Question

I know that you say we can not keep the Fathers feasts because they are to be done where Yahuah puts His name. I fully agree that they are to be done where He puts His name; however I feel that He has put His name in all those who believe in Messiah and keep His ways. I have listed a few scriptures that indicate this and wanted to share these with you to consider again. I hope that you are as I am and willing to understand things differently as the time comes for each of us to have the ears and eyes. I am not coming to condemn only to ask that you consider the possibility that the Father has His name in us and we can keep His feasts.  

1Jn 4:12  No one has seen Elohim at any time. If we love one another, Elohim does stay in us, and His love has been perfected in us.

 1Jn 4:13  By this we know that we stay in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit. 

Eph 3:17  that the Messiah might dwell in your hearts¹ through belief – having become rooted and grounded in love,

 1Co 6:19  Or do you not know that your body is the Dwelling Place of the Set-apart Spirit who is in you, which you have from Elohim, and you are not your own? 

Gal 2:20  “I have been impaled with Messiah, and I no longer live, but Messiah lives in me.¹ And that which I now live in the flesh I live by belief in the Son of Elohim, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 

Joh 14:23  יהושע answered him, “If anyone loves Me, he shall guard My Word. And My Father shall love him, and We shall come to him and make Our stay with him.

 I am not saying that the Father specifically lives inside of us (He may) but I am sure He stays with us and since His name is Him then would He not be with us? And if we keep to belief and obey, then wouldn’t His name be with us?

 Just wanted to give some food for thought. Shalom.

Answer

Shalom,
Thank you for your comments and the scriptures you provided. The point you make is very well understood, but this does not change the fact that according to Scripture Jerusalem is the designated place where His feasts are to be observed. Individually, you can celebrate and do whatever He permits your heart to do when, where, and how you want to do them as long as He has given you permission to do them. As long as He permits such, do not let anyone stop or prevent you from doing it. Collectively if we want YAHUAH'S results, we must do things YAHUAH'S way. According to Scripture, He has designated Jerusalem as the place to keep His feasts. I have provided some writings and scriptures to prove this point. Please go back and carefully examine the writings on keeping the feast days:

PASSOVER AND THE FEAST DAYS OF YAHUAH LESSON 1   http://yahuahseed.org/Passover%20and%20feast%20days.htm

PASSOVER AND THE FEAST OF UNLEAVENED BREAD LESSON 2  http://yahuahseed.org/Passover%20and%20feast%20of%20unleavened%20bread%202.htm

Shalom Raah,

 I have read the lessons several times over and I agree that we must do things according to Yahuah and not to man. That is what I am trying to do as well and why I am hoping to help you see the simplicity that I have seen in this matter. Before the Feast of Weeks/ Pentecost mentioned in Acts there were several places that Yahuah had put is name, 1^st in Egypt, then in the wilderness, then at Jericho, etc and the last place was Jerusalem. But this was prior to the Ruach being poured out on all man again; once this happened Yahuah dwelt with us again and His name is with us. So where 2 or 3 are gathered, there He is also. Mat 18:20  “For where two or three are gathered together in My Name, there I am in their midst.”

Also we see the example that the set apart place is no longer valid through the death of Yahusha by the veil being torn. Mat 27:51  And see, the veil of the Dwelling Place was torn in two from top to bottom, and the earth was shaken, and the rocks were split,

We also see further evidence that the remembrance of Passover was to be done for Messiah Luk 22:19  And taking bread, giving thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you, do this in remembrance of Me.”

Luk 22:20  Likewise the cup also, after supper, saying, “This cup is the renewed covenant in My blood which is shed for you.

 Why would Yahusha tell them to do Passover if they were not going to be able to do so?  I contest that His dwelling place is with us.

 I do not seek to come against you for following what you have seen, I just hope to help you with the freedom that I have in Yahuah to do according to His ways. You also state that it can be confusing as to when we should observe His feasts because of what we look for to keep His calendar. I would submit that Yahuah set the moon, stars, etc in place for us to be able to do this with no confusion. This year is an example of how many people get confused when they try to add or take away from His Torah. If we simply look to the Father and what He has setup we can find these things easy no matter where we are in the world and without any technology other than the body that we have been given by our Creator.

 I hope that you too can find the freedom and the blessings that come with keeping His feasts and Sabbaths in all the world.

Answer

Thank you for visiting our website. The service is still up an running. Because of the research I have been doing, which has caused me to come into some things I did not know or understand, I have not posted anything to the website in a while. Hopefully, HE will allow me to write on this fresh understanding in the near future. I must allow HIM to teach me to write down what HE is revealing to me. Much prayer and research is still needed.

