Jews: Seed of the Serpent

Welcome to WLC Radio, a subsidiary of World’s Last Chance Ministries, an online ministry dedicated to learning how to live in constant readiness for the Savior's return.

For two thousand years, believers of every generation have longed to be the last generation. Contrary to popular belief, though, Christ did not give believers “signs of the times” to watch for. Instead, he repeatedly warned that his coming would take even the faithful by surprise. Yahushua urgently warned believers to be ready because, he said, “The Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” [Matthew 24:44]

WLC Radio: Teaching minds and preparing hearts for Christ's sudden return.

* * *Part 1: (Miles & Dave)

Miles Robey: Hello! Welcome to World’s Last Chance Radio, where every day we bring you new truths from Scripture. I’m your host, Miles Robey.

Dave Wright: And I’m Dave Wright. Thanks for tuning in!

Miles: Have you ever wondered what God the Father’s real name is? You hear Him referred to as “God” and “Lord” but those are just titles. They aren’t His personal name, like Dave is “Dave” and I’m “Miles.”

Dave: It’s amazing how, despite the fact that Scripture repeatedly urges us to “Call upon the name of the Lord,” very few ever stop to find out just what that name is!

Miles: Yeah, because it’s not “Lord!” In fact, the original Hebrew doesn’t say “Call upon the name of the Lord.” It uses His actual name. It says: Call upon the name of … Yahuwah. That’s His personal name. Or Yah.

And when you understand what it means, that it is a verb-of-being that explains His eternal self-existence, it’s really beautiful. Very powerful.

Dave: The son’s name is similar. The name of the Saviour is Yahushua and means, literally, “Yahuwah saves!” So both names are, when you think about it, promises! Yahuwah’s name is a promise that He shall be anything you need Him to be.

The Saviour’s name reminds us that the Father saves. So, yes, it’s really a privilege to know and be able to use the personal names of the Father and the son.

Miles: When we read Scripture, rather than using the titles inserted by translators you’ll hear that we use the name as given in the original texts. Sometimes we share quotes by other writers and when they are clearly referring to the Father or the son, we take the liberty of substituting the divine names in those quotes as well.

Today’s topic is something Dave’s been studying into for some time. I’ve just recently started looking into it myself. It’s a rather heavy topic; not an easy one to discuss.

Dave: No, it’s actually a rather sensitive topic. It’s one that’s difficult to present without being misunderstood. Today we’re going to be talking about modern day Jews and why they are no longer Yah’s special people.

Many sincere Christians today look to the Jews’ traditions to gain deeper spiritual insights. They even have adopted many of their traditions, but this is wrong. Christians have no business turning to modern Jews for truth because they’re actually no longer Yah’s people.

It doesn’t mean that individual Jews cannot turn to Him and be saved. But as a whole, they rejected Yahuwah centuries ago and are no longer His special, chosen people.

Miles: Before we go on, I want to define very specifically just whom we’re talking about. Our broadcasts are heard around the world and many countries have anti-hate legislation. I want to make it very clear that we are not talking about a race of people. We’re not talking about the descendants of Abraham. We are talking about a group that is linked by ideology, rather than DNA.

Despite what many Christians seem to believe, the Jews cannot claim a higher level of righteousness simply by virtue of their lineage. Romans 3:23 says: “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of Yah.”

Likewise, there is no race that is totally evil. I want to be clear on that. We are not against the Jews as a race. That’s not what we’re going to be discussing. Instead, we’re going to be talking about an ideology that has been developed and promulgated by a group that are united in a covert agenda to dominate the world.

Dave: Some of the people in this group are descendants of Abraham, but most are not, even though they call themselves “Jews” and are the first to play the race card to silence anyone who tries to expose their secret agenda for global control.

Miles: I think we need a new word. They may call themselves Jews, but the majority of them, as you said, are not descendants of Abraham. Let’s call them—this group we’re talking about—let’s call them crypto-Jews.

The word “crypto,” when used as a noun, refers to someone who covertly supports a certain doctrine, group, or party.

Dave: That’s a good word for them.

Miles: So again, I can’t emphasize this enough: this isn’t some prejudiced rant against the Jews. We’re not talking about the racial descendants of Abraham. We’re going to be sharing some very shocking, very pointed information because we do believe that the crypto-Jews are a threat and a danger, but we’re not bigoted against any race.

