- YHVH, which is pronounced as YaHVaH
or YaHWaH. In addition we will also use our Heavenly Father’s
attribute/title, which is Elohim rather than “God,” which
sadly is the name of a pagan god. In addition we also love to use the actual
and real Name of our beloved Messiah which is

this is our Saviours original Hebrew Name as given to Him at birth in
May Elohim … “fill you with the knowledge of His will, through all spiritual wisdom and understanding … that you may live a life worthy of Elohim and please Him in every way, bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of Elohim.” Colossians 1: 9-10.
Introduction:
Beloved, you will soon discover that this
study contains some amazing revelations and by the conclusion you will be
amazed with what you will have learned through the lessons contained within
this powerful and I pray, blessed study. However, along the way there will be
certain subjects that may well prove to be somewhat challenging and you might
even wish to stop reading at certain times. However, in the Father’s
Name, I recommend that you continue and allow the
Thus beloved read on until the end, for I believe,
in the blessed Name of Yahushua the Messiah, that you will be richly blessed by
the wonderful message that is contained herein!
Part One - The Book
In this study of the Word of YaHVaH Elohim we
are going to look at the heart of a very big book, the book of Yirmyahu -
Whilst in prayerful preparation for this
study, the words of Shaul of Tarsus -
“Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong. Let all that you do be done with love.” 1 Corinthians 16:13-14.
Beloved, although, I am honest with the truth, and yes I will point out that which is erroneous and wrong, but it is always done with prayer that it will lead the reader (Elohim willing) back into His truth, His Blessing and that full repentance will be the result, and that this person will become a dearly beloved brother or sister in Messiah Yahushua, one of “the “Little Flock” of the faithful in Messiah Yahushua in the Kingdom of Elohim.” HalleluYAH!
The Book
of Yirmyahu –
Yirmyahu - Jeremiah certainly fits the description as is described in the Brit Chadashah, the New Covenant - 1 Corinthians 16:13-14 - of a man who was brave, strong, for he certainly stood fast in his faith! It is important that we the faithful in Yahushua also stand fast and hold onto our “profession of faith without wavering.” Beloved, as we study Yirmyahu, we will come to realise that this strong man of Elohim is also a “prophet of hope and love.”
Should you contemplate a study of Yirmyahu -
I am well aware that Yirmyahu, the prophet
Be assured Yirmyahu - Jeremiah is such a fascinating book which contains countless wonderful revelations, that is not always realised upon a general reading, for it takes a little more than “just a basic read.” But, like everything we do in Messiah, it requires prayer and we should always ask our Father in Yahushua’s Name for discernment when we study His Word and then there can be such wonderful revelations!
Beloved, Yirmyahu it is a book that is very much needed today! In fact, as you read this book, it almost seems like reading our daily newspaper, for the events that happened so long ago are sadly happening all over again in these “the latter days.” I pray beloved that you will be richly blessed by this study!
The
Faithful
As we commence this study, it should be noted
that Yirmyahu -
We know that he came from a prominent Judean family and was the son of Neriah, and his name means the “Light of Yah” and Neriah’s father was Mahseiah meaning “Yah is a refuge.” As you can see, it is so important for us to understand that names, and often words that are used in the blessed Scriptures have important meanings for in this case it reveals the faithful origins of Baruch family tree, as he obviously came from a long and a devout family of faith for his father and grandfather are both clearly shown as men of great faith, for only those of faith would name their children with names as such, there fore we also know for a fact, that the great grandfather was also a faithful one in Elohim and out of the wonderful family line came a great man, and yes he was great in the sense that he never would have considered himself to be that, but he stood with Yirmyahu – Jeremiah regardless the circumstances and the dangers that faced them!
In the fourth year of the reign of Yehoiakim,
king of
“The word that Yirmyahu - Jeremiah the
prophet spoke to Baruch the son of Neriah, when he had written these words in a
book at the instruction of Yirmyahu - Jeremiah, in the fourth year of Yehoiakim
the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying. ‘Thus says YHVH, the Elohim of
Israel, to you. O
During the siege of
As supported by the Word, YaHVaH Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name, frequently uses two servants working together to proclaim His Word, just as it was with the Apostles and later Shaul - Paul and Timotheos - Timothy. And so it will be again during the first 1,260 days of “Great Tribulation” when the Elohim, blessed be He, will have the “Two Witnesses” speak and prophesy to a lost and wicked world!
“And he (Yahushua) called the twelve to Himself, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them power over unclean spirits.” Markus - Mark 6:7.
“And I will give power to My two witnesses and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” Revelation 11:3.
In part two we will
study, Yirmyahu -
Part Two - Yirmyahu the Man
Yirmyahu -
As we begin to look at this very rather amazing prophet, we will realise that Yirmyahu is very unique among all of the prophets in the Tanach, the Old Covenant. The fact is we know a great deal more about his life than what we know about any other prophet in the blessed Scriptures. Other prophets delivered their oracles without disclosing much about their inner-selves. On the other hand, Yirmyahu laid bare the emotional conflicts of a man who was chosen to be a spokesman of Elohim for this special time in history, for he was much needed at that time!
We know that he suffered much both physically and emotionally, we know that he spent a night in the stocks and was cast into a dungeon, and he was imprisoned on a number of occasions. He even experienced a plot against his life by the people of his very own village. He was ostracised by priests, prophets, civil authorities, as well as the majority of the population for most of his prophetic life. No wonder then that Yirmyahu bewails his fate for he certainly had no desire to be the harbinger of evil, but it was the task that was given to him and so thus he did at times lament his lot.
“Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent for interest, nor have men lent to me for interest. Every one of them curses me.” Chapter 15:10.
Yirmyahu, much like Moshe -
“For behold, I have made you this day a
fortified city and an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land,
against the kings of
YaHVaH Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name, knows the heart of those He calls into service and thus He chose one who was still a sixteen-year-old youth to be His voice, and when called he would be speaking out against the evil leaders in Jerusalem and throughout Judah!
