Homework 10
ANSWERS This is the 1st reponse I received on 9-11-10:
The purpose of the Book People of Color is to present the Bible from a wholistic (physical, mental and spiritual) viewpoint or approach. 2. Adam was created perfect for what purpose?
Adam was created perfect in order that Yahweh’s nature could be reflected to the world according to Genesis 1:26,27. 3. Who else in scripture walked with El-o-him beside Adam?
a. Because this man walk so closely with El-o-him what did El-o-him do for him? Enoch walked so closely with Yahweh that He took him according to Genesis 5:22-24 b. Will El-o-him do the same thing for us?
Yahweh will also have a group of sealed people that will walk so closely with him that they will “follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth” according to Revelation 14:4 c. Name the group of people El-o-him promised he would do this for?
They are the 144,000 “of all the tribes of the children of Israel” according to Revelation 7:4. 4. Are only the New Testament believers saved by grace? No.
a. List at least 2 Old Testament believers that were saved by grace and please quote the scriptures? Noah - Genesis 6:8 “…Noah found grace in the eyes of Yahweh.” Moses - Exodus 33:17 “And Yahweh said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. b. Did the Old Testament believers have the Holy Spirit like we do today? Please give scripture to support your answer. According to 2 Peter 1:21, “for the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of Yahweh spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.” c. If so please list the people and the scriptures that tell you this? Joseph – Genesis 41:38 “ And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of Yahweh is?” Bezaleel – Exodus 35:30,31 “And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, Yahweh hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah; And he hath filled him with the Spirit of Yahweh, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship.” Othniel – Judges 3:9,10 “And when the children of Israel cried unto Yahweh, Yahweh raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. And the Spirit of Yahweh came upon him, and he judged Israel.” 5. What sin and test, plunged humanity into so much misery, woe, pain and finally death.
The sin of diet and appetite with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, according to Genesis 3:6,7 “ And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked.” 6. Was anyone in the Bible perfect and if so please list them with their scripture? Noah - Genesis 6:9 “These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with Yahweh.” Job - Job 1:1 “There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared Yahweh, and eschewed evil.” 7. If a person is perfect will they know it? Please give scripture for your answers. Please use a person who you believe was perfect of how he or she saw themselves. Instead of picking one of the witnesses from my list in 4c, I choose Moses who, of course, was also another witness for Yahweh. According to Exodus 4:10, Moses did not consider himself perfect, “ And Moses said unto Yahweh, O my Yahweh, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.” 8.Does El-o-him call us to perfection? What scripture? Yes, according to Matthew 5:48 , “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.” 9. a) What does El-o-him use to sanctify and perfect his people? Yahweh uses truth (His word) to sanctify and perfect his people according to John 17:17 , “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” b) I am looking for what circumstances bring us to perfect. Example, What circumstances brought the Messiah to perfect? According to 1 Peter 4:12,13 it is trials and tribulations that bring us to perfection. “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Messiah's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.” 10. Who will be the 144,000? They will be those who are sealed with the “Father’s name written in their foreheads (Revelation 14:1)” out “of all the tribes of the children of Israel (Revelation 7:4).” 11. What will they have to go through to be in that number? According to Revelation 7:14 the 144,000, “are they which came out of great tribulation.” 12. What is Present Truth for this late hour in earth’s history? The Present Truth for today is the understanding of People of Color in the Bible and the importance of incorporating Yahweh’s Health laws into our lives so we can be properly prepare for the events of the last days. 13. What race will the 144,000 be from? Classical African Hebrew Israelite because the original Israelites were Black Hebrews. Not Blacks, because Blacks take in many races like: Black Muslims, Black Christians, African-Americans. They will be of the Black race 14. YHWH has set up before every soul what prize? According to 1 Corinthians 9:24 and Philippians 3:14 , the prize that Yahweh has set up before every soul is His high calling. “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of Yahweh in Yahshua Messiah.” This higher calling involves submitting our complete will to that of Yahweh specifically in the area of diet. 15. What is the mystery of Godliness? The mystery of Godliness is Yahshua Messiah. According to 1 Timothy 3:16, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: Yahweh was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” Yahshua Messiah is the only one who fits this description. 16. Who will allow themselves to become merged with El-o-him or become one with El-o-him which is atonement? Only those who are willing to deny the world, take up the crosses and follow Elohim. For the scripture says in 1 John 2:15 and Matthew 16:24, “ Love not the world , neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 17. How long have humans been on probation?
