Today's Study Title: "Seeking the Wisdom of Yahweh"

EliYah:
- And our first caller of the day, I believe, is Brother Curtis. Shabbat Shalom, brother.

Curtis:
- Shabbat Shalom.

EliYah:
- Are you with us?

Curtis:
- Hello.

EliYah:
- Hello.

Curtis:
- Hello.

EliYah:
- Hold on just one minute.

Curtis:
- Shabbat Shalom.

EliYah:
- Hold one minute. Okay, are you with us?

Curtis:
- Shabbat Shalom.

EliYah:
- For some reason, there's some kind of a feedback. Try calling in again, okay?

Curtis:
- Shabbat Shalom. Are you talking to me?

EliYah:
- Yeah.

Curtis:
- Okay.

EliYah:
- Thank you. All right. The first call, for some reason, did not come through properly. I believe we have Marie Fagans. Is that right?

Marie:
- Shabbat Shalom.

EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom to you. How are you doing?

Marie:
- Am I feeding back?

EliYah:
- It looks like you both are. Hold on just one minute. All right, is this any better?

Marie:
- Can you hear me now?

EliYah:
- Okay. I believe we've got that fixed. Are you there?

Marie:
- Yeah.

EliYah:
- All right, welcome to the broadcast, Sister Marie.

Marie:
- Hello.

EliYah:
- Shalom. Can you hear me?

Marie:
- Can you hear me?

EliYah:
- I hear you. Can you hear me?

Marie:
- Yeah. [laughs] Like them commercials.

EliYah:
- All right.

Marie:
- I've got Elaine that wants to talk, but she'll be here in just a few minutes. I just want to say hi to everybody out there. Today is the first time I didn't have to run off at 1:00 to be somewhere by 1:30 for live services.

EliYah:
- I see.

Marie:
- And I enjoyed today's lesson.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Marie:
- I wanted to ask about the halo thing. You mentioned about the halo.

EliYah:
- Yeah.

Marie:
- Is that a bad thing?

EliYah:
- Yeah. The halo actually is rooted in--it's a round disk, which is shaped like the sun.

Marie:
- Okay.

EliYah:
- And it finds its origin in sun worship. You'll notice in some of the paintings they depict the Messiah and other saints or whatever as having this halo behind their head.

Marie:
- Yeah, but it has nothing to do with Yahweh's melech, the real angels?

EliYah:
- No. Although you've got to be careful, because there are some depictions of what people call an angel, and it's actually the goddess Nike.

Marie:
- Right. They've got a new song out called "Halo," and everybody is really getting into it. That's what I was wondering.

EliYah:
- Oh, I don't know anything about that, but the word--actually, the halo has its origins in paganism, not in the scriptures. Some people are surprised to hear that because of the close connotation that you see halos with people that are in the Bible in different depictions and so on.

Marie:
- That's what I was getting ready to ask next. Are there any scriptures that talk about that word?

EliYah:
- Nowhere, nothing that talks about the halo in scripture.

Marie:
- Well, anyway, as I said, I have a friend over. Her name is Elaine. There's a couple of people we met during the Passover at Jerry's house that are online with you right now. I can't remember--Mike--and I don't know. I might be getting that wrong.
- Anyway, they're on there listening. I met their mom and dad. Of course, Elaine is new coming in to the name and everything. She's got a soft voice and everything. I'm going to put her on the phone.

EliYah:
- Okay.

Marie:
- Shabbat Shalom to everybody.

EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom to you.

Marie:
- All right.

Elaine:
- Hello.

EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom.

Elaine:

EliYah:
- This is Elaine?

Elaine:
- Yes, uh-huh.

EliYah:
- Okay. Are you also in the chat room as Elaine?

Elaine:
- Yes, Marie put me down in there. I told Marie that I'm not too much on computers. [laughs]

EliYah:
- Well, that's okay.

Elaine:
- I'm kind of like a--yeah, kind of like a foreign thing to me. [laughs]

EliYah:
- Yeah, there's actually quite a few listeners that listen in through the telephone.

Elaine:
- Oh, yeah, I seen that on there. Yeah.

EliYah:
- We're glad to have you as a listener to the broadcast. Did you hear most of today's message?

Elaine:
- Yeah, we heard most of it. Her computer was cutting out some, but yeah we heard most of it.

EliYah:
- Very good.

Elaine:
- Uh-huh.

EliYah:
- Glad to hear that. Are you new to some of these things?

Elaine:
- Well, I have been keeping the Sabbath and trying to keep the feast days for about three years.

EliYah:
- Very good.

Elaine:
- I had met this man, and he told me about these things and told me about Christmas and Easter, so then I started looking it up, the history of Christmas and Easter, and I was just amazed on how it all got started.
- When I was a kid, my mother was a Catholic, but when she got married and moved away from her home, she started reading for herself, and I remember her telling me about the Passover and about unleavened bread, and so when this man was telling me about it, it's not like I had never heard of it.
- So I already knew quite a bit about it, because my mother had told me, and about the clean foods. My mother passed away when she was 83, and she would not eat any pork or anything, any unclean foods. And I was always trying to get her to, but she wouldn't do it. So I always knew about the clean foods and stuff like that.

EliYah:
- You had people Yahweh put in your life to sow little seeds along the way.

Elaine:
- Yeah, yeah, I did. Then when I had met this man, he was the first person that I had heard say anything about this, other than my mother. And I was like, "Oh, yeah, I already know about this." But I was a kid and a teenager, and I told my mother, "Well, nobody else does that. You know? It's not for now."

EliYah:
- Uh-huh.

Elaine:
- Marie told me to tell you I'm from Texarkana, Texas.

EliYah:
- Okay.

Elaine:
- But I knew a lot about it, but you know how you go through life and you kind of put things in the back of your mind, but then when this man started telling me about things, then I was like, "Oh, yeah, I already know about that." And I didn't know anybody done that, you know. [laughs]
- So I got started--well, both of my--I've been married twice, and both of my husbands passed away in the same year, in 2005.

EliYah:
- Wow.

Elaine:
- And that's when I really started seeking and seeking the truth, started reading the Bible for myself.

EliYah:
- It's amazing what happens when we say, "You know what, I'm just going to set aside all these things, different teachings here, teachings there, and just read the Bible for what it says."

Elaine:
- That's right, that's right.

EliYah:
- It's amazing what happens.

Elaine:
- And you know, we can learn so much from history, too, how things got started.

EliYah:
- Right.

Elaine:
- And it's really amazing how all this came about.

EliYah:
- The encouraging thing for me is the number of people that have come into--that have done just that and said, "I've heard this person teach that, this person teach this, and Christians teach this, and all these other things, but I think I'm just going to open the Word, open the scriptures, and let Yahweh teach me.

Elaine:
- That's right.