What then is the message of Yirmyahu and also that of the prophet of Malachi? Simply this, Elohim, blessed be He, calls His people to …
“Return again unto Me and I will Return unto you.” Malachi 3:7.
He calls His people to return, to repent and to
be whole and strong in Him. Elohim, blessed be He, also speaks to us through
Yirmyahu -
“It is by the name of Yahushua the Messiah of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom Elohim raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. He is ‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:10-12.
We the faithful in Yahushua are to go out with
the boldness of Yirmyahu and “Proclaim
the Word of Elohim … in Spirit and in TRUTH,” even in the face
of danger. Friends, we must let our faith in Elohim override our flesh, for He
requires from us Faith, Love, Loyalty
and Service! Yirmyahu, as we will learn from this study, was such a man.
However, he was also “a man just
like us.” This was said of Eliyahu -
“Eliyahu -
This simply meant that Eliyahu -
Indeed Yirmyahu was YaHVaH’s man for a weak nation, a nation that was weak
spiritually and morally. Thus, Elohim sent Yirmyahu to
It was only due to
However, thank be to the Father, there were still those who remained in faith, such as Moshe’s family and of course many others!
In the days of Yirmyahu the people of
As I have already stated, many believers see “
Beloved, the Word of Elohim never fails if we
listen to those He anoints. Praise
Yirmyahu was certainly not a doom and gloom
man for throughout his book you will find so many “glimpses of
hope” and wonderful “gleams of dawn.” Friends, there are
indeed gleams of dawn, hope and above all LOVE in Yirmyahu -
It was once asked of me at a service,
“Show me where
Thus, the very fact that Yirmyahu continued to
speak the Word of Elohim, right up to the destruction of
Did you realise that
When this young man, appointed by Elohim began to speak, the famine of Elohim’s Word had finally ceased. Is it not amazing how the Almighty at times chooses young men? Sometimes older men are far too set in their ways, thus when Elohim wishes to speak, He makes a clean sweep and chooses a young man.
As we continue to ponder on Yirmyahu we must
marvel at this man’s undying faith and his endurance in His Elohim.
Yirmyahu continued to proclaim the Word of Elohim, but sadly most people,
especially the priests and prophets of the day sadly would not listen nor heed
to Elohim’s call. Year after year Yirmyahu faithfully called on the
people of
I pray beloved that we who are part of the “Little Flock” in Messiah Yahushua are as strong as this man in YaHVaH, blessed be He, and continue to go forth and share His Word of hope and salvation, even if we do not see the results of the seeds sown. The good news is however that some of the seeds that we sow will take root and they will be fruitful, for our loving Elohim is in control and He will nurture individual hearts. HalleluYAH!
“Be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Master, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Master.” 1 Corinthians 15:58.
Part Three - The Reign of Yehoiakim
We will now turn to the two chapters of
Yirmyahu -
The question arises, how many have actually read and seriously studied these two chapters? Amazingly, to date I have not found one person and that includes pastors and ministers who have been able to quote a single verse or any kind of detail contained within these wonderful chapters. And yet, I believe that they are some of the most remarkable chapters you will ever find, for within them is a massive prophetic revelation! I am sure that when you will have finished this study, you will realise how powerful these chapters really are!
There is no doubt these are very powerful
Hebraic writings and it certainly does give me a better understanding, that
will not been understood by those of the church in general due to their sad
lack of Hebrew, and although there are those who seem to know Hebrew, yet they
still do not have that deep Hebrew understanding of the Word, thus they will
never really understand its fuller and far richer meaning contained in the
Word! In addition, the three-points, which are shown at the top of the page, is
seldom used, for those who may know some Hebrew, know it having what is known
as a Greek mind! However, when I have revealed certain aspects of these
chapters, pastors, ministers and the faithful have been richly blessed by what
they just learned. Yet, parts of it are obviously common knowledge to
I can tell you that after I came into faith in
1977 and became a Messianic believer, that
Yet sadly the Book of Yirmyahu -
However, for those who are so misguided, I pray
that after this study you will remember many of the blessed and loving features
in these two wonderful chapters in the book of YaHVaH’s faithful servant
– Yirmyahu -
We will now read Chapter 25 verse 1 and then all of chapter 26.
Chapter 25 - verse 1.
“The word came to Yirmyahu -
Chapter 26 - verses 1-24.
“Early in the reign of Yehoiakim son of
The priests, the prophets and all the people
heard Yirmyahu -
Then the officials and all the people said to
the priests and the prophets, “This man should not be sentenced to death!
He has spoken to us in the name of YHVH our Elohim.” Some of the elders
of the land stepped forward and said to the entire assembly of people,
“Micah of Moresheth prophesied in the days of
Now
It may seem that these chapters may not contain many quotable quotes and that there are few remembered details for that matter. However, there are many blessed and fascinating details in these chapters, and you will find them if we only take a little prayerful time with them. But then, that is what this study is all about!
However, did you notice anything very interesting at the beginning of both chapters?” To be honest, when you read the first verse of both chapters 25 and 26, I pray that you may have noted something rather odd in relation to them. I was going to highlight them, but I wanted to see if you would find it?
Let us first look at chapter 25 verse 1;
“The Word that came to Yirmyahu
concerning all the people of
Now look at chapter 26, verse 1, and remember that this is the next chapter, but this time it reads;
“In the beginning of the reign of Yehoiakim … came this Word from YHVH.”
In other words, in the next chapter (26) it was the first year, the start of his reign! The strange fact is that these two chapters seem to have been placed the wrong way around, but are they?
Thus chapter 26: 1 states; “… in the beginning of the reign,” but chapter 25:1 says, “In the forth year of the reign.” We might ask, “Why were they placed in that order?” Could it be that the Hebrew’s (Israelites) with the guidance of Elohim knew how to write and make a particular point that had a great meaning?”