I feel I need to really emphasize this point because we released some of this information in a documentary. Various countries blocked the video, claiming it violated their hate-crime legislation. So, again: we’re not talking about the Jewish race; we’re talking about a dangerous ideology that is being promoted by Jews and non-Jews alike.

Dave: The crypto-Jews.

Miles: Exactly. Now, what can you tell us about these crypto-Jews? Just who are they and what’s so dangerous about them?

Dave: The crypto-Jews are three things:

• They are Pharisees.
• They are Khazars. And,
• They are the seed of the serpent.

Miles: Now … how are they Pharisees? We just got through saying that they aren’t descendants of Abraham.

Dave: We said most of them are not descendants of Abraham. Some of them are, but most aren’t. The vast majority of crypto-Jews are, in actuality, Khazarian.

Miles: What’s that?

Dave: The Khazars were a Turkic people. They originally came from Central Asia. They’re a completely different race but they call themselves “Jews” and are usually the first to accuse someone of being “racist” whenever their goals or agendas are opposed.

Miles: These Khazarian crypto-Jews claim to be Jews, and yet actually—well, obviously—are not actually descended from Abraham.

Dave: That’s correct.

Miles: So, how can they be Pharisees while not actually being Jewish?

Dave: You’re making a common mistake. You’re mixing up race with religion. And, granted, we’ve all thought of the Jewish race as synonymous with the Jewish religion, but it’s not.

Benjamin Freedman was an American businessman. He was Jewish, by blood. Interestingly enough, this influential Jew was also a vocal anti-Zionist.

Miles: I think, frequently, many Jews who are Jews by blood are anti-Zionist.

Dave: They are! It’s the Khazars, the crypto-Jews, that are the Zionists. Anyway, Freedman recognized the danger of the crypto-Jews agenda. In 1954, he wrote a booklet called Facts Are Facts in which he revealed the truth about the Khazars.

I’ve got a copy here. I’d like you to read the marked paragraph. It’s going to be shocking but remember this is coming from a Jewish man and even though he doesn’t use the term, “crypto-Jew” that’s who he’s talking about.

Yeah, right there. Go ahead.

Miles:

Relentless research established as equally true that the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe at no time in their history could be correctly regarded as the direct lineal descendants of the legendary "lost ten tribes" of Bible lore. The so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe in modern history cannot legitimately point to a single ancient ancestor who ever set even a foot on the soil of Palestine in the era of Bible history.

Research also revealed that the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe were never "Semites", are not "Semites" now, nor can they ever be regarded as "Semites" at any future time by any stretch of the imagination. Exhaustive research also irrevocably rejects as a fantastic fabrication the generally accepted belief by Christians that the so-called or self-styled "Jews" in eastern Europe are the legendary "Chosen People" so very vocally publicized by the Christian clergy from their pulpits.

Unquote. Yeah, that’s—that’s rather shocking. Wow. He doesn’t need to use the word “crypto-Jew.” That’s clearly who he’s talking about.

Dave: We have to keep clearly in mind that the Jews and the crypto-Jews are two different groups. Certainly, there are some descendants of Abraham who agree with the agenda of the cryptos, but the vast majority of the crypto-Jews are these descendants of the Khazars who try to pass themselves off as being of the lineage of Abraham.

These are facts of history that have become better known in recent years.

Miles: Amazing what the Internet has done for the spread of truth, isn’t it?

Dave: Really!

As the facts of the Khazarian origins of the crypto-Jews has become more widely known, there has been a growing attempt by these crypto-Jews to cover up the truth and deny the facts of history. However, the truth is out there.

Eran Elhaik is an Israeli molecular geneticist as well as Johns Hopkins University post-doctoral researcher. He did his own research in which he denounced the crypto-Jews attempts to change history.

I’ve got another quote I’d like you to read. It’s from an article entitled: “Top Israeli scientist says Ashkenazi Jews came from Khazaria, not Palestine.”

Miles: Interesting. Okay, let’s see. It says, uh … quote:

In “The Missing Link of Jewish European Ancestry: Contrasting the Rhineland and the Khazarian Hypotheses,” published in December [2012] in the online journal Genome Biology and Evolution, Elhaik says he has proved that Ashkenazi Jews’ roots lie in the Caucasus — a region at the border of Europe and Asia that lies between the Black and Caspian seas — not in the Middle East. They are descendants, he argues, of the Khazars, a Turkic people who lived in one of the largest medieval states in Eurasia and then migrated to Eastern Europe in the 12th and 13th centuries.

