EliYah:
- I believe we have a caller on line two. Shabbat Shalom, Brother Curtis.

Curtis:
- Shabbat Shalom.

EliYah:
- How are you all doing?

Curtis:
- Good. Thank Yahweh.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah

Curtis:
- HalleluYah. [blows shofar]

EliYah:
- There it is.

Curtis:
- Praise Yahweh!

EliYah:
- All right. How's the little one?

Curtis:
- Little Noah?

EliYah:
- Yeah.

Curtis:
- Probably awake now. [laughs]

EliYah:
- Probably awake now. That's probably true.

Curtis:
- He's doing good.

EliYah:
- Glad to hear that.

Curtis:
- He's doing very well, yeah. Thank Yahweh.

EliYah:
- I heard a guitar note. That must mean you have a song to share.

Curtis:
- Yeah, we had somebody ask us. Actually, I think the girls are going to sing a song. I told them I didn't know how long your study was going to last.

EliYah:
- Okay.

Curtis:
- Because most of them were asleep, but Sunny's nine, but still on Shabbat. They're Shabbatin'.

EliYah:
- I got ya. Well, that's what it's all about anyway. I guess you're tuning. Is that right?

Curtis:
- Well, yes, I am. I, as you know, I feel like sleeping is a waste of time.

EliYah:
- Yeah, I think I'd get a lot more done if I didn't have to sleep.

Curtis:
- I'm looking forward to that.

EliYah:
- Yeah, one of these days. Well, one of those days.

Curtis:
- No, the day, the day when He comes.

EliYah:
- Exactly.

Curtis:
- I think we'll be singing and praising, and won't have to be worrying about all that. We will be feasting on His every syllable.

EliYah:
- Amein.

Curtis:
- Amein, halleluYah. All right, Sunny was going to do--well, everybody here was going to do it, but it's more one of those girl songs by Christy Beth.

EliYah:
- Okay.

Curtis:
- One of our favorite servants, musical servants here in the kingdom on this earth. We were plunking out a few of her songs, figuring out the chords and all. We've got one--we've got a couple of them down. But anyway, here's one that y'all will probably recognize. "Yahweh Is the Name" and the chorus.

EliYah:
- Okay.

Girls:
- Shabbat Shalom!

EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom! Sounded like it was in harmony. And you have a song for us. Is that right? Hello. There we go.

Curtis and Girls:
- [singing]

EliYah:
- HalleluYah!

Curtis:
- HalleluYah. We like that song.

EliYah:
- It sounded pretty good.

Curtis:
- It's a good song.

EliYah:
- So who all was singing? You and who else?

Curtis:
- That was Miss MaggiLu and her first daughter Sunny.

EliYah:
- All right.

Curtis:
- Speaking of which, hold on one second. What you all made me think of is [inaudible] a little bit.

EliYah:
- Out of the mouths of babes? Right? I think another song is on the way.

Curtis and Girls:
- [singing]

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Curtis:
- I actually kept the round going a couple of times there. Small miracle.

EliYah:
- And that's the bottom line is trusting in Him, isn't it?

Curtis:
- HalleluYah, yep. Well, it's one of the big things. I was reminded of that song again today and also the study you played last week in walking in the Spirit, the Ruach, walk in His breath. I want to just encourage everyone today. More Shabbat to me is singing and dancing and reading, Ya-ha'ing. Ah, Yah, I get it, and just having a Yahsome day.
- I can see where they're coming from--every day--every day is supposed to be a Yahsome day, but we're commanded to work six days a week or at least get our work done six days a week. I wanted to encourage everybody just to follow through. We struggle a lot.
- Most of them time, when people ask us how things are going, it's not always so wonderful. We think if they're asking us, they want to know. It's usually, "Oh, it's going okay. We're overcoming."
- Anyone that is on His path and has a desire to follow Him and serve Him and have a covenant with Him is going to be very much under a microscope by lots of people and under attack by the enemy, the adversary and just tempted. Yahweh allows it.
- I believe it's all tests allowed by Yahweh. He's created everything, and He does, amazingly enough--a couple of years ago, my eyes jumped out of my head when I saw that Yahweh gives a spirit of delusion for those who don't want to have much to do with the truth or the whole truth.
- It says if you're breaking one of them, you've broken them all, and we've all done that. We're all born human. We are all sinners, but we don't have to go on in sin. We have the door. We have the key, the power to overcome. Realize, self examine. That's what this time is about.
- I think a lot of us, from what I'm reading and just pouring over the last few weeks, making sure, once again--I see everything commanded and instructed in the Passover. Circumcision is in there, and it's all in context. It's from, as most people say, Genesis to Revelation.
- That's in context. That's the context of it. I've been looking at historical writings, as well, like Josephus and other historical reporters and things that are witnessed in our scriptures, as well.
- I just want to encourage people to confess our sins to one another and overcome these things. One of the things, as you know, that I've been really struggling with myself--as a brother of ours said the other night to me, most of the things, probably all the things we see in ourselves or in others are in ourselves.
- That's the only way we see it. I see that as being scriptural. It takes one to know one. That comes out of scripture. So I've been really struggling with getting out of bondage financially, economically. I've seen some mistakes we've made--I believe mistakes we've made we're seeing those for ourself, not things that everybody is the same.
- As I've taught children for years in the classroom and my own children, we're all mostly the same. We're just a little different. We look different. I always make the children stick out their tongues and look at everybody. You see the inside there? You all look the same.
- I don't care what color you are on the outside. You stick out your tongue--maybe I've got another cavity and you don't, but we're all the same on the inside. We're mostly the same. We have mostly the same similar feelings. We have the same temptations. As I said, if we're on the path, we all have these temptations and struggles.
- When you add to it another person, and you make a covenant not only with Yahweh, but then with another person, wife or a husband with Yahweh, you've got a covenant there and another person is involved, and it seems like the attacks get even stronger. Then you've got somebody else that you're responsible for each other. You're to submit to each other.
- It kind of adds to your plate, and then you add children, and you've got a platter. You've got a lot of things to look out for and a lot of different angles and avenues of attack. I've been struggling with the bondage of economics and things like that, and just majorly being in a mortgage and what I see is some usury involved.
- The other one I've struggled with is really doing something about being closer to people that are paying attention to the scriptures. As you said earlier, I heard not just being a hearer but a doer. I think, as we were talking yesterday, it's not a magical formula.
- It's not going to fix all the bickering between us as husband and wife and struggles and bickering between children and different struggles we go through, things we overcome, our everyday life.
- Being close to people that are struggling with the same thing and encouraging everybody to look at Him and follow Him, Yahweh, is not going to fix everything, but it sure does fulfill that fellowship and that encouragement of each other.
- If you have people within a Sabbath day's journey around you that actually know the source and who to turn to, the key and the source of solution, and the source of problems, and the key to all of it, and we're all struggling and encouraging each other, it does help.
- We're all scattered from the four ends of the earth, and that's obviously His will. So I just want to encourage people to get together, and be honest with each other, and know that we all have these struggles, and we all are looking to please Him, for the most part.
- I think it's easy to be on guard not to be judgmental, but it is kind of easy to see eventually it's revealed when somebody just doesn't care about the pleasure of Yahweh or pleasing Yahweh, and they just care more about whatever they want, and whether it's Yahweh or not.
- It's scriptural, and it's black and white, and it's written right there. It's not real difficult to see. There are still some mysteries and secrets Yahweh reveals to His people. Somebody mentioned the other day, too, this real common verse, seeking Him, seeking His kingdom--kind of forgetting following His commands and His righteousness.
- It's really easy to see when people are really, really doing that, especially when you get together often, and you have fellowship often, and you encourage each other often. You see where people just go like some of our politicians, like get out of my face. It's just a piece of paper. Who cares?
- When a brother is struggling, they go, "Ah, man, I know I hate this, but I thank you so much for helping and encouraging and bringing it to me. What do you suggest? What do it do?"
- And then sitting down and getting on your face before our Father and our Master and figuring it out through our fellowship and counseling and everything, figuring out with Him for us as individuals, because we all are a little different, and we all are--and He wants it that way, because He wouldn't call it the body.
- We're not all toes, and we're not all eyeballs, and we're not all brains, we're not all hearts. But anyway, I just want to encourage everybody to put it out there, and examine ourselves, and encourage each other, and I really thank everybody for encouraging us.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Curtis:
- And being there for us when we needed it. You all have done that.
- We have a lot of good brothers and sisters and friends, and some of those that are still not really in much of an understanding of the name of Yahweh, and some that don't even have a desire, that have helped and have good hearts, and then some of us that are on the path and different places of the path, but on the same path, obviously, very obviously.
- We're just very thankful especially for His people coming to our aid and our side when we've had struggles. And we still do. We'll be perfected when we're taken home. I'm looking forward to that, too.