EliYah:
- And the ones who do that come to these understandings that Yahweh didn't abolish His own wisdom.

Elaine:
- Yeah.

EliYah:
- He didn't do away with His own teaching.

Elaine:
- Exactly.

EliYah:
- So these are some of the things that we come into when we're willing to just set aside the traditions of men and just cleave to Yahweh and His Word.

Elaine:
- Mm-hm. Well, in my lifetime, I guess I'm kind of unique, because I've had some really amazing experiences with Yahweh. My son, in '85, was on a motorcycle, and a truck pulled a cattle trailer rig completely over him, and he was in a coma for about two weeks.
- And all I did was pray and seek my heavenly Father--of course, I called Him God back then.
- And I'd go in the bathroom and shut the door. And one night, it seemed like the whole room lit up, and I could--it was like somebody was talking to me in my mind. It wasn't me thinking. It was this other entity entered my mind and said, "Hey, I'm here. Whatever you need to know, ask." And it was an awesome experience.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Elaine:
- It was. I'll never forget. And I always said if I ever doubted Him, that was more than enough proof right there that He does exist.

EliYah:
- Right.

Elaine:
- And I've always had these dreams, and I even had a vision after I came into keeping the Sabbath. And when I was just learning about not doing the holidays, doing the holy days, I had really an awesome vision, and it scared me. It really scared me.
- But what it was, my mother had a cross, because her family was Catholic. Even though she got away from it and didn't go to the Catholic church, she still had this crucifix, and it was very old. So I had it hanging in my bedroom, and it just started bothering me.
- I was laying in bed, and I was facing it at night. I was laying there trying to go to sleep, and I was fully awake, and I had this vision.

EliYah:
- You still there? You had a vision?

Elaine:
- Uh-huh. And anyway, yeah, I had this vision, and it--what had happened--well, anyway, it was kind of strange, because I seen like this circle, and I seen these clouds go by. I had my eyes closed, and I was seeing this. And I seen some kids like playing in the street.
- And then after awhile, then I seen these two rows of men on each side of the road, and I guess they were like bowing down or something. And then all of a sudden the clouds went by again, and then it just got real, real dark.
- I got so scared, and it was like trying to draw me into this dark hole. And I thought it was Satan trying to draw me in there, and I got so scared. I opened my eyes, and then every time I closed them, I was still seeing this. I felt an evilness, the wickedness so bad. I felt it, and I was so scared.
- I thought it was hell. I didn't know. So this man that was telling me about the truth and all, I remember him saying, "Just start praying to rebuke Satan." So I started praying, and I guess I was awake until about 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning when I finally felt at ease, and I finally went to sleep.
- What was really amazing, though, I told him about that vision I had, and I said, "Is it from Satan or is it from God?" That's what I called Him then. I said, "Is it Satan or God?" And he was like, he said, "I don't know." I said, "I don't know either. I don't know what it means. I don't know why I had that."
- So, anyway, it was like three or four days later, and I was listening to a radio station. I listen to it when I take my daughters to school I was still searching for the truth. I got home, and I turned the radio on, and I was listening to these callers calling in, and they were talking about something, and it was in Ezekiel.
- So I turned to Ezekiel 8, and it was just like these few words just jumped off the page at me, and I seen that Ezekiel looked in the hole in the wall and seen what they were doing.

EliYah:
- Right, abominations they were doing.

Elaine:
- Right, yeah. And I was like, that's what my vision was. And then it talked about the carvings on the wall and what they were doing in the dark.

EliYah:
- Yeah, there's great abominations happening in the world today. There are some things that we all have to be careful that we're not getting into our practices.

Elaine:
- Yeah, that's right.

EliYah:
- Such as the halo and different things.

Elaine:
- Uh-huh. I had this woman that we do the services with over at Jerry's house.

EliYah:
- Yeah.

Elaine:
- Her name is Janette. She loaned me a book about "Fossilized Customs."

EliYah:
- "Fossilized Customs," mm-hm.

Elaine:
- Uh-huh. And I believe it had a thing in there about the halo.

EliYah:
- Yeah, it probably does. Actually, even if you look it up on Wikipedia on the internet, if you do that, they'll even give you a little history on it. You can find some of the pagan origins.

Elaine:
- Yeah, where all that comes from.

EliYah:
- But we definitely all come from a variety of backgrounds, but Yahweh binds us together through our love for truth and our willingness to try to walk out the things that Yahweh teaches us. It's good to hear that Yahweh is calling you and continuing to teach you.

Elaine:
- Oh, yeah, He's calling me, and I could talk for days of testimonies, the things that He's done in my life.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Elaine:
- Yeah, I praise Him. I just got to buy me a house this week, and I have been praising Him and praising Him. I have felt the love of Him so much this week, it's just undescribable.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Elaine:
- Yeah.

EliYah:
- Well, it's great to hear from you and from the Fagans. I appreciate you calling in. We're going to get to another call here. We've got Avigail Tikva [phonetic] waiting on the line.

Elaine:
- Okay, I'm sorry I took so long.

EliYah:
- No, we enjoyed hearing from you. Yahweh bless you, as you continue to seek His will.

Elaine:
- Okay. May Yahweh bless you, too.

EliYah:
- Thank you. Shabbat Shalom to you.

Elaine:
- Okay, thank you.

EliYah:
- Bye.

Elaine:
- Bye.

EliYah:
- And I believe we have line one now available if you'd like to call in toll free, 866-435-4924 or 417-683-3575. We have Avigail Tikva. Shabbat Shalom.

Avigail:
- Shabbat Shalom. This is my second time of listening to your live service here, and I'm just really, really blessed. I just want to thank you for this blessing, just to come together with everybody.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Avigail:
- Last week I asked for a prayer request for my older children. When I was raising them, I didn't know Yahweh, and now that my oldest [inaudible] before I had come to know Yahweh, and I just had kind of a testimony I wanted to share, and then I have a prayer request.

EliYah:
- Sounds good.

Avigail:
- Last week when I asked for prayer, and you guys all prayed, everybody in the room, and then my 20-year-old son came home, and he's reading Torah with me, but he's doing it because mom is doing it. He doesn't really, I don't feel, deeply in his heart to really make that decision yet.
- So he's hanging out with his older brother and sister. So they're buying things on the Sabbath and doing things. He knows from scriptures. So he came home, and he stopped at the fast food restaurant, and this was right after last Shabbat, right after you all prayed, within one hour.
- And he came home, and he said, "Mom, I'm not buying anything on Shabbat anymore." And he just felt so convicted not to ever buy anything on Shabbat anymore.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Avigail:
- And it's like right after you all prayed.

EliYah:
- That's great, glad to hear that. And...

Avigail:
- And--go on.

EliYah:
- Go ahead.

Avigail:
- Well, I just wanted to share that. I know it's all coming together for him. I just continue to read. I ask that you continue to pray for my older children so that they will come to know and walk this walk with Yahweh.