Question

Shalom Ahki,

I have been a believer in the Messiah of Yisrael for about 20 years, and I have been teaching His Word for about 17 years.  I started out in the churches, but He began to reveal His torah to me in about 1997.  Since then, it has been quite a journey.  I agree with many things that I see on your site and I see that the Master has taken you down a similar road.  I would like to share something with you that I am wrestling with.

About Sha'ul:  I have become quite skilled over the years in explaining away the controversial statements of Sha'ul.  I have always told people that they need to know the context in which he was speaking, the people to whom he spoke, the reason why he wrote, etc., etc., etc.  I am beginning to have my doubts about Sha'ul.  I am beginning to find that he did not teach the same things ( especially regarding salvation ) than the Master Yahusha.

There are more than 1 billion people on this earth that are deceived into believing that they are following the true Messiah, they refuse to follow His Words because of their perception of what Sha'ul says.  My question at this point is:  Are all of these people deceived because of a mere misunderstanding of Sha'ul's letters, or was there something wrong with what he taught?  I know all about II Kepha 3, and I have used that for years to defend Sha'ul, but I have recently come across a document called the Clementine Homilies that speak of a conflict between Kepha and Sha'ul that we don't hear about in our standard "bibles".  Even the letter to the Galatians hints at a conflict between Sha'ul and the apostles at Yerushalayim.

Where do you stand on this issue?  Have you ever had doubts about Sha'ul?  What are your thoughts?


Looking forward to your reply.

Answer

Shalam,
It is good to here from you. You are on the right track and are heading in the right direction. There was a time when the ancient Hebrew was written without vowel points. I find the vowels points to be lies and very deceptive in the true pronunciation/ vocalization of the Hebrew. Remember by omitting the vowels points, many times you will come up with a totally different word with a different meaning. Here is a good example, there are four places in scripture where the name Jeshurun is revealed (Deuteronomy 32:15, 33:5, 33:26 and Isaiah 44:2). This name, Jeshurun, should be pronounced Yasharuwn without the vowel points. By definition, Jeshurun/ Yasharuwn is a symbolic name for Israel describing her ideal character- the upright one. This word comes from a primitive root word yashar, which means to be right, to be straight, to be upright, to be just; which describes the identity of the people of YAHUAH much better than the word Israel which means YAHUAH prevails, and to contend with or be contentious. You will find the identical letters in the word yashar as you do in the Isra(el) without the vowel points. I prefer not pronouncing YAHUAH'S people as Yashar'al as you mentioned simply because the (-al) / (-el) any you way you look at it refers to the (-ale), which by definition means god or gods, god like. We do not want to attach the word god to YAHUAH or HIS people. So, I pronounce it Yashar'YAH, which means the upright ones of YAHUAH. This is who we are and who we aspire to be and describes our ideal character. Research these words, and you shall see. May YAHUAH barak you in your research to know the truth.

Comment

Everyone who takes the NAME of YAHUWAH in vain will be punished. Every tare/fallen one will be gathered up and burnt in the fire. You should KNOW that the NAME of YAHUWAH only begotten Son, IS Yahuwshuwa ( Yahushua ) NOT " Yahusha" The masorites did not want the NAME spoken so they changed it with vowel points. Yahuwshuwa ( Yahuwshua ) is mentioned twice in the texts. Narrow is the way that leads unto life and few be that find it. "Yahusha" means to BLOT out HIS NAME! Yahuwshuwa means YAHUWAH is SALVATION! How can one have one correct NAME and the other false? and say they are of the FATHER? For you cannot know any of this unless you are first called to "HEAR" by the FATHER, YAHUWAH, and one can not get into the Kingdom with a BELIEF in Yahuwshuwa ( Yahushua ) NAME. Ppl must remember that this is a spiritual battle, and we are dealing with fallen ones. Where would you go first if you were trying to corrupt ppl? Let's see if this gets posted.