Dave: Again, the crypto-Jews are not descendants of Abraham, even though they try to pass themselves off as such.

Miles: So, how can they be Pharisees? You said they were also Pharisees.

Dave: Well, as we’re dealing with history over 1,000 years ago, there is some difference of opinion. However, a widely accepted belief is that the Khazars were converts to Judaism.

As early as the ninth century, Muslim writings refer to how “Jewish” the Khazars were. There are also two Hebrew accounts of the Jewishness of the Khazars from the tenth century.

Have you heard of Shlomo Sand?

Miles: No. The name sounds Jewish, though.

Dave: He is. He’s an Israeli Emeritus Professor of History at Tel Aviv University.

In 2008, he published a book entitled The Invention of the Jewish People. It spent 19 weeks on Israel’s best seller list! In it, he argued that most modern Jews, particularly the Ashkenazi Jews of Europe, descend from converts.

Again, there are some people who dispute this, but there are just as many scholars if not more, Jewish and non-Jewish alike, that agree.

Miles: So then the pharisaical … uh, beliefs? Traditions? Practices? Comes from being converted in the, what? Early Medieval period?

Dave: Correct. We have to remember that Mosaic Hebrew beliefs—those beliefs and practices based on the writings of Moses, died out in the first century of our common era.

Miles: Oh, right! The Jews of today are the spiritual descendants of the Pharisees. They admit it themselves! Hold on a second, let me pull up this quote you shared with us before.

It’s from the Jewish Encyclopedia, from an article entitled “Pharisees.” It says:

With the destruction of the Temple (70 A.D.) the Sadducees disappeared altogether, leaving the regulation of all Jewish affairs in the hands of the Pharisees. Henceforth, Jewish life was regulated by the Pharisees; the whole history of Judaism was reconstructed from the Pharisaic point of view, and a new aspect was given to the Sanhedrin of the past. A new chain of tradition supplanted the older priestly tradition … Pharisaism shaped the character of Judaism and the life and thought of the Jew for all the future.

Dave: That’s a powerful quote and it is from these traditions of the Pharisees that modern Jews, including the Khazarian crypto-Jews, get their doctrines and traditions.

Miles: Incredible. We’ve been so blind! We’re going to take a quick break but when we return, we’re going to talk about this some more.

* * *Part 2: (Miles & Dave)

Miles: I have to say, Dave, this whole topic is really shocking to me. Like most other Christians, I was raised to view the Jews as Yah’s chosen people.

Dave: Well, they were at one time. But they haven’t been for a very long time. The Israelites rejected Yahuwah when they chose to have a king rule over them. 1 Samuel 8, verse 7 ways: “And Yahuwah said to Samuel, ‘Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you; for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.’”

Despite this, the Israelites continued to insist that they were Yah’s chosen elect, more special than anyone else on earth. And this attitude was adopted by the Khazars when they converted to Judaism. To this day, these crypto-Jews maintain the fiction that they are more special than anyone else.

Miles: I know I grew up believing it. I had this real crisis of identity when I got to be about 10 or so and realized … gasp! I was a gentile!

You can see how the crypto-Jews have adopted the attitudes of the Pharisees and that’s a real denouncement when you stop and remember that no other class opposed the Saviour quite like the Pharisees did. And, no other class was as denounced by Yahushua as were the Pharisees. He saw through their man-made traditions, their hypocrisy.

Dave: He read their hearts.

Miles: He did! Oh, the Pharisees were very skilled at making themselves look good. They were skilled at making others think they were something special. But Yahushua saw right through them. You remember what he said in … I think it was Luke 11? Yes. Here it is. Luke 11:44. He said: “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them.”

Dave: He clearly saw them for what they were. A man’s religious beliefs shape his attitudes, opinions and actions. The crypto-Jews of today are inspired by the same spirit that motivated their spiritual ancestors: the spirit of Pharisaism.

Like the Pharisees of Yahushua’s day, the crypto-Jews of today view themselves as superior to everyone else. Oh, they don’t mind accepting money from Christians. They’ll take all the money anyone wants to give to help rebuild the temple, but all the while they feel superior to all non-Jews.

Miles: Even though they themselves, for the most part, aren’t descended from Abraham!

Dave: And they know this! In 1976, Harold Rosenthal, a crypto-Jewish administrative assistant to US Senator, Jacob Javits, gave an interview to Walter White, Jr., in which he was asked about the Khazarian ancestory of many of those who claim to be “Jewish.”