Humans have been on probation for the last 6,000 years. 18. What has YHWH been trying to teach us? Yahweh has been trying to teach us the truth about his character and his purpose for our lives. For he tells us in Leviticus 11:44, John 16:13 and 1 Peter 2:9, “For I am Yahweh your Father: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.” 19. What has YHWH been trying to develop us into? Yahweh has been trying to develop us into perfect disciples who are willing to forsake everything and represent him in all truth. This is why he tells us in Revelation 3:18 and Luke 13:24, “I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.” 20. What was the 1 st test given to the last Adam and why? The first test that was given to Yahshua was in regards to his appetite and diet according to Matthew 4:1,2,10 and Luke 4:1,2,12, “ Then was Yahshua (being full of the Holy Spirit) led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. Then saith Yahshua unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship Yahweh thy Father, and him only shalt thou serve. Thou shalt not tempt Yahweh thy Father. And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.” This test was critical for Yahshua to pass because it was through the passing of this test that would equip Yahshua for the successful work of redeeming humanity from death. For it says in Romans 5:14,15, “Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of Yahweh, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Yahshua Messiah, hath abounded unto many.” 21. How does Romans 7 relate to our spiritual walk? Romans 7 relates to our spiritual walk because it clearly describes the internal struggle between the spirit (our minds) and the flesh (our bodies) that rages within us on a daily basis. This is why Yahshua warns us in Matthew 26:41 to “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” The law of life encourages our minds to obey Yahweh and follow him, but the law of death tempts us and tells us to obey Satan and follow him. We know in our minds that the right thing is to choose life and obey Yahweh, but because our flesh is so weak we continue to choose the wrong thing by disobeying Yahweh. This struggle is even more manifested in our lives by our diets. Yahweh encourages us to eat the right foods so that our minds and bodies can be fully equipped to handle the spiritual battle that is set before us. However because many of us are choosing to eat unhealthy foods that degrade our bodies and cloud our judgment we are made weak in the flesh and unable to be victorious over sin. 22. Is the person in Romans 7 saved? Why? No. The reason is that according to James 1:8, Matthew 6:24 and Joshua 24:15, “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve Yahweh and mammon. This is why Yahweh is calling for his people to be perfect. Those who are perfect in Yahweh will not waver in their decision to stand up for truth. An unstable or lukewarm person (such as the one described in Romans 7) can’t be saved because according to Revelation 3:16, “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” 23. How does a person get out of the Roman 7 experience? By heeding to the words stated in Romans 8:1 , “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Yahshua Messiah, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” Those who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit are perfect because they choose life in every aspect of their lives, from what they watch, to what they eat, to what they listen to, to where they go. They are constantly watching and praying to avoid the pitfalls of temptation. 24. Name the type of Laws found in Romans7 and 8? There are at least 4 laws in Chapter 7. The Law of the Members of the Body (Romans 7:23) 25. What part of our being do these Laws relate to? I mean which law relates to the mind, body and spirit. According to Romans 7:25, our minds relate to the Law of the Spirit of Life and our flesh relates to the Law of Sin and Death. The Law of the Members of the Body and the Law of the Mind are constantly at war with each other. I believe that the Law of the Members of the Body is rooted in unhealthy living because this deals directly with the physical members of the body. It is at war with the mind because the things that we put in our bodies start first with our minds. If the mind says, “I have a craving for pizza,” then our bodies (if not under the will of Yahweh) will respond by getting it and then eating it. It is at this moment that a person is brought “into captivity to the law of sin.”
