The Promises Yahshua Makes to Those Who Overcome
|
|||||||
To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of Yahweh.
Revelation 2:11 (Smyrna)
He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.
Revelation 2:17 (Pergamos)
To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.
Revelation 2:26-28 (Thyatira)
And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations – 'He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter's vessels' – as I also have received from My Father; and I will give him the morning star.
Revelation 3:5 (Sardis)
He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
Revelation 3:12 (Philadelphia)
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My Elohim, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My Elohim and the name of the city of My Elohim, the “Renewed” Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My Elohim. And I will write on him My new name.
Revelation 3:21-22 (Laodicea)
To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
As a testament to the above, Yahshua states, in the Book of Revelation 21:6-7
And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Aleph (Alpha) and the Tau (Omega), the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his Elohim and he shall be My son.

A New Year? (A deeper study)
|
|||||||
What is Yahweh’s Calendar?
Yahweh’s calendar is an agricultural and lunar based calendar.
1. Early ears of barley show for the wavesheaf offering in the spring in Israel.
2. The rebuilding part (first visible crescent) of the moon phases occur once
every 29 to 30 days.
Why not use the current calendar used in the world today?
The world’s calendar is strictly calculated on rules made by man.
The world’s New Year, for example, begins at the stroke of midnight.
What proof is there that Yahweh’s calendar is lunar based?
Gen 1:14-19 The 4th day of creation. Some say this proves vernal equinox it to be used based upon the Zodiac signs. See Ex 12:2; Deut 16:1.
Vernal equinox: “the time when the sun crosses the plain of the earth’s equator, making night and day of approximately equal length all over the earth…” —Webster’s Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO DO THIS FROM SCRIPTURE?
ARE THERE INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO OBSERVE THIS?
What proof is there that Yahweh’s calendar is agriculturally based?
Lev 23:10-11 Wavesheaf (first fruit offering) of barley offered during early Spring. This is done in the first month of Yahweh’s calendar, verses 4-5.
John 20:11-15 Why did Mary think Yahshua was the gardener? Some think He may have had a wavesheaf in His hand. Two cheribim, Ex 25:17-22. Similar to where Yahshua laid?
How do we know the new moon after early barley (enough for a wavesheaf) is the start of the new year?
Ex 9:31 7th plague of hail destroys Abib of barley, just before Passover occurred.
Lev 2:14 Abib (early grain).
When is the first month of Yahweh’s calendar?
Ex 12:2 This month, the first month of months.
Deut 16:1; Ex 34:18 First month of the year is called, “the month of Abib.” It’s in the Spring, not in the dead of winter. We are to observe (take note of) it!
What about Nisan?
Esther 3:7 We find the 1st month of Nisan, but this was the Babylonian name for the new month, Neh 2:1
Who’s land is it that surrounds Jerusalem?
Zech 2:12 Holy land (Yahweh’s land, Hos 9:3; Ps 85:1)

NOTE: The word Abib, used in the Bible in reference to the first moon, is a Hebrew word meaning “to be tender; green, i.e. a young ear of grain…green ears of corn” (SECB). It is this same Hebrew word which is translated “ear” in Ex. 9:31 KJV. The command in Deut. 16:1 to “observe the month of Abib...” simply means to “look/watch out for the new moon becoming visible at the time there is barley green ears of corn/grain.” “This month (moon, new moon) shall be to you the beginning of months (moons, new moons): it shall be the first month (moon, new moon) of the year to you,” Ex. 12:2. Certainly, there was barley green ears of corn/grain in Goshen where the Israelites were residing while in Egypt (Ex. 9:25, 31, 26) when Yahweh gave this instruction to Moses and Aaron. The word this, implies they were watching that new moon along with Yahweh while He gave them that command. He was actually pointing out a particular moon to them. This was in the beginning of Spring, the only time when barley green ears of corn/grain can be found. Concentrate keenly on the condition of the barley in the Middle East, specifically in Israel (Isa. 2:3; Micah 4:2), as the ear MUST be green and ALREADY containing maturing corn/grain at the time the new moon ALWAYS becoming visible at that stage of the barley makes its appearing. The coinciding of both the barley green ears of corn/grain AND the new moon, at the beginning of Spring, BIBLICALLY, is STILL the determining factor to establishing the CORRECT beginning of the year for worship purposes (Gen. 1:14; Ex. 12; Lev. 23; 25; Num. 28-29; Deut. 16:1-17; Ps. 104:19; Isa. 66:23; Col. 2:16-17) and civil life as long as the sun and the moon exists in the sight of all mankind. —By Brother Augustus Paul (Commonwealth of Dominica)

Revealing the Truth 2009
|
|||||||
It has been a good year for Revealing the Truth with some additional stations added and new topics being more interesting and lively. Other visual improvements with commercials and the refinement in the overall audio and visual have added to this years Best of 2009. It is one of the best “Best of…” we’ve ever offered.
Our duplicator was also just fixed and we trust it will not give us anymore problems for the next few years. It’s always good to get past problems that arise, while continuing to offer high quality literature and products that give honor and esteem to Yahweh, and to share the precious good news of Yahshua, His Messiah.

Updated Quick Bible Verses Online
|
|||||||
You may have, in the last few months, printed out an online page or two from the “Study Guide: Quick Bible Verses” at YAIY.org. Subjects, such as, “For the Jews only?” or even “Yahweh’s Name” are conveniently laid out for easy study and printing. If you did review them, you may want to come back to the same pages as we’ve made some changes on the comments and added some other verses to consider. The hard copy booklet, which is now ready to be sent out also has all of these new updates. This should be a welcomed insert to everyone’s Bible. A special thanks to those that volunteered their time to help with the project. May Yahweh’s word continue to go forth in a more powerful way! If you haven't contributed to the work, please consider doing so. The help is much appreciated and currently needed.