EliYah:
- All right, we're going to add them to prayer. What's their names?

Avigail:
- My oldest son is Shann.

EliYah:
- Shann.

Avigail:
- Shann, S-h-a-n-n.

EliYah:
- Okay.

Avigail:
- And my daughter is Louisa.

EliYah:
- Louisa.

Avigail:
- And then my other son is Chris.

EliYah:
- Chris.

Avigail:
- Uh-huh. And here's my other prayer request. Last night, my grandbaby, she's like six months old, and she started having seizures, and I was over there at the house--and I normally don't go over there on Sabbath, but I was over there visiting for a little bit, and she started having seizures immediately while I was there.
- They took her to the hospital, and they were in the hospital all night. I live in Juneau, Alaska, so our medical facilities are pretty limited here. And so the doctors couldn't find anything, what's going on. So they're looking to fly them down to Children's Hospital in Washington. So this is what's going on this morning right now.
- I'm calling for prayers that they can find out what's going on and that we don't lose her. She's six months old.

EliYah:
- Okay, definitely do that. Is this the first time it's happened?

Avigail:
- Yes, it is. I was there last night, and it just started happening while I was there, so that was pretty scary. Her name is Shiva.

EliYah:
- Shiva.

Avigail:
- Uh-huh. S-h-i-v-a. Shiva.

EliYah:
- Shiva, okay.

Avigail:
- And I asked her dad, I didn't know if he knew there is a heavenly Father. And he said, no, he doesn't believe there is a God. And so I just keep praying. I've been having my kids on the prayer list, and that they can see through me, too, my walk, how much I have changed from the worldly ways.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Avigail:
- That they can see His love, from me and my walk, that maybe they'll come to know Him. I don't know if this little girl being sick might be the key, that he'll come to know Him, our heavenly Father, but I also pray that we don't lose her.

EliYah:
- Right, right. Okay, we'll add them to prayer. It's so true, sometimes it takes family members seeing somebody walking it out to realize how real it is.

Avigail:
- Yeah, yeah, I hope so.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah. All right, well, we'll keep you in prayer, and the grandbaby, and Shann, Louisa, Chris. The grandbaby's name is Shiva. We have them on the prayer list today, and we'll all pray together for them.
- I should mention also, for those of you listening, that I write these things down on a prayer list, and they remain on that list. So if during the week, if you remember these prayers during the week and not just on Shabbat, but remember the prayer list we've collected here on the broadcast.
- We've got prayers going back about a year and a half now. We've been making this list, so ask Yahweh to remember the prayer list.

Avigail:
- Thank you. Okay, well, you all be blessed, and I wish you all Shabbat Shalom.

EliYah:
- All right. And Shabbat Shalom to you.

Avigail:
- Okay. Shalom, shalom. Bye-bye.

EliYah:
- Avigail calling from, I think from Alaska. Pretty amazing, people from all over calling in. I believe we have another phone call, this one, line one from AniYah [phonetic]. Is that right?

AniYah:
- Yes.

EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom, brother.

AniYah:
- Shabbat Shalom.

EliYah:
- Welcome to the broadcast. Do you have a comment or a question?

AniYah:
- Yeah, did you get my email this morning about the Fellowship Finder problem?

EliYah:
- An email this morning.

AniYah:
- Yeah, I sent you another one this morning, yeah.

EliYah:
- No, I don't see anything here.

AniYah:
- I sent it to the server Disciple.

EliYah:
- To disciple@EliYah.com?

AniYah:
- Yeah.

EliYah:
- Maybe try using the web form on the internet.

AniYah:
- Huh?

EliYah:
- Try using the form.

AniYah:
- Oh, use the form to send it?

EliYah:
- Yeah, try that.

AniYah:
- Well, I was responding to your reply. You were asking me "Is this your ad, or is this your entry?"

EliYah:
- Right.

AniYah:
- "Shalom, is this your entry on Fellowship Finder?"

EliYah:
- Yes.

AniYah:
- Yeah, I was responding to that.

EliYah:
- Okay, is that your entry?

AniYah:
- Yes.

EliYah:
- Okay. Now that I know that, I can work with that and help you find the person that's trying to contact you.

AniYah:
- Also, is it possible to just program it so that any response can go directly to our inbox to avoid further distractions of your time?

EliYah:
- You mean just to email you directly?

AniYah:
- No, I'm saying when somebody responds, is there a way you can program it to just go direct to our inbox, because this is distractions to your time.

EliYah:
- Oh, well, it does go directly to your inbox, but the issue I think might be that you're trying to log in, and maybe you don't have the correct login information. So I'll go...

AniYah:
- Yeah, when I start to log in, it says I have the wrong password. And according to you, you said delete all your cookies, and I did that, and nothing still.

EliYah:
- What I'll do is send you the correct login information. You'll be able to access your inbox from that point.

AniYah:
- Okay, I'm very interested in finding out who is trying to, you know...

EliYah:
- Okay.

AniYah:
- Shabbat Shalom. Thank you so much.

EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom to you, as well.

AniYah:
- Do you want me to wait until the end of the program to kind of finish up with you, like we did last week, the emailing back and forth to make sure it's corrected today? Please.

EliYah:
- Okay.

AniYah:
- Okay, I'll be waiting at the end of the calling to receive your email, and I appreciate it.

EliYah:
- All right, you're welcome.

AniYah:
- Shabbat Shalom.

EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom. All right, a little problem there with the Fellowship Finder. If you are in need of Fellowship in your area, you go to EliYah.com and look on the left hand side. You'll see a link called Fellowship Finder. If you click that and then click your state, there may be somebody there who is already meeting in your town or neighborhood, or at least close by.
- Maybe you can find fellowship locally, or you can list yourself there in the Fellowship Finder where other people can contact you--trying to bring people together in Yahweh. HalleluYah. I believe we have Brother Bill on line two. Shabbat Shalom to you.

Female voice:
- Can you hear me okay? Wrong line.

EliYah:
- Wrong line, okay. I'll try the other line. All right, Brother Bill, line two. Shabbat Shalom.

Bill:
- Hey, Shabbat Shalom, Tom. Long time no talk. How are you doing?

EliYah:
- Yeah, how are you doing? I'm doing good.

Bill:
- I'm doing okay. When you were talking about the grafting in, the re-grafting in, I should say.

EliYah:
- Yes.

Bill:
- Of the Israelites. I was looking at a parable. There actually was [inaudible], but this one is kind of along with what you were saying.

EliYah:
- Okay.

Bill:
- I'm in the book of Luke, chapter 20. He starts with a parable at verse 9 where He's talking about that very thing. He says:

Luke 20:9 - Then began he to speak to the people this parable; A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it forth to husbandmen, and went into a far country for a long time.