 

Answer

It is impossible for the Son's name to be or be pronounced YAHUWSHUWA (Yahuwshua). It is because of the corrupt vowel pointings that you would attempt to pronounce it this way. I agree that the Masonites did not want the name pronounced, so they changed it with vowel points. The vowel points should not be there and there is no need for them to be there in the pronunciation of both the Father and the Son's names. There was a time when the ancient Hebrew writing was written without vowel pointings period, and there was no trouble pronouncing the Father or the Son's names or any name for that matter. If you can read and understand Ibriy (Hebrew), we know that the first part of the name, YAHU, refers to YAHUAH and those that are called by HIS name. The word shuwa (shua), means to cry, to cry out, to cry aloud, hallo, which is a transitive verb of hollo meaning to utter loudly, holler, cry, bawl, to bawling, crying, bellowing. This definition is not and does not describe any attributes of the Creator or HIS Son. From this definition the name that you use for the Son, Yahuwshua, can very well mean to blot out His name because HIS name and the meaning of HIS name is blotted out if you choose to refer to the Son by this name. On the other hand if you research the name YAHUSHA, you will find it to mean without a doubt YAHUAH is salvation or YAHUAH salvation. Do the research and see for yourself. I appreciate the comment, but you must study deeper. Remove the corrupt vowel points and always look at the primitive root for in it is understanding and the pronunciation of the truth. I do post this for you and for people that are like you. Again, STUDY DEEPER.

Question

Do you welcome white people to your web -site and to your assembly?

I have been slowly been untangling the web of deceite that Ha Satan and his minions
have used to blind almost the whole world to the truth! It has been a daunting task and progress has been slow.I happened upon your site today and noticed that you have discovered all of the things my research has uncovered and more. It would have been easier for you and I If we had not been exposed (however well meaning our teachers may have been) and conditioned to those untruths first. I thank Yahuah for your site.

Shlom,

Answer

Shalom My Brother,
First, I want to thank you for visiting the website, and the answer to your question do we welcome white people to the our web site and assembly is yes we do. Two of my closest friends are white, and they are two of my most faithful and loyal supporters. They have also helped me to create the website and a lot of the research that is on it is a result of the research they did on my behalf. The truth is the truth, and we thank YAHUAH for opening our eyes to it regardless of race or the color of our skin. YAHUAH is the revealer of truths. When I was walking in Christianity, I had many Caucasian friends and members of the assembly. But as you might already know when such truth is revealed to you and you began to declare these truths, it brings about a separation. I pray that YAHUAH continue to establish both of us in His truths. Again, thank you for visiting our website and for writing. May the shalom of YAHUAH rest upon you.

Question

Pilate asked Yeshua, What is truth? My question is almost similar,
but what I would like to know since, I believe that you are a man sent
from Elohim. What is the true name of the creator? I have read and
researched information on the sacred name, and there are many
different opinions on what the name should be or is. I know that you
use the name Yahuah and I find no fault at all with that. I did read
some information once that Yahuah is greek, whether this is true or
not I am not sure. Some use Yahuwah, Yahveh, Yehovah, and the most
popular of them all is Yahweh which is generally accepted by scholars.
So the question I have is this. How do you know what is the true
sacred name, and how did YOU find out what was the true sacred name?
May Elohim bless you and keep you forever.

Answer

Shalom,
One of the greatest deceptions in understanding the pronunciation of the Creator's name is understanding the w. I believe that if you would understand the placement of the w and what it represents then the mystery of the pronunciation of His name would be solved. Do a study on the origin of the u,v, and w and how and if they are related to the Hebraic language. Pay close attention to the double u as two u's put together (uu UU). Also, the letter "w" as two v's put together (vv VV) and what sound did these letters give/make in the vernacular (language) in which they were created. For YAHUAH is the Ab's name. It is not Greek. Also, notice that the Hebraic words that end in (-eh) comes from the primitive root that ends in (-ah). Also, please read "Yahuah Brings Biyn (Understanding) to His People" under the Pastor's Desk section of this website: http://www.yahuahseed.org/ May YAHUAH barak (bless) you in your study.

Raah Brown
 

Question

Shalom Raah Brown,

Many times I hear certain phrases from people that I think should not be said to Believers. One, I am sure you have heard, is "God Bless You." How do you respond to such a blessing Raah Brown?

When someone sneezes another says, "Bless You." Does Yahuah give us the authority to do this? If you sneeze and someone says that to you, What do you say? Thank you, which I so often hear or say nothing.

I understand that we should not participate in Yah's Feasts outside of the place where He places His Name (Yerushalayim) but what about the Set-Apart days such as:

Rosh Ha Shanah and
Yom Kippur

May Yahuah continue to bless you, your family and congregation

Answer

Shalom,
When someone says to me, "May God Bless You" or "God Bless You," what I can hear and receive is "May YAH Barak You" or "YAH Barak You" for they do not know or understand the pronunciation of YAHUAH'S name. I always receive the blessing of YAH no matter how it comes. The key words here is receiving the blessing of YAH, for I am/ we are barak (bless) of YAH.