26. What has to happen to us, for us to move from Romans 7 to Romans 8? We must choose to walk after the Spirit. This requires allowing the Holy Spirit to train our bodies to be subject to the Law of the Spirit of Life. 27. Is the Law nailed to the cross according to Romans 7? The Law of the Spirit of Life is not nailed to the cross. The Law of Sin and Death is nailed to the cross when we choose to walk after the Spirit by obeying the Law of the Spirit of Life. The problem that most people have in understanding the scripture references that Saul makes regarding the law is that they can’t discern between which law Saul is referring to. Moreover, because many people are still walking after the flesh, they are still under the Law of Sin and Death and do not want to bring their flesh into subjection of the Spirit which is why they are constantly trying to nail the Law of the Spirit of Life to cross because they don’t want any part of it. I looked at this question again and reread Colossians 2 specifically verse 12, “ Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross.” I noticed that my answer was sounding more like those from the traditional viewpoint. I had to ask myself, “Is the phrase ‘handwriting of ordinances’ referring to Yahweh’s Law?” Then, it hit me in verses 4, 8, 21, 22 and 23 of this same chapter, “And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Messiah. Wherefore if ye be dead with Messiah from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body: not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh . ” The answer is NO! The handwriting of ordinances that are contrary to us (the true followers of Messiah) and against us is not Yahweh’s Law, it is “THE TRADITON OF MEN, THE RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD” Praise Yahweh!!!!! This is what Yahshua Messiah nailed to the cross. He nailed to his cross the traditions of men and their erroneous worldly rudiments that indeed only have a show of wisdom, but do not have Messiah at the foundation. Its purpose is definitely to satisfy the flesh. How could Saul be referring to Yahweh’s Law in verse 12 when he follows up in verses 16 and 17 with, “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Messiah.” If Saul was teaching here that any part of the Law was nailed to the cross would not he have said, “WERE a shadow of things to come (past tense)” instead of “ARE a shadow of things to come (present tense).” In conclusion, no part of the Law has been nailed to the cross. It is the traditions of men that Yahshua took out of the way for us that were nailed. 28. What is the purpose of the Law according to Romans 7? The purpose of the Law is to reveal knowledge about oneself as to whether or not they are following Yahweh or Satan. If one obeys the Law of the Spirit of Life they know they are following Yahweh. If one obeys the Law of Sin and Death they know they are following Satan. For example, Saul says in verse 7, “Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.” The main purpose of the Law is to reveal truth. For Yahshua said in Matthew 5:17, “ Think no t that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.” Yahshua fulfilled the truth of the Law by revealing the character of Yahweh when he came the first time. He did not worship any gods, he observed the Sabbath (all of his Sabbaths not just the weekly one), he did not covet, etc. All these things he did so that when people came into contact with Him, they would be in contact with the Father. He said himself in John 14:9, “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father.” Once a person comes in contact with the Law of truth one of two things will happen, either it will be rejected or accepted period. The Law reveals the truth about whether or not a person is rejecting or accepting Yahweh. Yahshua accepted the Law of truth and Yahweh expects us to do the same. 29. Why is the Romans 7 person brought into the captivity of the Law of sin according to verse 23? Please refer back to my response under question 26. 30. How does a person know if they are in Christ Jesus according to Romans 8? They know they are in Yahshua Messiah when they “walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” 31. John 5:19, 30; 8:28 inform us that the Messiah can do nothing of his own self, is the person in Romans 7 and 8 in the same situation? Yes. The person in Romans 8 understands that the only way he/she can transition from instability to perfection is by depending solely on Yahweh. This is why He sent Yahshua to us so that we would have a perfect example of how to live our lives through the Law of the Spirit of Life. Most people today believe that it is impossible to achieve such perfection and as a result continue to live under the Law of Sin and Death “having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof (2 Timothy 2:5).” The person in Romans 7 is not in the same situation as Yahshua Messiah. The main difference is that Yahshua acknowledges that he can’t do anything on his own. He has completely denied himself by doing whatever he sees the Father do therefore there is no room for self to get in the way. The Romans 7 person is still struggling with self getting in the way of keeping this person from doing the same thing as Yahshua, doing whatever he sees the Father do. As long as the Romans 7 person remains in this sinful state, he can never be perfect. 