White said, quote: “According to the latest scholarly research, your ancestors are not Israelites but Mongolians and Asiatics from Eastern Europe and Western Asia, so your ancestors were thousands of miles from the Holy Land. They never, ever saw the Holy Land – proving that your people were not the chosen people of God.”

Miles: What was Rosenthal’s response?

Dave: He said: “So what? What difference does it make?”

White responded by saying: “We have been taught the big lie for many years that Jews are God's Chosen people, so it does make a difference. A very grave difference.”

Miles: Well, yeah. That’s the whole reason why Christians today think they’re so special and why so many send them financial support. It’s how they maintain so much influence among Christians, this belief that they’re still Yah’s chosen people.

Dave: Walter White, as you can imagine, was shocked. He said, quote:

“Does it not prove that the great majority of Jews today are Khazar in origin. Your ancestors never trod the lands where Christ walked. They never knew Jerusalem and Palestine so how could…”

According to recordings of the interview, Rosenthal interrupted him, shouting, “What the hell difference does it make now?”

This is the attitude of the crypto-Jews. They know their true origins and they don’t care. Not as long as people continue to view them as Yah’s chosen and continue to support them financially. They’re in it for all they can get and sadly, multitudes of Christians think that they’re doing Yah’s will by supporting the evil agenda of these crypto-Jews.

Miles: Now, earlier, you said that the cryptos are the “seed of the serpent.” What did you mean by that?

Dave: The crypto-Jews are the seed of the serpent because they have embraced the very same attitude of the Israelites that rejected Yah. In Matthew 23, verse 33, Yahushua Himself called them: “Serpents! Brood of Vipers!” and asked, “How can you escape the condemnation of hell?”

A “brood” of vipers. In other words, a family, a lineage, of dangerous, poisonous snakes. They are the “seed of the serpent” that did indeed bruise the heel of the Saviour. In doing this, they were cooperating with their father, Satan.

Miles: You know, as shocking as this is, we shouldn’t be surprised. Yahushua flat out told the Pharisees, in John 8:44: “Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.”

So anyone who partakes of that same spirit of conscious superiority and self-righteous hypocrisy, anyone who cooperates with the crypto-Jews, adopting their agenda, is really, for all intents and purposes, a part of that spiritual lineage, the seed of the serpent, as well. Is that what you’re saying?

Dave: That’s exactly what I’m saying. Christians need to be aware that the vast majority of those who today call themselves “Jews” are, in reality, the crypto-Jews.

Because modern Judaism is pharisaism, and because the cryptos have fully embraced pharisaism, it’s easy to confound the two—especially when they claim to be Jews. But most of them are not descended from Abraham and to put them up on a pedestal as somehow being more righteous than others, as being more special, plays right into the devil’s hands.

And that’s why I wanted to talk about this today. To warn sincere believers from this deception.

Miles: What do you mean, it plays right into the devil’s hands?

Dave: Today, crypto-Jews dominate the world. They directly control—or indirectly influence—the world’s finances, military, education, scientific research, governments, non-governmental organizations, and the media and entertainment to name just a few.

Miles: How? What you’re talking about crosses international boundaries. You’re describing an infiltration of the elite that run the world! How do they do this?

Dave: They do this under three guises:

1. Israel (and their Mossad) imposes it’s will via the US military with which it has close ties;
2. Jewish bankers exercise totalitarian control via the US Federal Reserve and the Rothschilds’ banking dynasty. And,
3. Zionists control and influence religion and entertainment, which, in turn, shapes the values and thinking of multitudes.

Individually and collectively, these are the crypto-Jews. In other words, “Jews” that are united in furthering their unholy agenda for total world domination. Some may be of Hebrew descent; most are not. Frankly, if I were a true Jew, an actual descendant of Abraham, I’d be very offended by the Khazarian usurpation of my lineage and identity. But all who can be classified as crypto-Jews are united in their pursuit of power and in their sense of self-conscious superiority.

Miles: You’re talking a global conspiracy!

Dave: Absolutely I am. And it’s not just a “theory.” The term, “conspiracy theories” is often used to ridicule and dismiss arguments that would reveal the truth. But it ceases to be a theory when it can be proven.

The truth is: crypto-Jews are the masterminds behind a vast, global conspiracy to dominate and rule over all gentiles. In this goal, they have one secret advantage: the mind of the average person cannot grasp the magnitude of premeditated evil in which the cryptos are actively involved.