When a family member in YAHUAH sneezes, I use the term barak. I teach my children to say barak to me when I sneeze. Please read II Melakim (II Kings) 4:8-37. Sneezing is a good sign that you have chayah (meaning to have life) in you for a dead man cannot sneeze; therefore he has no chayah (life) in him. If you choose not to respond that is your preference, it is not held against you.

The Yom Kippur, which is in the English vernacular The Day of Atonement. It is a feast celebration of YAHUAH, which cannot be observed outside of Yruwshalaim (Jereusalem). Please read carefully Wayyiqra (Leviticus) 23:26-32. The Rosh Hashana in our English vernacular is The First of the Year. There are some nationalities that observe the first of the year. There is no where in scripture that YAHUAH told us to observe the first day of the year or the first of the year. Please read Shemoth (Exodus) 12:1-6. So it was not the first of the year YAHUAH told us to observe, but He said to prepare on the tenth day to observe the fourteenth day of the first month of the year. May the shalom of YAHUAH yanach upon you and your family.

Question

Shalom Raah (Pastor) Brown: We  both want to thank you so much for having put us on the right track shortly after our Father introduced us to His Name and to YAHUSHA's Name. As you probably already know, we were both called out of traditional christianity. We are seniors who live in a mobile home in SW Florida. We have no family in this area and, now, we don't even see the people we used to fellowship with (prior to coming out of christianity). We are STRONGLY committed to YAH and have even immersed each other in the Name of YAHUSHA Ha'Mashiach. Today, however, our road has led us back to you. We NEED YOUR HELP with this Raab Brown and we trust that YAH will give you the ability to make your answer CLEAR to us. We need you to explain the ONEness of YAH to us. Up to now we have believed that although He is ONE that He has three distinct personalities, that the Father only should be worshipped (as YAHUSHA indicated when He pointed the disciples to the Father in prayer), that the Son is our Savior and Messiah, and that the Ruach HaKodesh is our Comforter, our Teacher, the Spirit of TRUTH who resides in and seals YAH's children. We have run into some information claiming that the Father, the Son and the Set Apart Spirit are ONE without distinction, that the Father, YAHUAH, is the Son and the Set Apart Spirit. WE NEED YOUR HELP. In YAHUAH's Name please enable us to find the THE TRUTH. We know that the Ruach HaKodesh wants us to find HIS TRUTH. We remain His humble servants. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Raab Brown. May YAH richly bless you and protect you and your congregation during these last days.

Answer
Shalom,
Please forgive me for just now replying to your e-mail. It is good to here from you all. I appreciate what YAHUAH is doing with both of you and in your lives. Please do not be disturbed concerning the oneness of YAHUAH. As you study scripture and search the internet, you will find that there are many that would not say the same things exactly as you say it but it would lead to the same conclusion. I can bring out from scripture both point of views with strong evidence, but we should not break down here because each point of view will lead you to the same conclusion. And that is YAHUAH alone is worthy to be praised. In this particular matter, it would be wise that you would follow the conviction that YAHUAH give to you both concerning this matter because in both conclusions it points directly to YAHUAH. I hope my remarks will bring YAH'S peace and wisdom to you both. Be not deceived or confused, YAH will continue to bring understanding to you with strong conviction as you study and obey His word.

Question

I am currently rewriting God's enitre Word inserting Yahweh's name where it belongs and using Strongs Concordance for the word actions. However, I am curious why you don't use the word 'el' as in YIsra'el. I do know that el was a Hittite, Phoenician, and Kna'aniy god with his son being baal. However, I notice that you quite often use "Yah". Why and baised upon what facts do you do this? I am in agreement with you however before I change the text of the first four books that I have done, I need some solid evidence that it should be Yah instead of 'el, 'ayil or elohiym in the original text prior to the Babylonian captavity.

