal in refrence to the Holy Spirit
9) Shows the Holy Spirit sitting on a throne the way the Son and Father are.

The 10 Commandments

The blessed 10 Commandments of Jehovah! Those who teach men to break the least of these commandments will be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. 

Matthew 5:19 (KJV)

"Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven."

Exodus 20 (ASV)

1 And God spake all these words, saying,

2 I am Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4 Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

5 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them, for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me,

6 and showing lovingkindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

7 Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work;

10 but the seventh day is a sabbath unto Jehovah thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11 for in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore Jehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12 Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee.

13 Thou shalt not kill.

14 Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15 Thou shalt not steal.

16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

17 Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's.

18 And all the people perceived the thunderings, and the lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking: and when the people saw it, they trembled, and stood afar off.

19 And they said unto Moses, Speak thou with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.

20 And Moses said unto the people, Fear not: for God is come to prove you, and that his fear may be before you, that ye sin not.

21 And the people stood afar off, and Moses drew near unto the thick darkness where God was.

22 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Thus thou shalt say unto the children of Israel, Ye yourselves have seen that I have talked with you from heaven.

23 Ye shall not make other gods with me; gods of silver, or gods of gold, ye shall not make unto you.

24 An altar of earth thou shalt make unto me, and shalt sacrifice thereon thy burnt-offerings, and thy peace-offerings, thy sheep, and thine oxen: in every place where I record my name I will come unto thee and I will bless thee.

25 And if thou make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stones; for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it.



26 Neither shalt thou go up by steps unto mine altar, that thy nakedness be not uncovered thereon.

State of the Dead!

Verse 29 and 34 are crystal-clear that David, a man after Jehovah's own heart is not in Heaven but rather in the grave. This goes against the false immortal soul doctrine of the Catholic Church which many protestants and evangelicals hold to. David's hope was that his soul (I.e. a body due to the meaning of soul being "a living being" hence a dead being means "a dead soul") would not be left in the grave making refrence to a future ressurection of the dead. This was always the hope of the Old covenant Saints and also of the early assemblies of Messiah (See 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18). Also, read John 11:23-24 where Martha converses with Jehoshua regarding her hope and comfort that her brother Lazarus would rise at the last day. Notice that her comfort wasn't in her brother's soul floating around in Heaven as a spirit creature. Jehoshua did not correct Martha's understanding of the state of the dead. This scripture also clearly refutes the false pre trib rapture doctrine as it clearly states that the resurrection of the Saints is at the last day. The teaching that our souls live apart from our body after we die is a pagan teaching that originates from Ancient Babylon. This immortal soul doctrine carried on through various pagan cultures such as Egypt,  Greece and the Roman sun cults. The Catholic Church then adopted this pagan teaching of the immortal soul in order to control the assembly of believers in Messiah. They clearly ignored 1 Timothy 6:16, which states that only The Son conferred upon by His Father has immortality. The Son dwells in the light which no man can see. That light is the Father Jehovah and every visible appearing of Jehovah in the old testament was actually the pre existent Messiah. Only The Father Jehovah has innate immortality and he confers this upon His Son Jehoshua who dwells im His Father's light. We as believers have conditional immortality if we receive eternal life by calling on the name of the Father Jehovah and The Son Jehoshua. Unbelievers who die In their unbelief do not receive the gift of eternal life or conditional immortality hence they perish (Die) at the second death in the Lake of Fire right here on earth after the second resurrection.

ACTS 2:22-36 (RSB)

2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Yahshua of Nazareth, a man approved of Elohim among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which Elohim did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:

2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of Elohim, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have impaled and slain:

2:24 Whom Yahweh hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

2:25 For David speaketh concerning him, I FORESAW YAHWEH ALWAYS BEFORE MY FACE, FOR HE IS ON MY RIGHT HAND, THAT I SHOULD NOT BE MOVED:

2:26 THEREFORE DID MY HEART REJOICE, AND MY TONGUE WAS GLAD; MOREOVER ALSO MY FLESH SHALL REST IN HOPE:

2:27 BECAUSE THOU WILT NOT LEAVE MY SOUL IN THE GRAVE, NEITHER WILT THOU SUFFER THINE HOLY ONE TO SEE CORRUPTION.