EliYah:
- That's one thing even Paul--I was reading this morning in Philippians 3. He says, "It's not that I've already attained or am already perfected, but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Messiah Yahushua has also laid hold of me. Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended, but one thing I do: forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead."

Curtis:
- HalleluYah.

EliYah:
- "I press toward the goal of the prize of the upward call of Elohim in Messiah Yahushua. So, therefore, let us, as many as are mature, have this mind. And if anything you think otherwise, Elohim will reveal even this to you. Nevertheless, to the degree that we've already attained, let's walk by the same rule. Let's be of the same mind."

Curtis:
- HalleluYah.

EliYah:
- We're all at different degrees. We haven't all attained the same things at the same time, but to the degree that we have, let's walk in the same rule.

Curtis:
- Right. And as I've said to many of our brothers that we know and have fellowshipped with, that I feel, I know, I feel I know that He honors and blesses the fellowship, the honesty, the confessions, repentance.
- Whether it's somebody else He uses to speak an encouraging, or truthful, or correcting word to us, or He just blesses us because we are talking, and confessing, and sharing, and encouraging other, whether it happens through another, it all comes from Him.
- I know that He does it, as well, just to us when we are making that effort, and stepping out, and really putting ourselves out there, and getting over fears of every kind, except not being obedient to His instructions, and just getting over our own self, and pride, and fear, and ego, and vulnerability.
- Just putting it out there, saying, "This is what He says. I'm going to do it. My brethren are here. If they judge, that's on them, but I'm putting it out there for Him to bless me through them or just to bless me for doing it." And He does, He does. He absolutely does.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah. I appreciate you sharing. I've got other phone calls to get to, and blessings to you and your family.

Curtis:
- Yes. Everyone have a blessed Shabbat. Thank you. Yahweh bless you all very much, and we love you all. Have a blessed Shabbat and Passover. We've been blessed with some goats. They're all females this year, little kids. We're having to bottle feed a couple of them. They're clueless on that.
- We thought about showing up at family week and saying, "Oh, are we late? We brought the goat." But I would do that. That's not too much of a joke for me that I wouldn't do that. It remains to be seen. I'm still kind of dreaming about that, just being there, not really making a joke.
- If we showed up with lactating goats--if we showed up with Pumpkin, who's almost four years old now and really producing a lot of milk, enough for a couple of other kids that's not doing well on their mother. If we showed up with her, we probably wouldn't have to say anything.
- People would be scratching their head and going, "Oh, my goodness." All I'd have to say is, "What, are we late?" And it would be funny to some of us. To others, they'd go, "That guy's a nut, isn't he?" And I'd say, "Yeah, maybe." A nut in Him, a nut for Yahushua. HalleluYah.

EliYah:
- All right, brother. Love you guys, take care.

Curtis:
- Bye.

EliYah:
- Shalom.

Curtis:
- Shabbat Shalom.

EliYah:
- Brother Curtis from the state of Florida. I've got another call here from--I believe it's Richard Roe. Is that correct? Richard Roe, are you there with us? Brother Richard. Well, let's see if he comes to the phone.
- Actually, Brother Richard invited me to a conference call about three or four weeks ago. I was able to share some of the truths we've learned in Yahweh with others who were in the conference call. That was a blessing. Brother Richard was on the line. It had something to do with the Watchtower, some kind of group trying to reach the people who are part of Jehovah Witnesses.
- The interesting thing about it is a lot of the same tendencies that we see in Jehovah Witness organization, that they are the truth. They're the answers. A lot of denominations today make the same claim or similarities between them that many people are willing to realize.
- All right, I believe we do have another phone call that came in. Looks like we're going to have to drop this call. Maybe he'll give us a call back. Brother Richard, if you're listening, feel free to call again, and we'll move you to the head of the line. In the meantime, we do have another phone call here. I don't think--they're talking to Kara at the moment. She'll let me know who that is.
- Kara is my very helpful assistant, my daughter Kara. She's been a great blessing in helping us with the broadcast. I really couldn't do the broadcast without her help. So I praise Yahweh for helpful children. I believe we have a long-time caller. Haven't heard from her in quite awhile. Sister Finella, Shabbat Shalom to you.