Luke 20:10 - And at the season he sent a servant to the husbandmen, that they should give him of the fruit of the vineyard: but the husbandmen beat him, and sent him away empty.

Luke 20:11 - And again he sent another servant: and they beat him also, and entreated him shamefully, and sent him away empty.

Luke 20:12 - And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast him out.

Luke 20:13 - Then said the master of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence him when they see him.

Luke 20:14 - But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours.

Luke 20:15 - So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. What therefore shall the master of the vineyard do unto them?

Luke 20:16 - He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard it, they said, Let it not be.

Luke 20:17 - And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner?

Luke 20:18 - Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.

EliYah:
- Right.

Bill:
- They did all those terrible things against them because of the way things were going with them, and that's what their representation is of what you were talking about.
- It's awesome how it correlates with what Yahushua said and how it show us that when we are finally walking in the completeness of the Gentiles, which we know is going to happen because He says in the Word He's waiting on it.
- That's what He's waiting for, for the Israelis to be grafted back into their own tree and for the end to come. It's also when the Gospel will go forth throughout the whole entire world then. But somebody don't realize. And He's also going to do it in His real name, Yahushua, not in any other name, because that's the name of salvation. Right?

EliYah:
- Right.

Bill:
- That just made me smile when I heard that, because I was reading that yesterday and this morning. He was showing me that so I could share it. I think it's a blessing when you read something, and you're listening to somebody minister on the same thing, how He opens up the door and kind of gives us the revelations on that and just kind of really teaches it. I love that stuff.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah. Yeah. In fact, I was reading from this chapter here this morning. So we're all connected together, the same Spirit teaching all of us.

Bill:
- That's right. There was another thing He was showing me. This is actually in the same chapter where He talks about the Pharisees or the Sadducees trying to deceive Him or to trick Him, where He says in verse 27:

Luke 20:27 - Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him,

Luke 20:28 - Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother.

Luke 20:29 - There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children.

Luke 20:30 - And the second took her to wife, and he died childless.

Luke 20:31 - And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died.

EliYah:
- Mm-hm.

Bill:
- Well, in this instance, He says:

Luke 20:34 - And Yahushua answering said unto them, The children of this world marry, and are given in marriage:

Luke 20:35 - But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:

Luke 20:36 - Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of Elohim, being the children of the resurrection.

EliYah:
- Right.

Bill:
- I use the word dispensation, I just use that as a term.

EliYah:
- I understand.

Bill:
- Yeah, but anyway I thought that was beautiful, because a lot of women are lost and don't know it, being in the world. He says in 1 Peter that Adam didn't transgress, but Eve was the one who was in transgression. She is the one who sinned, but she shall be saved. I'm trying to go verbatim, but I'm forgetting the words. She shall be saved if they together persevere and live sober and righteous lives.
- That was an opening for a lot of people to have an understanding about women having their salvation only being in their husbands. Right? That's the Old Testament thinking, according to His Word, because the woman could not have favor without--I know in the Old Testament they had...

EliYah:
- He did tell them you don't know the scriptures. He said you don't know the scriptures. In other words, the things they were teaching in this area were for a lack of ignorance of the scriptures.

Bill:
- Right, right.

EliYah:
- In another parallel passage He says, "You do err, not knowing the scriptures."

Bill:
- Right.

EliYah:
- And so even from their perspective, they weren't accurately presenting the Word of Yahweh any time, whether Old or New Testament.

Bill:
- Right.

EliYah:
- And let me find that scripture.

Bill:
- Yeah, He was reproving them in that. They were making so many mistakes.

EliYah:
- He says:

Matthew 22:29 - Yahushua answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of YAHWEH.

Matthew 22:30 - For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of YAHWEH in heaven.

Bill:
- Right. I think this one opens it up a little bit more, though.

EliYah:
- Mm-hm, yeah.

Bill:
- It gives more explanation on it than the other one.

EliYah:
- Yeah, Luke does a little more explaining.

Bill:
- Yeah. I think that's awesome how he explained that, because the Old Testament kind of shows that because of joining of souls, man and wife, the man being the head, woman being the helpmate, and supposed to be the lesser of the two--even Corinthians says that. Man was made for the glory of Elohim, and woman was made for the glory of man.
- It's all His purpose and His way, and some people get an understanding away from that, but this tells us right here that the woman is also going to be as one of the angels in heaven. That's a wonderful thing, but they've got to be walking in the Spirit and walking in His Word, and they've got to learn of Him and also be born again, as it says in the Word, right?

EliYah:
- Amein.

Bill:
- Otherwise, they're under the Old Testament, and then they have to worry about that mean old husband. Right?

EliYah:
- Us imperfect me.

Bill:
- Yeah, well, we all learn, right?

EliYah:
- Yeah.

Bill We all came out of there, so we're all going to be walking epistles and examples of His Word.:

EliYah:
- Yahweh help us.

Bill:
- Yeah, yeah. His mercy and grace is great, isn't it?

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Bill:
- Well, I'm going to let you go so you can talk to somebody else. I just wanted to share that.

EliYah:
- All right, we appreciate you calling and sharing that with us. Yahweh bless. How are your daughters doing?

Bill:
- They're doing really good. They're doing really good. Their mom has them this weekend. I get them every other weekend or every weekend or whenever she actually kind of isn't planning on doing something. They're doing really good. They're growing like sprouts. They know Yahushua, which is one of the most important things.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Bill:
- As a matter of fact, my oldest daughter, she has a lot of friends, and she says some of her friends that she knows, they aren't believers. She even asks them. She witnesses to them and tells them Yahushua's name and stuff, and so does my youngest one. As a matter of fact, her day care where she's at, all the kids know the name Yahushua because of her.

EliYah:
- That's great.

Bill:
- Yeah, isn't it? I thought so, too.

EliYah:
- You never know where those seeds will sprout, and somebody will water and it's awesome.

Bill:
- That's right. Yah is awesome. He's able to do it. That's for sure.

EliYah:
- Amein.

Bill:
- Well, thanks for keeping me in prayer. I really appreciate that.

EliYah:
- We'll do that. Yahweh bless you and your family. Good to talk to you, Bill.

EliYah:

Bill:
- You, too. Thank you.

EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom.

Bill:
- Yahweh bless you guys, too. Bye-bye.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah. Brother Bill--I think from Indiana or Illinois, one of the two I's. I believe Sister Tahar on line one. Shabbat Shalom to you.

Tahar:
- Shabbat Shalom. How are you?

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

Tahar:
- We're hanging in.

EliYah:
- We really appreciate your prayer emails.

Tahar:
- Oh, halleluYah. Praise Yahweh.

EliYah:
- They've been a real encouragement to us. Thank you.