Well
let’s face it; if you take a Hebrew book,
what you think is the back cover I
have news for you, it is not, for it is
the front cover! Hebrew books commence what you would call the back. In
addition Hebrew is written from the
right to the left. You may think that this is very strange, but certainly
not if you are a Hebrew and let's face it, “if the Children of Israel, write from the
RIGHT, how can
But, what all this really means, is, that Elohim and His Hebrew thinking and thought is completely different to the Greek and Gentile minds and that is why so many scholars simply do not fully understand what Almighty is saying to the Children of Israel in so much of the Scriptures and also many things that occurred during the time our beloved Saviour was with us, for let us be completely honest, He was a Hebrew of Hebrew’s, from the House of David and He went to the Synagogues on the Sabbath’s. In addition He celebrated all the Feasts of His Father, as did His Apostles all of their lives. Therefore it is sad that the church scholars neither read nor understood the Hebrew Word, which is due to them having a Greek mind and understanding, and therefore the many errors!
Beloved,
The Med Student:
A medical student in a college learns medicine on theory. As example, he is taught to think forward. He is told about a certain germ, which causes a certain disease, which then causes certain symptoms. That is called “logical progression.”
However when he is a doctor in his own practice, do you think he diagnoses his patients in this manner. No he does not. Possibly, he has become more Hebraic in his thinking, for he has begun to think more practically. For now he begins with the symptoms and then works back to the disease and then he will detect the cause.
It is for these very reasons that these chapters were placed, or stacked if you wish, in this rather unusual way. Hebrew is a very practical language and it is not so much concerned with the theory, but with practice.
Therefore, in the Word of Elohim, especially in Yirmyahu, you will often find the effect described before the cause. The verdict is given before the evidence. This is what is happening in these chapters.
Let us briefly recap: 1. The effect is described before the cause – 2. The verdict is given before the evidence.
I wish to state again that chapter 25 deals with
a time when the situation was completely hopeless. At that stage, there was no
reversing the tragedy that was going to happen in the future, being the
invasion by
I wish I could say that chapter 25 was never
written, for that chapter is the crucial chapter in relation to the future of
Elohim is warning His people and He is saying the very same thing today, “Listen to Me. That which I say I have warned you that will be done, I will do.” Above all, I pray that those in the churches reading this will heed to the Almighty, for everyone must hear and heed to His Word, for sadly there are far too many sermon tasters out there, who hear the Word, but so sadly they just never act on what they have learned. They do not heed on the Word that Elohim speaks to them through those He has chosen, and I will tell you, it will be to your determent, unless you repent and take in His Word and do as He asks of you, no matter what! Do not let spiritual Babylon destroy your life, just because you did not heed His Word, or are lost in manmade traditionalism, which is the huge curse found in the greater dogmatic and traditional church!
At the beginning of chapter 26 we are told
that Yehoiakim had just commenced his reign of
“
“We have not obeyed the voice of YHVH
our Elohim, to walk in His Torah (Law), which He set before us by His servants
the prophets. Yes, all
Let us now turn to the message of Yirmyahu -
Part Four - The Message
Yirmyahu -
As the nation at large was living in sin
Yirmyahu boldly delivered the Word that
However, there is also a healing element in the Word of Elohim, for the Spirit of Elohim will touch and heal those who listen and heed to His Word. HalleluYAH. However, sadly those that hear and heed to the Word of Elohim is less than ½% and that includes those that will have read this study in the past or delivered as a message at somewhere, I pray that those now be reading this will be touched by the love of Elohim and heed to His Word and be changed! However, I am greatly saddened by the truth that so few have not gone on with their spiritual life, just as Israel did not hear what the Father was saying to them, and these men and women are sadly stuck in their ways of traditions, and ways of business, life style and families life all seems controlled everything, even their walk with their beloved Messiah, who laid down His life for them!
“Heavenly Father, I pray in the most
blessed Name of Messiah Yahushua that all who are reading this blessed, and yes
your loving study, will be touched by
You O YaHVaH Elohim, by your most blessed Word of truth and the teaching that
you have given in the Word regarding this wonderful prophet. I pray Father that
they all will act on Your Word as they read this study today. Please touch
their hearts Father, by the moving of the
Please Note: Before I continue, let me tell you that very soon, I will be revealing something that you will never have heard before, and that is a very powerful Word that came through the Tzefanyah – Zephaniah the prophet. Believe me, you do not want to miss this, for it contains some very powerful revelations that you will not soon forget, thus make sure that you read it very carefully, if not print it out and keep it handy as a reference!
The Word shows us that Yirmyahu faced many villainous prophets that spoke words of false comfort and assurance. And I am well aware that in these days, just as Yahushua warned us, there are those in so many “churches” who only utter words of comfort and assurance and they are working on the emotions of individuals with promises of great blessings of health and wealth with improved finances heading their way. These preachers and modern day prophets, who are completely out of step with the Elohim’s Scriptures utter continual words of comfort and assurance, just as it was in the days of Yirmyahu. The result being, they kept those that followed them, dependent on them, but above all they also keep them spiritually weak and thus they are always open to outside attack and Satan is always at the ready for these poor souls, and sadly I have seen far too many tragedies come out of those vile roller-coaster Pentecostal and other charismatic style churches with ministries that tend to be named after their leader or preachers! Now if you follow a ministry named after its pastor or its leader, be assured you are following a work that is NOT the work of the Father, but a work of the self and one that always entails obtaining money, and be assured that this work always points to the man, and not to our Messiah, although they operate on countless false miracles, and although they preach “Jesus,” you will never hear the word “repentance” in their act, and that is all it is! But, they will wear Versace Suits, Drive the most expensive cars and fly in one of their private jets around the world, whilst they stay in Presidential suites in 5 star hotels and at home live in multi million dollar homes!
Beloved in Messiah I am well aware that this
has been a tough study so far, for I have covered some hard subjects, but you
must deal with these things as we come towards these the latter days, for we
are living in an evil world, with wicked politicians, a world that now freely
accepts homosexuality and allows them to have babies and in some places even
get married. Then the greenies are even controlling some governments, such as
in
The truth is as we head towards the coming of
our beloved Saviour, you are either a
servant of Yahushua THE Messiah, or you
are not, it is simple as that. For those of the Faithful in Him, all we can ask
is be more like
A Lesson at Adelong in NSW Australia
Beloved, this is the key of what Elohim,
blessed be He, taught me during a retreat in the historic gold mining town of
“Be ready to give your all unto Me whenever I call.”