Finella:
- Yes, Shabbat Shalom. How are you?

EliYah:
- I'm doing great. How are you doing?

Finella:
- Okay. It's good to have you back in the United States. [laughs]

EliYah:
- Well, it's kind of good to be back. It was kind of good to be over there, too.

Finella:
- Right. I was telling Kara, the reception over there trying to listen to you was a bit difficult. It would be a little faint, broken type of thing, so I didn't hear you all that clearly, but I tried to tune in. We went to Jacksonville one time, so I missed that session.
- What I wanted to tell you, today, for the first time, I went to this temple. It started about 10:30. It's called Beth Tislah. [phonetic]

EliYah:
- Okay.

Finella:
- The girl who really led me to this truth, she's the one who referred me there, but I was a little disappointed, because they say "Lord" and "God." When I introduced myself, as one of the people who were there for the first time, I gave my name, and then I said to them, "I thought we weren't supposed to be using 'Lord' and 'God.' That's why I left the church."
- And so he said I have a lot to learn here. So anyway, this other guy I met afterwards, he came to me and said, "I would like to talk to you." He's one who agrees with us using the name and that type of thing.
- So he said, "There really isn't any group around here that uses the name Yahweh." They use Yahushua, but they spell it with an "e." But the thing is I guess I'll have to just jump over where they say "Lord" and "God" and say Yahweh there. I really miss fellowshipping.
- I need somewhere to come together and praise with a group. So what do you think?

EliYah:
- Yeah, there's quite a number of congregations a person could attend where they at least say they want to keep Torah. They're going to be at different levels, depending on which group you go to, as far as actually taking that seriously.
- Some add a little Hebrew-ism into Christianity. Others are pretty serious about the keeping of Yahweh's commands. The same is true of even the sacred names. Some might use the sacred name every once in awhile, and others will be more serious about it and more conviction.
- There's no way I can possibly judge what kind of group you're attending. You just have to go and see where their hearts are. You may find that leadership may be a little off or something, but what I've always said is if you ever find the perfect assembly, then we couldn't attend it.
- But if you ever find the perfect assembly, I'd like to know where it is. I've never seen one.

Finella:
- I know. Do you think our heavenly Father Yahweh would--He understands I'm using Lord and God?

EliYah:
- Yeah, and a lot of it has to do with what's going on in the hearts, like we were sharing today. Some people in these kinds of groups are still trying to follow man, whether it be some form of rabbinical Judaism that they're adding to the Christian faith, but other groups are more focused on scripture.
- You just have to go in and visit. Even if you find that things are not right where they should be, there's always the opportunity that you could be a positive influence in some way within the calling Yahweh gives. Even if some of the leadership there is not into it, maybe you'll find people who are and get fellowship that way.
- I encourage people to expand a little bit. We're going to be attending an event called Family Week this coming week. It's in Kenly, Kentucky, put on by Hiovel [phonetic] Ministry. They use the sacred names sometimes, and sometimes they don't, and they follow the Jewish calendar, so their Passover days are going to be different than ours.
- But it doesn't mean I call them unbelievers or anything. I think the people there are of the right attitudes and have some things I can learn there. I'm not expecting perfection in my fellowship.
- At the same time, though, I've got to be careful that I don't end up going astray in some way, and I have to keep my guard up, as we do anywhere else. Keep our guard up. The fact that I have children I'm bringing with me, to direct them and protect them, as well. I don't know what to expect there completely.

Finella:
- This is what I was saying. You'd get the information and take the parts out, the sound advice and doctrine, and the other parts we don't agree with, we could just discard. Right?

EliYah:
- Yeah. I'm sure not everybody that listens to this broadcast agrees with everything I say. If we just all waited until we all agreed, then we'd all probably never meet. To the extent, as I read earlier in the scripture, to the extent we have attained, let's walk of one mind.
- Let's seek out fellowship and unity of the spirit in the bond of peace, even though we might not have doctrinal unity at this point. The question becomes, am I able to edify the people in this group? Are they edifying me? That's the purpose of gathering together is for edification.
- If it gets to a point where I'm not being edified and not able to edify them, then I would look elsewhere. As long as there's some edification going on, that's the purpose for gathering.

Finella:
- I do enjoy listening to you, but I'll have to miss the session and get just the end. So I'll have to go back in and get the word later when you put it out there.

EliYah:
- That's fine.

Finella:
- But we'll see. We'll see. I'm going to let our heavenly Father guide me and show me where He wants me to be.

EliYah:
- Amein. That's the main thing about it right there.

Finella:
- Yeah. It was nice having that fellowship with other human beings.

EliYah:
- Yeah, other people that are like-minded.

Finella:
- Some live beings.

EliYah:
- An actual human that keeps Torah.

Finella:
- Right. And so on Thursday, even though they were closed off, they allowed me to join them for the Passover.

EliYah:
- That's good.

Finella:
- So I'll see what it's all like for the first time.

EliYah:
- Very good. HalleluYah. Well, that's great. You're finally getting some fellowship and real live human interaction. That's just a great blessing for you. I'm happy for you.

Finella:
- Uh-huh. So I just wanted to touch base and let you know I'm still here. I'm listening to you, even though I haven't called in for a little while. Everything is fine.

EliYah:
- Good.

Finella:
- I'm still walking, trying to walk the walk, with the help of the Holy Spirit and Yahushua.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah. That's great. It's very good to hear from you.

Finella:
- Okay. Thanks again for everything.

EliYah:
- Yes, Yahweh bless you and your family.

Finella:
- Okay, same here. Bye-bye.

EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom. Good to hear from Sister Finella, a person that liked to call in about every week with very tough questions. We always liked her questions. They were always challenging. That's a blessing that she's able to find fellowship locally. HalleluYah.
- At this time, our phone lines are still open. We can take another phone call or two. We have somebody on line one. Somebody has called in. Let's see if I can find--Richard Roe called back in. All right. Shabbat Shalom, Brother Richard.

Richard:
- Hi, Shabbat Shalom. Thank you very, very much for coming on the other website with me in Israel. That was really great. You helped a lot of people. I appreciate that very, very much.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Richard:
- In fact, I want to ask you about Tiberius. You were there one day, weren't you?

EliYah:
- Yeah, I was in Tiberius.