Tahar:
- Oh, not a problem. I guess it's been a couple of weeks ago. Well, like I was telling Kara, for awhile now, probably since before Passover, Yahweh has just been having us really look at scriptures. You know how a lot of times in our walk we just kind of quote scripture, and we believe that's what our faith is about, but we don't really know why we believe it.
- He's been really having us look deeper into scripture and showing us a lot of things. A couple of weeks ago we were really convicted about the fact that we weren't able to reach out to brethren. Hope, I guess, is the best word. Yohanan and I both were just really convicted about prayer. This actually started awhile ago.
- Oftentimes I say this, and I've heard other brethren say, "Oh, well, I can't do anything but pray, but I'll pray for you." That is such a powerful tool that Yahweh has given us. He's been really convicting us about that.
- I've been thinking about, I believe it was Peter that was at the Gate Beautiful, and he said, "Gold and silver I have not, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Yahushua..." And it was his words.
- So many times, prayer is such a magnificent tool we've been given, and I think that's the first thing that the enemy does is tries to close our mouth. We've been really convicted about that. Not only in our lives because of some struggles we've been going through, but other brethren.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Tahar:
- Praise Yahweh for that, that He's given us that. Literally, it's going to the throne room.

EliYah:
- And it costs us nothing.

Tahar:
- Exactly.

EliYah:
- And it does so much. Thank you.

Tahar:
- Oh, no, it's Yahweh. It's totally Him. It's only by His Spirit that we can pray. I just wanted to encourage everyone. A lot of people are constantly focusing on the horrible times we're living in and all this stuff going on around us.
- I can't remember the address, but there's a few verses that talk about--there's one verse that Yahushua said when the soldier's ear was cut off, "Those who live by the sword shall die by the sword."
- I think it's not only that. It's how we choose to live. Whatever we live by, if we choose to live by our riches, we'll die by our riches. I've been really thinking about how so many people constantly talk about and give glory to the enemy.
- Eventually, that will get them, if that's what they choose to focus on. I want to focus on what Yahweh's doing, because His Word promises so many times that He will deliver His faithful and help us to get through it.
- I've been really trying to focus on that. Last night I was fellowshipping with a sister, and she did the random scripture, and it brought up Matthew 15:19. Again, it's one of those scriptures we've read a million times, but we've been trying to figure out how to witness to Christians.
- Matthew 15 talks about the condition of our heart and all these things, all these wicked things our heart will do. I was thinking about your teaching about the condition of our hearts and how many times people say, "Oh, Yahweh knows my heart."
- It's like, yeah, have you read Matthew 15? It's just not to depend on our flesh but by His Spirit. That's the only way we can do anything is by His Spirit.

EliYah:

Matthew 15:19 - For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

Matthew 15:20 - These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.

Tahar:
- Yeah, that's right.

EliYah:
- Yahweh can cleanse our heart of those things.

Tahar:
- Yeah, He sends the Spirit to live in our heart, to redo our heart. That's just absolutely incredible, that He can change us like that.

EliYah:
- We need that heart transplant, don't we?

Tahar:
- Yeah, definitely.

EliYah:
- I think we were looking at Psalm 51 this week about David when he had done the thing he had done, he wrote this prayer, and he said, "Create in me a clean heart."

Tahar:
- Yeah, that's right.

EliYah:
- So it's something Yahweh has to create in us.

Tahar:
- Yeah. HalleluYah.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Tahar:
- Yeah, the Psalms are just so--I mean, you can read them over and over and over again. Then you turn away, and then you read the same Psalm again. It's like, "Oh, my gosh, I didn't see that the first five times I read it." It's just so incredible, His Word, how it's endless.
- I praise Him so much. He reached down to some miserable people--especially, I don't know, I guess I've been really seeing the United States, how selfish, how incredibly selfish we are and so self-focused, and how He still has blessed us so tremendously and keeps reaching out.
- It's like He did with Israel and how thankful we all need to be. He didn't have to do that. He didn't have to send His Son. The other thing Yohanan and I were talking about is how so many people will justify their avoiding the law, because Yahushua died for all that.
- We were talking about how if we were to minister to a Christian to say, "Well, He didn't have to die. If that's all you wanted was Him to forgive your sin, He didn't have to die for that. He did that while He was walking on this earth. Why did He truly have to die?"
- It's just been a real overwhelming thing for us to see why He had to pay the price. Because we refused to obey our Father.

EliYah:
- That's a loaded question. There's a lot written actually in the prophets about that. The time when Yahushua was talking to the two on the road to Emmaus and opened to them the scriptures, and He said, "Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Messiah to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."
- Actually, that wasn't the road to Emmaus. That's when He fed them the broiled fish.

Tahar:
- Yeah, but Emmaus, too. He opened up the deepest part of the Word, which is the thing people had turned away from.

EliYah:
- He said their hearts burned within them as He shared the scriptures to them. I would have loved to have been there to hear all what He had to say.

Tahar:
- Oh, I know, I know. It would have been incredible. HalleluYah.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah. Well, definitely, we need to give ourselves to the ministry and prayer. The book of Acts talks about how they were devoted to prayer and ministry of the Word.

Tahar:
- Yeah.

EliYah:
- That's chapter 6, verse 3. It says--start at verse 2--I'll read four verses.

Acts 6:1 - And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.

Acts 6:2 - Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of YAHWEH, and serve tables.

Acts 6:3 - Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.

Acts 6:4 - But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.

Tahar:
- HalleluYah.

EliYah:
- Sometimes I think the prayer end of it needs a lot of improvement, and sometimes the ministry of the actual Word more so than the words of men needs some improvement, as well.

Tahar:
- Yeah. It's really awesome when you pray the scripture. We don't have the words. We've seen some awesome incredible blessings through the Psalms. When it says he or she--if we're praying for a certain person, we'll put their name in there. It's just so incredible that He even does that for us.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Tahar:
- HalleluYah. Yahweh bless you guys. I hope that you continue to feel better. I know it's hard when you have summer colds. They're so miserable.

EliYah:
- Yeah, and the flu thing going around.

Tahar:
- Yeah.

EliYah:
- I think that's what we ended up catching.

Tahar:
- Oh, no. I think somebody else wants to say something to you. Yahweh bless you guys. Yohanan and I give all of you hugs. We love you very much.

EliYah:
- All right, we love you guys. Shabbat Shalom to your homes.

Tahar:
- Shabbat Shalom. Hold on.

EliYah:
- All right.

Don:
- Hey, brother, what's happening?

EliYah:
- Hey, it sounds like Don Baco [phonetic].

Don:
- You've got it.

EliYah:
- How are you doing, brother?

Don:
- Good. How was your feast?

EliYah:
- We had a good time, lots of good fellowship. We went and spent some time with the Waller, Tommy Waller group.

Don:
- Okay.

EliYah:
- They had something they called Family Week in addition to the feast. Just had a really good time of fellowship.

Don:
- Oh, good.

EliYah:
- How about you?