And beloved, our lives in Yahushua must not be based on “What can the Father do for me,” which seems very much the formula offered by most modern day prophets and preachers, but it should be “What I can give and do for my Master and Saviour!” Praise Him, for Yahushua the Messiah has already given us His all, when He sacrificed His life for us and shed His precious blood to redeem all who believe and repented from their sins and were immersed in water.
Beloved, Elohim’s Words are challenging
and here we will see Yirmyahu -
“Before you entered this land, you received the Torah (Law) of Elohim. Ever since entering you have had prophets of Elohim sent to remind you to keep it, but you did not. You cannot plead ignorance, you can only admit disobedience. You knew how you had to live. You had the Torah and the prophets before you came into this land, but you have not listened nor did you heed.” 26: 4 and 5 Paraphrased.
A powerful Word from
the prophet Tzefanyah – Zephaniah:
Around the same time, there was another
prophet and his name was Tzefanyah - Zephaniah. He also spoke a powerful
Word from Elohim, and said,
What a sad and a tragic statement that was,
and yes Elohim was speaking about His beloved City Jerusalem. But here it is a
city that was styled as being a “filthy,
polluted and an oppressing city.”
Did you realise that there is so much teaching
in this one verse alone, that it is simply astounding! This verse contains
three vital words, that have very important meanings that would have meant a
great deal to the Hebrews and they were shocking indeed!
The Hebrew word for “Filthy” is “Moreah.” This word is derived
from the root “Marah”
which is more correctly translated as “Rebellious.” What Zephaniah was saying, the Children of Judah
were rebellious against
The word “Polluted” in Hebrew is “
Poor
Jerusalem, the City of Peace in Zephaniah is now
called in the Word as being “the
oppressing city.” The word “The Oppressing” in the Hebrew is “
“
It is important for us to realise that the
word “
In Shemos - Exodus chapter 6 the word “
You might ask “How can this be?” The fact is beloved, to correctly understand
the word redeemed, we have to realise the following. To be redeemed is to be “covered” or “surrounded”
with a protective care. Thus when the word “
Whoever believes in Yahushua as the Messiah, and has repented of their sins have the assurance that the shed blood of the Lamb, totally “Covers,” and cleanses us from our sins. However, when this same word is used in the negative tense it represents a covering of evil. Thus, it is either a covering of good or a covering of evil as it is the case in Tzefanyah - Zephaniah. The children of Israel, living in Jerusalem had their hands “polluted,” or “stained,” - “covered” in blood, said YaHVaH Elohim through His prophet Tzefanyah - Zephaniah.
It certainly was a tragic situation for the
nation of
Part Five - Mould into Shape
We have already learned a great deal from the two chapters of Yirmyahu – Jeremiah 25 and 26, or should that be the other way around? But now Yirmyahu continues with YaHVaH’s message with a word of hope!
“If so they will hearken and turn every man from his evil ways that I may repent of the evil which I propose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.”
Yirmyahu -
It clearly states that IF “with this new king please listen and repent then YHVH our Elohim will repent.” Some have asked me in the past is it possible for Elohim to repent?” Or should I say, can Elohim change His mind?
Well let me ask you a question; “Do you believe that prayer can change things and that miracles can and have happened?” Well, I am sure that the vast majority will say yes, for indeed prayer, especially if you have prayed correctly in the Name of Yahushua, in addition, it has been clearly recorded in the Word that Messiah and His Apostles and during the past 2,000 years many healings and other miracles have occurred in His Name. Faith and prayer changes people, but did you realise that our prayer can also change Elohim’s mind?
This is a wonderful revelation for the truth
is that we can change Elohim’s mind in relation to the punishments that
He must enforce upon the sinful. Our prayers and intercession can bring the
sinful to Messiah Yahushua and then Elohim forgives them, and He will repent
and change His mind of what He would have done had they had not returned unto
faith. Some have difficulty with this notion however remember
In the prophecy of Yirmyahu - Jeremiah
“If you will listen, if
you will amend your ways and doings, if you will put things right, then
Elohim will repent, change His mind. Only then will YHVH not bring that
disaster upon you, which is on the way because of your disobedience”
Paraphrased.
We live in a glorious freedom, for we can
choose the outcome of our lives. We are free to choose, for we are not puppets
on a string being controlled. What is your choice? Life in the
“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of Elohim is eternal life in Messiah Yahushua our Master.” Romans 6: 23.
Therefore, beloved, it should be a simple decision. However it is not so for the majority as following the one and only YaHVaH Elohim and Messiah Yahushua does not come naturally, not even for christians as the vast majority are bound by the Roman pagan traditions and then there is a world who are suckers for wild and evil music that are these days combined with some of the most evil and sexual videos, movies of bloody and wicked, if not just Satanic violence and complete immorality, and then there are those suckers for the bright lights of the casinos and desiring all that glitters in the world and money, and they will do anything to get it!
Then for some “christians,” their
church does not glitter enough, thus they bring worldly glitter into it, in
order to make it, as they believe, more palatable for “lost souls to come.” Thus these
days they have what is more like a
“What fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion has light with darkness?” 2 Corinthians 6:14.
Again, “You are all the children of light and the children of the day we are not of the night, nor of darkness”.” 1 Thessalonians 5:5.
We need the warning that our Saviour gave to Yochanan – John in the book of Revelation, when speaking about that harlot church of Babylon, being Rome and sadly the protestant churches are considered as the harlot daughters, for although they did decide to get rid of certain Roman doctrines, but tragically they held onto well over 60% of the erroneous ones! Thus they are also being warned!
“Come out of her, My people, so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven.” Revelation 18:4-5.
I pray, beloved that your Ekklesia/fellowship worships in the actual Name of Messiah and is filled with things befitting Messiah Yahushua who is our bright and shinning light! Did He not clearly say “Ask it in MY (actual) Name!”