Richard:
- That's on the Sea of Galilee, isn't it?

EliYah:
- Yeah, it's on the southwest area of the Sea of Galilee. That was a place where we got invited--I was at a hotel. They call them a hostel there. It's like a cheap hotel. The owner of the hotel had some of his friends over for Shabbat dinner.
- I peaked my head around the corner, and I said, "Shabbat Shalom." And they all said, "Shabbat Shalom!" And they said, "Do you keep Shabbat?" I said, "Yes." And they had me sit down to eat, and I was able to--they piled my plate full of food, and they were singing and reciting different prayers and different things.
- I joined in with them. They had questions about what I believed, and it was really a positive experience there. We stayed there two or three days.

Richard:
- Oh, great. Have you ever read the book, "The Cairo Geniza" by Paul Kahle?

EliYah:
- No, I haven't.

Richard:
- Boy, you need to read that one. That would really be interesting, I assure you. One thing that was a discovery there in Tiberius about 1940, they discovered a very interesting fact, according to Paul Kahle in this book, "The Cairo Geniza."
- One of the discoveries they made was that there was no "o" in the Hebrew alphabet. He doesn't say exactly how they discovered that, but they said there's no "o" in the Hebrew alphabet, and there was no "o" sound until about 1100 AD, when they put in the vowel points into the Hebrew language.

EliYah:
- Okay.

Richard:
- Therefore, there was no "o" in Adonay, no "o" in Elohim. You left the "o" out. In fact, that's where the name Jehovah came from. They put the "o" in, the Catholic church did in about the year 1146 or something like that. I was wondering if you ever heard of that.

EliYah:
- I think I heard someone trying to tell me about that some time ago, but nothing solid. I haven't seen any proof of that.

Richard:
- That's in that book, if you've got the name written down there. I got it from the library. I'm sure you could also. "The Cairo Geniza," I think that's right. I don't even know how to spell it. I think it's G-e-n-e-z-i-a-h. Geneziah, I think.

EliYah:
- Okay.

Richard:
- Do you know what a Geniza is?

EliYah:
- No, I've never heard of that.

Richard:
- Well, in Cairo, Egypt, they found this one. What it was, on the back of a Jewish synagogue, they had a building back there on the end of it. It had no windows and no doors in it, but at the top in the back there was a hole up there.
- There was a hole about three feet in diameter or two feet in diameter. When the old scrolls they were using were worn out and no longer acceptable in the public, then they put that in there. Usually, they would bury them or burn them.
- But in these genizas, or however you say that word, they put it in there, and they discovered this--I think it was 1940 when they discovered this one.
- There were a whole lot of old Hebrew manuscripts in this place. What's the other writing material? I forget right now. Papyrus, yes. That's where they got a lot of their discoveries. They said that in those writings, there were no vowel points on a lot of these manuscripts they found.

EliYah:
- Okay.

Richard:
- I would think that would be a very important discovery that is actually true.

EliYah:
- That's interesting, because I believe it was the sixth or seventh century when the vowel points were added to the Hebrew manuscripts.

Richard:
- I thought it was a little later, but okay.

EliYah:
- These documents you're talking about, I guess you're saying that they were maybe later than that?

Richard:
- Yes. I heard, if I remember right from reading his book, around 1100 AD.

EliYah:
- So even the oldest--we have a physical--I don't know if we have it anymore, because it got burned--but a manuscript of the Masoretic text has the vowel point for the "o" sound. That would be--of course, those are copies of the Masoretic script, which they began, I believe, sixth century.

Richard:
- Really? Uh-huh.

EliYah:
- So I'd have to hold that into question.

Richard:
- Sure. When they discovered the Dead Sea Scrolls, remember them saying those scrolls were 1,000 years older than any manuscript they'd had of the Hebrew scriptures before.

EliYah:
- Right.

Richard:
- They were about 300 BC or 200 BC.

EliYah:
- Yeah.

Richard:
- That would put them up around 1000 BC approximately.

EliYah:
- The oldest of the Dead Sea Scrolls were about 200 BC, as far as the dating goes. Those did not contain any vowel points.

Richard:
- Right. And that would be 1,000 years older, 1,000 years ahead of that, which made it about 1200 AD is the oldest manuscripts of the Hebrew text they had before that.

EliYah:
- Yeah. Thinking back, even though the Hebrew didn't contain vowel points, there would be, for instance, the Septuagint, which when you look at the Septuagint, it was translated from a Hebrew text in the second or third century BC.
- That would have contained transliterations of various names. I think that you're going to find the "o" sound in some of those names, particularly like Solomon. I don't know how they would do that in the Greek. I can look it up here just out of curiosity and see what we've got.

Richard:
- Actually, the Bibles we have today, like the King James, were from that text.

EliYah:
- Also, even the New Testament would have transliterations of names.

Richard:
- Right.

EliYah:
- So Solomon has the "o" sound.

Richard:
- It sure does.

EliYah:
- Matthew 6:29. Unless the New Testament messed it up, we'd have to say that Hebrew had an "o" sound.

Richard:
- Matthew 6:29, did you say?

EliYah:
- Yeah. The Greek actually writes it out, phonetically written as Solomon. I'm sure there's going to be other names, as well.

Richard:
- How about the name Yahweh. That also is transliterated in the Greek, right?

EliYah:
- Well, not in any surviving New Testament manuscripts. It was about the middle of the second century that this doctrine came about that they were going to replace the name Yahweh with Kurios. If you were to look at writings of the church fathers prior to that period, for instance, Clement of Alexandria, he did use Yahweh.

Richard:
- That was phonetically pronounced?

EliYah:
- It was phonetically pronounced Yahweh.

Richard:
- Right, yes. And origin is the same way, right?

EliYah:
- I think origin was later.

Richard:
- But he did phonetically pronounce the name Yahweh. Am I right?

EliYah:
- Not to my knowledge.

Richard:
- I see.

EliYah:
- If he did, I didn't know about it.

Richard:
- I see, okay. I don't really know. I'm just asking.

EliYah:
- We know Clement of Alexandria kept Passover still and did use the name Yahweh in his writings, at least some of them.

Richard:
- Yes, I've read about him, Clement of Alexandria. I understand he phonetically said Yahweh.

EliYah:
- Right.

Richard:
- Did he also say Yahushua, or do you know?

EliYah:
- I think that was still Ieosus transliteration.

Richard:
- The Greek one, right?