32. a) What does it mean that the Messiah can do nothing of his own self? It means that Messiah thinks, speaks and teaches all under the direction of the Father (Yahweh) according to John 8:28, 38: 12:49,50; 15:10, “ I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. I speak that which I have seen with my Father. If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. b) Could the Messiah be tempted according to James 1:12 – 16. Yes the Messiah could be tempted. Luke 4:1-13 provides an example and Hebrews 4:15 specifically tells us that, “ For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” 33. Did the Messiah give his will over to the Father? Explain. Yes. He surrendered his will over to the Father according to Matthew 26:39,42, “And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.” Yahshua placed his will under subjection to the will of the Father. 34. What is the will of the Father according to John 7:16 – 17? The will of the Father is the doctrine of truth as revealed through the Holy Spirit. According to John 4:24, “Yahweh is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” 35. a) According to John 6:38 why did the Messiah not do his own will? Yahshua did no do his own will because he was sent down from heaven to do the will of Father. b) Can we do our own will and still be following his will? Messiah did not do his own will because doing so would have separated him from the Father and led him to death (the second one). We can’t do our own will and still be following His will according to Matthew 6:24, “ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” 36. a) What does John 6:57 mean when the Messiah says that he lives by the Father?
Yahshua means that his entire life is in the hands of the Father. “ For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak (John 12:49,50). b) I am trying to compare the Messiah to us. What does it mean for us to live in the Spirit? It means that we must deny self and stop living our lives like Romans 7 and completely surrender our minds and bodies to the will of Yahweh just as Yahshua did. We must do everything we see him do and say everything we hear him say. 37. What does it mean when the scriptures say that the fullness of the Godhead dwelt in the Messiah bodily? It means that Messiah exhibited all of the characteristics of the Godhead as described in Galatians 5:22 and Ephesians 5:9 which says, “ But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith. For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth.” 38. What was the last test given to humans? The last test given to humans will be the same as the first: diet. It is our diet that will determine whether or not we are rejecting or accepting Yahweh. Yahweh has used appetite/diet on many occasions to determine whether or not his people are willing to follow him completely. Adam and Eve were tested through diet (Genesis 3), Israel was tested through diet (Exodus 16), Daniel and his friends were tested through diet (Daniel 1), Yahshua Messiah was tested through diet (Luke 4). So shall it be for the last test (Revelation 14:4). The 144,000 will not defile themselves with women; for they are virgins. This means that in all three aspects of the their lives (physical, mental and spiritual), they will not defile themselves. 39. What was the progression of diets given to humans? Please give scripture for your answers.
Note the following average lifespan reductions with each successive change in diet: Based on the table below, with the introduction of each new diet the average lifespan of humans decreased to approximately 10% of the preceding one. Although the bible does not record any information about the life span of Adam and Eve on earth before the fall, it is safe to say that the time period between Genesis 2:25 (before the fall) and 3:1 (after the fall) was not immediate as some people may us want to believe. Using the simple calculation from the table, one could estimate that Adam and Eve lived for approx 10,000 years (as a minimum) before the fall. 40. What was the purpose of each diet given to humans? Diet has played a major role in the human time table since creation. After the fall and as the wickedness of mankind increased, Yahweh allowed changes in the human diet to take place as a means to remove wickedness by drastically shortening the lifespan of humans with each successive change.
41. What is the purpose of flesh in our diet?
The purpose of flesh in the human diet was to drastically shorten the lifespan of those who choose not to follow Yahweh’s health laws. 42. When did El-o-him allow flesh to be part of our diet?