Miles: That’s quite a statement. Can you give us any specific examples?

Dave: Absolutely! To further their agenda, the crypto-Jews fomented the Bolshevik Revolution in which as many as 50 million people were killed and which set the stage for the Cold War of the 20^th century.

This isn’t hate-speech. This is fact, and the historians know it! Winston Churchill [Britain’s Prime Minister during World War II] wrote, quote:

There is no need to exaggerate the part played in the creation of Bolshevism and in the actual bringing about of the Russian Revolution by these international and for the most part atheistical Jews. It is certainly a very great one; it probably outweighs all others. With the notable exception of Lenin, the majority of the leading figures are Jews. Moreover, the principal inspiration and driving power comes from the Jewish leaders. …In the Soviet institutions the predominance of Jews is even more astonishing.

Miles: I’ve heard of the cryptos involvement in World War I, but what about World War II? They wouldn’t kill their own people!

Dave: You’re again confusing the descendants of Abraham with the cryptos. Of course the cryptos would kill off the actual descendants of Abraham! The holocaust provided the cryptos with a perpetual get-out-of-jail-free-card under the slogan: “Never again.”

This may be shocking to those who have been indoctrinated to believe six million Jews lost their lives in the holocaust but—

Miles: Wait a minute. Back up. Are you denying the holocaust?

Dave: Not at all! Not only Jews lost their lives, but so did many gays, gypsies, Protestants, Catholics … anyone deemed useless or unworthy of life. What I am saying, though, is that this idea that six million Jews lost their lives? That’s a fabrication; an embellishment. All you have to do is compare European census records taken before and after the war, to see such a number is a sheer impossibility.

I know this sounds too incredible to be believed, but I want you to read this quote from the Rosenthal interview we talked about earlier. You can read the whole thing on line. For now, just read this part, here.

Miles:

We have always been ready to sacrifice a few thousand Jews in exchange for world leadership. It is a small price and there is nothing wrong with that. …You know we laugh about the six million story just like the story that Christ was a Jew and the God's Chosen People story. This should show people that we have a solidarity like none other in the world. Jews have a closeness to other Jews whom they have never seen or perhaps even heard of.

Dave: By controlling finance and education, the crypto-Jews have been able to mold the thinking of millions. Now. Read this statement from Rosenthal.

Miles:

By controlling the banking system we were able to control corporation capital. Through this, we acquired total monopoly of the movie industry, the radio networks and the newly developing television media. The printing industry, newspapers, periodicals and technical journals had already fallen into our hands.

The richest plum was later to come when we took over the publication of all school materials. Through these vehicles we could mold public opinion to suit our own purposes. The people are only stupid pigs that grunt and squeal the chants we give them, whether they be truth or lies.

Dave: But all that aside, the crypto-Jews most effective means of influencing thinking and molding policy to further their agenda has been found in their vast influence over religion.

Miles: I was just scanning over these pages of the Rosenthal interview. Listen to this! He says:

Through religion we have gained complete control of society, government and economics. No law is ever passed except its merits have previously been taught from the pulpits.

An example of this is race equality which led to integration and ultimately to mongrelization. The gullible clergy in one breath instruct their parishioners that we are a special, chosen people while in another breath proclaim all races are the same.

Dave: Christians are ignorantly cooperating with the cryptos, the “seed of the serpent,” when they perpetrate the myth that today’s “Jews” are Yah’s chosen people, and to receive Yah’s blessing, you must “bless” the so-called “Jews” with your support.

Judaism is the parent stock from which has grown both Islam and Christianity. But it is the cryptos that have brought Pharisaism into the modern world and institutionalized it, dominating the world.

Miles: I’ve read some sources that suggest that the early Jews—before the Khazars converted—were behind the corruption and molding of Christianity into the Roman Catholic Church and, through the Catholic Church, the creation of Islam. What do you think of that?

Dave: Well, there’s no way to know. I will say this, though: Rabbi Abe Finkelstein, in an interview given to Pastor James Wickstrom, admitted, quote: “We formed the Jesuits.” Unquote.

The crypto-Jews have certainly infiltrated every denomination within Christianity as well as Christian seminaries by offering an enticing apple: their supposed connection to and knowledge of the Hebraic roots of Christianity. Here, read just one more quote from Rosethal.