EliYah:
- Yeah.

Richard:
- Okay, that's interesting. One other question I had here, you gave some discussion of 1 Corinthians 5:7, a section in there. The only problem I have with that--and I thought I'd see what you have to say about this--is that there several religions say, "No, no, you cannot apply that to Passover, even though it says that you may become a new lump.

1Corinthians 5:7 - Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even the Messiah our passover is sacrificed for us:
- I'm just kind of offhandedly quoting that. You cannot really apply that to Passover, because the theme of this text is how to keep clean as a believer. It's how to free yourself from the sin and leaven of wickedness. He's using that as a parallel in that way. While Christ was our Passover, that simply meant we were to have faith in Him as our sacrifice.
- It was not in itself instructing us to keep the memorial of Christ's death yearly, as it does in 1 Corinthians 11.

EliYah:
- Yeah, well, some people would say that. But if the Messiah is our Passover, and we understand the law is not done away with, we keep Passover.
- If the Messiah is our Passover Lamb--He's called the Lamb of Yahweh in numerous places, because He was the Passover Lamb. He died at the exact hour that Passover lambs were being slaughtered in Jerusalem according to Josephus, which was the ninth hour.
- That being the case, He being our Passover, we partake of the body and blood of Messiah as our Passover Lamb. To try to put it in some other context is to ignore the foundation. The foundation of the New Testament is the Old Testament. You just create this New Testament out of thin air.
- There's over 200 quotes of the Old Testament in the New Testament. It's the foundation. The fact that we have a symbolic thing happening here about sin--a little leaven leavens the whole lump--purging out the old leaven, the old sin, that we may be a new lump, because we are unleavened. That's the spiritual application. No question about that.
- This is the reason why we're unleavened: because the Messiah, our Passover, was sacrificed for us. So let's keep the feast. What feast? How are you going to spiritualize that one away? Let's keep the feast, not with old leaven, with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
- We do keep the feast, and we don't do so with sin in our life, malice and wickedness, but we do so with spiritually-speaking unleavened bread, sincerity and truth. If someone spiritualized the whole thing away and said we don't keep the feast days, some would say he's not really saying the Messiah is our literal Passover.
- The timing of His death and everything--look at the big picture--even apart from the scripture here, it's pretty clear that's exactly what He was intended to be. It was because of what He did at the time He did it that Yahweh instituted Passover in Exodus 12 to begin with, because of what Yahushua was going to do. That's how I see it.

Richard:
- Very good. That's a very good point. I appreciate that. Of course, the ones I talk to would agree Christ is our Passover, our ransomed sacrifice. But they're just simply saying in this context, they say Paul is emphasizing that we are to be pure in our beliefs and our lives.
- That's what he's emphasizing here. They would say you can't take that as evidence of any literal thing that happened then in the Jewish feast days. They would refer to 1 Corinthians 11. I suppose you would also take that as being closer evidence that we are to keep the festival.

EliYah:
- Absolutely, absolutely. You have to be missing it to miss the analogy here that the Messiah is our Passover lamb. We partake of Him. What are we partaking of? We're partaking of Passover. When do you keep Passover? Every Sunday? Or was it something that was a yearly festival? It was a yearly festival.
- When do you partake of Passover? The time they would eat Passover lamb. That's when you partake of Him. To me, that makes the most sense. I understand there are other opinions and different thoughts. That's the one that seems most persuasive to me.

Richard:
- You mean the one in 1 Corinthians 11?

EliYah:
- Just everything together, looking at the Messiah as being our Passover in 1 Corinthians 11, saying we are partaking of Him, to remember His death. When did He die? He died on Passover. He's our Lamb. If He's our Lamb, our Passover, when was the Passover eaten?
- If we partake of His body, Him being our Passover, then when should we eat the Passover? Every Sunday?

Richard:
- That's what they say, yes.

EliYah:
- There's no scripture basis for that whatsoever.

Richard:
- Well, they say Acts 20, when they went into the Upper Room.

EliYah:
- The concept of breaking bread was something done daily.

Richard:
- It was a common meal.

EliYah:
- It was like saying, instead of saying, "Let's go have a meal together," "Let's go break bread."

Richard:
- Sure. Even a couple hundred years ago, that was a common thing to say. "Let's break bread."

EliYah:
- Right.

Richard:
- Coming over to Sunday dinner or whatever. Also, a thing I've learned in 1 Corinthians 11:24-25:

1Corinthians 11:24 - And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1Corinthians 11:25 - After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
- If you look up that word "remembrance" in the Greek Lexicon, you know what you find? That meant a yearly remembrance. That's the way it defines it in the Lexicons I have here, the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament.
- They wrote in great detail where remembrance, the Greek word for that, it was not a weekly remembrance, not a monthly remembrance. It was a yearly remembrance like a wedding anniversary, for example. The word itself in the Greek says yearly, rather than monthly or weekly. I found that very, very effective for the ones I showed that to.
- They just didn't have any answer for that at all. What I did is copied that page and gave them a copy of that, too. If it's of interest to you, I'd be glad to fax you a copy of it.

EliYah:
- That sounds interesting. I'm looking at that right now. You said it's the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament?

Richard:
- Right. Do you have that one?

EliYah:
- Let me take a look and see if I can find that. It says anamnesis means remembrance or recollection. Hebrews 10:3, the sin offerings cannot remove sins but remind us of them. 1 Corinthians 11:24, Christians are to enact the Master's Supper, recollection of Yahushua, which has been the form of active representations and action of Yahushua. The disciples repeated.
- Maybe my copy doesn't have the full definition here.

Richard:
- Well, let's see. I'm going to read you this here. It says 1 Corinthians 11:24--I can't read all the Greek words here. In verse 25, it says Christians are to reenact the whole action of the Lord's Supper.
- This in reference to the twofold touto, t-o-u-t-o, in recognition of Jesus and not merely in search--I'm sorry, I can't read very good here. My eyes are so bad, I've got to look at this thing here. Let me get my finger on it here.
- It says, and not merely in such sorts that they simply remember, but in accordance with the active sense of the Greek word. And the explanation in verse 26 in such a way that they actively fulfilled the--they use another Greek word there--by the community of the Lord who instituted the supper and who put on the new covenant by His death.
- In the Goaln, G-o-a-l-n content of the action, they repeat what was done by Jesus and His disciples on the eve of His crucifixion.
- That's what it's saying. They're saying here--and I actually read a little bit of it--there's a whole bunch here, two pages actually--that it was the annual event that was commemorated like you commemorate a wedding, birthday, whatever annual event.