Don:
- Saw your little buddy. We stayed at the J Motel out in Fryerstown [phonetic].

EliYah:
- Oh, is that right?

Don:
- And then we took a daytrip down to Philly and saw my friends, the Opessis [phonetic], and went down to Delaware and spent the night with Frank Kennedy. He's been in this for a couple of years. He does this conference call ministry. I get on and visit him every once in awhile, but he's on the same time that you're on.

EliYah:
- I see.

Don:
- So, yeah, a good time was had by all, got a lot of blessings. There was some strange things that worked out, that Yahweh had His hand on. There was a homeless guy that we had met that kind of had a little bit of falling out with the assembly, and Yahweh used us to get him a place to stay. I thought that was a pretty good deal.

EliYah:
- Good.

Don:
- It was a matter of a shopping trip for matza. We had went to a store we knew in Lebanon, Pennsylvania, and they were out of them. It was a store with a name like Weiss, which would have been a Hebrew name. I figured for sure they'd have matza, right, but they didn't. So we had to go to the next store.
- When we went there, when I went in the one store, I came out, and the fella there was actually sleeping on a bench out there. He had seen us pull up, and he came over, and we were able to bless him with a little bit of money, and I gave him a box of matza, because he said he knew it was feast time.
- He was showing us how people were giving him offerings of food. If it was unclean, he set it over in the trash can. And he knew it as unleavened bread, so he put that all over there. He showed me the collection of stuff that people had given him that he couldn't use. So I thought it was pretty neat.
- There was a fella that showed up at Alex's house the night before looking for him, because he was having an issue with a fella that he had put up that was homeless and refused to do anything to help or get any--he refused to leave. He threatened to burn down the place, and the guy came to see Alex, if he knew where this other fella was.
- Alex hadn't seen him. I guess Yahweh wanted us to get ahold of him.

EliYah:
- Wow.

Don:
- And so we put them together, and now he has a place to stay.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah!

Don:
- Yeah, how about that?

EliYah:
- That's neat.

Don:
- Yeah, praise Yahweh.

EliYah:
- Amazing. Yahweh puts us in contact with just the right people at just the right time.

Don:
- That's it. Hold on a second, Tom.

EliYah:
- Okay. I guess we've got somebody else.

Don:
- Getting some feedback on here. I'm outside now talking to [inaudible] and them. Do you want to say something?

EliYah:
- Okay, so you're with the Bevins?

Don:
- Yeah, we're down here in West Virginia.

EliYah:
- Very good. Well, say Shabbat Shalom to everyone for us.

Don:
- We will. Yahweh be with you, and we'll talk again.

EliYah:
- All right, brother.

Don:
- We'll see you.

EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom. HalleluYah. Brother Don Baco. I've known him for about 14 years now. It's good to talk to him again and also Tahar. Looks like they're having a big get-together there at Chuck's place. Our phone lines are both now open, I think. No, we've got one more call on the line. All right. Ah, the call I've been waiting on! Brother Gavriel from Ohio. Shabbat Shalom, brother.

Gavriel:
- Shabbat Shalom! Long time no talk.

EliYah:
- Yeah. How are you doing?

Gavriel:
- I am doing great.

EliYah:
- Glad to hear that.

Gavriel:
- How's you and the family doing?

EliYah:
- We're all a little sick over here with the flu, but we're hanging in there. We had a good time at the Feast of Unleavened Bread and Passover in Kentucky. But now we're getting the garden in. We did some tilling this week and trying to get that all ready for us.

Gavriel:
- First I want to say Shabbat Shalom to everyone. This is Gavriel. I haven't called in awhile. So Shabbat Shalom to everyone. I also wanted to make an announcement so that everybody officially knew anyway, that as of the eighth day of the counting of the omer, the first day of this week, me and Yohana Miryam are officially betrothed as husband and wife.

EliYah:
- Wow. HalleluYah! Praise Yahweh!

Gavriel:
- She's in the chat room under the name ChioYah [phonetic]. I just wanted to make that announcement so that everybody knew. I would just ask that everybody would keep us in your prayers. The enemy has tried to attack both of us on many occasions. I just would ask that everyone in here would pray that Yahweh would guide me to seek His face and do what's pleasing to Him.
- Many times, I've found that the hardest thing is trying to find the balance between what pleases Yahweh and what works--basically how to lead a relationship is a new thing to me and leading a relationship according to Yahweh, not according to what the world says.
- I would just ask that everybody would keep that in your prayers, that you would pray for me that I would always seek to do whatever is pleasing to Yahweh, first. I can't go on the way the world thinks about relationships. So this is a big challenge for me to learn the things I need to do as a man in a relationship. I would ask for prayers from everyone in here, anybody listening.
- Pray that Yahweh would bless our relationship. In a few weeks, I graduate from the university I'm going to, and I'll be looking for work and going to prepare a place for us. If everybody could keep all these things in your prayers, I really need your prayers.
- The enemy is always trying to attack, especially when two people are coming together. I think that means Yahweh must have some great plans for us.

EliYah:
- So many times, that's so true. That's very true. We're going to add you here to our prayer list, and we'll all pray together for you at the conclusion of the broadcast today.

Gavriel:
- I just want to thank anybody--I don't know if the Forniers are listening today, but I just want to thank them for the words of wisdom they gave us at the Feast of Tabernacles and anybody else who's been an encouragement to me and Yohana--you, EliYah, for all the times you've really helped us--just anybody else there who's encouraged us along the way.
- I really want to thank all of you. Just know that I'm a happy man!

EliYah:
- HalleluYah! Glad to hear that. Congratulations to you and Yohana. May Yahweh make this union a glory to Him, and may the children who are to be born from this be His children all the days of their life.

Gavriel:
- We don't have any specific date set yet, because that's up to Yahweh, but Yahweh willing, we would like to actually have the ceremony--there's a place that's near the baptism site, near where we had the Feast of Tabernacles. It's near there.

EliYah:
- Okay.

Gavriel:
- If Yahweh permits us, that's where we kind of want to do that at. So, Yahweh willing, whenever it does happen, it'll be down there near that site.

EliYah:
- So you're thinking of having the actual wedding at the Feast of Tabernacles this year?

Gavriel:
- Well, it might be at it, or it might be sometime around it.

EliYah:
- Okay.

Gavriel:
- I don't really know exactly when, and I don't know if it would--I don't know if it's acceptable to do it during the Feast of Tabernacles there.

EliYah:
- I think it would be a great idea.

Gavriel:
- That's something I'm keeping in prayer. That's the direction we both felt led.

EliYah:
- Very good.

Gavriel:
- Me, too.

EliYah:
- Yeah, that's great. I think it would be a wonderful thing.