Miles: Quote:

Religion, too, must be taught, and through this necessity we have labored. With our control of the textbook industry and the news media, we have been able to hold ourselves up as the authorities on religion.

Many of our rabbis now hold professorships in supposed Christian theological seminaries. We are amazed by the Christians' stupidity in receiving our teachings and propagating them as their own.

Judaism is not only the teaching of the synagogue, but also the doctrine of every 'Christian Church' in America. Through our propaganda the Church has become our most avid supporter. This has even given us a special place in society, their believing the lie that we are the 'chosen people' and they, gentiles.

Unquote. Wow! How is it we’ve never learned this before?

Dave: Well, the cryptos obviously are not going to want this information out there! In fact, Rosenthal himself was killed under suspicious circumstances within a month of giving this interview. The cryptos don’t mind boasting amongst themselves, but they certainly don’t want any outsiders to know that’s going on!

But this is serious! A handful of crypto-Jews controls billions simply by molding their theological belief system. Christians today look to the Jews for spiritual insights. They assume today’s crypto-Jews are the blood descendants of Abraham so they adopt Pharisaical practices and traditions to add “richness” to their religious observances. Some go so far as to wear yarmulkas just because the “Jews” do, and they have been indoctrinated with the belief that “the Jews are Yah’s chosen people.”

Miles: You’re saying that Christian theology has been shaped, to a degree, by the crypto-Jews to further their own self-serving agenda!

Dave: I am. And that is the crux of the matter. You can’t turn to today’s “Jews” for spiritual insight! They are not Yahuwah’s special, chosen people.

The truths entrusted to Moses hold true to this day. But the corrupted doctrines of the modern day Pharisees hold no light for Yah’s people today. I cannot emphasize this enough: study Scripture for yourselves, folks! Don’t turn to Pharisaical traditions to find truth. Study it out for yourselves from the Bible.

That is your Christian duty.

Miles: Well, it’s never a good idea to set up any one or any institution as an authority. Our authority should be the Word of Yah alone.

Don’t go away, folks. Up next is our Daily Mailbag. Stay tuned.

Miles: Hey! We’ve got our first question from Croatia! Pavao Branković from Zagreb, Croatia.

Dave: I’ve got a bit of trivia for you. Men’s neckties originate from Croatia.

Miles: Seriously? We have to wear nooses thanks to the Croats? Thanks a lot, Croatia!

Dave: Indeed. In fact, the biggest necktie ever made was in Croatia. They tied it around some arena. It took almost a week to complete and measured over 800 meters!

Miles: That’s some noose!

Dave: Anyway, what does … Paulo is it? What does Paulo have to say?

Miles: Pavao. He says: “Dear Miles and Dave, Could you please share with me what it takes to please Yahuwah? My wife and I want to please him, but it seems no matter what we do, it never feels like enough.”

Dave: I love this question! I’m so glad to have a chance to address it. This is something a lot of sincere believers experience and I’m pleased to have the chance to set the record straight.

Miles: Well, please. Do tell. I think a lot of us can relate with what Pavao is saying. You try to “walk the walk” and not just “talk the talk.” You have personal, morning devotions, you try to live in an attitude of constant prayer, you share your faith, but it never seems like you’re doing enough! Sometimes it can feel like the rich young ruler when he told Christ, “All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?” [Matthew 19:20]

Dave: The thing I want to say to you, and Pavao, and anyone who has ever struggled with not feeling good enough is simply this: Yahuwah is pleased with you. Not because of what you are, a sinner; but because of who you are: His child.

Don’t view your relationship with Yah as a to-do list. That will steal your joy every single time.

Don’t quit having your personal devotions; don’t stop living in an attitude of prayer, or sharing your faith. But don’t assume that Yah’s approval of you is based on how well or how often you do these things.

Miles: That’s a really good reminder to have. You know, growing up Christian, we think we understand it. If we’ve been told once, we’ve been told a million times: “Yah loves you and gave His son to die for your sins.” You think you get it.

But after awhile, it’s easy to kind of tune it out. Sort of: Yeah, I get that. Let’s move on to something else. But it’s easy to slip into the assumption that Yah’s acceptance is based on our ability to do the right thing.

Dave: And if a little is good, more is better.

Miles: Right! If 30 minutes of personal devotions is good, an hour is better still. And, contrarily, if we oversleep and miss that quiet time first thing, we’ve failed Him.

Dave: The thing we have to remember—and I’m speaking to myself here, too—is that even when we seem to be doing everything right, we’re still sinners!