EliYah:
- Right.

Richard:
- I thought it was really very good.

EliYah:
- Interesting. Okay.

Richard:
- Do you have it there, what I just read to you? Did you follow?

EliYah:
- I might have a different Lexicon possibly or an abbreviated version of it here on the computer. Maybe I can look it up.

Richard:
- I copied the page number. Yes, here it is. Volume 1, page 348 and 349. That's it.

EliYah:
- All right, very well.

Richard:
- Is that it? Do you find it?

EliYah:
- I don't have it here with me to look it up physically, but I'll write down the page number.

Richard:
- I'd be willing to fax it to you if you have a fax. I'd just put it in the machine and fax it right to you.

EliYah:
- Okay, that would work. Send me an email, and I'll send you the fax number, and we'll go from there.

Richard:
- I don't have email.

EliYah:
- You don't have email.

Richard:
- No, no, I'm sorry. I'm old age, back in time. Your daughter can give it to me if she wants to.

EliYah:
- That would work.

Richard:
- Do you have to go, or do you have time for one more point?

EliYah:
- Well, I can take one more question.

Richard:
- This is in regard to a talk I'm going to give at a conference we have here this coming week, so I'd like to get your opinion on this. This is from the McClintock and Strong's Encyclopedia, page 529. It defines the word "incarnation." In and carnal flesh, the permanent assumption of a human form by a divine personage. There's a lot more, but that's the main point there.
- How do you define or understand incarnation?

EliYah:
- I've not really thought of it in those terms. I guess a lot of that has to do with the Trinity, the idea that God came in human form.

Richard:
- Yeah, it has to do with the hypostatic union mainly of the incarnation.

EliYah:
- Yeah. I don't know. There would be some differences I'd have with the idea of incarnation. There is nothing in scripture that says He is the heavenly Father incarnated. We start getting these terms and start working within these terms, and we start limiting ourselves with terms that are not found in scripture like Trinity and incarnation, things like that.
- We end up getting thrown off. If we just look at the scriptures and accept everything they say and don't worry about trying to fit it all in some kind of box or something, I think we're better off than focusing on these ideas.
- Incarnation, according to the Bible dictionary, says, "the act of grace whereby Messiah took our human nature into union with His divine person and became man. Messiah is both God and man. Human attributes, actions are predicated of Him, and He of whom they are predicated is God." They say. That's where a lot of confusion comes in with this term "God."

Richard:
- Boy, you're right.

EliYah:
- If we look in the Hebraic and what it was saying in the Hebrew, Elohim, which carries a different meaning than the term God, I think a lot of clarity can come to light, which I mentioned in a study earlier this year. It's called "An Examination of Trinity and Oneness Doctrines." It's February 2 on the transcripts page. I address that very topic.

Richard:
- This year?

EliYah:
- Yeah, that was this year.

Richard:
- Great, okay, good. It's very interesting. Thank you very much for that. I appreciate it.

EliYah:
- All right. Well, thanks for calling in. It's good to hear from you again.

Richard:
- Talk to you later.

EliYah:
- Shalom and blessings to you.

Richard:
- Shalom to you. Bye-bye.

EliYah:
- Shalom. All right, I think that will be our final phone call for this broadcast. In the meantime, there have been some itching questions in the chat room that we're hoping to scratch the surface of. No pun intended here. I know there have been people asking questions, and we're going to try to get to these.
- Somebody asked very early--I think it was even before the broadcast.

Q. Since Yahweh is the heavenly Father, who is the heavenly mother? Can there be a father without a mother?

EliYah:
- I think one thing to keep in mind is that we were created in the image of Elohim. When Adam was created, it appears to me, since He took woman out of man, that if that is what Yahweh is, He is maybe neither male nor female. He's just Elohim. He's Yahweh. I don't know if we put a gender specifically on Him, although He is referred to in masculine verbs.
- I don't get too caught up in the need for a daddy Yahweh and a momma Yahweh. There are some doctrines floating around which promote that idea, suggesting that the Holy Spirit is the mother Yahweh. I don't see that in the scriptures. The reason they say that is because the Holy Spirit is in the feminine form.
- A lot of times there's masculine verbs, and the masculine form is used, as well, in reference to Yahweh's Spirit. It doesn't quite hold water. I wouldn't worry about that.
- If Yahweh came down--there's actually a danger there. Yahweh said not to engage in these Asherahs. The Asherahs were the female consort to various gods out there, male gods. They had a female consort to go along with it, and Yahweh never gave us anything like that.
- When you look at the fact we were originally created in the image of Elohim and that woman was taken out of that, then I think in Yahweh we have everything we need. Don't need a consort alongside there.

Q. Is there a Passover in Nashville?

EliYah:
- I'm not aware of any. Maybe somebody could help that person, if they haven't already. I believe we do have one more phone call. I don't know who it is. I guess I must have missed the person. Mike Jackson from Texas. Then we'll get back to your questions, especially Sam's questions. HalleluYah. Shabbat Shalom, Brother Mike.

Mike:
- Yes, how are you?

EliYah:
- Very well. How are you?

Mike:
- I'm all right. We just started listening a few weeks ago, so I'm really new to the names and everything. My question--I haven't studied Hebrew very much, but I studied Greek quite a bit.
- The New Testament, the apostle Paul and different writings, they use the Ieosus and Christos for God and Christ. I've been taught those were how they were originally written because the only language they were written in originally was Greek.
- I'm confused on the whole name usage. I'm seeking clarification, because we want to do what's right.

EliYah:
- So you're wondering if we need to be using the Hebrew names. Why are they written in Greek form in our New Testament?

Mike:
- Correct.