Always trying to serve HIm

Answer

Shalom,
I apologize for just now taking the time to write this e-mail, but I thank you for visiting the website. What you know already concerning the word el is enough not to put the title el on YAHUAH or YAHUAH'S people. As you already know, the word el, is the definition for god; whether it be capital g-o-d or lower case g-o-d. It doesn't matter because it still refers to gods, men,deamons, devils,images, things in nature, etc. It has been indicated by man in scripture that YAHUAH referred to Himself as an el (elohim, god). Despite what scripture indicates, this cannot be true. YAHUAH never called Himself an el (elohim,god), but He is declared to be above all el (elohim, gods). In places where scripture refer to Him as god, I believe that it was inserted by man in refernce to the name elohim. If you would do a study on the origin of the word god, you would agree with me that there is no way YAHUAH would have put this title on Himself. You asked me based on what facts did I do this and that you need solid evidence that it should be YAH instead of el. The proof that I can give to you is what the scribes have wrote concerning elohim themselves. Strong #3069 shows that the scribes used el to prevent the repetition of YAHUAH's name being pronounced. yeh-ho-vee 'A variation of H3068 (used after H136, and pronounced by Jews as H430, in order to prevent the repetition of the same sound, since they elsewhere pronounce H3068 as H136): - God. Also study all of the reference numbers that the Strong will lead you to. All the el (Strong #410) are apart of the elohim family. If you will research this out, you will find that there are some el in scripture that do refer to gods, goddess, demons, devils, and such like. These names should remain as written, el, because they are apart of the elohim family, but the names that are el in scripture that refer to YAHUAH and YAHUAH'S people should not be pronounced as elohim or be associated with the elohim family, as in Yisrael (Strong #3478). Read carefully its definitions: Yisrael from Strong #8280 --> sarah {saw-raw'} a primitive root word which means, to contend, have power, contend with, persist, exert oneself, persevere, contend with - -> And from Strong #410 --> 'el {ale} which means god, god-like one, mighty one, mighty men, men of rank, mighty heroes, angels, god, false god, (demons, imaginations), mighty things in nature, strength, power. Israel= he will rule as God; Jisrael, a symbolical name of Jacob; also (typically) of his posterity: - Israel. 1) the second name for Jacob given to him by YAHUAH after his wrestling with the angel at Peniel
2) the name of the descendants and the nation of the descendants of Jacob
2a) the name of the nation until the death of Solomon and the split
2b) the name used and given to the northern kingdom consisting of the 10 tribes under Jeroboam; the southern kingdom was known as Judah
2c) the name of the nation after the return from exile
Based on this definition, I perceive that Yisrael is not the true identity of YAHUAH'S people but is a name that they adopted to give honor in tribute to the el (god) they were serving while in exile. Also as in the word Samuel meaning "His name is el," but we know that the Heavenly Father's name is not el. Instead it should be "His name is YAH" because it is referring to YAHUAH and not elohim (Ps 68:4). These are my convictions based upon what I have studied, but the people who do use Elohim I do not criticize them. I do not criticize them, but I will not use the term to refer to YAHUAH or YAHUAH'S people. This might not be what you need, but this is my explanation. I hope that the Heavenly Father blesses you in your translation of the Scripture and restoring His name to its proper place.

YAH Will Give Understanding,

Question

Shabbat shalom Raah Brown,
I just received an e-mail saying that it alright to call someone father, rabbi, teacher (leader) or master. As long as they are not desiring the praise of man.

I really don’t understand. In the scriptures Mattithyahu 23 Yahusha states that we are not to call anyone on earth our father, for example. Do we not take Yahusha at His word? Whatever statements He made are we to ignore what He said and rationalize why we can do just the opposite.

Answer

Shalom My Sister,
It is good to hear from you again, and may the shalom of YAHUAH yanach upon you concerning the matter in which I am writing unto you. In Mattithyahu 23, YAHUSHA is addressing the crowd and His taught ones concerning the Scribes and Pharisees in which the MashaYAH said set on the seat of Mosheh, which means that they were the teachers of the torah and the sacred scripture. But YAHUSHA warned the crowd and His disciples (taught ones) that because of the Scribes and Pharisees position, they should do what they say do but not as they do because they love to put heavy burdens on the shoulders of men but never lifting one finger to remove them. They love to be praised for their position as sitting in the seat of Mosheh, but they themselves do not have the heart of Mosheh. He goes on to say that they love to be called Rabbi, they love to be called Father, and they love to be called Master. YAHUSHA being aware of this was teaching His disciples that the Scribes and the Pharisees are hypocrites because they love to reign over man in telling them thus saith the torah, but they themselves did not keep the torah. YAHUSHA saw the pride that was in them concerning their position. For they love to be called Rabbi (teachers) and Master, which all describe titles of leadership but they themselves did not want to lead by example. For the Scribes and Pharisees love the respect that they receive from the people because of their position, but they did not want to lead by setting an example for the people. All teachers, spiritual fathers, and leaders that are in YAHUAH should lead not only by saying what says the commandments of YAHUAH, but by living themselves by the commandments of YAHUAH. So YAHUSHA knowing the heart of the Pharisees and Scribes and what was in them, He instructed His disciples (taught ones) that they should not be called Rabbi as the Scribes and Pharisees are called Rabbi because there is one that is your teacher; even the MashaYAH and they were all brethren. Concerning Ab (Father), He said call no one Ab (Father) as the Scribes and Pharisees love to be called Ab (Father) on earth; for one is your Ab (Father) who is YAHUAH in the shamayim (heaven). Neither call the Scribes and the Pharisees Master (leader) for there is one that is your Master (leader), who is the MashaYAH. Then He encouraged them by saying, "But the greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted" (Mattithyahu 23: 11-12). I believe that Scripture always interprets itself, but we must receive its interpretation. Man will always rationalize away something he does not understand, but we must always obey Scripture.