Romans 5 expresses this beautifully. Would you turn there and read verses 6 to 8, please?

Miles: Romans 5:6-8 … Okay. Here we go:

“For when we were still without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die. But Yahuwah demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”

Dave: That is why we are loved and accepted. Not because of what we are, but because of who we are: His children. And, because of who He is: a being of infinite love and compassion.

Next, turn to Colossians 3 and read verse 3, would you please.

Miles: “For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in Yah.”

Dave: Your life is hidden with Yahushua in Yah. This means that when Yahuwah looks at you, he doesn’t see your sins, which are many. He sees the perfection of His own son. You are accepted in the Beloved.

Miles: That’s beautiful! It’s encouraging. It really is.

Dave: Often our feelings of desperation come from a fear of failure. We look at the Saviour’s perfection and compare our own unworthiness and we feel overwhelmed knowing we can never “achieve” that level of perfection.

Miles: Yeah, that’s really the issue. Knowing how far from perfection we are only increases the feelings of helplessness and failure.

Dave: Those feelings come from Satan. Remember: Yahuwah has already accepted you! He loves you! You don’t have to do anything to “win” or otherwise earn His approval.

When we really begin to grasp the degree to which Yah loves us, we will feel a freedom—

Miles: A relief!

Dave: –we’ve never felt before. This doesn’t mean that we stop reading our Bibles, or memorizing Scripture, or that we start living worldly lives.

On the contrary, once I accepted the fact that I was already accepted in the Beloved, it’s like I got my second wind, spiritually speaking. I have a passion for Bible study I’ve never had before. And the more I experience Yah’s love for me, the more motivation I have to love others.

Now, sure. I still have days where I can slip back into viewing the spiritual walk as a giant to-do list.

Miles: Or to-don’t!

Dave chuckles: Righteousness by abstinence? Just remember, whenever you start feeling this way, it’s a reminder that you’ve forgotten the true gospel message.

Miles: “For Yah so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosever believeth in Him should not perish but have ever lasting life.” [John 3:16]

Dave: And the next verse says: “For Yah sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved!” Don’t listen to the devil when he tells you you’re not good enough.

Of course you’re not good enough! Neither am I. But the beauty of salvation is that we are accepted in the Beloved, and when our lives are hid with Christ in Yah, it’s the perfection of the son that Yah sees when He looks at us.

Miles: Amen! We are a new creation, not based on our performance, but because of what Yah has done for us.

Dave: That’s right.

Miles: Thanks for that. I needed to hear that, too.

* * *Daily Promise:

Hello! This is Elise O’Brien with your Daily Promise from Yah’s Word.

Robert Robinson had a tough start in life. His father died when he was only five years old. His mother couldn’t control him, so she sent him off to London to learn how to become a barber.

It wasn’t long before Robert joined a gang and got into drinking. One day when he was 17, he and some of his friends decided it would be fun to visit a fortune-teller. The other guys thought it was hilarious, but something about it bothered Robert.

That evening, he suggested they attend an evangelistic meeting that was being conducted by George Whitefield. Whitefield is considered one of history’s greatest preachers. His voice was described by contemporaries as part violin, part foghorn.

That night, his sermon was drawn from Matthew 3, verse 7, which says: “But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism, he said unto them, O generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come?”

The message struck home to Robert. He felt that Whitefield was preaching directly to him. For the next three years, Robert wrestled with his conscience. Finally, on December 10, 1755, Robert made a full surrender to Yah. Not long after that, he decided to go into the ministry, to share the joy and peace he had found with others.

In 1759, he moved to Stone-Yard Baptist Chapel, in Cambridge, England. He worked first as a lecturer and then, from 1762 to the end of his life, as a pastor. Under his spiritual leadership, the church there grew to over 1,000 members.

Robert’s life was turned around because he had discovered the water of life and he was satisfied.

Titus 3, verses 3 to 7, contains an excellent summary of Robert’s life, as well as the life of any who will turn to Yah, take Him at His word, and accept the gift of salvation. It says:

For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. But when the kindness and the love of Eloah our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Yahushua Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

We have been given great and precious promises. Go, and start claiming!

* * *Part 3: (Miles & Dave)

Dave: I know we’re almost out of time, but I want to reiterate one last point: Christians who turn to Jewish tradition to enrich their spiritual lives are turning to what Scripture refers to as “broken cisterns” that simply cannot give the water of life because they don’t contain it. Jewish tradition is nothing more than the “traditions of the Pharisees” that have been adopted by the crypto-Jews in their conversion to Judaism.