Gavriel:
- We're just praying about it and praying that Yahweh will--Yahweh does provide all things. I just have to believe He will and just do whatever He wants me to do.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Gavriel:
- I just wanted to say Shabbat Shalom to everyone, and keep us in your prayers.

EliYah:
- All right, brother. Congratulations. Yahweh be with you both and guide you in all His ways. HalleluYah.

Gavriel:
- Yahweh bless you and keep you.

EliYah:
- Shalom.

Gavriel:
- Shabbat Shalom.

EliYah:
- Good to hear from Gavriel. Actually, Feast of Tabernacles and weddings, hm--I think one day we're all going to tabernacle with Yahweh. Right? Hm. I think it would be an appropriate occasion for Sukkot, if you really think about it. Wouldn't that be a beautiful thing?
- Actually, there was a wedding at the Passover, just before Passover this past week or two, two or three weeks ago. That was a pretty special occasion. I think there were some 600 people at that wedding. It was pretty awesome how it was put together.
- HalleluYah. I think we do have somebody else on the line who is currently speaking to my daughter, who is our assistant here at EliYah.com broadcast center. [laughs] She likes to be my call screener and also the person who gets to fellowship first.
- So we're always second in line over here. I believe we have an empty line on line two. I believe we have Sister Sadie on line one. Shabbat Shalom to you.

Sadie:
- Shabbat Shalom, Brother Tom! How are you guys?

EliYah:
- I'm doing very well. We're waiting patiently, patiently, patiently for some good news.

Sadie:
- Well, you know, we are too. [laughs]

EliYah:
- I figured you might be.

Sadie:
- We are, too. Yahweh, this week, He's been awesome. My due date was Thursday, and no sign of really anything, but we just--well, the first day of the week this last week, we thought maybe we were going into labor, but we didn't.
- It all stopped by that evening, and so we had good sleep, and we've had good rest. My parents all week--they've just been hanging in there with me through the little shakes or whatever, when I think this could be it, and it's not.
- Yah has been so good. He's been so faithful. I'm feeling amazingly awesome. So when it does start, I know that the Father has given us strength to hang in there and to deliver this beautiful baby into the world.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Sadie:
- We're excited.

EliYah:
- We're excited for you.

Sadie:
- Oh, thank you.

EliYah:
- I think a lot of people are. I actually called Neil a couple of days ago to find out what's going on. He didn't call me back.

Sadie:
- Yeah, I know! A lot of people have been like that, because we thought Sunday was the day. Then everything kind of stopped. Right as the sun went down, it all stopped.

EliYah:
- Oh, okay.

Sadie:
- We decided to have a family game night.

EliYah:
- Okay. So how is Shiloh. I think I hear him there in the background.

Sadie:
- Yeah, that was him. He's amazing. He's a year old now, and he's just about into everything. He knows "no" really well, and he's learning that obedience is a good thing. [laughs] And that disobedience isn't a good thing. But he's doing amazing.
- We're so proud of him. He's such a little Yahweh's boy, truly a Yahweh's boy. We are so thankful for him. And then having the second one, they're going to be so close together. We just see them just being a team of Yahweh's children, just ready to do His will.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah. That's going to be beautiful. I'm sure they'll be best friends.

Sadie:
- Oh, yes. Oh, yes, they will. If we have the baby here soon, they'll only be about 13 months apart. That's not too far apart.

EliYah:
- Our older children are a year and three days apart.

Sadie:
- Oh, wow.

EliYah:
- And our younger children are a year and two months apart. So we're familiar with the arrangement.

Sadie:
- HalleluYah, halleluYah.

EliYah:
- It is a blessing, because they do grow up together to be close.

Sadie:
- Yes, they do. Yes, they do. It's been an amazing journey, especially this week. We've just been like doing a lot of housecleaning. You know, turning into spring, we're seeing the green leaves starting to come out and the beautiful green grass.
- The Father has helped us to look at the things we have in our home and look at the clutter and say enough's enough, and start getting rid of things we don't use or don't need.
- It's been an amazing spiritual week of just housecleaning and getting prepared for this little one to come into the world. Then, of course, for Shiloh, too, 'cause he's just as important as this new one. And they're going to be great buds, so it's going to be awesome.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah. HalleluYah. Well, make sure Neil calls us as soon as it happens. We'll be rejoicing.

Sadie:
- We will. We will for sure. Please do keep us in prayer. Everybody keep us in prayer. I'm actually feeling quite amazingly awesome, and Yahweh has just blessed this pregnancy abundantly with energy. I think I have Shiloh, too, to keep me going.
- It's been really awesome, so I actually feel great. So it's not like I'm in that pregnancy mother stage where nine months is up and I'm about to keel over. [laughs] I actually feel quite amazing.

EliYah:
- Glad to hear that.

Sadie:
- We want to play a song for you, guys, if that's okay.

EliYah:
- Oh, it's quite okay. Got lots of requests already.

Sadie:
- Oh, good, good. Gabe is tuning my guitar real quick, and Shiloh is trying to beat on it. Hold on one second.

EliYah:
- All-righty. My guess is we probably have a couple of musicians who are going to be part of this family, as well.

Sadie:
- HalleluYah.

EliYah:
- It's be a beautiful thing to hear them all singing together one day. HalleluYah. Sister Sadie has recorded some songs, some of which we often play here on the broadcast. Hopefully, we'll see her and her family for Tabernacles this year. HalleluYah.

Sadie:
- And we have another praise report. My mom and dad are actually going to be receiving their seventh grandchild next year, actually in January of next year. My brother Zach and his wife have just found out they're pregnant.

EliYah:
- Wow.

Sadie:
- So be in prayer for them.

EliYah:
- Okay.

Sadie:
- They're really excited about it. Mom and dad are, too. This is number seven for them, so they're excited.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah. We'll add them to prayer, as well. Of course, for you all. HalleluYah.

Sadie:
- HalleluYah, halleluYah.
- [Music Ministry by Sadie and Gabe: "Blessed is the Man"]

EliYah:
- Good Psalm. HalleluYah.

Sadie:
- HalleluYah. Can we do one more song for you guys?

EliYah:
- Of course.

Sadie:
- This is one we played for you guys once before. This is just a blessing, especially to delight ourselves and esteem Shabbat esteemed. This is called "The Sabbath Song." It's from Isaiah 58,the last few verses in that chapter.

Gabe:
- Get your Scripture books out and follow along.

EliYah:
- Sounds good.

Gabe:
- Worship Yah in spirit and in truth with all of our heart, soul, and might.
- [Music Ministry by Sadie and Gabe: "The Sabbath Song"]

Sadie:
- HalleluYah! Shabbat Shalom, everybody!

EliYah:
- HalleluYah! Shabbat Shalom to you, as well.

Gabe:
- We love you all very much. Yahweh bless you and keep you, and may He make His face shine upon you.

Sadie:
- HalleluYah.