Shalom to You and Your Family,
Raah Brown



 

Question

what was yishmael name and what it mean some say Yah listen I dont think so

Answer

Shalom My Brother,

Yishmael= YishmaYAH {yish-ma-YAH} strong's #3458 meaning "YAHUAH will hear."
He was the son of Abraham and Sarah's Egyptain slave girl Hagar, and the progenitor of the Arabian people. His name is first mention in Bereshith (Genesis} chapter 16 by the malakYAH (angel) of YAHUAH when he found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness where she had ran away from the presence of Sarah because she dealt hardly with her. The malakYAH of YAHUAH told her to return and submit herself under the hands of Sarah and verse 10 says, "And the malakYAH of YAHUAH said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude."

11 And the malakYAH of YAHUAH said unto her, Behold, thou [art] with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name YishmaYAH; because YAHUAH hath heard thy affliction.

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.

And again in chapter 17 when Abraham pleaded for a blessing for his son YishmaYAH and YAHUAH said unto him verse 20. And as for YishmaYAH, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. So we can see from scripture they name him YishmaYAH ("YAH will hear") because YAHUAH heard the affliction of Hagar his mother (16:11) and the petition of Abraham his father (17:18,20) when YAHUAH said unto him concerning YishmaYAH " I have heard thee". So it wasn't so much YAH hearing YishmaYAH (Ishmael) as it was YAH hearing Hagar (his mother) and Abraham (his father). {Read Bereshith (Genesis) chapters 16 and 17 for more clarity}.

     I think I may have missed something.  I was reading the scripture from today's message.  In Duet 12:11 where it talks about bring the burnt offerings, tithes, your sacrifices, etc; once his people reach the land that was given to them to possess, dose this mean that I'm not suppose to give 10% of my earnings or can I give it?  I know you said a few months ago that we should give of our finances as "financial support," but I think I missed the reason why or is Duet 12:11 the reason why?  Please bring understanding to this for me.  The answer will not affect my giving, I just want to do that which is right.

Halal Yahuah,

Answer

Shalom,

You are correct, due to Debarim (Deuteronomy) 12;10-11 verse 10 But [when] ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which YAHUAH your YAHUAH giveth you to inherit, and [when] he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;


verse 11 Then there shall be a place which YAHUAH your YAHUAH shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto YAHUAH:

We do not want to establish something in this land that YAHUAH has said that should be observed in his appointed place. YAHUAH said that we can only bring these things to the place that he has chosen. Read Debraim 12: 5-6; 26-27. I appreciate your heart wanting to do that which is right because this is exactly what YAHUAH wants us to do. Just remember like we always say, "When we do things YAHUAH'S way , we get YAHUAH'S results." May YAHUAH barak you with His biyn (understanding).

Question

Hi Raah Brown,

I went to the site of Israelite Heritage which is one of the links listed on your site.

I read two of the articles, Can We Keep the Passover Outside Of Jerusalem? and Can We Keep The Passover
Outside Of Jerusalem? Part 2

Have you read these articles? If not please read them and give me your comments. Grant you I agree with some of the information, namely, many Believers differ as when and where the feasts are to be kept. The biblical verses he quotes " . . .we can only keep the feasts where Yah places His name" which He certainly does not place in America.

The Law I found in the books of Shemoth, Wayyiqra, and Debarim all state that the feasts are to be kept throughout the generations.

Yahuah moved His name from Shiloh to Jerusalem to our foreheads. Are we not the temple? Deuteronomy 16:11. Everyone is looking for a building or location.
If we are to keep His feasts, I read several places in the scriptures, that we are to keep them where He places His name. He moved His name two places.

Please help with this. I thought we were to go to Jerusalem then I found out He removed His name from there because the priests in Jerusalem corrupted themselves. Ezekiel 10:4, 18, 22-23. I Cor 3:16, Jeremiah 7:14. Revelation 22:4

If this is correct how are we to observe the feasts today? No matter which church, synagogue or group you meet with each has a different time when we are suppose to observe Yah's feasts. No one is of one accord. It is confusing but I know that Yahuah is not the Father of confusion.