Miles: I think people who adopt the pharisaical traditions are, as you said, sincerely wanting to enrich their spiritual lives.

But it’s so easy for legalism to creep in. Like we were saying in today’s Daily Mailbag: if a little is good, more must be better. If doing this certain act is good, doing more of it will make us even more godly. I think there’s a real tendency for legalism to creep in.

Dave: Absolutely. People who rely on legalism for a sense of security, always want more, something new, something harder to do, to assure themselves of their level of devotion. They then look for whichever spiritual community has the highest standards of performance, the most precisely spelled-out requirements.

Miles: That’s easy to find in pharisaical Judaism.

Dave: A Christian is going to look to Yahushua’s life as the ultimate example of righteousness. From there, it’s a short jump to look beyond to the practices of the Jews.

Don’t forget, though, that Yahushua was too liberal for the Pharisees!

Miles, surprised laugh: That’s true! He found fault with the religious practices of the day, didn’t he?

Dave: No true follower of Yahushua is going to venerate the Jews and try to copy their practices. There’s no spiritual light to be gained there, folks!

Why would you turn to the group that is behind some of the worst atrocities of the last 2,000 years? They rejected Yah millennia ago! And were finally rejected by Yah for their stubborn refusal to accept the Saviour. The only thing you’re going to get from aping the traditions of the cryptos is … Pharisaism.

Miles: You lay it out like that, and it throws modern Judaism in a whole new light. I can’t help but think of the Saviour’s denunciations of the Pharisees in his day. Hold on a second … I want to read something from Matthew 23. The whole chapter should be read by anyone who thinks they can learn anything more from the Jews, or that the Jews are still Yah’s people, or they should send their money to rebuild the temple, or whatever.

Okay. Here we go. Matthew 23, verses 23 to 28. It says:

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Dave: Everyone who believes in Yahushua as the Seed of Abraham, must take a stance against Judaism. The very essence of Judaism is based on Pharisaic traditions that the Saviour denounced! Why would anyone turn backward, spiritually speaking, and look for light in that which Yahushua denounced?

The crypto-Jews are the seed of the serpent. In Amos 3, verse 3, Yah asked: “Can two walk together, except they be agreed?” Well, that applies to this as well.

Turn to 2 Corinthians, chapter 6. This is another passage that emphasizes there can be no mingling of truth with error. You have it? All right, read verses 14 to 17, please.

Miles:

Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?

And what agreement hath the temple of Yahuwah with idols? for ye are the temple of the living Eloah; as Yahuwah hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their Eloah, and they shall be My people.

Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith Yahuwah, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.

Dave: The woes pronounced upon the Pharisees are equally applicable to all who embrace the traditions of the modern day crypto-Jews, because the crypto-Jews are Pharisees.

We’ve got no time to play around with filtered truth. We need to go to the source of truth directly for ourselves!

Miles: I was just thinking of something Yahushua said. He spelled out a warning that is just as necessary today as it was when He spoke it to the disciples. He said: “Beware and take heed of the leaven of the Pharisees … [which is] the doctrine of the Pharisees!” [See Matthew 16:5 & 12.] You can’t get any more clear than that!

Dave: Each one of us needs to go to Yahuwah for ourselves. We need to study Scripture for ourselves. Don’t accept any “truth” that’s been filtered through the corrupt channels of Judaism.

Miles: There’s a poem that was later made into a hymn. It’s called, “My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less.” The first verse goes:

My hope is built on nothing less
Than [Yahushua’s] blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on [Yahushua’s] name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.

Our security isn’t in the traditions of the Jews; it’s not in doing what our priest tells us to, or having a pastor that preaches what we already believe. It’s only found in the love of Yah as shown through the gift of His son.

Dave: That is so true. In the days ahead, doctrines of demons won’t keep you safe! Don’t look to human authorities for truth. Scripture and Scripture alone is our source for truth.

Miles: Yahuwah has pledged the very honor of His eternal throne that He will supply every need, including the need for greater spiritual insight. You don’t need to go to the Pharisaical crypto-Jews. They aren’t Yah’s chosen people!

Turn to Yah and Yah alone. And He will supply all your needs.

Join us again tomorrow, and until then, remember: Yahuwah loves you . . . and He is safe to trust!