Referring to the table above from question 40, flesh was introduced to the human diet after the flood according to Genesis 9:3.
43. Why did El-o-him give us flesh?
He used flesh in the diet as a way of distinguishing between his true followers and those who choose not to follow him. We find an example of this in Daniel 1:5,6,8 “ And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king. Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.” 44. Did El-o-him try to take us off a flesh diet? Yes. 45. When did he do this? Yahweh attempted to take us off a flesh diet after he delivered us from the captivity of Egypt according to Exodus 16:1,4, “And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt. Then said Yahweh unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no .” 46. Did we obey or did we complain about this? No. We complained according to Numbers 11:4-6, “And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick: 6 But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes.” 47. What happen to the people who refused and complained to the diet change? Yahweh allow them to eat so much flesh that they died according to Numbers 11:19,20,33, 34, “T herefore Yahweh will give you flesh, and ye shall eat. Ye shall not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, neither ten days, nor twenty days; But even a whole month, until it come out at your nostrils, and it be loathsome unto you: because that ye have despised Yahweh which is among you, and have wept before him, saying, Why came we forth out of Egypt? And while the flesh was yet between their teeth, ere it was chewed, the wrath of Yahweh was kindled against the people, and Yahweh smote the people with a very great plague. And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah: because there they buried the people that lusted.” 48. Does the church still have the same attitude about flesh as we did when El-o-him tried to take us off the flesh diet? Yes. Every time Yahweh tries to teach the church about the importance of giving up flesh and following his health laws, the people complain and lust after it the more. Just like when Yahweh brought us out of Egypt, the church today lust after meals filled with flesh seasoned with all kinds of spices. Many of Yahweh’s Sabbaths are defiled with people sitting at their tables claiming to be his chosen ones filling their bodies full of flesh prepared meals falling further and further away from him. 49. Will we find ourselves in the same position as did the people in the wilderness? Yes. We can already see how much people have died from various diseases caused by the continuous eating of animal flesh. 50. Do the curses or plagues on Egypt exist today through the western diseases like: high blood pressure, cancer, gout, high cholesterol, arthritis, and etc. Yes (You must know that at this very moment as I’m typing these words I’m in tears) the plagues of Egypt exist today. Deuteronomy 28:15-68 describes in full detail the fate of Israel (The Classical African Hebrew Israelites) for not hearkening “ unto the voice of Yahweh thy Father, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes” He said specifically in verses 22, 27, 35, 59-62 regarding the state of Israel’s physical health, “Yahweh shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning… Yahweh will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. Yahweh shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head. Then Yahweh will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee. Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will Yahweh bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed. And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of Yahweh thy Father. I don’t think that it gets any plainer than this regarding the reason why we are suffering from such things like cancer, high blood pressure, strokes, arthritis, etc. Yahweh makes it plain that our current state of physical health is the direct result of disobeying His Law, particularly His health law. This is the reason why in the last days there are only going to be 144,000 Israelites left on the earth who stand for truth. Yahweh said in verse 62, that only a few in number will be left out of the large multitude of generations of Israelites because so many are going to choose not to obey the voice of Yahweh. Disobeying Yahweh’s voice through His health law is going to be the main reason why so many will not make it. Their physical bodies will be so degraded that they won’t be mentally strong enough to fight against, “ principalities , against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12). I had to be perfectly honest with myself. Many of the scriptures that I read in Deut 28 I have personally experienced which is why the tears are flowing down my face as I am typing this response. It is more tears of joy rather than tears of pain because of what Yahweh is revealing to me. TRUTH!!!!!!!! The propaganda of faith that the world has been (past), is being (present) and will be (future) fed is based on the “THE TRADITON OF MEN, THE RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD (Colossian 2:8).” It is this same propaganda of faith that teaches Yahweh’s Law is nailed to the cross because through Yahweh’s Law wisdom and knowledge of truth is revealed and Satan (who is the leading force behind the propaganda of faith) does not want Yahweh’s truth to be revealed. He wants it to remain hidden. 