The Potter and the Clay
In
verse 3, Yirmyahu delivers the Word of Elohim,
which first speaks of their sinful past and then he warns them of the future.
Yirmyahu -
“Then I went down to the potter's house, and there he was, making something at the wheel. And the vessel that he made of clay was marred in the hand of the potter; so he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make” Yirmyahu - Jeremiah 18:3-4.
The question I wish to pose at this time is this … “Who has charge over the vessel, the potter or the clay?” We know that the potter in general represents YaHVaH our Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name!
But to answer this, let me tell you that a very long time ago I took up pottery as a hobby and made many hand built pieces. I remember well that when I took the clay and commenced to build something, for instance a tall vase, sometimes it ended up being a stubby round vase or even a bowl.
Let me explain. Just like us, clay has a free will. Its outcome is often based on a number of conditions, such as moisture and air temperature. I remember well that at times it turned into a totally different shape than I originally desired it to be. Thus, I must say, the clay can have considerable charge over the vessel, and not always the potter. And as I have already indicated we are certainly not puppets hanging on a string being controlled by our Heavenly Father, for we do make our own decisions! Indeed, Elohim, blessed be He, is the creator of the clay, but He has given us the freedom to mould into the kind of shape He desires us to be. Yet some will simply not mould to the potter’s design.
Let me give an example based on the life of a believer: A man who at the age of twenty-seven received a call to enter into ministry, but he does not take up the call and continues with his regular life as usual and remains a good and a faithful one at his fellowship. However, later in his life, now aged forty-three, he does accept a renewed call and he goes forth and shares the living Word of YaHVaH Elohim and teaches that Yahushua is THE Messiah.
Now I
will ask the question;
The Word clearly states that … “One star differs from another star
in glory.” (1 Corinthians 15:41).
“Mould into the shape I desire you to be, for then you will be beautiful, you will be perfect in Me.”
Let us shape up and be the vessel Elohim
desires us to be! Elohim so much desired to mould the children of
Tragically so many “christians” only teach about the Elohim of love, which is only one part of the character of Elohim. We must not forget that Elohim is our Father, and a father at times must lovingly punish his children with an outstretched hand.
As we think of Messiah Yahushua, the question arises,
was He just meek and mild? Beloved, believe me, He certainly was not! For as the Word clearly proves that with
Yahushua there would be no compromise whatsoever and we will remember how He
showed His anger!. Indeed, our Saviour Yahushua was certainly loving, merciful
and above all, He was always just, like His Father in heaven. But if we look at
the Word, we will find that Yahushua often spoke in a way that in the modern
way of thinking would be considered as rather harsh. Remember it was our Messiah
who said … “Woe to you
scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites … serpents, brood of vipers”
(
Yahushua even rebuked His own Apostles with
words such as … “You of
little faith” and to
“Get behind me,
Now, this statement can hardly be called as being nice or complimentary, but our Messiah, like His Father, was honest, direct, and perfect in every way! YaHVaH our Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name, is an Elohim of righteousness, love, mercy, anger, and wrath for indeed the character of our heavenly Father is the same yesterday, today and forever! Elohim is above all just, which is His Holiness. He is the Elohim of love and mercy, He is our Father in Heaven who will correct us if need be.
Some in the church, like
Beloved, we need to heed to the Word of Elohim
and those He uses to bring a Word from Him, especially during these the “Latter Days.” Yirmyahu said, “If you will not return unto Me this
house, the

No, all is well, we are quite safe.”
Again, just like in the days of
In 1543
Martin Luther circulated his
latest book entitled “Von

The front cover of
“Jews should then be placed under one roof … and set fire to their synagogues, schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever that will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them. This is to be done in honour of our Lord and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians.”
“Therefore be on your guard against the
Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a
den of devils in which sheer self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming
of God and men are practiced most maliciously and veheming his eyes on them.
Hitler quoted this book during his speeches for it gave him the authority, for if the founder of the Lutheran church as well as the founder of all Protestantism has a recipe to annihilate all the Jew’s from the face of the earth, then obviously, Hitler must be the chosen one to do it!
Noach – Noah
In the days of Noach, when he commenced to build the ark, the people would not believe the warning either, and laughed and sneered at him. Of course, they were being told of a great flood that was to come, but it had never rained, for Elohim provided the dew and moisture as required during the night and morning. The very first rain ever on this earth was the flood rains! Thus the maddening crowds cried out in unbelief …
“That mad man. He believes it is going to rain and that there is going to be a flood. A flood of rain he says. What is rain? We have never heard of it? And just look at that big boat he is building, how will he ever get it to the water?” (Paraphrased),
People simply refused to heed the warnings
that were given to them from the Almighty via the faithful Noach, but suddenly
it was too late and the rains came and it devoured them all, for finally
I ask you - are you listening NOW!
Beloved, I pray that we are listening, for it
is vital that we and the world understand this truth in relation to
Elohim’s most Sanctified Word, especially those He gave through His
prophets,
Today, so many have sadly been deceived by the
evil one. Even through their pastors, priests and teachers, all due to the
pagan god worshipping
Beloved, those who will not believe and act on the Word of YaHVaH Elohim, especially regarding the impending doom that will befall them if they do not “repent” and “return” to Elohim.
So long ago, we know that the Children of Israel were holding onto that security blanket, but YaHVaH Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name, was going to do which He had said that He would do, and He would even allow His Dwelling Place in the midst of the people, His Temple to be utterly destroyed. Why would He allow this?
The truth is as follows. The power of Elohim
is, and never was in a building, be it a temple, a cathedral, or a church, for
here on earth the power of the loving
Elohim has always been within His people. The presence of Elohim is not to
be found in a religious building or a monument. Nor in the fact, that Elohim
founded the City of
However, we have now come to a most amazing part of the study and I believe that this part will really lift you up, and it is full of blessed teaching and very different to what has preceded.
Yes beloved, we have covered so much and there has been some really heavy material so far! But IF you have reached this far, then you are about to be richly blessed!