Your comments are welcome. Don't forget I am still learning and am searching for the Truth!

Shalom

Answer

Shalom,

I am just getting a chance to read your e-mail. Please understand that I agree with some but, not all of the information that I have linked to The Tabernacle of Yahuah's web site. Much of the information that these sites provide can bring a lot of understanding to what I write.
No, I have not read the information on this particular topic but, I have ran across the question from a couple other sites "Should we keep the Feast Days of Yahuah or not?" I have made plans to do research from this perspective. I will write you with my comments after my research. I have been keeping the Passover and the feast days for the past three years and I have studied the feast days from the perspective of Yahuah's salvation for humanity. I am aware of the confusion that is surrounding the feast days observance. I hope after my research I can bring much needed understanding to the questions "Should, When, and Where are we to keep the feast days of Yahuah? It will be a little while before I begin my research but, I will research it soon. I will e-mail you back with my comments in the near future. May Yahuah shamar (keep), and barak, (bless) you with biyn (understanding).

Question

Shalom Raah Brown,

I have not heard from you since I wrote questions about Yahuah’s Feasts (Festivals). So I decided to send you a copy of this article just in case you have not had the time. Since these Feasts are about to come upon us I wanted your comment about these articles.

You will receive the first article with this letter and part 2 will follow.

I pray to hear from you soon. You, Raah Brown, are a busy person but I hope you will take a moment to read these articles. They come from Israelite Heritage, Obadyah Ysrayl is the author.

May Yah continue to bless you and family

Answer

Shalom,
I have just began my research concerning the feast days of YAHUAH from the perspective of Should, When, and Where are we to keep the feast days of YAHUAH. I am presently looking at every verse of Scripture where Passover and the other feasts are discussed. To answer your question, I have read the writing that comes from the Israelite Heritage, "Can We Keep the Passover Outside Jerusalem (YAHRUSHALOM) Part I and Part II" with Obadyah Ysrayl as the author. Based upon what I have seen already in my research, I concur with Obadyah Ysrayl that we cannot keep the Passover or the feasts of YAHUAH outside of the appointed place and set times of YAHUAH, which He has prescribed in Scripture. I have been convinced enough in my research so far that the congregation here at the Tabernacle of YAHUAH will not observe the 2008 Feast Days of YAHUAH so that we may research this issue even more. Please Sister understand these are my convictions, and you must look at what YAHUAH has given you and then make your decision accordingly. I will be writing soon "Should, When, and Where Are We to Keep the Feast Days of YAHUAH" and I hope that in my writing I will answer a lot of questions concerning the feast days that the people of YAHUAH may have at this time. In short, this is my answer for now, but much more clarity will come later as I continue with my research. The Feast Days are upon us, and this is what we have been lead to do here at The Tabernacle of YAHUAH. May YAHUAH barak you with understanding as you study and obey Scripture.

Comment

Raah Brown,
I am just getting around to answering your e-mail. In reading Obadiyah's articles I too, agree with scripture. Every year I try to find out who is correct in observing the feasts, when and where they are held. Everyone is different or they don't keep all or some of them (synagogue I use to attend did this). They couldn't even tell me what the Feast of Tabernacles was all about. Some of the members said, " Oh! you are going to have a lot of fun." So I had to study on my own to find out what the feasts were all about, etc. I prayed that Yah would guide me. I never became a member, but I use to attend and later found out this was not the place where Yah wanted me to go every Sabbath, so I left.

I know that our Heavenly Father is not confused so I would rather follow Him and His Word than people who have different days for Yah's celebrations and other things. Everyone should be in one accord but they are not. I agree it should be the same time and place every year. So until Abi directs me differently I will continue to follow what He says this is my conviction now. I will appreciate any information
you may find in your research

You, Raah Brown, are one of the best pastors I have found. Who is willing to research and find the Truth rather than give a person (one of Yah's sheep) a whole lot of gibberest (meaningless words) and stick with what man says and wants rather than what YAH says to do. You are a man of Truth and you will not let One of YAHUAH's sheep go astray. May Yah continue to Bless you and your family.

Shalom in Yah,
Yanach

Question

Hi pastor fredrick thank you for webpage its a blessing. So angels like gabriel should be spell gabiyah thank you

Answer

Shalom,
It is good to hear from you again. Thank you for visiting the website. You are correct, Gabriel should be Gabriy'YAH which is pronounced {gab-ree-YAH} meaning "Warrior of YAHUAH" or "MAN of YAHUAH". Remember all of the "el" (ale) which are connected /belong to YAHUAH should be "YAH." Gabriy'YAH is a mal'akYAH (angel) of YAHUAH. Again it is good to hear from you and thank you for writing. May YAHUAH barak (bless) you and your family.