2:28 THOU HAST MADE KNOWN TO ME THE WAYS OF LIFE; THOU SHALT MAKE ME FULL OF JOY WITH THY COUNTENANCE.

2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.

2:30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that Elohim had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Messiah to sit on his throne;

2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Messiah, that his soul was not left in the grave, neither his flesh did see corruption.

2:32 This Yahshua hath Yahweh raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.

2:33 Therefore being by the right hand of Elohim exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.

2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: BUT HE SAITH HIMSELF, YAHWEH SAID UNTO MY MASTER, SIT THOU ON MY RIGHT HAND,

2:35 UNTIL I MAKE THY FOES THY FOOTSTOOL.

2:36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that Elohim hath made that same Yahshua, whom ye have impaled, both Master and Messiah.

1 Timothy 6:16 (KJV)

16 Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

John 11:23-24. (RSB)

11:23 Jehoshua saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.

11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

John 3:16 (RSB)

3:16 For Jehovah so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

The Key to eternal life!

The key to eternal life is found right here and in no other formula or doctrinal creed!

John 17:3 (ASV)

3 And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God (Jehovah), and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ.

Who are the True Children of God?

Exposing the false teaching that today's Geo-Political Nation of Israel is a fufillment of Prophecy!  Those who are waiting for a third Temple to be built in Jerusalem may be terribly disappointed. Jehoshua clearly said that Elohim no longer dwells in Temple's made with man's hands. We are the Temple of the living Elohim. There is no more need for animal sacrifices, which is supposed to be a big part of the third Temple. Jehoshua Messiah was the once and for all ransom sacrifice on the stake. If there does happen to be a building of the Third Temple, it will have nothing to do with Jehovah and everything to do with Satan and the Antimessiah. The Son of Jehovah (Jehoshua Messiah) clearly stated that His Father no longer dwells in brick and mortar Temple's. Don't be deceived,  Jehovah's children having nothing to do with the flesh and ancestry but rather those who are circumcised of the heart by believing in His literal Son, Jehoshua "The Salvation of Jehovah"!

Romans 2:28-29  (KJV)

28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

This is a crystal clear scripture regarding Jehovah knowing no man after the flesh. The  dispensationalists continue to walk in blindness by not submitting to plain teaching that true Jews are believers in the Messiah not those born into being Jew's of the flesh.

Galatians 3:28-29 (KJV)

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Believers in Jehoshua Messiah are of Abraham's seed, not unbelieving Jewish people. In Jehovah's Kingdom, there is no fleshly Greek of Jew but rather simply a believer in His Son Jehoshua. 

Colossians 3:11-12 KJV

11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Again, plain scripture that contradicts the false dispensationalist teaching that Jehovah's children are of the flesh regarding ancestry. His children are simply those who believe in His Son-Jehoshua, nothing more nothing less. Notice verse 12, where it says the elect of God are those in Messiah not physical Jew's. That time has passed when Jehoshua died on the stake for all men/women. Jehovah no longer regards man after the flesh but simply if they believe in His Som as their Saviour. Don't let these dispensationalists take away your inheritance by telling you that you are not His elect or His child. They are worshipping a Nationalistic God rather than the Creator who created all men/women in His image and gave us the right to be son's and daughter's when His Son Jehoshua was impaled at the Stake. 

Ephesians 2:1-5 (KJV)

2 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;

2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,

5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)

Unbelieving Jews according to the above scripture are children of disobedience not children of Elohim. Anyone not in Jehoshua is a child of disobedience not a child of Elohim. By grace we are saved not by ethnicity/nationality.

Acts 17:24 ASV

24 The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

Clear as day, no human Temple can ever be made for Jehovah as he will not dwell in it. Don't get caught up in this rebuilding a Third Temple in Jerusalem deception.

Acts 7:48-51 ASV

48 Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in houses made with hands; as saith the prophet,

49 The heaven is my throne, And the earth the footstool of my feet: What manner of house will ye build me? saith the Lord: Or what is the place of my rest?