EliYah:
- HalleluYah. And may the birth be a glory to Him, in Yahushua's name.

Gabe:
- HalleluYah! HalleluYah! It will.

EliYah:
- Amein. HalleluYah. Looking forward next week, Yahweh willing, to hear the good news about the new child to be born to Sadie and Gabe. HalleluYah. All right, I believe we have one last phone call, which was also our first call. Brother Curtis from Florida, Shabbat Shalom.

Curtis:
- Shabbat Shalom.

EliYah:
- How are you all doing?

Curtis:
- We got some feedback going again?

EliYah:
- I think we're fine now.

Curtis:
- Yeah, early on you were having little issues with a couple of calls I heard.

EliYah:
- Yeah.

Curtis:
- Our RealPlayer is messed up a little bit. I'm not sure. We had some kind of bugs we've been dealing with in the computer, which is a strange thing. I guess it's just another part of the extreme attacks that are going on lately.

EliYah:
- Yes, there have been quite a few of those.

Curtis:
- The last few months have been really getting--I think most people are feeling the urgency to pay attention to your study, the subject of your study today, as well as the adversary's apparent urgent attacks of every direction.

EliYah:
- Yeah. I think there's a lot of trials going on, just by different people that I'm hearing from. It seems like things are accelerating. It's just a little precursor. I'm sure that there are more trials to come.

Curtis:
- Oh, yeah.

EliYah:
- That's why we really need to draw close to Yahweh and be there for each other and pray for each other.

Curtis:
- Yeah, exactly. To got to get that dross out, the fire gets heated up pretty hot.

EliYah:
- Exactly.

Curtis:
- Extremely hot! Tests, tests get difficult.

EliYah:
- You must through may tribulations enter the kingdom of Elohim.

Curtis:
- Yeah, I was just discussing a little bit there in the chat room about the pronunciations. I'm going to see if I can get somebody that would explain a little more. I know it's apparently a touchy issue. Some good brothers of ours really extremely rebuked me because, according to them, and I agree, for me I agree, for a person to not do what they know is right is sin to them.
- What you know, please abide by. But they rebuked me on pronunciation, saying it's a salvational issue. I know people want to pick out what's salvational and what's not. I think it's all what you know is right or not is salvational.

EliYah:
- Exactly.

Curtis:
- I was just explaining that several people I know that are from Israel, as well as first generation here--we lived in Miami. I lived in Miami for about ten years. There's a lot of people from Israel there. According to them, the pronunciation is Yahweh, which if you speak English, comes out more or less Yahweh.
- They have a little jerkiness, as you experienced a couple of months ago. They have a little start and stop and a lot of that kind of stuff going on in the Hebrew language.
- I decided to call back in. I really enjoyed all the calls. The guy I was speaking to recently is right here in Florida. I've talked to him several times and kind of encouraged to get together. We would enjoy that. Once again, I gave him my phone number. The ball's in your court. The ball's in their court.
- That was one reason I called. Originally, we called to sing a couple of songs also that, as usual, came to our mind listening to your study. As Bill mentioned, which has happened to us many times over the last couple of years, once again, this has a lot of the same verses and subject and subject matter of the study you went over today. It was part of our studies this past week.
- Mainly, we actually published online several places, "Teach us to number our days, that our hearts would be made wise or that we would have hearts of wisdom."
- The other one I posted in there, I don't think you mentioned it, is where Yahushua says, "Who are my mother and brothers? Those that follow my instructions are my mother and brothers."

EliYah:
- Right.

Curtis:
- Which, I guess, I kind of take that to mean family, close family.

EliYah:
- Amein.

Curtis:
- That's my close family. Anyway, we enjoyed the study very much and the calls. Wow, Sadie must be about ready to--just yeah. I suggested a couple of weeks ago to do the stairs, skipping every other step. Yeah.

EliYah:
- Doing the stairs?

Curtis:
- Yeah, it's an older natural method to induce. You do stairs, a stairwell or a set of stairs, skipping every other step, up and down.

EliYah:
- Oh, okay. You're talking about for labor?

Curtis:
- Yeah.

EliYah:
- To induce labor.

Curtis:
- Inducing labor.

EliYah:
- I see.

Curtis:
- Every other step, you skip every other step.

EliYah:
- Mm-hm.

Curtis:
- Going up and down. That's to help it start.

EliYah:
- Ah, okay.

Curtis:
- Supposedly it works. We've never had to try it.

EliYah:
- I've never tried that. All right, so you have a couple of songs you want to share?

Curtis:
- Yeah, let's see here. Hold on a second. Let's see here. Hold on. Here we go.

EliYah:
- Is your family going to join you in the singing? He might be away from the...
- [Curtis giving shofar blast]

EliYah:
- There we go.
- [Curtis continues giving shofar blast]

Sonshine Girls:
- Praise Yahweh!

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Sonshine Girls:
- Shabbat Shalom!

EliYah:
- Shabbat Shalom.
- [Music Ministry by Curtis and Family: "Open the Eyes of My Heart"]

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.

Curtis and Family:
- HalleluYah!
- [Music Ministry by Curtis and Family: "Walking in the Light"]

EliYah:
- HalleluYah! Shabbat Shalom to you all. Hello, Shabbat Shalom. Thanks for sharing. Bye-bye. HalleluYah. Always good to hear the children of Yahweh, families of Yahweh singing together. HalleluYah.
- I think that will be the last of our phone calls for the day. If you'd like to share a prayer request you may have, we will offer that together as Yahweh's people, as we collect these prayer requests, thanks to my daughter here, who keeps track of all these things for me. I don't know what I'd do without her sometimes.
- These broadcasts can get very confusing, people talking at the same time I'm talking in the chat room, and prayer requests, and she keeps it all straight for me.
- If you'd just make your prayer requests known here in the room, we will go ahead and add it to our list. In the meantime, we're going to choose some songs here from the library. This next one is going to be a song in Hebrew called "Ram Ve'nisa HaMashiach, High and Lifted Up is Mashiach."
- [Music Ministry: "Ram Ve'nisa HaMashiach," "I Love You Father"]

EliYah:
- HalleluYah.
- [Music Ministry: "Lead Me to the River of Your Healing Waters"]

EliYah:
- Amein. May Yahweh fill you with His Spirit, as the remainder of this Shabbat draws on, and this coming work week. By the way, this evening, if you look out in the area of the sunset, within an hour or so after sunset, you should see the new moon of the second month.
- I encourage you to get your families together and go and take a look. It's a special time for family to get together.
- Make sure you blow the shofar, if you have one. It's a good time. I encourage you to do that.
- In the meantime, looking forward to another Shabbat meeting again next week. I enjoyed this today with you, especially the phone calls and the interaction and singing with the brethren. HalleluYah. Shabbat Shalom to your homes. Yahweh willing, we'll hear from you again next week. Shalom.