Part Six - The Trial
According to the vast majority of priests,
prophets and the people of
We have to remember, regardless of
If you read the details of their accusations you will clearly note that they somehow managed to change what Yirmyahu had actually said, and thus they based their accusations on a fabrication, and they believed that they had a case for capital punishment, yes they would be victorious and Yirmyahu would die and they can have a feast!
Please
note: this anointed man of
But the religious leaders falsely accused this
faithful prophet and called for his death. These “religious” people
took their case before the civil authorities, being the
Could this happen Again? - YES - it did!
Now beloved, think about it, does this not remind you of another event that took place at a much later date, an event that would change the course of world history?
The truth is, what was happening to Yirmyahu - Jeremiah would so tragically happen all over again some six hundred years later as corrupt priests the Pharisees, unbelievable but true, men who were the spiritual leaders of that day, also falsely accused another blessed One who was sent by YaHVaH Elohim, being our beloved Messiah Yahushua our Saviour! Just like the priests in the days of Yirmyahu, they also took their case to the civil authority and demanded Him to be put to death!
Right here in the writings of Yirmyahu we see the prequel event, the prophetic, but it would be different and we will soon see why.
Beloved, right here in the very heart of a chapter that is not read by many in faith, and almost not at all in the greater Church we see the arrest, accusation and trial of Yirmyahu, which we now realise is a representation, a picture, a shadow of that what was going to happen to Yahushua our beloved Messiah in the future. As we ponder this, I pray that you are gaining much from this study on Yirmyahu!
The question is this: “What made the religious authorities so
fearful about the words that Yirmyahu had spoken?” The answer is
simple: “Their security.” The fact is their jobs rested on his words. This man of
sent by Elohim was not challenging the
“Kill him, what right have you to say in
the name of YHVH, that He will destroy this
The truth is friends that was not what Yirmyahu had said at all. For what he did say was “IF.”
Their twisted minds turned what was a Conditional prediction into an Absolute one. They claimed Yirmyahu had
said that, “The
No, he said nothing of the kind. What he did
say, if we carefully read the Word, “If you amend your ways you will keep it.” Why did they not place the
condition in their charge? Because they realised that Yirmyahu was not prophesising against the
Remember as they brought Yahushua our Messiah to trial, they said the same thing.
“We heard Him say, ‘I will destroy
this
Yahushua had been speaking about a person, in
this case, with “the
In this Scripture, we notice that Yirmyahu was
in court without any defence, again just like Messiah who was also not given
any defence. The accusers in both situations said the same thing, “You have heard it from his own lips, he deserves to die.” There was no doubt that Yirmyahu
had spoken to
We should also remember the time that when
Yirmyahu was first called he was just a teenager at sixteen years of age, and
he was a rather nervous young man. Now after almost nineteen years as a prophet
we see him as a strong man and a true servant of the Elohim of Avraham,
Yitzchak (
“Do to me what you feel is good and right. But I remind you, if you put me to death you will be murderers because I came to you in truth in the Name of YHVH ... Do to me what you like.”
How bold this once nervous prophet has become. Elohim, blessed be He, told Yirmyahu at the beginning of his ministry … “I will make you a fortress, I will fortify you” … and there he stands before all these evil priests, false prophets and princes saying … “do to me what you wish. However, amend your ways and doings, for that is what I said. Do not shed innocent blood, for it will be on this city.”
When the priests accused Yahushua, the civic authorities said, “This man has done nothing to deserve death.” Again history would be repeating itself, for our beloved Messiah experienced the very same thing, but with one huge difference. Yirmyahu was released, why? Because there were certain elders present who had long memories. Praise Elohim for faithful elders, yes seniors in the Body, men, and women with long memories!
A pastor said to me once “My fellowship and our pastoral team is young and it is a vibrant team.” The first error was “My fellowship.” Sorry, it is the house of Elohim, and this it is “His House!” And, I noted that in that same fellowship, the elders were slowly being pushed into the background, whilst those young leaders with their too loud music, deafening the ears and I noted some of these young men in the band had piercings all over and were covered in tattoos, which is not exactly a great message to those who come to fellowship, it was more of a “Bikies meeting!” In addition that fellowship did not teach the Word of Elohim, but rather more error and was following a certain erroneous American TV evangelist. Having taught the true Word, I left never to return! I felt sorry for that a once solid fellowship with many good seniors who held that fellowship together in the old days, had been literally chased out by their new young pastors!
Praise Elohim for older saints. May they, like this elder at the time of Yirmyahu, whose name was Ahikam stand with the faithful, reminding the people of what Elohim has done.
Ahikam was a wise man and one who dared to speak out, for he stood up and said …
“Why? Do not you remember the prophet
Micah he said exactly the same thing long ago? We did not kill him, but we
listened to him. That is why we still have the
Urijah died because of his fear, Yirmyahu on the other hand was Elohim’s strong prophet for a weak nation and he did not run, but he stood firmly by the Word that Elohim had given him.
Beloved if YHVH gives you a Word then you must speak it out boldly, no matter how difficult it is or who criticises you. If there is no criticism whatsoever, then it is most likely not a Word from Elohim, for He challenges those that do wrong and He demands a response. Those that are living outside His will, be they pastors or individuals in the Body, Elohim will challenge them if need be. Sadly in these “Latter Days:” there are far too many Urijah's around, running rather than standing with Elohim. Elohim desires His Body to be like a mighty fortress, standing on His Word!
Beloved, right in the heart of the Tanach, the
Old Covenant, in the heart of a book and two chapters that are so seldom read,
the whole story of what was going to happen to Messiah Yahushua is unfolding in
its pages. Now who is saying that
Yirmyahu -
It has also taught us, that men, priests and
the religious authorities were not operating in the will of Elohim, and that they
will turn against true and genuine men of
How can we end this chapter without thinking
of Messiah Yahushua once more? Remember how Yahushua wept over
“O Jerusalem,
Yahushua wept over the city that would neither hear, nor heed the Word of Elohim. “You did not know the time of your visitation … if you had only listened. But now I can see it is too late.” (Paraphrased).