50 Did not my hand make all these things?

51 Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Spirit: as your fathers did, so do ye.

Again, clear scripture that Jehovah no longer dwells in Temple's made with hands yet the proponents of a rebuilt Temple in Jerusalem insist this must take place to fufill prophecy and to serve God and also reinstate, pointless animal sacrifices. Notice verse 51, where it talks about those who are stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart. These were the Israelites who put so much emphasis on worshipping Jehovah by earthly means such as man made temples and objects not realizing that He made all things on Heaven and earth. Today, this scripture applies to the dispensationalists and the Christian Zionist movement who are promoting and pining for a rebuilt temple in Jerusalem. They don't realize that a rebuilt temple is utterly needlesa as Jehovah and Jehoshua dwell, im us as believers as we are the Temple of the living Elohim.

The Unholy Alliance!

Here, we have the Unholy alliance of the Sea beast (papacy) of Revelation 13 and the earth beast (America). Many believers may look at Ronald Reagan as a Christian President little knowing his wife Nancy was a spiritist. Notice in the title of the Time Magazine article it said "conspire". The Little Horn (papacy) of Daniel is described as one who conspires. The False Prophet (America) causes the world to worship the beast. Fast forward to 2015 and again the American president is conspiring with Papal Rome to enforce the Little Horn's decrees. This time though it will be to bring the word into worldwide socialism. The earth beast (false prophet - America) will cause the world via it's international organization (U.N.) to worship the sea beast (Antimessiah- Papacy). 

The image of the beast will be a State-Church union of America with Protestantism and Evangelicalism. Both entities will make concessions. The State will allow the Church to keep it's 501 C 3 tax exemption. The Church will soften it's stance on Homosexuality (already happening im abundance). This Image will be a copy of the Civil - Religious power that the Catholic Church has. Much of Protestantism and Evangelicalism share the same doctrines as the Catholic Church (Mystery Babylon) and this will unite them (already happening in droves). True believers in Jehovah and Jehoshua Messiah will be persecuted by the Civil-Religious union of America and Protestantism/Evangelicalism as well as by Papal Rome. The Protestants/Evangelicals and Catholics who do the persecuting will, think they are doing God's service but they will actually be a tool of Satan in bringing harm to the Remnant assembly of believers in these very last days. 

Most Christian celebrity preachers/pastors will go along with the Antimessiah and False Prophet's plans for a worldwide New World Order. TBN will play a big part in this last days delusion as they are home to many false prophets. Rick Warren, Greg Laurie, Joel Osteen,  Franklin Graham and Brian Broderson will be some of the false prophets Jehoshua warned us about in Matthew 24. Many popular worship bands will also play a part in this Apostasy of the Church (already happening) as they will hypnotize people with worldly type beats and lyrics that will have a veneer of worshipping the True and Living Elohim but will actually be giving homage to the Antimessiah and ultimately Lucifer. 

The mark of the beast has to do with how and who we worship. The Sabbath will play a big part in this as the Papacy as well as many Protestants/Evangelicals and the World Meeting of Families are pushing for a National Sunday Law that will allow non religious folk to have a family rest day and religious folk to partake of their religious services without having to work. This Sunday observance will be an homage to the Papacy and the Catholic Church who changed the solemnity of the Sabbath to the so called "Lord's day" (Sunday). Just as the seal of the Living Elohim is spiritual, so will the Mark of the Beast be (spiritual). Part of the Mark of the Beast also has to do with what God we worship. Do we worship the god of Mystery Babylon (Sun worship in it's various forms, basically all false religions as daughters of the Great Whore- Roman Catholicism) or do we worship the True Living God Jehovah and His Son Jehoshua Messiah? Who and how we worship will ultimately determine if we receive the seal of the True and Living Elohim or the Mark of the Beast!

Revelation 13 (KJV)

1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.

2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.

10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.

12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,

14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.

15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Who is Michael The Archangel?