EliYah:
- There's a growing body of evidence, a very logical evidence that the New Testament was not originally penned in Greek, but in Aramaic or Hebrew. It's a little much for me to go into in the broadcast here, but just to give you a few thoughts and encourage you to look into it further, there are some quotes from church fathers that are pretty unanimous.
- For instance, the book of Matthew was written in Hebrew. Yet, we have it in Greek form today. Somewhere along the line, there was a translation that was made. We don't have the original Hebrew copy of the book of Matthew, but we do have some Hebrew manuscripts of Matthew which appear to be written copies of the original Matthew.
- One of them is called "The Dutillet." You can look that up. It's pretty interesting. One reason why they believe it was not a copy or translation from Greek is that they, unlike the Greek, will have an indicator for where the sacred name originally stood.
- Also, the Aramaic Pasheda [phonetic] uses the form--whenever the name of Yahweh originally stood in the text, they would use MarYah. There are some exceptions to that, but for the most part they would use MarYah. MarYah, some believe, means Master Yah. Mar means Master in Aramaic.
- That's a pretty interesting find, because our Greek New Testament we have today does not have any indicator whatsoever of any difference between where Kurios is speaking of the sacred name Yahweh, even in their quotations of the Old Testament.
- There's over 100 places in the book of Acts, for instance, where it says the Kurios or the Master or the Lord, or however you want to say it, and you don't really know whether it's speaking of the heavenly Father or the Son.
- I actually wrote them down, over 100 places in the New Testament, it's not possible to discern which one, Father or Son. There's definitely a problem with the Greek copies that we have today, although I think they're pretty accurate.
- I think they're reliable enough, but there are some problems when it came to the sacred name and the willingness of certain church fathers to remove that out of the scriptures.
- It started with, I believe, Justin Martyr, and others kind of followed that example. The Aramaic Pasheda is a pretty interesting thing to study. There's an author who actually went into the Pasheda and translated it into English. His name is Andrew Gabriel Roth, I believe, and there are some other translations of Hebrew texts done by James Trimm.
- He has an interesting perspective in a book dealing with the very question of the Semitic origin of the New Testament that has quite a number of good quotes. Even one church father mentioned that Paul, being a Hebrew, wrote in Hebrew, and the things which he eloquently wrote in Hebrew was more eloquently translated into Greek.
- That's one of the church fathers. I can't give you the name offhand, but you can look it up, I'm sure, somewhere on the internet. So these are some of the things that we're finding. I tend to side with the belief that the writers were Aramaic or Hebrew-speaking Jews. Paul and so on. Even Paul wrote, "To the Jew first and then to the Greek."
- There was usually a Jewish population, even in the Greek cities he wrote to. I tend to think the things written in the New Testament were originally written in a Semitic tongue, whether it be Hebrew or Aramaic.

Mike:
- Okay.

EliYah:
- I know it's a loaded thing, especially for someone who's studied a lot of Greek. But I just encourage you to look at the different arguments on that. They're pretty compelling.

Mike:
- Okay.

EliYah:
- Does that answer your question somewhat or did I miss it?

Mike:
- That does that. The only other question I have is during the teaching today, you referred to elohim, the god of this world.

EliYah:
- Yeah, the elohim of this world has blinded and so on. Yep.

Mike:
- So elohim is not necessarily just used for our heavenly Father.

EliYah:
- Oh, no, it's not an exclusive title belonging to the heavenly Father alone. Paul said in one place, "There are many elohim, many masters, but for us there is just one Elohim." There are many that are called elohim, but for us there is one Elohim, the Father, and one Master, Yahushua the Messiah.
- The term is a broad term. It can be in reference to our heavenly Father. He said, "Have no other elohim before me." He was referring to the false elohim that are out there.
- Looking at that, it is a broad term. Maybe I'm missing what you're getting at completely.

Mike:
- That answers that one. So what does God mean?

EliYah:
- Well, I would encourage you to go back and look at the archives where I discuss this question. When someone says the term "God," usually the first thing that comes to mind is the supreme being. Because of that, there has been some confusion. For instance, the oneness doctrine, just different doctrines about who and understanding the nature of our heavenly Father and the Messiah.
- In the Hebrew, elohim can refer to men legitimately and refer to judges and so on. These other doctrines are relying on the exclusivity of only Yahweh alone being worthy of that title in reality, but there are others to whom Yahweh--for instance, in Proverbs 3:27 it says:

Proverbs 3:27 - Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.
- The word translated power is "el" form which we get "elohim." The word "elohim" has a little different connotation to it and a little different meaning than our English word "God." It has to do with might, and power, and strength. For that reason, I think a lot of confusion has come. I just use the word "Elohim" whenever I see the word "God" somewhere in the New Testament or Old Testament.
- I restore that to Elohim, just because there's not really any English equivalent to that word. I think when we understand and study the word "Elohim," and understand the broadness of the meaning, and the fact that it has to do with power and might, maybe mighty one would be a more correct translation. I just go ahead and restore that to Elohim instead.

Mike:
- Okay. All right, I do appreciate you taking my call, and I appreciate your teaching.

EliYah:
- All right, good to hear from you, Mike. Yahweh bless you and your family.

Mike:
- Thanks.

EliYah:
- Shalom. That's the final phone call of the broadcast. We did get some questions here from Sam, and we're going to get to these questions in just a moment. I do need to play a song from the library, and then Sam we'll get to your questions afterward. If there are other people who asked questions, I think Kara has collected those questions for me, and we'll get to those.
- In the meantime, please also, if you have any prayer requests, please mention those in the chat room, and we will get to those. At the conclusion of today's broadcast, we'll offer up prayer unto Yahweh. In the meantime, this next song is "Table in the Wilderness," Tammy Robinson.
- [Music: "Table in the Wilderness"]

EliYah:
- Indeed He does. We partake of that table as we read of His Word and partake of the Messiah this coming week. HalleluYah. Sam's questions. His first one was regarding Matthew 5:3.

Matthew 5:3 - Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
- There are other scriptures that would kind of go along with that idea, which we read earlier today about the ones who are the contrite ones that tremble at His Word.
Isaiah 66:2 - For all those things hath mine hand made, and those things have been, saith YAHWEH: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
- Talking about a humble and afflicted one whose heart is tender before Yahweh. That's what we are called to be, a person who is humble and whose heart is tender towards His Word, toward the things He asks us to do. Those who have that kind of attitude will receive the kingdom of heaven, the kingdom of Yahweh.

Q. So are we helpless because of our sinful state? We cannot save ourselves. If we cannot save ourselves, how are our works contingent for salvation? Does it require anything from us?

EliYah:
- The thing Yahweh requires of us is not necessarily considered to be a work of righteousness as much as it is a change of the heart, a heart of faith.