Yirmyahu and Yahushua both wept and were tried
in the same manner. The only difference being, Yirmyahu had a faithful elder
among the people who stood up for him even at the threat of own life. Whilst
Yahushua had no one, as even His beloved
“But Yahushua kept silent. And the high
priest answered and said to Him, ‘I put you under oath by the living
Elohim: Tell us if you are the Messiah, the Son of Elohim!" Yahushua said
to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will
see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the
clouds of heaven.’ Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying,
‘He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses?
Look, now you have heard His blasphemy! What do you think?’ They answered
and said, ‘He is deserving of death.’ Then they spat in His face
and beat Him; and others struck Him with the palms of their hands.”
Mattityahu -
Part Seven - The Sequel
What did the people learn, did
It is four years later and sadly there has
been no change, no revival. Beloved, as it was then, so shall it be in these
days, for men will not learn from history, they will not learn from their past
mistakes. I will ask you, “Is the
world listening?” No, the world and our nation has not heard the Word
and believe me they will not, for the Scriptures clearly states that in the
last days “all nations will turn
against
However, praise Elohim for the faithful in Him
and for the many individuals
who are yet to be saved before Yahushua comes for his faithful. Beloved, we
must pray for there will be those individuals who will hear and be touched by
the Word, but sadly it will be not many, not even many who are still lost
in the churches that continue to practice theology that originates from
Romanism due to the input of Simon Magnus the founder of the Church of Rome who
was the first Bishop of Rome (see the link at the bottom) and the pagan sun
worshipper Constantine, who instituted festivals that contains so much
paganism, but it is so cleverly hidden with christological meanings, etc! All I
can say how clever
Believe me, the spirit of Yirmyahu -
“In the fourth year of king Yehoiakim,” said Yirmyahu when he spoke again, however this time there was not one single “IF.”
“Now it has come,” he says.
“I warned you four years ago, but you would not listen. Now I have
only one message, you WILL go into captivity, you WILL go to
This is the very first time he actually names the place, “
“Could this mean that Elohim will also
remove all the promises that He had made
with
Shaul of
“I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of Elohim for the salvation of everyone who believes … The righteous will live by faith. … The wrath of Elohim is being revealed from heaven.” Romans 1:16-18.
Is it not amazing, that we seldom, or almost NEVER hear that other part of the Scripture that is associated with the first part of his statement?
Yirmyahu said, “YHVH Elohim is angry. Four years ago I said listen. Now I say it is too late!”
Even though Elohim is patient, we must
understand there comes a point when
Yirmyahu had preached for 22 long years saying;
“Turn again to YHVH, return (repent) unto Him and all will be well. However, if you refuse to hear and heed to YHVH, disaster will befall you.”
How does the teaching relate to these days?
Sadly beloved, so many are falling away from
Elohim and Messiah due to false and liberal teaching. There is so much teaching
regarding predestination, prosperity, replacement theology and of course the
keeping of pagan feasts and the worship on the “Day of the venerable SUN” that was officially made
law by the sun worshipping
“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron … But reject profane and old wives' fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness” 1 Timothy 4:1-2 & 4:7.
Tragically, pastor’s invite modern day prophets, who just like the false prophets of Yirmyahu’s time, utter words, which simply do not line up with the Word of YaHVaH Elohim, blessed be His Sanctified Name. In the Word, beloved, we find that true prophets of Elohim are bold and they speak out. Their words will strengthen Elohim’s people and those who are seeking His truth. Thus, they will not hide under a bushel!
Prophecy is to build. However, in order to build up, it must first destroy. We ourselves had to destroy certain things in our lives before we could stand right with Yahushua! Whilst we were still in sin, we might have gone to see evil and bloodthirsty movies that provide all sorts of cheap thrills and spills, filled with death and destruction, etc., and in these day’s foul language and even hideous nudity, etc has become the norm, not just in movies but also on TV.
Those saved by the shed blood of the Lamb cannot be part of evil, or watch it on TV, nor allow their children to see this kind of evil, for it all comes from the realm of the evil one? Beloved, be wary of what you watch on TV. And parents please beware of the great evil that is to be found on those computer games, for the vast majority are based of murder and death, monsters and all things that are wicked if not simply satanic, yet I know of so many “christians who buy this rubbish as Xmas presents, thus satanic gifts for a satanic feast!
We should always remember that the Word
teaches us that we must live a pure life in Messiah Yahushua, “Not conforming yourselves to the
former lusts.” Evil movies, rock music, and pierced ears are all part
of the worldly “former lusts.” This is why the Word of Elohim, must
be first destructive then constructive. It must destroy the flesh nature. Be
Sanctified in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be Sanctified, for I am Sanctified”
1
“Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or “What fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Messiah and Belial.” 2 Corinthians 6:14-15.
Believers are to overcome the ways of the
flesh and darkness, to stand strong on the Word of Elohim and not sway to the right
nor left. Thus, we cannot use the means of the darkness to attempt to gather
others into our presence, for they will not be there for the right reason and
will not come to know the real Messiah from the Word, but one that I tend to
call the KFC or the Take a Way
Messiah said: “Hold fast what you have till I come. And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations.” Revelation 2:25-26.
That is the Good News of Yahushua, He came to
destroy the sin of the world. He came to destroy the power of the adversary.
Yahushua provides Life,
However, to those that refuse to heed, He will cut them utterly out of the Word of Promise, for “the wages of sin is death.” For those who do not know their Messiah, this is what He is saying to you.
“Come to Me, you that are with burden, REPENT of your sins and I will
forgive you and give you everlasting life. However, if you do not, there is
a disaster on the way for ‘The Great Tribulation’ will be upon
you before you know it. Come to Me now, while things are good, whilst
you still can and you will not enter that time of pain. I have warned
you!” (Paraphrased).
Elohim does not desire to pour His wrath upon men. He desires them to repent of the evil that must fall upon the world. Yes, even that the days of Tribulation may be shortened. Elohim desires to change things for the better. It is our duty to be prayerful and active in His service in these “Latter Days!” Our heavenly Father is near unto all that call upon Him in truth. He will preserve all that love Him, but the wicked He will destroy.