Just when the Antimessiah thinks he has the world in his grip,  Michael the Great Prince (Jesus Christ) shall stand up to deliver his people (the assembly of believers in Jehovah and Jehoshua aka Jesus). 

Daniel 12:1 (KJV)

12 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

Michael in Hebrew is Miyka'el which means "who is like God?"

Archangel in Greek is archaggelos which means "a chief angel".

Angel in Greek is aggelos which means "a messenger".

Was not our Messiah a Chief Messenger of His Father Jehovah?  

John 12:49-50 (KJV)

49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.

50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

Is not our Messiah like God being the very image of His Father Jehovah? 

Colossians 1:13-15 (ASV)

13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

Does not our Messiah descend from Heaven with the voice of an archangel? 

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 (ASV)

13 But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that fall asleep; that ye sorrow not, even as the rest, who have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first;

17 then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

Is not our Messiah the only One aside from Jehovah who has the power to cast Lucifer out of Heaven?

Revelation 12:7-9 (KJV)

7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Did Jehoshua Messiah ever bring a reviling accusation against Satan? No He didn't! Jehoshua simply rebuked Satan. Remember, our Saviour often spoke of Himself in third person which happens in the below passage of Jude. Matthew and Luke chronicle the times Jehoshua was tempted by Lucifer in the wilderness. It's important to note that Jehoshua didn't bring a reviling accusation against Satan but just rebuked him which is what Michael The Archangel does in Jude 9.

Jude 9

"Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee."

Luke 4:6-8 (RSB)

4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

4:7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

4:8 And Yahshua answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, THOU SHALT WORSHIP YAHWEH THY ELOHIM, AND HIM ONLY SHALT THOU SERVE.

Matthew 4:8-10 (RSB)

4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

4:9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

4:10 Then saith Yahshua unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, THOU SHALT WORSHIP YAHWEH THY ELOHIM, AND HIM ONLY SHALT THOU SERVE.

Remember,  Jehoshua appeared in the Old Testament as an Angel of Jehovah. 

Genesis 16:6-13 (RSB)

16:6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thy hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.

16:7 And the angel of Yahweh found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.

16:8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.

16:9 And the angel of Yahweh said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

16:10 And the angel of Yahweh said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

16:11 And the angel of Yahweh said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because Yahweh hath heard thy affliction.

16:12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

16:13 And she called the name of Yahweh that spake unto her, Thou El seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?

Genesis 22:9-16 (RSB)

22:9 And they came to the place which Elohim had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.

22:10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.

22:11 And the angel of Yahweh called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

22:12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest Elohim, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.

22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.

22:14 And Abraham called the name of that place Yahweh Yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of Yahweh it shall be seen.

22:15 And the angel of Yahweh called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,

22:16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith Yahweh, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:

Exodus 4:1-22 (RSB)

3:1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of Elohim, even to Horeb.

3:2 And the angel of Yahweh appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.

3:3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.

3:4 And when Yahweh saw that he turned aside to see, Elohim called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

3:5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

3:6 Moreover he said, I am the Elohim of thy father, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon Elohim.

3:7 And Yahweh said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

3:8 And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

3:9 Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel is come unto me: and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them.

3:10 Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt.

3:11 And Moses said unto Elohim, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?

3:12 And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and thisshall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve Elohim upon this mountain.

3:13 And Moses said unto Elohim, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The Elohim of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them?

3:14 And Elohim said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.

3:15 And Elohim said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Yahweh Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, the Elohim of Isaac, and the Elohim of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.

3:16 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, Yahweh Elohim of your fathers, the Elohim of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you, and seenthat which is done to you in Egypt:

3:17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

3:18 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, Yahweh Elohim of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Yahweh our Elohim.

3:19 And I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand.

3:20 And I will stretch out my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof: and after that he will let you go.

3:21 And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:

3:22 But every woman shall borrow of her neighbour, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall putthem upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall spoil the Egyptians.

Acts 7:35-38 (RSB)

7:35 This Moses whom they refused, saying, WHO MADE THEE A RULER AND A JUDGE? the same did Elohim send to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel which appeared to him in the bush.