51. When YHWH introduced flesh into the diet how much did flesh decrease human life? Flesh decreased life by thousands of years. See diet chart under question 40. 52. How many young people followed YHWH’s diet in the Bible? Yes. We find an example of young people following YHWH’s diet in Daniel 1:5,6,8 “ And the king appointed them a daily provision of the king's meat, and of the wine which he drank: so nourishing them three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king. Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.” 53. Were any of them blessed? Yes. 54. What blessing did they receive? According to Daniel 1:15-17, “ And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat. Thus Melzar took away the portion of their meat, and the wine that they should drink; and gave them pulse. As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom: and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.” 55. a) Are these same blessings for us today or does El-o-him have another plan for the New Testament believers? These same blessings are for us today according to 3 John 1:2, “ Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” b) How does YHWH wanting us to have good health, relate to YHWH’s health laws? The relationship between Yahweh’s health laws and Him wanting us to have good health is this: if we eat the foods that he originally instructed us to eat in Genesis 1:29 (fruit and seed bearing herbs) he will do for us just like he did for Daniel, Hananiah, Azariah, Mishael and Yahshua. He will give us “ knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom (Daniel 1:17)” and enable us to “understand science (Daniel 1:4)” and be “waxed strong in spirit (Luke 2:40).” Yahweh always wanted us to be in good health through his Health Law. Leviticus 19:23-25 (which occurs after Yahweh describes the Law of Beasts in Leviticus 11) provides an example where Yahweh instructs Israel to obey His health law, “And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees FOR FOOD, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of. But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise Yahweh withal. And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof:” Many people read Leviticus 11 and then stop there using that chapter to justify eating flesh meat. However, if this was really the case, then why would Yahweh later instruct Israel to plant all manner of trees for food upon their entrance in the land Canaan? Wouldn’t this present a contradiction? Yahweh forbid! There were many offerings that were presented to Yahweh that required preparation of food. With some of these offerings (i.e. the trespass/sin offering Leviticus 7:1-10) there was an additional requirement to eat the food that was prepared (verse 6). Hmmm! Here is a thought. Could it be that Yahweh established the Law of the Beasts/Fowl/Creeping Things (Leviticus 11) for a particular purpose in the Sanctuary services and that he never intended for flesh meat to become a part of our diet? Something to think about! 56. If you are in school or are planning for a big test what type of diet should you be on? We should be on the same diet as that of Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah which is meatless diet. 57. What type of diet will the 144,000 be on? They will be on the same diet as that of Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah which is a meatless diet. 58. What type of diet will prepare us to deal with the mark of the beast and why? A diet that is free from flesh because this is the only way that we will be able “ to stand against the wiles of the devil (Ephesians 6:11)” 59. What sins got us into our present circumstances and dilemmas? The sins that got us into our present circumstances are those of diet and appetite with the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, according to Genesis 3:6,7 “ And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked.” 60. Will you fight the battle no matter how many people will try to stop you? I pray that Yahweh gives me the strength to stand. I can already see my family beginning to try and stop me from fighting this battle because they are not as of yet ready to accept the truth. 61. How many bands of demons are you willing to fight through? I am willing to fight through as many as it takes to get to the prize of eternal life. 62. How many times we must go through the same trails before we learn the lessons YHWH is trying to teach us? As many as he will allow us to go through. 63. Are you willing to run the race and to obtain what YHWH is offering us? I am willing to run the race. 64. What is YHWH offering us for the prize? YHWH is offering the prize of his high calling in Yahshua Messiah. 65. Are we willing take hold of the truth and pass over every necessary obstacle with speed? I am praying for us to be willing. 66. Are you willing to go through the pathways full of entanglements, snares and traps as our forefathers? I pray that I am willing. 67. Are we willing not to delay in accepting the Present Truth which will help us make our calling and election sure? I am praying that we are willing.