Q. We are required to have faith. Is that correct?

EliYah:
- Yes, it's correct, obviously. If our heart is tender toward Elohim, that's going to bring about repentance. Out of that belief, out of that faith is going to come repentance. The fact we are required to have a poor and contrite heart in order to receive the kingdom of Yahweh does not mean that we are somehow, by our own power, saving ourselves.
- We had something in our heart. We decided we wanted to be saved. We wanted to draw near to Elohim, and He saved us--not because we were righteous, but because Messiah is righteous, and we received Him. But we have to receive Him. He doesn't just hand out salvation to everybody. We have to have the right heart, and then He will give us salvation.
- That salvation is based on His righteousness and not our own. But our heart is our responsibility, that we do have the right heart toward Elohim. That's not considered to be a work-based salvation, but a faith-based salvation.
- Out of faith comes works, naturally, out of that faith. It's not without works. In other words, we're not saved by works, but unless we have works, we don't really have faith, and if we don't really have faith, we don't really have salvation. Let's see if I have any other questions from Sam, looking down through his words in the chat room.
- It is a free gift. Salvation is a free gift, but it's not given to everybody. There is something required of us, and that is faith and belief. He still gets the glory, because we could have all the faith and belief we want. He could still choose not to save us, but it's because of His mercy that He chose to.
- I think that was the primary points he was bringing up. If he doesn't have Real Player to hear the audio, he can consult the transcripts later. Those questions will be answered there.
- Looking back through the list, I believe there are other questions here.

Q. Where can we purchase a restored name New King James Version?

EliYah:
- I'm not aware of anywhere that can be purchased. A New King James Version that restores the names, that would be problematic in copyrights. It would be nice if there was one out there.
- I thought I saw that Faxchase had a question. Maybe I missed it. Faxchase, if you have a question, please repeat that question. I thought there was one in there, but maybe not. I don't see it in here.
- I think that was all the questions--at least that I have here. If there were any other questions, please repeat them. In the meantime, I'll continue to share your prayer requests. It looks like Decrease asked a question.

Q. Are we planning to have a Feast of Tabernacles 2009?

EliYah:
- There definitely will be a feast. Yahweh willing, I'll be holding one here in Imminence, Missouri, probably again. It won't be written in stone quite yet, but that's the idea, that we'll probably have a feast in Imminence like we've had the last two years. That would be in October.
- If you're looking for the feast dates, Yah's Child, looking for Sukkot or Passover dates, either one can be found at EliYah.com/Calendar. You'll find the Passover, Feast of Unleavened Bread, Shavuot, Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot feasts all mentioned there on EliYah.com/Calendar.
- I think Shacar mentioned she had a question, but I don't see it. Okay. She asked:

Q. How do I explain to my mother about non-believers not being at the Passover?

EliYah:
- So your mother is not a follower of the Messiah. Then I don't know why they would want to be there. I'm not quite understanding the question. If she doesn't believe in observing Passover and being a part of it, I'm not sure why she would want to go. Maybe I'm missing an element there. I'll let you clarify that.
- You can tell Sam--I can't talk and type at the same time--but tell Sam to look on the transcripts for an answer. He's welcome to private message me, as well.
- While we're waiting for Shacar's clarification, we're going to continue to take your prayer requests. We'll share a song here. At the conclusion of the song, we'll clarify an answer to Shacar's question and go into our time of prayer. All right, now I've got Shacar's question.

Q. How do I explain to my mother about non-believers attending Passover? She wants to join my son and I but believes in reincarnation and pagan mixed with some truth.

EliYah:
- I think I would just say it's a very holy, set apart service. It is a time where we are called to gather. It's a very somber occasion, and it's not for everybody. It's in scripture that it's not for everybody. It's for those who have come to faith in the Messiah and who believe there is one Elohim and believe the things Yahweh teaches in scripture.
- Netzarim asked a question about Luke 6:45 and 1 John 4:6.

Luke 6:45 - A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.
1John 4:6 - We are of YAHWEH. He who knows YAHWEH hears us; he who is not of YAHWEH does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
- Luke 6:45, there is nothing good in our hearts. That's why we need to ask Yahweh to give us a new heart. Even David, who was a man after Yahweh's own heart, in Psalm 51, said, "Create in me a clean heart," verse 10.
Psalms 51:10 - Create in me a clean heart, O Elohim; and renew a right spirit within me.
- Yahweh has to create that new heart. He had a heart of lust and that resulted in murder and adultery, and he asked Yahweh to create in him a clean heart, and I believe Yahweh did that for him, and that's what we can do, as well.
- In that sense, it's not our own power. It's the power of Yahweh in us.
1John 4:6 - We are of YAHWEH. He who knows YAHWEH hears us; he who is not of YAHWEH does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
- Regarding that particular scripture, how do we know the spirit of error and the spirit of truth? This is John who is writing, by the Spirit of Yahweh, saying that those who do not hear us are not of Yahweh. They've fallen under a spirit of error.
- He is writing by the inspired work of Yahweh's Spirit. Those willing to hear the words of Yahweh written in scripture are the ones walking in a spirit of truth.
- The ones not speaking words according to the scriptures are of the spirit of error. If we are speaking of that spirit of truth from the scriptures, those who know Yahweh will hear us, and those who do not know Yahweh will not hear us. We'll be able to discern the spirit of truth and spirit of error they may be walking in--one or the other. I think that answers those two questions.

Q. Would this also reference Shaul's words of the delusion, as well?

EliYah:
- I think so, because our heart is bent on following unrighteousness, and if we are willing to let Yahweh change our heart, and willing to be sensitive and listen to His Word, then we won't receive that delusion. If we love the truth, then we won't receive that delusion.
- But if we have pleasure in unrighteousness and we're not really interested in truth, then we may end up following a delusion. That's a very dangerous place to be thinking that you're serving Elohim, and you're not. That's a very dangerous place. Yahweh, help us.
- We're going to share another song from the library. This one is "Yom Kippur" by Steve McConnell. We will conclude the broadcast today with your prayers. Continue to share your prayer requests.
- [Music: "Yom Kippur," "I'm Nothing Without You"]

EliYah:
- HalleluYah. Blessed be the name of Yahweh.

Q. Does Mexican food have yeast?

EliYah:
- Some of the tortilla shells do not have yeast. Maybe it depends on the particular restaurant or whatever. I encourage you to ask about the ingredients or look them up online. You can determine whether or not it does. I believe Taco Bell has no leaven in their tortilla shells, if I'm not mistaken. I could be wrong.
- Just look it up online. They have all the ingredients listed. See what is present and what isn't.
- Definitely a good time being with you all. I enjoyed it. May Yahweh be with you. We love you all. Shabbat Shalom to your homes.