Question

shalom pastor Fredrick may yahuah bless you and your family. is it ok to say haleluyah or we should say halal. but halal is the name of the aramaic gods allah. thank you

Answer

Shalom My Brother,

I like to pronounce what the people of YAHUAH pronounce, and they pronounced the Hebrew word halal (from Strong's Concordance #1984) which means praise. The word halleluyah is a hybrid (made up) word with an unknown origin. We have been taught that this word means "praise ye Yah," but this word is not Hebrew, Greek, or Aramaic. In the Hebrew, the closet spelling to halleluyah is hallezuw (from Strong's Concordance #1977) which means, this,  this one, yonder. There are some that will say the word halle means praise. Even if it did, what about (lu), which is a Hebrew word (from #3863 Strong's Concordance) meaning if, oh that, would that. So,
halleluyah traditionally speaking would mean praise if Yah or praise oh that or would that Yah. This is not right. So, I would pronounced halalYAH (praise YAHUAH) rather than halleluyah (praise if Yah).

I have not known the word halal but to be a primitive root Hebraic word that describe the praise worthiness to /of YAHUAH. So, it is not the primitive root Hebraic word halal that refers to the Aramic god but, the Aramic word 'elahh (from #426 Strong's Concordance) which corresponds to the Aramic word elowahh (from #433 Strong's Concordance) meaning god, heathen deity, false god.

And finally, the word 'allah in the Hebrew (from #427 Strong's Concordance) means [oak, terebinth/ a small turpentine tree] and is not a reference to an Aramic god. I hope all of this will make sense to you.

Yahuah Shalom,

Question

Shalom Raah Brown,
Who are Elah and elahin in Dan. 2:47? Also, should you leave the various names in the Bible that end in 'el as is or change them?

Yah bless

Answer

Shalom,
To answer your questions, the word Elah is an Aramaic word that refers to YAHUAH, and elahin is the Aramaic word for gods. This is how the scripture should read in Dani'YAH (Daniel)2:47: The king answered unto Dani'YAH, and said, Of a truth it is, that your YAHUAH is an YAHUAH of gods, and a Master of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret.

Let me explain, Elah is a Aramaic word used to describe a god, heathen deity or deities. This Aramaic word is equivalent to the Hebrew word eloah, which means a false god. Some manuscripts would like us to believe that these terms were used to describe YAHUAH. The heathen may have used this word to describe YAHUAH, but YAHUAH never referred to Himself as a god. If you would just do a research of the origin of the word god, I believe you would agree that all gods are dogs- no matter what name they are called by. Man has put YAHUAH in the El family to avoid the repetition of the use His name in Scripture. For example, look at the scripture Shemoth (Exodus)3:15
And YAHUAH said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Yisrael, YAHUAH 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.

Notice how the scribes insert elohim, which means god to avoid the repetitious use of YAHUAH'S name. This scripture should read:
And YAHUAH said moreover unto Mosheh, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of YisraYAH, YAHUAH the YAHUAH of your fathers, the YAHUAH of 'Abraham, the YAHUAH of Yitschaq, and the YAHUAH of Ya'aqob, hath sent me unto you: this [is] my name for ever, and this [is] my memorial unto all generations.

His name is YAHUAH and not elohim of the el family. YAHUAH is His name forever and a memorial unto all generations. This also answers your second question. We should not only change the el at the end of a name, but also the el at the beginning of a name. Anytime the el word is referring to YAHUAH or that which belong to YAHUAH should be translated YAH instead of el. For example, Israel are the people of YAHUAH. YAHUAH would not use the word el- god, the heathen deity, to describe His people. The word should be IsraYAH. For another example, Eliyah should be pronounced YAH-ee-YAHU, which means my YAHUAH is YAHUAH. Eliyah means my god is YAHUAH. The el, whether it be at the beginning or the end of the word, is a Hebrew word meaning god, god-like one, mighty one, mighty men, men of rank, mighty heroes, angels, god, false god, (demons, imaginations). We must translate YAH for the word beginning or ending in el that pertains to YAHUAH and anyone or anything that is pertaining to YAHUAH. Some el words do not pertain to YAHUAH but pertain to pagan gods/deities should remain as is and there are quite a few in Scripture.

May the shalom of YAHUAH continue to yanach upon you,