7:36 He brought them out, after that he had shewed wonders and signs in the land of Egypt, and in the Red sea, and in the wilderness forty years.

7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A PROPHET SHALL YAHWEH YOUR ELOHIM RAISE UP UNTO YOU OF YOUR BRETHREN, LIKE UNTO ME; HIM SHALL YE HEAR.

7:38 This is he, that was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:

Exodus 23:20-33 (RSB)

23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

23:21 Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not; for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.

23:22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

23:23 For mine Angel shall go before thee, and bring thee in unto the Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites: and I will cut them off.

23:24 Thou shalt not bow down to their mighty ones, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

23:25 And ye shall serve Yahweh your Elohim, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.

23:26 There shall nothing cast their young, nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.

23:27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs unto thee.

23:28 And I will send hornets before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.

23:29 I will not drive them out from before thee in one year; lest the land become desolate, and the beast of the field multiply against thee.

23:30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.

23:31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red sea even unto the sea of the Philistines, and from the desert unto the river: for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand; and thou shalt drive them out before thee.

23:32 Thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor with their mighty ones.

23:33 They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me: for if thou serve their mighty ones, it will surely be a snare unto thee.

Note verse 21 here where Jehovah says that His name is in this Angel so this obviously is our Saviour Jehoshua Messiah who's name means "The Salvation of Jehovah" hence He has His the prefix of His Father's name "Jah" as His prefix. Also, this Angel has the power to either forgive transgressions or not forgive them. We all know that only Jehovah and Jehoshua both being God have this power.

Judges 2:1-5 (RSB)

2:1 And an angel of Yahweh came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you unto the land which I sware unto your fathers; and I said, I will never break my covenant with you.

2:2 And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars: but ye have not obeyed my voice: why have ye done this?

2:3 Wherefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their mighty ones shall be a snare unto you.

2:4 And it came to pass, when the angel of Yahweh spake these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.

2:5 And they called the name of that place Bochim: and they sacrificed there unto Yahweh.

This is the same Angel as the one in Exodus 23 as the description of being the Angel that leads and follows the Israelites through the wilderness. 

Proof that the above angels mentioned was Jesus Christ is listed below im 1 Corinthians 10:1-4

1 Corinthians 10:1-4 (KJV)

10 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

2 And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

4 And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

The Rock is a metaphor for the Angel of Jehovah (Jesus Christ) that followed the Israelites in the wilderness. See below for another confirmation that the Angel of Jehovah who led the Israelites through the wilderness was our Lord and Saviour Jehoshua Messiah. So Jehoshua does manifested Himself as an Angel. The passage above in 1st Corinthians 10:1-4 confirms that the Angel of Jehovah who led and followed the Israelites from Egypt to the promised land was Jehoshua Messiah. 

Jehoshua appears as The Angel of Jehovah to Gideon.

Judges 6:11- 23 (RSB)

6:11 And there came an angel of Yahweh, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites.

6:12 And the angel of Yahweh appeared unto him, and said unto him, Yahweh is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.

6:13 And Gideon said unto him, Oh my master, if Yahweh be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not Yahweh bring us up from Egypt? but now Yahweh hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

6:14 And Yahweh looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?

6:15 And he said unto him, Oh Yahweh, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.

6:16 And Yahweh said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.

6:17 And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me.

6:18 Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto thee, and bring forth my present, and set itbefore thee. And he said, I will tarry until thou come again.

6:19 And Gideon went in, and made ready a kid, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the flesh he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out unto him under the oak, and presentedit.

6:20 And the angel of Elohim said unto him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and laythem upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.

6:21 Then the angel of Yahweh put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of Yahweh departed out of his sight.

6:22 And when Gideon perceived that he was an angel of Yahweh, Gideon said, Alas, O my Sovereign Yahweh! for because I have seen an angel of Yahweh face to face.

6:23 And Yahweh said unto him, Peace be unto thee; fear not: thou shalt not die.