This world is to see a time of great tragedy soon, but the fact is they have been warned. It will be upon their heads! Remember, Elohim said what He meant and meant what He said!
I have heard it said that it is the responsibility of teachers in the Body to continually uplift up the faithful in Messiah Yahushua, and we do this beloved by exploring and teaching the treasures that the Almighty has given us through His Sanctified Word! He allows the Sanctified Spirit to open the Word in such a way that the beauty of it lifts us closer and closer to Him, His glorious Name be praised forevermore!
And yet, even in the Word we have studied
here, which could be called somewhat negative in tone, especially to those to
whom it was spoken to, yet we witnessed the great love of Elohim who gave
Some in the body will accuse those that speak
out against the new doctrines and fads, to be negative. But then again they
must also accuse our blessed Messiah Yahushua of being negative when he spoke
out against the Sanhedrin and the Pharisees. They were the priests and teachers
of that day. Yahushua also retorted his own disciples with words like, “Ye of little faith” and
even to
Beloved, Yahushua was no respecter of person, He reprimanded His own. He did this sternly, but with love and according to the Word. He did this in order to bring them back where they should be in Elohim.
Again, in a portion of the Word, which is not
read much, we have discovered a mighty message. Be like Yirmyahu, be a follower
of Yahushua in a real way. Let us “hold
fast to the profession of our faith without wavering” for so many
things round about us will try us and the adversary,
Today there is far too much sentimentality and emotionalism in the “churches.” I certainly know about the Elohim of love, but I also know that Elohim is angry with all who are disobedient. I am emotional when I think of Yahushua our Saviour, what He has done for us, for He gave His life in order that you and I might have life!
I stated earlier that there are pastors and
teachers who know a great deal about the truth, especially regarding the pagan
day of worship related to SUNday,
and “Easter” named after the goddess “
Thus, I asked one pastor, “Why then do
you not tell your congregation the truth, for you do know it, as you tell me
you know the Word and you have the truth.” But the answer has always been
in a similar vain, although in different terms but they all come down to these
words, “I will lose my job and I
cannot do anything else, this is what I am trained to do.” And these
same men continue to teach lies, tragic and worse still they must know how they
will they be dealt with, but, I will leave that in His hands!
Part Eight - Conclusion
This study could be summarised in just a few words. In fact, if we simply read chapter 25 and I stated the following, it would have covered this entire study.
“Your faith will never rise above the level of your confession.”
In other words, if you have a witness of lips and it does not measure up to the witness of your life, you might as well forget the witness of lips!
The witness of your life will make the witness of your lips effective, for there must be “fruits” in your life!
How much are you willing to give of yourself unto Elohim? Fifty percent? I pray it will be one hundred percent! Will we be like Yirmyahu and be able to say …
“Do as you will, kill me if you have to, but I am going to proclaim the truth of Elohim!”
That beloved is one hundred percent faith! The faithful in Yahushua need a strong faith, one that will stand wholly upon the Word of Elohim.
However, sadly in reality it is not always like that when it comes to the churches, for although they are being filled because of their “great entertainment,” offering puffed up messages and false teachings of predestination, prosperity, the power of positive thinking and all that new age love’ism. These are all things that feed the self. And that is sad, but there are other options!
There are those around the world who are of the “Little Flock” of the faithful, yes they are but a few here and a few there, for we know what Yahushua said sadly, that the “Gate is narrow,” however, beloved we would know in our hearts that there is room for many more! We are a well-balanced Body in Messiah, standing wholly on Him who is “our Rock and our sure foundation.”
No, we have not have any paid ministers or teachers, for those who have the “gift” from Elohim teach and others have different gifts do other things, but in the Body we are all equal and none receive payments. If travelling there is housing and all comforts provided by the faithful of course, thus we are in truth a fully operating Apostolic Body in faith!
Be strong in Yahushua, and be a Fortress in Elohim;
“Fear not, for I Am With you.” Be
like Yirmyahu -
“Your
faith will never rise above the level of your confession.”
Praise Elohim, for His Anointed One, Messiah Yahushua will be coming very soon for the faithful in Him! …
“Now learn this parable from the fig
tree: When its branch has already become tender and puts forth leaves, you know
that summer is near. So you also, when you see all these things, know that it
is near at the doors! Assuredly, I say to you, this generation will by no means
pass away till all these things take place.” Mattityahu -
*************************************
A concluding but very important note; which I have been led to add at
the last minute!
Beloved, I pray that you take heed of what follows for it is most important. I ask that you to pray at this point and allow the Ruach HaKodesh, the Sanctified (holy) Spirit, fill your life, and listen very carefully to Him and allow the truth of Elohim’s Word to speak to your heart, for YaHVaH’s Word and His blessed truth will allow you grow in Him and you will walk closer with the Messiah Yahushua, blessed be His Sanctified Name!
I am assured that we are indeed living in the latter days and we must stand up and we MUST ALL return to using the most Sanctified Names in reverence, being the Names of the Father YaHVaH Elohim and His Anointed One Yahushua the Messiah and not use the foreign made up names, that have been given to them by the deceivers in the world that go back to the days of early Rome.
It is most important that you read the study “The Memorial Name.” Sadly some of the names used for our
beloved Creator and Messiah come from other sources and even have very
different and foreign meanings, and are even greatly opposed to the Word, and
sadly far too many Christians do not even know or understand this, although not
due to their own fault, but due to the teachers. Some will say, but the names
have been translated. Beloved, we certainly must translate words in order that
we may understand what is being said to us and are able to ascertain the
meaning, etc. However, did we translate the name of
Please beloved it is important right now, if you have not done so to read the study via the link above and be challenged by what the Father and the Son so clearly stated “Ask it in MY NAME”, for the truth is, we cannot use any other name - That is your challenge Today, for we can not continue to live like the Judeans did in the Days of Yirmyahu – Jeremiah with our heads under a bushel!
Start using the most Sanctified Names in prayer and see how blessed your prayer life will be!