Below, Joshua worships the Angel of Jehovah who ia described as the captain of the Host. Remember Michael The Archangel is also the captain of the Host that fights against Satan and his angels in Revelation 12:7. This Angel could only be Jehoshua as remember created angels are not allowed to receive worship as noted in Revelation 19:10.

Revelation 19:10 (KJV)

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

Joshua 5:13-15 (RSB)

5:13 And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?

5:14 And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of Yahweh am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my sovereign unto his servant?

5:15 And the captain of Yahweh's host said unto Joshua, Loose thy shoe from off thy foot; for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And Joshua did so.

We see clearly that this Angel received worship meaning He could only be Jehoshua the Chief Messenger (Archangel) of Jehovah. The Scriptures only mention one Archangel which we are starting to see is none other than our Lord and Saviour Jehoshua Messiah.

Back to Revelation 12:7. Michael The Archangel is described as the Captain of the Hosts of angels in Heaven, they are called His angels. He battles Satan and his angels. Jehoshua is also described as the leader of faithful angels in Revelation 19:14-16, 2 Thessalonians 1:7.

Revelation 19:14-16 (KJV)

14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.

16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, King Of Kings, And Lord Of Lords.

2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 (KJV)

7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Also, Matthew 13:41, 16:27, 24:31; 1 Peter 3:22 speak of Jehoshua and His angels. Both Jehoshua and Michael are both described as leaders of an army of faithful angels. Since nowhere in Jehovah's word does it say there are two armies of angels, we can safely conclude that Jehoshua and Michael are one and the same.

See the description here in Daniel 10, of what is believed to be the angel Gabriel needing the help of Michael The Archangel the Chief Prince to hold back the Kings of Persia (verse 13). Isn't that what we do as believers in Messiah? We call on the name of Jehoshua for help in our time of need. We don't win every battle but we are strengthened win or lose due to the Messiah coming to our aid. Remember, that Jehoshua doesn't always defeat our enemies for us (in the flesh he doesn't, but he always give us victory spiritually). In verse 21, Gabriel states that only Michael The Prince can uphold him against the Kings of Persia and Greece. Notice that Gabriel tells Daniel "your Prince". No angel is ever called our Prince. The fact that Michael is called Daniel's Prince and that Jehoshua is also called our Prince, logically concludes that Michael and Jehoshua are one and the same.

Daniel 10:12-21 (RSB)

10:12 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy Elohim, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words.

10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.

10:14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.

10:15 And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face toward the ground, and I became dumb.

10:16 And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my sovereign, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.

10:17 For how can the servant of this my sovereign talk with this my sovereign? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither is there breath left in me.

10:18 Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me,

10:19 And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace beunto thee, be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said, Let my master speak; for thou hast strengthened me.

10:20 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.

10:21 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things, but Michael your prince.

Daniel 8:11 (KJV)

11 Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of the sanctuary was cast down.

This is clearly a reference to the Little Horn (Papal Rome) exalting himself above Jehoshua who is described as being the Prince of the Host, which is a position of being the Commander of the armies of Heaven. Michael The Archangel is also described as the Commander of the Heavenly armies in Revelation 12:7.

Jacob wrestles the Angel of Jehovah!

Genesis 32:22-32 (RSB)

32:22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.

32:23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.

32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.

32:25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

32:26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

32:27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.

32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with Elohim and with men, and hast prevailed.

32:29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is itthat thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.

32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen Elohim face to face, and my life is preserved.

32:31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.

32:32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

This was no created angel as Jacob called Him Elohim and since Jehoshua in the New Covenant said that no one has seen the Father at any time save Himself,  then this must be the Messiah Himself manifested as an Angel.

John 1:18 KJV

"No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."

John 6:43-46 (KJV)

43 Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Murmur not among yourselves.

44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

45 It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.

46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.

John 5:37 KJV 

"And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath

 borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape."

My view of Michael The Archangel is the SDA version that looks at Michael The Archangel as being another title and function and name for Jehoshua Messiah. The Jehovah Witness view is different and they use it to lower the deity of Jehoshua but saying that Jehoshua is a created being. The SDA view holds to the full deity of Jehoshua as Elohim and acknowledges his pre existence.
